[00:00] Rimuru
    I may have underestimated you,
[00:03] Rimuru
    but you underestimated me far more.
[00:11] Rimuru
    My turn.
[00:15] Great Sage
    Use unique skill Predator?
[00:19] Rimuru
    Yes!
[00:37] Rimuru
    Shizu-san!
[01:01] Veldora
    Resign yourself, Ifrit.
[01:11] Veldora
    You cannot break free from this space.
[01:18] Veldora
    You are no match for Rimuru.
[01:21] Veldora
    He is my sworn friend!
[01:26] Veldora
    I am the Storm Dragon, Veldora Tempest.
[01:30] Veldora
    You will serve as my opponent
    until I am satisfied.
[01:46] Ifrit
    Storm... Dragon?
[01:50] Veldora
    Indeed.
[01:51] Veldora
    I am one of the True Dragons,
    the strongest beings in the world:
[01:55] Veldora
    Veldora the Storm Dragon.
[01:57] Veldora
    Ifrit, it appears Rimuru
    intended to isolate you,
[02:03] Veldora
    but I consciously summoned you here.
[02:07] Ifrit
    Wh-Why?
[02:09] Ifrit
    Was simply consuming me not enough?
[02:15] Veldora
    So you do understand!
[02:18] Veldora
    Now, then...
SIGN    Dragon
[02:26] Ifrit
    Um... What is this?
[02:29] Veldora
    A shogi board.
[02:30] Ifrit
    A shogi board?
[02:32] Veldora
    It is a game with a rich history
    in the world Rimuru came from.
SIGN    King General
[02:36] Veldora
    Of course, this does not physically exist.
[02:38] Veldora
    I envisioned it using my thoughts.
[02:41] Veldora
    It is boring to play alone,
[02:43] Veldora
    so I had hoped someone would
    come along to play it with me.
[02:47] Veldora
    You will serve as my opponent
    until I am satisfied...
[02:50] Veldora
    my shogi opponent!
[02:51] Ifrit
    R-Right...
[02:53] Ifrit
    What the hell?
[02:55] Veldora
    Of course, I will teach you the rules,
    and I'll even give you a handicap.
[02:58] Veldora
    First, I'll give you the four-piece handicap,
    removing my rook, bishop, and lances!
SIGN    That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime
SIGN    Tales: Veldora's Journal
[04:36] Veldora
    And there are several ways
    you can order your pieces.
[04:39] Veldora
    The pieces you place first mean the difference
    between the Ohashi order and the Ito order.
[04:44] Ifrit
    Okay.
[04:44] Veldora
    And the player in the seat
    of honor uses a king general,
[04:48] Veldora
    while the lower-ranked player
    uses a jeweled general.
[04:50] Ifrit
    Okay.
[04:51] Veldora
    Now, Ifrit, you can go first.
[04:56] Ifrit
    Thank you.
[04:58] Veldora
    Yes, a pawn that reaches the promotion
    line is called a promoted pawn.
[05:01] Veldora
    There's even a saying,
    "A pawn is worth 1,000 gold generals."
[05:04] Veldora
    They appear weak, but they
    are very useful pieces.
SIGN    Man
SIGN    (Self-proclaimed)
[05:07] Veldora
    Ifrit, you are quite adept at this!
[05:11] Ifrit
    You flatter me.
[05:13] Veldora
    Now, where did I leave off in my life story?
[05:18] Ifrit
    About 300 years ago,
[05:20] Ifrit
    when you burned a town to the
    ground in a moment of mischief
[05:23] Ifrit
    and ended up fighting the Hero.
[05:26] Veldora
    Oh, yes!
[05:27] Veldora
    So I fought this human Hero who wore a mask,
[05:31] Veldora
    and I let my guard down for just a second
[05:34] Veldora
    and found myself captured
    by Unlimited Imprisonment!
SIGN    — Absolute Severance —
[05:40] Ifrit
    You have clearly been through
    difficult times, as well.
