**[03:07] Yamza**
Tch. A mere Ogre mercenary dares to defy me?
**[03:13] Yamza**
All these losses, just for one deserter?
**[03:24] Hiiro**
I may be no more than an Ogre mercenary,
**[03:27] Hiiro**
but I have a village and precious
comrades I must protect.
**[03:31] Hiiro**
Stopping now is not an option!
**[03:35] Yamza**
You mean those guys lying around there?
**[03:40] Yamza**
Well?
**[03:55] Yamza**
Oh? You gonna come at me?
**[04:06] Yamza**
Whoa, there!
**[04:13] Yamza**
What? Is that all you've got?
**[05:10] Yamza**
You were more trouble than you're worth.
**[05:13] Yamza**
We're outta here.
**[05:23] Hiiro**
Someone... Tell the village...
**[05:31] Spy**
What would you like to do?
**[06:04] Towa**
You mustn't move around yet.
**[06:09] Towa**
Your wounds have not yet healed.
**[06:13] Hiiro**
Where am I?
**[06:17] Hiiro**
And... who are you?
**[06:21] Towa**
I am the queen of the Kingdom of Raja.
**[06:23] Towa**
My name is Towa.
**[06:26] Hiiro**
Raja...
**[06:27] Hiiro**
Towa?
**[06:29] Mobuji**
We found you lying by a stream in
the mountains and brought you here.
**[06:34] Chikuan**
You were in grave danger.
**[06:37] Chikuan**
Do you not remember?
**[06:40] Hiiro**
I see.
**[06:42] Hiiro**
It seems I am in your debt.
**[06:47] Towa**
There is no need for thanks...
**[06:50] Towa**
Hiiro.
**[06:54] Hiiro**
Hiiro?
**[07:25] (Flashback) Hiiro's Subordinate**
Save... him...
**[07:29] (Flashback) Hiiro's Subordinate**
Please...
**[07:42] (Flashback) Towa**
I grant you...
**[07:45] (Flashback) Towa**
the name "Hiiro."
**[08:22] Towa**
Your wounds were severe.
We had no way to heal you.
**[08:29] Towa**
I could only hope giving you a name
to evolve you would be enough.
**[08:33] Towa**
But...
**[08:36] Towa**
I lacked the life force to
give names to all of you.
**[08:42] Hiiro**
My comrades... What happened to them?
**[08:47] Towa**
I thought that if I could just save you...
**[08:51] Towa**
Please forgive me for being so powerless.
**[08:59] Hiiro**
There's nothing you need to apologize for.
**[09:02] Hiiro**
Not when you went out of
your way to care for them.
**[09:07] Hiiro**
I thank you.
**[09:09] Hiiro**
I understand now that you saved me.
**[09:12] Hiiro**
But as I am now...
**[09:16] Mobuji**
Do you intend to return to the Ogre Village?
**[09:18] Hiiro**
Huh?
**[09:19] Chikuan**
You spoke of it time and
time again in your sleep.
**[09:22] Towa**
You were asleep... for ten whole days.
**[09:36] Towa**
Wait, Hiiro!
**[09:39] Guard A**
Hey!
**[09:40] Guard B**
Stop!
**[09:49] Guard A**
H-Hey!
**[10:01] Hiiro**
I need to borrow this!
**[10:03] Hiiro**
I'm sorry!
**[11:37] (Flashback) Kids**
Come on, this way!
**[11:38] (Flashback) Kids**
Wait for us!
**[11:39] (Flashback) Kids**
Wait up!
**[11:40] (Flashback) Kids**
This way!
**[11:42] (Flashback) Kids**
Come on!
**[11:46] (Flashback) Kids**
Hey, hold up!
**[12:34] Hiiro**
This is...
**[12:37] Hiiro**
what was once such a beautiful village?
**[12:42] Hiiro**
I've lost the precious comrades
left to me by the village chief,
**[12:47] Hiiro**
and now my homeland...
**[12:53] Hiiro**
Damned Orcs!
**[12:56] Hiiro**
Curse you all!
**[13:13] Mobuji**
Forgive me, my queen,
but it's been four days.
**[13:17] Mobuji**
It seems unlikely he will return.
**[13:20] Chikuan**
Clearly, we misjudged him.
**[13:23] Chikuan**
He was just a ruffian with
no concept of gratitude.
**[13:31] Towa**
No... Look!
***SIGN*** That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime
***SIGN*** The Scarlet Bond
**[14:04] Gobta**
Find him?!
**[14:05] Gabiru**
No! We've failed!
**[14:15] Gobta**
I can't even sense him!
**[14:17] Gobta**
Where the heck did that old geezer go?!
**[14:20] Hakuro**
You called?
**[14:30] Gabiru**
Oh—
**[14:32] Gabiru**
...noooo!
**[14:43] Hakuro**
You still rely too much
on your sense of sight.
**[14:46] Gabiru**
You're right!
**[14:48] Gabiru**
Teach us again!
**[14:50] Yashichi**
The indomitable Sir Gabiru!
**[14:51] Sukero**
So tough!
**[14:52] Kakushin**
Indeed!
**[14:53] Gobta**
Ow...
**[14:55] Gobta**
Hey, where's Geld?
**[14:57] Hakuro**
He's working.
**[14:59] Hakuro**
He seemed concerned about how
the job was coming along.
**[15:13] Geld**
That should do it.
**[15:21] Gobta**
Man, he's so serious.
**[15:24] Hakuro**
You'd best get serious about
your training, as well.
**[15:30] Soei**
I've received word that Geld is under attack.
**[15:33] Gobta**
No way! Enemies?!
**[15:35] Gobta**
I'll go help him!
**[15:37] Gabiru**
We will go, as well!
**[15:39] Yashichi, Sukero & Kakushin**
Right!
**[15:40] Soei**
I will inform Great Rimuru
and our young master.
**[15:51] Rimuru**
I sent "Youm the champion" and Diablo
out to restore peace in Falmuth...
**[15:57] Rimuru**
But was that the best idea?
**[15:59] Rimuru**
I hope they don't overdo it.
**[16:01] Shuna**
Great Rimuru!
**[16:03] Shuna**
It's unhealthy to push yourself too hard.
**[16:07] Shuna**
Why don't you take a little break?
**[16:09] Rimuru**
Good idea. Thanks, Shuna.
**[16:13] Rimuru**
Let's take a breather.
**[16:14] Shuna**
Of course. Here you go.
**[16:18] Shuna**
For you, too, Shion.
**[16:19] Shion**
Thank you.
**[16:22] Shion**
I'll gladly have some.
**[16:27] Rimuru**
Ah, that's good.
**[16:31] Shion**
Very relaxing.
**[16:42] Rimuru**
Sure is peaceful.
**[16:44] Shuna**
Yes.
**[16:45] Shuna**
I hope it will stay like
this for a good, long time.
**[16:49] Rimuru**
Well said.
**[16:52] Shion**
Oh, that's right!
**[16:54] Rimuru**
What's up, Shion?
**[16:56] Shion**
I baked some of those "cookies"
that you taught me a recipe for!
**[17:02] Shion**
Please have them with your tea!
**[17:04] Rimuru**
*Whoa! Our peace just got shattered!*
**[17:07] Shion**
Go on, dig in!
***SIGN*** Guoooogh
***SIGN*** Guoooogh
***SIGN*** Guoooogh
**[17:15] Shuna**
I-I forgot I was in the middle of my weaving.
**[17:19] Shuna**
If you'll excuse me...
**[17:21] Rimuru**
*She's running away!*
**[17:22] Rimuru**
Hold it, Shuna!
**[17:25] Shuna**
*I'm sorry, Great Rimuru.*
**[17:29] Rimuru**
*A-An afterimage?!*
**[17:31] Shion**
Come, now, Great Rimuru! Don't be shy!
***SIGN*** Guoooogh
**[17:35] Shion**
Go on! Eat up!
**[17:36] Rimuru**
* Just because she has the*
* skill Master Chef now...*
**[17:39] Rimuru**
* doesn't mean the food's*
* appearance isn't important!*
**[17:42] Shion**
Please enjoy them, Great Rimuru!
**[17:43] Rimuru**
*Raphael-san! Got any hints for me?!*
**[17:44] Shion**
Go on! Go on! Go on!
**[17:46] Raphael**
*No, I do not.*
**[17:47] Rimuru**
*Harsh...*
***SIGN*** Guoooogh
**[17:48] Shion**
Go on, now! Eat up!
**[17:52] Rimuru**
H-Hang on, Shion!
**[17:53] Rimuru**
I'm sensing something in the
direction of the forest!
**[17:55] Rimuru**
I should run—I mean, go check it out!
**[17:57] Shion**
Huh?
**[18:00] Soei**
Great Rimuru.
**[18:01] Soei**
Geld is under attack in the forest.
**[18:05] Rimuru**
See? I was right!
**[18:06] Rimuru**
Off I go!
**[18:07] Rimuru**
Wait, he's under attack?!
**[18:41] Hiiro**
Damned Orc remnant!
**[18:44] Hiiro**
You're targeting Tempest now?!
**[19:00] Hiiro**
Are you a spy?!
**[19:02] Hiiro**
You bastard!
**[19:04] Geld**
That horn...
**[19:28] Hiiro**
I will avenge my village!
**[19:31] Hiiro**
Ogre Flame!
**[20:04] Geld**
Did you just say "avenge"?
**[20:07] Geld**
You're from the Ogre—
**[20:41] Soka**
I don't know who you are, but—
**[21:09] Benimaru**
Brother?
**[21:14] Benimaru**
It can't be...
**[21:16] Hiiro**
You're...
**[21:18] Benimaru**
Is that you, Brother?
**[21:22] Benimaru**
You're alive?
**[21:23] Hiiro**
Young master?
**[21:25] Hiiro**
Am I dreaming?
**[21:26] Hiiro**
How are *you* alive?
**[21:28] Hiiro**
The village was destroyed!
**[21:30] Benimaru**
Yes, but I survived.
**[21:33] Benimaru**
I was saved, and even given a name.
**[21:35] Benimaru**
I'm called Benimaru now.
**[21:40] Hiiro**
This is no dream.
**[21:43] Hiiro**
It's too good to be a dream!
**[21:45] Hiiro**
Me, too!
**[21:46] Hiiro**
Hiiro.
**[21:47] Hiiro**
That's my name.
**[21:49] Benimaru**
Hiiro...
**[21:51] Benimaru**
I see.
**[21:52] Benimaru**
You've been named, as well.
**[21:54] Hiiro**
Yes!
**[21:55] Hiiro**
Could there be a happier coincidence?
**[22:00] Hiiro**
How could you protect the Orc
that destroyed our village?
**[22:05] Benimaru**
It's a long story,
**[22:07] Benimaru**
but we've reconciled.
**[22:09] Benimaru**
This is Geld.
**[22:10] Benimaru**
He's a valuable ally of ours here in Tempest.
**[22:14] Hiiro**
An ally?
**[22:24] Hiiro**
No. If you say it's true,
**[22:27] Hiiro**
then the Orcs are no longer our enemy.
