[00:02] Hinata
    Die now!
[00:03] Hinata
    Dead End Rainbow!
[00:05] Rimuru
    Awaken, Gluttony!
[00:08] Great Sage
    Complete. Order accepted.
[00:11] Great Sage
    Executing immediately.
SIGN    That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime
SIGN    Episode 31: Despair
[01:54] Hinata
    I don't believe it...
[02:01] Hinata
    I see.
[02:02] Hinata
    This is a form specialized for combat,
    incorporating the traits
[02:05] Hinata
    of various objects and monsters.
[02:09] Hinata
    So that's it.
[02:23] Hinata
    And on top of that,
    if Dead End Rainbow didn't kill you...
[02:27] Hinata
    That means you don't have a soul.
[02:31] Hinata
    Then...
[02:34] Hinata
    Astral Bind!
[02:55] Hinata
    That's not enough to stop you?
[02:59] Hinata
    Spirit summoning!
[03:10] Hinata
    I lift this prayer up to God.
[03:13] Hinata
    I desire the power of the spirits.
[03:23] Hinata
    I beg thee, heed my wish.
[03:34] Hinata
    Put an end to all!
[03:36] Hinata
    Disintegration!
[04:09] Hinata
    I have avenged you, Shizu-sensei.
[04:32] Rimuru
    I thought I was a goner!
[04:39] Ranga
    At long last, I made it out!
[04:41] Ranga
    Are you all right, Master?!
[04:43] Ranga
    Master!
[04:45] Rimuru
    I'm fine! I'm fine, really!
[04:45] Ranga
    Master!
[04:49] Rimuru
    I really thought I was
    in trouble that time...
[04:57] Rimuru
    This isn't working.
[04:58] Rimuru
    She's too strong!
[05:00] (Flashback) Hinata
    I think we're done.
[05:02] (Flashback) Hinata
    It's impressive that you can move
    so well inside this barrier.
[05:05] (Flashback) Hinata
    Frankly, I had sold you short.
[05:07] (Flashback) Hinata
    But you can't defeat me.
[05:10] (Flashback) Rimuru
    Because you can kill me with one more strike?
[05:14] (Flashback) Rimuru
    I wasn't expecting a fight that I
    had so little chance of winning.
[05:18] (Flashback) Rimuru
    But I'll keep fighting in
    vain for as long as I can.
[05:21] (Flashback) Rimuru
    I'm not so soft that I'd roll
    over and die just like that!
[05:26] Great Sage
    Notice.
[05:26] Great Sage
    Used unique skill "Degenerate"
[05:29] Great Sage
    to isolate the superior spirit
    Ifrit as a pure spirit.
[05:33] (Flashback) Rimuru
    All right!
[05:34] (Flashback) Rimuru
    Defeat my enemy,
[05:36] (Flashback) Rimuru
    superior spirit of fire, Ifrit!
[05:52] Rimuru
    ...so I quickly made a doppelganger
    of myself and ran away.
[05:57] Rimuru
    Running was definitely the right move.
[05:59] Rimuru
    That Hinata chick, though...
[06:00] Rimuru
    Her strength is just unreal!
[06:03] Rimuru
    Even without the barrier,
    I still might've lost.
[06:06] Rimuru
    That "Disintegration" thing...
[06:17] Rimuru
    There's just no avoiding that at all.
[06:19] Rimuru
    I wonder if Milim could survive it.
[06:21] Rimuru
    I should ask her sometime.
[06:23] Rimuru
    But seriously, damn that Hinata!
[06:25] Rimuru
    She wouldn't even listen to me!
    She just had to start a fight!
[06:29] Ranga
    I don't know what happened, but I think
    it's fair to say you won, Master!
[06:33] Rimuru
    Right?! You think so, don't you, Ranga?!
[06:35] Rimuru
    I mean, if Hinata really insists,
    I'm willing to call it a draw...
[06:39] Ranga
    I don't know what happened, but I think it's
    fair to say you won overwhelmingly, Master!