SIGN    Unlimited Imprisonment
[05:43] Ifrit
    Let's see... The silver general can't
    move back or to the side, right?
[05:47] Veldora
    Correct!
[05:49] Veldora
    Incidentally, my favorite
    piece is, of course, the rook!
[05:52] Veldora
    It can become a dragon, after all!
[05:54] Veldora
    Also, incidentally,
    I'm partial to the static rook!
[05:59] Ifrit
    Being imprisoned for so long
[06:01] Ifrit
    and spending 300 years alone
    must have been terribly lonely.
[06:04] Veldora
    Wh-What are you saying?!
[06:06] Veldora
    As one of the world's strongest
    beings, the True Dragons,
[06:10] Veldora
    you suggest that I, the one feared
    as the Storm Dragon, am lonely?!
[06:14] Veldora
    Me, lonely?
    Th-That's absolutely preposterous!
[06:17] Veldora
    I wasn't the least bit lonely!
SIGN    Black Serpent Appeared
[06:19] Veldora
    You'll never hear me say
    I'm not lonely anymore!
[06:22] Ifrit
    Um...
[06:24] Veldora
    There were many things I could do alone.
[06:27] Veldora
    Solo shiritori, solo janken,
    solo look-that-way...
[06:32] Ifrit
    Lord Veldora...
[06:33] Veldora
    I-I don't need your sympathy, okay?!
[06:36] Veldora
    Still, when I was alone,
    he appeared before me.
SIGN     Armorsaurus

SIGN     Appeared

[06:41] Ifrit
    He?
[06:42] Ifrit
    Oh, do you mean the...
SIGN    Mimic Black Serpent
[06:45] Veldora
    Indeed. It was a slime...
[06:48] Veldora
    Rimuru.
SIGN    — Poisonous Breath —
[06:50] Ifrit
    I see.
[06:51] Veldora
    The moment Rimuru appeared
    out of nowhere in my cave,
[06:55] Veldora
    I could, of course, sense his presence.
SIGN     Evil Centipede

SIGN     Appeared

[06:57] Veldora
    Even within Unlimited Imprisonment,
[06:59] Veldora
    I could tell he wasn't
    the same as the spiders, snakes,
SIGN     "Paralysis Breath" Acquired
[07:02] Veldora
    and other creatures in the cave.
SIGN     Black Spider Appeared

[07:03] Veldora
    It was a first in 300 years.
SIGN    "Sticky Thread"•"Steel Thread" Acquired
[07:07] Veldora
    A-And as I felt that presence
    steadily approaching me,
[07:11] Veldora
    what do you think I did?
[07:13] Ifrit
    Well...
[07:15] Ifrit
    I don't know.
[07:16] Veldora
    I practiced using my voice.
SIGN     Giant Bat Appeared

[07:19] Ifrit
    Impressive, Lord Veldora!
SIGN    "Drain"•"Ultrasonic Wave" Acquired
[07:22] Veldora
    I had hardly spoken out loud
    in 300 years, after all.
[07:26] Veldora
    So, you know, what if I'd tried
    to speak and my voice didn't work?
[07:31] Veldora
    Like this...
[07:33] Veldora
    I'm sure you've been through it, too.
[07:34] Veldora
    After spending a weekend at
    home, not speaking to anyone,
[07:38] Veldora
    you tried to speak after returning
    to work, but your voice didn't work.
[07:42] Veldora
    You must have forgotten how
    to speak at some point!
[07:45] Ifrit
    I'm not sure what you mean by
    "weekend" and "work," but...
SIGN    — Water Pressure Propulsion —
[07:48] Veldora
    Of course, I could have just
    communicated with my thoughts,
[07:52] Veldora
    but since I had a rare opportunity,
    I wanted to use my voice.
[07:56] Veldora
    "She sells seashells by the seashore."
[07:58] Veldora
    Yes! My voice worked!
