[00:01] Rimuru
Diplomatic relations were established between
Tempest and the Sorcerous Dynasty of Thalion.
[00:06] Rimuru
Following Blumund and Dwargon,
[00:08] Rimuru
it's the third human nation
we've joined hands with.
[00:13] Rimuru
Thus the very long meeting
between humans and monsters ended,
[00:17] Rimuru
or so we thought...
[00:22] Rimuru
So...
[00:23] Rimuru
Why did she come here, anyway?
[00:28] Rimuru
Isn't that...
[00:31] Rimuru
the golem I made for her to
replace the one I destroyed?
[00:37] Beretta
Allow me to congratulate you on
your evolution to Demon Lord.
[00:41] Rimuru
Thanks. Glad to see you're doing well.
[00:43] Beretta
Ha, ha. Thank you for saying so.
[00:45] Rimuru
Sure.
[00:46] Rimuru
Be sure to do whatever Ramiris asks
of you, unless it's just impossible.
[00:51] Beretta
You can count on me.
[00:52] Beretta
I will live up to your expectations.
[00:55] Rimuru
Hey, by the way, why'd you guys come here?
[01:00] Beretta
Lady Ramiris, we have no time
to waste on a thing like this.
[01:04] Beretta
You must inform Great Rimuru
of that matter quickly.
[01:06] Ramiris
Oh, shut up. I'm very busy right now.
[01:10] Beretta
Please remember our purpose for coming here.
[01:12] Ramiris
Look, I've just had a
meeting with my destiny!
[01:16] Ramiris
Who is the heroine in this fantastic text
they call a "manga" going to choose?
[01:21] Rimuru
Hey, Ramiris! If you don't want
me to spoil who she ends up with,
[01:25] Rimuru
tell me why you're here right now!
[01:27] Ramiris
Yes, sir!
[01:30] Ramiris
Ahem.
[01:33] Ramiris
All right, I'll say it again.
[01:39] Ramiris
This country, Tempest, is doomed to fall!
SIGN That Time I Got
Reincarnated as a Slime
SIGN Episode 40: The Congress Dances
[03:14] Ramiris
Heh! Are you surprised?
[03:15] Rimuru
Okay, enough of that.
[03:17] Ramiris
Yeah, well, the thing is,
I don't want Tempest to fall!
[03:22] Ramiris
That's why I came all the way out here!
[03:24] Ramiris
You should be grateful!
[03:25] Rimuru
Why is it doomed, though?
[03:27] Ramiris
Don't panic! Just calm down!
[03:29] Ramiris
Now, listen! This story
has to be told in order!
[03:32] Rimuru
I'm not panicking, actually...
[03:34] Ramiris
On Demon Lord Clayman's proposal...
[03:36] Rimuru
Clayman?
[03:38] Ramiris
Walpurgis has been set in motion!
[03:43] Rimuru
And... what is Walpurgis?
[03:45] Ramiris
It's the Demon Lords' banquet.
[03:47] Ramiris
A very special event that
all Demon Lords attend!
[03:51] Ramiris
That's what Walpurgis is.
[03:53] Erald
It is written in ancient literature that
[03:57] Erald
when the Demon Lords assemble,
a great war ensues.
[03:59] Rimuru
A great war?
[04:01] Erald
The day on which the Demon Lords gather was
named "Walpurgis" by the Western Holy Church.
[04:06] Rimuru
So it's when the Demon Lords
get together to start a war?
[04:10] Ramiris
No, it's not!
[04:12] Ramiris
I've got things to do, and I don't
want to waste my time on war!
[04:16] Rimuru
You don't seem like you have much to do.
[04:18] Ramiris
Listen, Walpurgis has
been held several times.
[04:22] Ramiris
It's an event where the
Demon Lords get together
[04:24] Ramiris
to drink tea while discussing
urgent reports and amusing topics.
[04:28] Ramiris
So it's nothing as dramatic as a war.
[04:31] Rimuru
And why would a tea party
doom Tempest to fall?
[04:35] Ramiris
You're still not getting it!
[04:36] Ramiris
The problem isn't Walpurgis itself.
