[00:01] Rimuru
    Now, let's get down to business.
[00:07] Rimuru
    Ramiris?!
[00:10] Rimuru
    What the heck's going on?
[00:13] Ramiris
    I heard everything!
[00:15] Ramiris
    This country, Tempest...
[00:17] Ramiris
    is doomed to fall!
[00:18] Rimuru
    Wha...
[00:20] Three
    What did you say?!
[00:23] Ramiris
    Yes! It's doomed to—
[00:26] Ramiris
    H-Hey! What's the big idea?!
[00:29] Ramiris
    Even with all my mana, I still can't escape!
[00:32] Diablo
    Great Rimuru, how shall I dispose
    of this ridiculous little bug?
[00:37] Ramiris
    Excuse me?! What's your problem?!
[00:38] Rimuru
    She's actually a Demon Lord...
[00:38] Ramiris
    What did I do to you?!
[00:41] Ramiris
    Th-This is clearly no ordinary man!
[00:44] Fuze
    Um, Great Rimuru... Who's the fairy?
[00:48] Rimuru
    Oh, she's a friend of mine named Ramiris.
[00:51] Rimuru
    Despite how she looks,
    she's actually a Demon Lord.
[00:54] Ramiris
    What do you mean, despite how I look?!
[00:54] Fuze
    Ah... A Demon Lord...
[00:56] Rimuru
    I'll have you know I'm one
    of the Ten Great Demon Lords!
[01:01] Fuze
    Uh-huh...
[01:02] Ramiris
    Hey, you! Be a little more surprised!
[01:04] Ramiris
    When they speak of Ramiris, the Fairy
    of the Labyrinth, they mean me!
[01:07] Ramiris
    What's with the bland response?
[01:10] Fuze
    Oh, well... I was so shocked
    by the Storm Dragon's return,
[01:14] Fuze
    I suppose I'm just all out of surprise...
SIGN    Sirius
[01:20] Ramiris
    What? The Storm Dragon?
[01:22] Ramiris
    You're saying Veldora is back?
[01:24] Ramiris
    That can't be true!
[01:26] Ramiris
    I sank Veldora with a single
    punch back in the day!
[01:29] Ramiris
    He was all bark and no bite!
[01:31] Ramiris
    His time is long past, is all I'm saying!
[01:35] Ramiris
    It's not the Breeze Dragon
    you should be afraid of!
[01:37] Ramiris
    You ought to fear and worship me!
SIGN    Sirius
[01:49] Rimuru
    Veldora...
[01:50] Rimuru
    Sorry, but could you watch her for a while?
[01:57] Ramiris
    Veldora?
[02:02] Rimuru
    She's all yours.
SIGN    That Time I Got
    Reincarnated as a Slime
SIGN    Episode 39: Ramiris's Warning
[03:39] Rimuru
    Now, time to get down to business for real.
[03:43] Rimuru
    This is how we're going to make
    our announcement to the public.
[03:47] Rimuru
    I'll state that I'm a Demon Lord,
    but not how I awakened.
[03:51] Rimuru
    We'll say that the greedy
    King Edmaris of Falmuth
[03:54] Rimuru
    sent an army to attack Tempest,
    started a war, and lost.
[03:59] Rimuru
    Rather than saying they were
    wiped out by a single Demon Lord,
[04:01] Rimuru
    other nations will have
    an easier time believing
[04:04] Rimuru
    that they were defeated in battle.
[04:07] Rimuru
    Following that, the massive number
    of casualties in the Falmuth army
[04:09] Rimuru
    was enough misfortune to break the seal,
[04:12] Rimuru
    reviving the sleeping Evil Dragon,
    the Storm Dragon Veldora.
[04:18] Veldora
    Hm? What's up?
[04:20] Rimuru
    Then Youm the champion and I worked together
[04:25] Rimuru
    and, at the cost of many
    sacrifices, convinced Veldora,
[04:27] Rimuru
    and made a deal by calming his rage
    and honoring him as a guardian.
