[00:15] Diablo
    Magnificent, Great Rimuru.
[00:18] Diablo
    What a truly beautiful technique that was.
[00:20] Shion
    Yes, it truly was! It captivated me!
[00:23] Veldora
    Rimuru! Sure you don't want
    me to go and kick them around?
[00:26] Rimuru
    I told you...
[00:28] Rimuru
    I want to keep you a secret
    until Walpurgis starts.
[00:32] Rimuru
    If you cause a commotion,
    we'll be found out instantly.
[00:38] Veldora
    Of course! It completely slipped my mind!
[00:41] Rimuru
    Well, stop letting things slip!
[00:43] Rimuru
    Don't do anything you're not
    asked to do! Understand?!
[00:48] Rimuru
    Benimaru's forces headed to the
    Animal Kingdom of Eurazania
[00:52] Rimuru
    to fight Clayman's army.
[00:56] Rimuru
    In addition, Gazel's group headed for Dwargon,
[01:00] Rimuru
    Erald's group returned to Thalion...
[01:03] Rimuru
    and Youm's gang set off to take over Falmuth.
[01:08] Diablo
    I will return promptly. Do not worry.
[01:11] Rimuru
    You can take your time.
[01:14] Diablo
    I will return promptly. Do not worry.
[01:16] Rimuru
    Dude, taking over a country
    isn't gonna be that easy...
[01:22] Rimuru
    Well...
[01:24] Rimuru
    We need to start getting ready, too...
[01:26] Rimuru
    for Walpurgis.
SIGN    That Time I Got
    Reincarnated as a Slime
SIGN    Episode 42: The Demon Lords
[02:59] Clayman
    No one is there?
[03:01] Yamza
    Correct. The Animal Kingdom of
    Eurazania is completely deserted.
[03:06] Clayman
    How?
[03:11] Clayman
    Well, no matter.
[03:13] Clayman
    Investigate the area thoroughly.
[03:15] Clayman
    Find them.
[03:16] Yamza
    Yes, sir.
[03:18] Yamza
    And there's one more thing...
[03:21] Yamza
    One of the soldiers heard something
    interesting from a peddler we met during our march.
[03:27] Clayman
    Something interesting?
[03:28] Yamza
    Yes. He said the Storm Dragon
    Veldora has returned.
[03:36] Clayman
    Veldora?
[03:38] Yamza
    He said Falmuth's forces were collateral
    damage in Veldora's resurrection.
[03:44] Clayman
    So it was the Storm Dragon's doing?
[03:46] Yamza
    Yes. And since he has only
    just been resurrected,
[03:49] Yamza
    he is missing the majority of his energy.
[03:53] Clayman
    I see.
[03:55] Clayman
    So the reason I lost contact with Pirone
    and the marionettes I sent to Falmuth
[04:00] Clayman
    is because they were caught up in
    the chaos of Veldora's resurrection.
[04:03] Clayman
    I knew there was no way a mere
    slime could defeat Falmuth's army.
[04:08] Clayman
    And right now, defeating the
    Evil Dragon will be a simple task.
[04:13] Clayman
    I could even make him one of my pawns...
[04:17] Clayman
    Yamza, thank you for the report.
[04:19] Clayman
    Keep up the good work.
[04:21] Yamza
    Yes, sir.
[04:23] Clayman
    And to think I nearly fell for his bluff.
[04:28] Clayman
    But the truth cannot be hidden.
[04:32] Clayman
    Slime borrowing the Evil Dragon's
    authority, you should feel honored.
[04:36] Clayman
    I am going to crush you
    with my own two hands!
[04:41] (Flashback) Laplace
    Don't overestimate your control
    over Demon Lord Milim.
[04:45] (Flashback) Laplace
    Don't let your guard down around her.
[04:51] Clayman
    Don't you worry, Laplace.
[04:53] Clayman
    I will win.
[05:20] (Flashback) Milim
    Hey, Frey! It's another
    gorgeous day out there!
[05:24] (Flashback) Milim
    I guess it's a bit hot, though!
[05:26] (Flashback) Milim
    Whew, so hot!
[05:28] (Flashback) Frey
    Milim?
[05:30] (Flashback) Frey
    You seem to be in quite a good mood.
[05:32] (Flashback) Frey
    Did something good happen?
[05:35] (Flashback) Milim
    You can tell?! Actually...
[05:38] (Flashback) Milim
    Take a look!
[05:44] (Flashback) Frey
    Oh, my. They suit you so well.
    Where did you get them?
[05:47] (Flashback) Milim
    You want to know?!
[05:49] (Flashback) Milim
    Now, what to do?
