SIGN    That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime
[01:30] (Flashback) Milim
    What do you think you're doing
    to my bestie's subordinate?!
SIGN    Episode 18: Evil Creeps Closer
[01:46] Phobio
    Damn it! She'll pay for that!
[01:51] Phobio
    Who does she think I am?
[01:53] Phobio
    I'm Phobio the Black Leopard Fang!
[01:56] Enrio
    With the Demon Lord Milim in the
    picture, it's beyond our control.
[02:00] Enrio
    Even for the Demon Lord Carrion.
[02:02] Phobio
    You idiot!
[02:04] Phobio
    Lord Carrion wouldn't have
    humiliated himself like this!
[02:07] Phobio
    I just wasn't good enough.
[02:10] Phobio
    But my pride won't allow
    me to go back empty-handed.
[02:17] Phobio
    Those guys built a town all on their own.
[02:21] Phobio
    I saw them as no more than lowly monsters,
[02:24] Phobio
    but they have skills and
    techniques that even we lack.
[02:28] Enrio
    That's for sure.
[02:29] Enrio
    Instead of ordering them to serve us,
[02:31] Enrio
    I'd like to see Eurazania establish
    diplomatic relations with them.
[02:35] Phobio
    Yeah. Even if the Demon Lord
    Milim hadn't been involved,
[02:39] Phobio
    I handled that all wrong.
[02:42] Phobio
    I couldn't have gained their trust by just
    taking over without giving them a say.
[02:47] Phobio
    But it's too late now.
[02:49] Phobio
    My wounds may heal, but this
    humiliation will never fade.
[02:53] Phobio
    I want to take revenge somehow,
[02:56] Phobio
    so I won't cause trouble for Lord Carrion.
[02:59] Enrio
    That's easy to say, but
    revenge isn't realistic...
[03:03] Phobio
    I know that! I know in my
    head that it won't work!
[03:08] Phobio
    Still, I just can't rationalize this!
[03:15] Enrio
    Who's there?!
[03:23] Footman
    Oh, how well I understand that
    vexation you must be feeling!
[03:30] Footman
    Greetings, fine people!
[03:32] Footman
    My name is Footman.
[03:35] Phobio
    Footman?
[03:37] Footman
    I am a member of the
    Moderate Harlequin Alliance,
[03:39] Footman
    the one they call Footman the Angry Pierrot!
[03:43] Footman
    Pleasure to make your acquaintance!
[03:47] Tear
    Now, please don't be so guarded.
[03:50] Tear
    I'm Tear, and I'm not your enemy!
[03:54] Phobio
    What do you want?
[03:58] Footman
    Well, I was summoned here
    by your anger and hatred.
[04:03] Phobio
    Anger and hatred?
[04:06] Footman
    I sensed some choice waves of anger, you see.
[04:10] Footman
    Please tell me what has angered you so.
[04:15] Footman
    I'm certain I can be of some help to you.
[04:21] Enrio
    Sir Phobio, there is no need
    to listen to these people.
[04:26] Enrio
    May I remove them from your presence?
[04:28] Enrio
    We are the Animal King's Beastketeers,
    serving the Demon Lord Carrion.
[04:32] Enrio
    Do you honestly think you wandering
    majin are any match for us?
[04:36] Footman
    You desire power, do you not?
[04:39] Footman
    We have it... power akin
    to none you've ever seen.
[04:44] Footman
    Naturally, however, it comes with great risk.
[04:46] Footman
    But should you triumph over that risk,
[04:49] Footman
    the power you stand to gain is immense.
[04:53] Phobio
    Oh?
[04:54] Enrio
    Sir Phobio!
[04:55] Tear
    You want to defeat the
    Demon Lord Milim, right?
[04:58] Tear
    Then you just need to become
    a Demon Lord yourself!
[05:02] Phobio
    Demon... Lord?!
[05:09] Phobio
    A Demon Lord? You think you can
    fool me with nonsense like that?
[05:14] Footman
    Charybdis.
[05:19] Footman
    Have you heard of it?
[05:22] Phobio
    Did you say... Charybdis?
[05:26] Tear
    Yeah, if you had the evil power
    of that gigantic beast-fish,
[05:30] Tear
    you'd be a Demon Lord's equal...
[05:33] Tear
    But if you don't want it,
    we'll just go find someone who does!
[05:38] Tear
    Come on, let's go!
[05:40] Footman
    What a shame.
[05:42] Phobio
    Wait!
[05:45] Enrio
    Sir Phobio, you mustn't!
[05:48] Phobio
    I haven't liked any of this from the start.
