Looking at the ragged, filthy "beggar" before him, whose features were impossible to make out, Rimuru found himself uncertain.
After all, the man before him was simply too disheveled.
He was practically a completely different person from the handsome, imposing Veldora of old!
"Wuu wuu wuu~~, Ruo'uo, did you ha' to hi' me? I only said a few words! It hurths!!!"
The man who was clearly Veldora covered his face, which now looked like a pig's head, and whimpered.
"Hmph. You should be grateful I didn't beat you to death!"
Ruotuo snorted coldly as he loosened up his hands.
Watching this scene, Rimuru could not help feeling embarrassed.
This pig-headed guy was Veldora!?
This was... a little too...
Rimuru was rendered speechless by Veldora's current appearance.
After complaining to Ruotuo for a while, Veldora looked at the vicious aura radiating from Ruotuo and no longer dared to mutter another word.
Then, belatedly, he remembered the other culprit.
Veldora looked resentfully at Rimuru with eyes swollen down to the size of mung beans.
Feeling Veldora's intense resentment, Rimuru gave an awkward smile, then walked straight over to his Ari and pretended not to notice.
Seeing this, Veldora's tiny mung-bean eyes widened in disbelief. But after looking at Mo Li beside Rimuru, then at Ruotuo glaring at him fiercely from the side, he could only trudge miserably toward a corner of the control room.
Then he squatted down, drew circles on the floor, and kept muttering to himself.
Seeing this, everyone in the control room wisely turned their gazes elsewhere.
Ruotuo snorted disdainfully, while Rimuru smiled awkwardly.
Mo Li had been uninterested in this farce from the very beginning.
Once the matter was more or less settled, everyone gradually turned their attention back to the ground forces displayed on the large screen.