[05:51] (Flashback) Milim
    I could tell you, but...
[05:53] (Flashback) Milim
    Oh, what to do?
[05:56] (Flashback) Frey
    Still such a troublesome girl...
[05:59] (Flashback) Frey
    Milim, are we not friends?
[06:01] (Flashback) Frey
    Surely you can tell me.
[06:03] (Flashback) Milim
    Oh, yeah! You are my friend,
    aren't you, Frey?!
[06:06] (Flashback) Milim
    Okay, I'll tell you! You see...
[06:09] (Flashback) Milim
    So now you know!
[06:11] (Flashback) Milim
    My bestie, Rimuru, gave them to me!
[06:14] (Flashback) Milim
    Oh, "bestie" means someone who's
    the best of all your friends!
[06:17] (Flashback) Frey
    I see. Good for you.
[06:21] (Flashback) Frey
    By the way, Milim...
[06:23] (Flashback) Frey
    As your friend, I have a
    present for you, as well.
[06:26] (Flashback) Frey
    Would you kindly accept it?
[06:29] (Flashback) Milim
    Oh, it's a pendant! I can have this?
[06:33] (Flashback) Milim
    But...
[06:35] (Flashback) Milim
    I'm not giving you these knuckles!
[06:38] (Flashback) Frey
    It's all right, Milim.
[06:40] (Flashback) Frey
    This is a symbol of our friendship.
[06:42] (Flashback) Frey
    It's only a token. It would make
    me very happy if you'd wear it.
[06:48] (Flashback) Milim
    Well, in that case, I will!
[06:50] (Flashback) Frey
    I'll put it on you.
[07:00] (Flashback) Milim
    That tickles.
[07:02] (Flashback) Frey
    Just hold still.
[07:19] (Flashback) Frey
    Will that do, Clayman?
[07:23] (Flashback) Clayman
    Good work.
[07:25] (Flashback) Clayman
    The forbidden magic,
    Demon Marionette, has been activated.
[07:29] (Flashback) Clayman
    Now I've acquired the
    strongest puppet of all.
[07:41] (Flashback) Clayman
    This is what you get
[07:42] (Flashback) Clayman
    for underestimating me by
    calling me a rookie Demon Lord!
[07:45] (Flashback) Clayman
    You look pathetic, Milim!
[07:52] (Flashback) Frey
    You should stop doing that.
[07:55] (Flashback) Clayman
    Hah! This is not some weak
    magic that will be undone
[07:58] (Flashback) Clayman
    if she takes a bit of damage!
[08:00] (Flashback) Clayman
    You must be fed up with her
    condescending attitude, as well, right?
[08:04] (Flashback) Clayman
    That's why you agreed
    to take part in my plan!
[08:07] (Flashback) Clayman
    Am I wrong?
[08:09] (Flashback) Frey
    You are.
[08:10] (Flashback) Frey
    I was only fulfilling the
    promise I made to you.
[08:14] (Flashback) Clayman
    How shameless you are!
[08:17] (Flashback) Clayman
    She's no more than a doll now!
[08:19] (Flashback) Clayman
    There's no need to hold anything back!
[08:25] Frey
    So that's how you really feel, then?
[08:27] Frey
    Such an unsightly man.
[08:29] (Flashback) Frey
    Say, Clayman...
[08:30] (Flashback) Frey
    You don't seem to realize this,
[08:32] (Flashback) Frey
    but Milim has a self-defense circuit.
[08:35] (Flashback) Clayman
    What? A self-defense circuit?
[08:38] (Flashback) Frey
    It's called "Stampede."
[08:40] (Flashback) Frey
    It causes her to lose all control.
[08:42] (Flashback) Frey
    If you want to die that
    way, it's your choice,
[08:45] (Flashback) Frey
    but I don't want any part in it.
[08:48] (Flashback) Clayman
    Tch.
[08:49] (Flashback) Clayman
    She is an absolute joke of a Demon Lord.
[08:52] (Flashback) Clayman
    Well, no matter. Using her will
    give me a more influential voice.
[08:57] (Flashback) Clayman
    And you are complicit.
[08:58] (Flashback) Clayman
    I will make sure you work
    your hardest for me.
[09:02] (Flashback) Frey
    Oh?
[09:03] (Flashback) Frey
    But I'm quite certain you
    and I are on equal footing.
[09:05] (Flashback) Clayman
    Fool! I'm the one who came up with this plan!
[09:09] (Flashback) Clayman
    You are already my pawn.
[09:12] (Flashback) Clayman
    Or...
[09:14] (Flashback) Clayman
    Would you like to try fighting Milim?
