Traveller who is seeing venti stood still and is staring at rimuru immediately nudge him

"What's wrong? It's rude to stare at people like that"

Hearing this venti immediately let out an awkward laugh

"It's nothing, it's just been so long since i see someone as beautiful as your friend here, it's really...has been so long..."

Rimuru just chuckles as he heard venti words, but before he could say anything, paimon suddenly interject him

"Say rimuru, paimon's been wondering all this time, are you a girl or a boy? Your face is too pretty to be a boy yet you the way you talk is nothing like a girl"

Traveller just nodded as he too is curious about this

"I'm a boy unfortunately, so can't have any of you fall for me alright?"

Rimuru said so with a teasing grin plastered wide on his face

"Hahaha! Indeed, my name is venti! It's always a pleasure to make a new friend!"

"I'm Rimuru Tempest, pleasure to meet you too"

The group then begin to chatting with lively atmosphere filled with smile and laughter

"Alright, in celebration to our newfound friend, mister rimuru here, why don't we to Angel Share and have a bottle of wine"

Paimon then look at venti with suspicios stare

"Aren't banned from entering the Angel Share, tone-deaf bard?"

"Well said my little paimon, and for that very reason why don't you and the traveller go fetch a bottle or two for us? I'll accompany mister rimuru to take a walk around monstadt"

Paimon then scold venti accusing him to scam her and traveller to buy him the wine, but their little quarrel soon dissipate as rimuru give them the money to buy it

"Hmph! You're safe today since rimuru is so generous tone-deaf bard! Let's go traveller!"

And with that both traveller and paimon and went to the Angel Share leaving venti and rimuru alone

"Alright then, allow me to show how wonderful our city of freedom is"

"I'll be delighted to"

As both of them walk around the city venti show rimuru various interesting and beautiful places in the city

About an hour has passed and now, both venti and rimuru is sitting on a bench together

"So venti, is there something you like to ask me? Given how you send both traveller and paimon away, it's pretty obvious i say"

Venti smile awkwardly as rimuru see through him like a glass of window

"Indeed, you're sharp one rimuru, but if i may ask, who are you exactly?"

Rimuru just smile at the question, since the first meeting he already know that venti has sensed a trace of divinity from him

[Master is a God, so even if i try to conceal master divinity with magic, the magic that i used to conceal itself would leak the divinity]

It's understandable, a God would recognise a God. It's not ciel fault that it were to be that way, it may have been possible to conceal rimuru entire divinity in other universe but since this universe is not within the akashic records, it's bound to have it's own rules

"I'm the God, but unlike you, i'm not from this world...you may have noticed it since my constellation is non existent right now"

Venti just smile silently before he gently pat down rimuru's back

"I see, the time i've spent with you maybe short but i know, you're one benevolent God, i just...you know, wonder why someone like you would descent in this world, but i honestly don't really care about any of that anymore...so-"

Venti then smile brightly as he look at rimuru with glowing eyes

"I hope you enjoy your travel in this land full of wonders, welcome to Teyvat, my friend!"

Rimuru chuckles at venti words, he initially expected to be wary off by the gods and people in this world when he reveal his identity

But seeing venti smile so brightly has prove him wrong, The God of Freedom...such a fitting name for a bard who is free as the wind

Rimuru then chuckles as he mutter to himself

"I see, this god has just taught me my first lesson.."

Soon after traveller and paimon can be seen running toward them, but surprisingly it's not only two of them, Acting Grandmaster Jean, Cavalry Captain Kaeya, Librarian Lisa, and Outrider Amber also can be seen with them

"Sorry! We were late since we've got to invite all of our friends here! Rimuru comes here quick! Paimon will introduce you to all of our friends!"

Rimuru couldn't help but let out a light chuckles at paimon words

[....Master, i'm happy for you, truly]

'Thanks..'

Rimuru and venti then went to the crowd with a wide smile