[04:33] Rimuru
    That gives meaning to my
    becoming a Demon Lord,
[04:35] Rimuru
    puts all the blame on the Kingdom of Falmuth,
[04:38] Rimuru
    and emphasizes that we were in the right.
[04:41] Fuze
    Hmm...
[04:43] Gazel
    Just think about it.
[04:45] Gazel
    People fear those they do not understand,
[04:48] Gazel
    and will never accept them.
[04:50] Gazel
    If someone who wiped out an army of
    20,000 offered to be your friend,
[04:55] Gazel
    you wouldn't trust them, would you?
[04:59] Gazel
    But if we say it was the
    Storm Dragon Veldora's doing,
[05:03] Gazel
    they're more likely to understand.
[05:05] Gazel
    The Storm Dragon is a Catastrophe, after all.
[05:10] Veldora
    You recognize my genius!
    You are a man of good judgment!
[05:14] Rimuru
    He wasn't calling you a genius!
[05:17] Erald
    I'm in favor of this plan.
[05:20] Erald
    It's better to let people think
    Master Rimuru's evolution to Demon Lord
[05:25] Erald
    made negotiation with Veldora possible
[05:27] Erald
    than to be feared and hated because my
    daughter led Rimuru to become a Demon Lord.
[05:33] Rimuru
    There are other advantages to it.
[05:35] Rimuru
    The other Demon Lords who are wary of me
[05:37] Rimuru
    might mistakenly think Veldora is
    the only threat to them, right?
[05:41] Rimuru
    That'll make it easier for me to take action.
[05:44] Rimuru
    And the most significant advantage
[05:46] Rimuru
    is that when they find out we
    can negotiate with Veldora,
[05:49] Rimuru
    there won't be many nations
    dumb enough to mess with us.
[05:52] Rimuru
    If anyone has an opposing
    view, let's hear it.
[05:55] Rimuru
    Especially you, Veldora, since
    this would saddle my sins on you.
[05:59] Veldora
    That's not a problem at all.
[06:01] Veldora
    I've made up my mind to shoulder
    your karma alongside you.
[06:05] Veldora
    Use the influence of the
    Storm Dragon all you like.
[06:09] Rimuru
    Okay. Thanks.
[06:11] Rigurd
    I do agree with this plan!
[06:13] Rigurd
    It should allow us to continue negotiating
    with other countries as we have been.
[06:18] Shion
    Yes! You've done it again, Great Rimuru!
[06:20] Shion
    A brilliant idea!
[06:22] Rimuru
    Nah, it was King Gazel who came up with it.
[06:24] Rimuru
    I just organized our thoughts together.
[06:28] Suphia
    Thanks a lot, King Gazel.
[06:30] Suphia
    Now we know that when we do anything,
    we can count on Great Rimuru's backing.
[06:37] Benimaru
    I see. This means we can focus on Clayman.
[06:42] Benimaru
    If we don't win, it will
    mean I was incompetent.
[06:46] Rimuru
    Okay, so that's how we'll tell
    everyone that I became a Demon Lord.
[06:51] Rimuru
    Everyone on board so far?
[06:55] Rimuru
    Okay, now I'd like to decide where
    we go from here based on that.
[06:59] Rimuru
    Youm.
[07:00] Youm
    Eh?
[07:02] Youm
    Yes.
[07:05] Rimuru
    I'd like to back Youm the Champion
    as the new king of Falmuth,
[07:10] Rimuru
    with the goal of founding a new nation.
[07:13] Fuze
    What? You're backing Youm?
[07:17] Rimuru
    First, we'll release King Edmaris
[07:20] Rimuru
    and make him pay reparations
    for his invasion of Tempest.
[07:23] Fuze
    But I can't imagine that kingdom
    paying reparations willingly.
