[00:03] Mjurran
    The Demon Lord Clayman lives up
    to his alias, "Marionette Master,"
[00:07] Mjurran
    by controlling his subordinates' actions.
[00:10] Mjurran
    I am one of them.
[00:13] Mjurran
    The task he gave me was to
    investigate Tempest as a spy,
[00:17] Mjurran
    so I used Youm to infiltrate this city.
[00:21] Mjurran
    Then, according to his orders, I used
    the great magic spell Anti-Magic Area.
[00:28] Mjurran
    Clayman took my heart from me with
    his secret art, Marionette Heart.
[00:33] Mjurran
    Ever since then, my only means of
    survival has been to obey him.
[00:39] Rimuru
    I see.
[00:40] Rimuru
    So he literally holds the key that
    determines whether you live or die.
[00:44] Rimuru
    And what made Clayman want to mess with me?
[00:48] Mjurran
    He said this to me:
[00:51] Mjurran
    "Things are about to get interesting.
[00:53] Mjurran
    Though unexpected events led
    to unforeseen developments,
[00:56] Mjurran
    a great war is going to break out."
[01:01] Mjurran
    I thought he was referring to the
    Demon Lords Milim and Carrion, at first,
[01:06] Mjurran
    but what he meant was that he's
    starting a war between Tempest
[01:10] Mjurran
    and the Kingdom of Falmuth.
[01:13] Rimuru
    Clayman...
[01:14] Rimuru
    He controls his pawns as he wishes
    to avoid getting his own hands dirty.
[01:19] Rimuru
    He's gonna be trouble.
[01:21] Rimuru
    She appears to be a wizard.
[01:24] Rimuru
    In the Anti-Magic Area,
    she's just an ordinary human.
[01:28] Rimuru
    Is she a sacrificial pawn?
[01:29] Youm
    Master!
[01:30] Youm
    Please forgive Mjurran!
[01:32] Grucius
    I'm begging you, too!
[01:34] Grucius
    She couldn't defy the Demon
    Lord Clayman, that's all!
[01:42] Rimuru
    I'll put Mjurran's punishment on hold for now.
[01:45] Rimuru
    She'll be confined in the
    reception hall until then.
[01:48] Rigurd
    Understood. I will assign guards.
[01:51] Youm
    Master...
[01:52] Rimuru
    Sorry, Youm. My head's all
    over the place right now, too.
[01:56] Rimuru
    If you're worried,
    you're free to stay with her.
[02:07] Rimuru
    Is that it for your report?
[02:09] Benimaru
    Yes.
[02:10] Rimuru
    Then I'd like to go visit the wounded.
[02:12] Rimuru
    Take me to them.
[02:14] Benimaru
    Of course.

[03:56] Rimuru
    How's he doing?
[03:57] Shuna
    Great Rimuru!
[04:00] Shuna
    The potions aren't working.
[04:02] Shuna
    Since their wounds were caused
    by skills of a spatial nature,
[04:04] Shuna
    my treatments don't work directly on them.
[04:09] Rimuru
    I see...
[04:12] Hakuro
    Great Rimuru... Do not worry.
[04:16] Hakuro
    Neither I nor this fool pupil of mine
[04:18] Hakuro
    are so weak as to die from
    wounds such as these.
[04:23] Rimuru
    Hey, I'm not worried.
[04:25] Rimuru
    Let me take a look at your wound.
[04:29] Rimuru
    Great Sage.
[04:31] Great Sage
    Effect of spatial technique confirmed.
[04:34] Great Sage
    Would you like to Predate
    this effect using Gluttony?
[04:36] Rimuru
    Obviously, yes.
[04:43] Gobta
    H-Huh?
[04:44] Gobta
    I'm saved?!
[04:47] Hakuro
    Great Rimuru has done it again.
[04:49] Shuna
    Thank goodness!
[04:50] Gobta
    Great Rimuru! Welcome back!
[04:52] Rigurd
    T-Take it easy, Gobta!
[04:55] Gobta
    You're okay, too, old man?!
[04:59] Hakuro
    Would you like to go back to sleep?
[05:00] Gobta
    M-Master! I'm so glad you're all right!
[05:07] Rimuru
    By the way, where's Shion?
[05:09] Rimuru
    She didn't go off to get
    revenge by herself, did she?
[05:12] Rimuru
    Knowing her, I wouldn't be surprised...
[05:18] Shuna
    U-Um... Great Rimuru...
[05:33] Rimuru
    Benimaru said only one thing:
[05:35] Rimuru
    "Please follow me."
