"Spirit of Distraction" • Tensura X Date a Live

Ch 8: PEACE

---Rimuru POV---

While sleeping on the ground

Rimuru sensed a small drop of liquid on her face

followed by more liquid particles that made Rimuru feel uncomfortable and opened her eyes

Rimuru opened her sleeping eyes and found herself lying in the rain

" Ah~....it's raining... " Rimuru said while looking up at the rainy sky with sleepy eyes

Then Rimuru slowly sat up and looked into the distance with her eyes sleeping under the rain

“ Hey Ciel…, how long have I been asleep… ” Rimuru

... after a while of not seeing Ciel's answer Rimuru asked again

" Ciel? " Rimuru asked

<<...Is she mad at me>> Rimuru

Since Rimuru is currently in the middle of the forest, even though she is hiding her presence, since she was currently in a human body, it is not good to stand in the rain for too long.

Rimuru wants to create a makeshift roof with earth magic to shelter from the rain

But before that Rimuru used 'Universal Perception' to make sure the surroundings were safe

But while checking, Rimuru sensed an energy similar to Rimuru in the city

surprised by the presence of this energy Rimuru turned to ask Ciel

<<Hey Ciel, what's with that energy?>> Rimuru

... still no response from Ciel

After a while, Rimuru thought about linking events with the 'thought acceleration' Rimuru came to a conclusion that the source of the energy was Ciel.

Recalling Ciel's words earlier made Rimuru understand what Ciel was trying to do and now Rimuru had to act quickly.

Right now Rimuru wants to teleport there immediately but due to the absence of Ciel right now, Rimuru is unable to teleport.

So Rimuru had to rush there at a speed below the speed of sound to avoid attracting attention

This was a speed that was too slow for Rimuru so while flying, Rimuru mumbled a prayer " please arrive in time, please arrive in time "

Rimuru flew through the night in the rain since it was quite dark at this time, so no one could see her with the naked eye.

---Shido POV---

Right now Shidou was standing in front of a girl who looked exactly like Rimuru but had red eyes and an expressionless face sitting on the sofa looking at Shidou.

" To thank you I will give you 3 choices Soul, Memory or Life chose one and I'll free you from it " Ciel

Hearing the words that came from the girl in front of him, Shidou couldn't understand the situation at all

After saying that, Ciel muttered "Erabus", then a Katana sword appeared and Ciel held it and pointed it at Shidou's body.

Right now Shidou's heart was beating fast and sweat started pouring out from his body

Shido can sense from the other girl that there is a mysterious and terrifying power that causes Shido a great pressure.

While Shidou was still frozen in fear, Tohka and Yoshino came out and summoned their astral Dress and stood in front of Shido facing the other girl, tohka also called the angel Sandalphon in sword form and took a stance.
