***SIGN*** Episode 8: Inherited Will
**[01:32] Shizu**
Slime-san...
**[01:37] Shizu**
Thank you.
**[01:42] Shizu**
I nearly...
**[01:44] Shizu**
killed someone I cared about again.
**[01:50] Shizu**
With my own hands...
**[01:55] Shizu**
Hey, Slime-san...
**[02:00] Shizu**
Would you mind listening?
**[02:02] Rimuru**
You shouldn't talk too much...
**[02:07] Shizu**
I want people to remember my
story... and know that I lived.
**[02:13] Rimuru**
All right.
**[02:17] Rimuru**
* So Shizu-san told me what happened,*
* though her recollection was vague.*
**[02:23] Rimuru**
* She spoke of how Ifrit possessed*
* her after she was summoned,*
**[02:28] Rimuru**
*and how she ended up killing her friend...*
**[02:31] Rimuru**
*And...*
**[02:34] Shizu**
After Pirino died,
**[02:37] Shizu**
I continued to serve the
Demon Lord as his closest aide.
**[02:43] Shizu**
But then I met...
**[02:46] Rimuru**
Met who?
**[02:49] Shizu**
The Hero.
**[02:51] Rimuru**
Hero?
**[02:53] Shizu**
Yes... The Hero.
**[02:59] Shizu**
There was a battle,
**[03:01] Shizu**
and the Demon Lord abandoned his castle,
**[03:03] Shizu**
leaving me behind as the rear guard.
**[03:06] Shizu**
Was it the will of the fire spirit Ifrit,
**[03:10] Shizu**
or was it of my own volition?
**[03:13] Shizu**
I'm still not sure.
**[03:33] (Flashback) Shizu**
I can't beat her...
**[03:37] Rimuru**
The Hero, huh?
**[03:39] Rimuru**
* I don't suppose it was the same*
* one who sealed Veldora...*
**[03:44] Shizu**
I thought I'd be killed instantly...
**[03:48] Shizu**
But then she spoke to me.
**[03:52] Shizu**
She asked me why I was there,
**[03:56] Shizu**
how I had stayed alive...
**[03:59] Shizu**
I was a majin, and she
believed everything I said.
**[04:04] Shizu**
She told me, "It's all right now."
**[04:10] Shizu**
My emotions came back to me.
**[04:14] Shizu**
Then the Hero took me in...
**[04:19] Shizu**
She was the one who gave me that mask.
**[04:23] Shizu**
She said it would boost my magic resistance
**[04:25] Shizu**
and help suppress Ifrit,
the spirit dwelling within me.
**[04:30] Rimuru**
Hang on a sec.
**[04:38] Shizu**
By traveling with her,
**[04:41] Shizu**
I learned about this world,
and I learned magic.
**[04:46] Shizu**
Through the power of the mask, I even
learned to use Ifrit's power, to some extent.
**[04:54] Shizu**
By helping others, and fighting...
**[04:59] Rimuru**
That's how you came to be known
as the Conqueror of Flames.
**[05:03] Rimuru**
Well, that was an awesome attack,
all right! You were on fire!
**[05:10] Shizu**
I was so happy traveling with her.
**[05:17] Shizu**
But...
**[05:19] Rimuru**
But?
**[05:21] Shizu**
Then she disappeared,
**[05:25] Shizu**
leaving me behind.
**[05:28] Rimuru**
Why?
**[05:30] Shizu**
I don't know.
**[05:32] Shizu**
Why did she?
**[05:35] Shizu**
Why...
**[05:38] Shizu**
"I'm certain we'll meet again."
**[05:42] Shizu**
That's what she said to me.
**[05:50] Shizu**
I decided to become stronger.
**[05:55] Shizu**
I wanted to help people who were suffering.
**[06:03] Shizu**
I worked really hard.
**[06:06] Shizu**
For decades!
**[06:08] Shizu**
Doesn't that sound impressive?
**[06:10] Rimuru**
Yeah, it sure does.
**[06:13] Shizu**
People started to call me a Champion...
**[06:16] Shizu**
But I wasn't young anymore.
**[06:21] Shizu**
It was becoming more difficult
for me to control Ifrit.
**[06:26] Shizu**
One wrong step, and I could
unleash Ifrit by mistake.
**[06:32] Shizu**
When I thought about that, I got scared.
**[06:36] Shizu**
I knew I could hurt someone
I cared about again...
**[06:44] Shizu**
So I retired and became an instructor.
**[06:48] Rimuru**
An instructor?
**[06:50] Shizu**
A teacher at a school.
**[06:52] Rimuru**
Oh! There are schools here?
**[06:55] Shizu**
Yes, in a place called
the Kingdom of Engrassia.