[06:44] Rimuru
    Y-Yeah...
[06:45] Rimuru
    Anyway, we gotta hurry home!
[06:47] Rimuru
    I'm worried about everyone!
[06:50] Rimuru
    To Tempest!
[06:51] Ranga
    Yes, Master!
[06:57] Rimuru
    What is it?
[06:58] Great Sage
    Notice.
[06:59] Great Sage
    Specified destination not found.
[07:01] Rimuru
    Huh?!
[07:02] Great Sage
    It appears Tempest has been isolated from
    the rest of the world by some sort of barrier.
[07:07] Rimuru
    This really doesn't sound good.
[07:09] Rimuru
    Is there anyplace near
    Tempest that we can jump to?
[07:12] Great Sage
    Searching.
[07:14] Great Sage
    I have a hit.
[07:15] Rimuru
    Great! Off we go!
[07:19] Gabiru
    I shall break through it with my attack!
[07:22] Soei
    No, I'll go one more time.
[07:24] Gabiru
    But...
[07:27] Gabiru
    Oh! Great Rimuru!
[07:32] Soei
    Great Rimuru, I am glad to see you are safe.
[07:35] Rimuru
    Yeah... Wait!
[07:36] Rimuru
    What about you, Soei?!
    You look a lot worse off than me!
[07:39] Soei
    This is nothing of consequence.
[07:45] Vesta
    Ah, you're here, Great Rimuru!
[07:49] Vesta
    Here, drink this.
[07:52] Rimuru
    What's going on in Tempest?
[07:54] Vesta
    We aren't sure.
[07:57] Gabiru
    I can't get in touch with my men
    who headed to town! I'm so worried!
[08:05] Vesta
    It appears to be enclosed within a barrier.
[08:07] Rimuru
    So it's true.
[08:09] Soka
    Master Soei tried to break through the
    barrier around Tempest and enter the city.
[08:14] Soka
    That's when he got hurt.
[08:15] Soei
    Quiet, Soka.
[08:16] Soei
    Don't worry about me.
[08:18] Soka
    Of course.
[08:19] Rimuru
    If even Soei couldn't break through it,
[08:22] Rimuru
    this barrier must be pretty tough.
[08:24] Rimuru
    Who put it there?
[08:25] Soei
    I believe...
[08:26] Soei
    it was the human nation,
    the Kingdom of Falmuth.
[08:32] Soei
    I have confirmed that they have
    initiated military action.
[08:36] Soei
    A large army is headed toward Tempest.
[08:39] Rimuru
    We gotta hurry to the city!
[08:46] Gabiru
    That's the barrier?!
[08:53] Rimuru
    Great Sage, analyze it.
[08:58] Great Sage
    Answer.
SIGN    Answer
[08:58] Great Sage
    Confirmed great magic originating
    inside the barrier, Anti-Magic Area,
[09:03] Great Sage
    as well as reduced magicule density
    caused by the barrier cast from outside.
SIGN    Magicule Density Reduction Confirmed
[09:07] Rimuru
    Reduced magicule density?
[09:09] Rimuru
    Is it the same as Hinata's Holy Field?
[09:11] Great Sage
    Negative.
SIGN    Negative
[09:12] Great Sage
    The principle is the same,
[09:14] Great Sage
    but its purification ability is weaker,
    making it an inferior version.
SIGN    Inferior
    
    
    
    Version
SIGN    Multilayer Barrier
    
    
    Barrier's effects can be nullified
[09:17] Great Sage
    It can be resisted with Multilayer Barrier.
[09:19] Rimuru
    Great magic from inside and
    holy magic from outside...
[09:23] Rimuru
    So it's a two-layered barrier.
[09:25] Rimuru
    Who could have done this? And why?
[09:28] Rimuru
    Soei, I'll get whoever's
    using the great magic.
[09:31] Rimuru
    You guys find the one who's
    erecting this barrier.