[04:38] Ramiris
It's what they'll be discussing!
[04:40] Rimuru
Which is?
[04:41] Ramiris
Listen. Walpurgis must be approved by
three Demon Lords before it can be held.
[04:46] Ramiris
And the ones who gave Clayman
the approval this time...
[04:49] Ramiris
were Frey and Milim.
[04:53] Rimuru
Milim, huh?
[04:55] Albis
Frey...
[04:58] Ramiris
And the topic will be the birth of a
new power in the Great Forest of Jura,
[05:02] Ramiris
one whose leader proclaims
himself a Demon Lord!
[05:05] Ramiris
Did you really proclaim
yourself a Demon Lord?
[05:09] Rimuru
I don't regret it, and I haven't looked back.
[05:11] Ramiris
Knowing you, that's not too surprising.
[05:14] Ramiris
It's probably going to
bring you a lot of trouble,
[05:16] Ramiris
but with the power you
have, you should be fine.
[05:20] Rimuru
So is Clayman's goal to sanction me?
[05:23] Ramiris
In this business, it's an unspoken rule that
you're free to sanction whoever you want.
[05:28] Rimuru
"Business"?
[05:30] Ramiris
He said his reason for proposing
that we hold Walpurgis
[05:34] Ramiris
was because of Demon Lord Carrion's betrayal.
[05:37] Phobio
What does that mean?!
[05:39] Ramiris
Who are you people?
[05:41] Rimuru
They're the Three Beastketeers
who serve Carrion.
[05:44] Ramiris
Huh...
[05:46] Ramiris
Well, it won't do you any
good to be mad at me.
[05:49] Albis
What betrayal does he claim
Lord Carrion has committed?
[05:52] Ramiris
He broke the non-aggression pact
with the Great Forest of Jura
[05:56] Ramiris
and informed you that the majin called
Mjurran worked for Clayman, right?
[06:00] Rimuru
And then I killed Mjurran, huh?
[06:09] Rimuru
I see. Is Clayman hoping to take
control over the Forest of Jura?
[06:12] Ramiris
You know, you're acting so
calm, but this is a huge deal!
[06:16] Ramiris
Carrion was apparently defeated by Milim,
[06:19] Ramiris
and Clayman has ordered all
of his majin to deploy!
[06:22] Rimuru
Deploy? So he's already on the move?
[06:26] Rimuru
Damn you, Clayman...
You're more cunning than I thought.
[06:30] Ramiris
I'm telling you, this is
no time to be so calm!
[06:36] Rimuru
Relax, would you?
For one thing, I didn't kill Mjurran.
[06:41] Ramiris
What does that mean?
[06:42] Rimuru
It means Clayman is just making it all up.
[06:45] Ramiris
And can you prove that?
[06:56] Mjurran
Um, Demon Lord Ramiris...
[06:59] Mjurran
The majin he allegedly killed is me.
[07:02] Ramiris
Eh?
[07:03] Mjurran
I am Mjurran.
[07:05] Ramiris
Huh?
[07:17] Ramiris
I get it! So the bad guy is Clayman!
[07:21] Ramiris
Clayman! You thought you could fool even me!
[07:24] Ramiris
But Great Detective Ramiris cannot be fooled!
[07:28] Ramiris
I'm the Queen of Spirits,
[07:29] Ramiris
and despite how I look, I possess
the wisdom of many long years!
[07:32] Ramiris
In the name of my grandma!
[07:35] Ramiris
Well, say something! Who're you
calling "grandma"?! How rude!
[07:37] Rimuru
Something seems to have
influenced her pretty easily...
[07:40] Rimuru
Hey, Ramiris, there's one
thing I want to ask you.
[07:44] Ramiris
What is it? You can ask
Great Detective Ramiris anything.
[07:48] Rimuru
Clayman made his move after
taking the bait I offered him,
[07:51] Rimuru
the killing of Mjurran.
[07:53] Rimuru
What do you think the
other Demon Lords will do?
[07:58] Ramiris
Huh? I don't know.
[08:00] Ramiris
I was just told that Walpurgis is happening
because of this or that reason,
[08:02] Ramiris
and that I have to be there.
