[Tensura] I Was a Doctor, But Reincarnated as a Dragon? Chapter 65 65: The Valley and Camping

Dazzling sunlight and fresh air. A forest of deep, vivid green. The sound of the river flowing and birds singing.

"This is nice... The birds are singing, the flowers are blooming, and just sitting here makes feel at ease."

Eek—

Ahahaha!!

Splash!!

Vertis watched the children playing in the valley in their swimsuits, splashing water around.

Class S had co out to camp at a valley about an hour from the capital of Ingrasia, on the pretext of teaching the children things they could not learn at the academy.

"Still, I'm surprised Yuuki actually gave permission."

Even if they were still children, they possessed trendous power. Knowing that, there was no way Yuuki would have agreed easily...

"Heh heh... I had a plan."

The beginning of it all went back two days.

"You know very well that those children are in unusual circumstances. Letting them leave the city carries too much risk."

"We're just going to enjoy a little camping by a nearby riverside."

"Even as chairman, I can't approve that. However—"

Yuuki said that as he pulled out a school swimsuit with Rimuru's na written on it.

"If Teacher Rimuru, who always cares so deeply for the students, were to put on this swimsuit I prepared and happily enjoy playing in the water... then I, Yuuki Kagurazaka, might be willing to approve it. Ah, why don't you try changing right here first?"

With a suspicious smile, his secretary brought over a simple changing booth along with a girl's swimsuit.

If Shizu had been there, she might have very reasonably suspected Yuuki of being a lolicon, but Rimuru also brought out a trump card.

"You know that manga artist whose work you said moved you so much the other day? They started a weekly serialization in a different magazine after that. I figured Yuuki Kagurazaka would want to read it."

Rimuru in a swimsuit, or a new series by his favorite manga artist.

Between desire and desire, Yuuki chose the greater one: comic books.

*

Rimuru wisely chose not to say any of that out loud, while beside him Vertis casually created a tent with [Uranus].

"That said, I didn't expect there to be swimsuits. Though the design is a little old-fashioned."

"We got them from Yuuki."

"...That bastard. So he did have normal ones too."

For so reason, Rimuru ground his teeth.

"By the way, where's Shizu?"

"She went into the forest earlier to change into her swimsuit."

"Did she?"

"But since we ca all the way out here, aren't you going to wear one too?"

"I don't really plan on playing in the water, but... there. Good enough?"

With a snap of Vertis's fingers, his clothes changed in an instant from a doctor's coat to swim trunks.

"All dressed."

Just then, Shizu appeared in her swimsuit. It was an ordinary bikini, but it showed off the beautiful lines of her figure perfectly.

"It suits you."

"Thank you."

Most n would have had their eyes glued to Shizu in a swimsuit, but perhaps because he had spent so much ti around Milim, who dressed even more boldly than Shizu, Vertis felt little particular impact.

"All right, then. Let's warm up and have so fun."

The children loosened up lightly and enjoyed the water in their own ways. Since the river was so clear, so of them caught fish, while others just splashed around and played.

The fish they had just caught flopped with lively energy, but a girl nad Alice seed to be afraid of fish.

"Eek! Don't bring that near !!"

Alice fled in terror, while her doll, Rougebelt, sat there fishing in what looked like an angler's outfit.

Watching the children, Vertis stacked stones into a small cairn.

'Hm... If my calculations are right, within a month a gate to Ramiris's [The House Where Spirits Live] should open sowhere near here.'

When it ca to spirit-related matters, the fastest solution was to take them to Ramiris, the spirit queen, and ask for her help. But because the location of the gate changed periodically, pinpointing it had taken so ti.

'Well, I can go there anyti on my own... but that's exactly the problem.'

He couldn't exactly tell those children, "I'm actually one of the draconic lineage. And a demon lord, too."

As he was worrying over that, Shizu suddenly took his hand and pulled him sowhere.

"Shizu, where are we go—mmph!"

After dragging him deep into the forest, Shizu turned her head, pressed her lips to his, and pushed her tongue inside.

Slurp... slurp... mmf!!

It was a deep, passionate kiss lovers shared. They exchanged saliva and tangled their tongues, and only after a long while did Shizu finally pull away.

"Shizu..."

"Vert... um, I can't hold back anymore."

She was already wet between her legs, but being so close to the valley, it seed no one had noticed.

No, more importantly, here?!

"A-are you sure?"

"Yes. That just makes it more thrilling."

Shizu said that with both cheeks flushed red, while Vertis broke out in a cold sweat. But if he stopped here, he wouldn't be much of a man, so he created a wall that blocked sound around himself and Shizu.

Then Shizu braced herself against a tree and pushed her hips back, and Vertis answered her invitation.

After about an hour of their bodies entwined together, the two of them cleaned themselves up and returned to the valley, since the children would grow suspicious if they were gone too long.

"Haa... haa..."

Because of how intense they had just been, Shizu's hair was slightly disheveled, her face was flushed, and her breathing was rough, but fortunately the children didn't seem to notice.

[Notice. ──]

"....."

Except for Rimuru, who sensed sothing strange about Shizu's condition and heard the details from Great Sage.

After that, the children started playing ball, got too excited, failed to control their strength, and turned the surrounding area into complete chaos. Aside from three trees getting smashed in the process, there were no major problems.

Eventually, it was ti to eat. Rice, ingredients, spices, and the rest had been provided by Laputa and Tempest.

"The rice is already done... but what about the curry?"

"Two girls are working hard on it right now."

"Sorry to keep you waiting. Here cos the curry..."

Why was it that the curry made by those girls reminded him of the twisted underworld cuisine Shion produced?

The words, 'The curry you made is so awful even monsters would be terrified of it,' rose all the way to his throat, but he barely managed to swallow them.

The curry had a suspicious mix of pink, purple, and yellow swirling through it. To any third party, it looked less like food and more like the result of so bizarre experint.

Despite that appearance, even Rimuru hesitated, but Shizu was the first to lift a spoon and taste it.

"It's good, Alice. Chloe."

The children were moved by her praise, and following Shizu's words, the others began tasting it one by one.

"Hm. It tastes like curry."

The color made it look as if poison had been mixed in, but the taste was just normal curry. They had added wild fruit, so it was a little sweeter than usual.

After eating the curry, they finished with simple ice bars, and by the ti they were done, night had already fallen. The sky overhead was filled with beautiful stars.

"There were so many constellations on Earth, but I don't recognize a single one here."

"So what if we don't? Let's make our own constellations. Like a puzzle, connecting dot to dot."

At Rimuru's words, Chloe began linking together the stars that stood out to her.

"If you connect that one, and that one, and that one, it's Teacher Rimuru's constellation!!"

"Huh? Mine?"

"Wait a second. How are you seeing that?"

At Chloe's words, the other children also traced the stars the way she described. And what appeared was—

"Isn't that just a circle?"

It was none other than Rimuru's sli form. Why had Chloe looked at that and thought of Rimuru? Was it just a coincidence? Or else...

As ti passed, the children fell asleep first, and Rimuru, Shizu, and Vertis stayed up late talking together until the day finally ca to an end.
