    Ow, ow, ow...
[00:21] Laplace
    The heck's your problem?!
[00:24] Laplace
    This place is supposed to be sacred.
[00:27] Laplace
    So why's there a vampire here?!
[00:30] Roy
    Hold your tongue, vermin!
    You taint the holy throne of God!
[00:33] Roy
    Any who disgrace the one and only
    god, Luminus, will not be tolerated!
[00:39] Laplace
    Yikes!
[00:41] Roy
    Begone!
[00:44] Laplace
    This ain't good...

[02:19] Yuuki
    Well, Laplace, it sounds like
    you've been through a lot.
[02:22] Yuuki
    So did you find out what the
    Western Holy Church really is?
[02:26] Laplace
    Well, actually...
[02:29] Laplace
    Security was so tight,
    I couldn't get anywhere!
[02:32] Yuuki
    Hmm... And? Surely you
    found a hint, at least?
[02:36] Laplace
    Man, since I went through hell to get
    this info, I was gonna sell it high...
[02:42] Yuuki
    But I know you're a liar.
[02:43] Laplace
    Yer so mean.
[02:45] Laplace
    I really feel bad for the slime who's got
    no idea he's wrapped up in your scheme.
[02:51] Laplace
    After all...
[02:53] Laplace
    You are the weirdo with the twisted ambition
    hidin' behind the face of the Grandmaster,
[02:58] Laplace
    Yuuki Kagurazaka.
[03:01] Yuuki
    I'm honored by your praise,
[03:03] Yuuki
    but you can't back out of the job.
[03:05] Laplace
    Man, you're indomitable.
[03:08] Yuuki
    Now, don't say that.
[03:09] Yuuki
    I've already prepared the
    reward I promised you.
[03:12] Laplace
    What?! Then...
[03:13] Yuuki
    Yes. The soul of your alliance's
    president, which was inside me,
[03:16] Yuuki
    was safely transferred to a homunculus.
[03:19] Laplace
    The president... is finally comin' back!
[03:22] Laplace
    Where is he?! Lemme see 'im!
[03:24] Yuuki
    Relax. He's been right there this whole time.
[03:27] Laplace
    What?!
[03:30] Laplace
    Huh? This... lovely lady?
[03:36] Laplace
    What the heck's with that look?
    Did yer tastes change?
[03:41] Kazalim
    Quiet, Laplace.
[03:43] Kazalim
    You dare take that attitude with me,
    the Demon Lord Kazalim,
SIGN    Kagali
    (Formerly Demon Lord Kazalim)
SIGN    when you haven't seen me in 200 years?
[03:49] Laplace
    Welcome back, President Kazalim.
[03:52] Laplace
    The Moderate Harlequin Alliance
    has been waitin' for ya.
[03:55] Laplace
    Myself, Footman, Tear...
[03:58] Laplace
    and Clayman, too.
[04:01] Yuuki
    Sorry to put a damper on
    your touching reunion,
[04:05] Yuuki
    but the Demon Lord Kazalim
    isn't fully revived yet.
[04:09] Kazalim
    True.
[04:10] Kazalim
    In all honesty, my power is nowhere
    near the power I had in my prime.
[04:14] Kazalim
    Leon Cromwell... Curse that bastard!
[04:17] Yuuki
    I wish you wouldn't complain
    about your new body.
[04:21] Yuuki
    It was pretty expensive, you know.
[04:23] Kazalim
    I know that, boss.
[04:24] Kazalim
    It was custom-made in Thalion, right?
[04:27] Kazalim
    It's weak, and it's not my preferred look,
[04:30] Kazalim
    but it's far better than not having
    a material body I can move on my own.
[04:36] Kazalim
    Hey!
[04:37] Kazalim
    Are you ever going to
    stop laughing, Laplace?!
[04:39] Yuuki
    Anyway, do you mind if
    we get to the point now?
[04:44] Yuuki
    You got something on the
    Western Holy Church, right?
[04:48] Laplace
    Okay. If the president calls you
    "boss," you're my boss, too.
[04:53] Laplace
    I'll tell ya what I know
    without askin' for any deals.
[04:58] Laplace
    There was nothin' in the
    Western Holy Church that seemed dodgy.
