(Gazel POV)
Yesterday was a hectic day, and to think I would be so easily flung across the forest with one shot.
I completely underestimated them because I thought they were young but I made such an obvious mistake.
I sigh and shake my head at my actions.
Those brothers will be a menace to society in terms of power, I assume if Lucifer is that strong, Rimuru should be just as strong.
I must tread these brothers carefully, one wrong move and they can become my enemies but they can also be good allies, but if it comes to it, I'll fight them even if I lose, there is no one else in my kingdom strong enough.
Their spies are excellent too, If I wasn't actually paying attention to where they are, I would have been lost them.
Rimuru seems to be more compassionate than Lucifer but last night when I met up with him he seemed to be angry for some reason and the meeting got rushed to the end because he didn't feel like working.
But we did talk about the treaty, even though Lucifer wasn't there, Rimuru said he would tell him later.
It seems like even though Rimuru is a compassionate individual, Lucifer himself seems to be a playful and dangerous individual from what I've seen.
Also the Nation their building is amazing, they built so many things in a couple of months which would take us years.
We are currently in a weirdly designed building that's still being built but has all the necessities that we need.
It seems their country is still under construction, but the building itself is impressive even when it's not done, the design seems peculiar but looks great nonetheless.
"Your majesty?" Dorf, the captain of my pegasus knights broke me out of my thoughts.
"Yes?" I questioningly looked at him.
"I never got the chance to ask but how did he beat you so easily? Also why did you back off so fast?" Dorf questioned me confusedly.
"Of course, Lord Gazel wasn't even trying!!"
"Yeah, he let them hit him!!"
"Our Lord is too powerful to ever lose!!"
"But it would be nice to know what our Lord was thinking!!"
All the soldiers turned around and started to defend my honor but they also seemed curious about what happened.
"Slow down there, as much as I appreciate it, I got defeated easily, as it seems." I chuckle at the disbelief on their faces.
"But to answer your questions I lost because I severely underestimated the duo. If we were to fight seriously, I'm not sure if I could win just because it seemed like the attack he used could bypass barriers easily, and unless he's really good at acting, he used it without effort, so it's debatable until we get more information on his powers."
"The reason I backed off was that I could tell he wasn't at least a bad person, I could tell this because I could feel he was holding back on the shot. If he wanted to, he could have at least critically injured me or maybe even kill me but he didn't."
"You guys need to remember that I'm not strong compared to the top powers of this world, there are so many beings in this world who could easily defeat me, so do not believe I'm invincible when I'm not but I will always protect our nation even at the cost of my life." I resolutely stated.
All the soldier's eyes widened in realization, they seem to understand my situation, at least their not one of those types of soldiers who just blindly believe in their king's power but I was cut out of my thoughts by a sudden scream.
"HOORAY TO THE OUR KINGS HONOR!!"
"KING GAZEL!!"
"KING GAZEL!!"
All the soldiers started to chant my name, even the quiet Dorf joined in, I slightly smile and shake my head at their antics.
(Narrator POV)
A cat could be seen napping on a hill, its dark purple soft fur rustling with the slight breeze.
Not too far away from it can be seen a beautiful purple-haired ogre sneaking up on the cat.
Once she was close enough, she lunged at the napping cat but suddenly the cat's golden eyes snapped open and it jumped out of the way in order to avoid the ogre.
"Tsk, tsk, tsk, have you not learned your lesson Shion? I am basically the god of mischief, I will not be caught by my own trick, even Loki doesn't hold a candle to me." Lucifer smugly stated.
'But that's the live-action only, the comics version of all those marvel characters are just way too dangerous. But once I get stronger I'll be able to one-shot anyone if I have the same or higher potential as Rimuru.' Lucifer inwardly thought.
"No fair Lord Lucifer, I just want to pet and snuggle with you, your fur is just way too softtt!!" Shion just pouted.
"I don't mind but just ask next time." Lucifer told Shion.
Shion nodded happily and opened her arms up for Lucifer to jump in.
Lucifer had a slight smile on his cat face while shaking his head but he eventually just jumped into her arms.
Shion started to rub her face against his.
"You're so softtt!! Lord Lucifer where did this heavenly fur come from!? Your even softer than Ranga!" Shion exclaimed in delight.
"Of course because It's me!" Lucfier stated with a smirk.
Shion just started to squeeze Lucifer between her breasts.
"D-Dammit, I c-can't b-b-reathe!" Lucifer stated between her breasts.
Shion immediately stopped choking him and held him in front of her like how a certain lion named Simba was.
"Sorry! I always forget!" Shion just nervously chuckled.
But suddenly smoke appeared in front of her face and she couldn't feel Lucifer in her hand anymore.
"Lord Luci-" Shion was about to call for him but,
Suddenly two golden piercing eyes appeared right in front of Shion's eyes, not even 1 foot away they were making direct eye contact.
Lucifer transformed into his human form and stood in her personal space, they could even feel each other's breath.
