[00:11] Aslan
You've improved a lot.
Keep up that dedication.
[00:14] Subordinate
Yes, Highness! Thank you!
[00:18] Carl
Prince Aslan!
[00:20] Aslan
Carl. What is it?
[00:22] Carl
We've apprehended that merchant.
[00:25] Aslan
Really?
[00:26] Carl
Yes.
[00:27] Carl
Now we have irrefutable proof.
[00:30] Soldier
Your Highness!
[00:32] Soldier
Reporting! It's Princess Zenobia!
[00:35] Aslan
What? What about her?
[00:37] Soldier
She abruptly recovered from her illness,
[00:39] Soldier
and she even regained her eyesight!

[02:12] Soei
As for Prince Aslan,
[02:14] Soei
I would say my odds
of defeating him are 50/50.
[02:18] Rimuru
For real?!
[02:19] Rimuru
I underestimated him, frankly.
[02:22] Rimuru
Could Benimaru beat him?
[02:24] Soei
If he could fight without restrictions.
[02:26] Rimuru
Hmm...
[02:28] Rimuru
What was he like as a person?
[02:30] Soei
Valiant, and he looks out for his friends.
[02:32] Soei
He gave me the impression of a likable
young man with the air of a champion.
[02:36] Rimuru
So backing the Aslan faction
might be the right choice.
[02:40] Rimuru
And how was Paulo?
[02:43] Soei
He was in a pub, ordering drinks and snacks
[02:46] Soei
while constantly badmouthing you.
[02:48] Rimuru
Badmouthing me?!
[02:51] Paulo
That smart-ass little brat!
[02:54] Paulo
He works me to the bone, he's stingy...
[02:56] Paulo
What kind of "master" is that?!
[02:59] Rimuru
Uh-huh...
[03:00] Soei
But thanks to that,
no one suspects him, at least.
[03:04] Rimuru
So everything's still
going to plan, technically.
[03:07] Rimuru
In that case, I'm going to
go take care of something.
[03:10] Rimuru
Keep monitoring Paulo for me, all right?
[03:13] Soei
Of course.
[03:23] Rimuru
I was right to sneak in a body double.
[03:27] Rimuru
Okay!
[03:34] Rimuru
Right, so Princess Zenobia's room is...
[03:45] Rimuru
Hmm, she's not here...
[03:47] Rimuru
Wonder if she's eating,
or maybe in the bath?
[03:50] Rimuru
Nice timing!
[04:01] Ranga
Master!
[04:02] Ranga
No suspicious individuals approached!
[04:04] Rimuru
Okay... Good job keeping guard.
[04:13] Barack
You know...
[04:16] Barack
I can still see that court
physician's pissed expression.
[04:19] Chiffon
Now that the princess is cured,
[04:22] Chiffon
his moment of glory is over.
[04:24] Servant
Boss! Boss!
[04:25] Barack
What's all the yelling?
[04:27] Servant
R-Reporting!
[04:29] Servant
Prince Aslan is at the front door!
[04:32] Chiffon
At this hour?
[04:36] Barack
It must be about Rimuru.
[04:39] Rimuru
Huh?
[04:40] Chiffon
I see.
[04:41] Chiffon
Perhaps he's here to thank Great Rimuru
for curing the princess.
[04:45] Barack
He wouldn't visit the home of a member
of the opposing faction otherwise.
[04:50] Barack
I'll let him in. Is that all right?
[04:55] Aslan
Sorry to drop in so late at night.
[04:58] Barack
It's been a long time, Prince Aslan.
[05:01] Barack
I presume your sword skills remain sharp?
[05:03] Aslan
Hah!
[05:04] Aslan
Don't talk down to me
just because you taught me once!
[05:08] Aslan
You're Rimuru, right?
[05:10] Aslan
You have my thanks for saving my sister.
[05:15] Aslan
The three of us siblings
got along well at one time.