[07:59] Veldora
    I've practiced projecting
    my voice! Okay, I'm ready!
[08:03] Veldora
    All that's left is to wait
    for the slime to come to me!
[08:06] Veldora
    Ba-dump... Tremble... What is this sensation?
[08:08] Veldora
    I've never felt it before!
[08:10] Veldora
    Wait, slime! Not that way!
    You're going farther away from me!
[08:13] Veldora
    Yes, that's it! I'm over here!
[08:15] Veldora
    This way, Mr. Slime! Follow the magicules!
[08:19] Veldora
    But I'm a little bit nervous...
[08:21] Veldora
    What if he runs away upon seeing me?
[08:23] Veldora
    I may be striking, gallant,
    beautiful, and wondrous,
[08:26] Veldora
    but, you know, I am a Dragon...
    and I look a little scary, right?
[08:29] Veldora
    I need to be careful not to scare him.
[08:31] Veldora
    So, what should I say to him?
[08:33] Veldora
    "Hey, you cute little slime! Are you free?"
SIGN    Extra Skill
    Magic Sense
    Acquired
[08:36] Veldora
    No, that would make me seem gaudy.
[08:39] Veldora
    "I am the Storm Dragon, Veldora!"
[08:41] Veldora
    But starting off with that
    would probably scare him...
[08:45] Veldora
    I should save the
    "Storm Dragon" part for later.
[08:48] Veldora
    I want him to think I'm nice.
[08:50] Veldora
    As I was thinking all that,
[08:52] Veldora
    Rimuru came close to where I was imprisoned.
[08:55] Veldora
    So I gazed right at him
    without even blinking!
[08:58] Veldora
    I mean, even monsters never
    came near my prison, you know?
[09:01] Veldora
    It had been so long since I'd
    seen something that moved!
[09:03] Veldora
    My heart was pounding!
[09:05] Veldora
    You get it? You get it?! It was awesomesauce!
[09:08] Ifrit
    I'm not sure I know what
    "awesomesauce" means, either...
[09:10] Veldora
    Oh, so you do get it, eh? Of course you do!
[09:13] Veldora
    Dogs and wolves wag their
    tails when happy, right?
[09:16] Veldora
    It was that feeling!
[09:18] Veldora
    I was just a heartbeat away from
    unconsciously wagging my own tail!
[09:22] Veldora
    My heart was pounding so hard,
    I nearly hyperventilated!
[09:25] Veldora
    But I am Veldora the Storm Dragon, one of
    the world's strongest beings, the True Dragons.
[09:29] Veldora
    I maintained my dignity
    when I spoke to Rimuru.
[09:33] Ifrit
    So after all that, what did you say to him?
[09:36] Veldora
    "Can you hear me, small one?"
[09:41] Veldora
    That's safe, right?
[09:42] Ifrit
    Yes, quite safe.
[09:43] Veldora
    So then, the slime was startled, at first,
[09:46] Veldora
    but he was a brilliant individual.
[09:48] Veldora
    He understood me in no time,
    and then he said he'd be my friend!
[09:53] Veldora
    I felt my heart grow warm!
[09:55] Veldora
    I was trapped in a prison,
    but I felt as if I was flying high!
[10:00] Veldora
    I felt my heart flutter!
[10:02] Ifrit
    You had been so lonely
    for 300 years, after all.
SIGN    Rimuru Tempest
[10:05] Veldora
    That's right!
[10:07] Veldora
    W-Wait! I wasn't lonely, okay?!
[10:09] Veldora
    A measly 300 years is but one second to me!
[10:12] Ifrit
    Do you... like talking that way?
[10:15] Veldora
    Indeed.
[10:17] Veldora
    What do they call it? "Tsundere"?
[10:19] Veldora
    In spite of myself, I find it cute.
[10:21] Ifrit
    Yes. It is cute.
[10:23] Veldora
    Aw, you're going to make me blush!
