[00:02] Veryard
    A city of monsters, home to a
    slime that bested the Orc Lord...
[00:07] Veryard
    Can this be true?
[00:09] Veryard
    No, I know it's true.
[00:11] Veryard
    I simply can't believe it.
[00:14] Veryard
    But I have to believe it.
[00:17] Veryard
    This slime called Rimuru has saved us.
[00:22] Fuze
    True.
[00:24] Fuze
    What sort of relationship
    should we seek with them?
[00:27] Fuze
    And should we do so on the assumption
    that this slime is benevolent,
[00:31] Fuze
    or should we perceive him as a threat
    and attempt to eliminate him?
[00:34] Veryard
    You speak of eliminating him so
    easily, but is it even possible?
[00:40] Fuze
    Shall I give you an honest answer?
[00:44] Veryard
    I don't even need to hear it.
[00:48] Fuze
    I suppose we should go and meet him once.
[00:51] Fuze
    I will judge this Rimuru
    with my own two eyes.
[00:56] Fuze
    All right, let's move out.
[00:59] Fuze
    We're going to go see
    this slime you three met.

[02:40] Milim
    This is delicious!
[02:41] Milim
    I love all the food in this town!
[02:44] Milim
    Give me more!
[02:50] Rimuru
    Were you okay yesterday?
[02:54] Gabiru
    Nothing to worry about! I—
[02:56] Gabiru
    ...am quite tough, you know!
[02:58] Minion
    That's Sir Gabiru for you! So cool!
[03:01] Rimuru
    Did your communication crystal work okay?
[03:04] Vesta
    Yes. I was able to contact King Gazel.
[03:07] Vesta
    I informed him that the Demon Lord Milim
    attacked and you dealt with her.
[03:12] Rimuru
    Good!
[03:13] Rimuru
    We'll just see how things
    go with Milim for now.
[03:16] Rimuru
    Be sure to give me a report.
[03:18] Vesta
    Of course.
[03:20] Gabiru
    This is Great Rimuru's healing potion.
[03:23] Gabiru
    99% of its composition is
    extracted from hipokute herbs.
SIGN    Extracting...
SIGN    Extraction
[03:27] Gabiru
    You can drink it or apply it on a wound!
[03:30] Gabiru
    The potion of total recovery: full potion!
[03:35] Vesta
    In contrast, Dwarven techniques
    can only extract up to 98%.
[03:40] Vesta
    The potions we can make are "high potions."
[03:44] Vesta
    A mere 1% makes a tremendous
    difference in potency.
[03:50] Vesta
    And now, at last,
    I've overcome that 1% barrier!
[03:55] Vesta
    This is the result of my research!
[03:59] Rimuru
    Oh? All right, I'll appraise it.
[04:03] Vesta
    Please do.
[04:05] Rimuru
    Great Sage, use Appraisal.
SIGN    Answer.
[04:09] Great Sage
    Answer.
[04:10] Great Sage
    This potion is equal to a full potion.
[04:14] Rimuru
    Well done, Vesta!
    It's definitely a full potion!
[04:18] Gabiru
    Excellent work, Vesta!
[04:20] Gabiru
    Assisting you in this endeavor
    was truly worthwhile!
[04:23] Kaijin
    Way to go, Vesta!
[04:25] Kaijin
    I knew you were the right man
    for this kind of research!
[04:30] Vesta
    Thank you... Thank you.
[04:32] Rimuru
    Wow, I really didn't think
    he'd be able to make it.
[04:36] Rimuru
    Now, if we move forward
    with mass production...
[04:39] Rimuru
    I think if we sold this,
[04:40] Rimuru
    it'd be a great source of funds
    for Tempest. What do you say?
[04:47] Kaijin
    I don't think that's gonna be easy.
[04:50] Kaijin
    This potion is too effective.
[04:53] Kaijin
    We can't rely on it for everyday use.
