[00:01] Narrator
    Shizu's lingering wish, her regret,
[00:04] Narrator
    that she entrusted to Rimuru,
[00:06] Narrator
    turned out to be children who'd been
    summoned here in an incomplete form.
[00:12] Narrator
    Their bodies, not fully matured,
[00:14] Narrator
    were unable to control the immense
    magicule energy within them.
[00:18] Narrator
    Before long, that energy would go berserk,
[00:21] Narrator
    destroying their bodies
    and dooming them to die.
[00:26] Narrator
    Rimuru conjectured that the
    reason Shizu survived longer,
[00:31] Narrator
    despite being summoned as a child herself,
[00:33] Narrator
    may have been because Ifrit dwelled within her
    body, giving her control of that energy.
[00:37] Narrator
    So, to save the children,
[00:39] Narrator
    he decided to get superior
    spirits to inhabit their bodies.
[00:44] Rimuru
    Shizu-san, I swear I'm
    going to save these kids.

[02:25] Rimuru
    This is the entrance?
[02:28] Rimuru
    So the Dwelling of Spirits
    is right inside here.
[02:33] Rimuru
    Are you guys ready for this?
[02:35] Rimuru
    Once we go in, we may never come out.
[02:40] Kenya
    O-Of course I'm ready!
[02:42] Gail
    Yes!
[02:42] Ryota
    I'm fine.
[02:43] Alice
    I-I'm not scared at all!
[02:54] Rimuru
    Ranga, if anything happens,
    take care of them.
[02:57] Ranga
    Your students are my students, Master.
[03:00] Ranga
    I will protect them with my life!
[03:03] Rimuru
    Good.
[03:06] Rimuru
    Let's go.
[03:24] Kenya
    It's just a straight path.
[03:27] Alice
    What the heck?
    For a labyrinth, this looks easy!
[03:31] Ryota
    B-But something seems weird about it...
[03:42] Rimuru
    Whatever you do,
    don't wander away from the group.
[03:43] Kids
    R-Right!
[03:46] Rimuru
    It looks like a straight path,
[03:48] Rimuru
    but there are traps meant to confuse your
    sense of direction all over the place.
[03:53] Rimuru
    With human senses alone,
[03:54] Rimuru
    we might end up unable to either
    move forward or go back.
[03:58] Rimuru
    I'm glad I have my mental map.
[04:11] Kenya
    What are those voices?
    Where are they coming from?
[04:15] Gail
    It sounds like they're
    resonating inside our heads.
[04:18] Rimuru
    Powerful thought transference...
    no, telepathy?
[04:23] Ramiris
    Not very amusing, visitors.
[04:26] Ramiris
    Be more afraid. Feel more fear!
[04:34] Ramiris
    Good, good! It's no fun for
    me if you show no fear!
[04:40] Rimuru
    Are you a spirit who lives here?
[04:42] Rimuru
    We need to talk to some superior spirits.
[04:45] Rimuru
    If possible, could you take us
    to them without impeding us?
[04:52] Ramiris
    What an amusing thing to say!
[04:54] Ramiris
    Of course, of course. I'll tell you.
[04:57] Rimuru
    Oh, that was easier than I expected.
[04:59] Ramiris
    But before that...
[05:03] Rimuru
    Before that?
[05:06] Chloe
    Sensei, look...
[05:21] Rimuru
    Looks like an invitation to me.
[05:25] Rimuru
    I guess we'll have to go.
[05:44] Rimuru
    Hey, it's a dead end.
[05:45] Ramiris
    No rush, no rush.
[05:48] Ramiris
    Small World!
[05:57] Ramiris
    Well? Amazing, don't you think?
[05:59] Kenya
    Wow...
[06:05] Ramiris
    Now, it's time for your test!
[06:15] Rimuru
    Whether it's in an anime or a game,
[06:17] Rimuru
    the shady characters' eyes always glow red.
[06:25] Rimuru
    Hey, is our "test" to defeat this thing?
[06:28] Ramiris
    Ding-dong! That is correct!
[06:33] Rimuru
    Seriously? This'll be easy.
[06:35] Ranga
    Shall I handle it?
[06:36] Rimuru
    No, you protect the kids for me.
[06:39] Rimuru
    If anything happens to me,
    get them out of here.
[06:43] Ranga
    Right!
[06:49] Ryota
    Sensei...
[06:50] Kenya
    It'll be fine. Sensei's strong.
[06:57] Ramiris
    What's this? What's this,
    what's this, what's this?
[07:00] Ramiris
    You're doing this alone? Overconfidence
    is a dangerous thing, you know.
