[00:05] Rimuru
    With my excursion to Dwargon over,
[00:07] Rimuru
    I returned to Engrassia.
[00:10] Rimuru
    I will now announce the
    results of your final exams.
[00:20] Alice
    Huh?!
[00:21] Chloe
    You mean...
[00:22] Kenya
    Th-That bad?
[00:24] Rimuru
    I'm sorry, but all of you...
[00:28] Rimuru
    ...passed!
[00:32] Kenya
    Man, don't scare us like that!
[00:34] Rimuru
    I figured we all need a
    surprise now and then.
[00:37] Kenya
    Whew, thank goodness.
[00:38] Alice
    I-I wasn't worried about a thing.
[00:42] Gail
    So we're all advancing to the next grade.
[00:44] Ryota
    We'll all be together again.
[00:46] Chloe
    Yeah! I'm so glad!
[00:48] Rimuru
    You all did great.
[00:50] Rimuru
    And this also concludes
    my job as your teacher.
[00:54] Rimuru
    Once this term ends,
    Tiss-sensei will take over for me,
[00:58] Rimuru
    and I'll return home to Tempest.
[01:01] Chloe
    Sensei...
[01:02] Rimuru
    Now, don't look so sad.
[01:04] Rimuru
    I'm still here for a few more days,
[01:06] Rimuru
    so send me off with smiles!
[01:08] Rimuru
    Even after I go home,
[01:09] Rimuru
    Alice, Chloe, Ryota, Kenya, and Gail,
[01:14] Rimuru
    you'll all still be my precious students.
[01:17] Chloe
    Okay.
[01:18] Kenya
    Sensei...
[01:20] Alice
    Just don't forget to keep
    your promise, all right?!
[01:23] Rimuru
    Promise?
[01:25] Kenya
    Yes!
[01:25] Kenya
    You said if we kept our grades up,
    you'd show us the rest of that manga!
[01:30] Rimuru
    Yeah, I know, I know.
[01:32] Rimuru
    I'll have every last volume 
    of Parasyte ready for you.
[01:35] Kenya
    Sweet!
[01:40] Rimuru
    Tiss-sensei, they're all advancing,
    thanks to your help.
[01:44] Tiss
    It wasn't me. They all worked very hard.
[01:48] Rimuru
    I know I can trust you to look out
    for them from the next term on.
[01:51] Rimuru
    Take good care of them for me.
[01:54] Tiss
    Sure!
[02:03] Youm
    Okay, Mjurran, we're here.
[02:08] Youm
    That's the nation of monsters,
[02:10] Youm
    the Jura Tempest Federation.
SIGN    That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime
SIGN    Episode 28: The Scheming Kingdom of Falmuth
[03:50] Youm
    This is our new ally, Mjurran. She's a wizard.
[03:54] Shuna
    Hello. It's a pleasure to meet you.
[03:57] Mjurran
    Likewise.
[03:58] Shion
    Please, make yourself at home.
[04:01] Youm
    Mjurran's going to be our consultant and
    military advisor to help us fight against magic.
[04:06] Shuna
    Oh, you must be very strong!
[04:09] Mjurran
    I wouldn't go that far...
[04:23] Mjurran
    Is there a festival?
[04:24] Shuna
    No, Great Rimuru will be making
    his official return soon.
[04:29] Shuna
    We're preparing to celebrate that.
[04:32] Shion
    Well, we still have things we need to do.
[04:36] Shuna
    Pardon us.
[04:38] Shuna
    Oh, and feel free to visit
    the hot spring later.
[04:41] Myulen
    Hot spring?
[04:42] Shuna
    You'll feel much better after a good sweat!
[04:46] Mjurran
    Thank you...
[04:55] Mjurran
    So those are Kijin...
[04:56] Mjurran
    Each one of them is tremendously strong.
[05:00] Youm
    Well, Mjurran, let me
    show you around Tempest.
[05:10] Youm
    This is the blacksmith's shop.
[05:12] Youm
    Those two make the best armor
    and weapons you'll ever see.
[05:20] Youm
    This is the reception hall.
[05:21] Youm
    Pretty fancy, right?
[05:24] Mjurran
    Yes...
[05:28] Lizard
    Hello!
[05:31] Koby
    Oh, thank you for coming.
[05:33] Lizard
    We brought this week's
    supply of high potions.
[05:40] Koby
    Yes, they're all here.
[05:41] Lizard
    Sign here, please!
[05:44] Koby
    Thank you.