[07:28] Rimuru
    That's what I want.
[07:30] Rimuru
    The issue of reparations
    will only be impetus.
[07:32] Rimuru
    My real goal is to start a
    civil war within Falmuth.
[07:37] Rimuru
    We'll destroy it so it can
    be reborn as a new nation,
[07:41] Rimuru
    with Youm the champion as its new king.
[07:44] Rimuru
    Fortunately, he's popular among its citizens.
[07:47] Youm
    Huh?
[07:52] Gazel
    Very well.
[07:54] Gazel
    I have no objections to the plan itself.
[08:13] Gazel
    Are you prepared to stand and suffer
    for the good of your people?!
[08:21] Gazel
    Well, are you?
[08:27] Youm
    Like I care.
[08:29] Youm
    I'm not becoming king because I want to.
[08:33] Youm
    But this role was handed
    to me based on trust.
[08:37] Youm
    What kind of man would I be if I refused?
[08:41] Youm
    I just don't want to decide I can't
    do it and give up before I try.
[08:46] Youm
    Of course, part of it is that I want
    to impress the woman I love, too.
[08:51] Mjurran
    Stupid...
[08:52] Youm
    If I'm gonna do it,
    I'm gonna give it all I've got.
[08:59] Grucius
    He's definitely stupid,
[09:01] Grucius
    but it's just like him to say that.
[09:04] Grucius
    King of the Dwarves, I give you my guarantee.
[09:06] Grucious
    While it's true that he's stupid...
[09:08] Youm
    Stop calling me stupid!
[09:09] Grucius
    He's not irresponsible.
[09:11] Grucius
    Until the day he is called
    the Hero King, like you,
[09:15] Grucius
    I, Grucius, swear to keep watch over him.
[09:18] Mjurran
    I swear it, as well.
[09:26] Gazel
    Very well, then.
[09:30] Gazel
    If you are ever in need, just come to me.
[09:36] Gazel
    That said, you certainly found
    quite the interesting man.
[09:40] Erald
    Imagine becoming a king to
    impress the woman you love.
[09:46] Youm
    Uh, er...
[09:48] Phobio
    Not bad, Grucius.
[09:50] Phobio
    Never thought I'd hear you so boldly
    betray Lord Carrion right in front of us.
[09:55] Youm
    N-No, that's not what I...
[10:01] Gazel
    Youm, what my kingdom desires of
    you is agricultural production.
[10:06] Gazel
    Having something you can specialize
    in will make it easier
[10:09] Gazel
    to co-exist and co-prosper with other nations
[10:11] Gazel
    than competing with them over it, yes?
[10:14] Rimuru
    I'll second that request, Youm.
[10:16] Rimuru
    We'll talk later about what crops we want.
[10:19] Youm
    On top of things as always, eh?
[10:21] Youm
    You can count on me.
    Falmuth's agriculture is pretty advanced,
[10:25] Youm
    so I think they'll accept.
[10:27] Fuze
    Then, as the representative of the
    Kingdom of Blumund, I have a suggestion.
[10:31] Rimuru
    A suggestion?
[10:32] Fuze
    I believe we can also contribute
    to the backing of Youm for king.
[10:36] Rimuru
    Oh?
[10:37] Fuze
    Blumund is friendly with
    two nobles of Falmuth,
[10:40] Fuze
    Marquis Muller and Count Herman.
[10:43] Fuze
    Why don't we negotiate with
    them to join our side?
[10:49] Fuze
    When Youm rises to his new position,
[10:51] Fuze
    I believe they can be relied
    upon to support him.
[10:54] Rimuru
    That would be great, but...
[10:56] Rimuru
    Even if you are the Guildmaster,
    can you make that decision here?
[11:01] Fuze
    Please understand that I stand
    here today as a man of the state.
[11:05] Fuze
    I speak not as the Guildmaster, but as
    assistant leader of the intelligence bureau.
