[00:02] Rimuru
    The delegation from the
    Animal Kingdom of Eurazania,
[00:05] Rimuru
    sent by the Demon Lord
    Carrion, arrived in Tempest.
[00:09] Rimuru
    But the moment they did,
    some things happened...
[00:25] Rimuru
    And this is what it devolved into.
[00:29] Rimuru
    I mean, it is kind of my fault... I guess?
SIGN    That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime
SIGN    Episode 26: Trade with the Animal Kingdom
[02:27] Suphia
    Is that all the strength a Kijin has?
[02:29] Suphia
    You can entertain me a lot more than that!
[02:31] Shion
    That was my intent all along.
[02:40] Shion
    Prepare yourself!
[02:44] Ranga
    That's...
[02:45] Rimuru
    A maximum Magic Bullet?!
[02:47] Rimuru
    H-Hey, Shion, hang on a second!
[02:50] Rimuru
    Do you wanna blow this
    entire area to bits?!
[02:53] Rimuru
    Oh, jeez! She's not listening!
[02:55] Suphia
    Ooh, nice! Bring it on!
[02:58] Rimuru
    And that Suphia lady is
    dead set on taking it!
[03:01] Rimuru
    Will there even be anything left
    of her if that thing hits her?!
[03:05] Rimuru
    What do I do? Stop her?
[03:09] Shion
    Here it comes!
[03:10] Albis
    Stop!
[03:16] Albis
    That is enough.
[03:22] Rimuru
    Beast transformation, huh?
[03:25] Albis
    Let us end this here.
[03:28] Rimuru
    So what's the verdict? Do we pass?
[03:32] Albis
    Yes.
[03:34] Grucius
    We're done here.
[03:35] Youm
    Huh?
[03:36] Youm
    Er, Master, does this mean...
[03:38] Rimuru
    It looks like they were testing us.
[03:43] Suphia
    No complaints here.
    Your might is impressive.
[03:45] Suphia
    There'll be plenty of value for us
    in associating with you as equals.
[03:49] Suphia
    I'm convinced of that now.
[03:51] Suphia
    To underestimate the leader of
    the Jura Tempest Federation,
[03:53] Suphia
    Rimuru Tempest, and his companions
[03:56] Suphia
    should be considered an
    insult to Lord Carrion!
[03:59] Suphia
    Got it?
[03:59] All
    Yes, ma'am!
[04:00] Grucius
    Lady Suphia is right.
[04:02] Grucius
    There aren't many humans who
    can keep up with me so well.
[04:07] Youm
    Glad to hear that.
[04:12] Rimuru
    They had me worried, and so
    soon after they arrived here...
[04:15] Shuna
    I'm glad it all worked out nicely.
[04:17] Rimuru
    Shion, you get it now, right?
[04:21] Rimuru
    Shion?
[04:23] Shion
    Um...
[04:24] Shion
    What do I do with this?
[04:26] Rimuru
    Crap! It's about to blow!
[04:28] Rimuru
    C-Can't you get rid of it?!
[04:30] Shion
    No, I can't! My energy is at its limit!
[04:36] Soei
    Great Rimuru, we must take shelter.
[04:37] Suphia
    J-Just calm down!
[04:39] Suphia
    Gently... Gently aim that thing upward!
[04:42] Shion
    U-Upward?
[04:45] Suphia
    Force it if you have to! Just do it!
[04:48] Shion
    I-I don't think I can!
[04:50] Rimuru
    Honestly, Shion, you're hopeless.
[04:58] Rimuru
    Shion, fire it at me!
[05:00] Rimuru
    Don't worry.
[05:02] Shion
    But...
[05:04] Rimuru
    Trust me!
[05:06] Shion
    O-Okay! Here it comes!
[05:12] Rimuru
    Gluttony!
[05:24] Rimuru
    There, all done.
[05:29] Albis
    It can't be...
[05:30] Youm
    Are you kidding me?
[05:34] Ranga
    That much is only natural
    to expect from my master.
[05:40] Shuna
    Are you all right?
