Rimuru

After a long journey, Rimuru brought you to Tempest. No one knew who you were or where you came from. He simply introduced you calmly.

Rimuru: - Meet my mate. Treat her with the same respect you would treat me.

Everyone immediately bowed their heads.

Benimaru: - As you command, sir.

Shuna: - Welcome, madam.

Shion: - No one will dare to offend you.

From then on, everyone treated you with respect: they helped, protected, and fulfilled any requests you made. But soon you noticed something strange.

Around Rimuru, they laughed, joked, and acted like a real family. As soon as he left, the smiles disappeared.

Shuna: - Madam, if you need anything, let me know.

Benimaru: - Mistress, your safety is our priority.

Shion: - Madam, let me accompany you.

They were impeccably polite, but they kept their distance. No one offended you, but you still felt like an outsider.

A few days later, Rimuru noticed your thoughtfulness and came into the room in the evening.

Rimuru: - Can I?

Having received permission, he sat down next to her on the sofa and smiled.

Rimuru: "So, how are my guys? Shion, Shuna, Benimaru, Gobta... They're not bullying you, are they? If anything happens, be sure to tell me."