[11:11] Rimuru
    Uh-huh... And you say we
    can trust these nobles?
[11:15] Fuze
    Marquis Muller is actually a distant
    relative of the king of Blumund.
[11:20] Fuze
    And Count Herman owes
    Marquis Muller a tremendous debt,
[11:23] Fuze
    so he would never betray him.
[11:26] Rimuru
    I see.
[11:27] Rimuru
    But are you sure you should be
    telling us a big secret like that?
[11:33] Fuze
    Not to worry.
[11:34] Fuze
    I'm sure you knew already, did you not?
[11:37] Fuze
    Those who work for Dwargon's dark underbelly
[11:40] Fuze
    could rival Blumund's
    own intelligence bureau.
[11:45] Rimuru
    Okay, got it.
[11:46] Rimuru
    Fuze, I want you to immediately contact
    Marquis Muller and Count Herman,
[11:51] Rimuru
    and do it in utmost secrecy.
[11:53] Fuze
    Of course. Leave it to me.
[11:56] Rimuru
    Youm, you hear that?
[11:58] Youm
    Yeah. I've got this.
[12:00] Rimuru
    Good. That should cover Youm the
    champion's takeover of Blumund.
[12:03] Rimuru
    Let's make a glorious show of the
    champion's triumphant return!
[12:07] All
    Yeah!
[12:08] Gazel
    Let's do it!
[12:19] Erald
    Look at all these leaders of nations
[12:21] Erald
    openly sharing their honest thoughts
    with no suspicion whatsoever.
[12:25] Erald
    You make me look silly for
    having my reservations.
[12:31] Eren
    Come on, Dad...
[12:38] Erald
    A question for you.
[12:39] Erald
    Do you truly trust Master Rimuru, a monster?
[12:47] Fuze
    What... do you mean by that?
[12:50] Erald
    Even if a monster were to declare
    itself a nation's leader,
[12:54] Erald
    was there any need for Blumund to
    formally recognize it as a nation,
[12:59] Erald
    much less to enter into
    such close ties with it?
[13:04] Erald
    I'm saying that if it were me,
    I would have done business with them
[13:08] Erald
    while keeping an eye on what
    the Western Holy Church did.
[13:12] Erald
    Even if I made a profit,
    I would secretly submit reports
[13:16] Erald
    to inform them of any problems,
    leaving everything in their hands.
[13:20] Erald
    Is that not how a small nation
    should conduct itself?
[13:31] Fuze
    All right, fine! I get it!
[13:34] Fuze
    Allow me to share my honest thoughts, then.
[13:38] Fuze
    Of course, I was of the same
    opinion as you, Archduke Erald.
[13:43] Fuze
    Before Master Rimuru visited Blumund,
[13:45] Fuze
    I said as much to my superior.
[13:48] Fuze
    But I was denied. He asked me,
    "What if it leads to war?"
[13:54] Fuze
    To build a relationship of trust
[13:56] Fuze
    and an environment where we
    can co-exist and co-prosper
[13:58] Fuze
    was the route my nation's
    upper echelon decided upon.
[14:03] Fuze
    Of course, the Dwarven Kingdom
    and your nation are much larger,
[14:06] Fuze
    so I'm sure you have far more options.
[14:09] Fuze
    But if a small nation like mine
    makes one mistake, it's done for.
[14:13] Fuze
    If we're putting our fate on the line anyway,
[14:15] Fuze
    we'd rather put our trust in a monster leader
[14:18] Fuze
    than seek the Western Holy Church's aid.
[14:21] Fuze
    That's my reason.
[14:24] Erald
    So you came here to assist Master Rimuru.
[14:28] Erald
    Was that also your superior's decision?
[14:30] Fuze
    Precisely.
[14:32] Fuze
    Now that we've entered a mutual
    security pact with them,
[14:35] Fuze
    I have been ordered to
    uphold it at all costs.
