Tempest History [Tensura X Slime No Taoshite]

The Blessing

The atmosphere in the turn silent the moment shizu and rimuru asked each other name, a few seconds passed untill now neither rimuru or shizu answer the question they just stare at each other, rimuru who has a nostalgic expression while shizu has a confused expression

"I'm rimuru tempest...the goblins leader" rimuru voice broke the silence, "..my name is shizue..shizue izawa" shizu introducing herself, 'i unconciously said my full name..' shizu thought to herself, she doesn't know why, but she feels as if it's natural to told rimuru

"..shizu-san, nice to meet you!" Rimuru said with wide smile, "me too..slime-san" after a while shizu realize that she call rimuru as slime-san, '!!! Wh-why i call her a slime?..this is..weird' shizu thought

Azusa who has been hearing this couldn't comprehend what is happening right now, 'why does she know danna-sama is a slime?' azusa thought to herself as she continue to watching those two

After the trio done with the meal, they decided to stay here for tonight, rimuru has asked the goblin to prepare a place for them to stay, rimuru then head up to the high ground as he know shizu is definitely there

And his guess is correct, Shizu is standing there while looking at the sun set, rimuru approach her from behind, "shizu-san.." rimuru called her slowly, "ah...you are here" shizu turn her head behind and see rimuru, after take a good look to rimuru shizu got a bit of surprise, as rimuru face is extremely identical to her but with far more beautiful

Rimuru who seeing shizu really want to tell her about his promise with shizu, 'shizu-san..i did it! I saved those childrens..i punch leon, i save hinata and i defeated yuuki!' rimuru really want to tell her that he has fulfill all of his promise, 'i want to tell you...i really want to tell you shizu-san..'

"Shizu-san, you can call me as you did before you know" rimuru said while suppressing his urge to tell shizu, "thank you slime-san" shizu replied then proceed to take off her mask, "you are from japan..right? Shizu-san" rimuru said as he approach shizu closer, "you know? I see, you are from japan too right? Slime-san" shizu correctly guess

As rimuru and shizu is talking to each other, a single figure can be seen behind the tree listening to whole conversation, yes it's azusa, the moment shizu take off her mask azusa got shocked for a moment, 'why..why does danna-sama and her has extremely similar face' azusa thought, various possibilities pop up to azusa mind, but she keep her calm and continue to listening

"I see,  you have a really wonderful family, slime-san" shizu said while listening to rimuru story, "yeah, i really grateful for that, my wife my daughters i love them very much" rimuru replied, azusa hearing this couldn't hold her tears down, she cover her mouth and slum to the ground, 'i'm sorry danna-sama....i'm sorry to have doubt you, i-i love you too' she thought to herself

Ciel has long sensed azusa, but not she don't tell rimuru about it, she herself make sure that rimuru don't notice azusa

After rimuru and shizu chatting for a while, kaijin come and called rimuru, rimuru after say goodbye to shizu continue to follow kaijin, azusa who seeing this right after rimuru dissapear from sight, she immediately approach shizu, shizu notice this but before she can't say anything azusa hug her

"Thank you....thank you very much.." even though azusa don't know what happen between rimuru and shizu azusa earlier thought that shizu must be rimuru former wife or whatever but after she heard their conversation she know that's not it, judging by rimuru human form and the mask there's no doubt that rimuru her husband has indebted to this shizu

Shizu got confused but she know she can't refused azusa who at this state, so she just slowly hug azusa back and gently caress azusa hair, even though azusa is much older, this scene is resembling a daughter who expressing her gratefulness for all her mother has done

"It's okay azusa-san...you have such wonderful husband, so there's nothing to worried about, just live your best life with your family" shizu said gently, shizu herself don't know what is happening right now, but she seem happy seeing rimuru family live well
