In the afternoon, I was walking around Tempest with a little slime on my shoulder, "Did you want to see this place? You were annoyingly insistent on seeing how this place developed."
"Hey, I wasn't that annoying!" Shizu retorted loudly, her voice coming out soft and high pitched.
"Yeah yeah, whatever you say princess." I dismissed her outburst.
"Hey! I'm not a princess!"
"Actually you are, technically."
"Huh!"
I looked to my shoulder as if she were stupid, "Do I really have to explain it? You are the artificial offspring of a recognized demon lord and a recognized god, even if we don't make your title as a princess official, just being known as our child will give you special treatment."
Although Shizu's viscous body lacked like seventy percent of facial expression, Shizu's shock was very apparent by this realisation, " So I'm actually a princess?"
" Please, evens if you weren't an official princess…" I rubbed Shizu's slimy head, "…You'd still be my princess."
Shizu was laughing gleefully and hugged my hand with her little slimy tendrils, "Ok then dad." But then Shizu had recognised her slip in her usual behaviour, "Um… shut up!"
But then Shizu wanted to know something, " By the way, what is Mr Kevin and miss Yuura doing in Eden at the moment?"
" How did you know where they were?"
"I don't know, I just… felt it." Shizu was now wondering herself how she knew they were there.
I was also curious myself on why she could sense them and came to a thesis, "Hey Shizu look at my hands." Both my hands went alight with fire, "Now tell me which of these glow brighter to you."
Both fires to the physical and sometimes evens the magical eyes looked completely the same, "Their both look normal but the one to the left looks brighter to me for some reason. I'm assuming you know why."
'So that's it, she has a instinctual sense of Chaotrons, evens across dimensions.'
"Shizu, I want you to look at these and close your eyes." I said to a confused Shizu.
Shizu didn't understand my intentions but acted obediently anyway, she closed her physical eyes, " I… I can still see it."
" Now keep your eyes closed." As my voice faded, Shizu watched the flame move and shift somewhere else.
" I can still sense it."
" Now open your eyes."
Shizu opened her eyes, " It's not there, why can I still sense it though? Can you tell me shit?!"
" Watch your language young lady." I said jokingly towards Shizu but my mind was ecstatic with her abilities, 'So her sense of Chaotrons aren't localized to her current location or Eden, she can also sense them from the Daemon realm.'
" Hey!"
" Sorry Shizu, I just wanted to try some of your new abilities but unfortunately there's no use in telling you, it's not something you need to know about now." I said as we walked off into the distance and through the streets.

Yuura had walked into Rimuru's meeting room where Velzard was currently leeching off of Veldora's stash of manga, "Yuura? Is there something you needed? Do I need to call Simon?"
"No no, I came to talk to you Lady Velzard." Yuura timidly sat down next to Velzard, her body trembling slightly.
Velzard noticed the very contrast in Primordial pinks extremely cheerful behaviour and grew confused and concerned, "Is there something wrong?"
" Um… you know Master the best… correct?" Yuura asked shyly.
" Yeeesss." Velzard drew out her answer in confusion.
" I've heard that on his world, in corporate settings, it is forbidden to have a romantic or sexual relationship with a colleague. Do you think master would care if I had one?"
And now Velzard, the type writing Veldora, the hungover Rimuru and Shion and the gentlemanly Diablo who were all trying to stay out of the conversation could not help but stare Yuura down.
Yuura, who already was in a befuddled state, was now feeling very overwhelmed from everyone's stares, "Please stop looking at me like that?"
Veldora had his eyebrow raised, Rimuru and Shion looked speechless and Diablo looked slightly disappointed at Yuura, but Velzard just had a smug smile on her face, "Let me guess, Kevin?"
Yuura's face just went alight with a crimson hue, "Ho-how did you… did you know?"
"Please. Everyone in Eden knows about you guys. We've all been patiently waiting for something to happen, Simon will be thrilled to know that it happened finally. So tell me, how did it happen?"
"Well, it happened because we both drank last night and…"
"Hold on hold on hold on!" Velzard stopped Yuura when she realized something, "Are you saying that you skipped the entire dating process and just went to fourth base immediately?"
Yuura looked at Velzard with confusion amongst her timidness, "Well didn't you and Master do that?"
"Oh yeah. I guess monsters probably have no sense of dating whatsoever and would only have a relationship for the desire of procreation." Velzard realized that Yuura and Kevin and hers and Simon's relationship progression were pretty much the same.
And that progression was simple, there was none. Velzard had only now realized that she never really knew when she found out about her live for Simon, it just seemed to happen.
Velzard wasn't unhappy about this though, in the end, she's the one who got her ultimate prize no matter the means to getting it.
"Bottom line is Simon wouldn't care at all about colleagues dating, if anything, Simon would most likely approve of it."
" Approve of what?"
Everyone turned to the door and saw the source of the voice. They saw me, Shizu and Gehrman walk in, " This is a weird combination of individuals here. Back to what you guys were saying, what would I approve of?"
Velzard looked towards Yuura, " Yuura has something to say."
Yuura took a deep breath and steadied her nerves, " Me and Kevin are in a relationship." Yuura closed her eyes, expecting a punishment.
But after waiting for too long, nothing happened. She opened her eyes and found those two just staring at her.
Gehrman: " Huh, you called it."
Simon: " Yep, now Nyx owes me five gold coins."
Yuura could only stare at them dumbfounded, 'THEY BET ON THIS?!'
