Tempest History [Tensura X Slime No Taoshite]

Treasure

"Ah, empress of ice, velzard-san! It is indeed a surprise seeing you here"

Rimuru said while politely greeting her

"Do you came alone? I don't see guy anywhere.."

Asked rimuru while inviting her for a little strolling around the town

"Yes, guy is so stubborn even though i invite him to come here with me"

Velzard said while wearing a tired expression on her face

"But...what surprise me is queen of sirens also show up here, i don't even remember when the last time sirens ever show up in public like this"

Velzard said while looking at ligeia direction who was in the restaurant enjoying her meal

"Hahaha, you see velzard-san, that 'trash' in the ocean is moving, so she has no choice"

Velzard who heard rimuru line know immediately what he mean by 'trash' and decided to ignore the matter, of course rimuru also don't expect that velzard will have any interest in those 'trash'

"Danna-sama!!"

Azusa voice ring loudly from rimuru's back, rimuru who saw azusa and his daughters with the kids just smile warmly at them

"...you have beautiful family rimuru-sama"

Velzard exclaim while having a hint of envy and loneliness in her beautiful eye

"They are my treasure.."

Rimuru responded to velzard with his beautiful smile and caught falfa who is jumping to hug him

'treasure....how wonderful' velzard thought while slowly backing down and observing rimuru and his family

"Hey you two! Slow down, you both gonna suffocate papa!"

"Nope~ i want hug papa as long as i can~"

"Mama, our papa our rules, we can do anything we like to papa right falfa?"

"Un!"

"Hey! That's my husband you talking about!"

"Don't say that shalsha, mama just jealous because she can't hug papa, am i right azusa?"

"E-eh? N-nonsense!"

"Well can't be help then, come here mama!"

"Me too! Me too!"

Then the twins kiss azusa on her cheeks, azusa just happily receive it and kiss both of them back

"What about me?"

Rimuru asked teasingly to which azusa just smile and kiss him in the cheek as well

Rimuru who noticed that velzard slowly back down from them turn to face her

"I hope you find your treasure too one day velzard-san"

Rimuru gently said with his charming smile

Velzard stopped her step and turn to rimuru, she just smile sweetly and say

"I already have one"

Then velzard dissapear leaving the snowflakes as her trait

Rimuru students on the other hand just looking at rimuru while smiling happily at the rimuru's family moment

Chloe of course included

'well...rimuru-san is safe and sound in this timeline, that mean i already done my wish to save him..'

Chloe mutter in her heart while forcing herself to continue the smile

'that's right....i should be happy that rimuru-san is now happy with his family, what else do i want? As long as rimuru-san is safe.....that's all that matter'

Chloe continue to mutter until she realised that tears began dropping to her cheeks, her smile that she is trying so hard to maintain is nowhere to be seen right now

<Rimuru-san is safe this time, we should be happy>

Chloe then heard a faint voice in her head, but she is too distract to notice it

'as long as rimuru-san live well and happy that's all i could ask for'

Chloe then wipe off her tears and continue to smile....even though it is very painful.
