Gazel warns him to be cautious around Elmesia. True to the warning, the Demon Lord feels overwhelmed as he begins the greeting. Raphael detects the mental interference and blocks it, determining it is not an attack but a result of Elmesia's Heroic Aura skill leaking. After the greetings, Elmesia requests a private meeting later with Rimuru to discuss some matters.

Later, Gazel inquires if Rimuru was nearly overwhelmed by Elmesia, but he pauses when he notices she might be eavesdropping, thanks to her superior elf hearing. Mjollmile then briefly visits Rimuru to discuss trade-related matters.
