A Return to School (TensuraxCote)

A New Major Corporation Is Born

Being outside the whiteroom is a great feeling.

The air conditioning inside the whiteroom feels nice and keeps the complex cool and comfortable, but the feeling of wind blowing through your hair and on your face is truly an amazing feeling.

Being outside in the air reminds me that the world truly is beautiful. After being in the whiteroom for so long I feel I may now have a slight disdain towards white walls. They are simply quite bland.

"Hey can I ask something? Do you actually wish for me to treat you guys as my parents or would that make you feel uncomfortable?" The childish mind does deeply affect the perception and growth of a person but I couldn't guess how Velda and Lucia felt about this situation.

"Rimuru-chan didn't I say this already? I am now your mother. I would like to be referred to as such even if you're adopted." Lucia looked back at me with a smile that didn't reach her eyes. I could almost feel as if a legendary weapon was to appear in her hands at any second.

"Yea Rimuru. No matter the circumstances before up until now as of this moment in this life we are taking the role of your parents. It would be nice to be treated as such. Of course I know you want to develop a company and make it into a corporation. I may not know the extent of your plans but I do know one thing. As of now and till you die you are my son. The past has nothing to do with the now." Velda looked back at me for a moment with a warm and welcoming smile.

"Thank you Velda, Lucia. No mom, dad. I look forward to the experiences life holds for us." I felt a smile form on my face and the look on Lucia's face as I smiled was one that spoke of motherly love and affection. I truly was lucky to have them and all the people around me.

"But Rimuru that also means if you get a partner I need to interrogate..*cough* I mean speak with them."

'Oh dear here we go. My partner in the future is screwed....hehe good luck whoever you are'

"By the way, even if you weren't worried about it, no we did not lose our son. He just so conveniently ended up inside of the whiteroom. Not thanks to a certain dear friend of ours." Lucia was speaking in a cryptic tongue leaving me slightly confused.

'Wait she mentioned the whiteroom...does that mean?!?'

"Heh. It's exactly as you think Rimuru. I truly do love the absolutely astonished and surprised face you are currently wearing. You are my biological son in this lifetime." Velda wore a smug smirk on his face.

'Damnnit Ciel...You contacted Velda and Lucia beforehand, no wonder you reacted so quickly when I joked about reviving him.'

"So what is my name going forward? You're my biological parents and now my second adoptive parents. I was born Rimuru with no surname. Then I was Rimuru Ayanokoji. But I am now also considered your successor and biological son. Am I Rimuru Nava? This is so confusing, why can't legal documents hold middle names here?"

"Rimuru Nava."

"Rimuru Nava, but I am technically registered as a foreigner but that makes 0 difference to you."

'Then why bother mentioning it?'

"Dear if it makes 0 difference why mention it?"

'Oh shit he's dead.'

"Hyphenated names exist but they're just not common. So I am Rimuru Nava and not Rimuru Ayanokoji-Nava."

"Yes that's correct Rimuru you're just Rimuru Nava. It was easy to have your name changed back to Rimuru Nava since I'm really good at arguing. But that doesn't take away from the fact that you are in a very weird situation."
