Rimuru: offended "I would never do that! They’re all my friends, and I respect them!"
Diablo: dramatically, with a bow "See, even in the face of doubt, Rimuru-sama remains the pinnacle of honor and kindness!"
Rimuru: sighs "Thank you, Diablo… I think."

Dagruel: sighing "Alright, Rimuru, what’s your secret? How are you drawing in all this admiration without even trying?"
Rimuru: laughing awkwardly "If I knew, maybe I’d stop doing it by accident!"
Dino: yawning, clearly amused "Or maybe you like it, deep down?"
Rimuru: blushing and waving his hands "What? No way! It’s just… unexpected."

[Meanwhile, the girls are getting more intense in their discussions, while Rimuru looks increasingly uncomfortable.]
Carrera: smirking at Rimuru "It’s simple, really. He likes strong women, right, Rimuru-sama?"
Rimuru: clearing his throat "I mean, I respect strength… but that’s not all that matters!"
Ultima: excitedly "See! He’s interested in personality too—someone fun and interesting!"
Rimuru: sweating nervously "Uh, I mean… personality is important, but it’s not just about being fun…"
Luminous: rolling her eyes "Fun? Rimuru, admit it. You’re drawn to powerful figures with an air of mystery."
Rimuru: laughing awkwardly "Well, I won’t deny that I respect powerful people, but this is getting complicated…"

Millim: grinning "Ha! We don’t need to complicate it! I’m the best friend here, and best friends win, right Rimuru?"
Rimuru: fidgeting "Millim, friendship is… well, it’s different. We’re definitely great friends!"
Millim: frowning "What do you mean by ‘different’? I’m a perfect match!"

[Chloe and Hinata step in to try to bring some order.]
Chloe: gently "Let’s not overwhelm him, okay? Rimuru didn’t ask for all this attention…"
Hinata: crossing her arms, eyeing Rimuru "But if it comes to compatibility, Rimuru needs someone who understands his goals. That’s not about strength alone."
Rimuru: nodding, relieved "Yes! Exactly, Hinata. Thank you for understanding."
Velzard: smiling slyly "Understanding him? Please. Rimuru needs more than just understanding—he needs loyalty and dedication. Someone who’ll always have his back."
Rimuru: overwhelmed "You’re all putting way too much thought into this…"

[Guy watches with amusement, as Veldora and Ramiris chime in.]
Veldora: grinning at Rimuru "Face it, brother, this is exactly like one of those harem stories we read about! You’re the accidental harem protagonist!"
Ramiris: giggling "Yeah, and he’s got all the archetypes—powerful rulers, sweet girls, best friends!"
Rimuru: blushing furiously "Veldora, Ramiris, don’t make it sound so ridiculous! It’s nothing like that!"
Guy: raising an eyebrow "Are you sure about that, Rimuru?"
Rimuru: stammering "Absolutely! This is just… I’m just friends with everyone!"
