[00:05] Hinata
    The world is filled with despair.

    I want you to rely on me.

    has brought the new book.
[00:32] Hinata
    Very well.
[00:38] Hinata
    A nation of monsters,

SIGN    Jura Tempest Federation
[00:43] Hinata
    The Great Forest of Jura
    stretches across the center
[00:46] Hinata
    of the eastern part of the continent.
[00:48] Hinata
    With Goblins, Ogres,
    Orcs, Lizardmen, and more,
[00:53] Hinata
    a wide variety of monster species
    called this forest home
[00:56] Hinata
    when the new nation
    was suddenly built in it.
[00:59] Hinata
    A nation of monsters: Tempest.
[01:03] Hinata
    The city is clean and well-maintained
    for comfortable living.
[01:09] Hinata
    Its residents are educated in reading,
    writing, arithmetic, and other subjects,
[01:13] Hinata
    and they produce weapons, armor, silk,
    and other products with well-trained skills.

SIGN    Kingdom of
    Blumund

    a nation of humans,
[01:30] Hinata
    have established friendships with it.
[01:34] Hinata
    It also participates in trading
    and enjoys a stable economy.
[01:39] Hinata
    Its influence grows by the day.
[01:43] Hinata
    The leader of this nation of monsters,
    the Jura Tempest Federation...
[01:50] Hinata
    is named Rimuru Tempest.
[01:57] Hinata
    Rimuru...
SIGN    That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime
[03:31] Rimuru
    I'm Rimuru Tempest.
SIGN    Digression: Hinata Sakaguchi
[03:33] Rimuru
    As you can see, I'm a slime.
[03:36] Rimuru
    But I used to be a human.
[03:44] Mikami
    Sure is peaceful...
[03:47] Rimuru
    This is the former me.
[03:49] Rimuru
    Mikami Satoru, age 37,
[03:52] Rimuru
    and a virg—
[03:55] Rimuru
    I was a pretty good-looking guy,
    if I do say so myself.
[03:58] Rimuru
    Yeah, I think I was. Don't you?
[04:01] Rimuru
    You do, right?
[04:04] Rimuru
    I was a fairly capable employee
    at a major general contracting firm.
[04:10] Rimuru
    But...
[04:18] Mikami
    Tamura!
[04:38] Tamura
    S-Senpai!
[04:42] Rimuru
    I was stabbed in a random attack...
[04:46] Rimuru
    and died.
[04:51] Rimuru
    And then...
[04:53] Rimuru
    for some reason, I was reincarnated
    in another world as a slime.
[04:57] Rimuru
    And that's what happened.
[05:06] Veldora
    I am the Storm Dragon, Veldora.
[05:09] Rimuru
    Storm Dragon?
[05:10] Veldora
    I am one of only four True Dragons
    that exist in this world.
[05:22] Rimuru
    Veldora was the first friend
    I made in this world.
[05:28] Head
    Please grant us your protection!
[05:31] Head
    If you do, we will swear our loyalty to you!
[05:35] Leader
    We will swear!
[05:36] Rimuru
    In lieu of the Storm Dragon Veldora,
[05:41] Rimuru
    I, Rimuru Tempest, will grant your wish!
[05:44] Rimuru
    In some bizarre twist,
    I became the protector of the Goblins...
[05:48] Wolves
    Our pack yields to you.
[05:51] Rimuru
    And then I became
    the head of a Direwolf pack.
[05:56] Benimaru
    Please accept our allegiance.
[05:59] Benimaru
    We will continue to serve you.
[06:03] Rimuru
    You're sure?
[06:05] Hakuro
    I have no objections.
[06:08] Soei
    We are truly fortunate to have met you.
[06:13] Shion
    I'm your secretary and
    bodyguard, Great Rimuru!
[06:17] Shion
    I'll never leave your side!
[06:19] Benimaru
    Not until the ends of our lives.
[06:22] Rimuru
    O-Okay...
[06:24] Rimuru
    And before I knew what was happening,
[06:27] Rimuru
    I was revered as the head of the Ogres,
    Orcs, and all kinds of other races.
[06:33] Rigurd
    Then our nation shall be called
    the Jura Tempest Federation,
[06:37] Rigurd
    and this town shall be called Rimuru!
[06:40] Rimuru
    Huh?!
[06:41] Rigurd
    Capital City Rimuru!