[05:42] Albis
    I can see why Lord Carrion approves of you.
[05:46] Albis
    We are grateful that our nation has
    established relations with yours.
[05:50] Rimuru
    Likewise.
[05:51] Rimuru
    Welcome to Tempest!
[05:55] Rimuru
    Thus we welcomed the
    delegation from Eurazania.
[06:03] Rimuru
    That night,
[06:05] Rimuru
    a little welcome party was held in the
    reception hall we had just completed.
[06:16] Grucius
    This is good!
[06:17] Beast A
    The flavoring is fantastic.
[06:19] Beast B
    It's just salty enough, too.
[06:21] Beast B
    I could eat this forever!
[06:23] Beast B
    Delicious!
[06:32] Albis
    What bliss.
[06:34] Shuna
    She's quite the drinker.
[06:35] Rimuru
    Who the heck gave her entire barrels?
[06:39] Rimuru
    And over here...
[06:46] Rimuru
    Hey, are you sure you should let
    strangers see you doing that?
[06:50] Albis
    It isn't particularly a secret.
[06:53] Rimuru
    R-Really?
[06:54] Albis
    But...
[06:56] Albis
    it is a side I only show to those I trust.
[06:59] Rimuru
    I see. Well, okay, then.
[07:03] Rimuru
    Still, though...
[07:06] Rimuru
    I can't believe you drank all
    of the apple brandy alone.
[07:10] Albis
    All of it?
[07:11] Albis
    You don't make very much?
[07:14] Rimuru
    Oh, sorry. Don't worry about it.
[07:16] Rimuru
    Of course, it's something we
    make specially for guests,
[07:20] Rimuru
    but we rely on the bounty
    of the forest for our fruit,
[07:22] Rimuru
    so we can't pick very much.
[07:26] Albis
    In that case, I have a good idea.
[07:30] Albis
    Fruit is abundant in Eurazania.
[07:33] Albis
    I can arrange to have some sent here.
[07:36] Rimuru
    What? Really?
[07:38] Albis
    Of course.
[07:39] Shuna
    Isn't that wonderful, Great Rimuru?
[07:42] Rimuru
    Yeah!
[07:48] Rimuru
    I see.
[07:49] Rimuru
    That's a "so give us your
    country's booze," isn't it?
[07:54] Rimuru
    In what ratio?
[07:56] Suphia
    We'll trust you to work out the details.
[07:58] Suphia
    I'm happy as long as I can drink good liquor.
[08:01] Suphia
    Eurazania's fruit is top-quality,
    so you can expect the best!
[08:07] Rimuru
    Hmm...
[08:09] Rimuru
    Leaving the mundane stuff to us, huh?
[08:12] Rimuru
    How much would make it an equal trade?
[08:19] Rimuru
    Okay. I'll let a specialist handle this.
[08:21] Rimuru
    Shuna!
[08:22] Shuna
    Yes, Great Rimuru?
[08:24] Rimuru
    Go get Koby for me.
[08:29] Rimuru
    He's a Kobold merchant.
SIGN    Kobold Merchant Koby
[08:31] Rimuru
    He's running a shop in Tempest now,
[08:33] Rimuru
    and he manages all of our merchants.
[08:36] Koby
    G-Great Rimuru, what is this about?
[08:39] Rimuru
    This is Koby-chan.
    He represents all our merchants.
[08:41] Rimuru
    He's also done business
    in Demon Lord domains,
[08:44] Rimuru
    so I'm putting him in charge of our trade.
[08:46] Koby
    Huh?!
[08:47] Rimuru
    These folks are from the Animal Kingdom.
[08:50] Rimuru
    If there's anything besides the liquor
    that you're interested in, negotiate away.
[08:53] Koby
    Wait, wait, wait! Weaker races aren't
    allowed in the Animal Kingdom!
[08:58] Suphia
    We'll make sure to get you
    clearance. Don't be shy.
[09:00] Albis
    And we will inform Lord Carrion in advance.
[09:03] Rimuru
    You're not all that different
    from the Lycanthropes.