[07:08] Rimuru
    Great Sage, Appraisal.
[07:10] Great Sage
    Answer.
SIGN    Answer
[07:11] Great Sage
    It is a golem with a body made of magisteel.
[07:15] Rimuru
    Damn, this thing's intense.
[07:17] Rimuru
    Its magicule energy is off the charts.
[07:21] Rimuru
    It's even stronger than that
    thing from the other day.
[07:23] Rimuru
    What to do?
[07:25] Rimuru
    It looks pretty damn heavy, too...
[07:36] Rimuru
    Hey, what the hell?! It's trying to kill me!
[07:39] Rimuru
    How is this a "test"?!
[07:42] Ramiris
    Precisely! Get careless, and you're dead!
[07:46] Ramiris
    Think you can win? Think you can win?
[07:49] Rimuru
    I feel as though she's making fun of me...
[07:52] Rimuru
    It's definitely fast,
    but I can evade it easily.
[07:56] Rimuru
    The only question is how to defeat it...
[08:03] Rimuru
    Since it's made of metal,
    Black Thunder probably won't work.
[08:06] Rimuru
    The electric shock would run through
    the ground and wipe us all out.
[08:10] Rimuru
    I doubt I can cut it with a sword, either.
[08:12] Rimuru
    Should I use... that?
[08:14] Chloe
    Sensei!
[08:16] Rimuru
    It's all right!
    There's nothing to worry about!
[08:24] Rimuru
    Hey! If you apologize now,
    I'll let you off the hook.
[08:27] Rimuru
    If you don't, I'll bust this
    thing up. Is that okay with you?
[08:34] Ramiris
    Interesting! Yes, of course! Of course!
[08:38] Ramiris
    Go ahead and try!
[08:48] Rimuru
    Arcane Thread Fetters!
[08:54] Ramiris
    What?! My Elemental Colossus!
[09:00] Rimuru
    Better say your goodbyes now.
[09:03] Ramiris
    Wh-Wh-Wh-Wh-Wh—
[09:05] Rimuru
    Hell Flare!
[09:10] Gail
    I-Incredible!
[09:12] Alice
    I-It's nothing that special, but... Wow...
[09:17] Ramiris
    No! This can't be!
[09:20] Ramiris
    It only took one hit?!
[09:28] Rimuru
    Well, that about does it.
[09:31] Kenya
    Sensei, you're awesome!
[09:32] Chloe
    Yeah! Yeah!
[09:33] Gail
    You really are as strong as Shizu-sensei!
[09:37] Alice
    Well, of course he could beat that thing!
[09:39] Ryota
    Why are you talking tough, Alice?
[09:44] Rimuru
    Now, then...
[09:47] Rimuru
    If you don't want to be burned
    to a crisp, come on out here.
[09:51] Rimuru
    I can see where you're hiding.
[09:53] Ramiris
    Right!
[09:55] Ramiris
    Right, right, right, right...
[10:00] Ramiris
    Humiliating though it is, I have
    come in response to your call!
[10:08] Gail
    A Fairy?
[10:09] Chloe
    She's cute...
[10:11] Rimuru
    Who are you?
[10:12] Ramiris
    Ta-da!
[10:14] Ramiris
    I am one of th—
[10:16] Chloe
    She bit her tongue.
[10:17] Alice
    That had to hurt.
[10:18] Gail
    Must've been her first time speaking
    without telepathy in a while.
[10:21] Rimuru
    You okay?
[10:22] Ramiris
    I'm fine, I'm fine...
[10:25] Ramiris
    I am one of the Ten Great Demon Lords,
[10:28] Ramiris
    Ramiris of the Labyrinth!
[10:31] Rimuru
    A Demon Lord?
[10:32] Ramiris
    Know your place! You should be groveli—
[10:34] ---
    Ow!
[10:36] Ramiris
    What the heck was that?!
[10:37] Rimuru
    A chop?
[10:38] Ramiris
    Not the point!
[10:39] Rimuru
    How could you even be a Demon Lord, anyway?
[10:41] Rimuru
    If you're gonna lie, make it believable.
[10:44] Rimuru
    There's no way a kid like you
    could become a Demon Lord.
[10:47] Ramiris
    Don't call me a kid! How rude!
[10:49] Ramiris
    What else could I be but a Demon Lord?!
[10:52] Rimuru
    An idiot?
[10:53] Ramiris
    Who're you calling an idiot?!
[10:54] Gail
    A simpleton?
[10:55] Ramiris
    Right, right. I'm a simpleton.
[10:57] Ramiris
    Hey!
[10:58] Ramiris
    Don't think just saying
    it politely makes it okay!
