Traveling through time? You can reach another world as soon as you leave your house

Very close to Lu Ren.

"Who is that guy?"

......

at the same time.

A certain block in the monster town.

Lu Renzheng and Rimuru were walking together, talking and laughing.

The shark girl, who had been riding on his neck and refused to get down, finally chose to take a step back and walk with him holding his hand after being tempted by Rimuru's alien barbecue and top-grade honey.

But even so.

Rimuru had a gentle smile on his face, but his eyes still looked a little strange, and he would glance at the pair of hands holding each other from time to time.

It was obvious that she was very concerned about this.

After all, out of modesty and shyness, she didn't even shake hands with Lu Ren, but just walked side by side very close to him...

"Well, Lu Ren, I noticed that you seem to know quite a few cute girls, and they all seem to have pretty good relationships with you."

Rimuru put his hands behind his back and suddenly turned around nimbly while walking, then put his shoulders close to the other's right arm.

And he used a teasing tone to hide his jealousy.

"Are you planning to start a harem? After all, not only can you travel to other worlds at will, but you also seem to be getting stronger and stronger, just like the protagonist in a novel..."

"What is this all about?"

Hear this.

Lu Ren glanced speechlessly at the blue-haired girl who was standing next to him, and chose to interrupt her.

At the same time, because the distance between the two was too close, he could now clearly smell the other person's faint body odor, which was a mixture of floral scent and the warm smell of a quilt after being exposed to the sun.

Even, looking down inadvertently.

The blue-haired girl's pink thin lips, snow-white neck, delicate collarbone, and the slightly raised chest under the collar would vaguely catch his eye...

Don't look at anything inappropriate.

When Rimuru noticed the gaze for the first time, instead of covering his chest immediately, he openly showed a teasing look and smiled wickedly with the corners of his mouth slightly raised.

It's like saying silently, where are you looking?

If just looking at it is not enough, why not touch it and try it out?

That seductive look is just like a succubus.

But pure and unpretentious.

So, Lu Ren subconsciously turned around and tried to pretend to be calm.

But the sudden intensification of his heartbeat still exposed the hesitation in his heart.

But, I'm sorry.

The emotion on his face now is actually more of confusion.

After all, the two were chatting happily until suddenly something strange happened.

This line that was inconsistent with Rimuru's character really made him a little confused.

"Those cute girls you mentioned are just my tenants. We see each other all the time, so of course our relationship is pretty good."

Lu Ren deliberately coughed twice to suppress the inexplicable ripples in his heart, and explained casually.

"However, it's impossible to have a harem. After all, we are just friends or acquaintances. Or like Gula-chan, she is close to me because I took care of her. Besides... I have never had a girlfriend."

Speaking of this, Lu Ren, who has been single since birth, couldn't help but sigh with some sadness.

After all, he had just seen others showing off their love not long ago, so even he couldn't help but think about having a girlfriend.

However, he has no experience in this area at all.

After listening to his explanation, Rimuru felt much better for some reason.

Even the jealousy that he had not even noticed before disappeared without a trace in an instant, and he was no longer upset about it.

"Really? So that's how it is~"

Rimuru tilted his head, whistled a few times thoughtfully, and then...

Lu Ren was somewhat surprised to find that a soft and boneless little hand suddenly held his big hand.

And that extremely delicate and beautiful touch was something he had never experienced before, as if the clouds in the sky suddenly and gently brushed across his palm.

As a result, the ripples in his heart that had been suppressed suddenly reappeared.

Even continuous!

"Why? It's just a handshake, aren't you happy about it?"

Notice something unusual about the man around you.

Rimuru rolled his eyes cutely in annoyance, seemingly not caring at all about this sudden handshake.

However, her slightly red and translucent earlobes still vaguely revealed her shyness at the moment, as well as the secret feelings that she herself was not aware of.

"Why, how could that be? It just happened a little suddenly."

Lu Ren smiled awkwardly with a stiff expression, and was obviously in a state of nervous panic.

But even so.

He didn't show any intention of letting go.

Instead, he mustered up the courage to hold that soft and tender little hand tighter...

so small.

So soft.

So warm.

It feels really comfortable to hold.

Is this Rimuru’s little hand?

As Lu Ren thought this, his face began to heat up uncontrollably.

It was obvious that he was feeling shy, and he couldn't help but feel surprised and overwhelmed by the turbulent emotions in his heart.

