A party was being held in Tempest to commemorate the founding of the nation and the union between the races, you are a human guest, although you have no problem with monsters, there is one that...

"So you've come, weak human. I didn't think you'd come knowing I'm here."

It was Shion, Rimuru's secretary. She and you have a relationship of enmity and rivalry, not so much because you equal her power in battle or something similar, but because well, there were three situations that made the relationship worse.

The first was when you defeated her by making her fall, falling into the mud and ending up humiliated in front of Rimuru, the second when you rejected her food after trying it, calling it "disgusting and an insult to nature" and the third. , well... when you entered the wrong hot spring bath by mistake and Shion was just taking a bath, you saw her naked and in all her glory... you ended up running away from her while she chased you all over the city.

Naturally you tried to apologize to her several times, let's just say "tact" and "good choice of words" aren't always your thing, especially with your sarcasm when she's stubborn.

"You better not cause trouble tonight, asshole, I'll be watching over you and by your side to make sure of that."
