souei, probably should be writhing in pain: ah yes, perfect time to promote Rimuru-sama's kindness
'Now I don't want to keep great rimuru waiting any longer' what a man 😍😍 hates making someone wait oh a true provider frfr and his smileee a lady killer this oni isss
Aww Rimuru's smile and his tone was so cheery ✨✨✨ and my boy Souei looks so accomplished ❤️
'You never let me down, Souei' GAHHHHHHHHH Rimuru appreciates Souei so much excuse me while I scream into a pillow out of sheer delight 🙈
Oh fuck I think I finally figured out what drew me to the Rimuru/Souei pairing from Tensura and it's because it's a very specific flavor of Ruler x Bodyguard.
Like, obviously, "Powerful Ruler" x "Loyal Bodyguard" is a really good trope (I especially love that trope of the ruler getting attacked and not even flinching cause they know their bodygaurd will protect them). But I specifically love when the bodyguard is less an imposing figure and more a silent shadow. One who appears the second the ruler calls their name, and who vanishes just as quickly once they have their orders.
I don't know it's just such a fun trope. If anyone has fics for other pairings with this dynamic, please, I'm begging on my hands and knees, tell me.
Yesterday, I sorted it out thoroughly in my head
the day you called me by my name
I quietly suppressed the leaping feelings every time you call me
I'm so naive
I do want to know you better
You walk on the outside of the sidewalk, you talk so gently
Those little things slowly piled up in my heart
and finally bloomed into love
But one day I realized
Being that friend whom you can talk to about anything is the most painful thing
I wish there were things
that you couldn't tell me about
My skirt gets soaked in the rain
I wonder what I should tell you
I'm not mad at you or anything
But you see, if it goes on like this
I have a feeling that we won't get any further
だからもう私のこと、名前で呼ばないで
ちゃんと好きになったら呼んで
So please stop calling me by my name
Do it when you are properly in love with me
You complained about the heat in summer
then laughed and said you hated winter because it was cold
Even ordinary things that anyone would have recollection of
carry colors along with them
My skirt flutters in the wind
Words I want to convey to you
pile up like snow
They do melt away
yet traces of footsteps only increase
My shoes are freezing
Winter passes, spring comes along
The last spring that I can spend with you
Would you mind if I trouble you a bit?
I locked up the words "I love you"
I just want to be with you as long as I can
I don't need anything else
私のこと、名前で呼んでいて
まだ好きじゃなくていいから
あなたを好きな私を見て
Please call me by my name
You don't have to fall in love with me just yet
Please look at me, who adore you
I do want to know you better
You take notice of things right away, you squint your eyes when you smile
Every little thing piled up deeply in my heart
then at some point turned into love

傘を持つ手が少し震えていたね。
私たちなら狭いこの傘の中
二人、入れるね？
Your hands holding up the umbrella shivered just a little
Underneath the umbrella, it seems so small when we're together
But the two of us will just about fit, won't we?
誰にも言えない恋をしたまま。
解ってくれる人もいないまま。
We shared a love we couldn't tell a soul about.
Without a soul who could understand.
Even whilst afraid of what people call "normal"
Your lips piled on top of mine,
Nothing got wet as sweetly as they did. Like the rain that hides our destination
Without being understood, or even really trying to be
We we've gone so far to the point of no return,
That I feel I could even love the misfortune of it all.
きっといつの日にか
溶けるようなこの熱愛は
幾人に認められるだろう。
当たり前の夢は。
I'm sure that one day
This ardent love that melts my very heart
Will be recognised by the masses.
That's my oh so ordinary dream.
誰もが知らない恋をしたのだ。
白いドレスを纏う二人なら。
We shared a love that not a soul knew about.
If it could be the two of us, clad in white dresses...
As though to fit in with this narrow and unyielding world
I was born with a body a little smaller than everyone else
As though in order to find you, faster than anyone else.
I politely broke down, one by one
All the decided conventions and rules, that became bundles and swarms
And chose my own happiness.
ちから無く交えた掌はまだ温かく。
「あぁ、生きていくんだ」なんて
ひどく笑うのね。
Our palms gently joining together were so warm
"Aa, we're going to live on, huh"
You laugh almost cruelly.
傘を持つ手を少しずらして遊ぶ。
私たちなら広いこの海の中
生きていけるよね。
Your hands holding the umbrella move a little, playing around.
Within this sea, it seems so wide when we're together
But we'll be able to live through it, won't we.
Whilst enchanted by a dazzling thing called "freedom"
The two of us choose a path that would allow us to stay like this
The corners of your eyes you entrusted to me, were more bewitching than anything else in the world
Without being understood, or even really trying to be
We've become so, hopeful
That I felt I could love even the secrecy to it all.
When I tell you I screamed when I saw them be connected via that wire...omfg I HOLLORED like really let out a throat-scratching shriek.
... I am not normal about them, as this blog has proven.
I genuinely love their dynamic so much bro and it only intensified in this scene. Like Rimuru is so commanding here and Souei only says 'understood' then he's gone until he needs to tell Rimuru something again. While that could raise some eyebrows in other ships, I love it with them because Souei's competence is not dependent on Rimuru's orders. He thinks for himself, acts on his own and follows Rimuru because he chooses to. I could write a paper on them good lord 😩😩