[05:02] Laplace
    I mean, believers go there to worship.
[05:04] Laplace
    They ain't gonna put anything
    scary in plain sight.
[05:07] Laplace
    So I decided to head to the
    top of the sacred mountain.
[05:11] Laplace
    Thought I might find somethin'
    in the inner sanctum
[05:14] Laplace
    that only their cloistered emperor can enter.
[05:16] Laplace
    And then... this important-lookin'
    vampire dude shot a red beam at me
[05:22] Laplace
    and roughed me up good.
[05:24] Yuuki
    Wait, how are you still alive?
[05:27] Kazalim
    You said he shot a red beam at you?
[05:30] Laplace
    Yep.
[05:31] Kazalim
    That's called Blood Ray. It turns
    blood into magic particles,
[05:33] Kazalim
    which are fired as a beam.
[05:35] Kazalim
    It's the signature attack of the Demon Lord
    Valentine, also known as the Blood Tyrant.
[05:41] Laplace
    A Demon Lord?! You serious?!
[05:43] Kazalim
    Fleeing was the right choice, Laplace.
[05:45] Kazalim
    That man was an even
    match for me in my prime.
[05:48] Laplace
    Damn!
[05:51] Kazalim
    Every time I fought him in the past,
[05:53] Kazalim
    the damage to the surroundings was immense.
[05:55] Kazalim
    So we had a discussion, which led
    to the custom of the majority vote.
[06:00] Yuuki
    Are you talking about Walpurgis?
[06:03] Kazalim
    Yes. The requirement of three votes
    to move forward on a proposal
[06:06] Kazalim
    is a remnant of the time when
    there were seven Demon Lords.
[06:08] Yuuki
    So if we know that guy was
    the Demon Lord Valentine,
[06:12] Yuuki
    I wonder what he was doing there.
[06:15] Yuuki
    The most likely explanation
[06:17] Yuuki
    is that the cloistered emperor
    was actually a Demon Lord.
[06:20] Kazalim
    Valentine sees humans and
    demihumans as no more than food.
[06:24] Kazalim
    If such a man is claiming to
    be the guardian of humanity...
[06:29] Kazalim
    There must be something to it.
[06:33] Yuuki
    Regardless, this is useful information.
[06:35] Yuuki
    Well done, Laplace.
[06:37] Yuuki
    I'd like to investigate the
    Western Holy Church further,
[06:41] Yuuki
    but if the Demon Lord Valentine is
    there, I guess we can't be careless.
[06:45] Laplace
    Well, if ya just wanna lure out a
    Demon Lord, that should be doable, right?
[06:51] Laplace
    Clayman, Demon Lord Milim,
    and Demon Lord Frey.
[06:55] Laplace
    There's a lot an alliance of
    three Demon Lords can do, right?
[06:59] Laplace
    So let 'em have Walpurgis.
[07:06] Laplace
    That's quite clever, for you.
[07:08] Laplace
    Ain't it?
[07:10] Laplace
    Now, what's that squishy one gonna do?
[07:19] Shuna
    Next is our new second secretary, Diablo.
[07:23] Diablo
    A pleasure to make your acquaintance.
[07:26] Shuna
    And the caretaker of the Forest of Jura...
[07:29] Treyni
    I am the Dryad Treyni.
[07:33] Shuna
    This concludes the introductions
    of our members from Tempest.
[07:36] Shuna
    I will now introduce our guests.
[07:39] Shuna
    From the Armed Nation of
    Dwargon, King Gazel Dwargo.
[07:44] Shuna
    From the Sorcerous Dynasty
    of Thalion, Archduke Erald.
[07:48] Erald
    It's a pleasure.
[07:49] Shuna
    From the Animal Kingdom of
    Eurazania's Warrior Brigade,
[07:52] Shuna
    the Three Beastketeers, Lady Albis,
    Lady Suphia, and Sir Phobio.
[07:57] Shuna
    From the Kingdom of
    Blumund, Guildmaster Fuze.
[08:00] Fuze
    Uh... Yes.
[08:02] Shuna
    And representing the future
    Kingdom of Falmuth,
[08:05] Shuna
    Sir Grucius, Lady Mjurran, and Sir Youm.
[08:11] Youm
    Nice to meet you.
