"My Destined One" • Tensura x Arifureta

Ch 42: Dialogues and the other fainted man

Ciel had finished the ritual and the angels were returning. Rimuru was talking to Chloe. The two of them were sitting at a plaza table. Rimuru was holding Chloe's hand.

"Chloe, are you all right?"

Chloe had a somewhat despondent look on her face. This was because she had seen Ciel with Shizu's body and it brought back many memories.

"....."

Chloe didn't answer and just stared at the ground dejectedly. Rimuru stood up and walked over to Chloe. He held both her hands and she stood up with a confused look on her face.

"Rimuru-san?"

Rimuru hugged her tightly and she widened her eyes in surprise. Rimuru continued hugging her and said.

"I... I don't want to see Chloe sad. That's the worst thing for me. So tell me anything I can do... Anything if it's about Shizu I'm sure we will see her again."

Chloe always supported him in his difficult moments and Rimuru thought it was his turn. This reminded Chloe that she had several people who cared about her and she didn't need to dwell on the past. She hugged Rimuru tightly.

"Thank you. I... I just want to stay like this a little longer."

They stayed hugged a little longer and then they sat on a bench in the square with Chloe on Rimuru's lap cuddled around his neck.

After a while Raphael came to call them.

"Rimuru-sama, we have gathered all the inhabitants. We want to know what our next destination is."

The destination Raphael was talking about was where to build their new city. They could not stay here, since the Gods knew their location and could attack. Rimuru went towards his group asking for some tips on places.

He went to the grass field where they were and only Sakura was not there.

"Guys do you know any place that the angels can build their new city?"

Some of them were thoughtful and the one who came up to speak was Tio.

"I think I know a place. They could go to the place where my clan is hiding."

"Is it really okay?"

Rimuru asked and Tio confirmed with her head, she thought it would be a great help if the gods found them. Rimuru called the archangels and Tio pointed out an island in the north for them. The only problem was how they would get there without being noticed by the gods.

At that moment one of the angels approached.

"I could camouflage us. Don't worry Rimuru-sama."

A woman with golden hair and wings and white clothes.

"Can you do that, Abadon-chan?"

Abadon had been revived because of the Ritual done by Ciel and turned into an angel again. No one held a grudge against her because they knew that Abadon was being controlled by Metatron.

Abadon nodded in agreement to Rimuru's question. Rimuru then decided that they had better leave as soon as possible and told them to go now. Rimuru was saying goodbye to the Archangels when Sariel approached.

"Ri...rimuru-sama. Err...I want to say something..."

Her cheeks were red and she was holding her hands to her chest as if hesitating.

"Yes?"

Sariel approached and said...

"I'm going to give you something and I want you to think about it until the next time we see each other, is that okay?"