[05:50] Phobio
    Why was a useless Orc Lord
    chosen to be a Demon Lord?
[05:55] Phobio
    That's bull!
[05:56] Phobio
    If they need a new Demon Lord, I'll...
[06:00] Phobio
    I'll get stronger! Then even Lord
    Carrion will forgive me with a smile!
[06:05] Enrio
    Sir Phobio...
[06:07] Phobio
    Tell me more!
[06:08] Footman
    Ah! I knew the great
    Sir Phobio would understand!
[06:11] Footman
    Yes, of course! There is none more
    suited than you to be a Demon Lord!
[06:16] Tear
    It's just wrong for anyone who isn't
    strong to be a Demon Lord, right?!
[06:20] Tear
    That's how I feel, too!
[06:22] Tear
    And as far as that goes,
    you're perfect for the job!
[06:28] Phobio
    What do you two stand to gain from this deal?
[06:32] Phobio
    What are you after?
[06:33] Tear
    We just want you to give us special
    treatment once you become a Demon Lord!
[06:37] Tear
    We'd like you to do a few favors for us, too!
[06:42] Footman
    We cannot subdue Charybdis
    on our own, after all.
[06:46] Tear
    We managed to find the place
    where it's been sealed away,
[06:49] Tear
    but as it is now, we're just
    sitting on a gold mine!
[06:51] Footman
    And we just happened to find
    you at the perfect time!
[06:56] Phobio
    I see.
[06:57] Phobio
    But there's no telling whether
    I can subdue Charybdis or not...
[07:03] Footman
    If anyone can do it,
    it's you, great Sir Phobio!
[07:06] Tear
    You'll be fine!
[07:09] Phobio
    So when I become a Demon Lord,
[07:11] Phobio
    they want to be the ones credited
    for helping me the most?
[07:18] Phobio
    All right, I accept your offer.
[07:26] Phobio
    You three can go back.
[07:27] Enrio
    Sir Phobio!
[07:29] Phobio
    Report on everything that has happened.
[07:31] Enrio
    But..
[07:32] Phobio
    I can't cause trouble for Lord Carrion.
[07:35] Phobio
    Tell him I'm resigning my position in the
    Beastketeers and leaving the service.
[07:40] Phobio
    Thank you for all you've done for me.
[07:43] Enrio
    Sir Phobio...
[07:45] Phobio
    I will become carnage itself and force the
    Demon Lord Milim to acknowledge my power.
[07:51] Enrio
    Very well.
[07:53] Enrio
    I will report to Lord Carrion.
[07:56] Enrio
    But the extent of Charybdis's
    power is unknown.
[07:59] Enrio
    Please be extremely careful.
[08:10] Enrio
    Sir Phobio is not a fool.
[08:13] Enrio
    Even if Charybdis really is out there,
[08:16] Enrio
    I'm sure he can subdue it.
[08:23] Footman
    Now, let us be on our way.
[08:26] Phobio
    Yeah. If my power and that
    of Charybdis can be combined,
[08:30] Phobio
    I bet I can turn Demon Lord Milim's
    annoying face into a sobbing mess.
[08:36] Footman
    That's the spirit!
[08:37] Tear
    Yeah! I'll be cheering you on!
[08:52] Milim
    What do you think of that?! I won!
[08:54] Milim
    I can stay underwater longer than you two!
[08:57] Shion
    No, it was I who won.
[09:00] Shuna
    No, it was only by a
    slight margin, but I won.
[09:04] Milim
    No fair refusing to admit
    defeat, Shion and Shuna!
[09:07] Milim
    Okay, then, we'll do it again!
    Let's settle the score!
[09:11] Shion
    Very well. One more time.
[09:13] Shuna
    It's really not a good idea to stay
    underwater in the bath, but let's do it.
[09:18] All
    Ready... go!
[09:22] Rimuru
    Seems like they're having fun.
[09:24] Rimuru
    Maybe I should've gone to that side.
[09:26] Rimuru
    Over here is just...
[09:29] Rimuru
    an old dude.
[09:31] Rimuru
    Hey, how long do you intend
    to stay in this town?
[09:34] Rimuru
    Are you still not convinced
    that we're harmless?
[09:38] Fuze
    Huh? Ah, no...
[09:40] Fuze
    My suspicion of you is long gone now.
[09:44] Rimuru
    Then why?
[09:46] Fuze
    Well, this place is just so comfortable.
[09:50] Fuze
    I haven't had a real break in so long.
[09:53] Fuze
    I felt it would be a good
    thing to slow down and relax.