[06:43] Rimuru
    Hang on, that's kinda embarrassi—
[06:45] Shion
    Capital City Rimuru!
[06:47] Shion
    No other name would do!
[06:48] Benimaru
    I agree. It's a perfect name for our town.
[06:52] Rimuru
    Since I had become this nation's leader,
[06:55] Rimuru
    I made up my mind to protect all my allies
[06:57] Rimuru
    and make Tempest a safe, prosperous,
    comfortable city to live in.
[07:03] Rimuru
    And then, somehow...
[07:06] Rimuru
    I ended up becoming a school teacher.
[07:11] Rimuru
    This is the Kingdom of Engrassia.
SIGN    Kingdom of Engrassia
[07:14] Rimuru
    It's the leading cultural center
    of the western part of the continent,
[07:18] Rimuru
    as well as a large, vibrant nation.
[07:23] Rimuru
    There, a mutual aid organization
    for adventurers, the Free Union,
[07:27] Rimuru
    established Free Academy to
    nurture and teach its members.
[07:32] Rimuru
    And that's where...
[07:34] Rimuru
    I was appointed to teach
    a class of problematic kids.
[07:38] Rimuru
    The five of them were the regret
    that Shizu-san had left behind.
[07:44] Rimuru
    Shizu-san had come to this world
    from Japan, just like me.
[07:58] Rimuru
    I reincarnated here after dying in Japan,
[08:01] Rimuru
    but Shizu-san was a Summon,
    meaning she had been summoned here...
[08:17] Rimuru
    by the Demon Lord Leon Cromwell.
[08:21] Leon
    I thought she was useless, but she
    may have an affinity for fire.
[08:31] Leon
    Ifrit, I offer her body to you.
[08:36] Leon
    Use it well.
[08:51] Rimuru
    A Summon, as the name suggests,
[08:53] Rimuru
    is someone who was summoned into this world.
[08:56] Rimuru
    A Summon?
[08:58] Rimuru
    Is that different from Otherworlders?
[09:00] Veldora
    It takes more than 30 mages to perform
    a ritual that lasts several days
[09:05] Veldora
    to bring one here from another world.
[09:06] Veldora
    They're also expected to serve
    as powerful weapons.
[09:10] Rimuru
    Weapons?
[09:11] Veldora
    Yes, for the Summoner.
[09:13] Veldora
    Magic is used to carve a curse
    into the Summon's soul
[09:16] Veldora
    to ensure that the Summon
    can't defy the Summoner.
[09:19] Rimuru
    What the heck?! That's just cruel!
[09:22] Veldora
    Cruel, eh?
[09:24] Veldora
    I don't know what your world was like,
[09:26] Veldora
    but survival of the fittest is the
    prevailing truth in this world.
[09:31] Rimuru
    I see...
[09:34] Rimuru
    Shizu-san remained in service
    to the Demon Lord Leon.
[09:38] Rimuru
    Whether that's because of a curse
    or because of the fire spirit Ifrit
[09:44] Rimuru
    was unclear, even to Shizu-san herself.
[09:49] Rimuru
    Several years passed.
[09:51] Rimuru
    After an intense battle,
[09:54] Rimuru
    the Demon Lord abandoned his castle
    and vanished somewhere,
[09:58] Rimuru
    leaving Shizu-san behind.
[10:06] Shizu
    I can't beat her...
[10:11] Rimuru
    Shizu-san was then taken in by the Hero.
[10:15] Rimuru
    She traveled with the Hero for years...
[10:18] Rimuru
    and even after they parted ways,
[10:21] Rimuru
    she traveled the world as an adventurer
    to save people who were suffering.
[10:26] Rimuru
    Eventually, she became known as a Champion.
[10:30] Rimuru
    But as she grew older, her magic weakened,
[10:34] Rimuru
    and she began to lose control over Ifrit.
[10:38] Rimuru
    She didn't want to risk
    hurting anyone she cared about,
[10:42] Rimuru
    so she retired from adventuring
    and became a teacher at Free Academy.
[10:47] Rimuru
    Among her students was Yuuki Kagurazaka,
[10:49] Rimuru
    who became the Grandmaster
    of the adventurers' guild.
[10:54] Rimuru
    I heard that there was another
    who left Shizu-san's side,
[10:58] Rimuru
    but her last batch of students...