**[22:32] Hiiro**
I sincerely apologize for my indiscretion.
**[22:37] Geld**
No, it is true that we
destroyed the Ogre Village.
**[22:42] Geld**
That can never be forgiven,
no matter how many times I apologize.
**[22:51] Subordinate A**
Captain?
**[22:51] Subordinate B**
What's going on?
**[22:53] Hiiro**
This man called Benimaru and I were
friends as children in the Ogre Village.
**[23:01] Shion**
Brother?
**[23:05] Shion**
Impossible...
**[23:07] Shion**
Is it really you?
**[23:12] Hiiro**
All of you...
**[23:14] Hiiro**
And Master, too!
**[23:17] Shuna**
Brother!
**[23:18] Kurobei**
Wow, you sure grew up!
**[23:21] Soei**
It's been too long.
**[23:31] Shuna**
I can't believe you're alive.
**[23:59] Rimuru**
I see.
**[24:01] Rimuru**
So Hiiro-san is your childhood
friend from the Ogre Village, huh?
**[24:04] Benimaru**
Yes. He was as an older brother to us.
**[24:08] Hiiro**
More like a ringleader, really.
**[24:15] Rimuru**
Well, it's easy to see
**[24:17] Rimuru**
that they all really adored you.
**[24:21] Hiiro**
"Adored," eh?
**[24:25] Benimaru**
We consider him our real brother.
**[24:28] Benimaru**
That broken horn is a wound
he received protecting me.
**[24:33] Rimuru**
I see. So it's your badge of manhood!
**[24:36] Shuna**
He also saved me when I was
about to fall off of a cliff.
**[24:41] Shion**
He got into a lot of fights
with Benimaru, too.
**[24:45] Benimaru**
Yeah. I always lost, though.
**[24:48] Hiiro**
Oh, come on.
**[24:50] Hiiro**
I lost sometimes, too.
**[24:52] Kurobei**
He was the strongest one in our village.
**[24:55] Kurobei**
That's why he left home
to work as a mercenary.
**[24:58] Hiiro**
And I took ten others with me.
**[25:01] Hiiro**
But we weren't blessed
with very good employers.
**[25:04] Benimaru**
Which country did you end
up working for, anyway?
**[25:07] Hiiro**
Distave.
**[25:10] Hiiro**
Demon Lord Clayman's domain.
**[25:15] Hiiro**
I thought I'd be able
to make some good money,
**[25:18] Hiiro**
but then I found out the Ogre Village
was about to be attacked,
**[25:22] Hiiro**
so I deserted his army.
**[25:25] Hiiro**
But...
**[25:27] Shuna**
Brother Hiiro...
**[25:30] Hiiro**
No, it's useless to think about it now.
**[25:33] Hiiro**
Right now, I should just be
happy to see all of you again.
**[25:38] Hiiro**
This means my comrades
didn't truly die in vain.
**[25:41] Shion**
That's right!
**[25:43] Shion**
The mere fact that you're alive is a win!
**[25:50] Hiiro**
When I was nearly dead after a battle,
**[25:53] Hiiro**
my life was saved by Queen Towa
of the Kingdom of Raja.
**[25:57] Hiiro**
I serve her now.
**[26:00] Shuna**
And she's the one who named you?
**[26:03] Shuna**
Naming another is a risk to one's own life.
**[26:05] Shuna**
It's not something that can
just be done on a whim.
**[26:08] Hiiro**
Yeah.
**[26:10] Hiiro**
Raja is a very small kingdom that
makes its living mining gold,
**[26:16] Hiiro**
but some time ago, they completely
mined out a large gold vein,
**[26:20] Hiiro**
and it's now a mere shadow of the
prosperous nation it once was.
**[26:26] Hiiro**
Yet even in such trying times,
**[26:28] Hiiro**
Queen Towa is giving of her own life force
**[26:31] Hiiro**
to keep her kingdom, her people, alive.
**[28:15] (Flashback) Mobuji**
Chikuan! How is the queen's condition?
**[28:21] (Flashback) Chikuan**
Not good.
**[28:23] (Flashback) Chikuan**
If she continues to use her magic to
neutralize the toxins from the mines,
**[28:28] (Flashback) Chikuan**
the curse will take over her whole body,
**[28:30] (Flashback) Chikuan**
as it did with the queens
who came before her.
**[28:34] (Flashback) Mobuji**
That tiara...
**[28:36] (Flashback) Mobuji**
The royal family has the ability
to use the tiara's magic
**[28:39] (Flashback) Mobuji**
to neutralize the mine toxins in the lake,
**[28:41] (Flashback) Mobuji**
protecting the people from their poison.
**[28:44] (Flashback) Mobuji**
But...
**[28:46] (Flashback) Hiiro**
In exchange, the wearer absorbs
the Curse Poison in the tiara?
**[28:52] (Flashback) Chikuan**
The queen wouldn't have lost so much of
her life force if she hadn't named you.
**[28:59] (Flashback) Chikuan**
Oh, dear. My tongue slipped.
**[29:02] (Flashback) Chikuan**
Still, I've tried many medicines,
and none worked on the Curse Poison.
**[29:08] (Flashback) Minister**
If we don't mine gold,
**[29:10] (Flashback) Minister**
we can't import enough
food to feed our people.
**[29:14] (Flashback) Mobuji**
Yes, but we can't force the
queen to risk her life further.
**[29:19] (Flashback) Hiiro**
What if we cultivate the
Great Forest of Jura?
**[29:22] (Flashback) Mobuji**
*That* forest?
**[29:24] (Flashback) Hiiro**
We can be self-sufficient in food.
**[29:26] (Flashback) Hiiro**
The people can work the fields,
**[29:28] (Flashback) Hiiro**
and the soldiers and I can hunt.
**[29:30] (Flashback) Minister**
Don't be ridiculous!
**[29:32] (Flashback) Minister**
You're talking about violating a forest
guarded by the Storm Dragon Veldora!
**[29:36] (Flashback) Minister**
You clearly aren't in your right mind!
**[29:39] (Flashback) Mobuji**
Hiiro, you might not know this since you
once lived in the Great Forest of Jura,
**[29:46] (Flashback) Mobuji**
but there is an unspoken agreement
among the surrounding nations
**[29:49] (Flashback) Mobuji**
that the forest is inviolable.
**[29:52] (Flashback) Minister**
Earning the wrath of Veldora would
surely have disastrous consequences.
**[29:57] (Flashback) Minister**
Let a sleeping god lie, as they say!
**[30:00] (Flashback) Hiiro**
Are you saying you're fine with letting
Queen Towa continue to suffer alone?!
**[30:04] (Flashback) Hiiro**
Is that what you call being
"in your right mind"?!
**[30:07] (Flashback) Mobuji**
Now, calm down.
We feel the same way you do.
**[30:11] (Flashback) Mobuji**
The previous generation
entrusted us with the queen.
**[30:13] (Flashback) Mobuji**
We will protect her at any cost.
**[30:16] (Flashback) Mobuji**
That is the last job we old
fools have been tasked with.
**[30:20] (Flashback) Hiiro**
Then—
**[30:21] (Flashback) Soldier (Runner)**
Urgent report!
**[30:22] (Flashback) Soldier (Runner)**
The army from Falmuth that has
invaded the Great Forest of Jura
**[30:25] (Flashback) Soldier (Runner)**
engaged in battle with
a nation called Tempest
**[30:27] (Flashback) Soldier (Runner)**
and was completely wiped out!
**[30:29] (Flashback) Hiiro**
Tempest?
**[30:31] (Flashback) Hiiro**
The nation that stopped the Orcs?
**[30:33] (Flashback) Mobuji**
Their military is that powerful?
**[30:35] (Flashback) Soldier (Runner)**
They also say the
Storm Dragon Veldora was revived
**[30:37] (Flashback) Soldier (Runner)**
by feeding on the bodies of
the dead Falmuth soldiers!
**[30:40] (Flashback) Mobuji**
This is exactly what I was talking about!
**[30:42] (Flashback) Mobuji**
Do you get it now?
**[30:43] (Flashback) Mobuji**
This is why the forest is inviolable!
**[30:46] (Flashback) Minister**
They got what they had coming.
**[30:48] (Flashback) Soldier (Runner)**
But the leader of Tempest, Rimuru,
**[30:51] (Flashback) Soldier (Runner)**
successfully negotiated with
the newly revived Veldora
**[30:54] (Flashback) Soldier (Runner)**
to prevent all casualties outside
Falmuth's army before they could happen.
**[30:58] (Flashback) Mobuji**
What?!
**[30:59] (Flashback) Hiiro**
Their leader, Rimuru?
**[31:02] (Flashback) Hiiro**
If we tell him what's going on,
maybe he'll agree to the cultivation!
**[31:07] (Flashback) Mobuji**
They do say his nation accepts
monsters of all types.
**[31:10] (Flashback) Minister**
True...
**[31:13] (Flashback) Hiiro**
I will serve as our messenger to Tempest.
**[31:16] (Flashback) Hiiro**
You won't object to that now, will you?
**[31:21] (Flashback) Mobuji**
Very well.
**[31:22] (Flashback) Minister**
Do be careful.
**[31:24] (Flashback) Minister**
We can't have you poking at a
bush and flushing out a snake.
**[31:27] (Flashback) Hiiro**
I know that. It's a dragon I want to see.
**[31:30] (Flashback) Hiiro**
A snake won't do me any good.
**[31:40] Hiiro**
That's how I ended up here with these two,
**[31:43] Hiiro**
but then I raised my blade to Geld...
**[31:44] Hiiro**
no, to the people of Tempest
without even thinking.
**[31:48] Hiiro**
I apologize.
**[31:51] Subordinates**
We're very sorry!
**[31:53] Rimuru**
Well, you had your reasons.
**[31:55] Rimuru**
Don't worry about it.
**[32:01] Rimuru**
Okay, I guess I should add
some more to this info dump.
**[32:04] Hiiro**
More?
**[32:07] Rimuru**
I became a Demon Lord.
**[32:13] Rimuru**
Oops! Sorry!
**[32:18] Subordinate B**
A D-Demon Lord?
**[32:19] Shuna**
That's right!
**[32:21] Shion**
He defeated Clayman and earned the
approval of the other Demon Lords!
**[32:22] Rimuru**
Aw, it wasn't that big a deal...
**[32:25] Hiiro**
He defeated... Clayman?!
**[32:30] Shion**
Great Rimuru was absolutely fantastic!
**[32:33] Hiiro**
I see...
**[32:37] Rimuru**
Anyway, you said you wanted
permission to cultivate the forest?
**[32:41] Rimuru**
Hey, Veldora.
**[32:43] Rimuru**
Is entry into the forest
really forbidden? Why?
**[32:46] Veldora**
I dunno.
**[32:48] Rimuru**
You heard him.
**[32:50] Subordinate A**
Vel...
**[32:51] Subordinate B**
...dora?
**[32:52] Rimuru**
Oh, I guess I forgot to introduce you.