After all, to be honest, he didn't know why, even when he was interacting with other girls, or even when he was communicating with Miss Tachibana, whose Charm Passive was at MAX.

He didn't have any special feelings.

However, when facing Rimuru, he always loses his composure easily.

Not only was I deeply touched by this innocent, kind and lovely girl every time I met her, but even after we separated, I would constantly recall her breathtakingly beautiful smile in my daily life...

This in the end is why?

Lu Ren couldn't figure it out.

Rimuru was also confused.

In other words, neither party has yet realized their true thoughts in the deepest part of their hearts -

They both secretly fell in love.

《The Collapse of Iron Life Starting from the Fading One》

Volume 147: Chapter The Sour Smell of Love

The sour smell of love.

This sentence is usually used to complain about the very sweet display of affection between two people in love.

Alternatively, it can also be used to describe the situation where two people are ambiguous, hovering on the edge of a romantic relationship, and are about to enter a shy state of being in a romantic relationship.

Lu Ren and Rimuru obviously belong to the latter situation.

After all, the two had neither confirmed their relationship nor shown affection in public, and they were even so slow to notice the secret feelings that were growing in each other's hearts.

They were now just holding hands and walking aimlessly on the streets of the monster town.

But even so, the subtle "sour smell of love" between the two still permeated Shark Girl, who was the third party.

Not only did she find that the barbecue in her mouth suddenly didn't taste as good anymore, she also felt like she was an unnecessary light bulb.

"Hmm, a strange smell."

Gula twitched his cute little nose a few times.

Then, with a strange look on his face, he looked at Lu Ren, who had let go of his hand at some point, and the blue-haired girl named Rimuru, who walked in front of him without looking back.

I suddenly felt speechless.

Then I go?

"Lu Ren, are you in heat?"

Gula quickened his pace to catch up, then spoke the tiger-like and wolf-like words with an innocent look on his face.

As a result, Lu Ren, who was originally immersed in the touch of Rimuru's little hand, instantly got furious on the spot.

"No, no, you're just a kid, what do you know? Go eat your barbecue!"

He blushed a little and looked away, trying to drive away the extra guy's disdainful look.

He seemed to have completely forgotten the time he had lived with Shark Girl and the close relationship between them, which was truly despicable.

In response to this, Gula puffed up his cheeks angrily and suddenly felt unwell.

By the way, she and Rimuru are about the same height, both are 1.4 meters.

Why do you treat her like a child?

She doesn't accept it!

Shark girl swung her tail and glared at the man in front of her with a grin.

However, I didn't feel jealous about it.

After all, the relationship between her and Lu Ren was not that of a man and a woman, but more like that between father and daughter or brother and sister.

Therefore, she did not have any displeasure about the other party's desire to find a girlfriend and go to bed together to reproduce. Instead, she was curious about how long it would take for the two of them to get to home base.

Of course, she still felt jealous of that girl named Tanya whom she had never met.

Because that guy took away her identity as a "daughter"!

The thought of this.

The sound of Gula's teeth grinding became even louder.

However, Lu Ren didn't care about Shark Girl's unhappiness at all.

Rather, his entire attention was now focused on Rimuru, who was holding his hand...

To be honest, as a landlord and a time traveler, he had had physical contact with many female friends before.

For example, he carried the drunk Hiroi Kikuri home, played games with Gabriel who was only wearing a T-shirt, carried the asleep Oyama Mahiro back to the next door, took care of Gawugula who refused to wear clothes at home, and hugged his lovely daughter Tanya every day, and even never stopped kissing her good morning and good night, and so on.

However, no matter which time, he never felt shy or had any thoughts about romance between men and women.

Even if he has that intention, those female friends who are close to him will most likely not resist trying to date him (such as Miss Kikuri who is in urgent need of support), and they may even go to bed and communicate their feelings honestly (such as Tanya who wants to get married).

However, Lu Ren still remains single.

After all, he really had never had any romantic thoughts about them.

Therefore, even if there was extensive physical contact or welfare incidents such as seeing naked bodies, he was always able to remain calm.

But now...

Lu Ren suddenly realized that he was not as calm as he had imagined.

Even just holding hands with Rimuru made her so shy that her heart kept pounding.

It was as if he was silently shouting that he was just an innocent virgin who had never seen the world.
