"You definitely don't deserve to experience that." Being a little bold, Rimuru decided to gently hold one of Stella's hands.

"Geez, you must have tunnel vision when it comes to food."

"...Would you like some mochi to go instead?"

Rimuru pats Iruma on the head. He orders a dozen pile of mochi for the boy.

"Very sure. But what about you...?"

"The fear of trying something you never did before is always scary." He reaches for a mochi and kisses it. "But with the right person to help you, it's worth taking a dive."

If only she just realized that was an indirect kiss. "So...you wanna wait a bit before taking the dive?"

"Sounds good to me. I'll be right beside you, probably teasing you as well."

He has a feeling she's going to probably spoil him or something....

"T-Thank you...but uh...can you ease up on the hugging a little...?"

"Well that's not fair. Then I forbid you teasing me as well."

Immediately tries to take the camera from her.

"M-Maybe a little~."

"I'm eating that camera when I get my hands on it."

"Again, you so lucky that you're cute..." Now he's pouting.

"What makes you so certain?"

Smug grin. "Now why would I do that to the beautiful girl that I might have a thing for?"

"Definitely. I get to see your cute face now~."

"We'll see about that...cutie~."

"...Ow." He rubs his head a little. Though, it didn't really hurt.