[05:19] Aslan
I intended to assist our brother as minister
of the military when he became king.
[05:24] Aslan
But then...
[05:27] Aslan
My brother, Crown Prince Souther, changed.
[05:33] Aslan
Zenobia fell ill three years ago.
[05:36] Aslan
Her condition only continued to worsen,
[05:38] Aslan
and in the end, she even lost her eyesight.
[05:41] Aslan
My brother and I were so anxious,
[05:43] Aslan
but Gustav said there was
nothing we could do.
[05:47] Aslan
Had it truly been an illness,
I might have considered it fate.
[05:51] Barack
You believe it wasn't?
[05:54] Aslan
Barack, have you met with the king recently?
[05:58] Barack
No, I haven't.
[06:01] Rimuru
What's this about?
[06:03] Chiffon
We've kept it concealed
to ensure other countries don't find out,
[06:06] Chiffon
but our king, Tedron,
is also bedridden due to illness.
[06:10] Aslan
Only Gustav is allowed to see him.
[06:12] Aslan
Isn't that ridiculous?
[06:13] Aslan
I'm his son, and I can't even see him!
[06:17] Barack
When you put it that way...
[06:19] Barack
Wait, come to think of it,
[06:22] Barack
why did I never find it strange
that I wasn't allowed to see the king?
[06:25] Aslan
That's just it.
[06:26] Aslan
The fact that senior statesmen like
yourselves didn't even find it unnatural
[06:31] Aslan
is proof that this nation
is in its terminal stage.
[06:35] Aslan
Are you wondering
why no one told you before now?
[06:38] Aslan
Well, that's simple.
[06:40] Aslan
Because it wasn't just Zenobia.
[06:42] Aslan
My brother, a man worthy of admiration,
[06:44] Aslan
is under Gustav's control, as well.
[06:46] Barack
Wha...
[06:47] Barack
You may be a prince,
but I cannot overlook that statement!
[06:51] Chiffon
Do you believe Crown Prince
Souther is behind all this?
[06:56] Aslan
Just think about it.
[06:58] Aslan
It was three years ago
[07:00] Aslan
when my sickly brother suddenly became
so strong as to be unrecognizable.
[07:04] Aslan
Do you really think there's no connection?
[07:07] Rimuru
Three years ago...
[07:09] Rimuru
Around the same time Zenobia fell ill, then?
[07:13] Aslan
No need to feel ashamed.
[07:14] Aslan
That's just what you two
were fooled into believing...
[07:17] Aslan
through the work of my brother's Charm.
[07:20] Chiffon
Charm? You can't mean...
[07:22] Aslan
Exactly.
[07:24] Aslan
The technique used by vampires.
[07:26] Aslan
A friend of mine from Lubelius
taught me all about vampires,
[07:30] Aslan
and he has all of their unique traits.
[07:32] Barack
But Crown Prince Souther
has no problem being in direct sunlight.
[07:37] Aslan
Higher-ranking vampires
aren't harmed by sunlight, apparently.
[07:41] Barack
Then you believe Court
Physician Gustav is a vampire,
[07:44] Barack
and he made Crown Prince Souther
his underling and now controls him?
[07:47] Aslan
No,
[07:48] Aslan
I believe my brother was given Zeinblood
and reborn as a high-ranking vampire.
[07:54] Rimuru
Zeinblood?
[07:57] Aslan
My old friend, Carl,
[07:59] Aslan
suspects this whole thing isn't
about some kingdom's struggle for succession,
[08:03] Aslan
but that it's a plot by Demon Lord Valentine
to sabotage humanity's zone of defense.
[08:10] Chiffon
A Demon Lord?
[08:13] Rimuru
This is turning into something big.
[08:16] Rimuru
I'd rather not go up against a Demon Lord...
[08:23] Barack
I can't believe even I was being Charmed!
[08:27] Aslan
Wow, Violent Break, eh? Impressive.
