Midnight has already passed... Rimuru has fainted for a while, he is laying dreamily his head on Guy's lap

So warm... is something pouring into my head?

Looks like Guy is putting his hand on Rimuru's head, a pleasant heat flowing inside his body, suppressing his pain

"Hmm? ...you're awake, Rimuru?" - Guy asks while touching his silver bluish hair

So smooth!

"..." Rimuru remains silent. He just wants to slap on Guy's flawless face

"Don't ignore me, I know that you're awake"

"..." still silent

"Your body got injured worse than you expected"

"..." Rimuru doesn't want to reply to him

"Haaah... all right, it's my fault for looking into your memories, but it was because you refused to answer me, besides, I just looking for the cause of this, not digging into your private things" Guy give him a faded smile

Rimuru angered with each word he spoke, closing his eyes to calm down, he coldly banishes Guy: "You can leave now."

"Ha ha, finally decide to talk huh?" Guy still persistently touches his hair

Push his hand away, Rimuru tried to sit up but failed due to Guy's overwhelming power, his hand keep pouring this strange warm energy into him

"Stay still, I'm helping you!"

"This is the power of <Lord of Pureness>, the energy you're feeling is a part of the purest energy from the Jura forest, it can help you in suppressing your <Chaotic energy>."

Rimuru stopped resisting, obediently lay down, and let Guy massage his head.

"Hey Rimuru, you can't change to your slime form, right?" - Guy's voice breaks the awkward atmosphere

"Um, I can't change to my true form for a short term"

"The sequel of forcing evolution?"

"Um, but just in a short time, it'll be fine in a few days"

"Heh~... should I believe it~"

Guy starts to get unserious, Rimuru doesn't even care to continue this talk, he knows that arguing with Guy only brings more headache

Enjoying this warmth for a while, Rimuru suddenly remembers... why is he here? ... he glares at Guy, asking him while frowning: " What's your business here?"

Guy who is focusing on Rimuru's hair flinches: "Ah! Almost forgot, I come here to ask you about the abnormal number of Awaken Demon Lords existing here. Ah! And about the battle situation with the Empire too."

"If it is about the war then go ask Diablo and Benimaru's group, though I'm not sure if they choose to... speak..." his voice becomes smaller and smaller until quiet

"Hm? Already slept?" Guy chuckle... seems like he's exhausted

"Good night, little boy..."

Don't watch the thing you don't want

Oi Veldanava, I really like this little idiot.

Guy still sits there transferring energy for Rimuru until dawn.

"The sun is rising, I'll say goodbye for now..." Guy whispers to Rimuru, pulling the blanket on him then leave

------

The noon light through the window shines on a sleeping figure, their eyes slightly flinch, then they slowly open. Is that careless guy already gone?

Rimuru dreamily sits up, remembering what happened last night... Right! Raphael!!!

"Hey, Raphael, why didn't you tell me that Guy entered my house last night?

You mean it, right? Raphael... don't lie to me!!!"

Rimuru is not that naive to think that everything is just a coincidence

"Raphael, stop pretending to be deaf, I know you heard me!"

[I'm sorry] - finally she replies to him

My Master, I did it because of your life.

If there is a second chance, I'll still choose the same
