Shizu POV
after dragon-san left I stayed there for a bit and got back to the tent where Eren was waiting after I got back we talked about this village and went to sleep.
and as soon as I slept I saw a nightmare I saw my childhood from when I got summoned to when I killed my only friend after that I got up panicking and ifrit was trying to take control my body was releasing small heatwaves and I tried to control it but it was hard my chest started to tighten and I grabbed my chest and tried to control it but it didn't work but suddenly it got back to normal like it didn't even happen I then quickly run to my mask and put it on ' that was close' i thought that and put on my cloth and went to the same cliff as yesterday but this time to look at the town
" do you like our town?" dragon-san said with his adorable smile
" yes, very much," I said taking my mask off and smiling
Rimuru POV
I was doing my daily patrols seeing the progress of the village and I was happy with it after a while of patrolling I get to the tent Shizu was staying at but suddenly I could feel the spirit inside her trying to take control. I didn't want her to lose control so I increased her resistance a bit, after that, she regained control and reached for her mask and put it on. I then move away from the tent and got back to see the process of the village after a while I finished and headed to where Shizu was and find her looking at the town
" do you like our town?" I said while walking towards her
" yes, very much," she said taking off her mask and smiling
" If that's the case you could stay as much as you want, Shizu-san."
" Thank you... but I have to go" she said With a sad expression
" If I stay here, I might bring trouble for you." She said smiling but I can see in her eyes that she was sad we stayed silent for a while and I said
" Well, life is too short to carry a heavy burden in one's heart. if you ever need a pillar to make it Lighter I'm here for you" I said smiling ( well it doesn't work for him tho )
as I said that she looked at me surprised but then she snapped out of it and said
" Thank you," she said with a beautiful smile but this time it wasn't fake
" Well you could come back anytime you want"
" Ok, Thank you," she said with an even beautiful smile
after that, we both said goodbye and I went to our work and she went to her tent to repair for her departure. after I finished doing the work I go to where they are to say goodbye
" ahhh, they finally came," said kaval with an exhausted look
" Jeez, why do women take so long to get ready?"
" SHUT UP-" as she said that Shizu stopped moving and she suddenly started to scream grabbing her chest ' i guess she can't hold it back anymore' i thought that and said
" Rigurd evacuate all the Citizens"
" yes lord Rimuru," he said and started to evacuate the citizens
" SHIZU-SAN" Eren shouted
"r-run.." Shizu said while trying to hold back
and Shizu kneeled and the mask started to crack and a fire started to emerge all over her body, the fire started to go upwards and started to form black clouds, after that, Shizu stopped screaming and started floating in the air she then released a heatwave pushing everyone except me
" Hey, you three go evacuate with the citizens," I said turning to the three idiots
" no, we won't abandon Shizu-san"
" wait, Shizu? isn't she Shizue Izawa the conquer of flames?!" kaval said with a surprised look
I sigh and teleport them out of the village. after I teleported them out I focused on Shizu and put up a dimensional barrier so that the outer world won't know what I'm about to do and to keep those idiots away from here
" you must be ifrit," I said while approaching him
"..."
" not going to say anything well that's rude," I said with a sinister smile and released a bit of my aura
as I did that he fell on his knees and started to tremble, I continued walking to him and his face become pale
" huh, are you going to cry little one" as I said that he stopped trembling and fainted
"I guess he's just a small fry," I said in a disappointed tone
I then started separating ifrit from Shizu, after they got separated I started creating a new body, I made the body more powerful and durable. after I finished making the body I took out Shizu's soul and put it in the newly made body
" hey Ciel create an egoless spirit and fuse it with Shizu"
Understood master, creating a superior spirit...
