Tempest History [Tensura X Slime No Taoshite]

Father Duty

Rimuru pov:

It's been 6 month since the battle between là infernal and boss A, and during that time many things happened,  starting from the entire sirens race pledged their loyalty to me, and the Yunagoni Empire that has been part of my domain

Let's not forget about ramiris, veldora and me combined research regarding mechanical soldiers that has been successfully produced a quit large amount of it, i bestowed the name 'Athens' to this new legion, regarding to that, geld construction project called 'Vanity Tower'  that soon will be Athens main operation has already completed

We only need some final touch to Vanity Tower and it will be ready to use

Athens, as i previously stated is a result of me, ramiris, and veldora combined research, and to keep it simple, they are just a bunch of robots with highly intelligent A.I installed in them, they are capable of communicating but doesn't have any emotions

My part in this research is to installed the A.I into them, and with the help of ciel-chan i installed an A.I that comparable to great sage into everyone of them, and specially for the commander of Athens, i installed an A.I comparable to Raphael and personally named him Machina

In conclusion, even though we only got 900 of them, this legion is really freaking powerful, second only to the current Black Numbers...hell, depending on the situation Athens maybe even surpassed Black Numbers

"The Vanity Tower and Athens project, is already completed, we are more than ready to receive eastern empire as our guest right?" I mutter

<Yes, with Athens, our overall military power is far surpassed eastern empire>

" Guess so, since the others legions is still on the same power level as they are in the past at this time.....even though we had no casualty at that time, i still can't help but worry, that is the sole reason i created Athens.."

<don't worry master, there will be not a single casualty in this time too.......i will make sure of it>

Ciel replied with unusually serious tone, but hearing that sooth my heart, as expected from my reliable partner...

"Ciel, i just want you to know, no matter what, i will always have a full faith on you"

<It make me happy...i'm truly happy master, thank you...i will not dissapoint you>

After having some conversation with ciel, i get out from my office and ready to go back to my home

As soon as i teleported at the front door, i saw azusa that has already waiting for me

"Welcome home, Danna-sama" azusa greet me with her warm smile

"I'm home, azusa.." i replied as i return the smile to her

While we chatting in the living room, i always feel that this is my most precious time in my life, the woman that i truly loved with all my being is sitting in front of me and cheerfully talking about lot of things without a single care in the world

"I see, good for you then" i replied to her question with a warm smile

Even though i know what is waiting on the future for me and my wife, this moment will always be remembered

"And...danna-sama, i have something to asked..can i?" Azusa asked as her tone suddenly dim down

"You can just asked me you know?"

"It's about...our destiny"

The moment azusa said that, i feel as if something pierce my heart, 'so she already knew about it..' i mutter in my head

"It is definitely what you were thinking right now azusa, that's right, circe is telling the truth" i answered bluntly

As i expected, i saw azusa expression turned pale after hearing my answer, but she soon change it as she face me with her clearly forced smile

"I....really don't want that" she said as her ears is on the verge of falling down but still retaining her forced smile

"....even though you don't want it, it will happen, you will be the reason of my demise azusa, whether it is intentional or not..it will happen"

<............>

Are you worrying about me too? Don't worry, i'm fine...perfectly fine in fact

Suddenly the door of living room opened, falfa is standing there with shocked expression, 'she must have heard our conversation earlier..' i thought while smiling at her

"Papa .....demise..because of...mama?" Falfa mutter repeating the words from earlier

"It's not like that falfa-" before azusa could end her sentence falfa rush to me and immediately hug me tightly

"Papa, please don't go anywhere! *Sob* don't leave falfa and shalsha and mama *sob* falfa will be a good girl....falfa promised" falfa said while crying on my chest

"Falfa..." azusa mutter as she too can't hold her tears anymore as she hugging both me and falfa

"I-i-if papa go...mama will be sad...shalsha will overwork her brain to find papa...*sob*....master and ramiris-sensei will be sad too...*sob*...eura nee-san will cry...milim nee-san will be angry....diablo and others will cry too....an-and...*sob* falfa will missed papa!" Falfa said while her crying began to intensifies

Azusa who can't no longer speak as she think that she will be the reason for my demise couldn't speak as she keep crying

I slowly hug both of them back while wearing my confident smile

"Don't worry....papa will not go anywhere,  papa will always be with my family and protect papa daughters from scary things....so don't cry anymore okay? You too azusa" i gently said to them

At that moment i feel it, the warm of family and i know that this warm will never fade...........i will not let it.
