Traveling Back - That Time I Got Reincarnated As A Slime

Chapter 40 - Getting Caught

(Shizue's POV)

I separated the hug after they all calmed down.

"Shizu-sensei, why did you suddenly leave? We know that you have a reason" (Gale) said and the other students nodded.

"You don't have to worry about tha---" (Shizue)

I wanted to avoid answering that to not let them worry but I remembered the words that Rimuru-san and Ciel-san told me before I left Tempest.

"Just give them the reason why you left, they will surely understand"

I blank out for a few seconds remembered their words and the children got worried by my sudden silence.

"Shizu-sensei?" (Kids)

"It's nothing... I'll tell you why I left" (Shizue)

I told them about Ifrit, finding a cure for them, how I met Rimuru-san and Ciel-san, how they saved me, and the fact that they can save their lives.

After hearing that Kenya cried and tightly hugged me.

"Shizu-sensei, (Sob) I'm sorry for jumping in the conclusion" (Kenya) said with sobs and shedding some tears.

"(Giggle) It's fine Kenya" (Shizue) said while stroking Kenya's spiky hair.

"So is that the reason you sometimes look like your in pain Shizu-sensei? Because of Ifrit?" (Chloe)

I got surprised that she noticed, I thought I hid it very well. For my reply I just nodded my head. After that the atmosphere suddenly got gloomy.

"Come on, it's in the past, like I told you someone saved me and can also save all of you" (Shizue)

"Rimuru Tempest and Ciel Tempest, was it?" (Gale)

"Yes, they are very powerful and also the most beautiful and kindest people I have seen and met" (Shizue)

"(Curious) Most beautiful?!" (Alice)

"I want to fight them!" (Kenya)

"Are they more powerful than you, Shizu-sensei?" (Ryota) innocently asked.

"They can easily defeat me without lifting a finger" (Shizue)

"WHAT!!!" (All)

"(Chuckle)" (Shizue)

"I'll be the one judging their strength if that's true or not" (Kenya)

"I want to meet them" (Alice) said, curious about their 'beauty'.

"Me too" (Chloe) shyly said.

"They are very kind and they will visit us in a few weeks" (Shizue)

"Looks like you really respect them, Shizu-sensei" (Gale)

"Of course I do, they're the saviors of my life and they're always very kind to me but they sometimes treat me like a child" (Shizue)

And the kids continued asking me more questions about Rimuru-san and Ciel-san.

(Rimuru's POV)

In the morning we left Dwargon after saying goodbye, we did our usual routine and nighttime came, I kinda missed Luminous so I told Ciel that we'd visit Luminous in Ruberios.

"Ciel, let's visit Lumi" (Rimuru) said, Ciel nodded while looking a little sad.

Seeing her slightly frowning, I cupped her cheeks and kissed her, she happily kissed me back, after 20 minutes we parted making a bridge of salivas with our mouths.
