Rimuru's Journey For His Beloved(Arifureta From Common Place to World Strongest)

Moonlight Talks

The orcus dungeon is one of the great dungueons located around the world

This dungeon is a large labyrinth that consisted of 100 levels, the way the labryinth worked was the lower you go the stronger the monster get

This dungeon is accually a very popular place for mercenaries and adventurers. This place is also a great training ground for recruits.

This is because it was easy to measure the strength of the monsters by the dungeon level. The monsters also have better quality magic stone than the monsters in the wilderness(bassically like ramiris's labyrinth)

If you don't know what a magic stone is, it's bassically a core of a monster and it is this that provides them with powers. The bigger and better quality the stone, the stronger the monster is

Anyways the students and meld arrived at an inn close to the dungeon's entrance. They were going to rest there first before entering it the next day

All the rooms were designed for two people, and for hajime he was sharing a room with his brother, while kaori and shizuku shares a room aswell

At night rimuru left their room to go visit shizuku while kaori also left her room to visit nagumo. Because of this the two was alone

◇◇◇◇◇◇◇

Knock knock knock

"Shizuku it's me, can i come in?" I asked

"Huh? I- um i mean sure yeah" shizuku replied a bit flustered

"Your alone? I thought everyone was sharing a room"

"What? No im not alone, kaori is my roommate"

"Ah, well im sharing a room with hajime too"

"Anyways, where's kaori?" I asked

"She left a few moments ago, she said she was gonna visit nagumo really quickly"

"Ahh i see"

"...."

There was an awkward pause because they didn't know what to do in this situation. They were both alone in the same room so of course both of them was feeling a little nervous

"Sooo, what are you doing here rimuru?"

"I accually just came here to check up on you"

"...."

another awkward pause. Shizuku was happy hearing his reason but wasn't trying to show it as she's too embarassed

"Well im gonna go now"

I said trying to change the awkward atmosphere. Both of then wanted to stay with eachother's company, but they're too embarresed to say something about it

(I don't want Rimuru to leave, i want to keep talking with him, what do i do? Should i tell him to stay? But that's embarrising. Gaaa screw it) Shizuku's thought

"Wait, you can stay a little longer you know" Shizuku said while turning red

"Ahahaha why are we so awkward right now?" Rimuru replied

"HAHAHA, i accually genuinely don't know" shizuku said laughing

"Well truth be told, i wanted to talk to you for a while" rimuru said

"Hm? Why? Is there something wrong?"

"Well there's nothing wrong but, we should probably tell kaori how much of an air head she is"

"Hahahah she is an airhead, but i guess i know why you want to tell her"

"Yeah, so she can atleast lessen the attention she gives to nagumo in public"
