Vampire and slime back in time [Indefinite Hiatus] [Rimuru X Luminous]

CH 15 | Moonlit Dinner.

~Luminous~

After Ouroboros killed the wolf leader before Rimuru ate him, then the both of us made the wolves submit, they entered the village borders, yet despite them being allowed to roam as they saw fit, they all huddled in one corner of the village.

'They did try to kill all of them, so it's no surprise if they would be ashamed of showing their faces, especially when the goblins are celebrating their victory on the dire wolves.'

And as for the goblins, they are celebrating their victory, while trying not to be very loud, to not hurt their new friends' feelings.

I was holding Rimuru between my arms as I was going around, looking at what the goblins had prepared. I was disappointed when I found out that they only had poorly cooked meat.

Luminous: "What is this? It's almost raw! Have you never cooked anything in your life before?"

Soon to be named Haruna: "We are sorry, Luminous-Sama. None of us has ever cooked anything, as we were afraid that their scent might attract strong monsters."

'Tch! I can't even argue that what they did was wrong!' Frustrated by their lack of skills and even more annoyed by the horrendous taste, she decided that if no one can cook, then she will do it!

Luminous: "*Sight* Tell me, what ingredients do you have? Any plants, spices, or fruits?"

STB (Soon to be) Haruna: " We have Garlion and Lettuge, and some sweet fruits, Luminous-sama."

At her answer, a small smile appeared on my face, having the chance to show her skills with something more than random meat and some grass.

Luminous: "That would be good."

Rimuru: "Are you going to cook, Luminous? If so, then I'm going with you as well."

the smile on my face grew slightly bigger, I was happy at his request and knew why he asked, I already accepted it in fact, but I decided that he needed a bit of teasing.

Luminous: "Ara~ why do you want to come? Do you perhaps just want to look at me?"

Slowly fighting my grip on him as I brought him closer to my face, making his embarrassment awfully clear.

Rimuru: "N-No. I'm just interested in cooking, and I would like to inspect you as you cook, maybe that way I could learn a thing or two."

'Cute' That was his response in my opinion, yet I couldn't just let him win this easily.

Luminous: "Really? Then was that why you always stared at me every time I cooked the past month? Or was it that you were so absorbed in my cooking that you get jolted when I call for you, even after I put the fire out?"

He's now right in front of my face, wriggling in his place. My smile grew with every word I said and with his actions, to the point it turned into a full-blown grin, with a small redness on my cheeks, which I fail to notice, the same can't be said for Rimuru.

Rimuru: "I give up! You are correct, I do stare at you every time you cook. But can you blame me? You are just too gorgeous! Especially when you're cooking."

Luminous: "No~ I can't blame you~"

What I didn't notice was that my grin covered my whole face and my blush became even bigger, despite me not feeling any kind of embarrassment. Something that, again, Rimuru caught on to.

Moving to the cooking area, I kept remembering Rimuru's human appearance, but unlike how she usually envisions him, sitting in opposition to her at a table with two plates on each side.