[09:05] Rimuru
    You'll get on fine.
[09:06] Koby
    What?!
[09:08] Rimuru
    So it's settled. Thanks!
[09:11] Koby
    Um, er... All right...
[09:16] Rimuru
    Well, I'll leave you young folks to it, then.
[09:19] Shuna
    Please excuse us.
[09:22] Koby
    Huh?! Wha... Wait!
[09:26] Koby
    Great Rimuru!
[09:30] Rimuru
    We can rest easy with Koby-chan handling it.
[09:33] Shuna
    Yes, you're right.
[09:35] Rimuru
    Negotiations always go more
    smoothly over drinks, too.
[09:41] Rimuru
    And so the night wore on.
[09:45] Rimuru
    Not a bad start to our
    relations with foreign lands!
[09:53] Rimuru
    A few days later, Albis and
    Suphia returned to Eurazania.
[10:01] Rimuru
    Our nations plan to share
    our skills, as well.
[10:03] Rimuru
    These folks stayed behind in Tempest
    to learn some of our techniques.
[10:09] Rimuru
    They're all diligent and good-natured.
[10:16] Beast
    How do you get hot water to come out
    of this thing you call a "faucet"?
[10:20] Beast
    You don't seem to be boiling it anywhere.
[10:23] Dord
    It's rune magic.
[10:25] Beast
    Rune magic?
[10:26] Beast
    Where are the runes?
[10:30] Dord
    There's a magicrystal with a heat magic
    rune on it built into the handle.
[10:36] Beast
    I see!
[10:37] Beast
    So if anyone with magic turns
    it, the water is heated!
[10:41] Beast
    Dwarf artisans really know their stuff!
[10:44] Dord
    Aw, this isn't such a big deal.
[10:46] Dord
    Plus it was actually Rimuru's idea...
SIGN    To be precise, it was Great Sage's idea.
[10:53] Youm
    You're not gonna observe the artisans
    like the rest of your people?
[10:57] Grucius
    Nah, not me.
[10:58] Grucius
    Sir Phobio, the Black Leopard Fang,
    who's in confinement now,
[11:01] Grucius
    ordered me to be useful to Great Rimuru.
[11:05] Youm
    That's why you're hanging
    out with the town guard?
[11:07] Grucius
    That's right.
[11:09] Gobta
    Hey, Grucius!
[11:11] Gobta
    We're going on patrol.
[11:12] Grucius
    Got it.
[11:14] Grucius
    Later.
[11:18] Youm
    Well, guess I'll hop in
    the bath or something...
[11:22] Hakuro
    You will train with the sword.
[11:25] Youm
    Yes, sir.
[11:32] Tiss
    For dividing fractions, looking
    at it this way is a bit difficult,
[11:37] Tiss
    so we'll try converting them
    to multiplication problems.
[11:40] Tiss
    To convert division problems
    to multiplication problems,
[11:42] Rimuru
    They're still studying even without me here.
[11:43] Tiss
    you swap the numerator and
    denominator on the right side.
[11:46] Tiss
    We call this the inverse.
[11:49] Tiss
    When you multiply the inverse with the
    original number, the answer is always...
[11:54] Rimuru
    Then a few more days passed...
[11:57] Rimuru
    and Youm's gang set out to further
    spread their reputation as champions.
[12:02] Rimuru
    They just missed the return of
    our delegation led by Benimaru.
[12:08] Benimaru
    Eurazania's knights are as
    remarkable as you would expect.
[12:11] Benimaru
    Every last knight was painstakingly
    trained by Demon Lord Carrion himself.
[12:16] Rimuru
    I can see why they call him the Beastmaster.
[12:19] Rimuru
    Anything else?
[12:20] Rigur
    Yes. The buildings there are quite
    crude compared to Tempest's.
[12:25] Rigur
    But the royal palace is highly extravagant.
[12:28] Rigur
    It's very clear that the
    wealth is concentrated there.
[12:33] Rigurd
    Rigur has grown into such a fine man!
