Perfected Tempest

12. A Bar Fight With a New Look

Rimuru's POV

After my discussion with Ciel I stayed with her for a while. I didn't have a choice since she laid on me when she went to sleep in relief while I was still under her. I've never seen her sleep so I decided to wait and savor the rare occasion. When she did eventually wake up I gave her a kiss on the head and said good morning to her. Her face turning red was priceless to me.

Rimuru- "I hope you enjoyed the nap you took Ciel. It should help you understand why I have such a hard time giving it up."

Ciel- "I left parallel processing on so I still was awake just a separate self of mine dear. But it was a wonderful experience where it feels as if time moves forward while you stay still. It's a humbling experience for me. It also helped all of my muscles even if artificial relax all at once which was hard to do normally so I learned something too." (I also got to sleep with you dear. Another thing off the checklist for me.)

She seemed pleased to have acquired new knowledge and a unique experience all at once. I'm happy that she is enjoying these small moments just as I do.

Rimuru- "So shall we go down and eat together then?"

Ciel- "I would love to dear but we need a disguise."

Rimuru- "Hmm should we decide our new looks then? We have the spare time."

Ciel- "Sure dear I would love too."

So we made two clones in front of us and started to change their looks together,(mostly because I needed her help to do it.) In the end we both didn't change very much about our looks. She didn't since she said my original look was almost perfect anyways, all she did was change the bust sizes and the height a little. Now she's a bit shorter and as a modest figure but her face remained the same. I of course tried to make mine just look more like a man as much as I could. I now had broader shoulders and shorter hair, along with changing my face to resemble my first attempt at changing my clone's appearance to male long ago.(when he first ate shizu) It was alright but it didn't feel right so I decided to hold it for later and go with what I had for now.

Rimuru- "So shall we go now."

Ciel- "Sure dear I wish to experience why you love food so much next."

So we both went down stairs and got a table to eat at, after a while we got our food and we made small talk as we ate when a small commotion happened. It seemed to start when a vampire guard asked for blood from a local as was required in the country for tax instead of money. But she seemed to have already had given her blood dose for the month so she declined the request for that reason. Stating that her body had yet to make enough blood yet for another donation. I looked and she still had the bite mark from the last one as she said, but it seemed the low rank vampire just liked her blood more than most people's so he chose to make her give more again. Others tried to say they would give instead since they were able but he was adamant in just her blood. I heard other guards coming to the seen but before they did a man stood up from the counter and turned around after the vampire grabbed the girl.

Man- "I don't think she likes being touched."

He had a surprisingly calm voice for the situation he was in. Everyone else stopped talking as they saw him walk towards the guard with a poorly made metal cup in his had. After getting nearby but not too close he stopped near a table. As that happened the other guards came in and asked what was going on.

Guard 1- "This woman is to donate blood but has refused to do so and this man has asked me to let her go."

Guard 2- "That so? They trying to live here without even paying the fee for doing so. Then they both are to be taken and bleed dry for disobeying the rules."
