**Sret sret sret**

The room is silent, with no conversation, only the sound of a pen and paper continually rubbing against each other. Here I am, once again working on my daily tasks. Filling out numerous documents, dealing with Tempest's financial issues, railway management, cooperation with other countries, problems big and small, and many more things I can't explain one by one.

With a pink-haired angel who always faithfully accompanies me every moment. No, she monitors my every move. After it was discovered that I had lied to Shuna, she will personally stay in this room as long as I am working on all these documents.

Just look at her... Her smile is so intimidating when I glance at her slightly. Standing right beside me, without loosening her surveillance. Meanwhile, Veldora is lounging on the sofa in front of me, reading manga and eating the food that should have been mine.

**Sret sret sret**

I might die from my hand that endlessly writes words on paper.

"Shuna... Can I take a break?" I asked her with slight irritation.

"Hm?"

"No, I'll continue with my work."

And finally, after such a long time, it's come to this!

My work is finished! All the documents have been completed with the high spirits soaring from my body. No, not with enthusiasm. But with Shuna's sweet smile that has always accompanied me while I worked, never shifting her gaze.

I stretched before getting up from the chair.

"Finally... Everything is done. I have two weeks to rest, right?"

"Thank you for your hard work, Rimuru-sama. Yes, for the next two weeks you can rest."

For some reason, Shuna now seems like a real angel. Her smile is no longer threatening but warm and gentle on her beautiful face.

"Finished?"

Tsk, I want to slap this annoying dragon. After lying around enjoying manga and food for so long, that's the first thing you say?

"Didn't you see?"

"Yes, yes, sorry. I just wanted to ask."

"Nyenyenye."

This dragon is really good at changing one's mood. I got up from sitting and walked towards Veldora.

"Finally, I can relax too."

My back leaned against the sofa with Veldora beside me. Fortunately, the food on the table wasn't finished. If it were, I would have kicked Veldora out of Tempest, turning him into a wandering dragon.

There are still some cakes and cookies on the plate, with a bowl of tea and a cup.

I was about to enjoy all of that.

Pluk

Veldora's head was already on my lap. He didn't care about my reaction now. His gaze was solely focused on the manga he was holding in both hands.

But... It's very warm. I feel comfortable with Veldora being pampered in front of me. Especially with his soft hair when I stroke it. He's quite handsome when he doesn't talk much.

"What are you laughing at?"

Veldora slightly tilted his head just to look at me.

"Nothing."

Veldora, who is sometimes annoying, but also makes me very comfortable. But the comfort is only 40%, and the annoying part is 60%.

He continued reading, ignoring my giggles. How long have we been together? If we say together... It's been quite a while, around 2 years or so...
