[00:01] Narrator
    The day after the defeat
    of the Demon Lord Geld,
[00:04] Narrator
    representatives of each
    race gathered together
[00:07] Narrator
    to discuss what would
    happen after the battle.
[00:10] Treyni
    Chairman Rimuru Tempest,
    please begin the conference.
[00:14] Rimuru
    Uh...
SIGN    That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime
SIGN    Episode 15: The Jura Forest Alliance
[01:53] Rimuru
    Uh... I've never led a meeting like this
    before, so it's not my strong suit.
[01:57] Rimuru
    So I'll just say what's on my mind.
[02:00] Rimuru
    I'd like you to save your
    deliberations until after that.
[02:05] Rimuru
    I'll start by saying this: I don't intend
    to charge the Orcs with any crimes.
[02:12] Rimuru
    I know this may upset the Lizardmen,
    who suffered the most casualties,
[02:16] Rimuru
    but hear me out.
[02:18] Rimuru
    The cause of all this was
    starvation due to a famine.
[02:21] Rimuru
    Anyone, of any race, might have made
    the same choices under those conditions.
[02:28] Rimuru
    Of course, this is just my
    public stance on the matter.
[02:32] Chieftain
    Then may we hear your personal
    thoughts on it, as well?
[02:37] Rimuru
    I've taken all of the Orcs' sins upon myself.
[02:40] Rimuru
    If anyone has a complaint, bring it to me.
[02:42] General
    P-Please, wait!
[02:44] General
    Surely there is no logic to—
[02:46] Rimuru
    That was my promise with the Demon Lord Geld.
[02:55] Chieftain
    I see.
[02:57] Chieftain
    However, I feel that answer
    is somewhat unfair.
[03:01] Rimuru
    Yeah, I can see why he
    wouldn't accept it so easily.
[03:06] Benimaru
    There is one immutable rule
    shared among all monsters:
[03:10] Benimaru
    "Survival of the fittest."
[03:12] Benimaru
    The moment they faced each other,
    they were both prepared for that.
[03:16] Rimuru
    You guys lost your home, too.
    Don't you have any complaints?
[03:20] Benimaru
    I would be lying if I said we didn't,
[03:22] Benimaru
    but if it happens again, we will not
    disgrace ourselves a second time.
[03:28] Rimuru
    Uh-huh...
[03:30] Chieftain
    I see... That is a fair point.
[03:33] Chieftain
    But there is one thing I must know.
[03:37] Rimuru
    What's that?
[03:39] Chieftain
    What will be done with the Orcs?
[03:44] Chieftain
    You have said you will not
    charge them with any crimes.
[03:47] Chieftain
    Does that mean you intend to
    accept all of their survivors?
[03:53] Rimuru
    Even with their numbers down,
    there are still 150,000 of them.
[03:58] Rimuru
    That being the case...
[04:00] Rimuru
    It may sound like some kind of dream,
[04:03] Rimuru
    but I'm thinking we can all work together.
[04:06] Chieftain
    Work together?
[04:07] Sis
    Meaning what, exactly?
[04:11] Rimuru
    The Lizardmen will share a
    clean water source and fish,
[04:14] Rimuru
    the Goblins will offer places to live,
[04:16] Rimuru
    and our town will give them processed goods.
[04:20] Rimuru
    And in return,
[04:21] Rimuru
    the Orcs will contribute labor.
[04:26] Rimuru
    All the races of the Great Forest
    of Jura will form an alliance
[04:29] Rimuru
    and build a mutually
    cooperative relationship.
[04:31] Rimuru
    It'd be really cool if we could create
    a nation where all races could coexist!
[04:36] General
    A-And you're saying we could
    also take part in this alliance?
[04:42] Rimuru
    Well, you have nowhere else to go, do you?
[04:44] Rimuru
    I have a place for you, so do some work.
[04:47] Rimuru
    I won't tolerate slackers.
[04:52] All
    Yes, sir!
[04:53] General
    Of course! Of course we will!
[04:56] General
    We will devote our lives to our work!
[05:02] Chieftain
    We would be honored to join forces with you.
[05:05] Rimuru
    Treyni-san, is that okay with you?
[05:08] Treyni
    Certainly.