[08:05] Rimuru
When is Walpurgis? Do you know the exact day?
[08:09] Ramiris
Well, um... one, two...
[08:12] Ramiris
Three days from now,
the night of the new moon.
[08:14] Rimuru
That's pretty soon.
[08:16] Rimuru
It'd be tough to take out
Clayman in just three days.
[08:19] Rimuru
So I guess the battle would have
to take place after Walpurgis?
[08:23] Rimuru
Why did you come to tell me about this?
[08:25] Ramiris
Well, if you're killed...
[08:29] Ramiris
We don't know what'll happen
to my Beretta, right?
[08:31] Beretta
Thank you for your concern.
[08:34] Ramiris
The point is, I'm here because I
made up my mind to take your side!
[08:38] Ramiris
So you don't mind if I make an
entrance to my Labyrinth here, right?
[08:42] Rimuru
Yes, I do mind!
[08:44] Ramiris
Aww!
[08:45] Ramiris
C'mon! Don't sweat the little details!
[08:48] Rimuru
I will sweat them, and so should you!
[08:51] Ramiris
Fine. I'll keep reading.
[08:52] Rimuru
Hey!
[08:54] Rimuru
It looked as if our meeting
wasn't over after all,
[08:58] Rimuru
so we decided to take a break for a while.
[09:05] Ramiris
That tickles!
[09:07] Ramiris
Hey, stop!
[09:10] Ramiris
I can do it myself!
[09:11] Treyni
Now, Lady Ramiris, don't be shy.
[09:14] Trya
Yes, please allow us to wash you.
[09:19] Treyni
Do you itch anywhere?
[09:21] Trya
Now it's my turn.
[09:23] Rimuru
Trya-san's here, too?
[09:25] Rimuru
Sounds like they're having fun over there.
[09:28] Rimuru
I should've gone over to that side.
[09:35] Erald
Ah, this feels great.
[09:40] Gazel
Yes, it's just perfect.
[09:44] Gazel
Wait, you can feel this
with a homunculus body?
[09:51] Erald
Eren, sweetie! How does the water feel?
[10:00] Erald
Aw, she's being shy.
[10:07] Erald
Oh, by the way, Master Rimuru...
[10:08] Rimuru
Yes?
[10:10] Erald
If we build a road to directly
connect Tempest to my nation,
[10:14] Erald
it would be easier to travel between the two.
[10:16] Erald
What do you say?
[10:18] Rimuru
Is he saying we should be
the ones to build the road?
[10:22] Gazel
Erald, that's asking too much.
[10:26] Rimuru
I'm pretty sure we were the ones who did all
the work on the road to the Dwarven Kingdom...
[10:31] Erald
It'd be one thing to have Master Rimuru say
that, but I don't want to hear it from you!
[10:35] Rimuru
Well said!
[10:40] Rimuru
Uh, yeah. I get what you're saying.
[10:43] Rimuru
We're willing to take up the
task of building the road.
[10:46] Rimuru
But...
[10:47] Erald
But?
[10:49] Rimuru
I'd like you to let us take care of guarding
the road and running all lodging on it, too.
[10:53] Rimuru
Naturally, that means we'd have to
collect a toll to cover those costs.
[10:58] Erald
I see.
[10:59] Erald
That seems like a reasonable demand.
[11:02] Erald
But I would like you to give us the right
[11:04] Erald
to negotiate the amount of
that toll every few years.
[11:08] Rimuru
Okay! We'll go with that!
[11:10] Fuze
That was easy!
[11:11] Gazel
He really does ask too much.
[11:13] Erald
I told you, I don't want
to hear that from you!
[11:16] Erald
Well, that settles it, then.
[11:40] Ramiris
Don't you... rust?
[12:01] Rimuru
Are we all here?
[12:02] Ramiris
Hey! What's the idea?!
[12:04] Ramiris
What the heck is this all about?!
[12:06] Rimuru
What do you mean?
[12:07] Ramiris
These girls are fawning over me like crazy!
[12:10] Ramiris
What's the idea?!
