Shizue is fond of him and trusts him deeply due to his nature, to the point that she requested to be absorbed by Rimuru and entrusted her students to Rimuru as she was dying after Rimuru saved her from being taken over by the Fire Spirit Ifrit. Rimuru is also fond of her as he addresses her as Shizu and strives to fulfill his promise with her. After absorbing Shizu, Rimuru's human form is similar to that of a younger Shizu, albeit with silver hair and golden eyes.
