Rimuru's POV

['We'll begin our second sponsor selection.']

The dokkaebi left us with those words before disappearing into nothing. Everyone murmured, some excited, some hopeful, and others down as if already knowing the outcome.

I could see the night sky, twinkling with stars and slowly heading toward the incarnations they wanted to support.

<Sponsor Selection>

- Choose your Constellation sponsor

- The chosen Constellation will be your reliable support.

Little stars danced above us before settling on top of the head of the incarnation they wanted to support. In other people's cases, they were lucky enough to have two or three constellations offering sponsorship. But, some individuals are a bit different... 

A great example of that would be Kim Dokja.

A multitude of constellations hovered above his form, indicating that many constellations wanted him. Man, I didn't know I have many competition. There were too many stars around his head to the point it looked like a Christmas tree without a tree. 

"Don't you think you're too early for Christmas?" I stared above his head, and I didn't even bother to count or else I'd fall asleep.

"Me? Take a look of yourself, trap." He retorted in a lighthearted manner.

I raised a brow at his words, a little confused before looking up. Then, I could see a whole galaxy spiraling over my head, highlighting the bluish color of my hair.

"Oh." was the only thing that I could say.

"Oh? That's it? There's a galaxy over your head, and you're just going to say, 'oh'?" Kim Dokja said in an iffily manner.

"You have a Christmas tree over your head, and you have the guts to ask me that?" I countered. 

Besides, who can blame me? I didn't have a choice but to say 'oh' or else say nothing, which would be impolite. But at least I said something.

...

Wow. I should've replaced the oh with the wow. I couldn't believe that many constellations were offering me sponsorship. I kept scrolling to see the last number of the sponsors, but with every upward swipe I did, it just caused my jaw to drop more.

The numbers were endless, or so what I have assumed. I gave up scrolling and went back to the top of the list. Now I finally understand Kim Dokja's reaction.

"Wow." I said it a bit late, but at least I said something.

[The Constellation, 'Lord of Catastrophic Storms' is saying that you should choose him.]
