Chapter 29: Chapter 29- Huh! You loli again

As Gojo completed saying his words, his sight discovered the Loli standing next to Vero.

'This Loli, why is she always with us now? I hate her deceiving appearance.' Gojo thought.

Arc POV

"Why is my body still weak, how much is this gonna take for me to recover," I muttered to myself after waking up and feeling the weakness of my body which made me feel even worse than what a disabled person might feel.

"I don't know others are still recovering from it and you are weak from them so it might take you a longer time to get to being normal again." I heard these words coming from the direction of my room's entrance.

It was the annoying Rimuru, who was now entering the room I was in.

"Why are you here? Are you not supposed to be with the other team for going on the hunt of peacock monsters?" I asked because from what I observed till now about Rimuru he is a very self-centred person and only puts profit before everything else, and it was even more when I heard about the father of Rimuru owning such a big secret and high-profile company.

"Of course, I would have gone on a hunt with them if not for Gojo telling me to protect a weakling like you especially when you are in a near vegetative state," Rimuru said and I didn't know how to react to this. I mean I do have the task of Gojo to complete but it still does not make sense why he is so fixated on protecting me.

"Anyway, as you can't move. It would have been boring to be lying alone all by yourself. Why don't I tell you my jokes, you will certainly feel better at least mentally that way?" I listened while seeing the innocent grin on Rimuru's face but to me, it looked like the creepy smile of a death reaper.

"No.." I said quickly without thinking of any reason because I didn't want to start spitting those jokes which can even make some watching motivational days demotivate in just a few minutes.

"What do you mean by No? I thought you liked my jokes, don't you like them?" Rimuru was looking at me with a stare like he was a police officer interrogating a criminal.

"Of course, I do like them. Um, I mean to say that I have seen the fighting style of all people except you in the whole team. You didn't seem too happy using OE back there. What is your main weapon and can you show a few tricks about it if you don't mind? I was thinking of picking some skills from you." I just said whatever reason I made during that 'Um' and 'Actually' word pause.

"Is that so? If I tell you the truth, now is not my main weapon where I am most good. My preference is a Boomerang type of weapon, they are fun and easy to use. I have learnt many tricks and techniques related to it as I was so fond of it…." Rimuru's talkative nature took over him and he kept blabbering about questions I asked.

I was surprised that my casually made guess in that hurried state was true and it's not his actual weapon.

"Hey, Are you even listening to what I am saying?" Rimuru was waving his hand in front of me.

"Why would you even think that I was not listening to you, you were talking about the thing of your favourite weapon," I said this as it was the main topic of our conversation and this reply cannot be denied.

"Okay, I am done with just speaking theories about weapons and their uses. Now, I should show you it by doing a practical." Saying this, Rimuru just opened the button of the bag bound to the waist and picked two small metallic shining boomerangs.

I was embarrassed to say these boomerangs were small, nearly only hand size, but their edges were gleaming with light and sharpness that was terrifying to look at.

He did quite the tricks with his hand and boomerang-like a magician and performer.

Next, all I saw was a blurry image of his hand with a sound.

'Swoosh'

A wind blowing from the side of my ear was felt.

Then a sound of something attacking the wall behind me was heard as I was still looking toward the Rimuru in shock at what was happening around me.

With a Swoosh sound again appearing on my ear side. A fast image passed my eyes. I could make a picture of something like a boomerang.

'It's his damn boomerang.' I screamed in my mind as I could not scream in reality due to the situation.

"Have you seen that, it was one of the many skills I practiced with boomerangs." Guess what did I do that boomerang.

"Hit the target and return to hand." I was left speechless for a long time realizing that if Rimuru had missed or made a slight mistake then the target would be his head.

"And what do you think was the target?" Rimuru had a smirk on his face when asking me this.

I wanted to argue and ask what the hell he was smirking for, he just could have killed me if slightly missed. But didn't have the energy to argue with anyone especially this energy tank talker, from whom no one could win in talking.

"It was the wall behind me. You know, it does not take a complicated equation to know that." I was irritated by looking at his smug face so I just added all that irritation in my answer with an annoyed tone.

"You idiot why would I make the wall a target when I am trying to show you my skills and ability in this weapon? Anyway, let me tell you, I was aiming the waving laces of your cloth, and I have cut it in half." Rimuru said with a disappointed look.