[12:11] Rimuru
Isn't that a good thing?
[12:13] Ramiris
It was good!
[12:15] Ramiris
It was incredible!
[12:17] Ramiris
Which is why, Rimuru,
I've decided to live here!
[12:21] Rimuru
I told you not to make
that decision on your own.
[12:23] Rimuru
Also, Treyni-san and her sisters are
the Great Forest of Jura's caretakers.
[12:28] Rimuru
They don't live here,
[12:30] Rimuru
and they can't spend all
their time coddling you.
[12:32] Ramiris
Stingy! Stingy! Stingy!
[12:34] Ramiris
What's the problem?
[12:35] Ramiris
Whatever happens, the great
Ramiris will help them!
[12:39] Rimuru
Listen...
[12:41] Treyni
Great Rimuru, we will
look after Lady Ramiris.
[12:45] Trya
Please consider the proposal
in a favorable light.
[12:48] Both
We humbly ask this of you.
[12:51] Rimuru
Okay. I'll think about it.
[12:53] Ramiris
Really?!
[12:54] Ramiris
That's my Rimuru! I knew you'd understand!
[12:58] Rimuru
Well, go ahead and eat up.
[13:00] Rimuru
We'll talk while we eat.
[13:03] Trya
Here you go.
[13:06] Gazel
Ah, delicious.
[13:09] Erald
Truly exquisite.
[13:14] Veldora
Don't mind if I do!
[13:18] Rimuru
With this meeting dragging on,
I'm sure you're all tired,
[13:21] Rimuru
but try to bear with it.
[13:23] Rimuru
By the way, Shion, I heard you were
interrogating the war prisoners.
[13:26] Rimuru
Did you get any information?
[13:30] Shion
Of course, Great Rimuru.
[13:38] Youm
Uh... Interrogation? Questioning?
[13:41] Youm
Whatever it was, they did talk to us, yeah.
[13:46] Mjurran
Yes... but it definitely
wasn't an interrogation.
[13:50] Mjurran
I'd hesitate to even call it questioning.
[13:55] Shion
First, Ed... Ednight? Ed...
[13:59] Shuna
Do you mean King Edmaris?
[14:01] Shion
Yes. Among them was a merchant who
came in contact with King Edmaris.
[14:06] Shion
This merchant brought silk goods
and such from our country into his,
[14:09] Shion
which piqued the king's greed.
[14:12] Shion
He feared that the primary source of goods
in circulation would shift from Falmuth to here,
[14:17] Shion
which seems to have led to this incident.
[14:20] Rimuru
Do you know who this merchant is?
[14:22] Rimuru
Were they chartered or something?
[14:24] Shion
That, I don't know. I'm very sorry.
[14:27] Rimuru
Okay. So, anyone connected
to the Western Holy Church?
[14:31] Shion
Yes! I found out who the mastermind was!
[14:34] Shion
His name is... uh, the
ringleader is... Nickelspoo...
[14:40] Mjurran
According to what Archbishop Reyhiem told us,
[14:43] Mjurran
the ringleader is Cardinal Nikolaus Spertus.
[14:46] Shion
Exactly!
[14:47] Mjurran
The cardinal plans to subjugate this
nation as one hostile to their god.
[14:53] Shion
That's what he said!
[14:55] Fuze
I see.
[14:56] Fuze
Archbishop Reyhiem hoped to
earn a favorable reputation
[15:00] Fuze
by claiming the glory of
subjugating enemies of God.
[15:03] Rimuru
If he "plans" to do that,
[15:05] Rimuru
there might still be a way to negotiate
with the Western Holy Church.
[15:10] Fuze
In that case, I will try to shake them up.
[15:14] Gazel
And Dwargon will make a grand
declaration of our trade with Tempest.
[15:19] Erald
And Thalion will officially announce its
establishment of diplomatic relations with Tempest.
[15:25] Erald
If other countries start to show interest,
[15:28] Erald
the Western Holy Church will
have to tread carefully.
[15:32] Rimuru
Okay. I'm counting on you guys.
[15:34] Fuze
Leave it all to us.