"Lord Lucif-" Shion was flustered but Lucifer cut her off.
"Are you trying to seduce me?" Lucifer asked with a mischievous tone.
"O-O-f course not Lord Lucifer!!" Shion hurriedly denied it with a flustered face while looking at the ground.
She noticed he wasn't talking.
She looks up and sees Lucifer looking in a certain direction with a mysterious smile.
"It seems like things are finally getting interesting." Shion heard Lucifer mutter.
Shion looks in the direction where Lucifer is looking but sees nothing.
"Lord Lucifer, what happened?" Shion questioned confusedly.
"Listen, tell Benimaru and the rest to not approach me or Rimuru, we have someone to deal with, this is an order." Lucifer playfully winked and disappeared.
Shion wanted to question more but trusted her Lord's judgments and went to inform the others about what he said but with a reddened face.
(Lucifer POV)
It seems it's time to meet Milim, using [Magic Sense] I can sense her coming at a very fast speed.
Once I reached the spot where she is going to arrive, it seemed like me and Rimuru arrived at the same time.
Once he saw me, he transformed into his human form just in case whatever was coming, came for a fight.
"Yo!" I greet Rimuru playfully with a wave.
Rimuru just looked at me and turned his head away.
I'm not letting things stay like this, I'm so over his attitude.
I Shunpo right in front of his face, I purposely made us so close that even our lips our barely apart and I peer directly into his eyes.
He looked shocked at my movement and it soon turned into an embarrassment.
"Get off me Lucifer!!" He tried to back away but I purposely gripped his waist hard and held onto him.
"I'm going to kiss you if you don't stop being a bitch." I stated with a smirk.
I'm definitely not doing it because that would be weird, especially without his consent, it's a good bluff to toughen him up, I smiled smugly inwardly.
His face turned into disbelief.
"Don't you dare!!" Rimuru exclaimed.
I purposely get close to his lips with mine but make sure to not touch.
While I was slowly inching toward his lips,
"Alright I give u-" Rimuru was about to give up but suddenly Milim came faster than I expected and crash-landed on the ground, with a big aftermath of winds and debris flying everywhere.
Since I wasn't expecting it, the wind pushed me forward.....
*Smooch*
I fell down on Rimuru with my lips on his, he was shocked.
I mean I was too!
But damn his lips are really soft.
What am i thinking?
I shake my head and pull myself out of my thoughts.
I looked down and I see that me and Rimuru are still kissing, it seemed as if he wasn't hating it for a second.
I pull my lips back while still laying on him, I just stare at him for a quick second I noticed pleasure in his eyes but it soon turned into an angry face.
"YOU BASTARD!" He tried to punch my face but I disappeared from his face and appeared a couple meters away.
Even though he looked angry, I could tell he was embarrased and it seemed like while we kissed he didn't mind but now he's acting like this, weird.
"Damn your lips taste good but right now we need to focus on the person that just landed here." I smirked and played it off like I did it on purpose.
I personally didn't mind kissing him because I really don't see him as guy, biologically he is neither, so I have no problem with it.
Plus he really did taste good.
Looking at his face, it was turning deep red, I couldn't tell if it was because of anger or embarrasement, I think both.
My mood instantly changes to a serious one and Rimuru notices this, he just huffs and walks with me up to the crater.
Milim seemed to be at the top of the crater looking at us weirdly.
"What was that?" Milim asked confusedly.
It seems she doesn't know what kissing is and I don't understand why she wears that skimpy outfit, If I become close friends with her, I'll have to change that.
"Nothing." I shake my head.
"Who are you and why are you here?" Rimuru questioned.
"Hmm, ok. Well, I'm Milim Nava the Last Dragonoid and one of the Oldest Demon Lords!!" She announces.
"I'm only here to introduce myself to you guys, It seems like you guys are strong and I wanted to see if you would put up a fight against me." Milim explained her reasoning.
"You wanna fight us? Why?" Rimuru narrowed his eyes.
"Did you not just hear what I said? I want to see if you guys can give me a challenge." Milim stated.
'She seems to be way stronger than us, I don't think we stand a chance.' I told Rimuru through thought communication.
'Yeah I just checked with Great Sage she said the same thing, what should we do?' Rimuru questioned.
'I'll let you handle this one.' I stated and sat back down.
'What!! We don't stand a chance together so how would I stand a chance by myself?' Rimuru questioned confusedly.
'I believe in you, your creative.' I encouraged Rimuru and sat on my ass to watch the fight while Rimuru walked up to Milim by himself.
"HoHo, who do you think you are to underestimate me!?" Milim questioned angrily.
"I'm plenty enough." Rimuru replied with his fake confidence.
And just like in the orignal, Rimuru fed her sweets and she agreed to be equal friends with us, she then decided to announce to everyone in the city that me and Rimuru are her bestfriends later on.
Let me know yall thoughts!!
My bad for posting late, school is so hectic, I also take other classes after school, and I'm also going to the gym at the same time, so my schedule can be a little rough :)