[05:38] Rimuru
    Then he started walking toward the plaza,
    where the deceased monsters were laid to rest.
[05:56] Gobta
    Gobzo?
[05:57] Gobta
    Gobzo!
[06:16] Benimaru
    Shion tried to protect a child
    our attackers came after.
[06:21] Benimaru
    Weakened by the barrier,
[06:23] Benimaru
    she couldn't move as well as usual...
[06:26] Shuna
    Gobzo was protecting me.
[06:30] Shuna
    The attackers were laughing as they...
[06:43] Rigurd
    Great Rimuru!
[06:50] Rimuru
    Sorry.
[06:52] Rimuru
    I need to be alone for a while.
[06:57] Rigurd
    Very well.
[07:04] Hakuro
    Come, now.
[07:23] Shuna
    Please call me at any time.
[07:25] Shuna
    I will be here at once.
[07:34] Great Sage
    Notice.
[07:35] Great Sage
    A very strong aura exerts
    pressure on a weakened monster.
[07:39] Rimuru
    Yeah.
[07:45] Rimuru
    That's right...
[07:47] Rimuru
    I gave the magic-suppressing mask to Chloe...
[07:50] Rimuru
    Is the Analysis done?
[07:51] Great Sage
    It is complete.
[07:53] Great Sage
    Replicate the item?
[07:54] Rimuru
    Please.
[08:03] Rimuru
    Why did this happen?
[08:05] Great Sage
    Notice. Cannot calculate.
[08:08] Rimuru
    What should I have done?
[08:10] Great Sage
    Notice. Cannot comprehend.
[08:13] Rimuru
    Was it a mistake to get involved with humans?
[08:15] Great Sage
    Notice. Cannot answer.
[08:19] Rimuru
    Tell me... Was I wrong?
[08:22] Great Sage
    Notice. Cannot calculate.
[08:24] Great Sage
    Cannot comprehend. Cannot answer.
[08:29] Rimuru
    All these intense emotions
    are raging in my head,
[08:32] Rimuru
    but at the same time, I'm painfully calm.
[08:35] Rimuru
    I can't even shed a single tear.
[08:39] Rimuru
    Oh, I get it.
[08:42] Rimuru
    I've become a monster at heart, too.
[09:00] Great Sage
    Notice.
[09:01] Great Sage
    Search results unavailable.
[09:03] Great Sage
    Could not locate magic with the
    ability to fully revive the dead.
[09:08] Rimuru
    I see.
[09:12] Rimuru
    What about the barrier?
[09:13] Great Sage
    Notice.
[09:14] Great Sage
    Completed analysis of the two-layer
    barrier surrounding the city.
[09:18] Great Sage
    Removal of a multi-layer
    barrier is difficult,
[09:21] Great Sage
    but the great magic,
    Anti-Magic Area, can be undone.
[09:24] Great Sage
    Undo this magic?
[09:26] Rimuru
    No, not yet.
[09:29] Rimuru
    I wanted to get rid of the multi-layer
    barrier that's weakening everyone,
[09:33] Rimuru
    but I guess it won't go down that easily.
[09:40] Rimuru
    I can't stay here like this forever.
[09:44] Rimuru
    In time, the bodies will decay,
    return to magicules,
[09:47] Rimuru
    and finally disappear.
[09:58] Rimuru
    You can, at least,
    sleep peacefully within me...
[10:06] Eren
    Rimuru!
[10:10] Rimuru
    Thanks for coming.
[10:11] Rimuru
    Give me a moment.
[10:13] Rimuru
    I need to lay them all to rest.
[10:15] Eren
    L-Listen...
[10:18] Eren
    The odds are pretty low... in fact,
    they might be basically zero...
[10:22] Eren
    But there is a fairy tale about
    bringing the dead back to life!
[10:27] Rimuru
    A fairy tale?
[10:29] Rimuru
    What's that supposed to mean?
[10:31] Rimuru
    Why are you telling me this?
[10:33] Rimuru
    Stop it.
[10:35] Rimuru
    You'll get my hopes up.
[10:38] Rimuru
    Are you saying there's still
    something I can do for them?
[10:42] Rimuru
    For them?
[10:45] Rimuru
    No, that's wrong.
[10:48] Rimuru
    I just don't want to lose them.
[10:52] Eren
    You might think it's just a fairy tale,
[10:55] Eren
    but it's based on facts!
[10:59] Eren
    Rimuru?
[11:00] Rimuru
    Sorry about that. I was just so happy.
[11:04] Rimuru
    Reviving the dead, huh?
[11:07] Rimuru
    It sounds like a dream.
