Rimuru smiled, soaking in the sunshine as he sat on a bench in the park, watching as Ranga, his pet Storm Wolf, shrunk to the size of a large dog, ran around the park, enjoying the wide space. The wolf had been so patient on their train-ride that after settling his luggage in his dorm-room, the slime had brought him to the park, after asking directions, of course.
Rimuru was looking forward to his time at the academy, as he hadn't expected to become much of anything after Veldora took him in, besides remaining a servant for most of his life, but lo and behold, here he is now, the adopted brother of a powerful king of a powerful country and his heir to the throne! Most sentient slimes never expected to get that far in life, if they made it to live that, anyways. Sad to say, slime life-expectancy wasn't all that great, considering the smarter ones were often mistaken for their mindless wild cousins and slay by hunters.
But here Rimuru was, a prince to a kingdom full of magic and demons, starting his education to prepare for what awaited him back home. Besides, these years he was going to be at the academy was probably the only time he would have to slack off and enjoy being a kid, so he might as well take advantage.
Grinning, he jumped from his seat on the bench, and ran over to Ranga, tackling the Storm Wolf and instigating play-wrestling, much to the canine's loud delight, judging by the barks and licks, making the slime laugh.

Honoka was around the meadows and around the path that guided around the park. She looked at the different creatures and humans passing the day too. She kicked some rocks as a young girl shall do. But she remembers Chuutaro and her time playing with dog she had to leave at home. She has her own thoughts about returning back at school. What new things shall happen, and which new students and teachers are going to be. She was under her own way. She has her ring on his hand, as it shines before a baseball size drop came from it. And later, the drop turned into a blob with eyes.
”Mu...” as it starts to mea around. Honoka was so focused on her thoughts to realize her water elemental had already awaken. And it started to move around the ground and the place as well. As a small child looking the environment around.
“Hmm... seems I have to ask for at my grandma if I can go for Chuutaro next time...” she laughed cutely but she turned a little negative in depression “of course, she is going to refuse” sighs “But, I think i heard this a class where we shall look after an animal. Perhaps I can find one to have some fun” She raised her left hand and looked on the ring she has there “Right, Kanji?”
Honoka stopped her walking to see the object on her finger ring. “Kanji? Are you awake?” She asked in concern, as look at it. Then, she turned her sight around the park. As her fright turned real. “Kanji!! Kanji, respond!!” As she starts to seek for her elemental.

As Rimuru and Ranga wrestled playfully, the Storm Wolf paused on his stomach, Rimuru sitting confusedly on his back as the canine tilted his head, ears twitching. Standing up, Rimuru gripping on the fur on his neck, Ranga began walking towards the sound he could.
Soon, Rimuru could hear the noise himself; the sound of a girl crying out to someone. And soon, the wolf and owner spotted a girl with dark-blue hair looking around frantically, calling out a name, "Kanji". Rimuru frowned worriedly as he climbed down off of Ranga and walked towards her. He couldn't ignore someone who was clearly upset and was looking for someone.
"Um, excuse me, miss? Are you looking for someone?" Rimuru asked, Ranga walking up behind his master.

Honoka was looking his elemental around the corners he might go around, the park was so big he could be anywhere. And due be a water elemental like blob he could be in any small spot. She was going around the green pastures, looking on the nearby trees, some benches. Around the people who were around as creatures with bags. She apologized with them as she focus on the search of her elemental.
”Kanji, please come back!!” She was crying for his elemental that was giving her a hard time. “Kanji, this is not funny! Where are you!?”
She was despairing for him. Until he heard someone calling her. She turned the sight to see the one. It looks like Kanji. A blob but over a kind of wolf like creature behind. She has tears in her eyes. By one moment, she believes the blob before her eyes was her elemental. ”Kanji...?” She knelt to see him as pat him not convinced “...Sorry, But you are not him...” she said
”I lost my water elemental. It is a small blob...like you but more puddle... and smaller” she covered her hands in shame for this whole problem. “I wasn’t careful when he awakened”

A bit confused at the girl suddenly walking up to him and petting him, but after receiving an explanation, Rimuru understood. Seems she wasn't paying attention, and the elemental woke up and got curious, so he started to explore. And he looked like him...Rimuru hadn't meet another slime creature in years.
With all these factors, and the fact the girl looked so upset, made Rimuru decide to help her.
"Don't worry, miss, I'll help you find him!" Rimuru exclaimed, bobbing up and down in his slime form, having transformed back during his playing with Ranga.

