Chapter 32: Nuance of Peace

Rimuru's POV

I'm currently in the air, flying towards the Yongsan-Gu area to find Gilyoung and Donghoon. My wings flapped heavily, yet they were silent. I was starting to think that I might be an owl. 

As I flew with great speed, I encountered some flying monsters. They weren't even a bother, considering how I easily killed them by punching their guts with my human hands. Punching on something for a while was refreshing, but I frowned after seeing my knuckles covered in monster blood.

'Ew!' I immediately shook my hand to remove the monster blood from my hands. Just like that, I was able to fly, pass through the Han River, and finally arrive at Yongsan-Gu. I could see the cityscape erecting high and tall, although I could see its wall's cracks and windows shattered.

I admired it for a while, then I smoothly landed on the ground. I disabled my [Mimicry] and my wings disappeared magically. Now, I won't get asked about being a demon, right?

As I wandered around the area, the ground suddenly shook. I remember this feeling, and I immediately run towards the source. Considering how the ground shook repeatedly, someone or something giant must be walking around. 

It wasn't long enough for me to see a giant praying mantis' head peeking through the alley. I halted once the mantis and I made contact. Then, I heard a voice.

"Rimuru Hyung?" Lee Gilyoung revealed himself on top of the giant praying mantis, and Han Donghoon followed. Then, both of their faces brightened, although Donghoon tried to hide it by looking away.

"Guys!" I immediately ran to them with a smile on my face. The giant mantis lowered its head, and then Han Donghoon and Lee Gilyoung hopped off on the ground. The brown haired boy, Lee Gilyoung, rushed to my waist and hugged me tightly.

"You miss me this much?" I asked as I caressed his hair, his face buried in my chest. The brown haired boy just nodded and hummed in response.

I didn't know Gilyoung would be this clingy...

I don't hate it, though. Perhaps I've wanted more. I looked at Donghoon, standing a bit distant, and I noticed him looking away and his fingers fidgeting on the phone.

What a shy guy.

I tried to tease him about hugging me, but he just denied it and shook his head vigorously. Then it reminded me that I, right now, am the same age as him. We're both still 17, though I'm probably around 30+ inside.