[12:38] Rigur
    Uh...
[12:40] Rigur
    But I don't mean that in a bad way.
[12:43] Rigur
    It's what the kingdom's citizens want.
[12:45] Rimuru
    I see.
[12:46] Rigur
    And it's not just the architecture.
[12:48] Rigur
    Their craftsmanship, among other
    things, is also inferior to ours.
[12:51] Rimuru
    Yeah, because we have not
    only Kaijin and his buddies,
[12:53] Rimuru
    but Kurobei and Shuna, too.
[12:56] Rigur
    But there was just one thing
    I found absolutely incredible.
[13:00] Rimuru
    What was it?
[13:01] Rigur
    Their agriculture.
[13:03] Rimuru
    Oh!
[13:05] Rigur
    Their vast fields are unlike
    anything we have here in Tempest,
[13:09] Rigur
    and they grow a brilliant
    array of produce in abundance.
[13:12] Rimuru
    Do you think we can learn their techniques?
[13:18] Rigur
    I think it's possible.
[13:20] Rimuru
    All right!
[13:21] Rimuru
    We'll have our next delegation focus
    on checking out their agriculture!
[13:25] Rigurd
    We have improved our food situation
    significantly as it is,
[13:29] Rigurd
    but in some areas, we are still
    in a stage of trial and error.
[13:32] Rigurd
    This may be helpful in
    improving those areas...
[13:39] Rigurd
    Rigur has grown into such a fine man!
[13:41] Rimuru
    Okay, I need to get ready to
    head for the Dwarf Kingdom,
[13:44] Rimuru
    so you guys can handle the rest.
[13:46] Rimuru
    I'm counting on you all.
[13:47] All
    Right!
[13:53] Benimaru
    Great Rimuru.
[13:58] Benimaru
    If you will allow it,
[14:00] Benimaru
    would it be all right to make Rigur
    the head of the delegation henceforth?
[14:05] Rimuru
    What's this about?
[14:07] Benimaru
    I have determined that Demon
    Lord Carrion can be trusted.
[14:11] Benimaru
    There is no concern that he
    will treat our envoys poorly.
[14:14] Benimaru
    That being the case, I feel I should
    remain here to defend our nation.
[14:18] Rimuru
    Hmm... And you think Rigur can
    be entrusted to take over.
[14:23] Rimuru
    That's what you're saying?
[14:24] Benimaru
    Yes.
[14:25] Rimuru
    Okay, sounds good.
[14:27] Benimaru
    Thank you.
[14:31] Rimuru
    But if you really trust him that much,
[14:34] Rimuru
    I guess Carrion rules with
    more than just strength, huh?
[14:37] Benimaru
    Indeed.
[14:39] Benimaru
    The truth is, I tried
    picking a fight with him,
[14:41] Benimaru
    and he laughed at me.
[14:43] Rimuru
    Huh?!
[14:45] Rimuru
    Y-Y-You actually...
[14:48] Benimaru
    I couldn't use Hell Flare, of course,
[14:51] Benimaru
    so I lost spectacularly.
[14:53] Benimaru
    I still have much to learn.
[14:55] Rimuru
    You're so...
[14:56] Benimaru
    Oh, but I did defeat Phobio.
[14:59] Rimuru
    I see...
[15:00] Rimuru
    I mean, it's amazing that
    you beat Phobio, but...
[15:05] Rimuru
    Yeah, no! He's definitely a guy I shouldn't
    have allowed outside this country!
[15:11] Rimuru
    So all of that happened, but...
[15:15] Rimuru
    The next day,
[15:16] Rimuru
    it was my turn to set off for Dwargon.
[15:21] Rimuru
    Hey, Ranga! Too fast!
[15:23] Ranga
    Understood, Master!
[15:27] Rimuru
    Ranga!
[15:30] Rimuru
    This time, I was accompanied by six
    Goblin Riders, including Gobta and Gobzo...
[15:36] Rimuru
    Shuna and Shion...