[08:31] Rimuru
An Art?
[08:32] Great Sage
Yes.
[08:33] Great Sage
It appears to be an Art
that discovers and eliminates
[08:36] Great Sage
foreign contaminants
by surrounding them with one's aura.
[08:41] Barack
Please forgive this fool for falling so
easily into the hands of an evil being.
[08:46] Chiffon
Dear...
[08:48] Barack
Chiffon, take my hand.
[08:57] Chiffon
So you couldn't tell us before
because we were under his Charm?
[09:01] Barack
I do wish you had told us earlier.
[09:04] Aslan
I couldn't until I had proof.
[09:06] Barack
Then you have conclusive proof now?
[09:09] Aslan
Carl has apprehended
the merchant who, evidently,
[09:12] Aslan
sold Zeinblood to Gustav.
[09:14] Aslan
With his testimony...
[09:17] Aslan
Rimuru, thank you again.
[09:20] Aslan
With your medicine,
Zenobia should escape becoming a vampire.
[09:25] Barack
So the princess didn't turn
into a vampire, at least?
[09:29] Barack
Crown Prince Souther always
did adore his baby sister.
[09:33] Aslan
That's what I want to believe.
[09:35] Aslan
In any case, our first priority is
to take out that traitor Gustav.
[09:39] Barack
I, Barack, am eager to lend my strength,
meager though it may be.
[09:44] Aslan
I expect nothing less.
[09:46] Aslan
We'll march on the palace
as soon as preparations are complete.
[09:49] Aslan
We will strike down Gustav
and rescue Zenobia.
[10:01] Rimuru
What is this chill I feel?!

[10:24] Rimuru

[10:31] Rimuru
Sneak, sneak, sneak!
[10:32] Souther
Oh, Zenobia!
[10:34] Souther
Aslan was making you suffer so,
and I could do nothing!
[10:38] Souther
Please forgive your useless big brother.
[10:41] Zenobia
No, Elder Brother.
[10:43] Zenobia
You have done nothing wrong.
[10:46] Rimuru
Elder Brother? So that's Souther?
[10:49] Zenobia
And we can't be certain
Brother Aslan is to blame...
[10:53] Souther
No, it's obvious that he is!
[10:56] Souther
Gustav told me that he got
the guild on his side
[10:59] Souther
to stop your medicine
from entering the kingdom!
[11:02] Souther
You don't need to worry about a thing.
[11:04] Souther
Just get some rest for today.
[11:07] Zenobia
All right. I apologize for worrying you.
[11:10] Souther
Not at all.
[11:12] Rimuru
This doesn't look like what I'd heard...
[11:23] Rimuru
So he was suppressing his
aura in front of his sister?
[11:30] Souther
Now that Zenobia has recovered,
we needn't hold back.
[11:33] Souther
Get rid of Aslan and all
those who support him.
[11:36] Subordinate
Yes, Highness.
[11:38] Rimuru
It's all-out war between the Aslan faction
and the Souther faction?
[11:42] Rimuru
Isn't Souther the one who's
been making Zenobia suffer?
[11:45] Zenobia
And who might you be?
[11:47] Rimuru
Huh?!
[11:52] Zenobia
Oh, are you the one
who visited me earlier today?
[11:55] Zenobia
Was it... Great Rimu—
[11:56] Rimuru
No!
[11:57] Zenobia
Oh? Then what is your name?
[12:00] Rimuru
Huh?!
[12:01] Rimuru
Uh, it's... Satoru.
[12:05] Zenobia
Oh, really?
[12:06] Zenobia
Your name is Satoru?
[12:08] Rimuru
Y-Yes.
[12:12] Rimuru
She doesn't believe me?
[12:14] Rimuru
All right, then...
[12:16] Zenobia
My, you look adorable in that form, too!
[12:20] Rimuru
Huh?!
