It tells the story of a reincarnated slime protagonist who learns the abilities of his enemies, interacts with and fights with many different races, and builds a country. Once the protagonist, Rimuru, has become the ruler of his country, he receives an unexpected visitor: Trainee, a tree fairy. What kind of person is she? We would like to introduce Trainee to you today.

The tree fairy Trainee suddenly came to Rimuru. The reason was a request to defeat Orc Lord. Trainee, who lives in a village of tree people, knows that if they are attacked by Orc Lords, the tree fairies alone will not be able to fight them off. So she comes to Rimuru, a village of strong monsters, and asks him to help her defeat them.
What are tree fairies anyway?

Tree fairies are the highest-ranking beings in the forest, and are called the "guardians of the tree people" and the "guardians of Jura Forest." They rarely appear before monsters, and are said to be aware of most of what happens in Jura Forest. Therefore, he knew not only about the existence of the Orc Lords, but also about the skills they were born with, Hunger, and Rimuru's unique skill, Predator. After hearing about the Orc Lord's skills, Rimuru realized that their city would also be a target, and decided to accept the request to exterminate them.

When Trainee came to request the defeat of the Orc Lord, she was surprisingly cunning. She never pressured Rimuru, and left the decision up to him, but she made a subtle remark from the outside that if Rimuru and his friends did not defeat the Orc Lord, they would suffer a disadvantage. It's the kind of hand-making that a salesperson would do. Rimuru, a former office worker slime, understands Trainee's methods and has no reason to refuse, so he accepts Trainee's request. Trainee is quite a capable person.

Among the monsters, tree fairies are the highest-ranking beings in the forest, and seem to have a certain amount of authority. When the Orc Lord was defeated, they immediately appeared and swore to hold a meeting. Also, no one objected to this. And, it seems that they are the CEO characters after all. He leaves the chairmanship to Relm, and although he is present, he does not say anything. So, following Rimuru's words, the Great Jura Forest Alliance is concluded, but the only time Trainee speaks is at the final moment when she swears that Rimuru-sama will be the leader. Why me?! Wasn't Trainee supposed to be a president character? Rimuru is confused.

When King Gazelle came to scout the slimes with the Tensho Knights, he didn't believe Rimuru, who was the leader of Jura Forest. At that time, the tree fairy Trainee appeared. The old dwarf woman who saw this was surprised and said, "A dryad?!" Trainee-san criticized the dwarf king's attitude towards their leader. From the way he spoke, it seemed that Gazelle was a king with no connection to Jura Forest, but he viewed the tree fairies as equals. Trainee-san's words made Rimuru believe, so it seems that Trainee-san's name had spread even outside the forest.

When he asked Rimuru to defeat the Orc Lord, he was watching the battle and muttering about how much he could trust Rimuru, but once the Orc Lord was defeated, his doubts were gone, and he trusted Rimuru and praised him as a master of Jura Forest. He has complete confidence in Rimuru's ability to do his job (in Treynee's case, it seems that he's not just strong), and he shrewdly tries to push government jobs onto Rimuru. Even when it was time to decide who would be the ruler of the country, he casually pushed the decision onto King Rimuru and Rimuru, which is typical of Treynee.

Trainee is under the protection of the Jura Forest Alliance, but her place of residence is gradually changing. She is now living in a dungeon. Rimuru hires Demon Lord Ramiris to descend the labyrinth and draw in adventurers as an attraction. He invites Trainee, who he meets by chance in the dungeon. Trainee readily accepts, and ends up living in the dungeon, once again coming under Rimuru's protection.

Trainee, with her shrewd conversation and the way she somehow pushes work onto Rimuru, is more like a president than a female CEO. She has no intention of trying to protect her own authority, and is attentive to everyone, making her the guardian of Jura Forest. And yet he doesn't seem to take command very much himself. In fact, he can summon spirits, but I wonder if Rimuru and the others know about it.