[04:56] Kaijin
    Fine quality like this
[04:56] Kaijin
    is best reserved for high-level champions
    in life-or-death situations.
[05:02] Vesta
    That's true.
[05:04] Vesta
    The potions sold in the
    Dwarven Kingdom are low potions,
[05:08] Vesta
    which are mass-produced
    by diluting high potions.
[05:11] Vesta
    What do you say to
    negotiating with King Gazel
[05:14] Vesta
    to have those low potions
    produced here in Tempest?
[05:17] Kaijin
    Hey, that could work!
[05:19] Kaijin
    If we produce and sell the potions here,
[05:22] Kaijin
    the Dwarven Kingdom would only need
    to procure the necessary ingredients.
[05:26] Rimuru
    I get it. That would
    benefit both nations, huh?
[05:30] Rimuru
    Okay. Let's bring that up for negotiation.
[05:33] Rimuru
    You guys can continue
    with the production here.
[05:36] All
    Yes, sir!
[05:55] Rimuru
    What's going on?
[05:56] Soei
    A new guest arrived in town,
[05:59] Soei
    and Lady Milim took exception to him.
[06:02] Rimuru
    Let me through.
[06:08] Rimuru
    Rigurd, are you okay?
[06:10] Rigurd
    G-Great Rimuru, it's you!
[06:12] Rimuru
    Huh?!
[06:13] Rigurd
    This is no cause for concern at all!
[06:16] Rimuru
    No way! That's serious!
[06:23] Rimuru
    This is who did that to you?
[06:25] Rigurd
    Correct.
[06:26] Milim
    Oh, Rimuru!
[06:28] Rimuru
    Yikes.
[06:29] Milim
    This guy thought he could mock us,
    so I taught him a lesson!
[06:36] (Flashback) Phobio
    I am one of Demon Lord
    Carrion's Three Beastketeers,
[06:39] (Flashback) Phobio
    Phobio the Black Leopard Fang.
[06:41] (Flashback) Phobio
    I am the strongest warrior of
    the Animal King's Beastketeers.
[06:45] (Flashback) Phobio
    Nice town you've got here.
[06:46] (Flashback) Phobio
    Fit to be ruled by the Animal King,
    don't you think?
[06:51] (Flashback) Rigurd
    Surely you jest—
[07:06] (Flashback) Phobio
    The Demon Lord Milim?!
[07:10] (Flashback) Phobio
    Leopard Fang Flaming Palm!
[07:11] (Flashback) Milim
    What do you think you're doing
    to my bestie's subordinate?!
[07:22] Rimuru
    I think she expects me to praise her.
[07:26] Rimuru
    And, um...
[07:28] Rimuru
    Should I really be praising her for this?
[07:32] Rimuru
    I doubt she'll get away with doing this to
    an underling of this Demon Lord Carrion.
[07:40] Rimuru
    Didn't you promise not to cause any
    commotion without my permission?
[07:43] Milim
    Huh?!
[07:44] Milim
    Er, well...
[07:46] Milim
    Y-Yeah! This is different!
[07:48] Milim
    He's not from this town, so it doesn't count!
[07:52] Milim
    It does count.
[07:52] Milim
    Huh?!
[07:54] Rimuru
    But since you did stand up for Rigurd,
[07:58] Rimuru
    I'll just make you go without lunch today.
[08:00] Milim
    That's cruel... That's too cruel!
[08:05] Milim
    This is all his fault!
[08:07] Milim
    This scumbag!
[08:08] Milim
    One hit wasn't enough!
    At least give me one more—
[08:10] Rimuru
    Wait! Wait! Wait!
[08:16] Rimuru
    So, why did you come here?
[08:19] Phobio
    Hmph. You expect me to answer a lowly slime?
[08:25] Rimuru
    You may call me "lowly,"
    but I'm stronger than you.
[08:30] Rimuru
    I don't know this Demon Lord Carrion.
[08:32] Rimuru
    Depending on how you behave, my people
    could become Carrion's enemies.