[12:21] Rimuru
Um, I'm a slime, you see...
[12:23] Rimuru
And I, uh, don't know anything
about this Rimuru person...
[12:26] Zenobia
You seem like such a kind, old gentleman.
[12:28] Zenobia
I'll leave it at that.
[12:31] Zenobia
In return, would you listen to my wish?
[12:33] Rimuru
I don't get why she has to
call me "old," but...
[12:35] Rimuru
Your wish? What is it?
[12:38] Zenobia
I lost my eyesight,
[12:41] Zenobia
but in its place,
[12:42] Zenobia
I gained the power to see
the shapes of people's souls.
[12:46] Zenobia
Elder Brother Souther and Brother Aslan
[12:49] Zenobia
are like young boys crying out in anguish.
[12:52] Zenobia
They're both very kind men.
[12:55] Rimuru
Are they?
[12:56] Rimuru
If that's true,
[12:58] Rimuru
it's hard to believe either of them
is the bad guy here.
[13:00] Zenobia
Compared to them,
[13:02] Zenobia
Court Physician Gustav is terrifying.
[13:05] Zenobia
Like a muddy, faint purple darkness.
[13:09] Great Sage
Notice.
[13:10] Great Sage
Her power is the unique skill Wisher.
[13:12] Great Sage
It allows her to see the shapes of souls,
[13:14] Great Sage
or in other words, people's true nature.
[13:17] Rimuru
Huh...
[13:18] Rimuru
So when she said "old gentleman,"
[13:20] Rimuru
it was because she saw what
I looked like in my previous life?
[13:23] Rimuru
Then, shouldn't you...
[13:24] Zenobia
I can't.
[13:26] Zenobia
If I said such a thing,
it would put my brothers in danger.
[13:30] Rimuru
You mean...
[13:32] Zenobia
My father, the king,
[13:34] Zenobia
has not come to visit me
once since I fell ill.
[13:38] Zenobia
He has never cared
for the well-being of anyone but himself.
[13:43] Zenobia
And Court Physician Gustav
is my father's trusted friend.
[13:47] Rimuru
So you think Gustav
is acting on the king's orders?
[13:51] Zenobia
Yes.
[13:53] Zenobia
Hide! And conceal your presence!
[13:56] Rimuru
Huh? O-Okay!
[14:13] Great Sage
Notice.
[14:14] Great Sage
This is illusion magic, Sleep Down.
[14:16] Great Sage
It only puts the target to sleep,
[14:19] Great Sage
so there appears to be no intent to kill.
[14:23] Gustav
Her full recovery now would be premature.
[14:26] Gustav
For his sake, as well,
I must further refine her soul.
[14:31] Zenobia
Don't!
[14:32] Rimuru
Eh?!
[14:33] Gustav
Hm? Did something just...
[14:36] Gustav
No, I must have imagined it.
[14:38] Rimuru
He picked up on my presence?
[14:40] Rimuru
This Gustav guy might be
stronger than I thought.
[14:43] Zenobia
He is.
[14:45] Zenobia
And Elder Brother's strength
was likely given to him by this man.
[14:50] Rimuru
So Aslan's guess was right?
[14:52] Zenobia
Which is why I want you
to save my brothers from him.
[14:57] Rimuru
That's asking a lot.
[14:59] Rimuru
I don't think I'm obligated to go that far.
[15:06] Rimuru
Are these images...
[15:12] Rimuru
Zenobia's...
[15:17] Rimuru
I can't do that.
[15:19] Zenobia
I see...
[15:20] Rimuru
If I'm saving anyone,
it's gotta include you, too!
[15:24] Zenobia
Oh!
[15:25] Rimuru
I promise I'll do all I can.
[15:28] Zenobia
You truly are a kind, old gentleman.
[15:38] Gustav
I'll get that little girl, as well...
and make a living sacrifice of her.
[15:46] Rimuru
Little girl?