**[32:54] Rimuru**
This is my friend, Veldora-kun.
**[32:56] Rimuru**
Go on, say hello.
**[32:58] Veldora**
I am the Storm Dragon Veldora.
**[33:01] Veldora**
As long as you don't make a lot of noise,
you can enter the forest all you want.
**[33:07] Hiiro**
Great... Veldora?
**[33:09] Rimuru**
Uh, yeah, well...
**[33:11] Rimuru**
You've got permission now,
so you don't need to worry about—
**[33:14] Milim**
I want in on this, too!
**[33:16] Rimuru**
Milim?!
**[33:16] Milim**
You're having a banquet today, right?
**[33:18] Milim**
Why didn't you tell me?!
**[33:20] Rimuru**
It's not a banquet.
There's just a messenger here.
**[33:23] Milim**
I know it's a banquet! You're drinking!
**[33:25] Milim**
How could you not invite me?! That's so cold!
**[33:28] Rimuru**
Hey!
**[33:28] Milim**
I can't let this slide
just 'cause we're besties!
**[33:31] Milim**
Right, Veldora?!
**[33:32] Veldora**
What?! This is a banquet?!
**[33:34] Veldora**
You didn't save any for me!
**[33:36] Rimuru**
I told you, we have a messenger visiting!
**[33:36] Subordinate A**
Milim? *That* Milim?
**[33:38] Rimuru**
The banquet comes after!
**[33:38] Subordinate B**
Nah, couldn't be...
**[33:39] Milim**
See?! It *is* a banquet!
**[33:41] Hiiro**
Rimuru!
**[33:44] Rimuru**
Come on, just calm down a little.
**[33:47] Rimuru**
Yes?
**[33:51] Hiiro**
I wish to make a formal request of the leader
**[33:54] Hiiro**
of the Jura Tempest Federation,
Rimuru Tempest.
**[33:58] Hiiro**
If nothing is done,
the Kingdom of Raja will fall.
**[34:01] Hiiro**
I want to save Queen Towa, who saved my life,
**[34:05] Hiiro**
and the citizens she treasures so deeply.
**[34:09] Hiiro**
I beg you, for the good
of Raja, lend me your aid!
**[34:18] Benimaru**
Great Rimuru, I make the same request of you.
**[34:21] Shuna**
Me, too.
**[34:23] Rimuru**
Hey, come on, you guys. Raise your heads.
**[34:26] Rimuru**
You don't have to beg. Of course I'll help.
**[34:28] Rimuru**
Towa-san seems to really
care about her people,
**[34:31] Rimuru**
and I'd like to see this Kingdom of Raja.
**[34:33] Rimuru**
Is it okay if I visit her to
wish her well in her recovery?
**[34:38] Hiiro**
Of course!
**[34:39] Benimaru**
Great Rimuru...
**[34:41] Benimaru**
Thank you.
**[34:42] Shuna, Shion, Hakuro, Kurobei & Soei**
Thank you.
**[34:46] Hiiro**
I thank you for your kindness.
**[34:58] Hiiro**
Be well, Master.
**[35:00] Hakuro**
I'll train you again sometime.
**[35:04] Hiiro**
Please go easy on me when you do.
**[35:06] Kurobei**
Come see us again soon.
**[35:09] Hiiro**
Yeah, I will.
**[35:12] Rimuru**
Okay, we're off to the Kingdom of Raja.
**[35:15] Rimuru**
Let's go!
**[35:30] Gabiru**
Take care!
**[35:30] Kakushin?**
Safe travels!
**[35:31] Gobta**
Bring us some cool stuff back!
**[35:33] Yashichi?**
We await your return!
**[35:41] Hiiro**
It's within sight now.
That's the Kingdom of Raja.
**[35:48] Shuna**
It's such a beautiful country!
**[35:50] Subordinate A**
Thank you!
**[35:52] Subordinate A**
But it does have far less
vitality than it used to...
**[35:57] Subordinate A**
F-Forgive me.
**[36:00] Shion**
That was a good rumble.
**[36:02] Shion**
I had a feeling this might happen, so...
**[36:05] Shion**
Here!
**[36:15] Rimuru**
Wh-What happened?
**[36:17] Rimuru**
Ranga, follow them!
**[36:49] Hiiro**
This is our prime minister,
Mobuji, and our minister.
**[36:53] Hiiro**
That is the leader of the
Jura Tempest Federation,
**[36:56] Hiiro**
Rimuru Tempest.
**[36:59] Mobuji**
Goodness! We have little to
offer in the way of hospitality,
**[37:03] Mobuji**
but allow me to welcome you on
behalf of the Kingdom of Raja.
**[37:07] Minister**
Thank you for coming all this way.
**[37:11] Minister**
So... I heard that you were a
monster... specifically, a slime...
**[37:17] Rimuru**
Oh...
**[37:20] Rimuru**
You mean this?
**[37:22] Rimuru**
Is it easier for you to
talk to me in this form?
**[37:25] Minister**
P-Please forgive my indiscretion!
**[37:27] Minister**
I didn't realize you had assumed
that form for our benefit!
**[37:29] Minister**
Please return to the way you were!
**[37:31] Rimuru**
Really?
**[37:32] Minister & Mobuji**
Yes!
**[37:33] Rimuru**
Okay.
**[37:36] Hiiro**
How is Queen Towa?
**[37:38] Mobuji**
She's sleeping.
**[37:39] Mobuji**
Chikuan is with her.
**[37:41] Hiiro**
Then I'll give my report here first.
**[37:44] Hiiro**
The Storm Dragon Veldora
has granted us permission
**[37:46] Hiiro**
to cultivate the Great Forest of Jura.
**[37:49] Mobuji**
What?!
**[37:50] Minister**
You met him?!
**[37:52] Hiiro**
Rimuru introduced me to him.
**[37:55] Rimuru**
It's really not that big a deal.
**[37:57] Rimuru**
Just make sure you don't get too greedy.
**[38:00] Mobuji**
Yes, of course!
**[38:02] Minister**
Thank you so much!
**[38:04] Minister**
I'm sure everyone will be thrilled!
**[38:06] Minister**
But a large-scale cultivation effort
will require the aid of specialists.
**[38:10] Minister**
It won't be eas—
**[38:11] Ramiris**
No need to worry about that!
**[38:14] Rimuru**
I know that voice.
**[38:18] Minister**
Wh-What's going on?!
**[38:20] Rimuru**
Oh, don't worry. It's okay.
**[38:22] Rimuru**
That's a friend of mine.
**[38:33] Rimuru**
Treyni-san? What are you doing here?
**[38:37] Mobuji**
Treyni?
**[38:39] Mobuji**
You mean... the Dryad?!
**[38:41] Minister**
I-It can't be!
**[38:42] Minister**
I never thought I would
see you in all my days!
**[38:45] Minister & Mobuji**
We are so blessed! So blessed!
**[38:48] Minister**
I can now die happy.
**[38:50] Mobuji**
I feel like I'll live longer now.
**[38:51] Ramiris**
Hey! You two!
**[38:53] Ramiris**
You're not gonna tell me
you can't see me, are you?!
**[38:56] Minister**
We're trying to enjoy the moment here!
**[38:58] Ramiris**
What?!
**[38:59] Mobuji**
You're making too much noise!
**[39:01] Mobuji**
Can't you save this for later?
**[39:03] Ramiris**
Hey, Rimuru!
**[39:04] Ramiris**
Tell them who I am!
**[39:07] Rimuru**
U-Um, this is...
**[39:09] Treyni**
She is our ruler, the Queen of
Spirits, and a Demon Lord...
**[39:13] Ramiris**
The Great Ramiris!
**[39:14] Minister & Mobuji**
A D-Demon Lord?!
**[39:16] Ramiris**
That means I'm more important than Treyni!
**[39:18] Ramiris**
Got it?!
**[39:19] Minister & Mobuji**
Forgive us!
**[39:23] Minister**
The great Veldora, the great
Treyni, and a Demon Lord...
**[39:27] Hiiro**
The leader Rimuru himself
**[39:29] Hiiro**
has been formally acknowledged
as a Demon Lord, as well.
**[39:32] Minister**
Oh, my...
**[39:34] Treyni**
I'd like to get straight to the point.
**[39:36] Treyni**
I understand the dire situation Raja is in.
**[39:38] Treyni**
Cultivation is important, but you
should also be prepared to farm.
**[39:43] Mobuji**
Well said!
**[39:43] Minister**
I see! Yes, of course!
**[39:46] Rimuru**
Treyni-san really can show up anywhere.
**[39:46] Treyni**
Let us first improve your waste collection
to produce better fertilizer.
**[39:49] Rimuru**
Well, I think we can safely
leave the farming to her.
**[39:50] Minister**
Ah! I will assemble workers at once!
**[39:52] Benimaru**
Indeed.
**[39:53] Treyni**
You can use the leaf
mulch in the forest to...
**[39:55] Chikuan**
The queen has awakened.
**[39:58] Hiiro**
All right.
**[40:00] Hiiro**
Rimuru, please come and see Queen Towa.
**[40:02] Rimuru**
Sure.
**[40:07] Hiiro**
Queen Towa, I've brought the leader
of the Jura Tempest Federation,
**[40:10] Hiiro**
Rimuru Tempest, to see you.
**[40:14] Towa**
Thank you for traveling so far.
**[40:17] Towa**
I'm sorry to greet you in this state.
**[40:28] Hiiro**
Rimuru might be able to treat you.
**[40:33] Rimuru**
I can't ask you to
immediately trust a monster
**[40:35] Rimuru**
who just showed up out of nowhere, but...
**[40:37] Towa**
I trust you.
**[40:39] Rimuru**
Really? That easily?
**[40:41] Towa**
I have no reason to doubt anyone
Hiiro has brought to me.
**[40:47] Hiiro**
Queen Towa...
**[40:48] Rimuru**
All right, then.
Mind if I take a look at you?
**[41:00] Towa**
Are you curious?
**[41:02] Rimuru**
Y-Yeah.
**[41:04] Rimuru**
I've heard whoever wears that
can use immense magic power.
**[41:08] Rimuru**
I definitely sense incredible power in it.
**[41:12] Towa**
You can tell?
**[41:14] Towa**
It's because I have this tiara that I
can protect my nation and its people.
**[41:19] Rimuru**
But it afflicts you with
Curse Poison in return?
**[41:25] Towa**
All things come with a price.
***SIGN*** Appraisal
**[41:30] Raphael**
*Answer.*
**[41:31] Raphael**
*The tiara's Curse Poison cannot be removed.*
**[41:33] Raphael**
* Only the one who placed the*
* curse on it can remove it.*
**[41:38] Raphael**
* However, so long as she*
* does not use the tiara,*
**[41:41] Raphael**
*she should gradually recover.*
**[41:44] Rimuru**
*I see.*
**[41:45] Raphael**
* Depending on the user's life force,*
* it's possible to resist the Curse Poison.*
**[41:49] Raphael**
* But the recovery of her life force*
* seems to be drastically delayed.*
**[41:54] Raphael**
*Symptomatic treatment is recommended.*
**[41:58] Raphael**
* Please administer honey*
* as a restorative tonic.*
***SIGN*** Honey
***SIGN*** Administration Recommended
**[42:11] Towa**
It's delicious.