[09:18] (Flashback) Frey
    Are you threatening me?
[09:22] (Flashback) Clayman
    You're free to take that however you like.
[09:25] (Flashback) Clayman
    If you don't want to die,
    you'd best not anger me.
[09:31] (Flashback) Frey
    Fine. I understand.
[09:32] (Flashback) Clayman
    Very good.
[09:33] (Flashback) Clayman
    I strongly suggest you do not betray me.
[09:36] (Flashback) Clayman
    If you will grant me one tiny favor,
[09:39] (Flashback) Clayman
    I can guarantee you the title
    of Ruler of the Heavens,
[09:42] (Flashback) Clayman
    Sky Queen Frey.
[09:55] Frey
    He is unable to see the
    true nature of things.
[09:59] Frey
    Along with the new moon,
    Walpurgis Night will begin.
[10:03] Frey
    Clayman, it would seem you
    are not long for this world.
[10:23] Mizeri
    Lord of Darkness,
[10:25] Mizeri
    Demon Lord Guy Crimson, we bear a message.
[10:30] Mizeri
    Demon Lord Leon Cromwell has arrived.
[11:16] Guy
    Long time no see, my friend, the Platinum
    Devil, Demon Lord Leon Cromwell.
[11:22] Guy
    Or should I call you Platinum Saber?
[11:25] Leon
    Call me what you want.
[11:27] Guy
    Have you been well?
[11:29] Guy
    I appreciate you responding to my summons.
[11:32] Guy
    You have my thanks.
[11:41] Leon
    Stop! I told you, I'm not into that!
[11:46] Guy
    Still such a boring guy, I see.
[11:48] Guy
    If you want, I could assume a woman's
    appearance and let you make love to me.
[11:53] Leon
    Shut up.
[11:55] Guy
    Fine. Let's talk elsewhere.
[12:02] Leon
    So why have you called me here?
[12:06] Guy
    As you know, the Demon Lords'
    banquet, Walpurgis, is to be held.
[12:11] Guy
    I want you to be there this time,
    even if I have to force you.
[12:14] Leon
    It's unusual for you to try to coerce me.
[12:17] Guy
    I'm making sure you show up this time,
    even if it means I owe you one.
[12:25] Leon
    Why is that?
[12:27] Guy
    Still as cautious as ever, aren't you?
[12:30] Guy
    Fine. I'll explain.
[12:34] Guy
    The one who proposed Walpurgis
    this time was Clayman.
[12:37] Guy
    He's a small fry.
[12:39] Guy
    But for some reason, Milim's name
    was among those in agreement.
[12:43] Guy
    Milim is one of the oldest and
    strongest Demon Lords, along with me.
[12:47] Guy
    She wouldn't just do whatever
    a whelp like Clayman wants.
[12:51] Guy
    Which means...
[12:52] Leon
    Carrion's death is suspicious, as well.
[12:56] Guy
    Hey, so you do get it.
[12:58] Leon
    Clayman went too far.
[13:00] Leon
    He was harassing me in order
    to avoid leaving any evidence,
[13:04] Leon
    but I can't let this slide.
[13:06] Leon
    Whether Carrion is alive or not,
[13:08] Leon
    the fact that Milim has
    taken action is troubling.
[13:12] Guy
    This might just be another game to Milim,
[13:14] Guy
    but disturbing the balance between the
    Demon Lords won't bring fun times.
[13:18] Guy
    It'll create more work for me.
[13:21] Leon
    Do you think Clayman is manipulating Milim?
[13:24] Guy
    Thinking about Milim won't do any good.
[13:26] Guy
    Clever people such as I can't
    comprehend the thoughts of fools.
[13:30] Guy
    It's one of my very few weak points.
[13:34] Guy
    But if you're curious about that...
[13:37] Guy
    Leon, you'll be participating, too, right?
[13:41] Leon
    I intend to.
[13:42] Leon
    I despise conspiracies,
    but I have no other choice.
[13:46] Guy
    Oh, yeah? Glad to hear it.
[13:50] Guy
    If you were reluctant, I was going to offer
    to let you hold me throughout the night.
[13:55] Leon
    No, thank you.
[13:56] Guy
    You're no fun.
[13:59] Guy
    You're really no fun, you know that?
[14:03] Guy
    Do you know anything about
    the one they call Rimuru?
[14:07] Leon
    According to Clayman,
    he gives Demon Lords a bad name.
[14:10] Leon
    I personally feel that if this Rimuru
    is indeed capable, there's no problem.
[14:16] Guy
    So you say he's qualified to be a Demon Lord?
[14:19] Guy
    As for me, I think anyone Ramiris takes an
    interest in has the potential to be entertaining.
