After all, it was obvious that only one of "Azhdaha" and "Veldora" could survive today!
Meanwhile, Veldora, who had been dragged out by Rimuru, wore a completely baffled expression. He mechanically turned his head toward Rimuru, his face filled with tearless despair as if to say, You set me up.
"Creak—creak—"
Upon hearing that creaking sound, Veldora mechanically turned his head back again and forced an even uglier smile at Azhdaha, one worse than crying. In a pleading tone, he said,

He would probably never find anything more humiliating for the rest of his life.
And Azhdaha had been rather ashamed of that incident as well. After all, even in that state, he
