Tensura: Rimuru Is a Girl (Translation)

Chapter 30: the arrival of the True Dragon.

The day for the tournament had concluded, and Diablo had also brought his own troops—Testarossa, Carrera, and Ultima. I'm sure they are high-ranking demons like Diablo. Although there were some issues during the tournament, everything has been resolved.

In this large room, many nobles from the kingdoms of Blumund, Sarion, and Dwargon are present. We're holding a party to celebrate the success of the Tempest Festival. Among the Demon Lords present are Milim with her subordinates, Ramiris, and Ruminas.

(I forgot which Demon Lords are attending. If you want to add to this, just comment.)

I didn't expect Guy to come here. He is currently in his room. Therefore, after the party had been going on for a while, I asked for permission to leave and immediately went to Guy's room. I couldn't make Guy wait too long.

But when we met earlier, he seemed to be enjoying the festival quite a bit.

I slowly opened the door and brought Veldora with me. It seems he isn't too fond of me meeting Guy personally, so I only agreed to it reluctantly.

Inside, Guy was sitting on a chair with his legs crossed, holding a glass of wine.

"Yo, you finally came, Rimuru."

Of course, I gave Guy the best room to stay in. It was a VIP room, so I thought he would enjoy the beauty of the room. And also... There was a woman sitting next to him.

Who is she?

No! I have to respond to Guy's greeting.

As if the world had become silent, my eyes were fixed on the woman sitting gracefully next to Guy. My mouth slightly opened to speak but then closed again. My hands trembled, and my steps became heavier as I approached her.

Why?

What is this feeling?

As if unaware of what was happening, the woman remained still, confused by my actions. Until I was right in front of her. I could feel my eyes starting to water, my hands trembling as I gently touched her cheek.

Why? It's my first time meeting her, so why am I doing this?

This feeling of relief and pleasure—why did it appear suddenly?

Finally, my palm touched her soft cheek. I couldn't help but smile as I looked at her, with a few tears slowly streaming down my face. She seemed a bit surprised by my actions but then slowly raised her hand and grasped mine, which was on her cheek.

Perhaps she didn't understand what was happening either, why was she doing this? She wondered.

But clearly, between this woman and me, we both felt a very comfortable connection with each other.

"Rimuru!"

Veldora's call snapped me out of this very complicated situation. I stared at him dazedly and then back and forth between the woman and Guy. Guy had a confused expression due to my behavior, his eyebrows slightly raised as he looked at me with curiosity.

I quickly pulled my hand away from her cheek. This situation was truly a mess. I turned my back to Guy and the woman next to him and quickly wiped away the tears that had come out for no apparent reason. The more I realized it, the more strange I felt. I was crying without knowing why.

I straightened my clothes, even though they weren't really messy. Perhaps this was what being flustered meant. Actually, I just needed to wipe away my tears. I turned back and looked at Guy with a friendly smile and then at the woman.

"I'm truly sorry for my rudeness earlier."

Guy just rolled his eyes and fiddled with the glass of wine he was holding, uninterested.
