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

Lu Ren looked at Rimuru in his arms, with a cute expression that looked like he was about to cry.

I just felt that my whole body and mind were completely conquered at this moment, without any suspense.

His heart was beating fast, really fast.

The intensity of the heartbeat frequency even made Lu Ren, who had always been slow in emotions, unable to ignore his true feelings any longer, and he suddenly finally understood an indisputable fact -

Boy, you are in love.

Volume 153: Chapter The Courage to Confess

The Great Forest of Jura.

In the monster town, on a street bench under the shade of a tree somewhere.

There was a man sitting there, wearing a black woolen coat, with his legs crossed. He seemed to be in a very good mood and was whistling a tuneless little tune.

"Today is a good day~Everything you wish for will come true~Tomorrow will be a good day~Time is precious and cannot wait~!"

Under the puzzled gazes of the monster residents.

Lu Ren hummed a rhythmic tune as if no one was around, trying to vent his inner emotions and try to slowly calm his still violent heartbeat.

Unfortunately, little effect was achieved.

"...Alas, I should have worn a scarf before I went out today."

he muttered.

Because, if he had a scarf now, it could cover half of his face and thus hide his shame.

But that might be a bit too hot.

After all, even if he was sitting under the shade of a tree and enjoying the cool autumn breeze, it still couldn't reduce the heat in his heart...

“I never expected that my pure friendship with Rimuru would deteriorate without my noticing.”

Lu Ren stopped playing the tune and covered his burning face with his hands.

At the same time, I couldn't help but recall the scene from half an hour ago.

At that time, he held Rimuru in his arms, feeling the touch of his soft body, the faint fragrance of his silver-blue hair, and the pink and tender lips so close to him.

For a moment, I was tempted to the point of almost losing my mind.

Moreover, although it was embarrassing to say it, he could not control his body's instinctive physiological reaction, which was...

Boki (? ???ω??? ?).

Then, Rimuru tolerated and even indulged his behavior to the greatest extent, because his human body was too sensitive.

So, in the end, it couldn't bear this level of physical contact, chose to turn back into a cute slime, and ran away in a panic.

Lu Ren was left alone, continuing to sit on the outdoor corridor, soaking his feet, his face flushed as he stared blankly, and began to think about the wandering state of life.

Of course, this does not mean that Rimuru hates Lu Ren.

After all, he could feel that the other party had never shown any resistance or disgust towards him from beginning to end, but was simply shy...

Eh?

Ah? !

If that's the case, doesn't he have a good chance? ! !

Lu Ren suddenly realized something very important.

That is, Rimuru's liking for him seems to be quite high.

Otherwise, the other party would not have sat in his arms and soaked his feet together, or even agreed to his request for a hug.

Moreover, as he subconsciously continued to advance, he did not show any fierce resistance. He only chose to run away because he could no longer bear the shyness.

Think of this.

Lu Ren's mental state suddenly became much more excited.

However, he soon became depressed due to anxiety and fear of failure.

Because he suddenly felt a little afraid that Rimuru would start avoiding him because of this incident.

If that really happened, he would definitely not be able to accept it and would even be heartbroken.

After all, this was the first time in his two lifetimes that he truly discovered that he had fallen in love with someone.

So, whatever.

Lu Ren didn't want Rimuru to hate him or even never see him again.

As for taking the initiative to confess to the other party?

He dare not.

Because he was afraid of being rejected by Rimuru.

Then, as a result, the original relationship between the two people broke down, and they could never return to the natural and comfortable atmosphere they had before.

Even though his intuition told him that the other party would most likely agree to his confession with the premise of marriage, he was still extremely afraid of the small possibility of being rejected.

As a result, Lu Ren now couldn't help but feel an unprecedented confusion.

"Oh, I see... Is this how Jinguji-san felt at the time?"

He sat on a bench on the street, hugged his knees and muttered to himself.

"No wonder an elite like him who is so resolute and efficient would hesitate in this regard. After all, there is nothing you can do about this kind of thing..."

"Because no matter how powerful one is, one may not necessarily have the courage to confess."

this moment.

Lu Ren finally understood how Jinguji Tsukasa felt when facing Tachibana Hinata.

At the same time, he also summoned the virtual panel and glanced at the updated information on it.