[11:11] Rimuru
    As long as the chance
    isn't zero, that's enough.
[11:14] Rimuru
    Tell me more, Eren.
[11:22] Soei
    The Western Holy Church's forces are
    camped around the city on all sides.
[11:26] Soei
    Each camp is protecting what
    appears to be a magic device.
[11:29] Soei
    I believe these devices are the
    source of the weakening barrier.
[11:34] Rimuru
    Can they be disabled?
[11:35] Soei
    One of them, perhaps, if we surprise them.
[11:37] Rimuru
    Okay.
[11:38] Rimuru
    Don't push your luck too far.
[11:40] Rimuru
    Continue to keep an eye on things.
[11:42] Soei
    Understood.
[11:44] Rimuru
    Sorry about that, Eren.
[11:45] Rimuru
    Now, tell me this fairy tale
    about reviving the dead.
[11:49] Eren
    Sure.
[11:57] Eren
    It's okay.
[11:58] Eren
    This is a fairy tale handed down
    in the Sorcerous Dynasty of Thalion...
[12:06] Eren
    The story of a girl and a dragon.
[12:10] Eren
    The girl was the daughter
    of a human and a dragon,
[12:12] Eren
    and she was raised as the Dragon Princess.
[12:16] Eren
    One day, her father, a dragon,
[12:19] Eren
    made a double of himself in
    the form of a baby dragon
[12:22] Eren
    and gave it to her as a companion.
[12:25] Eren
    But then...
[12:26] Eren
    In an effort to take control
    over the Dragon Princess,
[12:29] Eren
    the king killed the baby dragon.
[12:33] Eren
    The girl went mad with pain, grief, and rage.
[12:38] Eren
    With the power she had
    inherited from her father,
[12:41] Eren
    she destroyed the king along
    with his entire nation,
[12:45] Eren
    including tens of thousands of people.
[12:48] Eren
    Then the girl transformed into a Demon Lord,
[12:52] Eren
    and when she did, the baby dragon
    miraculously came back to life.
[12:58] Eren
    But since it had lost its soul when it died,
[13:02] Eren
    it came back as an evil monster
    with no will of its own
[13:05] Eren
    that destroyed everything in its path:
[13:07] Eren
    the Chaos Dragon.
[13:11] Eren
    Though it hurt her deeply,
[13:13] Eren
    the girl sealed away her
    once-beloved companion.
[13:17] Eren
    This was the first thing she accomplished
    upon becoming a Demon Lord.
[13:24] Eren
    That's the end of the story.
[13:29] Rimuru
    She destroyed an entire nation
    to become a Demon Lord...
[13:32] Rimuru
    And when she did, the dragon she
    was bonded with came back to life.
[13:37] Rimuru
    It's true that monsters
    evolve for unknown reasons.
[13:41] Rimuru
    All I did was name them, and they went crazy.
[13:45] Rimuru
    But there's no point if they come
    back without a will of their own...
[13:50] Eren
    This city is surrounded by a
    barrier right now, isn't it?
[13:56] Rimuru
    So if the souls of the dead are
    being held here by that barrier...
[14:01] Great Sage
    Notice.
[14:02] Great Sage
    Normally, the souls of the deceased
    scatter and then disappear,
[14:06] Great Sage
    but it is possible that the double-layer
    barrier is preventing this.
SIGN    Souls of the deceased remain
[14:09] Great Sage
    The probability that they remain is 3.14%.
SIGN    Probability
[14:12] Rimuru
    The same as pi...
[14:15] Rimuru
    No, that's not right. It's the opposite.
[14:18] Rimuru
    The probability that I could
    revive them is a whole 3%.
[14:22] Rimuru
    If I can just become a Demon Lord...
[14:26] Rimuru
    Eren, thanks for telling me this.
[14:29] Eren
    It's okay.
[14:30] Rimuru
    But are you sure that was wise?
[14:31] Rimuru
    You basically told me to become a Demon Lord.
[14:34] Rimuru
    And, well...
[14:36] Eren
    Yeah.
[14:37] Eren
    To tell you the truth,
    my real name is Eryune Grimwald.
[14:42] Eren
    My blood connects me to the royal family
    of the Sorcerous Dynasty of Thalion.
[14:46] Rimuru
    You're... a princess?
[14:49] Kaval
    We left our country with
    Princess Eren as her guards.
[14:53] Rimuru
    You did?
[14:55] Gido
    Sorry we didn't tell you.
[14:56] Eren
    I always wanted the freedom of adventuring,
[14:59] Eren
    so I left my home country.
[15:01] Eren
    But the truth is, only a few people
    in Thalion know that fairy tale.