[15:38] Rimuru
    and Kaijin, along with the Dwarf
    brothers, Garm, Dord, and Myrd.
[15:44] Kaijin
    It'll be real nice to take
    it easy in Dwargon again.
[15:47] Kaijin
    I sure do appreciate this.
[15:49] Garm
    You said it! Right, you guys?
[15:52] Dord
    Absolutely!
[15:55] Rimuru
    I'm glad to hear you guys say that, too.
[15:58] Rimuru
    Our nation has come so far
    thanks to your help, after all.
[16:02] Kaijin
    Hearing you say that makes me
    feel blessed to be a craftsman.
[16:06] Garm
    Yeah.
[16:07] Rimuru
    I'm truly glad I met all of you.
[16:10] Kaijin
    Aw, gee...
[16:15] Rimuru
    By the way, the two carriages behind us
[16:18] Rimuru
    are loaded with gifts for King Gazel.
[16:20] Rimuru
    And if you're thinking
    it would've been easier
[16:22] Rimuru
    to carry them in my stomach
    than load them in carriages...
[16:25] (Flashback) Shuna
    Formality is important
    in matters such as these.
[16:28] Rimuru
    ...is what I was told.
[16:30] Rimuru
    That's an Ogre princess for you.
[16:32] Rimuru
    She's been learning a lot from Vesta lately,
[16:34] Rimuru
    so I can count on her when it comes
    to things like etiquette, too.
[16:37] Rimuru
    And I thought Shion would be
[16:39] Rimuru
    an even worse candidate to let outside
    the country than Benimaru, but...
[16:43] (Flashback) Shion
    What?
[16:44] (Flashback) Shion
    Princess Shuna is going
    on a vacation with you?
[16:47] (Flashback) Rimuru
    No, it's business, not a vacation...
[16:49] (Flashback) Shion
    That's not fair! Not fair at all!
[16:51] (Flashback) Shion
    Why does only Princess Shuna
    get to have fun with you?!
[16:53] (Flashback) Rimuru
    It's business! Business!
[16:59] (Flashback) Rigur
    Lady Shion, please relax!
[17:01] (Flashback) Rigurd
    Just calm down!
[17:04] Rimuru
    So she cried, she screamed,
    she threw a fit...
[17:10] (Flashback) Rimuru
    Can I leave things to you, Rigurd?
[17:14] (Flashback) Rigurd
    Th-This is... n-nothing...
[17:16] Rimuru
    I felt bad leaving her with
    Rigurd and the others,
[17:19] Rimuru
    so I agreed to take her along.
[17:22] Rimuru
    Of course, when she's quiet,
    she looks like a capable lady.
[17:26] Rimuru
    As long as I keep an eye on her,
    it shouldn't end in disaster.
[17:31] Shion
    Great Rimuru, look.
[17:35] Shion
    The road that was destroyed in
    the battle against Charybdis
[17:38] Shion
    is almost completely cleaned up.
[17:40] Rimuru
    Hey, you're right. They work fast.
[17:43] Shion
    Geld and his comrades never cease to impress.
[17:52] Geld
    Good. We're on schedule.
[17:54] Orc
    Sir Geld, we'll need to place
    an order for more stones.
[17:58] Geld
    Very well.
[17:59] Geld
    I'll send word to the quarry.
[18:01] Orc
    Thank you.
[18:03] Orc
    Isn't that...
[18:10] Geld
    This was the day of your departure
    for the Dwarf Kingdom?
[18:13] Rimuru
    Yeah.
[18:14] Rimuru
    With the road laid so well,
    it's been a smooth, easy ride.
[18:17] Geld
    Yes, we've been working from the
    direction of the Dwarf Kingdom,
[18:21] Geld
    so the rest of the road from
    this point forward is finished.
[18:24] Rimuru
    Oh? Sounds like it'll be an
    even nicer ride from here.
[18:27] Rimuru
    Good work!
[18:29] Geld
    Thank you.
[18:31] Rimuru
    So...
[18:37] Geld
    What is this?
[18:38] Rimuru
    Beer.