[14:24] Leon
    Ramiris, you say?
[14:26] Leon
    I don't like that fairy. She pokes
    fun at me every time we meet.
[14:29] Leon
    I've thought of strangling
    her so many times...
[14:34] Guy
    Don't do that.
[14:35] Guy
    If you kill Ramiris,
    I'll end up being your enemy.
[14:38] Leon
    I assume so.
[14:40] Leon
    I wouldn't really do it.
[14:41] Leon
    I'm not about to pick a fight
    with you knowing I can't win.
[14:44] Guy
    Hmm? That's not true.
[14:46] Guy
    You could probably kill me
    once out of a million tries.
[14:50] Leon
    It's not worth discussing.
[14:51] Leon
    I'm only interested in fights
    that I know I can win.
[14:55] Guy
    Don't be so modest.
[14:56] Guy
    Just having the slightest chance at
    killing me makes you quite strong, Leon.
[15:02] Leon
    No need to tell me that.
[15:04] Leon
    It's just that you and
    Milim are extraordinary.
[15:08] Leon
    Speaking of extraordinary,
[15:10] Leon
    I hear the Storm Dragon Veldora has awakened.
[15:16] Velzard
    My, my.
[15:17] Velzard
    I am deeply interested in
    hearing more about this.
[15:21] Leon
    I forgot you were here.
[15:24] Leon
    One of only four True Dragons in existence,
[15:27] Leon
    The White Ice Dragon Velzard, Empress of Ice.
[15:31] Velzard
    Oh, you forgot about me?
    You are as cold as ever, I see.
[15:36] Velzard
    But I am happy you came.
[15:39] Leon
    Are you? I consider seeing you
    a feast for my eyes, as well.
[15:45] Guy
    I see you two hate each
    other as much as ever.
[15:48] Guy
    Leon, are you jealous of my partner?
[15:51] Leon
    Be serious.
[15:54] Velzard
    So, Lord Leon, you say my younger
    brother Veldora has awakened?
[15:59] Velzard
    I stopped sensing him about two years ago,
[16:01] Velzard
    so I was convinced he had died.
[16:04] Guy
    Are you sure?
[16:06] Leon
    There is no doubt.
[16:07] Guy
    If the Evil Dragon is back,
    why is he being so quiet?
[16:10] Guy
    Is he so weak that he can't
    recover energy on his own?
[16:14] Velzard
    And who broke his seal?
[16:17] Leon
    According to my spy's report,
[16:19] Leon
    Clayman's scheme is what caused it to happen.
[16:21] Guy
    Clayman, eh?
[16:23] Leon
    He exerted his influence
    over the Kingdom of Falmuth
[16:25] Leon
    and instigated them to destroy
    a nation that Rimuru founded.
[16:29] Guy
    You're so well-informed, Leon.
[16:31] Leon
    Naturally.
[16:32] Leon
    After all, unlike you, I was once a human.
[16:35] Leon
    Also,
[16:37] Leon
    that battlefield was apparently
    where Veldora was sleeping.
[16:39] Leon
    It would seem that when he
    was on the brink of death,
[16:41] Leon
    being bathed in all the blood
    of the battle awakened him.
[16:47] Leon
    Falmuth's army became collateral
    damage of Veldora's revival,
[16:51] Leon
    and that allowed Rimuru to escape disaster.
[16:55] Velzard
    So that's what happened.
[16:57] Velzard
    Then his seal was broken by pure coincidence?
[17:00] Leon
    That, I do not know.
[17:03] Velzard
    I see.
[17:05] Velzard
    It's also possible that the
    Hero's seal was flawed.
[17:09] Leon
    That is possible, but I came
    up with another theory.
[17:13] Velzard
    A theory?
[17:14] Leon
    I don't know why he could
    no longer be sensed,
[17:17] Leon
    but what if he was pulled into a hyperspace
    of someone's creation along with his seal?
[17:23] Guy
    Intriguing!
[17:25] Guy
    That would mean someone broke his seal,
[17:28] Guy
    and that someone would have to
    possess power equal to ours.
[17:33] Leon
    I'm only saying it's a possibility.
[17:36] Guy
    And you think that someone
    is Rimuru, don't you, Leon?
[17:40] Leon
    Precisely.
[17:42] Guy
    I see. If that's true, we definitely
    need to figure out who he is.
[17:47] Guy
    Clayman's violent acts,
    Milim's strange behavior,
[17:50] Guy
    Rimuru's evolution to Demon Lord,
    and Veldora's return...
[17:54] Guy
    If all of these things are connected...
