ReSlime : Finding A Way Back In Another World

ARC I FINAL : FLICK

" What is it? Rimuru and Reinhard"

" I believe I'm hearing a sound of cries somewhere, lik-"

" like a child right? I'm hearing it as well, it's barely audible but I know it" I interrupted Reinhard.

" I'm glad to hear I'm not the only one, Rimuru" Reinhard gave a soft smile to me.

" We should head towards it then!" Emilia voiced out her opinion, making me raise one of my brows.

" Are you sure , Emilia? There can be other knights to handle it as well , and it will delay our search further"

" I'm totally sure! What if it's a lost child? They don't know any of the knights but I'm sure they'll recognise Reinhard" She said with a determined look. I smiled at that , she is a really innocent and caring person plus she made a good point.

" and the child would be amazed to meet a great spirit such as myself, I'm sure he'll go on for hours and hours about me to his parents!"

Being on the same term, We all headed towards the crying noise. And coming to the view. We found that a few knights are trying to calm down a crying light brown haired girl who looks no more than seven. Emilia's guess triumphed. Upon seeing Reinhard and us approaching. The knights expression turned to one of gratefulness.

" Reinhard senpai! I'm glad you came to help us!" One of the knights said , stretching his arms out in happiness.

" Rest assured, We will take care of her" Reinhard said , With that. The other knights left the scene.

" Hey little girl, Where are your parents?" Emilia, being an absolute noob on handling kids and being a kid herself, asked a question that made the girl cry even louder.

" Auaauuauauau ahhhhhhahah!!!" She sobbed her eyes out at that. Big drops of tears dropping down like rain from her eyes. Emilia , visibly panicked at that, waving her hands in front of her, trying to calm her down.

"You aren't suppose to remind her of her parent , that way she will cry even more " I scolded Emilia , who was refusing to meet my gaze, Reinhard in background went to the child.

" Hey! I know you! I'm Reinhard van Astrea , The Sword Saint. You must know me right?"

Reinhard bended down to match the level of the kid. Hearing the word " Sword Saints" brought her to the reality as she tried to comprehend the situation that she was meeting a living legend.

"W-Woah!! You are the master swordsman?! Really?!"

She shouted happily, stars glimmering in her eyes. Her mind recalled back then when her mother read her the story about the amazing sword saint. She said that He always help everyone and she can trust him anytime. It made her entire body feel relaxed somehow and was hopeful.

" Yeah!" Reinhard grinned back at her. I went near the girl, bended down with my knee on ground to match the level of the now happy girl. I gently placed both of my hands on her shoulders.

" Don't worry, You are safe . We'll find your parents" I looked in her light blue eyes with my own Before giving her a gentle hug , stunning her, her mind tried to recall who this person A , and why does she felt so much safe in her arms?.. She felt as if there was nothing to worry about.

All her previous sadness , despair and nervousness were reduced to atoms. Her mind tried to comprehend what was happening, her eyes trembling , she doesn't wanted to let go of such feelings.

I attempt to loosen his grip on her but upon feeling the warmth leaving her. She clutched the back of Rimuru's collar tighter.

" C'mon! Your parents must be dead worried about you.. you don't wanna trouble them, do you?"