**[42:12] Rimuru**
It's special honey produced in Tempest.
**[42:14] Rimuru**
It's the best medicine there is.
**[42:17] Rimuru**
Try to have a spoonful after every meal.
**[42:21] Towa**
I can feel my body warming
up from the inside.
**[42:27] Hiiro**
It's true... Her color already looks better.
**[42:30] Hiiro**
It works that quickly?
**[42:32] Rimuru**
The Curse Poison won't be easy to get rid of,
**[42:35] Rimuru**
but as long as she doesn't use
the tiara, she'll get better.
**[42:39] Hiiro**
Really?!
**[42:40] Rimuru**
Yeah.
**[42:42] Towa**
Thank you so much.
**[42:45] Towa**
But if I don't use this power,
the toxins from the mines will...
**[42:50] Rimuru**
I'll take care of that, too.
**[42:52] Towa**
Huh?
**[42:52] Rimuru**
Can I ask you to leave that to me?
**[43:04] Rimuru**
Hundreds of years of mining are causing
**[43:07] Rimuru**
toxins from the mines to pour into this lake.
**[43:11] Rimuru**
Right, Towa-san?
**[43:13] Towa**
Yes.
**[43:14] Towa**
The lake was once filled
with pure, clean water,
**[43:18] Towa**
but now, it's a lake of death.
**[43:22] Towa**
Eventually, the poison will be so strong
that the air around it becomes toxic.
**[43:28] Shuna**
Great Rimuru, couldn't you remove
all the toxins from the mines
**[43:32] Shuna**
and restore the water in the
lake to complete purity?
**[43:37] Rimuru**
Yeah.
**[43:39] Towa**
Really?!
**[43:41] Rimuru**
But... hang on a minute.
**[43:44] Rimuru**
When I arrived in this country...
**[43:47] Raphael**
*Notice.*
***SIGN*** Notice
**[43:48] Raphael**
* The composition of this poison*

***SIGN*** Chance of Natural Occurrence: 0%
**[43:53] Rimuru**
I analyzed the water from the waterfall,
**[43:55] Rimuru**
and something wasn't right.
**[43:58] Hiiro**
What do you mean?
**[44:06] Rimuru**
* The poisons in this lake aren't*
* toxins from gold mines.*
**[44:43] Rimuru**
So that's it.
**[45:08] Rimuru**
Devour all, Beelzebub!
**[45:27] Raphael**
*Notice.*
**[45:27] Raphael**
*The purification of the poison is complete.*
**[45:30] Rimuru**
All right!
**[46:18] Benimaru**
Everyone is happy.
**[46:20] Rimuru**
Yeah. I'm glad.
**[46:24] Shion**
Of course they are!
**[46:25] Shion**
We got permission to cultivate
the Great Forest of Jura,
**[46:28] Shion**
Queen Towa is on the road to recovery,
**[46:30] Shion**
and the lake was purified along with
the thing that was poisoning it!
**[46:33] Shion**
And it's all thanks to Great Rimuru!
**[46:35] Benimaru**
Why are *you* so proud?
**[46:37] Shion**
What are you talking about, Benimaru?
**[46:39] Shion**
I am Great Rimuru's first secretary!
**[46:42] Shion**
That means Great Rimuru and
I are of one body and mind!
**[46:46] Benimaru**
You lost me.
**[46:49] Benimaru**
Anyway, what do you think that
magic circle was all about?
**[46:53] Rimuru**
It looked pretty old.
**[46:56] Rimuru**
I'd guess it was made by the same person
who put the Curse Poison on the tiara.
**[47:00] Shuna**
There's a legend that says the tiara
was a gift bestowed by a goddess,
**[47:04] Shuna**
but no one knows anything else about it.
**[47:06] Rimuru**
I don't know if it was a goddess or not,
**[47:08] Rimuru**
but we'll just have to ask whoever cursed it.
**[47:11] Rimuru**
Assuming they're still alive, that is.
**[47:16] Hiiro**
Rimuru!
**[47:18] Hiiro**
I can't offer much,
**[47:21] Hiiro**
but I want to express my gratitude
in whatever way I can.
**[47:27] Rimuru**
This is more than enough.
**[47:29] Hiiro**
There isn't much in this nation
that I could give you in return,
**[47:33] Hiiro**
but someday—
**[47:35] Rimuru**
Yeah, I'll make sure you
repay the favor someday.
**[47:37] Rimuru**
So for now, can we continue
our relationship with Raja?
**[47:43] Rimuru**
When I saw Towa-san sacrificing herself
**[47:45] Rimuru**
to protect her country and her people,
**[47:48] Rimuru**
it made me feel like I have
to be just as reliable.
**[47:51] Rimuru**
I want to continue to be friends
with the people of this country.
**[47:55] Rimuru**
Is that okay?
**[47:59] Hiiro**
Thank you!
**[48:02] Shion**
Drink with us, Brother!
**[48:03] Benimaru**
Hey, come on.
**[48:05] Benimaru**
Shion!
**[48:06] Shuna**
Shion, you shouldn't drink too much.
**[48:06] Rimuru**
Well, I think I'll go see
how Towa-san's doing.
**[48:07] Benimaru**
You're the only one who's sloshed.
**[48:10] Shion**
Yay! Great Rimuru!
**[48:39] Rimuru**
Towa-san.
**[48:44] Rimuru**
How are you feeling?
**[48:48] Towa**
Better and better,
thanks to the honey you gave me.
**[48:52] Towa**
I truly thank you for everything.
**[48:55] Rimuru**
Aw, it was fine.
**[48:56] Rimuru**
Benimaru and his gang asked me to help, too.
**[48:58] Rimuru**
I did it because I wanted to.
**[49:08] Towa**
I envy you, Great Rimuru.
**[49:12] Towa**
You're the leader of a nation just like me,
**[49:14] Towa**
but you're open about how you feel and
spend your days with your companions.
**[49:18] Rimuru**
Huh?
**[49:20] Towa**
I'm truly unfair.
**[49:24] Towa**
When I saw Hiiro risking
his life for his comrades
**[49:27] Towa**
and protecting them as he fought,
**[49:30] Towa**
I thought he seemed like
someone I could trust.
**[49:35] Towa**
That if I saved him, and he joined my side...
**[49:41] Rimuru**
Towa-san... But, I mean...
**[49:43] Towa**
I know.
**[49:46] Towa**
It was calculating and selfish.
**[49:49] Rimuru**
But doesn't that go for everyone?
**[49:52] Rimuru**
We all do some internal
calculation sometimes.
**[49:55] Rimuru**
I don't think being
calculating is a bad thing.
**[49:58] Towa**
Huh?
**[49:59] Rimuru**
Besides, just because you named him
**[50:02] Rimuru**
doesn't mean you bound his soul to you.
**[50:04] Rimuru**
Just look at all my friends.
**[50:07] Rimuru**
They say whatever they want to me,
**[50:09] Rimuru**
and do whatever they feel like.
**[50:11] Rimuru**
With some individual variation, of course.
**[50:13] Towa**
Is... that how it works?
**[50:16] Rimuru**
Yeah, it is.
**[50:17] Rimuru**
You're just taking things too seriously.
**[50:19] Rimuru**
If you keep that up, your own sense
of responsibility will crush you.
**[50:23] Rimuru**
You should lighten up and be
more honest about your feelings.
**[50:31] Towa**
You're very kind, Great Rimuru.
**[50:34] Rimuru**
That's what you call "calculating."
**[50:36] Rimuru**
All so we can continue
to get along from now on.
**[50:41] Lacua**
H-How can this be?!
**[50:48] Lacua**
They're cultivating the
Great Forest of Jura?!
**[50:54] Lacua**
The lake has been purified?!
**[50:57] Lacua**
What is going on? What is going on?
**[50:59] Lacua**
I don't understand.
**[50:59] Towa**
Thank you all for your hard work.
**[51:00] Lacua**
This can't be possible! It can't be...
**[51:01] Miner A**
Queen Towa, you seem well.
**[51:03] Miner B**
What a relief!
**[51:07] Lacua**
The queen has recovered?!
**[51:10] Mobuji**
Well, well, if it isn't Lacua.
**[51:14] Lacua**
M-Master Mobuji!
**[51:16] Lacua**
It's been a long time!
**[51:18] Lacua**
I've brought a variety
of goods for you again!
**[51:20] Mobuji**
Wonderful.
**[51:22] Mobuji**
Now, come and relieve the
exhaustion of your travels first.
**[51:27] Lacua**
So, ah...
**[51:28] Lacua**
The atmosphere here seems
to have changed somehow.
**[51:32] Mobuji**
A lot has happened in these past ten days.
**[51:34] Mobuji**
We can take our time discussing
that this evening.
**[51:38] Mobuji**
Goodbye until then.
**[51:43] Lacua**
*This is awful!*
**[51:44] Lacua**
*What in the world happened?!*
**[51:50] Lacua**
How could this be?!
**[51:51] Lacua**
My plans were ruined by a
Kijin survivor and a slime?!
**[51:56] Lacua**
But fulfilling her wish was my
ticket to elevating my status!
**[52:02] Lacua**
Damn it!
**[52:07] Lacua**
Yes...
**[52:09] Lacua**
What we need is chaos and tragedy!
**[52:16] Rimuru**
You know...
**[52:18] Rimuru**
You don't have to come back here every time.
**[52:20] Rimuru**
You can use Thought Communication
to report to me.
**[52:24] Shion**
That's right, second secretary.
**[52:27] Diablo**
What are you talking about, Great Rimuru?
**[52:31] Diablo**
Running to your side is
no trouble for me at all.
**[52:52] Hiiro**
It's been a long time
since I left the village.
**[52:59] Hiiro**
Now I'm finally able to come
back here with all of you.
**[53:04] Hiiro**
I'm here today, alive and well,
thanks to you all.
**[53:09] Hiiro**
And... the young master and our
other friends are still alive, too.
**[53:18] Hiiro**
We sure were fired up about earning money
**[53:21] Hiiro**
to make their lives easier
and feed them tasty food.
**[53:30] Hiiro**
And now all of you are gone...
**[53:38] Hiiro**
I'm sorry, everyone.
**[53:41] Hiiro**
If I... If only I were...
**[53:47] Benimaru**
Great Rimuru told me you were here.
**[54:02] Hiiro**
If only I were stronger,
I could have protected them.
**[54:06] Benimaru**
Yeah.
**[54:08] Hiiro**
If only I could have been a better leader...
**[54:12] Benimaru**
I guess so.
**[54:15] Hiiro**
I was the one being protected.
**[54:17] Hiiro**
They gave everything to keep me alive.
**[54:21] Hiiro**
If it costs my life...
**[54:23] Hiiro**
If I must give everything
I have, next time...
**[54:27] Hiiro**
Next time, I will protect my comrades!