------

Name: Lu Ren

Race: Traveler

System: Dimensional Gate

Talent: Information Body (can obtain all information by consuming energy and analyzing)

Existence composition:

Carbon-based humans 98.44%

Dragon Demon 0.02%

Seraph 0.5%

Ghost King 1%

Demon King 0.02%

God 0.02%

......

Ability to master:

Golden Light Qi (attack and defense in one, healing perspective, invisible changes)

Greedy Stomach (space inside the body that can hold matter and energy, but not living things)

Cognitive modification (can consume mental energy, modify the cognition and memory of ordinary people to a certain extent, but is ineffective for extraordinary people)

Resurrection (If the soul of the deceased has not yet dissipated, energy can be consumed to revive him. The degree of energy consumption is related to his strength and degree of injury)

Telekinesis (can intervene in any object through thought, the intensity is proportional to the energy consumption)

------

Obviously, compared to before.

The composition ratio of "God", "Demon King" and "Dragon Demon" has now increased by 0.01%.

The proportion of "Seraphim" has increased by 0.2%.

The first two of them were added by Lu Ren when he fought against the decisive weapon controlled by Miss Ju.

Because, when he was on that oversized robot, in addition to feeling the power of the runaway goddess, he also sensed an evil force from the devil influencing it.

Therefore, while he was in the Great Sage mode, he analyzed the information of these two opposing forces while fighting, and gained a lot.

As for the latter two?

That's even simpler.

Lu Ren recalled the scene when Milim had been clinging to him and acting like a spoiled child, as well as the useless angel who had been coming to his house for free meals these days. He said that it would be a piece of cake for him to increase the ratio of dragon demons and seraphim.

However, it is worth mentioning.

Even though he analyzed these top-level extraordinary races again, the improvement in his own strength was not as great as he had imagined.

Rather, it is almost at the "disaster level", and it is difficult to make a big improvement as easily as before.

Of course, this is a matter of course.

After all, in the original book, the Pig-Head Emperor was a disaster-level being. If he was not protected by the Legion, it would only take a few Sky-Soaring Knights from the Dwarf Kingdom to hunt him down.

But when he successfully evolved into a disaster-level Pig-Headed Demon King, the ghost humans like Shiyuan who could easily slaughter the Pig-Headed Legion immediately became helpless.

In the end, it was thanks to Rimuru's cheating that they devoured each other for a whole night before they finally won the victory.

As for the disaster-level Storm Demon Vortex that came later, he single-handedly fought against all the high-level combat forces and armies of the entire Demon Federation, as well as the Tianxiang Knights who came to support from the Dwarf Kingdom, for more than ten hours without losing the upper hand.

The leap in strength is so great that it is simply unimaginable.

Therefore, it is completely normal that Lu Ren cannot easily step into the threshold of disaster level now.

Moreover, he himself has never been too concerned about improving his strength, so he will not feel disappointed about it, but...

The situation now is a little different.

Because Lu Ren suddenly felt that with just the strength of "Disaster Level", he was not worthy of Rimuru, whom he loved.

Of course, the girl he likes definitely won’t care about such things.

However, one code equals another code.

People don't care.

He cares!

So, Lu Ren, who became a little chauvinistic for the first time, actually began to despise himself for being "weak".

However, this kind of thing cannot be rushed.

So, after hesitating for a while, Lu Ren put the matter behind him and stood up and walked towards the training ground in the monster town.

Because, before Rimuru left (to escape), in addition to saying that he was going to deal with work, he also mentioned that if he had time, he could help her a little -

Go find a man named Yum.

Make him a "real hero".

Volume 154: Chapter Weapon Rating and Money Settings

Monster town, training ground.

This is a place used for daily training for combat members such as the Guard and Wolf Ghost Soldier Corps.

The one in charge of swordsmanship instruction was a white-haired ghost who was over 300 years old but still strong and vigorous.

"Sword Ghost" Bai Lao.

"There are too many flaws. You guys who don't practice well, stay alert and don't be careless."

One hand was behind his back, the other holding a wooden sword.

Old Bai walked leisurely in the crowd, swinging his sword from time to time, and ruthlessly knocking away the inexperienced young people around him.