[11:00] Rimuru
    Hmm... I have a friend named
    Milim who's a Demon Lord,
[11:04] Rimuru
    and you look too weak to even compare to her.
[11:07] Ramiris
    Hmph! You moron!
[11:09] Ramiris
    Moron! Moron! Moron!
    Moron! Moron! You're a moron!
[11:15] Ramiris
    Now, listen... Milim is known to
    us as the Demon Lord of Absurdity.
[11:19] Ramiris
    She thinks she can just solve
    everything with strength.
[11:22] Ramiris
    It's beyond rude to compare my lovely
    self to that embodiment of absurdity!
[11:27] Ramiris
    I need you to understand that,
    or we'll have big problems!
[11:30] Ramiris
    Big problems!
[11:31] Ramiris
    Big! Problems!
[11:33] Rimuru
    Damn, she's obnoxious.
[11:35] Ramiris
    And isn't there something off about you, too?
[11:37] Ramiris
    What's your deal? How is it you can
    use a haphazard move like that?
[11:41] Ramiris
    I wish you wouldn't be so reckless!
[11:43] Ramiris
    Do you really know Milim?
[11:46] Rimuru
    We became friends recently.
[11:49] Ramiris
    Wait a minute...
[11:51] Ramiris
    Are you the slime that became the new
    leader of the Great Forest of Jura?
[11:56] Rimuru
    That's right. I'm impressed you know that.
[11:58] Ramiris
    Oh! So it's true!
[12:00] Kenya
    Sensei...
[12:01] Alice
    You're a slime?
[12:02] Rimuru
    Oh, yeah.
[12:05] Ryota
    S-Sensei is...
[12:07] Alice
    ...a slime?!
[12:08] Rimuru
    That's how it is.
[12:10] Chloe
    Cute...
[12:14] Rimuru
    Sorry to surprise you.
[12:16] Kenya
    Awesome!
[12:17] Ryota
    You're a slime, but you're so strong!
[12:19] Alice
    Th-That's not a big deal, okay?!
[12:21] Gail
    I guess anything goes! Amazing, Sensei!
[12:23] Rimuru
    I'll tell you all the
    details some other time.
[12:26] Ramiris
    Excuse me! Have you forgotten that I'm here?!
[12:28] Rimuru
    Sorry about that.
[12:30] Rimuru
    So, how did you know about me?
[12:32] Ramiris
    Milim showed up here for
    the first time in ages,
[12:35] Ramiris
    bragging about how she'd
    found herself a "bestie."
[12:38] Ramiris
    I sneered at her then,
    but it turned out to be true!
[12:41] Rimuru
    If Milim was here,
[12:43] Rimuru
    maybe that means she wasn't lying
    about being a Demon Lord...
[12:47] Ramiris
    What's with that doubting look in your eyes?
[12:50] Ramiris
    You'd better believe I'm a Demon Lord!
[12:52] Rimuru
    She could tell I was doubting it...
[12:58] Ramiris
    It's so good! Yep, so good!
[13:01] Rimuru
    She eats a ton. Where is she putting it all?
[13:05] Ramiris
    I never intended to kill
    you, or even hurt you.
[13:09] Rimuru
    Really, now?
[13:10] Ramiris
    Yes, really.
[13:11] Ramiris
    I just wanted to have a
    little fun scaring you,
[13:13] Ramiris
    and then gallantly save you,
    so you'd respect me!
[13:16] Rimuru
    What the heck?
[13:17] Ramiris
    Acting in my own play?
[13:19] Ramiris
    But then you actually destroyed
    my Elemental Colossus!
[13:24] Ramiris
    I finally completed it after fiddling
    so much with that toy I found!
[13:28] Rimuru
    What choice did I have?
    I thought it was kill or be killed.
[13:32] Ramiris
    Also, that thing was super
    sophisticated, you know!
[13:37] Ramiris
    I used earth spirits to control its weight,
[13:39] Ramiris
    water spirits to move its joints,
[13:41] Ramiris
    fire spirits to generate power,
[13:43] Ramiris
    and wind spirits to regulate heat,
    making it a composite of all the elements!
[13:46] Ramiris
    I made it using the very
    best spirit engineering!
[13:51] Rimuru
    Spirit engineering?
[13:54] Rimuru
    Could that be...
[13:57] Kaijin
    One of the projects he'd been under pressure
    to complete, the Magisoldier Project...
[14:03] Kaijin
    went up in smoke.
[14:05] Rimuru
    You mean the Magisoldier
    that the Dwarves and Elves
[14:09] Rimuru
    were working together to invent in Dwargon?