**[54:34] Benimaru**
Brother.
**[54:37] Benimaru**
I always liked that one-track mind of yours.
**[54:41] Benimaru**
But don't forget that you've
got us and Great Rimuru, too.
**[54:50] Hiiro**
Right.
**[54:58] Subordinate A**
Captain!
**[54:59] Subordinate A**
Bad news! It's Queen Towa!
**[55:04] Rimuru**
She collapsed?
**[55:05] Treyni**
The lake suddenly became so poisoned
that the air became toxic,
**[55:09] Treyni**
so she used the tiara in an
attempt to save her people.
**[55:13] Rimuru**
So suddenly?
**[55:14] Rimuru**
I got rid of the weird magic circle
that was making the poison, though...
**[55:19] Raphael**
*Yes.*
**[55:20] Raphael**
* It was completely removed, and all of*
* the poison in the lake was purified.*
**[55:25] Diablo**
What's this about a weird magic circle?
**[55:28] Shion**
It was at the bottom of the lake.
**[55:30] Shion**
It looked very old.
**[55:33] Diablo**
I see...
**[55:36] Diablo**
An old magic circle?
**[55:40] Subordinate A**
So the curse spread
throughout her body again.
**[55:43] Subordinate A**
The honey Great Rimuru gave
her is keeping her alive,
**[55:47] Subordinate A**
but there's another problem...
**[55:49] Hiiro**
What is it?
**[55:50] Subordinate A**
We received word that the neighboring
nation's army is on the move.
**[55:53] Subordinate A**
Everyone is panicking.
**[56:00] Shion**
Great Rimuru, shouldn't you hurry to Raja?
**[56:04] Rimuru**
Yeah, but...
**[56:06] Rimuru**
I purified the lake, but it's poisoned again.
**[56:09] Rimuru**
The neighboring nation made a move
the moment Towa-san collapsed...
**[56:13] Diablo**
You think it's all too
perfect to be coincidental.
**[56:17] Rimuru**
Exactly.
**[56:18] Shion**
I-I was just about to say that, too!
**[56:24] Rimuru**
Towa-san had exhausted a
great deal of her life force.
**[56:27] Rimuru**
Was that doctor of theirs, Chikuan,
really treating her at all?
**[56:32] Rimuru**
There are too many questions.
**[56:36] Rimuru**
Soei!
**[56:37] Soei**
I am here.
**[56:39] Rimuru**
Find out why Raja is being targeted.
**[56:42] Soei**
At once.
**[56:43] Soei**
Let's go.
**[56:44] Soka**
Right.
**[56:46] Rimuru**
Shion, get everyone together.
**[56:49] Commander**
Assume counterattack formation!
**[56:51] Soldiers**
Yes, sir!
**[56:57] Mobuji**
Chikuan!
**[56:59] Chikuan**
In her current state, it will
be difficult to relocate her.
**[57:05] Chikuan**
She won't last long enough to avoid
the battle and remain on the run.
**[57:09] Mobuji**
Oh, no...
**[57:15] Towa**
I'm sorry, Hiiro...
**[57:20] Towa**
I couldn't... save your friends...
**[57:25] Hiiro**
Queen Towa!
**[57:26] Hiiro**
You have nothing to apologize for!
**[57:30] Towa**
You are... free to do whatever you want.
**[57:37] Hiiro**
What are you saying?
**[57:40] Towa**
I'm... sorry, Hiiro...
**[57:52] Hiiro**
* There's nothing you need*
* to apologize for at all.*
**[57:58] Hiiro**
*Why do you have to suffer like this?*
**[58:06] Rimuru**
As you can tell, we don't know who's
pulling the strings behind all this,
**[58:10] Rimuru**
and we might be facing a battle.
**[58:13] Rimuru**
But I intend to trust Towa-san
and take Raja's side.
**[58:17] Rimuru**
I'd like all of you to help.
***SIGN*** SIRIUS
**[58:19] Benimaru**
No objections from me.
**[58:21] Shuna**
We have Brother Hiiro, too.
**[58:23] Shuna**
We were all hoping to ask
for your help, as well.
**[58:27] Rimuru**
Then start making preparations right away.
**[58:30] All**
Right!
**[58:34] Rimuru**
Veldora!
**[58:35] Veldora**
You want me to stay behind, right?
**[58:38] Rimuru**
You're the only one I can
trust to look after Tempest.
**[58:45] Veldora**
I thought so.
**[58:48] Veldora**
You can rest easy in knowing
that I am on the job!
**[58:57] Diablo**
Great Rimuru.
**[58:59] Diablo**
I may have an idea as to who created
the Curse Poison in the tiara
**[59:04] Diablo**
and the magic circle in the lake.
**[59:06] Rimuru**
What?
**[59:08] Diablo**
If you will permit it,
**[59:10] Diablo**
I will personally negotiate
to have the curse undone.
**[59:15] Rimuru**
I permit it! I permit it!
**[59:16] Rimuru**
I'm counting on you, Diablo!
**[59:20] Diablo**
Thank you!
**[59:22] Diablo**
I will live up to your expectations.
**[59:34] Hiiro**
*Even after Rimuru did all he could,*
**[59:37] Hiiro**
*the poison returns.*
**[59:39] Hiiro**
* And every time it does,*
* Queen Towa uses the tiara's power.*
**[59:45] Hiiro**
*How can we overcome this?*
**[59:48] Lacua**
Master Hiiro!
**[59:51] Hiiro**
Do you need something, Lacua?
**[59:54] Lacua**
I have some highly confidential
information for you.
**[59:57] Lacua**
It's about a possible way
to save Her Majesty's life.
**[1:00:03] Hiiro**
What do you mean? Tell me!
**[1:00:13] Lacua**
There is a secret art.
**[1:00:16] Lacua**
It involves transferring one's
soul to another object...
**[1:00:18] Lacua**
or in other words, switching bodies.
**[1:00:23] Hiiro**
Such a method can't really exist.
**[1:00:25] Lacua**
I don't blame you for having your doubts.
**[1:00:29] Lacua**
But it *does* exist!
**[1:00:33] Lacua**
Of course, certain conditions
must be met in order to do it.
**[1:00:37] Lacua**
It involves some degree of compatibility.
**[1:00:41] Lacua**
But...
**[1:00:42] Lacua**
Since your soul and Her Majesty's
are linked by the ritual of naming,
**[1:00:49] Lacua**
surely it will work out.
**[1:00:52] Hiiro**
Truly?!
**[1:00:53] Lacua**
Yes, yes!
**[1:00:54] Lacua**
However! We must also consider this!
**[1:00:57] Lacua**
If we were to transfer Her
Majesty's soul into your body,
**[1:01:01] Lacua**
your soul would have nowhere
to go, and it may be lost.
**[1:01:05] Lacua**
If you are prepared for that possibility...
**[1:01:09] Lacua**
That is all I can say.
**[1:01:14] Hiiro**
You're saying I can give my body...
the life that Queen Towa saved... to her?
**[1:01:22] Hiiro**
I see.
**[1:01:24] Hiiro**
Then, I know what I need to do.
**[1:01:28] Lacua**
Y-You mean...
**[1:01:31] Hiiro**
I will return this life to Queen Towa.
**[1:01:33] Hiiro**
Begin the process at once.
**[1:01:36] Lacua**
You would sacrifice yourself...
**[1:01:38] Lacua**
What a beautiful heart you have!
**[1:01:40] Lacua**
I am deeply moved!
**[1:01:48] Hiiro**
What's that?
**[1:01:49] Lacua**
This is called a "Curse Orb."
**[1:01:53] Hiiro**
Curse Orb?
**[1:01:54] Lacua**
One might also call it a
secret treasure of power.
**[1:01:57] Lacua**
It's said that it can rebuild a body
to be stronger than it was before.
**[1:02:01] Lacua**
It's a highly valuable article
I picked up in the far west,
**[1:02:05] Lacua**
but to ensure the success of the
ritual for transferring souls,
**[1:02:09] Lacua**
I will need you to swallow it.
**[1:02:13] Hiiro**
All right.
**[1:02:32] Hiiro**
I feel strange...
**[1:02:34] Lacua**
It just takes a bit of time for
your body to accept the orb.
**[1:02:38] Lacua**
Now, let us relocate to a place
where no one will interfere.
**[1:03:05] Rimuru**
Everyone ready?
**[1:03:07] All**
Yes!
**[1:03:08] Rimuru**
Okay, I'll transport us now.
**[1:03:26] Mobuji**
Oh, Rimuru!
**[1:03:28] Rimuru**
Mobuji-san, Minister.
**[1:03:30] Mobuji**
We can't find Her Majesty!
**[1:03:32] Rimuru**
What?!
**[1:03:35] Subordinate A**
Our captain is also missing.
**[1:03:38] Mobuji**
Where have they gone at a time like this?
**[1:03:41] Rimuru**
Ranga.
**[1:03:42] Ranga**
Yes, Master!
**[1:03:50] Lacua**
We should be able to conduct
the ritual in peace here.
**[1:03:54] Lacua**
Now, place Her Majesty up there.
**[1:04:13] Hiiro**
Queen Towa, you can rest at ease.
**[1:04:26] Mobuji**
Why would Hiiro and the queen
come to a place like this?
**[1:04:37] Soei**
*Great Rimuru, may I?*
**[1:04:39] Rimuru**
*Soei, what is it?*
**[1:04:41] Soei**
* I know why the neighboring*
* country is targeting Raja.*
**[1:04:44] Rimuru**
Hang on. The prime minister
and minister are here.
**[1:04:47] Rimuru**
I'll let them hear this, too.
**[1:04:50] Rimuru**
Okay.
**[1:04:51] Soei**
* The neighboring country is after a*
* large gold vein resting beneath Raja.*
**[1:04:56] Rimuru**
A gold vein?
**[1:04:58] Soka**
That is the rumor going around
in the neighboring country.
**[1:05:02] Soei**
They are hastily preparing to
attack so they can claim it.
**[1:05:07] Subordinate A**
Uh, I don't know anything about this!
**[1:05:09] Subordinate B**
I don't, either!
**[1:05:13] Ranga**
If you're lying, you'll regret it!
**[1:05:17] Mobuji**
W-Wait, Ranga! They're not lying!
**[1:05:19] Mobuji**
It's true that large amounts of
gold were dug up here in the past,
**[1:05:23] Mobuji**
but now, you won't find any
bigger than my little finger!
**[1:05:27] Rimuru**
Ranga, these people aren't lying.
**[1:05:30] Rimuru**
If they had something like that,
**[1:05:32] Rimuru**
they wouldn't be trying to cultivate
the Great Forest of Jura.
**[1:05:42] Rimuru**
*Still...*
**[1:05:43] Raphael**
*Notice.*
**[1:05:44] Raphael**
* It is unnatural for their army to*
* mobilize at this point in time.*
**[1:05:48] Rimuru**
*That's true.*
**[1:05:49] Rimuru**
* Still, our first priority has*
* to be protecting this place.*
**[1:05:56] Rimuru**
Minister, how big is your army?
