Tensura: The Slime and the Hybrid

Winter Memories

Blake: Ready Hakuro?

Hakuro: Ready.

Blake: Geld! Rigurd! Toss it!

The duo lifted up the massive Megalodon and chucked it towards Hakuro who stood in a ready postion with a hand on his blade hilt. When it got close, Hakuro dashed forwards with his katana unsheathed and slashed at it with two perfect slices.

When it landed, it sides split apart into two large fillets.

Gobta: Wow! You're amazing master!

Hakuro: Haha! Oh come now, it was a simple enough task.

While everyone cooked and ate the fish, Kurobe and the Dwarves were inspecting the scales I had manage to collect from Charybdis' body.

Kaijin: It's so light, but still very sturdy. This could be a very useful item.

Kurobe: Yeah, it'll be great for weapons.

Garm: Maybe even better as a shield! Heck, we might even be able to work it into some armor.

Dord: It's perfect for accessories too! I bet they'd sell for a lot!

As the night progressed, everyone celebrate with a massive feast from the plentiful meat the sharks had for all.

After a bit of feasting, some of us went to the hot springs to calm down and relax after a long day of grueling work for everyone.

Rimuru: Man, after a battle like that, I am one tired Slime.

Blake: Again, that's you're own fault.

Rimuru: By the way, You and Milim were great out there.

Milim: It was my pleasure! It was almost too easy, but feel free to keep praising me! I think you were amazing too Rimuru! You know, it's never too late to become a full fledge Demon Lord.

Rimuru: It's okay. I already said I wasn't interested. But, is there really any merit to being one?

Milim: What do you mean?

Rimuru: Like, why did you become one?

Milim: I wonder... did something bad happen?

She glanced at me in clear indication for me to explain, but I shook my head.

Blake: It's nothing you have to worry about. Let's just drop it.

Milim: But-

I pulled out a piece of chocolate and stuff it into her mouth, which instantly made her forget.

Blake: Like I said, let's move on.

Rimuru clearly saw I was intentionally avoiding the topic, but he figured a was a personal issue and so he dropped it.

Milim: Oh, I know a merit!

She quickly launched at Rimuru and held him up while standing, making me and Rimuru scream since now he body was revealed to all.  Thinking quickly, Rimuru used his Slime form to try and cover up her important parts from sticking out.

Milim: If I wasn't a Demon Lord, then I might have never become friends with you! Also, because of you, I got see Blake again!

Rimuru: True...

Everyone smiled at this little interaction.

Milim: This has all be fun, but I should probably get back to work.

Blake: ...What work?

Shuna: You mean right now?

Rimuru: Seems kind of sudden...