[15:06] Eren
    If you become a Demon Lord,
[15:08] Eren
    they might realize that I
    had something to do with it.
[15:12] Eren
    But that's fine. I want to save
    the people of this city, too.
[15:16] Eren
    And I just can't condone what Falmuth
    and the Western Holy Church are doing!
[15:21] Kaval
    If that's how you feel, Princess,
[15:23] Kaval
    we have no objections as your guards.
[15:25] Gido
    Of course.
[15:27] Rimuru
    You have such good friends. I envy you.
[15:32] Eren
    Yes!
[15:33] Eren
    If there's anything we
    can do, just let us know!
[15:36] Kaval
    You're always doing so much for us.
[15:38] Gido
    It'll be our turn to do all we can for you!
[15:41] Rimuru
    Thanks.
[15:49] Rimuru
    To stop the souls of Shion and
    the others from dispersing,
[15:52] Rimuru
    I erected a third barrier.
[15:55] Rimuru
    Just to be on the safe side.
[16:01] Rimuru
    A Demon Lord...
[16:03] Great Sage
    Notice.
[16:04] Great Sage
    The individual named Rimuru Tempest has
    already acquired the Demon Lord seed.
[16:08] Rimuru
    I've acquired... the seed?
    What does that mean?
[16:11] Great Sage
    Answer.
[16:12] Great Sage
    Existence of the Demon Lord
    seed is an indicator
[16:14] Great Sage
    of whether one has the
    magicule volume, skills,
[16:16] Great Sage
    and other requirements to
    awaken as a True Demon Lord.
[16:19] Great Sage
    You acquired the seed when you
    Predated the Orc Disaster.
[16:23] Great Sage
    If you meet the conditions, you can
    potentially evolve into a True Demon Lord.
[16:26] Rimuru
    Really?!
[16:27] Rimuru
    And what are the conditions?
[16:30] Great Sage
    The fairy tale suggests that
[16:32] Great Sage
    nourishment is needed
    to make the seed sprout.
SIGN    To Sprout Seed
SIGN    Nourishment
[16:35] Great Sage
    That nourishment comes
    from the souls of humans.
[16:37] Great Sage
    The minimum requirement is ten thousand.
SIGN    Minimum Ten Thousand
[16:44] Rimuru
    I see...
[16:47] Soei
    Great Rimuru.
[16:47] Rimuru
    What is it?
[16:49] Soei
    I have a report from one of our
    men some distance from here.
[16:52] Soei
    The combined forces of Falmuth
[16:54] Soei
    and the Western Holy Church are
    marching in this direction.
[16:57] Soei
    They number about twenty thousand.
[17:02] Rimuru
    That's perfect.
[17:03] Soei
    It's... perfect?
[17:05] Rimuru
    Never mind, it's nothing important.
[17:07] Rimuru
    Thanks for the report.
[17:09] Soei
    Not at all. Until next time.
[17:12] Rimuru
    In that case...
[17:16] Rimuru
    Mjurran.
[17:18] Rimuru
    I've decided what to do with you.
[17:20] Rimuru
    You need to die.
[17:21] Youm
    Master!
[17:22] Youm
    Wait a second! Mjurran really didn't—
[17:25] Youm
    Grucius!
[17:26] Grucius
    What's the holdup, Youm?!
[17:28] Grucius
    Take Mjurran and get out of here!
[17:31] Youm
    Mjurran, we have to hur—
[17:36] Mjurran
    I loved you, Youm.
[17:39] Mjurran
    You were the first man I
    ever fell in love with.
[17:43] Mjurran
    Try not to be deceived by
    any more evil women, okay?
[17:48] Mjurran
    Goodbye.
[17:49] Youm
    Mjurran!
[17:53] Youm
    Mjurran!
[17:54] Youm
    Master, please! Don't do this!
[17:56] Youm
    I'll take her punishment with her!
    I'll do whatever you want!
[17:59] Rimuru
    I admire your resolve.
[18:00] Youm
    I'll spend my life atoning! Please!
[18:04] Youm
    No...
[18:06] Youm
    Mjurran!
[18:21] Rimuru
    Great. Looks like it worked.
[18:23] Mjurran
    Huh? Why am I alive?
[18:27] Rimuru
    You were dead for about three seconds.
[18:30] Rimuru
    I did say you needed to die,
    but I never intended to kill you.
[18:35] Great Sage
    Notice.
SIGN    Notice
[18:36] Great Sage
    The individual Mjurran's artificial
    heart is operating normally.
SIGN    Normal
[18:40] Rimuru
    All right!