[11:01] Rimuru
    Yes, Kenya Misaki,
[11:04] Rimuru
    Ryota Sekiguchi,
[11:06] Rimuru
    Gail Gibson,
[11:07] Rimuru
    Alice Rondo,
[11:09] Rimuru
    and Chloe Aubert...
[11:13] Rimuru
    were all Summons from
    the world I had come from.
[11:17] (Flashback) Kenya
    What're we gonna do today, Sensei?
[11:20] (Flashback) Shizu
    That's a good question.
    What should we do today?
[11:24] Rimuru
    But then,
[11:26] Rimuru
    Shizu-san sensed that she
    didn't have long left to live...
[11:32] Rimuru
    and she set out on her final journey.
[11:35] Rimuru
    So, do you like our town?
[11:41] Shizu
    Yes, very much.
[11:45] Rimuru
    You're welcome to stay
    as long as you'd like, Shizu-san.
[11:49] Shizu
    Thank you... but I have to go.
[11:53] Rimuru
    You do?
[11:55] Shizu
    If I stay here, I might
    bring trouble for you.
[12:02] Shizu
    The goal of my journey is...
[12:04] Rimuru
    Goal?
[12:07] Shizu
    ...to find the man who summoned me.
[12:12] Rimuru
    What will you do when you find him?
[12:16] Rimuru
    She wanted to see the Demon
    Lord Leon Cromwell again.
[12:21] Rimuru
    But she couldn't fulfill that goal.
[12:30] Rimuru
    Take this! Icicle Shotgun!
[12:36] Rimuru
    She could no longer restrain Ifrit,
[12:39] Rimuru
    and then...
[12:51] Shizu
    Hey, Slime-san, what's your name?
[12:55] Rimuru
    Huh? I told you, I'm Rimuru.
[12:59] Shizu
    No, I mean your real name.
[13:01] Rimuru
    Oh...
[13:03] Rimuru
    It's Satoru. Mikami Satoru.
[13:07] Shizu
    I'm Shizue. Izawa Shizue.
[13:16] Rimuru
    Shizue-san, you should sleep now.
[13:20] Shizu
    Satoru-san, I'd like to ask a favor.
[13:24] Shizu
    May I?
[13:26] Rimuru
    Of course. Ask me anything.
[13:32] Shizu
    Please...
[13:34] Shizu
    eat me.
[13:38] Shizu
    Just like you ate the curse
    that had been cast on me.
[13:46] Shizu
    That made me so happy.
[13:51] Shizu
    I dislike this world...
[13:56] Shizu
    Still, I can't abhor it.
[14:00] Shizu
    Just like that man...
[14:03] Shizu
    So... That's why...
[14:07] Shizu
    I don't want to be absorbed by this world.
[14:12] Shizu
    This is... my last request.
[14:18] Shizu
    Would you... let me rest inside you?
[14:31] Rimuru
    Okay.
[14:37] Rimuru
    I swear to you on the name of
    Mikami Satoru... no, Rimuru Tempest,
[14:43] Rimuru
    that I will make certain the Demon Lord
    Leon Cromwell hears your wishes!
[14:48] Shizu
    Thank... you...
[15:00] Rimuru
    Shizu-san, my destined one...
[15:04] Rimuru
    Rest in peace within me.
[15:08] Great Sage
    Use unique skill "Predator"?
SIGN    Use unique skill "Predator"?
[15:12] Rimuru
    Yes.
[15:14] Rimuru
    So that she can dream happy dreams forever
    and never have to wake from them.
[15:30] Clayman
    You intend to interfere with my plans,
[15:35] Clayman
    leader of the Great Forest
    of Jura, Rimuru Tempest?
[15:44] Clayman
    Orcs.
[15:46] Clayman
    I had the idea to use those starved pigs
    to strengthen my forces, but...
[16:13] Rimuru
    I've acknowledged you as an enemy.
[16:16] Rimuru
    Now I'll take you on for real.
[16:20] Geld
    Laughable!
[16:22] Geld
    Does that mean you weren't
    serious before now?
[16:25] Geld
    There is nothing more you can do!
[16:29] Geld
    Just accept that I'm going to eat you!
[16:33] Rimuru
    Before you can eat me, I'm going to eat you.
[16:38] Rimuru
    I'm a slime.
[16:42] Geld
    Wha—
[16:46] Geld
    Wh-Why, you...
[16:48] Rimuru
    You're not the only one who can eat things!
[16:53] Rimuru
    Will you eat me first...
