**[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.

**[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.