Honoka looked on the slime behind her while she was cleaning her face. She was so worried for her elemental as a mother would be with a child. She smiled back.
”Thanks... thanks so much” she said at the slime, as she kept looking on him. She was ill-worried for the little blob. “Thanks, Mr. Slime” she said trying to calm herself as look the wolf behind “Is it your pet, Mr. Slime?”
Meanwhile Kanji was some meters away from them, looking how the children around were around a water pond. As small animals can be seen around too. Some pets and others the local fauna of the place. Kanji thought it would be so great be inside the pond. He found it fascinating. The blob made its way at the not so big but enough lake ahead. People just looked at it. Like it was some kind of animal from Lunaville.

"You're welcome, miss! And you don't have to call me Mr. Slime, my name is Rimuru." Rimuru replied before glancing back at Ranga at the girl's question. "Yeah, that's Ranga. He's a dear friend of mine." The slime replied.
"Oh, and what's your name, miss?" Rimuru asked.

Honoka cleaned her eyes with the sleeves of his dress, as she made a gentle bow at the slime. Like someone in the noble status would do.
”My name is Honoka Yukishiro. Mr. Rimuru” she said while look at the wolf behind again “He looks like Chuutaro. My dog back home. Well, without the horn or the star on its forehead” she said with a small giggle. She was a little eager to pat the head of Ranga. “Can I...?”

"It's nice to meet you, Miss Honoka!" Rimuru replied happily, doing the best approximation of a bow as he could in his current form. At Honoka's question, the slime looked at his pet wolf.
"Of course, if Ranga doesn't mind!" Rimuru said, causing Ranga to walk forward and sniff the girl. After a brief moment of taking in her scent, Ranga let out a deep bark and leaned his head down to nudge her hand. Seemed Ranga was allowing her to pet him.

Honoka looked the wolf going next to her as the movements it was doing too. She put her hand near the maw and around the head slowly, she doesn’t want to startle the canine to do something dangerous. No matter how trained it would be. The girl laughed cute as her hand touched the soft fur of the animal there. Part of her sadness had dwindled. But she was sick worried about her elemental.
”Your wolf is very nice, Mr. Rimuru” Honoka said while pat the head as take care to not hurt herself with the horn. “Perhaps...” she looked on the slime “...can Ranga search Kanji?” Of course, she didn’t know if an elemental can leave a track of smell behind. But it was worth the try.

Ranga out let a content rumble as Honoka pet him, his tail wagging contently. But both he and Rimuru could tell Honoka was still worried about her elemental.
"Yeah, he really is." Rimuru replied, the slime's eyes shaping into happy upside-down U's. At Honoka's question, Rimuru hummed in thought. Ranga had often easily found the prince himself, so, it likely was possible. Considering Honoka initially confusing him for Kanji, it seems the elemental was a slime, so there shouldn't be much of a difference in scent, either. If it left one behind, that is.
"I don't know, but I think it's worth a try! Do you have anything that Ranga can get his scent from?" Rimuru asked.

Honoka looked around her things anything that Ranga can use to track on Kanji, but she didn’t have a cloth around. Yet, she looked thenring she has where Kanji likes to be when feel tired or she needs to move long distances and cannot afford the little one move all over with the fear of miss him. Thing it didn’t work this time. She presented the ring at Ranga.
”This ring is used to summon my water elemental. And he is inside this thing normally. To replenish its energy or when i need to go somewhere else and i cannot leave him behind at my room” she spoke feeling shame for what is happening, either guilty, ”I should be more careful...I know...”

Rang began sniffing at the ring for a moment then moved to sniff the ground, searching for a scent to follow, as Rimuru did his best to comfort Honoka.
"Miss Honoka, it'll be alright. Before you know it, we'll find him!" The slime prince reassured her. Just then, Ranga looked in the direction of the park's lake and began walking towards it, looking back and barking at the two.
"Oh, Ranga found his scent!" Rimuru said.

Honoka didn’t waited before the wolf detected the presence of the elemental. She goes straight at the place he was found. She was so happy and worried at the same time, she pushed at humans and creatures alike, as give a small apologize as she continued ahead. While the girl was so worried approaching. The small elemental was enjoying the water as it was around. Like a small blob of oil, he swims around while the water kept him above.
”Kanji!!” She shouted at the small blob as she looked at the water. She wasn’t sure where to look. She looked the water around. “Kanji, please come back!!” She shouted while waterfall tears for the small creature.
”Mu!” Kanji mews around as it was found on the center. Honoka tried to stretch her arm to reach him... but he was quite away; and the girl was going to swim for him.

Rimuru quickly hurried after Honoka, bobbing up and down in an effort to the girl in his sights. Ranga kept close to his master, his large size and looks making people back away out of surprise.
Seeing the girl was more then ready to swim over to the elemental, which he saw really indeed look a bit like him, Rimuru immediately went over to her.
"Miss Honoka, you can't just swim in the lake! It could be dangerous for you, and you might get in trouble!" Rimuru said. He understood her worry, but she couldn't just rush ahead without thinking.