[16:59] Rimuru
    or will I eat you first?
[17:01] Rimuru
    The one who completely
    consumes the other wins!
[17:24] Clayman
    I never even imagined
    that you would interfere.
[17:34] Clayman
    Even though I sent out
    the resurrected Charybdis after that,
[17:40] Clayman
    the Demon Lord Milim joined their side...
[17:48] Milim
    I've already seen that trick.
[17:51] Milim
    Now, I'll show you one of mine.
[17:59] Milim
    This is...
[18:01] Milim
    what you call "restraint"!
[18:05] Milim
    Drago Buster!
[18:19] Clayman
    Well, no matter.
[18:21] Clayman
    I will make use of Milim soon enough.
[18:26] Clayman
    As for that slime... Rimuru,
    as I believe he is called...
[18:30] Clayman
    I will see that he disappears
[18:32] Clayman
    along with his beloved nation of Tempest
    and everyone dear to him.
[18:37] Clayman
    He has truly started
    to become a nuisance of late.
[18:42] Clayman
    Since he chose to interfere
    with the Demon Lord Clayman,
[18:47] Clayman
    I must assume he is prepared
    for the consequences.
[18:57] Rimuru
    Shizu-san's lingering regret
[18:59] Rimuru
    was the five kids who
    were summoned into this world.
[19:04] Yuuki
    When a summoning is performed,
    there are times when a child is summoned.
[19:09] Yuuki
    And when an amount of energy too vast
[19:12] Yuuki
    for that child's growing body is taken in...
[19:16] Yuuki
    Eventually, that body will be incinerated
    by all that energy with nowhere to go.
[19:22] Yuuki
    No one has found a way to
    prevent their destruction.
[19:26] Yuuki
    Nearly all children under the age
    of ten who have been summoned
[19:29] Yuuki
    have died within five years.
[19:32] Yuuki
    Please!
[19:34] Yuuki
    If it's at all possible,
    please save those children!
[19:39] Rimuru
    I'll just do whatever I can.
[19:42] Rimuru
    It's what I've always done,
    and what I'll continue to do.
[19:47] Rimuru
    That was when I thought...
[19:49] Rimuru
    Shizu-san was also summoned as a child,
[19:53] Rimuru
    but she lived.
[19:54] Rimuru
    Was it because housing Ifrit within her body
[19:57] Rimuru
    enabled her to control
    the energy she had inside her?
[20:01] Rimuru
    So I decided to get spirits
    to dwell in the kids' bodies,
[20:05] Rimuru
    and we headed to the Dwelling of Spirits.
[20:08] Rimuru
    Our goal was to capture superior spirits.
[20:11] Rimuru
    In the Dwelling of Spirits, we got
    the Queen of Spirits, Ramiris, to help us.
[20:17] Rimuru
    Right!
[20:19] Rimuru
    Kenya, Ryota, Gail, Alice, Chloe...
[20:24] Rimuru
    Let's do this!
[20:25] Kids
    Yeah!
[20:27] Rimuru
    Shizu-san, wherever you are,
    are you watching?
[20:30] Rimuru
    I'll make sure your wish is realized.
[20:40] Rimuru
    And then...
[20:42] Rimuru
    I helped each of the kids house a spirit,
[20:45] Rimuru
    successfully stabilizing
    the magicules in their bodies.
[20:48] Rimuru
    Although I'm not sure what the one
    that took up residence in Chloe was...
[20:54] Rimuru
    But it worked out, so it's not a problem!
[20:57] Rimuru
    Yep! All's well that ends well!
[21:10] Rimuru
    I did it, Shizu-san.
[21:12] Rimuru
    They'll be okay now.
[21:15] Rimuru
    With that, Shizu-san's
    lingering regret was resolved.
[21:19] Rimuru
    And they all lived happily ever after!
[21:24] Rimuru
    At least, that's what I thought.
[21:27] Rimuru
    But I had no idea that
    an unimaginable disaster
[21:31] Rimuru
    was about to strike Tempest,
    my allies, and me personally...
[21:38] Rimuru
    and that disaster would be brought to us
[21:42] Rimuru
    by Shizu-san's former student,
    Hinata Sakaguchi.
[21:53] Hinata
    Rimuru Tempest... and Shizu-sensei?
[22:00] Hinata
    I see. So you...
[22:05] Hinata
    killed Shizu-sensei.
