Unexpected Love

Chapter 1: Bickering

“Guy!! I swear it'll be fun! I mean, you're always lazing around here… so it would be nice if you mingle in activities from time to time..!” Milim insisted,

   “No.” Guy persisted, sipping in his coffee with clear indulging impatience from the dragonoid.

Why has it gone to this? Let's take a look back at the previous events.

-
“Uncle! Let's play! Just like last time at Walpurgis!”
“Huh? Very well then! I, The Storm Dragon Veldora shall have the honor of entertaining his niece!”

…

   「Milim Nava. Veldora Tempest. What went into your goddamn one brain cell head to destroy the literal structure for the tournament?」

Rimuru asked, arms crossed, amber golden eyes piercing at the two, the atmosphere of fury flooded both as they shiver in guilt, kindly yet quivering smiles as they try their way to calm Rimuru down.

  「If it weren't for Ramiris. I would have kicked you two in the butt. And Milim,」 

His gaze turned to Milim who audibly yelped at the gesture.

「I'm kicking you out of the Festival, and no food.」

This piqued Milim to the core, kicked out of the festival? Slowly, tears welled up in her eyes, her aura outbursts recklessly.

Rimuru sighed, glaring at the little demon lord as he thought for a moment. Feeling pity, he approached the dragonoid.

「I'm sorry…」

  「Milim,」 His voice gentle, the childish princess lowering her aura as she tearfully peeked at Rimuru, sniffing as Milim wiped her tears. 「You know, I'm still angry you didn't follow my simple rules.」

   「But, I suppose I'll give you a chance at compensation…” he sighed,

「Eh..?」

「I mean, you aren't the only one in trouble.」

「You'll be paying the expenses for further repairs and well, bring another guest to like.. babysit you so frey wouldn't have to deal with you 24/7. Sound good?」

Milim's face brightened immediately once she heard the deal, quickly altering her helpless demeanor to the usual enthusiastic character as she stood with confidence.

「Thank you bestiee!!! I'll pay for it no worries! With a guest as well too!」

And so she left.

-

   “Pretty, pretty please!!! With sugar on top? It'd be so much fun for you as well if you come to the festival anyway!! I don't even really ask for much from you… just this once?” Milim continued, pleading with her hands as if she was praying. Though, Guy didn't budge as his tolerance slowly began to reach its peak.

   “Milim, for god's sake, I like it here and it isn't my fault you wrecked the tournament arena that took months to build for the event. Find someone else.” Guy clarified with sarcasm in his voice,

Guy knew Milim well, he knew anything she asks for. The only available answer is ‘yes’, whether a favor or rather a demand.

The childish princess blinked cutely like a puppy in an attempt to pursue Guy's change of mind.

“Tch.. fine…”

Milim perked up in excitement, standing up with a beaming smile on her face.

“Really..?!” She boisted whilst shaking Guy rapidly in her enthusiasm,