[09:34] Soei
    Understood.
[09:35] Soka
    Yes.
[09:36] Rimuru
    But don't engage in any fighting.
[09:38] Rimuru
    Just find out their identity
    and how strong they are.
[09:41] Soei
    And how shall I contact you?
[09:45] Rimuru
    Hmm...
[09:48] Rimuru
    With this, we should be able to use Thought
    Communication, even through a barrier.
[09:52] Soei
    I see...
[09:55] Rimuru
    Okay, go!
[09:56] Soei
    Right!
[09:57] Rimuru
    Ranga, stay in my shadow.
[09:59] Ranga
    Yes, Master!
[10:00] Rimuru
    Gabiru, you wait here.
[10:02] Gabiru
    Be careful!
[10:03] Rimuru
    Yeah.
[10:21] Rimuru
    They've thinned out, but there
    are still magicules around.
[10:31] Rimuru
    This is terrible.
[10:39] Woman
    The children we had with us
    are all safe, thanks to you.
[10:42] Guy
    Thank you for protecting them.
[10:45] Guy
    Thank you so much.
[10:46] Lizard
    No need for thanks. Sir Gabiru
    would have done the same thing.
[10:51] Lizard
    We only did what needed to be done.
[10:53] Lizard
    I hope Sir Gabiru is okay...
[10:58] Guy
    Look!
[10:59] Guy
    It's Great Rimuru!
[11:01] Woman
    Great Rimuru! You're back!
[11:05] Rigurd
    Great Rimuru!
[11:09] Rigurd
    I am so glad you've returned!
[11:11] Rigurd
    Thank goodness you're safe!
[11:12] Rimuru
    Sorry I'm late.
[11:14] Rigurd
    You need not be sorry at all!
[11:16] Rimuru
    What happened?
[11:17] Rigurd
    Well...
[11:18] Kaijin
    Oh, thank goodness you're all right!
[11:21] Rimuru
    Kaijin...
[11:27] Rigurd
    Great Rimuru! I must inform you of
    our situation and seek your counsel!
[11:30] Rigurd
    Please accompany me to the
    emergency headquarters!
[11:34] Rimuru
    Kaijin, who are they?
[11:36] Kaijin
    Oh, uh...
[11:37] Rigurd
    A very small problem has
    occurred! That's all!
[11:40] Rimuru
    Don't lie to me.
    What's going on at the plaza?
[11:56] Rimuru
    Was that...
[11:57] Rimuru
    Benimaru?!
[12:26] Benimaru
    You're protecting that woman, too?
[12:28] Benimaru
    Sorry, but I don't have time
    to be lenient right now.
[12:31] Benimaru
    Step aside at once!
[12:33] Grucius
    Can't do that. You've already lost your cool.
[12:36] Grucius
    I can't let you have her now.
[12:39] Benimaru
    Oh? I've lost my cool?
[12:43] Benimaru
    If that were the case, I would have
    burned all of you to cinders by now.
[12:47] Benimaru
    Just shut up and—
[12:48] Grucius
    Sorry, but no matter what happens,
    I'm gonna protect her!
[12:52] Benimaru
    I told you to shut up!
[13:02] Grucius
    But... I... still...
[13:07] Benimaru
    Stop resisting! Or I'll—
[13:09] Rimuru
    Stop, Benimaru!
[13:13] Benimaru
    Great Rimuru!
[13:17] Rimuru
    Tell me what's going on.
[13:20] Benimaru
    It's this barrier.
[13:22] Benimaru
    It blocks the use of magic, and it
    has reduced our powers, as well.
[13:26] Benimaru
    This has produced victims within the city—
[13:29] Rigurd
    B-Benimaru!
[13:34] Benimaru
    We will discuss that later.
[13:38] Benimaru
    That is when we realized that
    the reason we are weakened
[13:41] Benimaru
    lies in the magic that woman used.
[13:46] Geld
    When we located the caster
    and tried to capture her,
[13:49] Geld
    Youm interfered, so we were
    forced to engage in combat.
