[That gets another laugh from Shiro. It's definitely a warm laugh, though, not one meant to be at Guzma's expense. Guzma is way too much like Rin (one of Shiro's sons) for Shiro to be too mean to him.
He gives Guzma a bow that is a bit exaggerated, as if to say 'taking the stage now', and then he turns to the slimes, crouching down to their level to speak frankly with them.]
Hey. I know you probably just want to play and all, but it's a little hard to play games when you melt stuff that you touch. Think you could lay off on it for a bit?
[That's always his first step to problem-solving: ask nicely. Everyone deserves the chance to have a conflict resolved peacefully, or so Shiro thinks.
That does get the slimes to pause for a moment, during which time Shiro glances over his shoulder and gives Guzma a thumbs-up. But during that moment, the slimes start advancing again.]