[09:56] Rimuru
    Come on, man...
[09:58] Rimuru
    "I will see for myself whether or not
    you are truly an ally of Humans."
[10:05] Rimuru
    After you sounded so cool saying that...
[10:08] Rimuru
    He's not even listening!
[10:10] Rimuru
    Hey!
[10:11] Fuze
    Eh?
[10:12] Rimuru
    What's going on with Youm
    and his guys, anyway?
[10:15] Rimuru
    You promised to help make them look
    like the champions in our place!
[10:19] Fuze
    Ah...
[10:21] Rimuru
    "Ah" isn't an answer!
[10:22] Rimuru
    Those guys already left, you know!
[10:25] Rimuru
    They went to build a reputation
    as champions everywhere.
[10:28] Fuze
    That won't be a problem.
[10:31] Fuze
    I've already finished setting things up.
[10:33] Rimuru
    You have?
[10:34] Fuze
    Yes.
[10:36] Fuze
    I've already laid the groundwork
    for spreading the word that they're
[10:40] Fuze
    the champions who defeated the Orc Lord,
[10:42] Fuze
    and for spreading the rumor
    that you and your people
[10:47] Fuze
    are the harmless monsters who helped them.
[10:50] Rimuru
    Oh... Well, good, then.
[10:54] Rimuru
    He may be taking it easy,
    but I guess he's done his part.
[10:57] Fuze
    Well, I'll be heading back now.
[11:00] Rimuru
    Oh, I almost forgot.
[11:01] Rimuru
    I'd like to build a road from
    here to your Kingdom of Blumund.
[11:06] Fuze
    Eh?
[11:07] Fuze
    Er... Wha? Oh, well...
[11:09] Fuze
    I'd certainly appreciate that,
[11:11] Fuze
    but that would be a national
    undertaking on a huge scale.
[11:14] Fuze
    The budget would be immense.
[11:16] Rimuru
    Exactly, Fuze-kun!
[11:17] Fuze
    K-Kun?
[11:19] Fuze
    Somehow, hearing you call me
    that makes me feel uneasy...
[11:24] Rimuru
    Don't worry about that, Fuze-kun!
[11:26] Rimuru
    Having a road would make it easier
    for us to do business, wouldn't it?
[11:30] Rimuru
    Naturally, we'll handle the physical work.
[11:34] Rimuru
    However...
[11:35] Fuze
    However?
[11:37] Rimuru
    I want to sell our specially-made
    goods to other countries,
[11:40] Rimuru
    so I'd like you to introduce me to someone
    who can give all the advice I need.
[11:45] Fuze
    Very well. That's a simple matter!
[11:47] Rimuru
    Good, good.
[11:51] Rimuru
    Maybe I should go over there after all...
[11:58] Phobio
    It's in here?
[11:59] Tear
    Yep!
[12:01] Footman
    It hasn't been revived yet, but its
    thirst for destruction is pouring out.
[12:06] Footman
    Such emotions are our
    absolute favorite treat.
[12:10] Footman
    That is how we were able to find it.
[12:13] Phobio
    You're right... I can feel
    something bizarre in the air.
[12:18] Phobio
    Charybdis...
[12:23] Footman
    Under normal circumstances,
[12:25] Footman
    reviving Charybdis would
    require many corpses.
[12:28] Phobio
    Corpses?
[12:29] Footman
    Charybdis is a type of spiritual lifeform.
[12:33] Footman
    In order to use its power in this world,
[12:36] Footman
    one must give it a physical body.
[12:39] Phobio
    I get it. And?
[12:41] Footman
    Your role in all this is...
[12:46] Phobio
    Wait, are you saying...
[12:49] Footman
    By "subdue," we mean that you
    take Charybdis into your body
[12:54] Footman
    and unite with it as one being!
[12:58] Phobo
    Into my body?
[13:01] Tear
    If you want out, now's your chance!
[13:03] Tear
    But...
[13:04] Phobio
    But?
[13:05] Tear
    This seal might not hold out much longer.
[13:10] Phobio
    And if it doesn't, then what?
[13:12] Tear
    It would eventually revive
    on its own... I guess?
[13:16] Phobio
    But it needs corpses, right?
[13:17] Tear
    Yes, but even though it's sealed,
[13:20] Tear
    I'm sure it could acquire the corpses
    necessary for revival on its own.
[13:25] Tear
    And if it does, we might just drop dead!
[13:29] Footman
    Yes, that's right!
[13:31] Tear
    If it revives on its own,
    it'll be uncontrollable,
[13:35] Tear
    and with an untainted will to destroy,
    it won't take orders from anyone.