[05:09] Treyni
    The Treants under my protection will
    share the bounty of the forest, as well.
[05:15] Treyni
    I believe we can alleviate the
    Orcs' hunger for some time.
[05:21] Treyni
    Then...
[05:23] Treyni
    As a caretaker of the forest,
[05:25] Treyni
    I, Treyni, hereby pledge
[05:28] Treyni
    to acknowledge Great Rimuru as the new
    chancellor of the Great Forest of Jura...
[05:32] Rimuru
    Chancellor?!
[05:34] Treyni
    ...and declare the Jura Forest Alliance
[05:37] Treyni
    to be established under Chancellor Rimuru.
[05:41] Rimuru
    Uh... Er... Buh...
[05:46] Rimuru
    S-Somehow I just ended up the
    chancellor of the alliance...
[05:49] Rimuru
    Not Treyni-san?!
[05:52] Rimuru
    And declining really doesn't
    seem like an option right now...
[05:56] Rimuru
    F-Fine, I will! I'll do it!
[06:00] Rimuru
    Okay, um... I guess that's how it's gonna be,
[06:04] Rimuru
    so I'm counting on all of you!
[06:06] All
    Yes, sir!
[06:08] Rimuru
    And thus, while I was left in
    an uncontrollable cold sweat,
[06:11] Rimuru
    the Jura Forest Alliance was established.
[06:16] Benimaru
    You need something?
[06:19] General
    Even in the name of survival of the fittest,
[06:21] General
    hate is not a thing that
    can be resolved so easily.
[06:26] General
    For what we did to your village...
[06:33] General
    I cannot apologize enough.
[06:36] General
    I realize this is a selfish request...
[06:40] General
    but please, take my head as penance
    and have mercy on the others!
[06:50] Benimaru
    After the battle, we told Great Rimuru
    that we wished to continue serving him,
[06:56] Benimaru
    and he gave us official titles.
[06:59] Shion
    I am a Samurai, bodyguard to Great Rimuru.
SIGN    Samurai
[07:03] Shion
    I'm also his secretary.
SIGN    Instructor
SIGN    Spy
[07:05] Benimaru
    Hakuro is an Instructor, and Soei is a Spy.
SIGN    Swordsmith
SIGN    Holy
    Princess
[07:09] Benimaru
    Shuna and Kurobei, who remained in
    the village, have titles, as well.
[07:12] Benimaru
    And I received the title of Samurai General.
SIGN    Samurai
    General
[07:18] Benimaru
    That puts me in charge of military affairs.
[07:21] Benimaru
    And now that I'm in this position,
[07:23] Benimaru
    I can't very well rob us of a
    capable fighter, now, can I?
[07:33] Benimaru
    I will show no mercy to any
    who do wrong to Great Rimuru,
[07:37] Benimaru
    but if you join the alliance and revere
    him as your chancellor, we are not enemies.
[07:41] General
    I wouldn't dream of doing him wrong!
[07:43] General
    He saved all of us.
[07:46] General
    I wish only to serve him.
    I could never bear him ill will!
[07:50] Benimaru
    Then we are fellow servants
    under the same master.
[07:55] Benimaru
    Do your best to be useful to Great Rimuru.
[07:57] Benimaru
    I'll accept that as your apology.
[08:06] General
    I swear on the name of my father King Geld.
[08:11] Rimuru
    Benimaru is such a gracious guy.
[08:14] Rimuru
    I should learn from him.
[08:17] Rimuru
    And I'll have to give that one a name,
[08:19] Rimuru
    as the new leader of the Orcs.
[08:23] Rimuru
    In hopes that you inherit the
    wishes of the Orc Disaster, Geld,
[08:28] Rimuru
    I grant you the name "Geld."
[08:30] Geld
    Yes, sir!
[08:32] Rimuru
    Lead the Orcs well.
[08:34] Geld
    Yes, sir.
[08:41] Rimuru
    The new Orc ruler, Geld,
    evolved into the Orc King.
[08:46] Rimuru
    After that...
[08:48] Rimuru
    I spent ten days naming all 150,000 Orcs.
[08:55] Rimuru
    It goes without saying that I
    went into sleep mode after that.