[05:46] Koby
    We may need to increase our
    orders starting next month.
[05:49] Koby
    I'll come by to discuss that soon.
[05:52] Koby
    Please let Gabiru know.
[05:54] Lizard
    Understood!
[05:58] Mjurran
    They produce that many high potions?
[06:02] Mjurran
    Both their military strength
    and their technology
[06:05] Mjurran
    make this place a clear
    threat to other nations.
[06:08] Youm
    Hey, what's up?
[06:11] Mjurran
    Oh, nothing.
[06:13] Youm
    The training ground's up ahead.
[06:27] Mjurran
    He is truly gullible.
[06:30] Mjurran
    I'm only here on Lord Clayman's orders
[06:33] Mjurran
    to investigate this nation of monsters.
[06:36] Mjurran
    I'm only using you, Youm.
[06:41] Mjurran
    What a fool.
[06:42] Mjurran
    He probably doesn't even
    suspect that I'm a majin.
[06:48] Hakuro
    All right, break time.
[06:58] Gobta
    Ow...
[07:00] Gobta
    The old man really wasn't
    pulling any punches today...
[07:04] Gobzo
    I'm pulverized.
[07:06] Grucius
    G-Gobta, is that Ogre—
[07:09] Grucius
    I mean, is Sir Hakuro always like that?
[07:14] Gobta
    He sure is.
[07:16] Gobzo
    I'm pulverized.
[07:17] Gobta
    Dang... This is no joke!
[07:21] Gobta
    Come on, you guys. On your feet.
[07:25] Grucius
    It's like this... every time?
[07:28] Grucius
    It's almost even more amazing
    that you guys are still alive.
[07:34] Grucius
    I wish we could recruit you
    into the Animal Kingdom.
[07:37] Youm
    Hey, Grucius.
[07:39] Grucius
    Oh, it's you, Youm.
[07:43] Youm
    Damn, you're a mess.
[07:45] Grucius
    Shut up!
[07:47] Grucius
    Who's she?
[07:48] Youm
    Oh, this is Mjurran, our most skilled member.
[07:52] Youm
    Even you wouldn't stand a chance against her.
[07:54] Grucius
    Your most skilled?
[07:55] Grucius
    So, Youm, you're telling me this
    scrawny little girl beat you?
[08:00] Youm
    You'll just have to fight
    her yourself and see.
[08:02] Youm
    If you manage to beat her,
    I'll call you "Boss" from now on.
[08:06] Grucius
    Fine! And if the girl defeats me,
[08:09] Grucius
    I'll become your underling!
[08:13] Grucius
    Unlike Youm, I won't go easy
    on you because you're a girl.
[08:18] Grucius
    Here I come!
[08:26] Youm
    This is fun, Mjurran.
    We should call more people over.
[08:28] Grucius
    And you call yourself a champion?!
    C'mon, help me!
[08:33] Grucius
    Hey, you.
[08:34] Grucius
    You win.
[08:36] Mjurran
    You admit it?
[08:38] Grucius
    Like I have much choice right now.
[08:40] Grucius
    You're pretty strong. I'm impressed.
[08:42] Youm
    Right?
[08:44] Youm
    So, Grucius, about what you promised...
[08:47] Grucius
    Yeah, sure. You can be the boss.
[08:50] Youm
    Uh, I was just kidding about that...
[08:52] Grucius
    A promise is a promise.
[08:54] Grucius
    I'm gonna be honest, though.
[08:57] Grucius
    If Lord Carrion ordered me to kill you,
[09:01] Grucius
    I wouldn't hesitate to do so.
[09:03] Grucius
    Sorry, but that's an unyielding rule of mine.
[09:08] Youm
    Got it. I'll remember that.
[09:15] Grucius
    And I'll join your party.
[09:18] Grucius
    I want to see some other nations, anyway.
[09:20] Youm
    That's fine with me... but are you sure?
[09:23] Grucius
    It's my mission to broaden my horizons,
[09:26] Grucius
    so I'll just do what I feel like.
[09:28] Gobta
    That fight was truly incredible.
[09:31] Grucius
    Gobta?
[09:32] Gobta
    I'm convinced now.
[09:34] Gobta
    With the lady's magic,
[09:36] Gobta
    we could beat the old man!
[09:38] Grucius
    Whoa, whoa! Are you talking
    about Sir Hakuro?
[09:41] Youm
    You got a plan or something?
[09:43] Gobta
    Shh! Not so loud!