[13:54] Rimuru
    Hmm...
[13:55] Youm
    Master Rimuru!
[13:57] Youm
    I'm sorry!
[13:59] Youm
    I never had any intention of betraying you.
[14:02] Youm
    I just... want to save Mjurran here.
[14:06] Rimuru
    Mjurran?
[14:07] Mjurran
    It's all right. Just abandon me.
[14:11] Youm
    Don't talk like that.
[14:14] Mjurran
    There's no reason for you
    to be dragged into this.
[14:17] Youm
    I said don't talk like that!
[14:20] Grucius
    Great Rimuru...
[14:22] Grucius
    I'm well aware that, as a visitor,
    I'm in no position to interfere.
[14:27] Grucius
    But even so... would you please
    hear what I have to say?
[14:32] Rimuru
    All right.
[14:36] Mjurran
    No, Youm, Grucius.
[14:39] Mjurran
    I have no right to ask you two to defend me.
[14:42] Both
    Mjurran!
[14:44] Mjurran
    How many in this city have
    been sacrificed because of me?
[14:48] Mjurran
    I'm the one who caused that horrific scene.
[14:52] Rimuru
    Horrific?
[14:58] Rimuru
    What do you mean by that?
[15:08] Mjurran
    You'll understand when you see it.
[16:06] Rimuru
    What is all this?
[16:08] Rimuru
    What... happened here?
[16:12] Rimuru
    Are they all...
[16:14] Rimuru
    dead?
[16:18] Regurd
    The humans were merciless...
[16:22] Rimuru
    Humans?
[16:27] Regurd
    We did just as you ordered, Great Rimuru,
[16:30] Regurd
    and welcomed the humans.
[16:32] Regurd
    The result of that...
[16:34] Rigurd
    Quiet.
[16:37] Rigurd
    Be quiet.
[16:40] Regurd
    P-Please forgive me.
[16:45] Rimuru
    What I said...
[16:47] Rimuru
    My own words...
[16:50] (Flashback) Rimuru
    There are three rules.
[16:54] (Flashback) Rimuru
    First, no attacking humans.
[16:57] (Flashback) Rimuru
    Second, no fighting amongst yourselves.
[17:00] (Flashback) Rimuru
    Third, no belittling other races.
[17:03] (Flashback) Rimuru
    That's it.
[17:07] Rimuru
    Because they... followed my orders?
[17:11] Mjurran
    If I hadn't used that great magic,
[17:13] Mjurran
    this wouldn't have happened.
[17:21] Rimuru
    This woman...
[17:25] Great Sage
    Notice.
[17:26] Great Sage
    The great magic Anti-Magic Field alone
    could not cause this degree of weakening.
[17:31] Great Sage
    The more likely cause
[17:32] Great Sage
    are the humans that you instructed
    the one named Soei to investigate.
[17:40] Rimuru
    That's right. I need to calm down.
[17:43] Rimuru
    Is this Mjurran woman trying to anger
    me so I'll kill her and no one else?
[17:49] Rimuru
    To protect Youm and Grucius?
[17:56] Rimuru
    Mjurran, was it? I want to hear more.
[17:59] Rimuru
    Come with me to the meeting room.
[18:01] Mjollmile
    Great Rimuru.
[18:02] Mjollmile
    Would you mind if I participated
    in that meeting, as well?
[18:06] Mjollmile
    Perhaps I can offer an
    outsider's perspective.
[18:10] Rimuru
    You're...
[18:12] Rimuru
    You were here?
[18:14] Rimuru
    Sure. I'd appreciate that, Mjöllmile.
[18:20] Rimuru
    I received a report on what
    had transpired in Tempest.
[18:33] Rimuru
    Mysterious attackers...
[18:35] Rimuru
    And knights from Falmuth...
[18:39] Benimaru
    If this hadn't weakened us,
    Hakuro wouldn't have lost.