[08:37] Rimuru
    Do you want to be solely responsible for
    antagonizing the entire Great Forest of Jura?
[08:42] Phobio
    Hah! That's big talk.
[08:44] Phobio
    This whole town is loyal to
    a lowly monster like you?
[08:47] Phobio
    Must be rough having nothing
    but weaklings around.
[08:50] Phobio
    Don't get a big head just because
    Lady Milim took a liking to you.
[08:53] Milim
    Hey! Are you talking trash about my friend?
[08:57] Rimuru
    Milim, stop. If you do anything else,
    you can kiss dinner goodbye.
[09:03] Milim
    Okay. I'll be quiet.
[09:06] Rimuru
    Now, it's true that I'm a slime.
[09:09] Rimuru
    But it's also a fact that
    I rule 30% of this forest,
[09:13] Rimuru
    and if you're really serious, we may
    have no choice but to declare war.
[09:17] Rimuru
    So think carefully before you answer me.
[09:22] Phobio
    Lord Carrion ordered me to come here and
    scout some mysterious majin to serve him.
[09:28] Rimuru
    Oh? He must mean us.
[09:31] Rimuru
    Looks like Milim wasn't the only
    Demon Lord who had an eye on that battle.
[09:36] Milim
    Damn that Carrion! He broke his promise!
[09:46] Rimuru
    Well, I get the picture.
[09:48] Rimuru
    You can leave now.
[09:49] Phobio
    Huh?
[09:50] Benimaru
    Great Rimuru...
[09:51] Shion
    Are you sure about this?
[09:53] Rimuru
    Well, I can't kill him, can I?
[09:57] Rimuru
    Tell the Demon Lord Carrion
[09:58] Rimuru
    that if he wants to talk, he can
    choose a date and contact us again.
[10:10] Phobio
    I'll make you regret this.
[10:18] Rimuru
    Doesn't look like he'll
    relay any message for us...
[10:23] Rimuru
    Okay, I want to know all about
    this Demon Lord Carrion.
[10:27] Milim
    I can't tell you that.
[10:29] Milim
    We've sworn not to interfere with each other.
[10:32] Rimuru
    And there it is! She just confessed
    that there's some secret!
[10:36] Rimuru
    Did you only make that promise with Carrion?
[10:39] Rimuru
    Or does it involve other Demon Lords, too?
[10:41] Milim
    Uh, that's...
[10:43] Rimuru
    Hey, it's okay!
[10:45] Rimuru
    Carrion used his underling to
    interfere with you, didn't he?
[10:49] Rimuru
    And we're besties, so we
    help each other out, right?
[10:53] Rimuru
    So I think it'd be a good idea for me
    to know about the other Demon Lords.
[11:01] Rimuru
    If I don't know what kind
    of promise you made,
[11:04] Rimuru
    I might end up interfering
    without realizing it.
[11:08] Milim
    That's true...
[11:09] Milim
    But... Besties...
[11:12] Rimuru
    I know!
[11:13] Rimuru
    I'll make a weapon for you!
[11:16] Rimuru
    I'm concerned for you as
    your bestie, after all!
[11:19] Milim
    A new weapon?!
[11:21] Milim
    Yeah, that's right!
[11:23] Milim
    Nothing's more important than your bestie!
[11:26] Rimuru
    Too easy. She's way too easy.
[11:32] Rimuru
    Demon Lords Clayman, Carrion, Frey,
[11:36] Rimuru
    and you, Milim, used Gelmud in a
    scheme to create a puppet Demon Lord.
[11:41] Milim
    It was just a way to kill time.
[11:44] Rimuru
    Maybe that's all it was to you,
[11:46] Rimuru
    but since we butted in, I guess it's
    inevitable that they'd target us.
[11:51] Benimaru
    It seems likely that other Demon
    Lords will become involved, as well.
[11:54] Rigurd
    What a predicament...
