Chapter 17 - Storm is coming

In my tent Shuna comes to wake me up from my afternoon nap.

Shuna: "Lady Selene it is time for lunch" I bow to her to greet her as she stretches while yawning.

"Ahh! good afternoon, Shuna is it time already? to meet Shion and Rimuru at the shop." as I transform into my human form.

Shuna: "Yes lady Selene may we go" for me to bow to her with my eyes closed as I'm moving out of the way for her to leave.

Seeing her still being so formal, I decided to tease her a little. I walk over to her and stand in front of her putting my hand on her cheek.

Shuna: Opening my eyes with a shock expression, due to Lady Selene putting her hand on my cheek.

Leaning down to whisper in her ear as she blushes "what have I told you about being so formal when it's just us huh? call me Selene and in front of the others call me Lady not lord." Moving away from her ear I give her a kiss on her cheek before heading out of my tent.

Shuna: Placing my hand on my cheek in shock while I snap out of it with my face still red like a tomato, I leave the tent to catch up with her and saying to her "yes my lady I will try not to be so formal."

Smiling I nod and grab her hand, as we head to her shop to meet the others.

Walking in while I'm still holding Shuna's hand, I see Rimuru with Shion for Shion is holding Rimuru in his natural form. I called out to Rimuru " hey sorry for being late, did you guys wait long?"

Rimuru: Hearing Selene callout, Shion turns to face them so I can see them. And when she does, I see Selene holding Shuna's hand as she's smiling. Feeling irritated I smile as it shows that I'm slightly irritated and say "no we just got here" as I snuggle under both of Shione breast to get back at her.

Still smiling I tc to Rimuru saying " I didn't know I was still holding Shuna's hand I just did it so we wouldn't be late, but two can play that game" for me to end the tc and put my arm around Shuna's waist as I pull her closer to me.

Shuna: "Ha... here they go again" as I put my fingers up to my temples.

Shione: "I know...I wish they would just admit they both have feelings for each other" being that Rimuru had already switched to his humanoid form holding my hand.

Rimuru: "HEY! I do not have any feelings for Selene."

"Shion's right! I don't know why you just won't admit it! That you have feeling for me!"

Rimuru: "Then why won't you admit that you're my true lover and my other destined one then!"

Staring at Rimuru with a stern glare as he returns my glare with the tension raising making everyone in the shop sweat.

Shuna: "Lady Selene and Lord Rimuru let me go get your clothes and let's go to have lunch." Breaking the tension between lady Selene and lord Rimuru for them to break their contact just to look away from each other as they cross their arms and pout like children. Shake my head, and smile as I walk away to go get their clothes thinking 'that this is what makes them cute.'

(20 minutes later)

Shuna: We reach the place we are going to be having lunch for we to enter to see Benimaru, Souie, and Hikurou with them looking at us. To see me and Shion between Lady Selene and Lord Rimuru while they'd given us looks of pity.

After Shuna and Shion had gone to make meals for me and Rimuru when we had taken our seats while me and Rimuru still are not looking at each other.

Benimaru: Sensing that I should not pry I asked, "Lord Selene and Lord Rimuru what have brought the two of you here today?"

Rimuru: Well Shion wanted to cook for the two of us, and Shuna was with us when Shion had announced it a few days ago, so Shuna had offered to help with making the food with her.

Benimaru: The nervous expressions that had once appeared on our faces were replaced with sighs of relief when we heard Shuna was also helping with making the food with Shion.

Curious I asked, "is Shion cooking really that bad? for I'm asking because of how you all had looks of nervousness? that had been replaced with relief when you all heard Shuna was helping."

As I think 'I know in the anime they made it seem like Shion cooking was absolutely shit even with how they made it look too, when she died and had gotten that skill that had made it taste better but it still looked like shit.'

Hikurou: "Lady Selene let's just say that your lucky Lady Shuna is also helping."

Shion: "What did you say about my cooking to Lord Selene and Lord Rimuru" as I released my aura with bloodlust.

All of us breaking into a nervous sweat or should I say a cold sweat making me I say with a shaky smile "the food is ready already? what did you make for us; I can't wait to try it".

Shion: Absorbing my bloodlust and aura I smile "I am sorry for making the both of you wait Lord Selene and Lord Rimuru, lady Shuna had helped me with making soup with some game meat that was hunted earlier today."

Shuna: Coming out with the tray that has Lady Selene and Lord Rimuru food, I smile when I reach them and say "Shion did a good job making the food, all I did was prepare it and helped her cook it by checking the meat. She tried her best to make sure that it was the best for the two of you, but she did all the seasoning and cooking herself."

Getting up I walk up to Shion and standing in front of her I pat her head as I smile saying "you must've really tried your hardest to make the best meal you could have, I am really proud of you." As I turn around and go back to my seat.

Shion: With tears going down my face when Lady Selene had turned around and went back to her seat I started to cry. Crying "Ah!... ha... Ahh!..." as I wipe my eyes, I make lady Selene stand up frantically as she looks nervous.

Standing in front of Shion as I'm frantically trying to figure out what is wrong with Shion I ask "what...what is it? did I something you didn't like? did you not want me to pat your head."

Rimuru: Sighing as I make Selene look at me to be as if asking for help, I giggle "Selene, have you given Shion any attention since you have named her last week? after assigning her to be my bodyguard."
