Chapter 21: after the experiment
Author's note : Now I will use the pronoun 'she' to designate Rimuru.
Pov Dia,
A lot has changed since Rimuru looked human and claimed to be my maid.
She wants to serve me so much that she washes me, dresses me and if I didn't stop him she fed me too.
I am glad he takes her role seriously, but I wonder if she does not take it too seriously. I feel like for her to be my maid is her whole life.
It was discovered that human appearance was only slime and that when it is cut there is no blood flowing.
But that does not mean that she is invincible because replenishing the slime she loses requires energy and if he loses too much sshe could die.
The ability she was able to get from [Divide Dividing] will be very handy during combat.
If we make a fight 3 vs 1, I would attack the opponent, while this time Sera will support me with its ice pillars or other ice attack, Rimuru when to weaken the opponent with her [Divide] and support me with some of her skills.
We sometimes tried this technique with Scathach-sensei and it did not work very well.
First, our synchronization is not perfect. Then it's Scathach-sensei, she's too strong for us at the moment anyway.
As soon as we finish a training that is a fight against her, we are more dead than alive.
But at least I can feel my progress from the devils getting better.
For my crimson weapons, I manage to give a somewhat more refined appearance than the appearance of simple weapons.
Rmuru advised me to shoot crimson arrow with my crimson bow. I tried sometimes, but it's very hard.
I wonder if I can use that gun.
Scathach-sensei advised me to simply use crimson arrows instead of using them with a crimson bow, but I refused her idea.
Why, simply because it's cool to go from a sword and then appear behind someone with a bow to shoot an arrow in the back.
She called me stupid, but I want to be cool when I'm fighting.
Dia:" We need a new strategy to fight Scathach-sensei."
Sera:" I have an idea Rimuru has only to fight with you while I support you."
Dia:" Yes, but we need his [Divide]."
Rimuru:" You know Dia-sama, I can fight hand to hand while using my [Divide]."
Dia:" I think my neurons disappear over time."
Sera:" It's kind of normal that you're the most resilient of us. Scathach-sensei is forced to give you a powerful blow to make you faint that it is normal for the blows to have a negative impact on you."
Dia:" I consider these fights to death because in a real fight if you faint, you die. So I want to stop that."
Rimuru:" I have a remark to make is that we become more efficient. And it is true that by supporting you with a Dia-sama weapon, I would be more effective. I spend most of my time looking for an attack window and also trying not to disturb Sera-sama's spells. "
Dia:" You'd want her to type weapons to know. "
Rimuru:" No idea, we should ask Scathach-sensei to help me choose the weapon. For now, I just have to use a classic sword. Sera-sama can you make me one please."
Sera:" No worries, Rimuru-chan. Here take this one."
I am a bit jealous of Sera who can create weapons without having to focus after their creation.
Dia:" Let's fight her now. We are not the same as before, with a little talent we will manage to hurt her."
The result was our crushing defeat and the loss of all future pride.