[15:47] Rimuru
Wait, does he mean me?
[15:52] Benimaru
And what does this Gustav get out of
[15:55] Benimaru
making Aslan and Souther fight each other?
[15:58] Rimuru
Princess Zenobia seems to think
he's under orders from the king...
[16:03] Rimuru
But what's important is stopping
the battle between the princes.
[16:06] Benimaru
So when do we make our move?
[16:09] Rimuru
Good question...
[16:10] Great Sage
Notice.
SIGN Notice
[16:11] Great Sage
I predict that something
will happen tomorrow.
SIGN I predict that something will happen tomorrow.
[16:14] Rimuru
Tomorrow? That soon?
[16:15] Great Sage
Yes.
[16:16] Great Sage
The individual named Gustav placed
a curse on Princess Zenobia.
[16:20] Great Sage
He intends to blame her
resulting poor health...
[16:22] Rimuru
...on me, huh?
[16:24] Great Sage
Yes.
[16:25] Great Sage
After that, even if the true
culprit is brought forward,
[16:28] Great Sage
he will likely cook up a bogus
liability issue against Marquis Amadi.
[16:31] Rimuru
And when the Aslan faction
reacts in opposition to that,
[16:34] Rimuru
the Souther faction will be ready
and waiting to round them up.
[16:39] Rimuru
Tomorrow.
[16:41] Rimuru
Benimaru, I want you to stop
Prince Aslan from making a move.
[16:44] Benimaru
Leave it to me.
[16:46] Rimuru
Soei, I want you to keep
an eye on Barack-san.
[16:49] Rimuru
I hope he'll follow my advice,
but if he doesn't, stop him by force.
[16:53] Soei
Understood.
[16:55] Rimuru
Ranga, you guard Marquis Amadi's household.
[16:57] Rimuru
Make sure his wife and everyone
else living there are safe from harm.
[17:01] Ranga
Got it! Leave it to me!
[17:03] Benimaru
And what will you do, Great Rimuru?
[17:06] Rimuru
Me?
[17:07] Rimuru
I've got some business to attend to.
[17:13] Luminous
What's going on?
[17:16] Luminous
Of all people, how did
that one get involved in this?
[17:19] Luminous
What a headache.
[17:21] Luminous
Leaving things alone to assure nothing
unexpected happens might be wise,
[17:25] Luminous
but the very fact that I've come
this far might be the key to all this.
[17:31] Luminous
I suppose I'll keep an eye on things...
[17:34] Luminous
but if anyone tries
to place the blame on us,
[17:37] Luminous
depending on where things stand,
I'll see that they're punished.
[17:44] Barack
Court Physician,
what is the meaning of this?!
[17:47] Gustav
The strange medicine this girl brought here
[17:50] Gustav
is the reason our princess is still asleep!
[17:53] Gustav
Oh, how heartbreaking it is!
[17:55] Gustav
How do you intend to take
responsibility for this?!
[18:07] Rimuru
Okay.
[18:08] Rimuru
Now I have an alibi.
[18:14] Rimuru
Goodnight.
[18:19] Zenobia
Oh! You really came!
[18:22] Rimuru
Of course. I promised, didn't I?
[18:33] Rimuru
Okay!
[18:40] Maid A
Wha... Intruder!
[18:43] Maid B
You're not an assassin targeting
the princess, are you?!
[18:44] Satoru
Arcane Thread Fetters!
[18:49] Satoru
Now, I'll be taking the princess.
[18:51] Maid A
S-Stop!
[18:52] Maid B
Insolence! Who do you think you are?!
[18:56] Satoru
Just as there is no thief
who would stop when told to stop,
[18:58] Satoru
what intruder would answer
when asked who he is?
[19:01] Satoru
But since I'm such a
nice guy, I'll tell you.
[19:04] Satoru
I'm the Great Phantom Thief Ri—
[19:07] Satoru
Satoru!