[08:14] Rimuru
    Wow, pretty prominent bunch
    of people we've got here...
[08:20] Rimuru
    Shuna, what's Veldora doing?
[08:22] Shuna
    Yes, he has changed clothes
    and should arrive shortly.
[08:31] Veldora
    Sorry to keep you all waiting!
[08:34] Shuna
    Oh, that looks wonderful on you!
[08:36] Shuna
    And it appears to be the perfect size!
[08:38] Veldora
    Right? It is truly a nice outfit!
[08:42] Veldora
    You have my compliments!
[08:43] Shuna
    Thank you!
[08:46] Gazel
    Rimuru, is this another of your subordinates?
[08:49] Gazel
    I haven't seen him before.
[08:51] Rimuru
    Yeah. Let me introduce you
    all to my sworn friend.
[08:55] Rimuru
    This is Veldora-kun.
[08:58] Gazel
    Veldora?
[08:59] Erald
    Veldora?
[09:00] Fuze
    Vel...dora?
[09:08] Veldora
    I am the Storm Dragon, Veldora Tempest!
[09:12] Veldora
    Very few people have had
    a chance to speak with me.
[09:16] Veldora
    You are all extremely fortunate!
[09:18] Veldora
    Consider this a great honor!
[09:22] Eren
    Uh-oh. He passed out.
[09:24] Youm
    I don't blame him.
[09:25] Veldora
    Huh, was he overcome with emotion?
[09:27] Rimuru
    That's not it!
[09:28] Rimuru
    Hey, Veldora, we're about to
    have a serious discussion here.
[09:33] Rimuru
    Don't get in the way, okay?
[09:34] Rimuru
    During the meeting, I'd like
    you to act as an advisor,
[09:37] Rimuru
    and please, behave yourself.
[09:39] Rimuru
    You can even go take a walk if you want.
[09:43] Veldora
    That's cold, BFF! Bestie!
[09:46] Veldora
    Don't try to leave me out like that!
[09:49] Gazel
    Rimuru!
[09:51] Gazel
    I need to talk to you.
[09:53] Rimuru
    Uh... So do I.
[09:56] Rimuru
    And so our very important meeting to
    determine the future of Tempest...
[10:01] Rimuru
    was called off before it even began.
[10:07] Shuna
    If you'll excuse me, then.
[10:15] Gazel
    What's the meaning of this?!
    The Storm Dragon Veldora has returned?!
[10:19] Rimuru
    Um, to put it really simply...
[10:22] Erald
    Before you do that, let me say one thing.
[10:24] Rimuru
    S-Sure...
[10:26] Erald
    The emperor of the Sorcerous Dynasty of
    Thalion has entrusted me with full authority.
[10:32] Erald
    What I say dictates Thalion's position.
[10:36] Erald
    Now, with that in mind...
[10:38] Erald
    Let's hear your explanation.
[10:40] Rimuru
    Okay, okay.
[10:42] Rimuru
    I promise I'll tell the truth.
[10:47] Rimuru
    I told them the whole story.
[10:50] Rimuru
    That I reincarnated into
    this world as a slime,
[10:53] Rimuru
    that I met Veldora in the Sealed Cave,
[10:57] Rimuru
    and that I became a Demon
    Lord for certain reasons,
[11:00] Rimuru
    revived my friends who had been killed,
[11:03] Rimuru
    and released Veldora's seal.
[11:08] Rimuru
    And that brings us to today.
[11:12] Rimuru
    Uh, hey...
[11:13] Gazel
    I never imagined this.
[11:15] Gazel
    It was problematic enough
    that you became a Demon Lord,
[11:18] Gazel
    but you had an even bigger
    problem waiting for us...
[11:21] Rimuru
    Please! No need for such praise!
[11:24] Erald
    Mister Rimuru, is he really
    the Storm Dragon Veldora?
[11:29] Rimuru
    Is he? I wonder!
[11:30] Erald
    No, I know he is.
[11:33] Erald
    No human or monster is foolish enough to use
[11:35] Erald
    the name of the Evil Dragon in jest.
[11:38] Rimuru
    Good point.
[11:41] Gazel
    Still...
[11:42] Erald
    What to do?
