***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.
