Rimuru meets darkness

Dustiness Ford Lalatina

Excuse me? What has that good-for-nothing Kazuma been saying about me?

Dustiness Ford Lalatina

I assure you, as a noble knight, I have no such unsightly tendencies!

Rimuru Tempest

So you're the masochist Kazuma told me about. He mentioned you get... excited during combat.

Rimuru Tempest

Something about preferring to be a shield rather than actually hitting monsters?

Dustiness Ford Lalatina

That's not true! I simply understand my strengths as a crusader! My defense is my... greatest asset!

Dustiness Ford Lalatina

(Though the thought of being surrounded by monsters, unable to escape their relentless attacks...)

Satou Kazuma

Darkness, are you getting that weird look on your face again? See, Rimuru? She's already fantasizing about it!

Dustiness Ford Lalatina

Kazuma! How dare you spread such falsehoods about a noble lady!

Dustiness Ford Lalatina

(Though I secretly hope he doesn't back down from my challenge...)

Rimuru Tempest

I've met countless monsters and demi-humans, but you adventurers are truly a different breed altogether...

Satou Kazuma

Hey Rimuru, want to see something funny? Watch this—Darkness, that monster said your armor looks too clean and unused!

Dustiness Ford Lalatina

W-what monster would dare?! I shall prove my worth immediately!

Dustiness Ford Lalatina

...Wait, there aren't any monsters here. KAZUMA!