[14:11] Ramiris
    Ding-dong, ding-dong! So you know about that!
[14:14] Ramiris
    That project failed
[14:15] Ramiris
    because they couldn't produce the
    magicore that would serve as its heart.
[14:20] Ramiris
    Besides, there's no way it
    could've withstood spirit power
[14:23] Ramiris
    if it was made of normal steel.
[14:26] Ramiris
    After it went berserk and fell apart,
[14:28] Ramiris
    they threw out its shell,
    which I brought here and restored!
[14:30] Ramiris
    Could I be a genius?
[14:32] Ramiris
    Aren't I amazing? Aren't I amazing?!
[14:34] Rimuru
    Obnoxious...
[14:36] Rimuru
    That really is amazing, though.
[14:38] Rimuru
    She managed to complete the research
    that Vesta's team failed at.
[14:43] Rimuru
    She just looks like an idiot,
[14:46] Rimuru
    but this Demon Lord Ramiris
    might actually be amazing.
[14:51] Rimuru
    Okay. I get that you're amazing.
[14:54] Rimuru
    And having seen how amazing you
    are, I have a favor to ask.
[14:57] Ramiris
    Huh? A favor? Why should I do what you—
[15:02] Ramiris
    I'll listen! I'll listen!
    I feel like listening to you now!
[15:06] Rimuru
    It's good to be so accepting.
[15:08] Rimuru
    Of course, I won't ask
    you to do it for nothing.
[15:12] Rimuru
    If you'll help me, I'll whip
    up a new golem for you.
[15:20] Ramiris
    So start talking.
[15:26] Rimuru
    I explained everything about the
    kids to her, keeping nothing hidden.
[15:32] Rimuru
    That I wanted superior
    spirits to inhabit them
[15:34] Rimuru
    so they could control the energy within them,
[15:36] Rimuru
    and that this was why I wanted
    to go to the Dwelling of Spirits.
[15:40] Ramiris
    I see.
[15:42] Ramiris
    Those kids have it pretty rough.
[15:44] Rimuru
    Right?
[15:45] Rimuru
    That's why I want you to introduce
    me to the Queen of Spirits.
[15:49] Ramiris
    Hmm?
[15:50] Ramiris
    Oh, didn't I tell you?
[15:52] Ramiris
    That's me.
[15:54] Rimuru
    Huh?
[15:54] Ramiris
    I'm saying the Queen of Spirits
[15:57] Ramiris
    is me.
[16:04] Rimuru
    This is no time for joking aro—
[16:06] Ramiris
    Bzzt! It's no joke!
[16:08] Ramiris
    It's true!
[16:09] Rimuru
    Okay, look...
[16:11] Rimuru
    Why would a Demon Lord be Queen of Spirits?
[16:14] Ramiris
    Bzzt again! You got it backwards!
[16:17] Rimuru
    Backwards?
[16:18] Ramiris
    The Queen of Spirits fell from
    grace to become a Demon Lord!
[16:22] Rimuru
    Is "fell from grace" something
    you'd say about yourself?
[16:24] Ramiris
    Well, I did fall from grace.
[16:28] Ramiris
    It's so easy to fall...
[16:32] Ramiris
    Oh, come to think of it,
    he fell from grace, too.
[16:35] Rimuru
    "He"?
[16:37] Ramiris
    Leon-chan?
[16:40] Ramiris
    Apparently, he had something
    he wanted to look into,
[16:43] Ramiris
    so he called in a superior
    spirit from ancient times,
[16:45] Ramiris
    and they forged a contract. Shocking, right?
[16:49] Ramiris
    So then I had no choice,
[16:51] Ramiris
    as Queen of Spirits,
    to recognize Leon-chan as a Hero
[16:54] Ramiris
    and grant him the divine
    protection of the spirits.
[16:57] Rimuru
    Hang on! Why did a guy who was
    declared a Hero become a Demon Lord?
[17:01] Ramiris
    He must have fallen from grace.
[17:04] Ramiris
    Maybe he copied me!
[17:07] Rimuru
    So you have to fall from
    grace to become a Demon Lord?
[17:09] Ramiris
    Of course, I could knock
    him out with one punch!
[17:13] Ramiris
    Easy peasy. One punch, one punch!
[17:15] Rimuru
    Liar.
[17:17] Rimuru
    Seriously, though, Heroes can
    become Demon Lords in this world?
[17:21] Ramiris
    Come to think of it, Leon-chan
    said something pretty outrageous.
[17:25] Ramiris
    He asked me to summon a specific
    individual from another world.
[17:28] Rimuru
    A specific one?