[08:59] Rimuru
    I also gave the name "Abiru"
    to the Lizardmen's chieftain.
[09:05] Rimuru
    His son, Gabiru,
[09:07] Rimuru
    was charged with the crime of treason.
[09:10] Gabiru
    I'm sure to receive the death penalty.
[09:13] Gabiru
    That's as it should be.
[09:14] Gabiru
    It's the only way to set an example.
[09:18] Gabiru
    But... if there's one thing I regret...
[09:24] Gabiru
    I wish I had asked him why he saved me.
[09:29] Gabiru
    A worthless fool like me...
[09:32] Abiru
    Raise your head.
[09:36] Abiru
    I will now state the verdict.
[09:39] Gabiru
    I will, at least, accept the
    death penalty with grace.
[09:44] Abiru
    Gabiru, you will be
    excommunicated and exiled.
[09:47] Abiru
    You will never call yourself
    a Lizardman again.
[09:51] Abiru
    Cast him out at once!
[09:54] Gabiru
    What... did he say?!
[10:02] Lizard
    You forgot something.
[10:04] Lizard
    Here.
[10:25] Lizard
    Sir Gabiru!
[10:28] Lizard
    Hey!
[10:28] Lizard
    Sir Gabiru!
[10:30] Lizard
    We've been waiting for you, Sir Gabiru!
[10:32] Lizard
    We were getting sick of waiting!
[10:34] Lizard
    Time is money.
[10:36] Gabiru
    Wh-What are you guys doing?!
[10:39] Gabiru
    I've been excommunicated!
[10:41] Lizard
    If you're excommunicated,
    we're all excommunicated!
[10:44] Lizard
    Indeed.
[10:46] Gabiru
    You guys...
[10:49] Gabiru
    You're such fools.
[10:54] Gabiru
    Hopeless, every last one of you!
[10:57] Gabiru
    Very well. I'll look after all of you.
[11:01] Gabiru
    Just follow me!
[11:03] Lizard
    That's our boy!
[11:05] Lizard
    So cool!
[11:06] Lizard
    Most definitely!
[11:11] Laplace
    After you went to the trouble
    of settin' all that up,
[11:13] Laplace
    I bet it's killin' you that a
    new Demon Lord wasn't born, huh?
[11:18] Clayman
    Yes...
[11:21] Clayman
    But I did get to see an interesting sight.
[11:25] Clayman
    Now, what shall I do about that slime?
[11:29] Laplace
    Well, good luck to ya.
[11:31] Laplace
    If ya ever need a hand,
    I'll lend ya one for cheap,
[11:35] Laplace
    Demon Lord Clayman.
[11:43] Narrator
    Three months after the
    defeat of the Orc Lord,
[11:46] Narrator
    the High Orcs that had evolved from the Orcs
[11:49] Narrator
    were learning new skills in no time,
    under Kaijin's instruction,
[11:53] Narrator
    and had become a dependable work force.
[11:59] Rimuru
    It's great that the houses have been built.
[12:01] Rimuru
    We've got clothing and tools, too.
[12:03] Rimuru
    And...
[12:04] Rimuru
    We laid an aqueduct, too!
[12:06] Rimuru
    We even have flushing toilets,
    and both water and sewage systems!
[12:10] Rimuru
    We're building roads, too.
[12:11] Rimuru
    The stuff I learned as a general
    contractor came in handy!
[12:14] Rimuru
    This'll be great for commerce with
    the Lizardmen and other regions.
[12:18] Rimuru
    The bath I asked for will
    be finished soon, too.
[12:21] Rimuru
    I can't wait!
[12:23] Rimuru
    Right, Ranga?
[12:25] Rimuru
    We should all work hard together to make
    this village an even greater place.
[12:29] Ranga
    Yes, master! As you wish!
[12:35] Rimuru
    A place to live in peace...
[12:37] Rimuru
    At last, our town was complete!
[12:41] Rimuru
    But... things just couldn't be that easy.
[12:46] Soei
    Great Rimuru, we have an emergency.
[12:49] Rimuru
    Huh?
[12:59] Soei
    Several hundred pegasus-mounted
    knights are heading this way.
[13:03] Rimuru
    What?