[10:29] Veldora
    So, after becoming my friend,
    Rimuru made an interesting proposal.
[10:33] Veldora
    Not really! He said he was going to eat me!
[10:38] Veldora
    Honestly, what a laugh!
[10:40] Veldora
    What? That's not funny?
[10:43] Ifrit
    I can't believe you agreed
    to be eaten so easily.
[10:46] Veldora
    Well, I mean, was I supposed
    to just stay in my prison?
[10:50] Veldora
    Once my magicules ran out,
    I would've been a goner.
[10:52] Veldora
    And there was no telling when
    I'd ever have another visitor...
[10:56] Veldora
    So I let him eat me,
    and I'd analyze my prison
[10:59] Veldora
    from inside him while he
    analyzed it from the outside.
[11:02] Veldora
    He said that might lead to me being
    freed from that prison eventually.
[11:06] Veldora
    It gave me hopes and dreams, and...
[11:09] Ifrit
    And?
[11:11] Veldora
    I would never be alone again.
[11:14] Ifrit
    I see.
[11:16] Veldora
    So there you have it!
[11:18] Veldora
    That's why I'm inside here now.
[11:20] Veldora
    Oh!
[11:21] Ifrit
    What's the matter?
[11:23] Veldora
    It seems Shizu has passed...
[11:25] Ifrit
    What?
[11:27] Veldora
    No, perhaps I should say
    she rejoined her mother.
[11:32] Ifrit
    I worshiped the Demon Lord Leon.
[11:37] Ifrit
    For that reason, she and I
    were not very compatible.
[11:41] Ifrit
    But I believe she was a pitiable
    woman whose fate toyed with her.
[11:46] Veldora
    I see... You must have some regrets.
[11:50] Veldora
    But don't worry.
[11:52] Ifrit
    Huh?
[11:52] Ifrit
    Um, I'm not particularly worried...
[11:55] Veldora
    Just leave everything to Rimuru.
[11:58] Veldora
    Rimuru will see to it that the wishes
    she left behind are realized.
[12:03] Veldora
    He is my sworn friend, after all!
[12:07] Veldora
    Oh? Rimuru seems to have gained
    the ability to take a human form.
[12:13] Veldora
    Tsk! I missed an important scene!
[12:17] Ifrit
    By the way, Lord Veldora...
[12:19] Ifrit
    Should you really be playing
    shogi with me like this?
[12:23] Ifrit
    What about your analysis
    of Unlimited Imprisonment?
[12:25] Veldora
    It may not look it, but I'm working on that.
[12:29] Veldora
    I'm doing two things at once.
    I can multitask!
[12:31] Ifrit
    Multitask?
[12:33] Veldora
    I'm not sure what it means,
    but Rimuru said it.
[12:37] Ifrit
    I see... "Multitask," is it?
[12:40] Ifrit
    That is impressive.
[12:42] Ifrit
    Anyway, you missed the scene where
    Great Rimuru took a human form...
[12:46] Veldora
    Check.
[12:47] Ifrit
    Check?
[12:48] Ifrit
    Oh! I get it. Um...
[12:52] Ifrit
    Now, then... This is...
[12:55] Ifrit
    Even if I block you here, my king will be
    in check, no matter where I put it... right?
[13:00] Veldora
    That's right! It's checkmate!
[13:03] Ifrit
    I've lost.
[13:05] Ifrit
    Well played, Lord Veldora.
[13:09] Veldora
    I am Veldora, one of the True Dragons,
[13:11] Veldora
    the world's strongest beings,
    and the one feared as the Storm Dragon!
[13:14] Veldora
    I'm the best at shogi, too!
[13:16] Veldora
    Call me a Meijin, a Ryuo,
    a Shinjin'o... whatever you like!
[13:25] Veldora
    Ifrit...
[13:27] Veldora
    You have learned the rules of
    shogi well in just a few months.