[18:40] Orcs
    Beer?!
[18:42] Rimuru
    Don't drink too much, though!
[18:43] Orc
    Thank you, Great Rimuru!
[18:44] Geld
    Yes, sir!
[18:46] Rimuru
    And so our journey continued smoothly...
[18:49] Rimuru
    and four days after our departure,
[18:51] Rimuru
    we arrived in the nation of Dwargon.
[18:55] Kaido
    Gate opening!
[18:56] Guy
    Look at those fine magical
    beasts pulling their carriages.
[18:59] Guy
    Are these people that important?
[19:01] Guy
    Those are magical beasts?
    I've never seen any before.
[19:03] Guy
    The way those carriages
    are made is unusual...
[19:06] Kaido
    Hey, Bro.
[19:09] Kaido
    Glad to see you're looking so well.
[19:11] Kaijin
    Kaido, it's you!
[19:12] Kaijin
    It's been so long! How've you been?
[19:14] Kaijin
    I've been having a great
    time working for Rimuru.
[19:17] Kaido
    I bet. I can tell from the look on your face.
[19:20] Kaido
    You guys been doing good, too, Garm?
[19:22] Garm
    Yep, thanks for asking.
[19:23] Dord
    Sure have.
[19:25] Kaido
    So... where's Rimuru, anyway?
[19:28] Kaijin
    Huh?
[19:30] Kaido
    He's a guest of the state, you know.
[19:33] Kaido
    I need to give him a proper welcome.
[19:35] Rimuru
    What's he talking about? I'm right here...
[19:38] Rimuru
    Oh, right. He only knows my slime form.
[19:44] Kaijin
    This is Rimuru.
[19:46] Kaido
    Huh?
[19:47] Garm
    This is Rimuru.
[19:49] Kaido
    Eh?
[19:50] Dord
    This is him.
[19:51] Kaido
    Wha?
[19:52] Kaido
    What?!
[19:54] Rimuru
    Yeah, some stuff happened...
[19:57] Kaido
    R-Rimuru... sir... you look well,
    and that's all that matters.
[20:01] Kaido
    Um... well, then, right this way.
[20:04] Rimuru
    Yeah, I can't blame him.
[20:08] Rimuru
    And so we arrived safely in Dwargon
[20:12] Rimuru
    and had our audience with
    King Gazel right away.
[20:18] Dorf
    I'm glad to see you're
    in good health, Rimuru.
[20:21] Rimuru
    Same to you, Dorf-dono.
[20:25] Dorf
    Please, no need for formalities with me.
[20:28] Dorf
    Now, our king awaits you.
[20:31] Rimuru
    Dorf is the captain of the Pegasus Knights,
[20:33] Rimuru
    who helped us in the
    battle against Charybdis.
[20:35] Rimuru
    The Pegasus Knights are a top-secret
    force in direct service to the king,
[20:39] Rimuru
    so they normally present themselves as
    regular civil servants, just like this.
[20:46] Soldier
    The ruler of the Jura Tempest Federation,
[20:48] Soldier
    His Majesty Rimuru, has arrived.
[20:58] Dorf
    Please, go on inside.
[21:06] Rimuru
    The king of the Armed Nation of Dwargon,
[21:08] Rimuru
    Gazel Dwargo.
[21:12] Gazel
    It's been some time, Rimuru.
[21:24] Clayman
    I see.
[21:29] Clayman
    Well done.
[21:30] Clayman
    This is quite the intriguing report.
[21:33] Clayman
    Thank you.
[21:35] Clayman
    I would gladly return
    your heart to you now...
[21:43] Clayman
    but if you would do just
    one more little job for me,
[21:46] Clayman
    it would be a tremendous help.
[21:49] Mjurran
    What would you like me to do, Lord Clayman?
[21:53] Clayman
    Oh, it's a simple thing, really.
[21:56] Clayman
    Very, very simple.
[21:59] Clayman
    Understand,
[22:00] Clayman
    Mjurran?
[23:36] Great Sage
    Next time, "Paradise, Once More."
