Yoi... I know you're worried about me... but I can't always rely on you and be called 'useless'...

They can insult him how many times they want... but if they involve Yoi... it won't be left alone...

The next day...

Rimuru stands in front of the training area. Some days later and this place will become the testing area... he can't give up here...

Even without his elemental power, his strength and reacting speed is still ways better than most of the frontlines slayers...

Can keep up with Yoriichi's training, Rimuru isn't normal from the start...

"Yo~ still taking your useless butt here?" - the laughs start filling the air. Rimuru's expression remains the same, he has expected this kind of welcome.

These are the people that would pull the higher people down below them... they won't be hesitated in using dirty tricks... Oyakata-sama's bialy treatments toward Rimuru had breed the jealous in them. But today... he will prove them wrong... prove that his power is equal to those treatments... He will break those people who dared to doubt it.

"..."

Later that afternoon... Rimuru slowly steps out of the training area, his expression remains the same as in the morning...

"..."

Like last time... Yoriichi is there, waiting for him. Rimuru smiles brightly as he saw that familiar figure:

"Yoi!! Have you been waiting long? Why didn't you call me?"

Yoriichi carefully checks Rimuru... no dirt, no wound...

Rimuru smirks, looking back at the training area:

"Wory not, I knew the limits"

"... Let's go..."

Rimuru happily nods, then they start walking back home...

-----

"Rimuru, are you free? I want to talk about something"

"..." - Rimuru looks at where the voice comes from in shocked, so shocked that the rice cookies in his hand falls down to the ground. He still even kept his mouth-opening position for another while...

"Rimuru...?"

Rimuru hurriedly shut his mouth, taking back his dull expression. He then immediately bow in front of that person"

"Oyakata-sama!"

Isora, seeing Rimuru's lifely expressions, can only laugh:

"Did I bother you?"

Rimuru shook his head panicky. He asks in nervous:

"Do... Do you perhaps need anything from me...?"

Rimuru says while carefully checking the surrounding... none is here excepted them...

Isora smiles and shook his head:

"I didn't let them follow me. I want to talk with you in private"

Rimuru looks at the boy's eyes... We can't disagree... that Rimuru is very good at reading others' emotions. Despite loosing his memories, this ability is still in hịm.

Rimuru immediately throws all of those manners into the trash can. He stands up, walks toward the back yard while bringing the tea and cookies with him...

Isora slowly follows him. They sit face to face with each other... like two old friends...

"Rimuru... you're different from the others... they always kneel in front of me... making it hard to talk..."

Rimuru pours some tea into Isora's cup, gently smiles:

"Then today is an exception"

The boy pauses for a bit then suddenly looks at Rimuru with a serious expression:

"Rimuru, when we're alone, can you call me by my name...? Like I call you Rimuru?"

Rimuru thought that he was going to say something serious, now laughs in relief:

"Can I, Oyakata-sama...?"

"Um..."

Rimuru thought for a while then slowly turning his face toward's Isora's... the golden pupils stare right at the yellows:

"Isora...?"

"..." - Isora's eyes sparkle, he nod happily...

"Yes! it's Isora!"

The boy who has gotten special treatments and at the same time, has carrried a very heavy responsibility since he was a little kid...

He's never had a real friend...

But since that time when the boy with silver-bluish hair appeared in his dreams... Isora, for the first time, has wished for this friendship