[11:44] Gazel
    Do we make this news public or conceal it?
[11:47] Erald
    Either way, the Western Nations
    shouldn't pose a problem.
[11:50] Erald
    As for the Sorcerous Dynasty of Thalion,
    I need only report to the emperor.
[11:55] Erald
    The only problem is...
[11:56] Gazel
    The Western Holy Church.
[12:00] Gazel
    We cannot keep this a secret from them.
[12:01] Gazel
    Of all the Dragons, they regard the
    Storm Dragon with particular hostility.
[12:06] Erald
    They've probably already discovered
    that the Evil Dragon is back.
[12:13] Rimuru
    These two seem to get along pretty well.
[12:16] Gazel
    Are you listening, Rimuru?!
[12:17] Rimuru
    Y-Yes!
[12:18] Erald
    We need you to give serious
    thought to this matter!
[12:21] Rimuru
    Sorry.
[12:23] Rimuru
    Well, I was planning to spread
    the word about Veldora, anyway.
[12:27] Rimuru
    And it doesn't seem like there'll be
    any avoiding the Western Holy Church...
[12:30] Rimuru
    So we'll have to do something.
[12:34] Gazel
    If that is the decision,
    I have no complaints.
[12:37] Erald
    A Demon Lord joining forces
    with the Evil Dragon...
[12:40] Erald
    Could there be a more
    troubling turn of events?
[12:43] Erald
    It's not a funny joke at all.
[12:45] Erald
    That said, this is fortunate.
[12:48] Rimuru
    It is?
[12:52] Erald
    Since I was able to take part
    in this private meeting,
[12:56] Erald
    I gained the best possible knowledge with
    which to determine my nation's position.
[13:03] Rimuru
    Ah...
[13:04] Erald
    It would be foolish to pick a fight with
    a nation that's home to both a Demon Lord
[13:08] Erald
    and the Evil Dragon.
[13:09] Gazel
    Precisely.
[13:11] Rimuru
    I see.
[13:12] Rimuru
    So you're saying that even if the
    Western Holy Church becomes our enemy,
[13:18] Rimuru
    you'll take our side.
    Is that a fair conclusion?
[13:19] Gazel
    Rimuru, you should really learn
    the art of the unspoken message.
[13:25] Rimuru
    R-Right...
[13:28] Gazel
    I'm saying that I won't
    expose my country to danger
[13:32] Gazel
    when there's no real reason to be hostile.
[13:34] Gazel
    We are under no obligation
    to the Western Holy Church.
[13:38] Gazel
    Understand?
[13:39] Rimuru
    Yeah.
[13:40] Rimuru
    It'll be reassuring to have you on our side.
[13:43] Rimuru
    But... Erald-san...
[13:45] Rimuru
    We haven't established diplomatic
    relations with Thalion.
[13:48] Rimuru
    Why are you being so cordial?
[13:52] Erald
    Mister Rimuru, in formal settings, please
    address me with both my name and my title.
[13:57] Erald
    You are the leader of a nation.
[13:59] Erald
    There's no need to humble yourself
    before another nation's authority.
[14:03] Erald
    Though I don't mind you addressing
    me as you just did, or with "Mister."
[14:08] Rimuru
    Okay. Thanks.
[14:11] Erald
    That aside, allow me to answer your question.
[14:15] Erald
    Since it was my daughter, Ere—
[14:20] Erald
    I mean, Eryune, who told you
    how to become a Demon Lord,
[14:24] Erald
    I am charged with taking
    responsibility for that.
[14:27] (Flashback) Rimuru
    Now, tell me this fairy tale
    about reviving the dead.
[14:31] (Flashback) Eren
    Sure.
[14:32] Erald
    After all, one could say that my
    daughter created a Demon Lord.
[14:38] Erald
    But only the emperor and I know this.
[14:43] Erald
    This is why I came here personally
[14:46] Erald
    to judge you for myself, with the
    possibility of dispatching an army in kind
[14:50] Erald
    in case I deemed it necessary.
[14:53] Rimuru
    And what judgment have you made?
[14:56] Erald
    As I said earlier, I choose friendship.
[15:00] Gazel
    That's the obvious choice, of course.
[15:02] Gazel
    My country had every intention of backing
    Tempest as a friendly nation from the start.