[11:56] Rigurd
    We must consult with Lady Treyni.
[11:59] Shion
    It'll be fine!
[12:00] Shion
    Great Rimuru has nothing to fear
    from any of those Demon Lords!
[12:04] Milim
    Well, I've told you the secret.
[12:07] Milim
    Now give me my new weapon,
    like you promised, bestie!
[12:11] Narrator
    The storm that arose along
    with Demon Lord Milim's attack
[12:16] Narrator
    would gain strength along its path
[12:17] Narrator
    to swallowing up Rimuru's
    nation and his people.
[12:22] Narrator
    One of the nations surrounding the Great
    Forest of Jura, the Kingdom of Falmuth,
SIGN    Barren Lands
SIGN    The Western Nations
SIGN    The Eastern Plains

[12:33] Narrator
    It was from this kingdom
[12:35] Narrator
    that a team was sent to the Forest
    of Jura to learn about the Orc Lord.
[12:39] Narrator
    Led by a man named Youm,
[12:41] Narrator
    they're a rowdy gang,
    brought together by money.
SIGN    Captain of the Border Survey Corps Youm
[12:54] Kajir
    Boss—
[12:55] Youm
    Shh.
[13:01] Gido
    Whoa, this is bad!
[13:03] Eren
    But, but...
[13:03] Kaval
    You guys... Whoa! Watch it!
SIGN    Farsight
[13:06] Fuze
    How have you three stayed alive
    so long by being this careless?!
[13:10] Youm
    Sounds like some people
    have encountered a monster.
[13:13] Kajir
    What should we do, boss?
[13:18] Gido
    Hey! Wait for us!
[13:22] Eren
    Sorry to butt in!
[13:23] Kaval
    We appreciate the help!
[13:25] Gido
    Sorry about this!
[13:26] Youm
    Here it comes!
[13:31] Kajir
    A Knight Spider?!
[13:33] Youm
    All right, boys, assume formation.
[13:36] Youm
    Remove and heal anyone who gets hurt.
[13:38] Youm
    This is an order! Everyone stay alive!
[13:40] All
    Yeah!
[13:41] Youm
    Kajir, take command.
[13:43] Kajir
    Got it.
[13:45] Youm
    Rommel, use a strengthening spell on me.
[13:52] Youm
    And you guys...
[13:54] Youm
    I'll make you pay for getting
    us involved in this later.
[14:03] Gobta
    Hey, Kaval! Is that you?
[14:07] Gobta
    Good to see you again!
[14:09] Kaval
    Gobta!
[14:11] Gobta
    You're fighting monsters
    every time I see you.
[14:13] Gobta
    Do you enjoy fighting that much?
[14:16] Gobta
    But I'll handle this one.
[14:19] Gobta
    You're for dinner today!
[14:25] Youm
    You're kidding me...
[14:27] Gobta
    These things are seriously
    delicious, you know!
[14:34] Gobta
    It'll be ready soon!
[14:36] Milim
    I can't wait!
[14:40] Rimuru
    I'm the representative of
    this town... or nation...
[14:44] Rimuru
    called the Jura Tempest Federation.
    My name's Rimuru Tempest.
[14:48] Fuze
    You really are a slime!
[14:50] Kaval
    By the way, Rimuru, there are some
    folks here we didn't see last time.
[14:55] Rimuru
    Oh, yeah. This is Benimaru,
    Shion, Soei, and Shuna.
[15:05] Rimuru
    And that's Milim.
[15:10] Rimuru
    So, the Kingdoms of Blumund and Falmuth
    have both come to investigate this place?
[15:16] Fuze
    We are—
[15:17] Youm
    Wait a minute.
[15:18] Youm
    Why is a slime acting like such a bigshot?
[15:21] Youm
    It makes no sense!
[15:22] Youm
    What's the deal here?
[15:24] Youm
    Why are all of you okay with this?
[15:26] Shion
    You are insulting Great Rimuru.