**[1:05:58] Minister**
We have about 2,000.
**[1:06:00] Rimuru**
Assemble them right away,
and evacuate all civilians.
**[1:06:03] Minister**
But—
**[1:06:04] Rimuru**
Don't worry. When the fighting starts,
my friends will help you.
**[1:06:08] Mobuji**
Minister!
**[1:06:08] Minister**
Y-Yes! Right away!
**[1:06:10] Minister**
You two!
**[1:06:11] Subordinates**
Yes, sir!
**[1:06:15] Rimuru**
Head over to help, too, Soei.
**[1:06:17] Soei & Soka**
*Right away.*
**[1:06:21] Ranga**
*Master, I smell them.*
**[1:06:23] Rimuru**
So they're beyond here?
**[1:06:42] Lacua**
Now, then, Master Hiiro...
**[1:06:45] Hiiro**
Yes.
**[1:06:48] Towa**
Hiiro?
**[1:06:51] Towa**
What is...
**[1:06:52] Lacua**
We are going to conduct a ritual to transfer
your soul into Master Hiiro's body.
**[1:06:59] Hiiro**
You won't have to suffer anymore.
**[1:07:02] Towa**
What... do you mean?
**[1:07:05] Hiiro**
I want to return the life you gave me.
**[1:07:08] Lacua**
Master Hiiro is going to
offer up his life to save yours.
**[1:07:15] Hiiro**
Don't worry.
**[1:07:17] Towa**
No... You can't...
**[1:07:22] Towa**
I won't allow it... Absolutely not!
**[1:07:27] Hiiro**
Queen Towa!
**[1:07:29] Hiiro**
I'm only doing what I want to do.
**[1:07:32] Towa**
You can't do this!
**[1:07:33] Towa**
Your life doesn't belong to you alone!
**[1:07:38] Towa**
You have to live!
**[1:07:39] Towa**
Live for yourself,
and for your fallen comrades!
**[1:07:44] Towa**
And... for me...
**[1:07:48] Hiiro**
Queen Towa...
**[1:07:53] Hiiro**
Those words alone are enough.
**[1:07:59] Hiiro**
Begin the ritual.
**[1:08:03] Hiiro**
Lacua?
**[1:08:07] Lacua**
Bravo!
**[1:08:09] Lacua**
Excellent! Truly excellent!
**[1:08:11] Lacua**
What a sad, yet lovely, sight!
**[1:08:14] Lacua**
Simply beautiful!
**[1:08:17] Hiiro**
What?
**[1:08:18] Lacua**
Oh, I beg your pardon!
**[1:08:19] Lacua**
It was such a beautiful scene,
I couldn't help but applaud.
**[1:08:27] Lacua**
When that damned slime ruined my
script, it chilled me to the bone...
**[1:08:33] Lacua**
But look!
**[1:08:35] Lacua**
A magnificent recovery,
if I do say so myself!
**[1:08:38] Lacua**
Oh, how fun! I'm so happy!
**[1:08:41] Lacua**
Oh! And I'm sure she will
be most pleased, as well!
**[1:08:46] Hiiro**
What the hell are you talking about?!
**[1:08:48] Hiiro**
What about the ritual?!
**[1:08:52] Lacua**
Such a ritual does not exist!
**[1:08:56] Towa**
You're...
**[1:08:57] Lacua**
A secret art that transfers souls?
**[1:09:01] Lacua**
As if such a convenient
solution could truly exist!
**[1:09:08] Hiiro**
You tricked me?!
**[1:09:09] Lacua**
Ah, how comical!
**[1:09:11] Lacua**
You did indeed swallow a
secret treasure of power,
**[1:09:14] Lacua**
and there *is* a secret art.
**[1:09:16] Lacua**
But... it's not the secret
art you think it is!
**[1:09:21] Lacua**
It is an even greater trial!
**[1:09:24] Lacua**
One that will surely prompt the
queen to use the tiara's magic!
**[1:09:29] Lacua**
And then...
**[1:09:30] Lacua**
Once the queen's body has
wasted away completely...
**[1:09:36] Lacua**
My lady's applause will rain down upon me!
**[1:09:39] Lacua**
Rewards will befall me like
the words of the gospel!
**[1:09:43] Hiiro**
You bastard!
**[1:09:48] Lacua**
Yes, that's it!
**[1:09:50] Lacua**
That rage will be the fuse
that ignites your despair!
**[1:09:56] Lacua**
Burst, Curse Orb!
**[1:10:00] Towa**
Hiiro!
**[1:10:05] Rimuru**
Hurry!
**[1:10:06] Benimaru, Shuna & Ranga**
Right!
**[1:10:09] Lacua**
Now, remember, Master Hiiro,
**[1:10:13] Lacua**
while you are still aware!
**[1:10:16] Lacua**
Come on!
**[1:10:20] Lacua**
Remember the despair of seeing
your village trampled!
**[1:10:24] Lacua**
The agony of losing your comrades!
**[1:10:28] Lacua**
The anger with yourself for being
tricked and having no power to stop it!
**[1:10:49] Lacua**
Marvelous!
**[1:10:51] Lacua**
Your rage and hatred have fueled
your descent into madness!
**[1:10:54] Lacua**
Rampage! Destroy!
**[1:10:56] Lacua**
Force your beloved queen to use her power!
**[1:10:59] Lacua**
That will provide my lady the
finest possible entertainment!
**[1:11:11] Towa**
Hiiro?
**[1:11:26] Lacua**
That's it! Go on a rampage!
**[1:11:31] Lacua**
How does it feel to be a Mad Ogre?
**[1:11:39] Lacua**
It's a good feeling to trick
someone as simple-minded as you!
**[1:11:46] Lacua**
It looks just like Hell!
**[1:11:53] Towa**
Hiiro...
**[1:11:57] Lacua**
Ah, Your Majesty!
**[1:11:59] Lacua**
Can you allow this to carry on?
**[1:12:02] Lacua**
You must save Master Hiiro!
**[1:12:05] Towa**
I have... to save him...
**[1:12:27] Rimuru**
Sorry we're late!
**[1:12:28] Towa**
Huh?
**[1:12:35] Shuna**
You're safe now.
**[1:12:40] Benimaru**
That form... What happened to you, Hiiro?!
**[1:12:54] Lacua**
You again?!
**[1:12:56] Rimuru**
Are you the one behind all this?
**[1:12:58] Lacua**
Curses! You're in my way at every turn!
**[1:13:02] Rimuru**
Hey!
**[1:13:08] Benimaru**
Great Rimuru! Go!
**[1:13:14] Rimuru**
Take care of him!
**[1:13:16] Rimuru**
Shuna, take care of Towa-san!
**[1:13:17] Shuna**
Right!
**[1:13:18] Rimuru**
Let's go, Ranga!
**[1:13:38] Rimuru**
There he is!
**[1:13:40] Ranga**
He will not escape!
**[1:13:49] Lacua**
Try some of this!
**[1:14:03] Lacua**
You damned slime!
**[1:14:07] Soei**
*Great Rimuru.*
**[1:14:08] Rimuru**
*Soei!*
**[1:14:12] Soei**
* The neighboring country's*
* army has begun to march.*
**[1:14:15] Soei**
* They will soon reach the*
* Kingdom of Raja's border.*
**[1:14:18] Rimuru**
*Got it! We're kinda busy over here, so...*
**[1:14:21] Rimuru**
*Can you all hear me?*
**[1:14:23] Rimuru**
*I want to keep the losses to a minimum,*
**[1:14:25] Rimuru**
*so you can defeat the enemies if you want,*
**[1:14:27] Rimuru**
*but don't kill anyone if you don't have to.*
**[1:14:30] Rimuru**
*Of course, if you have no other choice,*
**[1:14:32] Rimuru**
*put your own safety first!*
**[1:14:35] Rimuru**
Got it?
**[1:14:35] All**
Got it!
**[1:14:50] Diablo**
Long time no see, Violet.
**[1:14:53] Violet**
What are you doing here, Noir?
**[1:14:56] Diablo**
From now on, do not call me "Noir."
**[1:15:00] Diablo**
You can call me "Diablo."
**[1:15:02] Violet**
You mean you got a name?
**[1:15:04] Violet**
Hmph.
**[1:15:05] Violet**
What weirdo would name you?
**[1:15:09] Diablo**
Are you jealous, Violet?
**[1:15:12] Diablo**
We are both ancient demons,
**[1:15:14] Diablo**
but unlike me, you don't have a name.
**[1:15:17] Violet**
Oh, shut up.
**[1:15:19] Violet**
Quit bragging and tell me why you came here.
**[1:15:23] Diablo**
I wanted to ask you some questions
concerning the Kingdom of Raja.
**[1:15:27] Diablo**
Were you the one who placed a
magic circle in the lake there?
**[1:15:33] Violet**
Huh?
**[1:15:34] Violet**
Why would I go to all that trouble?
**[1:15:41] Violet**
And why would you care about that, anyway?
**[1:15:45] Diablo**
I am willing to tell you,
**[1:15:47] Diablo**
but only under the condition that
you leave that kingdom alone.
**[1:15:50] Violet**
No, thanks.
**[1:15:51] Diablo**
Why?
**[1:16:05] Violet**
Because that kingdom's royal
family is my favorite.
**[1:16:10] Diablo**
Your favorite?
**[1:16:12] Violet**
It was a few decades...
**[1:16:14] Violet**
no, it might have been a few centuries ago.
**[1:16:18] Violet**
They asked me for a favor.
**[1:16:20] Diablo**
A favor?
**[1:16:24] Violet**
I sensed some rather tasty emotions,
**[1:16:27] Violet**
so I went there purely on a whim.
**[1:16:29] Violet**
And what do you think the queen said to me?
**[1:16:31] Diablo**
I really don't care.
**[1:16:33] Violet**
She called me a goddess!
**[1:16:35] Violet**
Isn't that hilarious?
**[1:16:38] Diablo**
And?
**[1:16:39] Violet**
She wanted the power to save her kingdom,
so I decided to play with her a little.
**[1:16:48] (Flashback) Violet**
In that case, show me the
depth of your resolve.
**[1:16:51] (Flashback) Queen**
What is this?
**[1:16:53] (Flashback) Violet**
There is immense magical power
stored within this tiara.
**[1:16:58] (Flashback) Violet**
If it's used up, it will
refill itself in time.
**[1:17:02] (Flashback) Violet**
There seems to be something quite
nice buried deep beneath here.
**[1:17:06] (Flashback) Violet**
See?
**[1:17:08] (Flashback) Queen**
I thank you.
**[1:17:10] (Flashback) Queen**
And... what did you mean by "resolve"?
**[1:17:13] (Flashback) Violet**
Your resolve to play a game with me.
**[1:17:16] (Flashback) Queen**
A game?
**[1:17:17] (Flashback) Violet**
That's right.
**[1:17:18] (Flashback) Violet**
If you use that tiara, you will be cursed.
**[1:17:22] (Flashback) Violet**
What's more, that curse will be genetic,
**[1:17:25] (Flashback) Violet**
and you will pass it down
to future generations.