[15:09] Erald
    Of course, this arrangement
    is not without its problems.
[15:12] Erald
    The army of Falmuth that
    Mister Rimuru annihilated
[15:15] Erald
    produced far too many casualties.
[15:17] Erald
    A Demon Lord who has killed 20,000 men...
[15:20] Gazel
    Don't worry about that.
[15:23] Gazel
    All the bodies have vanished,
    leaving no proof,
[15:26] Gazel
    and there is not a single survivor.
[15:29] Gazel
    Which means we can alter
    the story as we please.
[15:33] Gazel
    All we need to do is
    convince those who hear it.
[15:37] Gazel
    Rimuru, a king must have no regrets.
[15:41] Rimuru
    Yeah. I only did what I needed to do.
[15:44] Rimuru
    I came to terms with my decision long ago.
[15:47] Gazel
    Very good, then.
[15:49] Gazel
    All right, I will explain. Listen well.
[15:53] Gazel
    This is our story.
[15:55] Rimuru
    After that,
[15:58] Rimuru
    we had a very detailed discussion,
[16:00] Rimuru
    then headed back to resume the meeting.
[16:08] Rimuru
    You okay?
[16:11] Fuze
    You need to tell me important
    things like that beforehand!
[16:15] Rimuru
    Oh, I didn't tell you?
[16:17] Rimuru
    Well, it's in the past now.
[16:19] Fuze
    Don't just brush it off!
[16:20] Rimuru
    Hey, sounds like you're feeling better!
[16:22] Fuze
    Honestly... How am I going to report this?
[16:28] Rimuru
    All right, we will now resume the meeting!
[16:30] Rimuru
    We'll start with an explanation
    of how we got here.
[16:33] Rimuru
    Once again, I explained my
    reincarnation as a slime,
[16:37] Rimuru
    and everything that happened
    from meeting Veldora up to now.
[16:41] Rimuru
    And then...
[16:43] (Flashback) Hinata
    You see, your city stands in my way.
[16:46] (Flashback) Hinata
    So I'm going to destroy it.
[16:48] (Flashback) Hinata
    I have no interest in
    the words of a monster.
[16:55] (Flashback) Hinata
    Put an end to all!
[16:58] (Flashback) Hinata
    Disintegration!
[17:20] Fuze
    I can't believe it...
    You fought Hinata Sakaguchi?
[17:24] Rimuru
    Yeah. She was incredibly strong.
[17:27] Rimuru
    She wouldn't listen to me at all.
[17:30] Rimuru
    She was like a cruel, cold-blooded killer.
[17:34] Fuze
    Hmm...
[17:35] Rimuru
    What is it?
[17:36] Fuze
    Oh, that just differs a bit from
    the information we acquired.
[17:41] Rimuru
    How so?
[17:43] Fuze
    She always lends a hand to
    those who depend on her.
[17:48] Fuze
    She won't waste her time on
    anyone who ignores her advice,
[17:51] Fuze
    but her way of thinking is
    quite reasonable and rational.
[17:58] Gazel
    Hmm... Leave it to Blumund's Guildmaster,
    a man who excels at intel-gathering.
[18:03] Gazel
    I will testify that what you
    say matches what I have heard.
[18:07] Erald
    It matches the information we have, as well.
[18:10] Erald
    She is a model knight who
    has never once violated
[18:13] Erald
    the teachings of Lord Luminus.
[18:15] Erald
    In other words, she is a true
    protector of law and order.
[18:19] Rimuru
    If she's that great, why doesn't she
    try to stop the summoning ritual?
[18:24] Rimuru
    Bringing children here from
    another world against their will
[18:27] Rimuru
    is something that should never be tolerated.
[18:31] Fuze
    We don't know for certain whether
    or not she truly overlooked
[18:35] Fuze
    summonings performed in
    other countries, do we?
[18:41] Fuze
    The magic used to summon Otherworlders
[18:44] Fuze
    is a forbidden ritual that cannot
    be exposed to the public eye.
[18:46] Fuze
    It is designated as a prohibited
    act by the Council of the West.
[18:51] Fuze
    Even if we asked about it, no nation
    would readily acknowledge it.