[13:31] Ifrit
    No, you are simply an excellent
    teacher, Lord Veldora.
[13:36] Veldora
    Of course, that is part of it,
    but you have respectable talent.
[13:41] Veldora
    You learn fast. It's a lot like...
[13:44] Veldora
    Rimuru's Predator skill!
[13:48] Veldora
    I said something pretty clever!
[13:51] Ifrit
    Quite well done, indeed.
[13:53] Veldora
    Oh, it was... exactly that!
[13:55] Veldora
    I am the Storm Dragon, after all!
[13:57] Ifrit
    You go, Storm Dragon!
[13:59] Veldora
    Ifrit, you've gotten much better
    at playing off of my lines!
[14:02] Ifrit
    Thanks to your influence, Lord Veldora.
[14:06] Veldora
    So it's not just shogi.
    You've learned flattery, too!
[14:12] Veldora
    It may finally be time to
    play with no handicaps.
[14:15] Ifrit
    Thank you.
[14:17] Ifrit
    Still, there was that battle
    with the Orc Lord...
[14:20] Ifrit
    Then the Demon Lord Milim showed
    up, and Charybdis attacked...
[14:24] Ifrit
    So much happened in such a short time.
[14:27] Veldora
    Indeed. But Rimuru did very well.
[14:30] Veldora
    He took in the Orcs
[14:32] Veldora
    and established the Jura Forest Alliance.
[14:35] Veldora
    His men... no, I think Rimuru
    considers them friends.
[14:38] Veldora
    They have greatly increased in number.
[14:41] Ifrit
    Yes.
[14:42] Ifrit
    There are Ogres, Lizardmen...
[14:44] Ifrit
    He accepts everyone, regardless of race,
[14:46] Ifrit
    and gives them a place.
[14:47] Ifrit
    Great Rimuru's heart seems to
    be just as big as his stomach.
[14:53] Veldora
    Right? Right?
[14:55] Veldora
    Rimuru is my sworn friend, after all!
[14:58] Veldora
    He can't abandon anyone who's in trouble!
[15:01] Ifrit
    I see.
[15:03] Ifrit
    His town achieved vast
    development as a result.
[15:06] Veldora
    Before Rimuru was reincarnated
    into this world,
[15:09] Veldora
    he worked for something called
    "general contracting" in his own world.
[15:12] Ifrit
    General contracting?
[15:14] Veldora
    It's like a mixer, I think!
[15:16] Ifrit
    I see...
[15:18] Ifrit
    What's a mixer?
[15:20] Veldora
    It seems the knowledge
    and experience he gained
[15:22] Veldora
    through general contracting
    helped in building his town.
[15:25] Veldora
    Oh, it looks like Rimuru has arrived
    in the Kingdom of Engrassia.
[15:29] Ifrit
    The Kingdom of Engrassia...
[15:31] Ifrit
    So he's gone to see her students, then.
[15:34] Veldora
    Indeed. He's gone to realize
    the wish Shizu left behind.
[15:38] Veldora
    See? Isn't Rimuru just so compassionate?
[15:42] Ifrit
    I'm not sure why you look
    so smug about that...
[15:46] Veldora
    Do ya like that? Do ya?
[15:48] Veldora
    Hey, I know!
[15:49] Veldora
    Instead of "Veldora,"
SIGN    Free Union Headquarters
[15:51] Veldora
    it might be fun to go by "Veldoyalikethat"!
[15:54] Ifrit
    Yes... that would... be... fun.
[15:57] Ifrit
    Yes, yes. Great idea, Lord Veldoyalikethat.
[16:00] Veldora
    You know, Ifrit, you've seemed
    a bit distant lately.
[16:04] Veldora
    Are you bored with me? Have you
    found someone else to play with?
[16:07] Ifrit
    Of course not. I'm not being distant.
[16:11] Ifrit
    I am a superior spirit of fire.
[16:13] Ifrit
    I'm always burning red-hot with passion.