[18:42] Rimuru
    I realized when I put up
    the third barrier earlier
[18:45] Rimuru
    that this temporary heart
    Clayman put in Mjurran
[18:48] Rimuru
    was being used as a bug.
[18:50] Mjurran
    A bug?
[18:52] Rimuru
    It was emitting encrypted electrical signals
[18:54] Rimuru
    and delivering them to Clayman.
[18:57] Rimuru
    I had to make him think you
    were dead to trick him.
[19:00] Rimuru
    Sorry for scaring you like that.
[19:02] Mjurran
    It's all right...
[19:03] Mjurran
    Um, then... this pulse I feel...
[19:06] Rimuru
    It's an artificial heart I made
    based on this temporary one.
[19:10] Rimuru
    It won't work as a bug, of course.
[19:12] Rimuru
    You're free now.
[19:14] Rimuru
    Clayman can't do anything to you.
[19:19] Youm
    That's awesome, Mjurran!
[19:20] Youm
    There's nothing tying you down anymore!
[19:24] Mjurran
    Yes...
[19:25] Mjurran
    Rimuru... no, Great Rimuru...
[19:29] Mjurran
    There aren't enough words
    to express my gratitude.
[19:33] Mjurran
    If you desire my allegiance,
    I freely give it to you.
[19:36] Rimuru
    Nah, no need for that.
[19:39] Rimuru
    I just want your help with something.
[19:42] Mjurran
    What is it?
[19:43] Rimuru
    In the same way you just
    came back from the dead,
[19:46] Rimuru
    there's a chance I can bring
    Shion and the others back.
[19:50] Mjurran
    You can... do that?
[19:52] Rimuru
    I'm just saying it's possible.
[19:54] Rimuru
    I'm going to do everything I
    can to increase my chances.
[19:59] Rimuru
    Will you help me?
[20:01] Mjurran
    Very well. I will help in any way I can.
[20:05] Rimuru
    Thank you.
[20:06] Rimuru
    So what are you going
    to do after that's done?
[20:12] Mjurran
    I... finally just gained my freedom...
[20:16] Mjurran
    but if it's only for the
    short lifespan of a human,
[20:19] Mjurran
    I don't think I'd mind being tied down.
[20:21] Youm
    Huh? You mean...
[20:25] Grucius
    Huh?!
[20:27] Grucius
    I don't need you comforting me!
[20:29] Grucius
    Besides, Youm's a human.
[20:31] Grucius
    He'll only live a hundred years or so.
[20:34] Grucius
    After that, it'll be my turn.
[20:35] Youm
    What the hell?!
[20:37] Youm
    That's what you've been thinking,
    you scumbag wolf?!
[20:39] Grucius
    What'd you just say, you scumbag human?!
[20:42] Rimuru
    By the way, Youm, I have a
    favor to ask of you, too.
[20:46] Youm
    Sure! Anything for you, man!
[20:48] Rimuru
    I want you to become the new king of Falmuth.
[20:51] Youm
    All right! Leave it to me!
[20:54] Youm
    Wait... what?
[20:56] Youm
    The king?
[20:57] Rimuru
    What I'm saying is, I'm going to wipe out
    the entire force that's headed here from Falmuth,
[21:02] Rimuru
    including their king and his top officers.
[21:04] Rimuru
    Won't that make things tough
    for the citizens of the kingdom?
[21:08] Rimuru
    That's where you come in.
[21:10] Rimuru
    You'll rule the Kingdom
    of Falmuth as its new king
[21:13] Rimuru
    and establish diplomatic relations with us.
[21:15] Youm
    You make it sound so simple...
[21:17] Youm
    You want me to be a king?
[21:18] Rimuru
    Why not?
[21:20] Rimuru
    I'm gonna be a Demon King myself.
    You can join me.
[21:23] Mjurran
    Great Rimuru wouldn't ask
    this of anyone but you.
[21:27] Mjurran
    You have my support, as well.
[21:28] Mjurran
    Why not live the most life you can?
[21:32] Grucius
    I'll stick with you. I wanna be
    there waiting when you croak.
[21:36] Youm
    Excuse me?!
[21:39] Youm
    Okay, I'll do it. You can count on me.
[21:43] Rimuru
    All right!
[21:52] Rimuru
    Sorry for the wait, everyone.
[21:55] Rimuru
    We're going to begin our meeting now.
[21:58] Rimuru
    The topics are how we'll deal
    with humans from now on...
[22:01] Rimuru
    and the resurrection of Shion and the others.
[23:36] Great Sage
    Next time, "Putting Everything on the Line."
