"My Destined One" • Tensura x Arifureta

Ch 66: Imperial Castle - Part 1

The sun was about to rise, and a few minutes before the eastern sky began to lighten, two figures sat on the rock. It was Rimuru and Chloe who woke up early. By the way, only Rimuru was sitting on the rock, and Chloe was sitting on his lap.

The people next to them from the observation spot were already asleep, where they were sitting was also a blind spot, the two happily enjoying their first time of silence together in a long time.

And, at that time, Chloe who was resting her head on Rimuru's shoulder slowly looked up at him, without warning, she kissed Rimuru's neck.

There was a cute sucking sound, the morning silence fluttering briefly.

"...What's wrong, all of a sudden?"Rimuru ask

"I don't know why but I'm remembering something from last night."

What happened last night that Chloe mentioned was the conversation about taking down the imperial castle.

But, why is that, what was the meaning of that kiss, in response to Chloe's gentle gaze, Rimuru was confused.

"Instead of the Great Labyrinth, you and Hajime prioritize Shia and the Rabbit people. I'm glad you treasure Them as Friends. I'm happy that the number of people important to Rimuru-san has increased even more. And You are slowly returning to your old self. and Because of that happiness overflows and because of that... I suddenly want to kiss you."

When Chloe said that, she simultaneously placed a kiss on Rimuru's cheek.

After a few minutes, Chloe Speak to Rimuru.

"So she really is Sensei after all ?"Chloe ask Rimuru

"Yeah, I'm pretty sure of it we just need to wait for her memories to come back."

"...Mu~, it's fine to add Akame-chan too you know," Chloe said to Rimuru

In response, Rimuru gives a Confusing look to what Chloe just said.

"What are you talking About Chloe? surely Akame Don't have any feeling for me you know"

"Well I doubt that"

Chloe's expression was mixed between happiness and Doubt.

For Chloe, Shizue was the first friend and Teacher she met after Being Summon, she was her comrade, a friend a love rival but most importantly a family, she knows that Rimuru will be even happier when she came back and she knows That the big hole That's on Rimuru's heart will Heal and she also knows that More Girls will Be on Rimuru side by the end of this journey for her No matter How many girls Rimuru had as a wife as long as They Keep Rimuru happy then she is fine with that since she knows that Rimuru will Make them Happy in return.

So, she was happy because of the words Rimuru faithfully said, but she was also a bit confused that Rimuru dint Realize Akame's Feelings and actions.

So, in the first place, in order not to think about this matter anymore, Rimuru attacked Chloe's lips without asking back.

"N~ .....N~, A~ mu~u... Rimu~..... N~"

The eastern sky began to lighten little by little, it gradually created a dark shadow behind the two. The perfectly entwined shadows parted from time to time but quickly entwined again, because of that, the ecstatic sound resounded.

Chloe's eyes were moist with enchantment, her cheeks were rosy, and her lips were shining with glitter.

Exactly as Rimuru intended. And, the movement of the two as if it was natural, continued… they started to hear a person's voice from the other side of the rock, where Rimuru was going to do it.
