Vampire and slime back in time [Rimuru X Luminous]

CH 12 | Evolution and an unescapable past

~Rimuru~

I woke up, feeling confused and awfully tired. 'Aren't slimes supposed to be tireless?'

《It's because Master isn't a 【Slime】 But a 【Lesser Slime】》

'Ooh!! That explains it!'

 As I fully woke, I activated 【Magic Sense】 To see where I was, and what was the soft thing holding me. I found that that 'thing' was a pair of small, pale arms encompassing me.

 The first thing I then did was obviously greet the beautiful silver-haired queen in front of me. (Sounded hella simpy, but Rimuru sound's like a simp when describing girls)

Rimuru: "Good morning Luminous..... Wait! Weren't we fighting with that mutant serpent?"

She then explained to me how I defeated it and passed out.

Rimuru" Ah, I'm sorry if I made you worried"

I apologized because I thought that I might've gone a bit overboard. But, I was only met with a pout from her.

'Why is she pouting? But I have to admit, she looks CUTE!'

《I completely agree Master!.... Though, it could be cuter... *Chuckle*》

Great Sage replied with odd enthusiasm, and the second part left me confused, especially the small chuckle. But I decided to ignore it.

Luminous then blamed herself, saying that it was her fault for being weak. 'Why does hearing that make me somewhat feel painful?'

Rimuru: "Where is the corpse? I need to consume it so it won't go to waste"

'The meat would definitely help the goblins at the start since gathering food is hard for them.'

Luminous: "You did absorb it. But it looks like you were unconscious, which means that Grate Sage probably did it"

'Ah. Great Sage, did you absorb that snake when I was unconscious?'

I felt a part of my soul move, almost excited and proud.

《Yes Master! I thought that its skill and magicules would be helpful》

'Right! I forgot that I can acquire skills that way. So, what did I get?'

《The skills that Master got are:
【Thunder Transformation】
         ↳ Transform the user into many strings of thunder.

【Lightning Breath】
         ↳ Allows the user to shoot a highly destructive breath of lightning (different from 【Thunder Breath】

【Heat Sense】
          ↳ Allows the user to preserve the world by sensing the heat signatures around them》

'Wait, so now I can transform and move at high speed like that snake?'

《Yes》

'Great! And thank you, Great Sage'

Rimuru: "Yeah. She always helps me, even when I don't ask"

I couldn't help but get a bit emotional when I talk about Grate Sage, As no matter what I do, I couldn't repay her. But the odd thing was seeing Luminous' pouting face... Again.

She then started moving -Which was when I noticed that she was standing- Until we reached a very familiar lake.

Rimuru: "Ah! I remember this place! We are close to getting out!"

'We just need to pass this and meet Veldora!... But, how is Luminous going to pass through it? She always says that it's cold, so I don't think she could go through this lake..... Ah! I found it!'
