But what did Slime do wrong?

Since the residence was specially prepared for Rimuru, Diablo naturally tried his best, even if the full score was only 100 points, he insisted on giving it a 120-point posture.

Not to mention that Rimuru also gave enough money to Diablo.

So right now, they are staying in a small single-family building with its own garden and exquisite decoration. The transportation is convenient and the scenery is superior, and they can even see the sea in the distance without hindrance.

"I'm sorry that I can only let you stay in such a place for the time being..."

But even so, Diablo still looked very annoyed.

"Please forgive my mistake, give me some more time, and I will definitely be able to find a better place for you!"

"No, it's too exaggerated, Diablo." Limuru couldn't say goodbye to his excessive enthusiasm, "This is already very good."

Ahh, I'm usually not the kind of overly critical, or have high requirements on the environment, like Princess and the Pea, right?

Limulu scratched her cheek with one hand, and couldn't help but start to doubt herself.

There's really no need to treat him as something fragile.

"It's enough!" He once again said to Diablo solemnly.

"Well, if that's what you order."

When Diablo heard this, he could only unfortunately give up his idea of ​​changing the house later.

Diablo agreed, and Limulu heaved a sigh of relief, only then did he have free time and energy to focus on other things.

"Sakura." Limulu beckoned to the girl, beckoning her to come over, "Let's ask Teacher King of Wisdom to test it out for you now—since you don't have a direction you particularly like, why not choose the most suitable one?" alright."

"Okay, teacher."

Matou Sakura never disagreed with Rimuru's proposal.

She obediently came to Limulu, as docile as a white and innocent lamb that would not resist any request from its owner.

[Please, Master King of Wisdom. ]

And for all his requests...or in other words, orders, the King of Wisdom will never refuse.

The ultimate ability born from the laws of the world starts to operate, and it is a more detached way than any method in this world—the technological side or the mysterious side, to check the space from all aspects. Tong Ying's quality.

[Solution, it is an extremely rare [Shadow] attribute... If it can be developed properly, it may be able to connect to the imaginary space and connect to the sea of ​​data. ]

Limulu always seems to have such a special talent. The people who are attracted by him and gather around him are all confirmed in the end. Even if they are unknown in the early stage, they must have a certain kind of shining point , and can eventually develop into some kind of aptitude that is enough to amaze everyone.

It was not an intentional act, but perhaps it was an unintentional act that made it even more incredible and convincing.

[Her aptitude has been intentionally damaged, but because of the short time, it is still within the repairable range. ]

A dutiful report from the King of Wisdom.

"Ah, sabotage?"

Limulu couldn't help thinking of the scene she saw at Matou's house before, the young girl with empty eyes and unmoving eyes in the midst of the sea of ​​insects.

So...was it influenced by that?He speculated secretly in his heart.

[Just give me the repair method, Teacher King of Wisdom. ]

Rimuru puffed out her chest.

[Solve this matter today! ]

"teacher……"

Seeing Rimuru's silence for a long time, Matou Sakura began to feel a little worried.

"Yes, is there something wrong with me?"

she asked anxiously.

Because of those experiences in Matou's house, Matou Sakura is far more sensitive than girls of her age.Matou Sakura is full of gratitude for being able to break away from the Matou family and not have to go back to endure all that.

She will not resent, but she will be afraid of her parents who sent herself to Matou's house; Rimuru who rescued her from the worm warehouse is like the light shining through the night, Although Matou Sakura is still young and doesn't understand many things, she instinctively wants to catch this ray of light.

She would even be secretly happy because Rimuru asked her away from Tohsaka Tokiomi, and now she was even more afraid that she would not meet Rimuru's standards and be sent back.

Because all this time...she was the one who was given up.Not as talented as her elder sister, nor as cheerful, outgoing and lovable as her elder sister. The whole person is like a flamboyant flower.

Matou Sakura grabbed Rimuru's sleeve even tighter.

"Teacher." She whispered, "I, I will work hard, no matter what you say, I will finish it!"

"so……"

She tried hard to hold back the tears from her eyes.

"Please... don't abandon me, okay...?"