[18:43] Rimuru
    Lost? Hakuro lost?!
[18:46] Rigurd
    He was severely wounded, but he will recover.
[18:49] Rigurd
    Lady Shuna is treating both him and Gobta,
    who was wounded just as severely.
[18:54] Rimuru
    I see...
[18:55] Rigurd
    As the knights from Falmuth were leaving...
[19:03] (Flashback) Folgen
    This city has been contaminated by monsters!
[19:06] (Flashback) Folgen
    As the protectors of humanity,
[19:09] (Flashback) Folgen
    we must never recognize a nation of monsters!
[19:11] (Flashback) Folgen
    Therefore, we will consult
    with the Western Holy Church
[19:14] (Flashback) Folgen
    regarding what must be
    done about this nation!
[19:17] (Flashback) Folgen
    We will return one week from today,
[19:20] (Flashback) Folgen
    under the command of the great and
    renowned King Edmaris himself!
[19:25] (Flashback) Folgen
    It would behoove you to surrender
    and swear allegiance to him!
[19:27] (Flashback) Folgen
    If you refuse...
[19:29] (Flashback) Folgen
    I shall eradicate every last
    one of you in the name of God!
[19:35] Rimuru
    What a farce.
[19:37] Rigurd
    Yes, it is precisely that.
[19:40] (Flashback) Hinata
    You see, your city stands in my way.
[19:44] (Flashback) Hinata
    So I'm going to destroy it.
[19:46] Rimuru
    The Western Holy Church and the Kingdom of
    Falmuth have been colluding from the start.
[19:50] Rimuru
    I'm betting the Church
    has it in for us because
[19:53] Rimuru
    their doctrine doesn't condone
    the existence of monsters.
[19:57] Rimuru
    But then, what's the Kingdom
    of Falmuth's reason?
[19:59] Mjollmile
    Great Rimuru, may I?
[20:04] Mjollmile
    As we speak, a new trade route is coming
    into existence with Tempest at its center,
[20:08] Mjollmile
    which is bringing about
    drastic changes in commerce.
[20:12] Rimuru
    And?
[20:13] Mjollmile
    Trade routes are crucial.
[20:15] Mjollmile
    Simply imposing tariffs creates
    the potential for immense profits.
[20:20] Koby
    The Kingdom of Falmuth profits so much
    from trade that it has been called
[20:24] Koby
    the gateway to the Western Nations.
[20:27] Rimuru
    So a profit for Tempest means a
    loss for the Kingdom of Falmuth?
[20:32] Koby
    Correct.
[20:33] Mjollmile
    A tremendous loss, at that.
[20:35] Rimuru
    Now I get it.
[20:37] Rimuru
    I've been playing with fire,
    and I didn't even realize it.
[20:42] Rimuru
    Mjöllmile-kun.
[20:43] Mjollmile
    Yes, sir?
[20:44] Rimuru
    Can you update the Kingdom of Blumund
    on Tempest's current situation
[20:50] Rimuru
    and the approach of a large army
    from the Kingdom of Falmuth, ASAP?
[20:53] Mjollmile
    Of course.
[20:54] Mjollmile
    I will impress upon them that
    Tempest is in the right.
[20:57] Rimuru
    Thank you.
[20:58] Mjollmile
    I'll start getting ready at once.
[21:02] Rimuru
    Now, as for you, Mjurran-san...
[21:05] Rimuru
    Why don't you tell me in detail
    what led you to mess with us?
[21:13] Youm
    Mjurran...
[21:14] Mjurran
    It's all right. I have nothing to hide.
[21:23] Mjurran
    I am Mjurran.
[21:25] Mjurran
    I serve the Demon Lord Clayman.
[21:27] All
    What?!
[21:30] Rigurd
    A Demon Lord?
[21:41] Rimuru
    I see.
[21:43] Rimuru
    So Clayman is the one pulling the strings.
[23:37] Great Sage
    Next time, "Hope."
SIGN    Hope