**[1:17:28] (Flashback) Queen**
To my descendants?
**[1:17:29] (Flashback) Violet**
Shouldn't that be obvious?
**[1:17:30] (Flashback) Violet**
To obtain the greatest of merits,
you must pay the most terrible price!
**[1:17:35] (Flashback) Violet**
The greater your wish, the deeper
the Curse Poison will eat into you.
**[1:17:40] (Flashback) Violet**
So what'll it be?
**[1:17:42] (Flashback) Queen**
If it will help me protect my people...
**[1:17:45] (Flashback) Queen**
If it will help me save my people...
**[1:17:47] (Flashback) Queen**
If it means my people can
live prosperous lives,
**[1:17:50] (Flashback) Queen**
my own life is but a trifle.
**[1:17:53] (Flashback) Queen**
I'm sure all those who inherit the
throne after me will feel the same.
**[1:17:58] (Flashback) Violet**
I like that look on your face!
**[1:18:00] (Flashback) Violet**
If you keep using that, you will eventually
be stained the color of my magic.
**[1:18:05] (Flashback) Violet**
When that happens, I win.
**[1:18:07] (Flashback) Violet**
I will obtain a body to serve as my host,
**[1:18:09] (Flashback) Violet**
allowing me to manifest in this world.
**[1:18:12] (Flashback) Queen**
In other words, if I am not
fully colored, then I...
**[1:18:16] (Flashback) Queen**
Then we are the winners?
**[1:18:20] (Flashback) Queen**
I can feel its magic... its power.
**[1:18:25] (Flashback) Violet**
Keep doing your best to entertain
me until the end of your bloodline!
**[1:18:29] (Flashback) Queen**
Now I can save my people...
**[1:18:34] (Flashback) Violet**
One of your descendants might win the game,
**[1:18:38] (Flashback) Violet**
but that could be entertaining in itself.
**[1:18:41] Violet**
That's the story.
**[1:18:44] Diablo**
In other words, you wanted to enjoy watching
every generation of her bloodline suffer?
**[1:18:52] Violet**
Well, I wasn't just gonna
help her for free, you know.
**[1:18:55] Violet**
I'm not running a charity here.
**[1:18:57] Violet**
So, uh... The current queen's
name was Towa, right?
**[1:19:02] Violet**
She seems like a really
nice girl, doesn't she?
**[1:19:04] Violet**
And it looks like the Curse Poison
has taken to her perfectly,
**[1:19:07] Violet**
so my host body should be complete soon.
**[1:19:11] Violet**
It'll probably be... the next one after
Towa, or the next one after that.
**[1:19:17] Diablo**
So you made a formal contract?
**[1:19:19] Diablo**
It didn't seem that way to me.
**[1:19:23] Diablo**
Did you not just have one of your minions
**[1:19:25] Diablo**
create a problem that would
force her to use the tiara?
**[1:19:30] Violet**
What is this? Are you insulting me?
**[1:19:33] Diablo**
I am only speaking the truth.
**[1:19:43] Diablo**
Very well.
**[1:19:45] Diablo**
If you will leave the Kingdom of Raja alone,
**[1:19:48] Diablo**
I won't tell anyone what you've done.
**[1:19:51] Violet**
Huh?
**[1:19:52] Violet**
Why should I have to do as you say?
**[1:19:55] Diablo**
Even though I am here personally,
asking you ever so politely?
**[1:20:00] Violet**
What's polite about any of this?
**[1:20:10] Diablo**
Oh, I do despise resorting to
barbaric means such as brute force.
**[1:20:15] Violet**
Yeah? Well, try me if you think you can.
**[1:20:19] Violet**
And you know, I've always thought
you were a pain in the ass.
**[1:20:27] Diablo**
The feeling is mutual, I'm sure.
**[1:20:57] Shion**
Come on, bring it!
**[1:21:02] Shion**
So the big boss shows himself, eh?
**[1:21:12] Violet**
Have you... gotten stronger?
**[1:21:16] Diablo**
Worry not.
**[1:21:17] Diablo**
I have not used any more power
than you are capable of using.
**[1:21:20] Violet**
Ugh, you're pissing me off!
**[1:21:23] Violet**
Just because you incarnated
and even got a name,
**[1:21:26] Violet**
you think you can boss me around?
**[1:21:29] Diablo**
You're welcome to be even
more jealous if you want.
**[1:21:32] Violet**
Just die!
**[1:21:45] Violet**
Well?
**[1:21:46] Violet**
How'd you like the taste
of my Nihilistic Vanish?
**[1:22:04] Violet**
Are you serious?! My magic...
**[1:22:07] Diablo**
I let it hit me to give you a handicap,
**[1:22:11] Diablo**
but it seems you have reached your limit.
**[1:22:13] Violet**
Limit?
**[1:22:20] Violet**
Time's up, huh?
**[1:22:23] Diablo**
It appears the temporary body you made
from magicules has begun to fall apart.
**[1:22:29] Violet**
Hmph.
**[1:22:29] Violet**
This is nothing.
**[1:22:32] Violet**
What? You trying to interfere?
**[1:22:34] Zonda**
This is over, milady.
**[1:22:37] Zonda**
Lord Noir... no, Lord Diablo...
**[1:22:40] Zonda**
Would you be so kind as
to lay down your arms now?
**[1:22:44] Violet**
I can still fight!
**[1:22:46] Veyron**
Milady, I bring a report.
**[1:22:48] Violet**
I know you can tell this
isn't the time for that!
**[1:22:51] Veyron**
Lacua has taken matters into his own hands,
**[1:22:53] Veyron**
just as Lord Diablo said.
**[1:22:56] Veyron**
Raja is being attacked by
its neighboring country.
**[1:23:00] Violet**
What?
**[1:23:01] Veyron**
It appears Lacua instigated
this with false information.
**[1:23:05] Veyron**
And he did something to the queen's body
other than just the Curse Poison.
**[1:23:09] Violet**
That puts a black mark on our contract.
**[1:23:12] Violet**
It's no fun this way.
**[1:23:14] Veyron**
Indeed.
**[1:23:15] Veyron**
It would seem that, unfortunately,
the contract must be voided.
**[1:23:19] Violet**
Nothing I can do, I guess.
**[1:23:24] Diablo**
Are you done talking now?
**[1:23:26] Diablo**
I have no interest in your
personal circumstances,
**[1:23:29] Diablo**
so if you will leave Raja alone,
I will overlook this matter.
**[1:23:34] Violet**
That condescending tone...
**[1:23:36] Violet**
You really do have an awful personality.
**[1:23:39] Violet**
Okay, fine.
**[1:23:40] Violet**
I'll be the one overlooking this matter.
**[1:23:42] Violet**
You'd better be grateful for my kindness.
**[1:23:45] Diablo**
What?
**[1:23:46] Diablo**
You are as self-serving as ever, I see.
**[1:23:48] Violet**
That's what I should be saying to you.
**[1:23:55] Veyron**
Now, milady...
**[1:23:56] Violet**
Yeah, I know.
**[1:24:05] Violet**
By the way, who gave you the name "Diablo"?
**[1:24:09] Violet**
Who in the world is capable of naming you?
**[1:24:13] Diablo**
Someone most exalted.
**[1:24:16] Violet**
Uh-huh...
**[1:24:17] Diablo**
I will gladly tell you all about
Great Rimuru's glory some other time.
**[1:24:25] Violet**
Rimuru, huh?
**[1:24:27] Violet**
So long.
**[1:24:40] Diablo**
Imagine leaving without
cleaning up your mess.
**[1:24:45] Diablo**
She's making so much work for us.
**[1:24:50] Shuna**
Queen Towa, are you all right?
**[1:24:53] Towa**
Yes, I'm fine.
**[1:24:54] Towa**
I'm more concerned about Hiiro...
**[1:24:58] Shuna**
You can count on my brother to handle him.
**[1:25:22] Benimaru**
You're still good.
**[1:25:28] Benimaru**
Even in that form...
**[1:25:32] Benimaru**
You still have every bit of Hiiro's spirit!
**[1:25:36] Benimaru**
But...
**[1:25:55] Benimaru**
Come back to us, Brother!
**[1:26:04] Rimuru**
What's wrong? Done playing
tag with us already?
**[1:26:06] Lacua**
Keep talking!
**[1:26:18] Lacua**
You're just a rookie Demon Lord!
**[1:26:20] Lacua**
I already know that you're only borrowing
**[1:26:24] Lacua**
the Storm Dragon Veldora's authority!
**[1:26:27] Rimuru**
That's fine, but you might
want to face forward.
**[1:26:30] Lacua**
Huh?
**[1:26:52] Rimuru**
He can fly, too?
**[1:26:54] Rimuru**
Also, does that mean...
**[1:26:56] Rimuru**
he's a demon?
**[1:27:07] Shuna**
Now, Queen Towa!
**[1:27:29] Shuna**
Brother Hiiro! Is he back?!
**[1:27:42] Benimaru**
No, I don't think he's fully back.
**[1:28:00] Benimaru**
Get away from here!
**[1:28:19] Benimaru**
If this continues,
he'll just cause more damage.
**[1:28:22] Benimaru**
Stop, Hiiro!
**[1:28:30] Rimuru**
What's wrong? Can't run away any longer?
**[1:28:34] Lacua**
Sh-Shut up!
**[1:28:43] Chikuan**
Lacua!
**[1:28:45] Chikuan**
I'll back you up!
**[1:28:46] Rimuru**
So you were on his side, you quack doctor?
**[1:28:49] Rimuru**
No wonder I couldn't see any
signs that you'd treated her.
**[1:28:53] Ranga**
Let me handle him!
**[1:28:55] Rimuru**
Okay. He's all yours!
**[1:29:00] Chikuan**
A mere mutt is no match for me!
**[1:29:22] Rimuru**
*He* was no match for Ranga.
**[1:29:25] Rimuru**
So... Lacua, was it?
**[1:29:27] Rimuru**
You're about to meet the same end.
**[1:29:30] Rimuru**
That's okay with you, right?
**[1:29:31] Lacua**
Don't you underestimate me,
you rookie Demon Lord!
**[1:30:29] Rimuru**
You're done already?
**[1:30:31] Rimuru**
Anything you still want to say? No?
**[1:30:34] Lacua**
W-Wait! Just try and kill me!
**[1:30:37] Lacua**
My lady will not let it slide!
**[1:30:39] Rimuru**
Your... lady?
**[1:30:41] Lacua**
That's right! A mere slime
like you is no match for—
**[1:30:46] Violet**
*Hey, Lacua.*
**[1:30:47] Lacua**
Oh! Goddess of all creation!
**[1:30:52] Lacua**
I'm right here!
**[1:30:53] Lacua**
Your faithful servant, Lacua, is right here!
**[1:30:57] Violet**
*Shut up.*
**[1:30:58] Violet**
* Looks like you thought you*
* could do whatever you wanted*
**[1:31:01] Violet**
*just because you incarnated and got a name.*
**[1:31:04] Lacua**
Goodness, no!