[15:39] Veldora
Thank you for the meal.
[15:40] Rimuru
So we're going to say Youm rescued
those three war prisoners
[15:45] Rimuru
and give them what looks
like a triumphant return...
[15:47] Rimuru
Wait... King Edmaris, Archbishop Reyhiem...
[15:51] Rimuru
Who's the third one?
[15:53] Shion
That man who was seized by terror.
[15:56] Gazel
The last man still alive?
[15:59] Gazel
That would have to be Folgen,
the captain of the knights.
[16:02] Rimuru
You're the one who captured him, right?
[16:04] Rimuru
What kind of guy was he?
[16:06] Rimuru
Think it'd be safe to let him go free?
[16:09] Diablo
He was a weakling who will cause no problems.
[16:12] Diablo
Though he did seem to be relatively
skilled with magic, for a human.
[16:15] Gazel
He's a magic user?
[16:18] Gazel
That probably isn't Folgen, then.
[16:21] Rimuru
What's his name?
[16:22] Shion
Ramen.
[16:23] Rimuru
Ramen, huh?
[16:24] Rimuru
Come to think of it, I haven't
had ramen in years now...
[16:29] Fuze
Was there a magic user
in Falmuth named Ramen?
[16:32] Erald
Falmuth did have a majin
named Razen who used magic.
[16:37] Shion
Huh?
[16:38] Gazel
The champion Razen, eh?
[16:40] Gazel
He is a man one must not forget.
[16:42] Shion
Huh?
[16:43] Albis
He's the man known as the guardian
of Falmuth and the Wise Majin.
[16:48] Shion
Huh?
[16:49] Suphia
The man who's mastered magic!
[16:51] Suphia
I always wanted to fight him just once!
[16:53] Phobio
Well, I'm sure I'd beat him in close combat,
[16:57] Phobio
but he's definitely a human you
can't let your guard down around.
[17:01] Rimuru
Shion, you're sure this guy's name is Ramen?
[17:05] Shion
Um... I think so...
[17:07] Shion
But he was a young man.
[17:09] Shion
That's right! He was one of the
people who attacked this town!
[17:13] Shion
He's not the magic user they all say he is!
[17:16] Rimuru
What's going on here?
[17:18] Raphael
Notice.
[17:19] Raphael
Using a secret soul magic ritual allows one
[17:21] Raphael
to possess another's body.
[17:24] Rimuru
Wait, does that mean "Ramen" is...
[17:26] Mjurran
U-Um...
[17:28] Mjurran
It's Razen. That's the prisoner's name.
[17:31] Rimuru
Yep, knew it!
[17:36] Gazel
You captured the champion who carried
the Kingdom of Falmuth for centuries?
[17:42] Erald
He was a human whose skill
as a wizard rivaled my own,
[17:44] Erald
or was perhaps even more extraordinary...
[17:49] Rimuru
And you beat him that easily?
You really are strong.
[17:54] Rimuru
Okay... Youm.
[17:55] Youm
Y-Yeah?
[17:56] Rimuru
You're going to be taking
King Edmaris, Archbishop Reyhiem,
[17:59] Rimuru
and Razen back home to
get our plan rolling...
[18:03] Rimuru
and you'll take Diablo, too.
[18:04] Diablo
What?
[18:08] Rimuru
We're going to start a war against Clayman.
[18:11] Rimuru
Since Veldora is staying
to protect the town for us,
[18:14] Rimuru
I wasn't sure who I could
send to back up Youm's group,
[18:17] Rimuru
but you're perfect.
[18:18] Rimuru
I'm counting on you.
[18:20] Diablo
Yes... Understood, Great Rimuru.
[18:24] Rimuru
This might take a few years.
Don't rush things, okay?
[18:27] Diablo
Not a problem.
[18:29] Diablo
I will take care of it
and return here promptly.
[18:32] Rimuru
That's some confidence in our
ability to destroy a nation...
[18:36] Rimuru
But that's exactly why I
can trust him with this.
[18:40] Rimuru
Now, as for our war against Clayman...
[18:44] Rimuru
Ramiris-kun here has informed
me that I'm his target.