[13:40] Phobio
    So we need to break the seal
    before it revives itself
[13:43] Phobio
    and take its power for ourselves first?
[13:46] Tear
    Huh?
[13:47] Tear
    Y-Yeah! Exactly!
[13:49] Footman
    Very perceptive!
[13:51] Phobio
    Fine.
[13:53] Phobio
    I'll make the power of Charybdis my own.
[14:04] Phobio
    I'll do it.
[14:07] Phobio
    I'll subdue Charybdis within my own body
[14:11] Phobio
    and show that impertinent Demon Lord Milim!
[14:18] Footman
    Well, he went in.
[14:20] Tear
    He sure did.
[14:21] Footman
    He is truly a minion of Carrion's,
    with muscles for brains.
[14:26] Tear
    Yeah, that was easy!
[14:30] Footman
    Is this job completed now?
[14:33] Tear
    Clayman only told me to revive
    Charybdis and send it Milim's way.
[14:39] Tear
    Oh!
[14:40] Tear
    Guess we don't need the lesser dragon
    corpses I gathered up anymore.
[14:44] Footman
    But so long as we're prepared,
    we've nothing to worry about!
[14:56] Gido
    So heavy...
[15:00] Milim
    Another great haul today!
[15:04] Eren
    Milim's truly amazing!
[15:06] Eren
    She can locate monsters right
    away, so hunting is a breeze!
[15:12] Milim
    Detecting monsters is a piece of cake!
[15:15] Milim
    We'll have another feast tonight!
[15:17] Rimuru
    Yep, great work, great work.
[15:19] Gido
    It was a lot of work, all right.
[15:22] Kaval
    Who's up for a bath and a drink?
[15:24] Milim
    I'm up for a drink!
[15:28] Shion
    Lady Milim!
[15:31] Shion
    Who's there?!
[15:32] Rimuru
    Whoa, hey!
[15:33] Eren
    Gotcha!
[15:35] Rimuru
    This presence...
[15:43] Rimuru
    Treyni-san?
[15:45] Rimuru
    No, she's not quite the same...
[15:47] Gido
    I-It's a Dryad!
[15:49] Kaval
    I've never seen one before...
[15:52] Trya
    I am the Dryad Trya,
[15:55] Trya
    younger sister of Treyni.
[15:57] Rimuru
    She has a younger sister?!
[15:59] Rimuru
    Uh, anyway, what's with that
    form and the murderous aura?
[16:03] Trya
    There is an emergency.
[16:05] Trya
    Calamity is approaching.
[16:07] Rimuru
    Calamity?
[16:09] Trya
    A calamity-class monster,
    Charybdis, has been revived.
[16:13] Rimuru
    Charybdis?
[16:17] Trya
    Its violence equals that of a Demon Lord.
[16:20] Trya
    My sisters, including Treyni,
    have set out to slow its progress,
[16:24] Trya
    but they are no match for it.
[16:26] Trya
    And it appears Charybdis is heading
[16:30] Trya
    for this land.
[16:31] Rimuru
    Huh?!
[16:34] Trya
    Against Charybdis, the Ruler of the Skies,
    waging war on land is futile.
[16:40] Trya
    I have come to advise you
    to bolster your defenses
[16:43] Trya
    and prepare an airborne combat
    force as soon as possible.
[16:50] Trya
    Charybdis was born long, long ago,
[16:54] Trya
    and has died and revived many times.
[16:56] Trya
    It is a violent Ruler of the Skies.
[16:59] Trya
    No less is expected of the child
[17:03] Trya
    of Veldora, the ruler and
    guardian of the forest.
[17:07] Rimuru
    Veldora's child?
[17:09] Trya
    Charybdis was generated from a
    cloud of Veldora's magicules.
[17:15] Rimuru
    So does that mean Charybdis and
    I are sort of like brothers?
[17:19] Rimuru
    Oh, so is it coming this
    way because it's after me?
[17:24] Rimuru
    Maybe it figured out that
    Veldora is inside me...
[17:28] Fuze
    If Charybdis has revived, it is a
    threat greater than a Demon Lord.
[17:33] Fuze
    Unlike a Demon Lord, this is not
    an opponent we can speak with.
[17:38] Vesta
    You might as well call it a
    monster with no intelligence.
[17:41] Vesta
    It's said that it calls shark-like
    summon monsters called Megalodons
[17:46] Vesta
    from the spirit world to
    join it in its rampage.
[17:50] Rimuru
    What the heck? That sounds
    worse than the Orc Lord...
[17:54] Trya
    The situation could not be worse.