[19:08] Maid A
Risatoru?
[19:09] Satoru
No! It's Satoru!
[19:11] Satoru
Great Phantom Thief Satoru!
[19:12] Satoru
Try not to get it wrong, okay?! Bye now!
[19:18] Zenobia
Um, what did you mean
by "Great Phantom Thief"?
[19:21] Satoru
I just went with the flow.
[19:22] Zenobia
A-Ah...
[19:24] Zenobia
But would it not have been
wiser to remain silent?
[19:28] Satoru
Of course not!
[19:30] Satoru
I gave false information
for them to spread around.
[19:37] Guy
Ready?
[19:38] Guy
All right.
[19:45] Barack
Looks like everyone's here.
[19:47] Aslan
Yeah. Let's go!
[19:49] All
Yeah!
[19:55] Adventurer A
Who the hell are you?
[19:57] Paulo
Yo! You're not here
to get in our way, are you?
[19:59] Paulo
You'll regret underestimating us!
[20:03] Paulo
I dunno who you are, but I,
[20:06] Paulo
formerly the Bare-Handed, and now
the Staff Master Paulo, will take you on!
[20:10] Paulo
If you value your life, shut up and—
[20:21] Benimaru
Did we go too far?
[20:22] Soei
Well, he did say insulting
things about our general.
[20:25] Soei
I just punished him a little.
[20:27] Benimaru
I see.
[20:28] Benimaru
No complaints from me, then.
[20:29] Adventurer A
You guys have some nerve!
[20:31] Adventurer B
Yo!
[20:32] Adventurer B
Don't get cocky just 'cause you beat Paulo!
[20:35] Aslan
Stop it, you two.
[20:38] Barack
The two of you can't beat them.
[20:41] Aslan
I assume you're assassins sent
by that traitor Gustav,
[20:44] Aslan
but if you interfere, I'll show no mercy.
[20:45] Benimaru
We aren't assassins,
but we will interfere in your plans.
[20:48] Aslan
Well, I have things to do, so...
[20:50] Aslan
Sorry, but I don't have time
to play with you guys!
[20:57] Barack
You're the one who's been keeping
watch around my house, aren't you?
[21:01] Soei
Oh? You noticed me?
[21:04] Barack
You admit it?!
[21:14] Adventurer A
W-Wow...
[21:16] Adventurer B
There's not even room for us to jump in.
[21:18] Adventurer C
That guy's strong!
[21:19] Adventurer D
So's the other guy!
[21:20] Adventurer D
He's fighting the unrivaled
Barack on even footing!
[21:28] Benimaru
He's better than I expected.
[21:30] Benimaru
I wanted to finish this
before the general showed up,
[21:32] Benimaru
but a sword alone might not be enough.
[21:37] Benimaru
I'd heard about him from Soei,
[21:39] Benimaru
but I guess his strength truly
is the real deal.
[21:41] Benimaru
I'm more annoyed that Soei
was measuring my *strength.
[21:46] Aslan
What's so funny?
[21:48] Benimaru
Nothing. Just happy to see
that you're so strong.
[21:51] Aslan
Shut up!
[22:01] Soei
You are indeed strong,
but you're no match for me.
[22:04] Barack
Wh-What are you talking about?!
[22:06] Barack
You're wounded all over!
[22:13] Barack
Wha—
[22:15] Soei
I specialize in body doubles.
[22:17] Soei
I normally fight opponents
using several of them,
[22:21] Soei
but out of respect for you,
I'll fight you one-on-one.
[22:27] Barack
You coward...
[22:31] Barack
I've... lost.
[22:37] Benimaru
Your buddy just surrendered.
[22:39] Benimaru
So what'll it be?
[22:43] Aslan
Our fight is just getting started!
[22:49] Satoru
Benimaru! Soei!
[22:51] Satoru
I'm here!
[24:25] Great Sage
Next time, "Purple and Roses."