[16:15] Veldora
    Really?
[16:17] Ifrit
    Would you like to touch me and see?
[16:18] Veldora
    Okay...
[16:19] Veldora
    Oh... You're warm.
[16:22] Ifrit
    That tickles...
[16:24] Ifrit
    Oh? That's the leader of the Kingdom
    of Engrassia's Freedom Union,
SIGN    Grandmaster Yuuki Kagurazaka
[16:28] Ifrit
    Grandmaster Yuuki Kagurazaka.
[16:31] Ifrit
    He came from the same world as Great Rimuru.
[16:33] Veldora
    I'm impressed you know that.
[16:35] Ifrit
    I still retain a few of the memories
    Shizu had when she was unified with me.
[16:39] Ifrit
    He's one of her two disciples.
[16:42] Ifrit
    Yuuki's appearance hasn't changed
    since I first encountered him.
[16:45] Ifrit
    There was another disciple, a girl,
[16:48] Ifrit
    and she was even more skilled than Shizu.
[16:50] Veldora
    Oh?
[16:52] Ifrit
    A female disciple...
[16:54] Ifrit
    She may have been a beast
    in the truest sense.
[16:58] Veldora
    She was that strong?
[17:00] Ifrit
    If he had ever been forced to face her,
[17:03] Ifrit
    even Great Rimuru could not
    have defeated her easily.
[17:07] Veldora
    Girls sure are scary.
[17:09] Veldora
    Sounds like Rimuru would be
    better off never meeting her.
[17:12] Veldora
    But he certainly seems to be
    hitting it off with this Yuuki.
SIGN    Sirius
[17:16] Veldora
    That sacred text...
[17:18] Ifrit
    Sacred text?
[17:20] Ifrit
    You mean the thing they call "manga"?
[17:22] Veldora
    Precisely.
[17:23] Veldora
    I have become absorbed in them myself by
    viewing them through Rimuru's memories.
[17:27] Veldora
    They are a splendid compendium of knowledge.
[17:29] Veldora
    You should read some, too.
[17:31] Ifrit
    Right...
[17:32] Veldora
    And let me know what you think!
    I'll share my impressions with you, too!
[17:35] Veldora
    Oh, but no spoilers!
[17:37] Ifrit
    Um...
[17:38] Ifrit
    Could you let go of my hand now?
[17:42] Veldora
    It's warm...
[17:50] Veldora
    It was truly a great thing that Rimuru
    became a teacher to Shizu's students.
[17:55] Ifrit
    He earned the children's trust so quickly.

SIGN    Altair: A Record of Battles
[17:58] Ifrit
    They had gone wild after the loss of Shizu,
[18:01] Ifrit
    but they've calmed down a bit.
[18:03] Ifrit
    Still, Great Rimuru never ceases to amaze.
[18:05] Ifrit
    To think he came up with the idea to
    have superior spirits inhabit them
[18:09] Ifrit
    to prevent the magicules in their bodies
    from rampaging and killing them.
[18:13] Ifrit
    There aren't many who would think of that.
[18:15] Veldora
    Right? Isn't he great?
[18:17] Ifrit
    You're Lord Veldoyalikethat again.
[18:20] Veldora
    Oh? The children are giving it their all!
[18:23] Veldora
    Each one is attempting to
    take in a superior spirit!
[18:26] Veldora
    We must cheer them on, as well!
[18:28] Ifrit
    R-Right!
[18:29] Veldora
    Go, Gail!
[18:30] Veldora
    Go, Alice!
[18:32] Veldora
    Go, Kenya!
[18:33] Veldora
    Go, Ryota!
[18:35] Veldora
    Go, Chloe!
[18:36] Ifrit
    Go, Gail!
[18:38] Ifrit
    Go, Alice!
[18:39] Ifrit
    Go, Kenya!
[18:41] Ifrit
    Go, Ryota!
[18:42] Ifrit
    Go, Chloe!