[17:57] Trya
    Its summoned Megalodons have occupied
[17:59] Trya
    some lesser dragon corpses that were
    nearby for some unknown reason.
[18:03] Rimuru
    Huh?
[18:04] Trya
    They number thirteen.
[18:06] Rimuru
    So there's one beast as bad as a Demon Lord,
[18:09] Rimuru
    and thirteen flying sharks that it summoned?
[18:12] Rimuru
    What the hell kind of joke is this?
[18:15] Shuna
    Great Rimuru, what shall we do?
[18:17] Rimuru
    What do we do? I mean...
[18:21] Milim
    Haven't you forgotten something important?
[18:24] Milim
    That stupid Charybdis...
[18:27] Milim
    is no match for me!
[18:29] Milim
    I'll whoop its butt in no time!
[18:30] Rimuru
    Oh, yeah! That's one way!
[18:32] Shion
    We cannot do that.
[18:35] Shion
    This is our town's problem.
[18:37] Rimuru
    Hey, secretary! Don't turn her down for me!
[18:40] Milim
    Huh? But I'm his besti—
[18:42] Shuna
    She's right.
[18:44] Shuna
    It's wrong to rely on you for everything
    just because you're a friend.
[18:47] Shuna
    When Great Rimuru is in
    desperate need of help,
[18:50] Shuna
    we would certainly appreciate
    your assistance then.
[18:53] Rimuru
    Uh, I'm in pretty desperate need now!
[18:57] Rimuru
    They're right, Milim.
[18:59] Rimuru
    Just have faith in me.
[19:03] Milim
    And I thought... I'd finally
    get my chance to shine...
[19:08] Rimuru
    Well, it seems like it's after me.
[19:11] Rimuru
    I can't rely too much on Milim.
[19:15] Rimuru
    Begin preparations to defeat Charybdis!
[19:18] All
    Yes, sir!
[19:20] Milim
    I wanted to show my bestie what I can do...
[19:21] Fuze
    Defeat it?
[19:23] Fuze
    Are you sure you understand?
[19:26] Fuze
    You're up against a beast that
    even the Dryads couldn't stop.
[19:31] Rimuru
    We can count on backup from King Gazel,
    since we signed that treaty.
[19:35] Rimuru
    We'll just do all we can.
[19:37] Fuze
    You aren't going to run away?
[19:39] Rimuru
    What good would that do?
[19:41] Rimuru
    I'm the strongest one in this nation.
[19:45] Rimuru
    If it looks like I stand no chance,
    I'll run away and think up a new plan,
[19:50] Rimuru
    but otherwise, I should see how strong
    it is with my own eyes, right?
[19:57] Fuze
    I see.
[19:58] Fuze
    You are the leader of
    the monsters, after all.
[20:01] Rimuru
    We're not like Humans who are
    done for if they lose their king.
[20:06] Fuze
    But you know...
[20:08] Fuze
    You think much like we Humans do.
[20:13] Fuze
    It's hard to see you as a monster.
[20:16] Rimuru
    Hmm, maybe...
[20:18] Rimuru
    It might be hard to believe,
    but I actually used to be human.
[20:24] Rimuru
    You know about Shizu-san, right?
[20:26] Rimuru
    I think I'm an Otherworlder,
    just like she was.
[20:30] Rimuru
    I died in my world...
[20:34] Rimuru
    and was reborn here as a slime.
[20:39] Eren
    Shizu...
[20:42] Rimuru
    Shizu-san entrusted everything to me
    as someone from the same homeland.
[20:47] Rimuru
    I gained this form in exchange
    for inheriting her will.
[20:54] Rimuru
    I can't go making dumb mistakes
    in Shizu-san's form, right?
[20:58] Eren
    I see...
[21:00] Eren
    So Rimuru really is someone we can trust!
[21:05] Rimuru
    Besides, I made a promise to her.
[21:07] Eren
    A promise?
[21:08] Rimuru
    That I'd clear away the
    feelings that bind her heart.
[21:15] Rimuru
    My prey is the Demon Lord Leon.
[21:18] Fuze
    The Demon Lord Leon?!
[21:19] Eren
    H-He is?!
[21:21] Gido
    You can't call a major figure
    like him your "prey"!
[21:24] Kaval
    I mean, compared to the Demon Lord Leon,
[21:27] Kaval
    I guess Charybdis would be
    easier to handle... maybe?
[21:31] Rimuru
    Yeah.
[21:32] Rimuru
    The Demon Lord Leon comes later.
[21:34] Rimuru
    Charybdis comes first.
