Rimuru x Rebuild World

Chapter 8 Rimuru and Sheryl.

After a few days after the fight, a girl named Sheryl is curled up in the alley.

She was a member of Sibea's gang but after Sibea and his dumb friends and others, the gang was disbanded and some of the leftover members joined the other gangs.

Sheryl is Sibea's favourite, she had a nice figure and despite her life in the slum city which cast a shadow on her beauty, she was still a beautiful girl.

Sheryl: "What should I do from now on... Just because I was in Sibea's gang, everyone doesn't want to have anything to do with me...!!"

Sibea is dead and the gang disbanded but that doesn't guarantee that Rimuru's revenge would just stop there.

Some Hunters were concerned with their safety and decided to thoroughly finish off their revenge targets.

Sheryl: "He saw me... He saw my face... Just what am I going to do?!"

Sheryl was more knowledgeable about how to survive in groups, she doesn't have any knowledge about surviving on her own.

She was able to skilfully ascertain and adjust her relationship with other people.

If she doesn't have the skill to do that, she would get attacked by another gang or be used as an expendable pawn for the benefit of her gang.

She spent her time thinking until the night came, but no good idea came up in her mind. The desperation mixed with sleepiness drove her mad.

All crazy ideas started to pop up inside her mind, but she rejected them and tried not to think about them. This cycle keeps happening inside her mind which had been dulled by fatigue and sleepiness.

◊◊◊

The next morning Sheryl woke up on the side of the alley inside the slum city.

Since she kept thinking of stupid ideas until she fell asleep, she already had some kind of plan in her mind.

'I'll be lying if I say that I'm not pushing this too far and the chance for success is not that high either. If I fail, I might even get killed. And even if it is a success, I don't know how long I can stay safe.'

Sheryl was hesitating or more like, she was lost on why the crazy ideas she thought last night looked like a valid choice to her. It had become a choice that she was willing to do and put her bet on.

Sheryl: "I guess I have no other choice... Now that it has come to this... That is my only chance."

With her new resolve, she goes to find Rimuru.

Rimuru POV

I should go to Shizuka first to buy ammo and magazines before going to the ruins. Might as well submit a few relics at the Exchange Centre.

After I take a bath, I'm on my way to the lower district where Shizuka's shop is located when I noticed that someone was following me the moment I stepped out from my Inn.

{Master, it's the girl that you spared a few days ago when you got attacked by the gang.}

Ah, it's about that huh? What do you think, Ciel?

{It's already predicted, master. I don't even need to use my calculations to know what she wants.}

Ahaha, well it's you after all. Well, let's ask her directly...

{Don't go overboard, master.}

'Wow, what does she think of me? I'm a gentleman with good manners, just watch.'

Rimuru: "Hey! Do you have any business with me?"

Sheryl: "I-I-I just want to talk."

Rimuru: "Talk? About what?"