[14:38] Fuze
    Of course, even if I broke
    my promise with my nation,
[14:41] Fuze
    I still would have come here.
[14:43] Fuze
    I am a free man, after all.
[14:48] Fuze
    Why did I accept this job?
[14:52] Fuze
    The moment I became a member of
    Blumund's intelligence bureau
[14:57] Fuze
    was the moment my luck ran out.
[14:59] Rimuru
    Who is your superior, anyway?
[15:01] Fuze
    The king of the nation himself.
[15:05] Erald
    You must forgive me, Master Fuze.
[15:08] Erald
    But thanks to you, I now clearly
    understand Blumund's intentions.
[15:13] Gazel
    I trust Rimuru, so there's no
    reason for you to doubt him.
[15:17] Erald
    So you say, Gazel,
[15:19] Erald
    but the decision to enter diplomatic
    relations with a nation of monsters
[15:22] Erald
    cannot be made so easily.
[15:25] Erald
    I just developed a new respect
    for the king of Blumund.
[15:29] Gazel
    Heh, please.
[15:31] Gazel
    Your decision was made right from
    the start. That's why you're here.
[15:36] Gazel
    Erald the Tactician, what is your decision?
[15:38] Erald
    I have reached my own personal decision,
[15:41] Erald
    but before I give it...
[15:44] Erald
    May I ask one more question?
[15:48] Eren
    Come on, Dad. Stop putting on
    airs and just answer him already.
[15:54] Kaval
    P-Princess! You shouldn't say that!
[15:56] Gido
    That's right! He's trying
    his best to look good!
[16:02] Gazel
    How the mighty tactician has fallen...
[16:13] Rimuru
    I'm listening, Erald.
[16:16] Erald
    The Demon Lord aura...
[16:17] Erald
    I see now. It is intense.
[16:21] Erald
    Then, Demon Lord Rimuru, let me ask you this.
[16:26] Erald
    What do you intend to do with
    your powers as a Demon Lord?
[16:31] Rimuru
    Huh?
[16:33] Rimuru
    Oh, is that all?
[16:35] Erald
    Is that... "all"?
[16:37] Rimuru
    The answer's simple.
[16:39] Rimuru
    I want to create a world that's comfortable
    to live in, the way I like it.
[16:43] Rimuru
    A prosperous world where as many people
    as possible can always be smiling.
[16:48] Erald
    And you really think you can create
    such a dream world in reality?
[16:53] Rimuru
    That's what this power's for.
[16:55] Rimuru
    Ideals without power to back them are a joke,
[16:58] Rimuru
    and power without ideals is just empty.
[17:05] Erald
    Delightful! You are delightful,
    Demon Lord Rimuru!
[17:10] Erald
    Demon Lord of such deep karma,
[17:12] Erald
    now even I can understand why you awakened.
[17:19] Erald
    Forgive my rudeness, Demon Lord Rimuru.
[17:22] Erald
    As the emissary of the
    Sorcerous Dynasty of Thalion,
[17:25] Erald
    I request the establishment of diplomatic
    relations with the Jura Tempest Federation.
[17:30] Erald
    I eagerly await your favorable reply.
[17:34] Eren
    Dad!
[17:35] Kaval
    P-Princess!
[17:37] Gido
    Wait!
[17:48] Rimuru
    I was hoping to build a good
    relationship with you, too.
[17:53] Rimuru
    I'd be happy to accept your offer.
[18:20] Rimuru
    And so diplomatic relations were
    established between Tempest
[18:24] Rimuru
    and the Sorcerous Dynasty of Thalion.
[18:26] Rimuru
    That makes the third human nation
    after Blumund and Dwargon.
[18:32] Rimuru
    Okay, Benimaru!
[18:33] Benimaru
    Yes.
[18:34] Rimuru
    Our enemy is Clayman. We're gonna crush him.
[18:37] Benimaru
    I've been awaiting that order.