[09:45] Gobta
    Now, listen. First,
    we'll use Mjurran's magic to...
[09:49] Mjurran
    What in the world am I doing?
[09:53] Hakuro
    Oh? A mock battle, eh?
[09:56] Gobta
    Today is the day we'll
    make you cry out in pain!
[09:59] Gobta
    I hope you're ready, old ma—er, Master!
[10:02] Youm
    Least provocative provocation ever.
[10:05] Hakuro
    I commend your spirit.
[10:06] Hakuro
    It's about time I gave you
    some real-life practice again.
[10:10] Gobta
    Our pre-set magic circle is already in place.
[10:13] Gobta
    If we can just lead him to it...
[10:16] Hakuro
    Well, shall we begin?
[10:20] Gobta
    I figured he'd come straight for me!
[10:23] Mjurran
    Liquefaction.
[10:27] Youm
    We got him! Now we all strike at—
[10:31] Gobta
    Huh?!
[10:31] Gobta
    Where'd the old man go?
[10:35] Hakuro
    "Old man," you say?!
[10:38] Gobta
    W-W-W-W-Wai—
[10:40] Gobta
    Owie!
[10:42] Grucius
    You're kidding!
[10:43] Youm
    How is he even able to move?!
[10:45] Hakuro
    Flash Step. I taught you this, did I not?
[10:59] Hakuro
    Now, let's have you explain yourselves.
[11:02] Hakuro
    What possessed you to attempt to trap me?
[11:09] Mjurran
    Um...
[11:10] Hakuro
    Oh, you needn't say a thing, young lady.
[11:13] Hakuro
    I know you were merely dragged
    into it by these idiots.
[11:17] Mjurran
    Right...
[11:18] Hakuro
    In case you boys need reminding,
[11:21] Hakuro
    don't even think about trying to test
    Great Rimuru, even accidentally.
[11:25] Gobta
    You think we need reminding?
    We know we're no match for Great Rimuru.
[11:30] Hakuro
    Aren't you? I get the feeling he
    would be quite easily deceived.
[11:36] Mjollmile
    What was that? Got a cold?
[11:38] Rimuru
    Nah, someone's probably talking about me.
[11:41] Mjollmile
    Well, you're popular enough.
[11:44] Mjollmile
    Care for another round?
[11:45] Rimuru
    Sure, I'll take you up on that.
[11:52] Youm
    Ah... I'm alive again.
[11:54] Gobta
    I don't think that old man would
    die, even if we killed him.
[11:57] Grucius
    Gobta, maybe you should just give up on
    trying to catch Sir Hakuro off-guard.
[12:03] Gobta
    I'll get him back one day!
[12:06] Grucius
    Your determination is impressive.
[12:08] Gobta
    Anyway, that magic lady sure is amazing!
[12:13] Youm
    Right? She's pretty hot, too.
[12:15] Grucius
    No argument here.
[12:17] Grucius
    Wonder if she'd have my kid...
[12:18] Youm
    Whoa, hold up! That ain't gonna happen!
[12:21] Youm
    She works for me, y'know!
[12:23] Grucius
    All's fair in love.
    To the swift go the spoils.
[12:26] Gobta
    To the swift go the spoils?! Got it!
[12:28] Youm
    Hey! Not you, too!
[12:34] Shuna
    Those boys are unbelievable.
[12:37] Shion
    Worry not, Princess Shuna!
[12:38] Shion
    I'll give them an attitude adjustment
    by beating them until they cry!
[12:42] Mjurran
    I'll help you with that.
[13:00] Alice
    Hey! Read faster!
[13:02] Kenya
    Hang on. I just got to the good part.
[13:04] Ryota
    I never saw this coming...
[13:06] Gail
    I'm really surprised.
[13:13] Rimuru
    So how's business going?
[13:15] Mjollmile
    Thanks to you, our top-quality high
    potion's attracted tons of buyers.
[13:19] Mjollmile
    We've made sure to spread the
    word in the Western Nations,
[13:22] Mjollmile
    so we should be getting a
    lot more orders from now on.
[13:25] Rimuru
    And you'll make a fortune, eh?
[13:28] Mjollmile
    Naturally. That's what my
    job's about, after all.
[13:32] Mjollmile
    Oh, but don't worry!
[13:34] Mjollmile
    I'll pay Tempest its fair share, that I will!
[13:38] Rimuru
    I wasn't worried about that.
[13:41] Mjollmile
    I'll be paying for today, too, of course!