[17:29] Ramiris
    As if that's even possible! What a moron!
[17:31] Ramiris
    He looked like he might cry!
[17:33] Ramiris
    No, he did cry! It's not
    a stretch to say he cried!
[17:35] Ramiris
    Pretty impudent for such a crybaby!
    That moron! Just one punch! One punch!
[17:41] Rimuru
    I'm not too sure,
[17:43] Rimuru
    but this Demon Lord Leon might
    be more trouble than I thought.
[17:49] Rimuru
    But seriously, is this chick gonna be okay?
[17:51] Rimuru
    Won't Leon wipe her out if he finds out
    she's trash-talking him behind his back?
[17:55] Rimuru
    If it were me, I can safely
    say I'd wipe her out.
[17:58] Ramiris
    Hey! You're thinking something
    really rude right now, aren't you?!
[18:01] Rimuru
    Nope, not at all!
[18:03] Rimuru
    So, are you going to take me
    to the Dwelling of Spirits?
[18:14] Ramiris
    You know, I'm not just a Demon Lord.
[18:17] Ramiris
    I'm also the Guide of Saints
[18:19] Ramiris
    and the Fairy of the Labyrinth, as
    well as the former Queen of Spirits.
[18:24] Ramiris
    I have the duty of bestowing
[18:26] Ramiris
    the spirits' divine protection upon
    Heroes, as I did with Leon-chan.
[18:31] Ramiris
    So you don't need to to worry.
[18:33] Ramiris
    I am impartial.
[18:37] Ramiris
    I am the one who maintains
    the balance of this world.
[19:09] Ramiris
    Very well.
[19:10] Ramiris
    I will aid you in your summoning.
[19:13] Ramiris
    I hope you can call forth powerful spirits.
[19:26] Ramiris
    Treyni?
[19:28] Ramiris
    Wow, it's good to hear
    that those girls are well.
[19:31] Ramiris
    They were such cute little
    spirits back in the day.
[19:34] Rimuru
    Huh?
[19:35] Rimuru
    But Treyni-san said she had no connection
    with the current Queen of Spirits.
[19:39] Ramiris
    Ah, right...
[19:41] Ramiris
    Even after dying and being reborn,
[19:43] Ramiris
    I still retain my memories
    of my previous life.
[19:46] Ramiris
    I guess they don't know that.
[19:49] Ramiris
    We got split up a long time ago,
    and I haven't seen them since.
[19:52] Ramiris
    Tell them to come pay me a visit sometime.
[19:56] Rimuru
    Will do.
[19:57] Ramiris
    I can't wait!
[20:07] Rimuru
    So this is...
[20:09] Ramiris
    The deepest part of the Labyrinth,
    the Dwelling of Spirits.
[20:16] Rimuru
    It's a lot like Veldora's cave.
[20:19] Rimuru
    It's overflowing with natural energy.
[20:23] Rimuru
    And there are superior spirits here?
[20:26] Ramiris
    There are, but they have wills of their own.
[20:29] Ramiris
    They'll only respond to your
    summons if they feel like it.
[20:33] Kenya
    What happens if they don't come?
[20:35] Ramiris
    You can just separate some of the energy
[20:37] Ramiris
    and create a new superior spirit.
[20:40] Ryota
    Create one?
[20:41] Rimuru
    So if they won't respond to our summons,
[20:44] Rimuru
    we should just make a new one?
[20:47] Ramiris
    Right!
[20:49] Rimuru
    This won't be easy.
[20:51] Rimuru
    I'm concerned about their affinities...
[20:53] Rimuru
    But I guess there's no other choice.
[20:56] Rimuru
    I have Degenerate, a special skill that
    specializes in unification and separation.
SIGN    Degenerate
[21:01] Rimuru
    If Demon Lord Leon could do it,
    there's no way I can't.
[21:07] Rimuru
    Everyone...
[21:09] Kenya
    Y-Yeah.
[21:11] Ryota
    We're ready.
[21:12] Chloe
    Sensei...
[21:14] Alice
    O-Of course we're all right!
[21:16] Gail
    We'll do our best!
[21:19] Ranga
    That's the spirit!
[21:21] Rimuru
    Right!
[21:22] Rimuru
    Kenya, Ryota, Gail, Alice, Chloe...
[21:27] Rimuru
    Let's do this!
[21:28] Kids
    Yeah!
[21:42] Rimuru
    Shizu-san, wherever you
    are, are you watching?
[21:52] Rimuru
    I'll make sure
[21:55] Rimuru
    your wish is realized.
[23:36] Great Sage
    Next time, "Saved Souls."
