After Rimuru and Yoo Junghyuk's conversation ended. Rimuru went for a stroll, exploring the station while avoiding the Landlord alliance. He also went to help some people who survived, even though they werent that many, he still gave them more food enough to fill a bag.
Rimuru was being proud of himself, yet he kept being humble and use honorifics to the strangers he helped. He kept doing this, despite his rations going low, because of the coins that keep popping on his screen everytime he show some kindness to others. Most of them are from the Constellations of the absolute good, and Rimuru was very grateful for it.
Once he was done, he went back to the group, and the others seemed to do something. When he announced his presence, the others greeted him. It went for a few minutes for them to stop until both Kim Dokja and Rimuru were now alone.
"Where did they go?, Are you up to something?"
Rimuru asked, curious of what was going on. The others were there to greet him, but Lee Hyunsung wasn't there. He thought that Lee Hyunsung was the focus of this scheme they're doing.
"I told them to encourage Lee Hyunsung"
Kim Dokja answered quick. While looking at the direction where the others left.
"For what reason?"
"So he's attribute can blossom"
Kim Dokja faced Rimuru, and met his gaze. Again, it was the same thing again. Everytime he looks at those eyes, he gets distracted. As if there's something pulling his attention towards Rimuru.
"I also want to say thank you for saving me." Kim Dokja broke out from the distraction.
"It was nothing, I only did what needs to be done." Rimuru smiled, reaching his hands to Kim Dokja for a handshake.
Kim Dokja also smiled, seeing Rimuru's smile made his heart flutter, so he accepted the handshake without thinking.
It was a long handshake, Kim Dokja was being nervous because Rimuru didn't let go of his hand. He started thinking about things that is far from reality. Until a notification popped in his screen.
[The incarnation 'Han Rimuru' has given you the skill 'Water Blade lvl.1'.]
Kim Dokja got surprised, seeing the screen in front of him. He's gaze landing on Rimuru, who had kept his smile.
"This was part of the contract wasn't it?, It isn't really that much, but I hope it will help you"
Rimuru snorted, finally letting go of Kim Dokja's hand and walked away.
Kim Dokja could only stare at him with wide eyes. After Rimuru left and went to Lee Hyunsung, Kim Dokja tested his new skill with his unbreakable faith. He tried to look for a target and found a large debris from the floor that was shattered by Rimuru and Junghyuk's impact.
Kim Dokja stanced himself, gripping the swords handle while the sword was still unsheathed.
[The skill 'Water Blade lvl.1' has been activated.]
Kim Dokja's sword sheathed as he swing it towards his front, a blue color glow escaped from the sword and forming a cresent shape water, flying towards the large debris with a swift speed, and finally cutting it to half.
The move he made was strong, that even the wall behind the debris left a scar. It was like a typical samurai finishing move he could only see at movies.
Silence enveloped the whole area. Kim Dokja could only stare at disbelief. Even though the skill was at level 1, the output didn't convince him. It was supposed to be at 3 or more, but imagining the skill at level 10, it would be really dangerous.
'it wasn't really that much?!, Rimuru are you kidding me?!'
A clap broke the silence in the whole area. Kim Dokja turned around and found the source of that sound, it was Lee Jihye.
He could see her mouth wide open while she still clapped her hands.
"Ajusshi!, How did you do that!?" Lee Jihye walked towards Kim Dokja.
"Uhh... I just swung my sword?" Kim Dokja answered. It was obvious that he was lying with that face. Lee jihye didn't believe him.
"That's obviously a lie, but.. are you really that strong?, Are you strong enough to beat master?? Or that girl??." More questions from Lee jihye followed from one to another. Kim Dokja couldn't help but back away.
"Stop!. Stop!. I can't give you an answer if you ask more!." Kim Dokja exclaimed loudly.
After a long interview which Kim Dokja faked his answers. He started to reveal his plans to destroy the landlord alliance.
Meanwhile...
Rimuru was walking towards Lee Hyunsung, after a short briefing with the group, he finally understood what to do. Great Sage also instructed him what to do first.
Lee Hyunsung noticed Rimuru walking towards him, so he smiled.
"Rimuru, youre back" Lee Hyunsung greeted him first.
"Yeah, I just came back a little while ago and I came to see you first." Rimuru sat beside Lee Hyunsung.
"Why me?" Lee Hyunsung asked in wonder. He felt like he was special because Rimuru came to see him first, because of that his mood was lightened. If only he knows that it was lie, he wouldn't have that expression on his face.
"Because you worked hard today and yesterday, without getting a proper rest"
Rimuru smiled a little.
"No.., that's not true.., compared to what you did for us, I merely did anything " Lee Hyunsung mood lessened.
"Don't say that, you still protected the others with all your might. During our travel, Everytime monsters slip out of my sight, you came forward to protect the group, so you shouldn't understimate yourself. I'm very glad that you're with us too, so if the time comes that I wont be around, I want you to protect the others. Is that okay?"
Lee Hyunsung was embarassed, but his expression turned to worry after hearing that Rimuru will entrust the group's safety to him. His heart started to beat faster than normal, thinking of what might happen if he failed.
"W-Why me?.., do you really trust me that much?.." Lee Hyunsung couldn't help but question Rimuru.
"Yes.., I trust you from the bottom of my heart. Seeing on how dependable person you are, I truly believe that you are capable of something that others can't easily do" Rimuru held his chest, where his human heart beated.
Lee Hyunsung's mood went up high, hearing that someone trust him this much made his day. Yet he still have doubts and worries.
"I can't protect the others while fighting in the front lines and sometimes I can't protect myself, but with you here, I feel very protected, the others might also feel the same. That's why I'm asking you.., can you protect them?" Rimuru asked with a smile.
Lee Hyunsung could only accept it, someone trusted him this much that even the safety of others were entrusted to him. He felt very dependable, he could now feel the power he was waiting for.
Rimuru and Lee Hyunsung exchange goodbyes. The blue haired was now gone, leaving Lee Hyunsung behind, sitting at the floor.
'a little bit of patience, and I'll finally get the power to protect them!'
Lee Hyunsung clenched his fist, he was full of determination. His attribute was ready to blossom, but he kept his patience because he felt like it still wasn't the time.
He could only imagine, what power he would get after his attribute blossomed.

Rimuru was walking around the corner, he left the others after talking to Lee Hyunsung.
He recalled some of the words he said.
'If the time comes I won't be around....'
That sentence placed him in a deep thought.
'if that time comes...
I hope they......'