[13:44] Mjollmile
    To thank you for the business, and to
    give you a little goodbye party, y'know?
[13:48] Rimuru
    I'll gladly take you up on that.
[13:52] Mjollmile
    Baron Veryard was grateful to you, too.
[13:55] Mjollmile
    Once those high potions are on the market,
[13:57] Mjollmile
    the Kingdom of Blumund also
    stands to profit, after all.
[14:00] Rimuru
    Veryard, huh?
[14:06] Rimuru
    It's great that Tempest and the Kingdom
    of Blumund forged a security pact, but...
[14:13] Rimuru
    They really got me.
[14:15] Rimuru
    If some other country invades
    Blumund through the forest,
[14:19] Rimuru
    Tempest would have to serve as a breakwater.
[14:22] Mjollmile
    That's politics for ya.
[14:25] Mjollmile
    But if Tempest were to be
    invaded by some other country,
[14:29] Mjollmile
    Blumund would likely fight by your side.
[14:32] Mjollmile
    It's a give-and-take thing.
[14:34] Rimuru
    But Tempest wouldn't be invaded...
[14:37] Mjollmile
    Hey, you never know what might happen.
[14:41] Mjollmile
    I suspect Tempest is on its way
    to becoming a major trade center.
[14:47] Rimuru
    Dorf-san said something like that, too.
[14:49] Mjollmile
    And if that happens,
[14:51] Mjollmile
    some countries might see
    Tempest as a nuisance.
[14:54] Mjollmile
    Such as... the Kingdom
    of Falmuth, for example.
[15:01] Mjollmile
    Well, no reason to expect anything
    to happen right away, y'know?
[15:05] Mjollmile
    Just saying it never hurts
    to stay on your guard!
[15:09] Rimuru
    Yeah, you're right.
[15:12] Rimuru
    The Kingdom of Falmuth...
[15:14] Rimuru
    King Gazel did say he didn't like their king.
[15:19] Rimuru
    Said he was too greedy or something...
[15:26] Edmaris
    Youm the champion, you say?
[15:29] Razen
    Yes. There is a rumor that his party
[15:31] Razen
    defeated the Orc Lord and his forces.
[15:36] Razen
    Though it is ridiculous to
    even call him a champion.
[15:39] Folgen
    The Freedom Union did report
    that the Orc Lord had appeared.
[15:44] Edmaris
    Which means it can't all
    be completely untrue...
[15:48] Razen
    And as for Youm the champion...
[15:51] Razen
    It seems he has taken
    up residence in Tempest.
[15:55] Edmaris
    Tempest... The nation of monsters?
[15:59] Razen
    Yes, since it was founded,
[16:02] Razen
    the flow of merchants into the
    Kingdom of Falmuth has declined,
[16:05] Razen
    and its financial situation has
    taken a turn for the worse.
[16:08] Razen
    This is because they can safely travel
    to Dwargon without passing through here.
[16:14] Razen
    This is a matter of life and
    death for the Kingdom of Falmuth.
[16:18] Razen
    If this nation of monsters goes unchecked,
[16:21] Razen
    they will become well-known in
    the Western Nations as well,
[16:24] Razen
    and any action against them
    will become infeasible.
[16:26] Razen
    The time to strike is now.
[16:28] Folgen
    But evolved monsters will be a problem.
[16:32] Folgen
    With their human forms comes intelligence,
[16:34] Folgen
    which will make them quite formidable foes.
[16:36] Edmaris
    Hmm... How many men do we have
    that could mobilize immediately?
[16:41] Folgen
    Roughly 17,000.
[16:43] Edmaris
    Not enough.
[16:47] Reyhiem
    Worry not, my king.
[16:51] Edmaris
    Archbishop Reyhiem.
[16:53] Edmaris
    Does the Western Holy Church
    have a plan of some sort?
[16:57] Reyhiem
    Yes, yes.
[16:59] Reyhiem
    The Western Holy Church's headquarters
    plans to subjugate the nation of monsters
[17:03] Reyhiem
    as an enemy nation in
    clear opposition to God.
[17:08] Edmaris
    What's this?
[17:10] Edmaris
    The church has recognized that
    nation as an enemy to our God?!
[17:17] Reyhiem
    However, no harm has been done yet.
[17:21] Reyhiem
    So if we could request help from some
    other country to subjugate them...
[17:27] Edmaris
    A country to help you, eh?
[17:33] Edmaris
    Speaking strictly hypothetically...