[13:14] (Flashback) Dorf
    Your Majesty, what news?
[13:17] (Flashback) Gazel
    The Orc Lord has been defeated,
    and the war has ended.
[13:22] (Flashback) Dorf
    What?!
[13:24] (Flashback) Gazel
    Rather than rampaging, the 150,000
    surviving Orcs have scattered.
[13:29] (Flashback) Gazel
    On top of that, they've evolved into High Orcs.
[13:31] (Flashback) Dorf
    That can't be...
[13:35] Gazel
    With the participation of several
    superior majin, the war came to an end.
[13:40] Gazel
    Is it safe to assume the majin
    are all serving that slime?
[13:45] Gazel
    One who rules over majin and
    causes monsters to evolve...
[13:49] Gazel
    If this matter is not handled
    with care, this nation may fall.
[13:59] (Flashback) Gazel
    I will see just who this
    slime is with my own eyes.
[14:33] Kaijin
    It can't be...
[14:35] Rimuru
    The Hero King of the Dwarves,
[14:37] Rimuru
    Gazel Dwargo...
[14:40] Benimaru
    Great Rimuru, what shall we do?
[14:43] Rimuru
    I'd rather avoid fighting if possible...
[14:46] Shion
    It's no problem.
    We can just knock them all away.
[14:51] Rimuru
    If it comes down to a fight,
    evacuate the townsfolk.
[14:54] Rimuru
    We'll buy time until then.
[14:57] Benimaru
    Right.
[15:06] Kaijin
    It is a pleasure to see you again.
[15:09] Gazel
    It's been a long time, Kaijin.
[15:11] Kaijin
    Yes, Majesty!
[15:15] Gazel
    You are the slime?
[15:18] Rimuru
    I'll introduce myself first.
[15:20] Rimuru
    My name is Rimuru.
[15:21] Rimuru
    I'm a slime, but I'd rather
    you didn't call me that.
[15:25] Rimuru
    I am the chancellor of the
    Jura Forest Alliance, after all.
[15:30] Rimuru
    This isn't really my true form,
[15:33] Rimuru
    but it's easier to talk to me this way, right?
[15:36] Rimuru
    So... why are you here?
[15:38] Gazel
    I'll get right to the point.
[15:40] Gazel
    Rimuru, I've come to see what you truly are.
[15:45] Rimuru
    What I truly—
[15:46] Gazel
    I will expose your true nature with my sword!
[15:52] Gazel
    Since you boasted of being
    the chancellor of this forest,
[15:56] Gazel
    it seems I must teach you,
    exactly, where you stand!
[15:59] Gazel
    If that sword is more than mere decoration,
[16:03] Gazel
    you would do well to accept my proposal.
[16:07] Dorf
    Your Majesty, are you...
[16:10] Gazel
    An earnest battle is the quickest
    way to settle this, is it not?
[16:14] Rimuru
    All right, then. I accept.
[16:17] Rimuru
    I'll make you regret accusing me of boasting.
[16:34] Gazel
    If you can defend against my
    entire chain of attacks, you win.
[16:40] Gazel
    However...
[16:41] Gazel
    I suggest you do not underestimate the
    sword skill of Master Swordsman Gazel Dwargo.
[16:47] Rimuru
    Fine.
[16:52] Treyni
    Very well. I will serve as
    witness to this contest.
[16:57] Dorf
    Is that... a Dryad?
[17:02] Gazel
    I willingly apologize for
    accusing you of boasting.
[17:06] Gazel
    I have a vague understanding
    of the circumstances now.
[17:10] Rimuru
    Then...
[17:11] Gazel
    But that is a separate matter
    from judging your true nature.
[17:15] Rimuru
    Huh?
[17:17] Gazel
    Now that we have a witness,
    all that remains is to cross swords!
[17:22] Rimuru
    Yeah, I guess so.
[17:24] Rimuru
    I'll win this in no time and make
    you explain what's going on here.
[17:30] Gazel
    If you manage to defeat me,
    you will have your answer.
[17:34] Treyni
    Begin!
[17:46] Gazel
    Is that all the strength you have, Rimuru?
[17:50] Rimuru
    Quiet! I just haven't started
    taking this seriously yet.
[17:53] Rimuru
    Don't rush me.