Successful, Merging it with the individual named Shizue Izawa...
successful, master please name the spirit
" the spirit's name will be Uzume"
The Void Dragon has named the superior fire spirit Uzume
Evolving the named spirit into a Spirit King known as Uzume The Great spirit of the sun
" oh, it turned into a Spirit King?"
it's to be expected, you are the one who named it, after all,
Acquisition of the hero egg successful
" huh? she even got a hero egg I guess she has a lot of potential"
yes master I agree
after that, I disabled the barrier and let rigurd know that Shizu and I are ok and that we will be coming soon. after I told him that he let the villagers come back and explained the situation, at first the three idiots were reluctant but they gave in and go back to their tents.
after I saved Shizu I took her to my imaginary space and laid her on the bed for her to rest and since we are in my imaginary space, time doesn't affect it so she can take as long as she wants to recover.
Shizu POV
after I fainted due to ifrit taking control I find myself in a dark place filled with only darkness and nothing else ' Am I dead' I thought that and started walking.
after a while of walking, I saw my sensei, after I saw her I ran towards her screaming but she points me in the other direction and disappear. I look at what she pointed at and saw my mother seating in front of a house after I saw her I ran towards her and hugged her
"MOTHER," I said while crying
"it's ok my dear, it must be tough," she said while patting my head
after I cried for a while and calmed down a bit she started talking
" Shizu I know you're happy to see me but you have to go"
"But why," I said in a sad tone
" well, you will be waking up soon," she said smiling and she started to disappear
" Goodbye mother," I said covering my face with my hands
after that, I woke up and looked around and see a beautiful sky full of stars, I was amazed at how beautiful it was. after I admired the stars I looked around me and see dragon-san sitting there and looking at me with his beautiful smile
' wait was he looking at me the whole time I was sleeping' i thought as my face turned red
"hi," he said smiling seeing my face blushing
" H-Hello d-dragon-san," I said my face turning even redder, as he saw that he giggled and said
" so how are you feeling?"
"I feel fine but how am I still alive?" I ask looking at my perfect body
" not only that but my whole body feels like it's new"
" yes I created a new body for you that's why you feel like that," he said
' wait he can create a body is that even possible not even Demon Lord Leon can do that'
"I know you have questions feel free to ask," he said
" then who are you?" as I said that he got up from his seat and said
" My Name Is Rimuru Tempest.." as he said that this place started shaking and I can see Dragon-san turning into a big dragon the size of multiple mountains combined he was so big that I can't see how big his body is going. after that, he lowered his head down so that he can see me and said
( i know it's not the same picture but I couldn't find a picture more suitable than this)
( i know it's not the same picture but I couldn't find a picture more suitable than this)
" The Void Dragon, The Oldest True Dragon," He said in a majestic tone, I couldn't believe my eyes and ears he was the oldest? doesn't that make him the older brother of the creator of this world
" d-does that mean you are the real creator of the world?" I said nervously which he replied with a giggle and turned into his human again and said
"No need to be nervous I'm the same dragon as before." He said with a smile which make me calm down
"And as for your question, that's right but we created this world together." He said and started explaining. He told me that he was the first existence and that he was the most powerful, he explained everything to me.
" So that's how it is, I'm sorry for your loss," I said lowering my head
" Don't worry about it I was sad at first but I think I should make this world a better place before reviving him." He said in a sad tone
" By the way, it goes without saying that you should keep this a secret"
"Of course but why did you tell me all this?"
"Well, I have a feeling that I can trust you." He said showing his beautiful smile. after he said that my face turned red he saw that and smiled brighter.
"T-Thank you Dragon-san," I said looking at the ground embarrassed
" Uh, Shizu could you call me by my name it kinda wearied that you call me that." He said scratching his head
As he said that my face turned red thinking about calling him by his first name.
"Ok R-Rimuru-San," I said covering my face
"Thanks, Shizu," he said that and patted my head I don't know why but it feels good.
After that, we headed back to the village but surprisingly it's only evening I wanted to ask rimuru-san but I let it go. after I arrived there kavals party hugged me and asked me a lot of questions and I answered all except my conversation with rimuru-san.
END OF CHAPTER 7
I was wondering, should I make Shizu a side character like Kurobe who doesn't have that much screen time or should I let her get close to rimuru