**[1:31:05] Lacua**
You are mistaken!
**[1:31:06] Lacua**
I made Towa use a great deal of magic!
**[1:31:09] Lacua**
Her body will be yours in no time!
**[1:31:13] Rimuru**
Who is he talking to?
**[1:31:15] Violet**
*Look, I wanted those queens to
*choose *to give themselves to me.*
**[1:31:23] Violet**
* Who told you to take matters*
* into your own hands?*
**[1:31:27] Violet**
*I only told you to observe them, did I not?*
**[1:31:30] Lacua**
H-Huh?
**[1:31:32] Lacua**
But I thought the more she suffered,
**[1:31:35] Lacua**
the more pleased you would be...
**[1:31:37] Violet**
*My fun is ruined, all because of this idiot.*
**[1:31:41] Lacua**
I-I only hoped to gain more power
**[1:31:44] Lacua**
so that you would welcome me by your side...
**[1:31:49] Violet**
*I don't need incompetent servants.*
**[1:31:50] Violet**
*Take responsibility for what you've done.*
**[1:31:54] Rimuru**
Looks like you just got tossed aside.
**[1:31:58] Lacua**
W-Wait!
**[1:31:59] Rimuru**
I can't sit by and let anyone
toy with other people's lives.
**[1:32:03] Rimuru**
To make sure no more lives end up ruined,
**[1:32:06] Rimuru**
I'm gonna finish you off right now.
**[1:32:10] Lacua**
Damn it all!
**[1:32:11] Lacua**
If I'm going to die anyway...
**[1:32:13] Lacua**
I'm taking you all with me!
**[1:32:39] Lacua**
My Nuclear Flame...
**[1:32:43] Lacua**
will reduce you...
**[1:32:46] Lacua**
and this entire country...
**[1:32:49] Lacua**
to a pile of ash!
**[1:33:05] Lacua**
Nuclear...
**[1:33:09] Rimuru**
Devour all, Beelzebub!
**[1:33:12] Lacua**
...Flame!
**[1:33:31] Rimuru**
Raphael-san, report.
**[1:33:33] Raphael**
*Notice.*
**[1:33:34] Raphael**
* The immense amount of energy*
* has been fully absorbed.*
**[1:33:37] Raphael**
*No harm was done.*
**[1:33:38] Rimuru**
Okay, great.
**[1:33:41] Ranga**
That's my master!
**[1:33:44] Rimuru**
* Apparently, Lacua replaced all the*
* army leaders with his own lackeys.*
**[1:33:48] Shion**
Then these guys...
**[1:33:51] Rimuru**
*Yep. You can kill them.*
**[1:33:54] Shion**
Leave it to me!
**[1:34:07] Hakuro**
This was a bit too much for you.
**[1:34:11] Gobta**
Way to go, Master!
**[1:34:13] Gabiru**
Vortex Crash!
**[1:34:23] Soei**
*Great Rimuru, it is over.*
**[1:34:26] Rimuru**
Good work.
**[1:34:27] Rimuru**
If the remaining soldiers
have no will to fight,
**[1:34:30] Rimuru**
you can let them go home for today.
**[1:34:32] Soei**
*Understood.*
**[1:34:34] Rimuru**
Now, that just leaves...
**[1:34:54] Benimaru**
Hiiro...
**[1:34:56] Benimaru**
You don't want to make your beloved
master worry any more, do you?
**[1:35:06] Benimaru**
Sorry, but I won't be
holding back from here on.
**[1:35:10] Towa**
Hiiro...
**[1:35:17] Benimaru**
Please don't die.
**[1:35:23] Benimaru**
Haze of Black Smoke!
**[1:35:40] Shuna**
Brother!
**[1:35:45] Towa**
Hiiro!
**[1:35:48] Benimaru**
He can still move?
**[1:35:58] Shuna**
Queen Towa!
**[1:36:51] Benimaru**
Hiiro! Hiiro!
**[1:36:55] Benimaru**
Brother!
**[1:37:04] Benimaru**
Brother!
**[1:37:06] Hiiro**
Young master...
**[1:37:09] Hiiro**
You've... gotten stronger.
**[1:37:14] Benimaru**
Not as strong as you.
**[1:37:16] Benimaru**
I had faith that you'd return
to your senses on your own.
**[1:37:20] Hiiro**
My soul... is not mine alone, after all.
**[1:37:31] Hiiro**
The price... for using this power...
**[1:37:35] Towa**
Hiiro!
**[1:37:36] Shuna**
Brother Hiiro!
**[1:37:39] Rimuru**
Benimaru! Use a full potion!
**[1:37:41] Raphael**
* He is paying the price*
* for using the Curse Orb.*
***SIGN*** Cannot Heal
**[1:37:44] Raphael**
*The potion is ineffective.*
**[1:37:53] Hiiro**
This is enough.
**[1:37:55] Benimaru**
Brother!
**[1:37:56] Hiiro**
Shuna...
**[1:37:59] Hiiro**
I always thought of you
as my real little sister.
**[1:38:03] Shuna**
Brother Hiiro...
**[1:38:05] Hiiro**
The others are waiting...
**[1:38:08] Hiiro**
just ahead... after all.
**[1:38:13] Hiiro**
Queen Towa...
**[1:38:17] Hiiro**
I'm so happy...
**[1:38:20] Hiiro**
to have found...
**[1:38:24] Hiiro**
a master worth serving...
**[1:38:28] Hiiro**
in the end.
**[1:38:42] Towa**
I won't allow it.
**[1:38:46] Towa**
I won't allow you to leave my side.
**[1:38:51] Towa**
Ugly Tiara!
**[1:38:53] Towa**
Give me a miracle!
**[1:38:56] Towa**
Goddess, give me your power!
**[1:39:21] Hiiro**
Q-Queen Towa?
**[1:39:33] Hiiro**
Queen Towa?!
**[1:39:34] Hiiro**
Queen Towa!
**[1:39:41] Hiiro**
Queen Towa!
**[1:39:55] Raphael**
*This is the price of the wish she made.*
**[1:39:57] Raphael**
*Nothing can be done.*
**[1:40:01] Hiiro**
She saved my life twice, and...
**[1:40:06] Hiiro**
I still...
**[1:40:10] Hiiro**
can't do anything for her?
**[1:40:34] Violet**
The contract had to be voided
because of my own negligence.
**[1:40:38] Violet**
To thank you for all the
entertainment you've given me,
**[1:40:42] Violet**
I'll splurge a little as an apology.
**[1:40:52] Rimuru**
What is this?
**[1:40:53] Rimuru**
What's happening?
**[1:40:54] Raphael**
*Notice.*
**[1:40:55] Raphael**
*Confirmed interference by another party.*
**[1:41:04] Hiiro**
Queen Towa?
**[1:41:11] Hiiro**
Queen Towa!
**[1:41:12] Towa**
Hiiro?
**[1:41:25] Raphael**
*The Curse Poison has completely disappeared.*
**[1:41:28] Rimuru**
Was this what you had
"an idea" about, Diablo?
**[1:41:33] Rimuru**
You'll have to explain all this later.
**[1:41:37] Diablo**
With pleasure.
**[1:41:48] Crowd**
Cheers!
**[1:41:51] Gobta**
Thanks!
**[1:41:52] Crowd**
Yeah! Yeah!
**[1:42:02] Mobuji**
Rimuru!
**[1:42:05] Mobuji**
Thank you for all the help you've given us.
**[1:42:10] Mobuji**
How in the world can we ever thank you?
**[1:42:13] Minister**
Even if we wanted to, as you know,
we have very little to offer...
**[1:42:19] Rimuru**
Yeah, about that...
**[1:42:22] Soei**
A vein of iron ore was found in a cave that
collapsed in Benimaru and Hiiro's battle.
**[1:42:28] Mobuji**
But there is little demand for iron ore...
**[1:42:32] Mobuji**
There are other nations that supply it.
**[1:42:35] Rimuru**
Well, you can never have too much iron ore.
**[1:42:37] Rimuru**
We'll buy it from you.
**[1:42:40] Mobuji**
You mean you'll contribute to
the rebuilding of our kingdom?!
**[1:42:44] Minister**
In that case, the surrounding nations
will find it harder to mess with us!
**[1:42:49] Mobuji**
We couldn't possibly ask for more.
**[1:42:51] Mobuji**
But are you certain?
**[1:42:54] Rimuru**
Of course. It's give-and-take.
**[1:42:56] Rimuru**
Besides...
**[1:42:58] Rimuru**
I like Towa-san for her
willingness to risk her own life
**[1:43:02] Rimuru**
to save someone else's.
**[1:43:05] Rimuru**
You all agree, right?
**[1:43:06] Benimaru**
Yes.
**[1:43:07] Hakuro**
Indeed.
**[1:43:08] Shuna**
Yes!
**[1:43:09] Soei**
No objections.
**[1:43:10] Shion**
Of course!
**[1:43:11] Shion**
We love Queen Towa and Brother Hiiro
as much as we love Great Rimuru!
**[1:43:16] Rimuru**
Thanks!
**[1:43:18] Diablo**
The same goes for me.
**[1:43:20] Rimuru**
What, you're still here?
**[1:43:25] Rimuru**
Well, then...
**[1:43:26] Rimuru**
Here's to the future of the
Kingdom of Raja and Tempest!
**[1:43:41] Towa**
Thank you for protecting this country,
**[1:43:46] Towa**
and all of us, for this long.
**[1:43:49] Towa**
From now on, I will stand on my own
**[1:43:51] Towa**
and build a future along with all of them.
**[1:43:55] Towa**
To the goddess who gave us the tiara.
**[1:44:04] Rimuru**
Wh-What the heck is this?!
**[1:44:13] Rimuru**
V-Veldora-kun?
**[1:44:15] Rimuru**
I entrusted you with looking
after things here, didn't I?
**[1:44:18] Veldora**
It's not my fault.
**[1:44:20] Veldora**
Milim showed up,
so I just played with her a bit.
**[1:44:23] Milim**
That's right. I just came here to play,
**[1:44:27] Milim**
but it was boring because you weren't here,
**[1:44:29] Milim**
so I just played with Veldora a bit.
**[1:44:32] Rigurd**
F-Forgive us, Great Rimuru.
**[1:44:34] Rigurd**
We tried to stop them...
**[1:44:36] Rigur**
But we weren't strong enough.
**[1:44:38] Rimuru**
Of course you couldn't stop them.
**[1:44:40] Rimuru**
Just trying to is impressive enough.
**[1:44:43] Rimuru**
Honestly...
**[1:44:44] Rimuru**
I'm not getting the latest volumes
of your manga for a while!
**[1:44:48] Veldora**
What?! B-But that's too cruel!
**[1:44:57] Rimuru**
You deserve it.
**[1:44:59] Rimuru**
And you, Milim?
**[1:45:01] Milim**
M-Me?
**[1:45:04] Frey**
Let's have a nice, long talk, shall we?
**[1:45:11] Rimuru**
They've got guts to piss me
off this much. What a handful.
