### š *Tensura: Multiversal Shenanigans*
**Arc 3 ā Komi Can't Communicate**
**Chapter 22: The Pink Tornado Invades Gym Class (Part 2)**
---
**\[Scene: Gym Field ā Relay Lanes Marked, Sun High Overhead]**
**Komi** took her position beside **Milim**, sweat trickling down her cheekānot from exertion, but pure *terror*. All eyes were on the unlikely pair.
**PE Teacher (clapping):** "Ready... Setā"
**Milim (to Komi, whispering):** "Let's fly, bestie."
**PE Teacher:** "āGo!"
---
**\[Milim exploded forward like a pink firework.]**
**Komi, wide-eyed, blinkedā**
And Milim was **already halfway down the field**, dragging Komi *effortlessly* like a balloon caught in a hurricane. A stunned silence fell over the class as wind tore through the field.
**Tadano (jaw dropped):**
> "...She's carrying Komi like a princess. While sprinting Mach 2."
**Veldora (solemnly):** "That, my friend, is the pinnacle of buddy cardio."
---
**\[End of race. Komi stands shakily, her hair frazzled.]**
**Milim (laughing):** "That was *amazing*! You were like a really elegant kite!"
**Komi (trembling):** *H-how am I aliveā¦*
She shakily pulled out her notebook and scribbled:
> "C-Can I walk next time?"
**Milim (gasps):** "Of course! I'll walk with you! We'll stroll like elegant princesses of the wind!"
Komi's soul visibly left her body for a second.
---
**\[Nearby, Rimuru watched the scene, sighing.]**
**Rimuru (to Ciel):**
> "Think I should've stopped her?"
**Ciel:**
> "Statistical models predicted a 76% chance Komi would experience spiritual growth. And a 12% chance of air-sickness."
**Rimuru:** "...So you *let it happen*."
**Ciel:** "Correct."
---
**\[Meanwhile, Ramiris had discovered dodgeball.]**
Or rather, *declared war* on it.
**Ramiris (mid-air):** "I summon the Orb of Fiery Punishment!"
She hurled a dodgeball so fast it *phase-shifted* through dimensions before smacking a pole and ricocheting backāonly to hit **Rimuru** square in the face.
**Rimuru (muffled):** "Why do I even bring herā¦"
---
**\[Veldora stood before the hurdles, arms crossed.]**
**Veldora:** "These trialsā¦ these miniature wallsā¦ dare to defy a dragon?!"
He charged. Instead of *jumping*, he **tackled every single hurdle**, flipping each one like a war banner.
**Tadano (concerned):**
> "I don't think he understands sports."
**Student A (watching in awe):**
> "Is thisā¦ is this what foreign training looks like?"
---
**\[Lunch break ā Courtyard]**
**Milim and Komi sat under a tree. Milim was feeding her takoyaki, one piece at a time.**
**Milim:** "You gotta eat fast, or Ramiris will snatch them!"
**Komi (quietly chewing, heart pounding):** *She'sā¦ she's feeding me food.*
Komi gently scribbled something in her notebook and held it out:
> "...Thank you for being my friend."
**Milim (eyes sparkling):** "KYAAAA!! KOMI-CHAN I'M GONNA CRY!"
She hugged her with a force that nearly took out the entire tree.
---
**\[End-of-day ā Club Announcements echo in background.]**
**Rimuru (checking a magic sigil in his sleeve):** "Ciel, status?"
**Ciel:**
> "No abnormal magical anomalies detected. Howeverā¦ Komi Shouko's social stats have increased by 4%."
**Rimuru (smiling):** "That's progress."
**Milim (from afar):** "Rimuuuu! Komi smiled at me!"
**Komi (covering her red face with her notebook):** "!!!"
---
**\[Final panel: Komi walking between Rimuru and Milim, holding a juice box quietly. Milim's talking nonstop, and Komi just nods, smiling faintly.]**
**Caption:**
> *A girl who cannot speak. A pink-haired chaos engine. And a multiversal slime with a mission.
> Somehow, this is working.*
