Summary
The goblins easily recognize Rimuru even though he is in human form. Garm gives him clothes as even if he doesn't have gender, it doesn't feel right to walk naked. The construction of the town goes smoothly and Rimuru decides to go to the sealed cave. He sees Rigurd, who became even more sturdy after becoming the goblin king as their population increased, Rimuru had to assign four more goblin leaders under Rigurd to help with the control of the residents. Rigurd wonders if Rimuru won't eat today and Rimuru explains he will skip as his slime body don't have taste. However, he then realizes he is in human body and can get the sense of taste back. He immediately tells Rigurd that he will be eating with them from now on and Rigurd decides to prepare a banquet tonight.

Rimuru gets happy that he will be able to taste food. He encounters Gobta and other goblins who are out hunting and scouting. He informs them that he will be joining them for dinner and Gobta wonders if eating will help his breast grow, which comment results in Rimuru kicking him. The goblins comment that there is plenty of pray as lots of monster had been coming from the deep forest lately. Rimuru tells Ranga to stay with the goblins, while he heads into the cave. While patrolling, the goblins had found Shizue's mask and they give it to Rimuru.

Inside the cave, Rimuru wants to practice as he had gained many new skills and is forgetting some of them. He recalls he had learn heat resistance, physical damage nullification, pain nullification. He also has electrical and paralysis nullification, but can't remember why he got them and Great Sage explains that likely there wasn't enough information on his request and obtained alternative skills. Rimuru believes it was due to his request of his subordinate to throw his computer in a bathtub to short circuit it. Rimuru finds it strange that Great Sage doesn't know them as he explains the skills, but Great Sage comments the Voice of the World is the one informing him about the skills, which makes Rimuru realize he did hear that voice before he obtained Great Sage.

Hours later, Rimuru has been practicing some of his skills. He creates a clone and adds defensive skills, while attacks with a Black Flame. The Black Flame is quite powerful, but the clone is unharmed. Rimuru feels his attack and defense had gotten stronger thanks to Great Sage and Shizue's Shapeshifter skill, which was making Shizue unite and separate with Irfit. Great Sage then informs Rimuru of multiple skills that he learnt are being combined and forming new more powerful ones. Rimuru learns that Shizue's mask can suppress magic power and when using it, he doesn't leak any monster power and seems human. Going out of the cave, Rimuru receive a telepathy call from Ranga. Realizing its a distress call, Rimuru heads out and finds the goblins and Ranga defeated by a group of ogres.