[17:36] Edmaris
    If a citizen of our nation
    were to be harmed by Tempest,
[17:40] Edmaris
    what do you suppose would happen?
[17:42] Reyhiem
    Yes, yes.
[17:44] Reyhiem
    Were that to happen, the Western Holy Church
[17:46] Reyhiem
    would assume the responsibility of sending
    the Temple Knights to rescue the believers.
[17:51] Folgen
    That's very reassuring.
[17:53] Folgen
    Then we could boldly set out
    to subjugate the monsters.
[17:58] Edmaris
    Good.
[18:00] Edmaris
    This battle shall be a holy war!
[18:02] Edmaris
    Start by sending an advance
    party to start a commotion!
[18:06] Razen
    My king, to give them a show of our power,
[18:10] Razen
    I believe we should send those Otherworlders.
[18:14] Edmaris
    I see...
[18:15] Edmaris
    Those monstrosities could indeed be useful.
[18:19] Edmaris
    But we must not let our guard down.
[18:22] Razen
    Out of utmost caution,
[18:23] Razen
    we shall order them to return
    after only a brief rampage.
[18:27] Reyhiem
    My king, if it pleases you,
    may I test my secret art?
[18:33] Edmaris
    Secret art?
[18:35] Reyhiem
    Pardon me.
[18:51] Edmaris
    That does sound interesting!
[18:53] Edmaris
    Very well. I will allow it, Reyhiem.
[18:56] Reyhiem
    Thank you so much.
[18:58] Reyhiem
    I promise that I will use
    it for Your Majesty's glory.
[19:12] Shogo
    A nation ruled by a slime?
[19:15] Shogo
    Are you mocking me?!
[19:17] Razen
    Shogo, calm down.
[19:19] Razen
    Let me finish speaking.
[19:21] Shogo
    Slimes are weak monsters!
[19:23] Shogo
    How could one become the
    ruler of the forest?!
[19:25] Kyoya
    Shogo-san doesn't mean any harm.
[19:28] Kyoya
    In our world, slimes are famous
    for being weak monsters.
[19:33] Razen
    Regardless, I would like
    you three to go to Tempest
[19:36] Razen
    along with 100 knights as an advance party.
[19:40] Razen
    Understood?
[19:47] Kirara
    Wow, it's been ages since we went on a trip!
[19:50] Shogo
    Don't make me laugh.
[19:51] Shogo
    They're seriously mobilizing
    the army for a slime?
[19:54] Kyoya
    Well, when that slime controls
    forces in the tens of thousands,
[19:57] Kyoya
    I'd say it's perfectly normal
    to see it as a threat.
[20:00] Shogo
    I dunno about that.
[20:02] Shogo
    Humans in this world are
    ridiculously weak, you know.
[20:07] Kirara
    More like you're just too strong, Shogo.
[20:09] Kirara
    The unique skills meant for combat
    are just so random, aren't they...
[20:13] Kirara
    Berserker?
[20:15] Kyoya
    Nah, if you ask me,
    yours are a lot scarier, Kirara.
[20:19] Shogo
    For real. Even I think yours are worse.
[20:25] Shogo
    Damn that stupid old bastard, though!
[20:28] Shogo
    He thinks he can just order us around?!
[20:30] Kirara
    I know, he's seriously annoying.
[20:32] Kirara
    I swear I'm gonna kill him someday.
[20:34] Kyoya
    Come on, don't say that.
[20:37] Kyoya
    At least if we do as he says,
[20:39] Kyoya
    he gives us the best food, clothes,
    and housing this world has to offer.
[20:43] Shogo
    What? Shouldn't that be a given, though?
[20:45] Shogo
    The "best this world has to offer"
[20:48] Shogo
    is still garbage compared
    to what's in our world!
[20:50] Kirara
    You got that right.
[20:52] Kirara
    There are no stylish shops or cosmetics here.
[20:54] Kirara
    They don't have TV, the Internet,
    or even smartphones!
[20:57] Kirara
    A world as dull and boring as
    this might as well just collapse!
[21:07] Kyoya
    Shogo and Kirara don't seem happy about it,
[21:09] Kyoya
    but I see this as an opportunity.
[21:12] Kyoya
    If war breaks out, we can
    kill the guys who control us
[21:17] Kyoya
    and get a chance at our own freedom.
[21:38] Rimuru
    At the time, I still didn't have any idea
[21:41] Rimuru
    that a crisis was about to befall Tempest.
[23:36] Great Sage
    Next time, "Prelude to the Disaster."