**[06:59] Shizu**
It was a school for kids from other worlds.
**[07:01] Rimuru**
Kids? So there must be quite a few people
**[07:03] Rimuru**
who came here from another world, huh?
**[07:07] Shizu**
It was one of them who taught me
that video game line you quoted.
**[07:15] Both**
"I'm not a bad slime!"
**[07:22] Shizu**
It was so much fun.
**[07:27] (Flashback) Kenya**
What're we gonna do today, Sensei?
**[07:29] (Flashback) Shizu**
That's a good question.
What should we do today?
**[07:35] Shizu**
Those days were so peaceful.
**[07:42] Shizu**
Some of them eventually went
off on their own and left me...
**[07:47] Shizu**
But one of them went on
to become the Grandmaster.
**[07:51] Rimuru**
Grandmaster?
**[07:53] Shizu**
The one responsible for overseeing
all the guilds in every country.
**[07:57] Rimuru**
That sounds like a big deal!
**[07:59] Shizu**
Yes, it is.
**[08:02] Shizu**
So I thought there was nothing
left that I could teach anyone.
**[08:07] Shizu**
And then, possibly because I'm
nearing the end of my life,
**[08:10] Shizu**
it became more difficult
to suppress Ifrit's will.
**[08:16] Shizu**
There was only one thing I could remember,
**[08:20] Shizu**
so I decided to go on a journey.
**[08:22] Rimuru**
What did you remember?
**[08:25] Shizu**
My search for the man who summoned me.
**[08:30] Rimuru**
Do you want revenge?
**[08:33] Shizu**
I don't know... but...
**[08:38] Shizu**
There was something I wanted
to find out from him.
**[08:42] Shizu**
That's why I...
**[08:47] Shizu**
They were such nice people.
**[08:50] Shizu**
A little danger-prone, though.
**[08:53] Rimuru**
That's true.
**[08:56] Shizu**
It was so much fun...
**[08:58] Shizu**
But now...
**[09:05] Shizu**
Hey, Slime-san, what's your name?
**[09:09] Rimuru**
Huh? I told you, I'm Rimuru.
**[09:13] Shizu**
No, I mean your real name.
**[09:15] Rimuru**
Oh...
**[09:17] Rimuru**
It's Satoru. Mikami Satoru.
**[09:21] Shizu**
I'm Shizue. Izawa Shizue.
**[09:30] Rimuru**
Shizue-san, you should sleep now.
**[09:34] Shizu**
Satoru-san, I'd like to ask a favor.
**[09:38] Shizu**
May I?
**[09:40] Rimuru**
Of course. Ask me anything.
**[09:46] Shizu**
Please...
**[09:48] Shizu**
eat me.
**[09:52] Shizu**
Just like you ate the curse
that had been cast on me.
**[10:00] Shizu**
That made me so happy.
**[10:05] Shizu**
I dislike this world...
**[10:10] Shizu**
Still, I can't abhor it.
**[10:14] Shizu**
Just like that man...
**[10:17] Shizu**
So... That's why...
**[10:21] Shizu**
I don't want to be absorbed by this world.
**[10:26] Shizu**
This is... my last request.
**[10:32] Shizu**
Would you... let me rest inside you?
**[10:45] Rimuru**
Okay.
**[10:50] Rimuru**
What's the man's name?
**[10:53] Shizu**
Leon Cromwell.
**[10:55] Rimuru**
Leon Cromwell...
**[10:58] Shizu**
One of the most powerful Demon Lords.
**[11:03] Rimuru**
What did you want to find out from him?
**[11:11] Shizu**
I just wanted him to acknowledge that I,
this human, had existed... perhaps.
**[11:20] Shizu**
And... if those kids could be saved...
and returned to... their world...
**[11:31] Rimuru**
I swear to you on the name of
Mikami Satoru... no, Rimuru Tempest,
**[11:37] Rimuru**
that I will make certain the Demon Lord
Leon Cromwell hears your wishes!
**[11:42] Shizu**
Thank... you...
**[11:54] Rimuru**
Shizu-san, my destined one...
**[11:58] Rimuru**
Rest in peace within me.
**[12:02] Great Sage**
*Use unique skill "Predator"?*
***SIGN*** Use unique skill "Predator"?
**[12:07] Rimuru**
Yes.
**[12:09] Rimuru**
* So that she can dream happy dreams forever*
* and never have to wake from them.*
**[12:26] Shizu**
There you are! Please don't
leave me behind again!
**[12:54] Shizu**
Mom!
**[12:59] Shizu**
Mommy!
**[13:04] Shizu**
Mommy...
**[13:10] Eren**
Do you think Shizu is all right?
**[13:13] Kaval**
Don't worry about a thing. Rimuru's with her.