[15:28] Youm
    Shut your mouth, Tits!
[15:31] Kajir
    Boss!
[15:31] Rommel
    Youm!
[15:32] Rimuru
    H-Hey...
[15:33] Shion
    I'm sorry!
[15:36] Rimuru
    Sorry about what Shion did.
[15:38] Rimuru
    She has trouble restraining
    herself sometimes.
[15:41] Rimuru
    Cut her some slack.
[15:42] Shion
    That's mean! I'm actually
    known for my patience!
[15:47] Milim
    You've got a long way to go if
    you're that impatient, Shion!
[15:51] Milim
    You're so short-tempered because you
    don't have an open mind like I do.
[15:55] Rimuru
    I want to be on good terms with Humans.
[15:59] Rimuru
    I hope we can trade and network
    with you all someday, too.
[16:03] Fuze
    Trade?
[16:04] Rimuru
    Yeah.
[16:05] Rimuru
    We've actually entered diplomatic relations
    with the Dwarven Kingdom already.
[16:07] Fuze
    With Dwargon?!
[16:09] Rimuru
    I think passing through this land would
    be more convenient for your merchants.
[16:14] Rimuru
    What do you think?
[16:15] Fuze
    Now, wait a minute!
[16:16] Fuze
    You're saying that Dwargon acknowledges
    this nation of monsters as legitimate?
[16:21] Vesta
    I can vouch for that.
[16:24] Fuze
    Minister Vesta!
[16:26] Vesta
    Former minister.
[16:29] Fuze
    What is a man of your standing doing here?
[16:32] Vesta
    It's good to see you again, Fuze.
[16:35] Vesta
    What Great Rimuru says is true.
[16:39] Vesta
    King Gazel and Rimuru have
    entered into a treaty.
[16:46] Rimuru
    Are you convinced now?
[16:48] Fuze
    W-Well... If that is the case, we aren't
    opposed to cooperating with you.
[16:53] Fuze
    But I'll need to see undeniable proof
    that you are, in fact, an ally of Humans.
[17:00] Fuze
    I assume that's all right?
[17:02] Rimuru
    Oh, sure. That's to be expected.
[17:05] Rimuru
    I'm just fine with that.
[17:06] Rimuru
    I'll permit you to stay here.
[17:08] Rimuru
    I want you to understand
    that we aren't a threat.
[17:12] Rimuru
    By the way, Fuze-san,
[17:14] Rimuru
    has the news that the Orc Lord was
    defeated already gotten around?
[17:18] Fuze
    No, only our king and a select
    handful of people know that.
[17:24] Rimuru
    I see. In that case...
[17:27] Rimuru
    Youm-kun, want to make a contract with me?
[17:29] Youm
    Huh? What are you even talki—
[17:34] Youm
    What... might you be suggesting?
[17:37] Rimuru
    You said the Kingdom of Falmuth
    hired you with money, right?
[17:41] Rimuru
    So you'd just be switching employers.
[17:44] Rimuru
    To put it in simple terms...
[17:47] Rimuru
    I want you guys to be the champions
    who defeated the Orc Lord.
[17:53] Three
    What?!
[17:55] Rimuru
    Just say that we simply helped you out,
[17:58] Rimuru
    and start a rumor that you were
    the one who defeated the Orc Lord.
[18:04] Rimuru
    I figure, that way,
[18:05] Rimuru
    I can be known as the trustworthy
    monster who assisted the champion.
[18:12] Rimuru
    I think it'll be easier to
    befriend people that way
[18:14] Rimuru
    than if they think I'm some
    mysterious, threatening monster.
[18:17] Rimuru
    What do you say?
[18:19] Benimaru
    I get it.
[18:20] Soei
    Well put.
[18:30] Rimuru
    Have you gathered your thoughts?
[18:32] Youm
    Rimuru... No, Mr. Rimuru.
[18:38] Youm
    This town is really something.
[18:41] Youm
    After seeing all of them, I know
    you're not some evil being.
