Tensura: Rimuru Is a Girl (Translation)

Chapter 25: Dating in Ingrasia

Five weeks had passed since Veldora left Tempest. Souei had sent spies to all corners of other countries to search for Veldora, but they still hadn't found him. Diablo had gone to the underworld to recruit troops. Ramiris had started staying in Tempest, and I planned to hold a grand festival to celebrate the new leader of the Jura Forest.

After Walpurgis, I was appointed as the new leader of all the Jura Forests.

But...

I didn't want to have fun without Veldora.

Until a transmission came from the Demon Lord ring given to me by Guy at that time.

"Rimuru, one of my subordinates said that a man matching Veldora's description was found in Ingrasia."

*Badum.

I-Ingrasia?...

"Thank you, Ruminas. I'll head there immediately."

I quickly moved my legs, running out of the room and calling for Benimaru.

"Benimaru! For the next few days, please take care of Tempest."

"Rimuru-sama, what are you going to do? You seem in a hurry."

"I don't have time to explain. I'll update you on the situation if I get a chance." A teleportation circle appeared right under my feet, and Benimaru was gone.

Now I was on a hill near the entrance gate to the Ingrasia Kingdom.

I was wearing what could be described as a cream-colored jacket with four black buttons on the front, reaching above my thighs, with black jeans. A soft scarf was wrapped around my neck.

I then ran towards the gate to enter the kingdom.

Damn, there are so many people!

I had to stand on tiptoe to see the ever-lengthening line.

There were still a few people in front of me, and my feet tapped impatiently on the ground.

Finally, it was my turn.

Without wasting time, I immediately pulled out my adventurer card... After the attendant checked it and let me in.

I quickly ran into the kingdom... "Raphael, can you sense Veldora's presence?" I murmured, looking around.

<<......... No signs detected.>>

Damn... That dragon!

<<...>>

Don't worry, Raphael, you don't need to be sad. It's not your fault. You always exceed my expectations, so don't be too down.

"Are... Isn't that Rimuru-sensei?"

My head turned to see where the voice came from.

"!!! ... Tiss-sensei? What are you doing here?"

She raised her hand holding a basket.

"As usual, I was shopping for some ingredients for tonight." She replied with a smile and continued. "Oh, by the way... Aren't you with Aldiera-sensei?"

I didn't know how to respond. As a result, I spoke with a bitter smile. "Well... Actually, our relationship is not going well right now."

"Oh... I'm sorry. Are you looking for him now?"

"Yes, that's right, but I haven't seen her for the past five weeks."

"R-really!? ... But..." She placed her index finger on her chin as if remembering something.

"But...?"

"But three weeks ago, he started working again as a teacher at the Freedom Academy–"

My hand grabbed her shoulder, shaking it quickly. "Freedom Academy? The school for children? Is that true? Is she still there?"
