Tensura: Rimuru Is a Girl (Translation)

Chapter 31: Women's talk?

In this room, Velzard and I chatted about trivial matters. With giggles, Velzard recounted a funny incident where she accidentally killed Veldora with one of her punches.

"H-Haha... I don't know how to react to this 'funny' story Velzard is telling."

Eventually, she talked about her past, how she met Guy, and how they had been residing in the icy North for over 10,000 years together.

Ugh... 10,000? Did I hear that correctly? Even now, she's over 20,000 years old. This confirms that she's much older and more mature than Veldora, who is only 2,000 years old. And here I am calling him 'old man.' Should I call Velzard 'old woman' instead?

Haha, just thinking about it gives me the chills.

But I'm curious why she hasn't gotten bored staying with Guy all this time. Could it be...

"You like Guy?"

"Bufffttttt"

She spat out the tea she was drinking, her face turning red, and her hands trembling, causing some of the tea to spill. Velzard denied my accusation.

"W-W-W-What do you mean? I-I don't understand."

She turned away, trying to drink the tea again calmly, but the cup in her hand shook, spilling more tea.

From any angle, it was clear that she did have feelings for him. Her behavior showed she has stayed with him for over 10,000 years without getting bored.

But I'm sure Guy isn't that kind of person. Maybe it's unrequited love.

Close but distant... Anjayy...

Guy is serious and cold. He wouldn't think about love because, to him, it's just a waste of time. It's clear from his attitude.

"It's obvious you like him. What if someone else takes him away without your knowledge?"

*Crash*

The cup she was holding shattered into pieces. Her gaze no longer showed cuteness but was instead very frightening. Her face was cold with veins protruding on her forehead. The room became cold in an instant.

"It's just a hypothetical! Just a hypothetical! Don't mind what I said!"

I tried to calm her down with all my might, and she eventually managed to regain her composure. I don't want Tempest to become an ice continent too!

It seems I touched on a taboo subject here.

Look...

...

...

This situation is really awkward!

"Isn't it better to follow your heart?" I said to her with a smile, trying to get out of this awkward situation.

She flinched slightly at my words, her head bowing, as she stroked her hand resting on her thigh.

"I-I did intend to do it, but... what if he doesn't accept me."

Ugh...

"What are you saying? Stop joking, you're not like yourself." Those are the words Guy might say. That's just my prediction since I've only met him a few times. I don't know Guy that well.
