<br>**[02:00] Rimuru**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;*One day, when I had just a few days left <br>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;as a teacher at Freedom Academy...*<br>**[02:04] Rimuru**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;*I was summoned out of the blue by Yuuki.*<br>**[02:07] Yuuki**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;You seem to have<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;a lot of time on your hands.<br>**[02:10] Rimuru**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;No, I'm very busy.<br>**[02:11] Rimuru**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;I need to get ready<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;to head back to Tempest, too.<br>**[02:14] Yuuki**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;But you're free over<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;summer break, aren't you?<br>**[02:16] Rimuru**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;I just said I have to get ready to go home!<br>**[02:18] Yuuki**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;See, the thing is,<br>**[02:20] Yuuki**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;there are big problems<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;in the Kingdom of Coleus right now.<br>**[02:23] Rimuru**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;I *told* you...<br>**[02:26] Rimuru**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Fine, I'll listen, but that's all.<br>**[02:28] Rimuru**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Where's the Kingdom of Coleus?<br>**[02:30] Yuuki**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Between the Kingdom of Engrassia<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;and the Holy Empire Lubelius.<br>***SIGN***&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Kusha Mountains

<br>**[02:35] Yuuki**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;To put it simply, they're dealing<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;with a battle for succession.<br>**[02:39] Yuuki**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The fight is between the older brother,<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Crown Prince Souther Coleus,<br>**[02:43] Yuuki**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;and his younger brother, the son<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;of a concubine, Prince Aslan Coleus.<br>**[02:48] Yuuki**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Under normal circumstances,<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;it wouldn't even be a contest,<br>**[02:51] Yuuki**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;but that's where there's a problem.<br>**[02:52] Rimuru**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;And what is the problem?<br>**[02:55] Yuuki**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;I'm not sure I can tell someone who<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;won't promise to help, even if it's you...<br>**[03:00] Rimuru**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Oh, okay. I guess that's the end of—<br>**[03:02] Yuuki**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Really?!<br>**[03:03] Yuuki**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;It's so reassuring to hear you say that!<br>**[03:05] Rimuru**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Eh?<br>**[03:06] Yuuki**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The thing is, Prince Aslan<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;is an A-rank adventurer!<br>**[03:10] Rimuru**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Huh?!<br>**[03:11] Yuuki**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;He's a great man known far and wide<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;as the Hero of the Blistering Sands!<br>**[03:14] Yuuki**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;He's someone even our<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Freedom Union can't overlook!<br>**[03:18] Rimuru**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;I haven't said that I'm going to...<br>**[03:20] Yuuki**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;But you will, won't you?<br>**[03:22] Yuuki**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Since you so generously offered to help,<br>**[03:25] Yuuki**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;of course I'll give you all<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;the information I have!<br>**[03:28] Rimuru**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;*This little...*<br>**[03:31] Rimuru**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;For now, how about you just<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;tell me what's going on?<br>**[03:36] Yuuki**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Prince Aslan's charisma is the real deal.<br>**[03:39] Yuuki**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;He won over the Kingdom<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;of Coleus's guildmaster<br>**[03:42] Yuuki**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;and led the guild in a rebellion.<br>**[03:45] Yuuki**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;It's now under Prince Aslan's jurisdiction,<br>**[03:47] Yuuki**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;and it's declared independence<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;from the guild HQ.<br>**[03:49] Rimuru**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;How'd the guilds in<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;the surrounding nations take that?<br>**[03:52] Yuuki**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;They're monitoring things.<br>**[03:53] Yuuki**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;But if they allow it, it could<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;endanger public trust in HQ.<br>**[03:57] Rimuru**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Can't HQ intervene directly?<br>**[04:00] Yuuki**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;They can't.<br>**[04:01] Yuuki**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Kingdom of Coleus is part<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;of a larger council of nations,<br>**[04:04] Yuuki**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;so if they're told not to interfere,<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;they can't force it.<br>**[04:07] Rimuru**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Then why don't they order the surrounding<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;guilds to halt distribution of goods?<br>**[04:11] Yuuki**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Kingdom of Coleus<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;isn't super keen on diplomacy.<br>**[04:14] Yuuki**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;They already keep trade to a minimum.<br>**[04:17] Rimuru**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;It seems like they have no options.<br>**[04:19] Rimuru**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;What do they expect me to do?<br>**[04:21] Yuuki**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;They believe the only way to resolve this<br>**[04:23] Yuuki**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;would be to sneak into the Kingdom<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;of Coleus in a covert operation.<br>**[04:27] Rimuru**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;If you're talking about<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;assassinating Prince Aslan,<br>**[04:31] Rimuru**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;you know I'm not gonna do it.<br>**[04:34] Yuuki**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;I wouldn't dump<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;a dirty job like that on you.<br>**[04:38] Yuuki**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;What I'm requesting is that you win<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;the support of an adventurer named Paulo.<br>**[04:42] Yuuki**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;He's currently being considered<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;for promotion to rank A.<br>**[04:45] Rimuru**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Uh-huh.<br>**[04:46] Yuuki**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;I'd like you to work with Paulo<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;to find out what the deal is on both sides.<br>**[04:51] Rimuru**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;So just gathering intel?<br>**[04:52] Yuuki**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Anyone doing an investigation like<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;this alone would be conspicuous, right?