But what did Slime do wrong?

"I like you."

If at the beginning it was only due to hormonal stimulation, temporary heart touching, and other more or less reasons that he spoke such words impulsively, then afterward, Limulu did not hold back for what he said. Feel yourself slipping up.

On the contrary, it was like clearing away the fog and mist, making Limulu feel that something in his heart suddenly became clear.

Hmm, he likes Veldora.Rimuru thought so.

However, this is also a matter of course, right?

From the very beginning, the two parties have been bound together.Before coming into contact with this world and establishing bonds with other beings, only Veldora was by his side.

He is his confidence to face the world, the witness of his journey all the way, and the best friend who shared everything with him.

Moreover, even when he came to another world, Veludra appeared beside him first, just like in the past, at least because of Veludra's existence, Rimuru knew that he was not alone in this world. in this world.

Such feelings have surpassed the stage that "friendship" can summarize and describe.

and so.

It's no problem to go up a little bit, right?

Rimuru thought so, and repeated what she said before: "Well, I like Veludra the most."

"Oh!"

Veldora was stunned for a moment.

After instinctively responding, he realized what Limuru was saying, so he raised an extremely enthusiastic smile and said with a big laugh: "I like Limuru very much too!"

Rimuru: "...No, I think we may not be talking about the same thing."

He sighed like this, but he didn't have any intention of clearly breaking the previous difference with Veludra—after all, Rimuru could not understand whether the Storm Dragon could understand such emotions. Really skeptical.

Well, that's fine.

Just keep it the way it is now.

Because this liking is just "his own thing", right?

"Rimuru?"

Veludra hesitated and stretched out his arms to hug Rimuru. Although he didn't understand why the other party's emotions suddenly dropped and then rose again, the joy that came from the connection between their souls really made him I couldn't help but feel happy together.

"Are you happy?"

He couldn't help but ask.

"Yes."

Veldora heard the answer from the boy who was being held by him.

"Because I thought about some things clearly... So, even the mood that was not very happy at first became brighter like the sun shining down and dispelling the dark clouds."

There are too many things that have been pressed on Limulu before, one after another, and it is impossible to tell others.

Ciel is a very good companion, but he has no entity, cannot be touched, and lacks emotion, and he cannot sensitively give Limuru some spiritual comfort.

However, any organism needs to maintain a balance.

If there is only input but no output, then one day it will expand and explode due to too much capacity; if there is only output but no input, then it may also be exhausted in an unpredictable future.

Fortunately, Veludra appeared at the right time. Before the string in Limuru's heart was really broken and collapsed, he broke in forcefully and flattened everything with a thunderous gesture.

"Hu~~"

Rimuru let out a long breath.

Now if I look back at my previous behavior, it is indeed because the person involved in the accident was involved in Charles, and I lost my sense of control.

You only need to calm down and you will find that there is no room for manipulation.

After all... Becoming a god is not something that is easy and only needs to be said.Even if there is the will of the world to secretly open the gates to release the flood, it is still a process that takes time to accumulate and nurture.

I messed up my position before, and just wanted to bring Shire back to avoid the calculations of the will of the world. There is no need to rush this matter.

Since he was able to plan for ten years and finally control the natural disaster called "Hundred Ghosts of the Night" in one fell swoop; now, Limuru thinks, he can also use the second ten years to bring Shire home.

Thinking about it this way, Limulu's mood immediately became as relaxed and carefree as if the clouds were lifted to see the moon.

——Then noticed their current situation, it seemed that something was not good.

At least the gazes from the people around him seemed...not all friendly.

Limulu:?

what happened?

***

"... Limuru."

Green King Yu Zhang Xun looked at the young man in front of him, and finally let out a very helpless sigh after a long while.

"I hope that the next time we meet, it won't be such an embarrassing situation anymore."

Rimuru: "Hahaha..."

Apart from an awkward smile, it seemed that he didn't know what else to say.

This matter is really embarrassing, because Veldora, who has never been able to read the air very much, and does not care about other people's gazes, did not pay much attention to Rimuru's request "Put me down, Veldora" from the beginning to the end. if.

As for Rimuru, she mentioned it to Veludra more than once, but obviously, the other party just ignored it.

If it were any other time on weekdays, Rimuru would definitely insist until Veludra put herself down; but today Rimuru was preoccupied by other things, so for a while and a half After a while, I actually forgot about it.

So, imagine that scenario.

A muscular adult man with blond hair, black skin, strong muscles, and a bare upper body hugged the long-haired "girl" who looked petite and cute and had a delicate face in his arms in front of the public.

And it's a young girl... Maybe she's even younger, she's just a half-old child.

The child was still begging the man to put himself down again and again.

No, no matter how you look at it, it's a naked crime scene!

Why don't you call the police immediately?

The above is the reason why Limuru and Veludra are both staying in the police station now, waiting for Yu Zhangxun to come to find someone—even though Limulu has repeatedly emphasized that he has not been coerced, Veludra was definitely not a bad person, but they were still sent to the police station.

Rimuru: "..."

It was caught off guard.

This kind of thing is really embarrassing, so facing Yu Zhangxun's half-joking and half-serious admonition, Li Mulu agreed with some embarrassment: "Okay, yes, it should! There will be no next time! "

Although this is what he said, Limulu himself did not dare to guarantee it.

After all, no one likes to go to the police station... But in life, all kinds of emergencies happen nine times out of ten, and who can say what will happen next time!

Yu Zhangxun let out another long sigh.

He parted with Rimuru and Veludra at the gate of the police station, and he did not forget to tell: "Remember your promise, Rimuru."

Rimuru: "Hey! I know!"

Now the promise is good, as for whether to do it in the future, that is another matter.

Yu Zhangxun left worriedly, and Limulu thought about the agreement between himself and the Elf King, and found that it was still a few years before the next Shaman King competition.

Since the last time the will of the world was stunned, it suddenly became hoarse, so that for a while, Limuru realized that he had nothing to do.

"Well."

I was free in no time.

So now... what to do?

Rimuru was thinking in her heart, and when she turned her head and saw Veludra next to her, her eyes lit up.

He might know what to do.

"Veldra!"

Rimuru extended an invitation.

"Let's go on a trip together!"

Although it is a little bit, it only belongs to my own little thoughts.

I want to travel to every corner of the world with you - this is the promise we made when we first met, but has never been fulfilled.