[18:50] Ramiris
Ahem!
[18:51] Both
Well done, Lady Ramiris!
[19:00] Rimuru
Soei.
[19:01] Soei
Yes?
[19:02] Rimuru
Give me a report on what
Clayman's army is doing.
[19:04] Soei
At once. His army...
[19:11] Soei
numbers about 30,000.
[19:13] Soei
They are currently organizing within
Demon Lord Milim's territory.
[19:18] Rimuru
Thirty thousand, huh?
That's not more than we can handle.
[19:21] Soei
It appears the army is not
being led by Clayman himself.
[19:25] Rimuru
Oh?
[19:26] Soei
The one in the army with
the most magicules is...
[19:32] Rimuru
So that's their commander?
[19:34] Mjurran
The Middle Finger, Yamza.
[19:36] Rimuru
Middle Finger?
[19:37] Mjurran
Yes. The strongest of Clayman's subordinates
are known as the Five Fingers.
[19:43] Mjurran
The Middle Finger, Yamza;
[19:45] Mjurran
The Index Finger, Adalmann;
[19:46] Mjurran
the Thumb, Nine Head;
[19:48] Mjurran
the Pinky Finger, Pirone...
[19:52] Mjurran
and I was the Ring Finger.
[19:56] Mjurran
Yamza received a magic sword with
hidden ice powers from Clayman.
[20:01] Mjurran
He's known as the Magic Swordsman of Ice.
[20:03] Rimuru
The Magic Swordsman of Ice, huh?
[20:06] Mjurran
He's cruel, and he plays dirty.
[20:07] Mjurran
He's practically a master of immorality,
[20:10] Mjurran
but his skills are the real deal.
[20:12] Mjurran
Since he swore loyalty to Clayman on his own,
[20:16] Mjurran
he and I didn't get along.
[20:19] Mjurran
He's the strongest majin
among the Five Fingers.
[20:21] Rimuru
I see.
[20:23] Rimuru
But it doesn't seem like
we have too much to fear.
[20:27] Rimuru
Clayman is the prudent type.
[20:29] Rimuru
I'm sure he knows that the Animal Kingdom's
Warrior Brigade is here in our city.
[20:34] Rimuru
Given that, an army of 30,000 is too weak.
[20:37] Albis
It does seem strange.
[20:39] Phobio
Yeah, that's true.
[20:43] Benimaru
Perhaps Clayman's target is not this city?
[20:48] Rimuru
I see. That's possible.
[20:51] Rimuru
I was convinced he was coming after Tempest,
[20:54] Rimuru
but if he's not...
SIGN Animal Kingdom
of Eurazania
[20:59] Rimuru
The Animal Kingdom?
[21:02] Suphia
Are you saying it's Eurazania he's after?!
[21:04] Suphia
But the capital's been destroyed,
[21:06] Suphia
and only refugees remain in the
surrounding towns and villages...
[21:10] Phobio
Why would he do that?
[21:13] Raphael
Answer.
SIGN Answer
[21:14] Raphael
One can speculate that Demon Lord Clayman's
goal is to awaken as a True Demon Lord.
SIGN True Demon Lord Awakening
[21:20] Raphael
But his methods are immature.
[21:23] Raphael
His plan to snuff out the light
of life in Eurazania seems
[21:27] Raphael
based on an inaccurate inference.
[21:30] Rimuru
Most likely...
[21:32] Rimuru
he plans to massacre the remaining refugees
[21:34] Rimuru
so he can awaken as a True Demon Lord.
[21:42] Albis
Clayman must know that the Three Beastketeers
[21:45] Albis
and Carrion's main army
are taking refuge here.
[21:49] Benimaru
That gives him the perfect opportunity
to overrun the Animal Kingdom.
[21:52] Soei
Clayman's army will likely reach
Eurazania within two days.
[21:57] Suphia
Damn it! We can't get back there in time!
[22:00] Rimuru
He got a step ahead of us...
[22:03] Rimuru
Damn that Clayman.
SIGN The Eve of Battle
[23:37] Raphael
Next time, "The Eve of Battle."