<br>**[04:56] Yuuki**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;And an A-ranker is famous<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;enough to draw suspicion,<br>**[04:59] Yuuki**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;so someone who's capable<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;but wouldn't stand out is ideal.<br>**[05:02] Rimuru**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;And what about this Paulo guy?<br>**[05:04] Yuuki**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;He's a young man<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;who just left the countryside,<br>**[05:07] Yuuki**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;so he wouldn't be able to negotiate<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;with nobles or anything.<br>**[05:10] Yuuki**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;I was thinking of getting him<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;to infiltrate the Aslan faction.<br>**[05:13] Rimuru**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Which means you want me to infiltrate<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;the Crown Prince Souther faction, huh?<br>**[05:18] Yuuki**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Even if you just learn their reputations<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;and what rumors are out there,<br>**[05:21] Yuuki**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;the knowledge can be used to<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;determine which side we should back.<br>**[05:25] Rimuru**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;So in other words, you'd consider backing<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Prince Aslan, depending on what's going on?<br>**[05:30] Yuuki**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Exactly.<br>**[05:31] Yuuki**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Intel-gathering should be<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;a piece of cake for you, right?<br>**[05:35] Rimuru**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Well, I do like spy movies and stuff...<br>**[05:38] Yuuki**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;So you'll do it?!<br>**[05:39] Rimuru**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Whoa! I can't make<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;a decision like this so easily!<br>**[05:42] Rimuru**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;I'm thinking about it!<br>**[05:44] Yuuki**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Oh?<br>**[05:46] Yuuki**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Come on, Rimuru-san.<br>**[05:48] Yuuki**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Please help me out.<br>**[05:50] Yuuki**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Okay? Okay?<br>**[05:51] Rimuru**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;You never give up, do you?<br>**[05:53] Rimuru**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;I'm still thinking about it.<br>**[05:55] Tiss**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Chairman? What brings you here?<br>**[05:59] Yuuki**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;It seems Rimuru-sensei is heading<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;out on a little trip tomorrow.<br>**[06:02] Yuuki**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;We're discussing that.<br>**[06:04] Tiss**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Really? Where will you be going?<br>**[06:07] Rimuru**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Huh?<br>**[06:08] Rimuru**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;O-Oh, you know,<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;just wandering around aimlessly...<br>**[06:12] Jeff**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;In that case, might I recommend<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;the Kingdom of Coleus?<br>**[06:17] Jeff**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;It's regarded as a hot country<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;because it's near a desert,<br>**[06:21] Jeff**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;but it's cool at night,<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;so it's famous among the nobility<br>**[06:23] Jeff**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;as a place to escape the summer heat.<br>**[06:26] Rimuru**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;O-Oh, is that right?<br>**[06:29] Jeff**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;I would be glad to write<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;a letter of introduction for you.<br>**[06:32] Rimuru**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;U-Uh...<br>**[06:40] Rimuru**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Please do.<br>**[06:42] Jeff**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Marquis Amadi of the Kingdom<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;of Coleus will surely accommodate you.<br>**[06:47] Jeff**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;And what name shall I give for you?<br>**[06:50] Rimuru**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Huh?<br>**[06:53] Jeff**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Oh? Feigning ignorance, are we?<br>**[06:55] Jeff**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Do you intend to carry out a undercover<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;investigation under the name "Rimuru"?<br>**[06:59] Rimuru**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Huh?!<br>**[07:00] Yuuki**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Nothing gets past you, eh?<br>**[07:02] Yuuki**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;How'd you know?<br>**[07:04] Jeff**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;I previously looked<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;into Rimuru-sensei's origins,<br>**[07:08] Jeff**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;but even my most talented<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;men could find nothing<br>**[07:11] Jeff**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;beyond his exploits<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;in the Kingdom of Blumund.<br>**[07:14] Jeff**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;But they say a nation of monsters arose in<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;the Great Forest of Jura at the same time.<br>**[07:19] Jeff**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;One cannot be expected<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;to view this as mere coincidence.<br>**[07:21] Jeff**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Wouldn't you agree?<br>**[07:23] Rimuru**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Y-You're pretty sharp...<br>**[07:26] Jeff**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;That is exactly the problem with you!<br>**[07:29] Jeff**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;You should have pretended<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;you knew nothing of that!<br>**[07:32] Jeff**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;But perhaps that is just<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;what makes you so great.<br>**[07:37] Rimuru**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Huh?<br>**[07:39] Rimuru**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;But I thought you hated me...<br>**[07:41] Jeff**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Hmph.<br>**[07:42] Jeff**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;I could never hate someone<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;who saved my dear younger sister.<br>**[07:46] Jeff**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Regardless, my point is<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;that you leave yourself too open.<br>**[07:49] Rimuru**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;I'll be more careful from now on.<br>**[07:52] Jeff**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Indeed. Please do that.<br>**[07:55] Jeff**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;An investigation at this level<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;is simple, even for me.<br>**[07:58] Jeff**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Do keep that in mind.<br>**[08:01] Jeff**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;So? What alias will you go by?<br>**[08:06] Rimuru**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Satoru.<br>**[08:08] Jeff**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Satoru?<br>**[08:10] Jeff**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Hm...
