- You hit like a girl, you know?

- I am a girl and I wasn't even doing my best!

Rimuru said as I took a moment to process what Rimuru said.

- ......... what again?

- I wasn't even doing my best.

- No, before that!

I said with a little bit shock while still pedaling the cycle.

- I am a girl?

"....."

- Hahahaha. Nice joke there.

I said after a slight pause.

- I am not joking! Who jokes about their gender?!

Rimuru said while pouting.

I was at shock and looked at Rimuru. Suddenly, I had some flashbacks.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Flashback- After Rimuru got a human body

- Oh.. You look totally different.

- Y-You don't look t-totally shock as I thought you would be.

Rimuru's cheek were red.

- Hm? What happened? You are red.

Rimuru then ran from there.

- NOTHING!!!!!

I was confused a bit at this.

A few minutes after that, a female hobgoblin came inside my tent and gave me a shirt as I wasn't wearing a shirt due to it getting burned during the fight with Ifrit. As she was walking out, she was laughing.

"I LITERALLY SHOWED MY BODY TO A GIRL! NOW I UNDERSTAND WHY THAT FEMALE GOBLIN WAS LAUGHING!"

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Second Flashback

- You look good in that outfit and also why did you come here?

- Thanks for the compliment but... can't I even meet a friend?

I said as I brushed Rimuru's hair with my hands. Rimuru's face became red due to that. I could see Shion giving me a death glare at me while I could see Meliodas completely shocked about something.

"I JUST BRUSHED HER HAIR WITH MY HAND!! I WAS A TOTAL SHY GUY IN MY PAST LIFE SO I NEVER TALKED WITH ANY GIRL AND NEITHER DID THEY WANT TO TALK TO ME!! NOW I UNDERSTAND, WHY THAT DAMN MELIODAS WAS SHOCKED BECAUSE HE KNEW THAT RIMURU WAS A GIRL BUT HE DIDN'T EVEN TELL ME!!"

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Third Flashback- During the fight with Ifrit.

- Hm? Your colour seems to change a bit.

- N-No. Slimes don't change colors!!

"I WILL DIE FROM EMBARRASSMENT"

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Fourth Flashback- After the fight with Orc Disaster

- I know what you are thinking about.

I said knowing that he was thinking all this time that I was living in a hole inside the forest.

(Just imagine Hanma touching Rimuru's both cheeks.)

Hanma got behind Rimuru and touched both of Rimuru's cheeks with his fingers and made his face into a smile.

- By the way, you look good with a smile. Hehehehe.

I leaned my face closer to his right ear and whispered.

- If you want, you can come visit my nation. It's fun there.

I whispered with a smile on my face.

- Ahhhh!!! What are you doing?

"I HAD DONE THAT JOKINGLY JUST TO ANGER RIMURU FOR FUN! I DIDN'T KNEW HE WAS A GIRL! I MEAN SHE!"

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Flashback End

I was having a lot of thoughts in my mind because of which I lost the control of the cycle.

- LOOK FRONT!! AAAHHH!!! WE ARE GOING TO FALL!!!

Rimuru shouted as we fell down on the river. The river was not so deep so my body didn't sink in there.

I was still in shock after what I heard. After calming myself, I looked at Rimuru who was still on the ground, water to be precise.

- I am sorry. I lost my focus for a reason.

I said as I stood up.

- What reason?

- Nothing.

I said as I forwarded my hand towards Rimuru to help her up.

She smiled as she took my hand and stood up.

I looked at her and my face got a little red. She was looking at her clothes as it was all wet.

- Sorry, because of me your clothes got all wet.

- No, it's okay.

She said as she looked at me and saw my face. Seeing her looking at my face, I slightly looked towards the left.

- Are you okay? It looks like you have catched a cold due to your clothes being wet.

I didn't tell before but I was wearing the classic Hanma outfit, an oversized white Henley shirt with buttons, cropped black skinny jeans.

I looked at my shirt to see that it was wet because of which she was thinking that I might have got a cold.

She then walked a little closer to me. She jumped and tried to touch my forehead with her hand but she was too short to reach it.

- Can't you crouch down a little?

- I am fine, really.

Hearing my words, her face showed that she trusted my words.

- So, what were you thinking because of which you had us fall on the WATER?

She said calmly at first and then in anger at the last word.

- Uh..... I kinda all of this time thought that you were a boy.

- Huh?

I explained to her that how she had never ever shown a sign that she was was a girl except for her face turning red which I didn't tell her about.

- Come here.

She signaled me with her hand to crouch down a little. I crouched a little to come to her height and she hit me on the head.

- Aww! What was that for?

I said while touching my head where she had hit.

- I didn't show you any sign that I was a girl!! I literally look a girl!!

I started to look at her chest which she had noticed.

- So, you have chosen death?

After getting another hit on the head, she began talking again.

- As I was telling, I literally look like a girl!! I have long blue hair and everything!!

- But your speaking style isn't anything like-

I couldn't finish my sentence as I saw her glaring at me.

- Uh... Nothing. My bad. Hehehehe.

I said laughing a little bit at the end.

- Hanma-san!

I heard Subaru shouting and looked towards the source of the sound.

(.)

I saw Subaru and Shuna standing at the top and waved at them.

- Uh... I think that we came at the wrong time. We should go.

- Y-Yeah. I think you're right.

Shuna said as he began walking away with Subaru.

After hearing their words, I couldn't understand why they were walking away. So, I looked at Rimuru and then at me and looked at our wet clothes. After some seconds or so, I understood what they were meaning to say.

- W-WAIT! I THINK YOU GOT SOMETHING WRONG!!

I shouted and began running towards them.

- WAIT!! HE'S RIGHT YOU HAVE GOT IT ALL WRONG!!!

Rimuru said as she ran towards them.
