(spoiler warnings for vol 12 of the lightnovel for Tensei slime) Danmachi x TSSDK
A country loses its king, and another gains a final boss.
Having died in the war with the eastern empire Rimuru finds himself in a completely unknown structure. with...
I paused for a moment as I took a moment to stare into her eyes, no longer distant, but now sharpened and focused on me. She grabbed her tea cup and took a sip.
"...May I ask why you need strength?"
Her brows drew together and her gaze dropped to the warm cup in her hands as silence grew.
After a moment I retracted my words and we fell back into a comfortable silence, eating snacks.
"What about you? Why are you with Rimuru?" Aiz was the one to break the silence this time.
"Why am I with Rimuru?" It was a difficult question for me to answer for several reasons. Holding my tongue was one way to go about this, in fact it could be said to be the correct option given my situation...yet, "I think it's because Rimuru has nowhere else to go right now." I say. "He isn't the type to go it alone, so we stick together, because it's easier that way."
Aiz looks like she's thinking over my answer to that question for a moment.
"Easier...is it easier for you? To deal with all of this?"
I tilt my head slightly at this. "I don't mind," I said.
Aiz's mouth hangs open ever so slightly as her eyes sharpen upon me.
Perhaps my response was strange?
"Obviously, any normal person would've left him alone a long time ago." Ava offered her two cents which as much as I'd like to ignore I couldn't help but stop at.
"Hmmm," I began to think about everything that's occurred since I met Rimuru and I realized that yeah, things certainly got more lively once I met him. Rimuru himself didn't act that chaotic, but almost like he was a magnet for it threw the world into disarray. Me included.
I was used to getting tossed around though so I don't think I noticed it at all. But what was more surprising in regards to Rimuru was probably his attitude.
Because despite throwing the world around him into such chaos...he was more akin to someone like me than to either Aiz or someone like bell.
If we're being realistic here, people like Bell and Aiz were the adventurers who succeeded and changed everything. Ambitious and hardworking willing to do all that it takes to achieve their goals.
These people couldn't help but wrap the world up in their legendary stories and epic tales. They were heroes.
But Rimuru was a sort of monster who despite wanting nothing and trying to live peacefully, managed to throw the world into chaos.
If Rimuru was fundamentally similar to a type of person it was me more so than them...but his effect on the world around him was far more akin to them.
Perhaps that's just how it is when you're strong.
Yeah... when I put it like that I suppose it makes sense. Rimuru, Bell and Aiz were fundamentally strong people.
Their very presence shaped the world around them. me...I was just lucky to catch one of their orbits.
"That'd explain that too," I found myself mumbling to myself.
"?" Aiz tilted her head in confusion at the words I let slip.
I just shook my head. "You really are strong." I said as I closed my eyes. Somehow I felt as though that just made her more confused, but that was fine. I gained a little bit out of this conversation, and lost a little bit.
In any case, this sparse conversation continued for a little but. Eventually we fell into silence after I offered her a book to read and pass the time (it seemed as though she appreciated fairytales). I began to clean up the house a little bit.
It was a peaceful sunny day. Nothing extreme or extraordinary.
A day in which Rimuru was off and Aiz Wallenstien sat on my couch reading a children's fairytale.
As I worked I took a breath and an image of Rimuru came to my mind.
Even among a similar type I suppose I'm exceptionally weak.
(A/N:
Me before school starts: alright, so things shouldn't be too bad I have a college course so the work may not let me upload for as long as I have the class but that's only like 8 weeks it shouldn't be that bad-
School preparing to give me more homework then almost every other year combined despite the fact I have 1 less class than every previous years as well as PE which is a throw away class in terms of homework on top of 5 separate projects and 4 separate finals on finals week because whoever told me senior year was the easiest was just fucking lying I guess:

sorry.
But well I'm back now so let's see how many more chapters I make before I return to the cave for the next few months.
If you liked the chapter than pls vote so I can get that wattpad clout and if you didn't pls explain in great detail why I'm a horrible writer and should never cook again (preferably in MLA format with citations).