"Ah..." Limuru was surprised by her courageous confession, or monologue, and the boy opened his eyes wide in surprise, as if he didn't understand why Matou Sakura would think this way. "How could it be possible to leave you behind, Sakura."

Matou Ying raised her face in a daze, and saw Limulu squatting down in front of her, with a helpless smile on her face, she reached out her hand to wipe away the tears seeping from the corners of her eyes.

Then, the next second, she was pulled into a warm embrace,

Her cheek was pressed against a chest that was actually not that strong and broad, and between the nostrils, she could smell the smell of water mixed with mountain lilies.

"How could I lose you?" Matou Ying heard the voice from above her head, which was as warm as this embrace, "You called me teacher all the time."

"And there's no need to underestimate yourself at all...Sakura's aptitude is very good. It can be called a [genius], at that level."

Matou Sakura's lips moved.

"……genius?"

She looked incredulous about it.

"Words like that... I don't deserve them..."

Is Sakura Matou a genius?

Needless to say, she is.

Possessing the innate and rare [Shadow] magic attribute, she will be able to connect to the inner sea of ​​imaginary numbers in the future and become one of the best magicians in the world—what she possesses is such a talent that is enough to be envied and envied by others.

But her elder sister Tohsaka Rin is a more radiant girl of the sky, a phoenix destined to soar to the nine heavens from birth, and has the adaptability to all five elements, and can use them proficiently and interact with each other. convert.

Even if it counts for hundreds of years, Tohsaka Rin is one of the best talents who can be ranked in the forefront, and he is destined to become a powerful magician that will be recorded in history in the future.

With the aura of such an older sister shining in front of her, it seems normal and understandable that Matou Sakura, who has a demure nature, will be ignored intentionally or unintentionally.

Not to mention, when Tohsaka Tokiomi made such a decision when he was sent to Matou's house earlier, he had considered many things in his heart, but he would not break all these considerations apart and tell Listen to your two daughters.

So in Matou Sakura's cognition, compared to her sister, she is the one who was abandoned.

Teacher Rimuru is so kind, so good that it was the first time that Matou Sakura felt such emotions, wanting to hold the other party tightly, unwilling to let go.

The girl's heart is like a trembling white tender flower that has been beaten by rain, it looks pitiful and lovely.

Limulu couldn't help but sighed and lowered his head, and placed a kiss on the girl's forehead, with a meaning of blessing.

"I won't let you go, Sakura."

He said.

"You are my student."

"If you're still worried...can we pull the hook?"

While saying this, Rimuru stretched out the little finger of his right hand towards Matou Sakura, with an encouraging and bright smile on his face.

Matou Ying stared at him blankly, finally stretched out her hand slowly, hooking his little finger.

"……Um."

She murmured softly.

"We have an agreement, teacher."

So, please don't give up on me in the future.

"I will definitely work very hard...to become useful to the teacher!"

At this moment, Matou Sakura silently planted such a wish in her heart.

Hearing this, Limulu just smiled and reached out to pat Matou Sakura on the head.

"Really? Then Sakura has to work hard?"

He didn't treat Matou Sakura's feelings in a perfunctory way because Matou Sakura was too young, or took it as a deaf ear, but gave encouragement.

As a result, Matou Sakura's eyes lit up obviously, as if a star had fallen inside.

She nodded heavily: "Yeah!"

"..."

Osamu Dazai watched all this without saying a word, with a strange expression on his face.A shadow was cast in front of his eyes unexpectedly, Osamu Dazai raised his eyes and looked over, it was Diablo standing in front of him at some point.

Normally, Osamu Dazai would have hated him; but right now Osamu Dazai really has a huge doubt, so he doesn't mind talking to Diablo first.

"Has he always... always been like this?"

In this way, without complaint or hesitation, he shoulders the lives of others.

When Diablo heard this, he gave Osamu Dazai an extremely arrogant and condescending look.

"Of course you don't understand."

There was fanaticism in his tone.

"Is it more than life?"

"—What he carried on his back was an entire country and dynasty."

Stronger than anyone else, more beautiful than anyone else, more transparent than anyone else.

"That is, my king!"
