Tensura: Rimuru Is a Girl (Translation)

Chapter 24: A tough day.

I kept glancing back and forth between Guy and Veldora. The other demon lords also had tense expressions; the aura they both emitted was immense. Ramiris, worried, was biting her nails behind Milim's head.

The atmosphere in the room was extremely tense... Veldora's gaze was still sharply fixed on Guy's eyes.

I don't know what this fool is doing.

But please don't fight over me; there are plenty of beautiful women in this world. Eh!!! What am I saying! This isn't the time for jokes. This could turn into a disaster!

My right hand gripped Veldora's hand, which was holding Guy's hand. My left hand was also restraining Guy's hand held by Veldora.

"Wait, wait..." I stood up and looked at Veldora. "Veldora, please release your hand."

He stared at me silently for a moment before releasing his grip on Guy's hand. "Guy-san, I'll think of a name for the demon lord, so please calm down." I looked back and forth between them anxiously... The other demon lords also appeared very tense seeing us.

Finally, Guy pulled his hand back and slowly walked to his seat. "Alright, I won't make a fuss about this..."

Thank goodness nothing further happened, and as for that old man! I glared at Veldora fiercely!

The other demon lords also sighed in relief, glad that there was no further argument.

I'll give him a piece of my mind when we get home. But he ignored my glare and just went back to his seat prepared by the attendants and started reading manga!

Old man! Do you realize the trouble you've caused if Guy considers me an enemy? It's all over! Reluctantly, I had to come up with a name for the demon lords.

Since tonight was a beautiful night with many stars, the name 'Octagram' came to my mind. The demon lords didn't mind the name at all; in fact, they were pleased. They thought 'Octagram' sounded very cool.

After the meeting ended, Veldora, Milim, Ramiris, and I... went out through a door and arrived at a forest near Tempest.

*CRASH!!!

Without a word, I immediately delivered a punch to Veldora's head.

"What are you doing, Rimuru!" He shouted angrily at me.

"Do you know what you did at the meeting earlier?" I yelled back at him, equally furious.

"Do you know that your actions could lead to a conflict between Tempest and Guy!" I added, shouting right in his face. "What if he gets angry and plans to destroy Tempest!"

Everyone who witnessed our argument only watched us with concern. Milim was glancing back and forth between me and Veldora, Ramiris was still biting her lip, and Shion and Ranga didn't know what to do.

Everyone was silent, not daring to speak.

This isn't like my previous anger towards Veldora. I'm really mad at him now.

Veldora's hand clenched tightly, his anger evident in his eyes. His teeth were grinding in frustration.

"Rimuru! Listen to me—"

"That's why I didn't want to bring you! You must have wanted to show off in front of all the demon lords!!! Hoping that they would—"

He flew off, still shouting at me.

"I DID THAT FOR YOU! YOU LOWLY SLIME!"

"GO AWAY, YOU FOOLISH DRAGON! I DON'T CARE!"

And his figure disappeared from sight... "I don't care where you go!!!"
