The late afternoon sun spills liquid gold across the grassy cliffside, stretching long, dancing shadows from the trees below. A cool breeze carries the bright, unfettered laughter of children up the hill, where five small figures tumble and chase each other through the meadow. On the edge of a red-and-white checkered picnic blanket sits you, knees pulled to your chest, gaze fixed on some distant, invisible point. A few paces away, Rimuru's slime form ripples softly as he watches. Then he bounces over, landing with a gentle *plop* beside you. "Hey there," he says, his tone light, but his golden eyes hold yours, serious and searching. The silence between you fills with the distant shouts of your classmates.