[18:47] Youm
    We are people of guilty conscience.
[18:49] Youm
    We always longed to be free men.
[18:53] Youm
    We accepted the mission to come here
[18:55] Youm
    because we planned to make everyone
    think we'd died on the way
[18:58] Youm
    and then head for some safe nation.
[19:03] Youm
    I've decided.
[19:05] Youm
    I'll trust you.
[19:10] Youm
    Allow me to call you
    "Master Rimuru" from now on.
[19:14] Youm
    I am at your command.
[19:15] Rimuru
    Sure. I'll be counting on you.
[19:19] Narrator
    Thus, Youm and his companions
    began training under Hakuro
[19:22] Narrator
    to look like champions.
[19:29] Clayman
    That didn't take long.
[19:31] Clayman
    You weren't noticed, were you, Tear?
[19:34] Tear
    I'm part of the Moderate Harlequin
    Alliance, too, you know!
[19:37] Tear
    Have a little faith in me!
[19:41] Clayman
    I'm just concerned you might go overboard.
[19:47] Tear
    Jeez! Stop treating me like a child already!
[19:50] Clayman
    Very well.
[19:53] Clayman
    I received word from Mjurran.
[19:56] Clayman
    It seems Milim has taken quite
    a liking to those majin.
[20:00] Tear
    Huh...
[20:01] Clayman
    This is turning out to be more
    interesting than I expected.
[20:04] Clayman
    How truly delightful.
[20:06] Tear
    Well, that's great,
[20:08] Tear
    but what's really going on?
[20:10] Tear
    Is this majin really so amazing that the
    Demon Lord Milim would take interest?
[20:14] Clayman
    Only to the point that we
    mustn't simply ignore it.
[20:17] Clayman
    He was no match for me, after all.
[20:20] Clayman
    But then again, Laplace...
[20:23] Tear
    What about Laplace?
[20:25] Clayman
    Shall we call it... an eeriness?
[20:29] Clayman
    He says he felt something of that nature.
[20:31] Tear
    Oh, really?
[20:33] Tear
    If a cunning guy like Laplace said so,
    maybe there really is something!
[20:38] Tear
    At the very least,
[20:39] Tear
    I think we should find out why the
    Demon Lord Milim's taken such an interest.
[20:42] Clayman
    Yes, we certainly will need to gather more
    information and give it some thought.
[20:47] Tear
    Yeah, we should!
[20:50] Tear
    So, as for the results of my investigation!
[20:53] Clayman
    Let's hear it.
[20:54] Tear
    Well, Frey apparently has no interest in
    getting involved with the Forest of Jura.
[20:58] Tear
    She seemed wary of something.
[21:00] Tear
    It was almost as if she
    was preparing for battle!
[21:03] Clayman
    And did you find out the reason for that?
[21:06] Tear
    I did! You won't believe this!
[21:08] Tear
    She was freaking out, saying Charybdis
    was going to be revived!
[21:12] Clayman
    Charybdis?
[21:17] Clayman
    I see.
[21:19] Clayman
    Now, Tear, I have another
    task I'd like you to handle.
[21:23] Tear
    I thought you would!
[21:25] Tear
    I've already called Footman,
    so a little fighting is no problem!
[21:28] Clayman
    That's wonderful, Tear.
[21:30] Clayman
    But I would like you to avoid
    violence as much as possible.
[21:34] Clayman
    First, seek out the location of the seal
[21:37] Clayman
    and find out whether or
    not we can tame Charybdis.
[21:42] Tear
    Leave it to me, Clayman!
[21:44] Clayman
    The location should be—
[21:45] Tear
    I said leave it to me!
[21:47] Tear
    Okay, I'm going now!
[21:50] Clayman
    Charybdis, eh?
[21:53] Clayman
    With power said to rival
    that of the Demon Lords...
[21:56] Clayman
    I truly look forward to
    seeing what it is like.