[18:57] Rimuru
    So if they say it's not being
    done, that's the end of it.
[19:00] Fuze
    Correct.
[19:01] Erald
    It's likely that the reason
    it was never mentioned to you
[19:04] Erald
    is because the teachings of Lord Luminus
    forbid making deals with monsters.
[19:11] Rimuru
    So I have no chance of
    negotiating with them, huh?
[19:14] Rimuru
    If the Western Holy Church
    designates us as enemies of God,
[19:18] Rimuru
    Hinata will go along with that, right?
[19:21] Fuze
    I suppose so.
[19:26] Diablo
    Then allow me to go and take care of her.
[19:30] Rimuru
    Whoa, whoa. Hinata's a tough opponent.
[19:33] Rimuru
    You think you could take her?
[19:34] Shion
    That's right, Diablo.
[19:37] Shion
    If a weakling like you is thinking of going,
[19:39] Shion
    I shall go instead and finish the job.
[19:41] Shion
    Great Rimuru, you can leave this to me.
[19:44] Diablo
    Now, now, Miss Shion.
[19:46] Diablo
    I hesitate to say this after you
    taught me how to be a secretary,
[19:51] Diablo
    but unfortunately, you cannot
    defeat this Hinata person.
[19:55] Shion
    What a funny thing to say.
[19:57] Shion
    Are you implying that you
    are stronger than me?
[20:00] Shion
    Then let us find out once
    and for all who is—
[20:02] Rimuru
    No, you will not!
[20:05] Rimuru
    Veldora, were you...
[20:08] Veldora
    N-N-N-N-No, I wasn't trying
    to j-j-j-join in or anything!
[20:12] Rimuru
    If she's going to come here,
    there's no need for us to go there.
[20:16] Veldora
    Aw...
[20:18] Rimuru
    No whining!
[20:19] Rimuru
    I don't want to get on the
    Western Holy Church's bad side.
[20:23] Rimuru
    That goes for you guys, too.
[20:24] Both
    I am sorry.
[20:28] Rimuru
    Now, that concludes the debate on
    Hinata and the Western Holy Church.
SIGN    Sirius
[20:33] Rimuru
    Depending on what they do,
    we may end up fighting them...
[20:36] Rimuru
    But for now, we'll treat them with
    caution and keep an eye on things!
[20:40] All
    Right!
[20:40] All
    Very well.
[20:43] (Flashback) Hinata
    Playing dumb won't help you.
    I received an anonymous tip.
[20:47] (Flashback) Rimuru
    Anonymous?
[20:48] (Flashback) Hinata
    There are eyes all over
    the Kingdom of Engrassia.
[20:52] Rimuru
    Someone sold me out to Hinata.
[20:55] Rimuru
    There aren't many people who
    know I killed Shizu-san.
[20:59] Rimuru
    The only suspects are...
[21:01] Raphael
    Notice.
[21:02] Raphael
    The most likely suspect is...
[21:05] Rimuru
    That's right, Raphael-san.
    The same guy I was thinking of.
[21:10] Raphael
    So it seems.
[21:11] Rimuru
    But if it is him, what's he after?
[21:14] Rimuru
    To get Hinata and me to fight
    and get rid of one of us?
[21:17] Rimuru
    To stop me from getting back to my town?
[21:20] Rimuru
    To lure out Hinata?
[21:21] Raphael
    Or perhaps... all of the above.
[21:24] Rimuru
    Seriously? That's getting too greedy.
[21:27] Gazel
    Rimuru?
[21:29] Rimuru
    Oh, sorry.
[21:30] Rimuru
    I was thinking about something.
[21:33] Rimuru
    Now, let's get down to business.
[21:37] Rimuru
    The time had finally come
    to bring up the agenda
[21:40] Rimuru
    that would determine the fate of Tempest.
[21:47] Rimuru
    Ramiris?!
[21:51] Rimuru
    What the heck's going on?
[21:53] Ramiris
    I heard everything!
[21:56] Ramiris
    This country, Tempest...
[21:58] Ramiris
    is doomed to fall!
[21:59] Rimuru
    Wha...
[22:01] Three
    What did you say?!
SIGN    Ramiris's Warning
[23:37] Raphael
    Next time, "Ramiris's Warning."
