The New Story - That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime!

Chapter 10 - Brother and Partner... or more?

"Oh yeah Rimuru (fake cough) ... I see, so Rimuru is my brother's successor? and Ciel is his former bearer of his Wife's Will or something?" Veldora come back to his sense and ask to confirm what he heard before

"Yes, that's right Veldora" I answer him after composing myself before

"Are you two fated to become one or something? Like my brother and his wife?" Veldora asks without a moment of hesitation, a question that intrigues him the most after hearing our introduction before... but...

H-Hey... V-Veldora... what just you asked?

Fated!? To become one!!? Like Veldanava and Lucia!!??

I-I-I... can't deny the possibility... but... but... I was just born to Master because he desired me...

I-It is still counts? ... I-I don't know... m-maybe no... m-maybe yes

"Ah- n-no... y-yes... m-maybe... I-I can't deny it" Master also can't come up with an undefinite answer. He averting his gaze from Veldora and me with a red face

"..." I consumed by embarrassment also did the same

"So?" Veldora didn't understand what's happening, ask once again to us

"..." Master didn't respond

"..." Neither of us let out any voice of answer to Veldora's question

"Oh, I understand..." after seeing our reaction thoroughly. Veldora gesturing hitting his palm hand with his other fist vertically, gesturing that he understands

"Then, I hope you two become one like Brother Veldanava and his wife, Lucia, someday. Kuahahaha" he said cheerfully, wishing for both of us to...

B-Become one like Veldanava and Lucia... w-what do you mean by that!!??

Do you mean that 'relationship'...? That's... That's...

T-Too Much!!...

But... I... I...

"Eh!!?? V-Veldora... T-That's... T-That's..." hearing Veldora wish for both of us. Master came back to his sense, wanted to rebut...... but he can't... his face just painted with crimson red and his voice can't escape from his mouth...

"Kuahahaha, now now Rimuru, you don't need to be that shy... I as your sworn friend, understand very much what's happening. Right Ciel?" Veldora just ignoring Master, and change his attention to me

"..." I just looking away with a red face from him and didn't respond with anything

"You too, just a shy girl, Kuahahaha" seeing my reaction, Veldora just laughing it off.

Then after some time of silence, Veldora broke the ice with another question...

"Oh yeah, by the way, what's happening to them? Don't tell me, they..." Veldora realizing that he didn't ask his brother's condition before. So, he asks with sorrow tone... but...

"Ah- no Veldora, they're fine. They both now live happily together inside us, in a special corner of this [Imaginary Space]. But they can't leave that place, so they can't come back to Material World" before Veldora finishing his sentence. Master immediately answers his question about Veldanava and Lucia condition right now to reassure him

"Oh so... I'm glad they're fine, especially if they with you two. Hmm? Oh yeah, Rimuru, Ciel, you two didn't tell me how you have that such connection with them. So, what's actually happened?" Veldora was relieved to hear that they're fine. But asks another question about us. Though...
