Re:zero x Rimuru

The beginning of a new life.

Rinehart arrived giving off a heroic aura, his presence alone had rendered all the surrounding mana and spirit useless.

His appearance was heroic and very knightly. A hint of concern in his face as he asked.

" I apologize for my delayed arrival, Is everyone alright? This place is- "

Still sweating a little bit he observed his surroundings, everything on sight was in ruins. Not even the ashes of the enemy remained.

Seems like it's already over...

Moving his focus towards the people around him, still concerned for their well being he asked.

" Is anyone hurt...? " The thought, Just what the hell happened here kept going on inside his head.

That girl? how is she calm in a situation like this.? I shouldn't let my guard down
around her.

In that chaos he noticed someone still remained cool, that peeked his interest.
He slowly walked towards that person.

Assured of his suspicion he still politely asked- " Greetings, young lady. I'd like to apologize if this is rude. But, could you please explain, how you are so calm in such a absurd situation like this? "

Although, it was hidden to perfection Rinehart could still feel the ominous aura lurking within that girl.

Rimuru pov-

My aura is suppressed to zero and yet. This, human─ this knight can feel it. You are a true piece of work, aren't you? dear
Knight.

He suspended the world's time leaving only himself and the knight before him moving. He released his divine presence before him as he introduced himself.

with a wide, genuine grin-playful and full of admiration "Wow, that's pretty amazing! I didn't expect that from you! "

His warm and encouraging smile lifted off all the concern Rinehart had.

Noticing Rimuru's playful nature and such a divine presence Rinehart bowed in apologize for doubting divinity.

A/N: In case you're wondering why it's going so smoothly. This Divine aura makes anyone within its range lose the sense of threat.

Although that only made Rimuru feel uncomfortable. With a Cheerful smile.
Rimuru's tone rimuru said.

" whoa, you're something else, Reinhart. Even when you sensed something dangerous about me, you stayed calm and thought things through instead of acting recklessly. That takes guts and a lot of it! I really respect that.

You know what? As a reward for your courage and that strong sense of justice, I'm gonna give you a little gift. From now on, you're free─ completely free. No contracts, no bindings, nothing holding you back. Your will is yours, and no one else's. So go out there and live your life the way you want to. You've earned it! "

A/N: sigh─ And yet another blessing...

The blessing of freedom, for someone like Rinehart who had been held back by other's for his entire life, this was truly life changing. He thanked Rimuru for such a thoughtful and undeserved gift.

" It's nothing, happy to see you liked it! "
Time started moving again heeding rimuru's will. Rinehart again apologized everyone for his delayed arrival before disappearing from thin air.

" So, fast─ " emilia was left confused.

Puck, " That's Rinehart for you. "

Rimuru slowly walked towards emilia and handed her a copy of the Insegnia.
" That Rinehart fella gave me this, and took off with the loli and the ogre " said Rimuru while handing her the Insegnia.
