Tensei Shitara Ken Deshita RE: Rimuru Scouring

Chapter 9: New skill

So a majority of people comment no, then it's decided that there will be no romance! Another question, do you guys like it like "someone speaking" (name) or "someone speaking" said name and yada yada

(Rimuru POV)

"*Pant... pant...*"

'This is Crazy.... There's no way I can run 100 laps..... I'm regreting my decision now.....'

As i was laying on the ground, Velda than came up to me with a tray, curious I asked him

"So....*pant*.... Did you bring....*pant*.... me some food and drinks...? "

"Yes I did, since you have work so hard, I have to give you a gift"

Seeing Velda putting the tray, I looking at the tray, I was shocked beyond words...

'Wha-what are those...? Those things are not food.... wait..... Is that.... a rock? '

Slowly looking at Velda, I try asking him but before I can, Velda already spoke

"Don't be so shocked Rimuru, all of the things that is on this tray is to help you"

I'm happy for his consideration but as I was trying to retort, I was once again cut off

"Bu-"

"Shh, just eat it okay? You don't have to worry whether it's edible or not, me and Ciel has already modified it to tastes just like fruits"

'That's not what I'm worried about you old man! '

Looking at him while hiding my frustration, at the same time pointing towards the rock

"*sigh.... * thanks.... But how am I supposed to eat this"

"That's for you to figure it out"

But before I could even say a word, Velda had already left from my sight

"Remember, It's for your own good... "

'I really wanna hit him! Atleast give me some hint! '

Looking at the tray, I started contemplating on how I should supposedly 'eat' this, then an Idea came to mind

'Yeah, I can asked Veldora! I'm sure he knows on how I can consume this 'food'! Maybe he knows what ability that I have in my past life'

Without wasting any time I got up and started moving towards the cave that's totally not sticking out like a sore thumb

Arriving at the cave, I them called out Veldora

"Veldora! I'm here!!! "

As soon as I said that a laugh can be heard

"Kuahahahahaha....! Rimuru your finally here! "

'Woah...! That surprised me.... How can he appear infront of me without me realizing it... '

"Come in, I have a lot of things I wanna tell you"

Seeing him treat me with hospitality makes me ease a bit

"So.... Rimuru.... Why are you holding a tray with magistones and some vial on it? Did brother asked you to do something? "

"Oh.. Yeah he did, he told me to 'eat' the one you call magistones and drink this vial... The vial is not the problem but the magistones"

As I was explaining to him my problem, he just look at me like I just lost my mind

"What's the problem with it? Just eat it, it's your speciality right? "

'Didn't he hear what I just said?! '