[18:02] Rimuru
    He's strong, all right...
[18:04] Rimuru
    But I can't just lose this.
[18:11] Rimuru
    That stance...
[18:13] Gazel
    Here I come, Rimuru!
SIGN    Haze: Thunder of Heaven and Earth
[18:15] Gazel
    Haze: Thunder of Heaven and Earth!
[18:21] Rimuru
    The next strike is coming... from above!
[18:38] Gazel
    You managed to stop my strike!
[18:42] Treyni
    Enough.
[18:43] Treyni
    The winner is Rimuru Tempest.
[18:49] Gazel
    I understand now after
    crossing swords with you.
[18:52] Gazel
    You are not an evil being.
[18:56] Rimuru
    What the hell?
[18:58] Gazel
    I am impressed that you saw through
    my Haze: Thunder of Heaven and Earth.
[19:03] Gazel
    Well done, Rimuru.
[19:06] Rimuru
    Oh, that was just a coincidence.
[19:08] Rimuru
    My master used that move, so I
    dealt with it a lot in training.
[19:12] Rimuru
    That's all, really.
[19:13] Gazel
    What? Could it be your master was...
[19:21] Hakuro
    Excellent work, Great Rimuru.
[19:25] Gazel
    The Savant!
[19:27] Hakuro
    You no longer look like the little
    boy I found lost in the forest.
[19:32] Hakuro
    Ah... Forgive me, Dwarf King.
[19:34] Hakuro
    I am overjoyed to see that you
    have surpassed me with the sword.
[19:38] Gazel
    What an honor to hear you say that.
[19:42] Rimuru
    Hakuro was his master, huh?
[19:44] Rimuru
    You really never can tell how things
    might be connected in this world.
[19:53] Someone
    Great Rimuru really is amazing, huh?
[19:54] Someone
    Truly the best.
[19:55] Rimuru
    I see.
[19:57] Rimuru
    You were investigating the odd assembly
    of monsters that defeated the Orc Lord.
[20:01] Gazel
    Yes, to determine whether
    they were friend or foe.
[20:07] Gazel
    Rimuru, there's something I must ask you.
[20:10] Rimuru
    Sure.
[20:12] Gazel
    Have you any interest in
    entering a treaty with me?
[20:17] Gazel
    If you were to gain control of
    everything in this vast forest,
[20:22] Gazel
    you could obtain wealth and
    power surpassing my own nation.
[20:27] Gazel
    It would serve you well to have another
    nation supporting you at such a time.
[20:32] Rimuru
    That would be fantastic, but...
[20:37] Rimuru
    Are you sure?
[20:38] Rimuru
    That would be the same as acknowledging our
    gathering of monsters as its own nation.
[20:45] Gazel
    Of course.
[20:46] Gazel
    And this deal would benefit us, as well.
[20:50] Gazel
    Both sides stand to profit.
[20:55] Rimuru
    I guess I have no reason to refuse.
[20:58] Rimuru
    I gladly accept.
[21:00] Gazel
    Good.
[21:01] Gazel
    And what is the name of your nation?
[21:07] Rimuru
    Our nation's name?
[21:09] Rimuru
    I didn't think of that!
[21:11] Rimuru
    Um... If I take one from "Forest
    of Jura" and "Rimuru Tempest"...
[21:18] Rimuru
    The Jura Tempest Federation!
[21:20] Gazel
    The Jura Tempest Federation?
[21:24] Shion
    That's our Great Rimuru!
[21:26] Rigurd
    Then our nation shall be called
    the Jura Tempest Federation,
[21:29] Rigurd
    and this town shall be called Rimuru!
[21:32] Rimuru
    Huh?!
[21:33] Rigurd
    Capital City Rimuru!
[21:36] Rimuru
    Hang on, that's kinda embarrassi—
[21:37] Shion
    Capital City Rimuru!
[21:39] Shion
    No other name would do!
[21:41] Benimaru
    I agree. It's a perfect name for our town.
[21:44] Rimuru
    H-Huh?
[21:46] Gazel
    It would seem that this is settled.
[21:50] Rimuru
    Yeah.
[21:53] Narrator
    On this day, the names "the Jura Tempest