[18:00] Guy
    This Walpurgis should be
    quite entertaining, indeed.
[18:05] Guy
    But why is Veldora being so quiet?
[18:13] Velzard
    It seems he is weak.
[18:15] Velzard
    His presence is so faint, it's as if
    he's not the same being he was before.
[18:20] Velzard
    Still, it is strange that
    he isn't going on a rampage.
[18:23] Velzard
    It always seemed as if rampaging
    was his reason for living.
[18:27] Leon
    Well, that makes no difference to me.
[18:31] Leon
    If you two want to make an
    ally of Veldora, feel free.
[18:36] Guy
    Leaving already?
[18:37] Leon
    Yes. You've said what you wanted
    to say to me, haven't you?
[18:40] Guy
    Now, just wait. There's no
    need to be in such a hurry.
[18:43] Guy
    Do you think you'll be able to achieve your
    true goal of summoning a specific target?
[18:48] Leon
    Not yet. There has been some interference.
[18:53] Guy
    Interference?
[18:54] Leon
    Apparently, someone saved the children
    who were merely awaiting death,
[18:58] Leon
    before I could take them in.
[19:00] Guy
    Oh?
[19:01] Leon
    He seemed to be furious to learn that
[19:03] Leon
    multiple nations are summoning
    children from another world,
[19:07] Leon
    so it's possible he'll try to put
    pressure on all of those nations.
[19:11] Leon
    Which means this experiment is over.
[19:13] Guy
    Hm... Can't you just get rid
    of the one who's interfering?
[19:17] Guy
    That should be simple for you.
[19:20] Leon
    The one who's interfering
    is none other than Rimuru.
[19:25] Guy
    What? Do you really think
    that's a coincidence?
[19:29] Leon
    Interesting, no?
[19:30] Leon
    Which is why I wanted to see
    him for myself just once.
[19:34] Guy
    I see. Now I'm even more interested.
[19:38] Guy
    And who knows? Maybe Milim is
    thinking the same thing I am.
[19:42] Guy
    She's dumb, but she's
    surprisingly perceptive.
[19:46] Leon
    Perhaps.
[19:47] Leon
    In any case, this could
    be a chaotic Walpurgis.
[19:51] Guy
    No doubt about it.
[19:53] Guy
    By the way, who is the collaborator
    who's giving you all this information?
[19:58] Leon
    Someone from the empire,
    but I don't know the details.
[20:01] Leon
    He claimed to be a merchant.
[20:04] Guy
    Can you trust him?
[20:06] Leon
    Trust? I don't need to.
[20:09] Leon
    I'm merely using him.
[20:11] Guy
    If that's good enough for
    you, I won't complain.
[20:14] Guy
    Just don't let your guard down.
[20:17] Guy
    If you get yourself killed,
    I'll make you regret it.
[20:20] Leon
    You're worrying about me? How unusual.
[20:24] Leon
    You can relax, Guy. I have no intention
    of dying before I achieve my goal.
[20:28] Guy
    Well, well...
[20:30] Guy
    Is this goal of yours that important to you?
[20:34] Leon
    Yes.
[20:37] Leon
    For me, it takes priority over
    everything else in this world.
[20:42] Guy
    I see. I just might be jealous.
[20:45] Leon
    Don't say things you don't mean.
[20:48] Leon
    But I will heed your warning.
[20:51] Leon
    See you at Walpurgis.
[20:53] Guy
    Sure.
[20:59] Guy
    He's so impatient.
[21:00] Guy
    That's typical Leon, though.
[21:03] Velzard
    Still, for someone as cautious as Leon,
    he's making himself so vulnerable.
[21:08] Velzard
    Shall we look into the matter?
[21:09] Guy
    Don't bother.
[21:13] Guy
    If we go meddling, it'll just anger him.
[21:16] Guy
    I don't want to do anything
    that'll make a friend resent me.
[21:19] Guy
    If he asks me for help,
    we can just help him then.
[21:23] Velzard
    Very well.
[21:24] Guy
    Walpurgis should be fun.
    Want to come with me?
[21:28] Velzard
    Yes, I...
[21:31] Velzard
    No, actually, I won't.
[21:33] Velzard
    I don't mind that my brother will be there,
[21:36] Velzard
    but I have no interest in Demon Lords.
[21:39] Guy
    Okay. Mind looking after things here, then?
[21:42] Velzard
    Of course. Now, if you'll excuse me.
[21:50] Guy
    Interesting.
[21:52] Guy
    For the first time in centuries,
    I can feel my heart racing.
[21:57] Guy
    I have a feeling big changes are coming...
[22:03] Guy
    to Walpurgis.