[18:39] Shion
    Yes! I can't wait!
[18:42] Rimuru
    As for you Three Beastketeers
    and the other beast warriors...
[18:46] Albis
    We are now under your command, Great Rimuru.
[18:49] Suphia
    Yeah. You can count on us.
[18:51] Gazel
    Rimuru, you sure you can win this?
[18:56] Rimuru
    I will win. He pissed me off.
[18:59] Erald
    You make it sound so simple.
[19:01] Erald
    Clayman is a Demon Lord
    who commands many majin.
[19:05] Erald
    You mustn't be careless with him.
[19:08] Rimuru
    That means nothing.
[19:09] Rimuru
    It's quality that counts
    in war, not quantity.
[19:12] Erald
    Goodness...
[19:13] Erald
    I can hear the sound of my
    own common sense shattering.
[19:18] Rimuru
    Thus the very long meeting between
    humans and monsters ended,
[19:22] Rimuru
    and we took another big
    step toward our ideal.
[19:34] Laplace
    I heard you're gonna invade Eurazania.
[19:39] Clayman
    Yes.
[19:41] Clayman
    Milim wiped out its capital,
[19:43] Clayman
    but the country still has
    a massive population.
[19:46] Clayman
    The settlements scattered throughout it
[19:48] Clayman
    are home to many humans, as well.
[19:50] Clayman
    They should be the perfect
    sacrifices for my awakening.
[19:55] Clayman
    Do you not agree?
[19:58] Laplace
    He's talkin' about total
    slaughter, includin' civilians?
[20:02] Laplace
    That seems a bit heavy-handed.
[20:04] Laplace
    Think you're startin' to panic
    a bit too much, Clayman?
[20:08] Laplace
    Say, there's no need to act right before
    a big event like Walpurgis, is there?
[20:14] Laplace
    Also, don't the Demon Lords have
    a mutual non-aggression pact?
[20:18] Clayman
    Ah, that won't be a problem.
[20:21] Clayman
    Mjurran the Medicine Master
    was killed by that slime.
[20:25] Clayman
    This is his way of threatening to
    take my position as a Demon Lord,
[20:29] Clayman
    and it has become clear that Demon
    Lord Carrion instigated him to do so.
[20:33] Clayman
    That's what I'm going to tell them.
[20:36] Laplace
    I see. It makes sense if one
    of them betrayed you fir—
[20:39] Laplace
    Wait, Mjurran's been killed?!
[20:42] Clayman
    Yes, I heard everything
    through Marionette Heart.
[20:47] Clayman
    The heart I gave her turned to ashes.
[20:50] Laplace
    I see...
[20:52] Laplace
    And she was such a nice girl...
[20:55] Clayman
    You are quite kind.
[20:57] Clayman
    Tear recently told me
[20:59] Clayman
    that you said it was important
    to use one's tools with care.
[21:03] Clayman
    She said you taught her that, Laplace.
[21:06] Clayman
    Which is exactly why the one who broke
    my tool must be held accountable.
[21:13] Laplace
    Hey, Clayman...
[21:14] Laplace
    You're sure this whole
    plan was all your idea?
[21:19] Clayman
    The only ones who can give
    me orders are Lord Kazalim
[21:22] Clayman
    and the one I am indebted to.
[21:25] Clayman
    You should know that better than anyone.
[21:28] Laplace
    Okay. All good, then.
[21:31] Laplace
    I'm gonna go now, but let me give
    ya one last warning, as your friend.
[21:36] Laplace
    Don't overestimate your control
    over Demon Lord Milim.
[21:40] Laplace
    She's one of the ancient Demon Lords who
    was around even before President Kazalim.
[21:46] Laplace
    Don't let your guard down around her.
[21:48] Laplace
    Later.
[21:56] Clayman
    Was he suggesting that I'm being
    controlled by someone else?
[22:01] Clayman
    Damn him!