[18:44] Both
    Go! Go! Go!
[18:51] Veldora
    They did it!
[18:53] Ifrit
    Now the children will be safe.
[18:57] Ifrit
    The magicules within them won't rampage,
[19:00] Ifrit
    and their bodies won't be destroyed.
[19:02] Veldora
    Yes. Now Shizu can rest in peace.
[19:06] Ifrit
    That... is wonderful.
[19:09] Veldora
    And Rimuru can return to Tempest.
[19:12] Veldora
    He can finally see his friends
    again and enjoy life with them.
[19:14] Ifrit
    Yes. He's earned it.
[19:17] Ifrit
    I think Great Rimuru should get some rest.
[19:21] Ifrit
    He's been doing so much, for so long.
[19:23] Veldora
    Yes, that's true.
[19:26] Veldora
    Saying goodbye to the
    children will be painful,
[19:28] Veldora
    but he can see them again anytime.
[19:30] Veldora
    There's no reason to be sad.
[19:32] Ifrit
    Yes.
[19:33] Ifrit
    By the way, Lord Veldora...
[19:36] Veldora
    Wh-What is it?
[19:37] Ifrit
    Check.
[19:40] Veldora
    Check?
[19:41] Ifrit
    Yes. Checkmate.
[19:43] Ifrit
    I win.
[19:44] Veldora
    Wait a—
[19:45] Ifrit
    There is no waiting. These are the rules.
[19:52] Veldora
    Very well! I have a trick up my sleeve!
[19:54] Ifrit
    You have a trick for
    getting out of checkmate?
[19:58] Ifrit
    No... That can't be possible!
[20:02] Veldora
    I didn't want to have to do this,
[20:05] Veldora
    but out of respect for your newfound skill...
[20:09] Veldora
    I will show you the trick up my sleeve!
[20:12] Ifrit
    Trick... up your sleeve?
SIGN    King
    General
SIGN    Emperor
[20:20] Ifrit
    Th-The king general was promoted to emperor?!
[20:25] Veldora
    This is my king general's true form!
[20:29] Veldora
    This emperor can move twice!
[20:31] Veldora
    That means he can escape your checkmate!
[20:35] Ifrit
    Huh?! That piece isn't in the rules—
[20:38] Veldora
    Fool!
[20:39] Veldora
    You think I would be bound by rules
    that someone else came up with?!
[20:43] Veldora
    Listen to me! If you're bound
    by rules and standards,
[20:47] Veldora
    you can never be a true risk taker!
[20:49] Ifrit
    No, standards aside,
    you need to follow the rules!
[20:54] Ifrit
    A king general can't be promoted.
    It wasn't even in enemy territory.
[20:57] Ifrit
    And it absolutely cannot become an emperor.
[21:00] Ifrit
    In other words, since I put
    you in checkmate, I win.
[21:07] Ifrit
    Are you trying to hide
    your loss behind laughter?
[21:09] Veldora
    Lead the way, take me home...
[21:12] Veldora
    Memories will be my guides toward tomorrow...
[21:17] Veldora
    Come, come, let's go home...
[21:21] Ifrit
    Are you trying to sing your way out of this?
[21:25] Veldora
    I am one of the True Dragons, the one feared
    as the Storm Dragon, Veldora Tempest!
[21:31] Ifrit
    Lord Veldora?
[21:32] Veldora
    Who wins and loses at shogi is
    but a trifling matter to me!
[21:39] Ifrit
    Then, shall we play a review match?
[21:43] Ifrit
    Lord Veldora...
[21:48] Veldora
    Hey, look! Rimuru is on
    his way back to Tempest!
[21:52] Veldora
    Ah, what a fine job you did! Well done!
[21:58] Veldora
    Wait... Who is that?
[22:00] Ifrit
    Who?
[22:02] Ifrit
    That's...
[22:04] Veldora
    I feel a strange apprehension...