**[13:17] Gido**
That's right. Those potions of his
are miracle workers, remember?
**[13:23] Eren**
Yeah...
**[13:24] Rigurd**
Well, what a surprise.
**[13:26] Rigurd**
Are you here to visit our patient?
**[13:28] Kaval**
Are you, as well?
**[13:29] Rigurd**
Yes. I was just bringing a change
of clothes for Lady Shizu.
**[13:34] Rigurd**
Great Rimuru, may I?
**[13:43] Ranga**
Master!
**[13:46] Rigurd**
That body...
**[13:49] Kaval**
Th-That's... Rimuru?!
**[14:01] Kaval**
I see...
**[14:03] Kaval**
So Shizu passed on.
**[14:10] Gido**
Are you really Rimuru?
**[14:13] Rigurd**
There can be no doubt!
**[14:14] Ranga**
Did you really think I wouldn't recognize
my master just because his body changed?!
**[14:19] Kaval**
Uh, no, I didn't mean it that way...
**[14:22] Kaval**
It's just, well...
**[14:24] Kaval**
You look a bit like a smaller Shizu.
**[14:29] Rimuru**
It's true.
**[14:30] Rimuru**
See?
**[14:36] Kaval**
Wow!
**[14:37] Gido**
That's quite remarkable.
**[14:41] Eren**
Did you eat Shizu?
**[14:43] Eren**
The way you ate Ifrit?
**[14:46] Rimuru**
It was the only burial I could give her.
**[14:50] Rimuru**
I'm sorry I didn't consult you,
her travel companions, first.
**[14:54] Kaval**
Well...
**[14:55] Kaval**
If it's what Shizu wanted,
there was no other choice.
**[15:00] Rimuru**
Sorry, Eren.
**[15:01] Rimuru**
You probably think this was unreasonable.
**[15:06] Eren**
No.
**[15:08] Eren**
I just wish I could have said goodbye to her.
**[15:13] Rimuru**
Shizu-san said she had fun
traveling with you three.
**[15:19] Rimuru**
Though she also said you
were a bit danger-prone.
**[15:23] Kaval**
Hey! Why are you looking at me that way?!
**[15:26] Eren**
Well, you know...
**[15:27] Gido**
Yeah.
**[15:27] Kaval**
Well, what about the time you
got caught in that pitfall?!
**[15:31] Gido**
That was because Eren pushed me!
**[15:34] Eren**
Hey! Don't blame me for that!
**[15:37] Eren**
A spider landed on me out of nowhere!
**[15:37] Rimuru**
* This suits them a lot better*
* than being all sad and somber.*
**[15:39] Eren**
It was Shizu who took the spider off of me.
**[15:42] Gido**
Shizu even helped us look
for traps from then on.
**[15:42] Rimuru**
*Right, Shizu-san?*
**[15:45] Rimuru**
Actually, I'd say they
relied on her too much.
**[15:45] Kaval**
See? It's not just me!
**[15:48] Kaval**
I'm still the leader!
**[15:52] Kaval**
We appreciate all your help.
We'll be on our way now.
**[15:56] Rimuru**
Back to your home country?
**[15:58] Kaval**
Yeah, we need to report to the Guildmaster
**[16:01] Kaval**
about our findings, and about Shizu.
**[16:04] Kaval**
We won't say anything bad about this place.
**[16:07] Eren**
We'll tell him about you, too, Rimuru.
**[16:09] Gido**
If anything comes up,
you can always send for us.
**[16:13] Rimuru**
Thanks. I'll do that.
**[16:20] Kaval**
There's one last favor we'd like to ask...
**[16:23] Rimuru**
What is it?
**[16:25] Kaval**
Could you take your human form again?
**[16:29] Rimuru**
Sure, I suppose...
**[16:40] Rimuru**
So what is it you want?
**[16:43] All**
Thank you so much, Shizu!
**[16:49] Kaval**
I'll strive to be the kind of leader
you won't have to worry about!
**[16:52] Gido**
My time adventuring with you
will be my life's treasure!
**[16:56] Eren**
Thank you!
**[16:58] Eren**
You were like a big sister to me!
**[17:07] Rimuru**
* I'm glad Shizu-san's last travel*
* companions happened to be these three.*
**[17:14] Rimuru**
By the way, I noticed your
gear is looking rather shabby.
**[17:18] Three**
That's mean!
**[17:24] Kaval**
It's the scale mail I've always wanted!
**[17:26] Eren**
Wait! What the heck is this robe?!
**[17:29] Eren**
It's light, but sturdy... and it's so pretty!
**[17:32] Gido**
D-Do we really deserve such fine equipment?
**[17:37] Gido**
It's even lined with Direwolf fur!
**[17:40] Rimuru**
They're parting gifts.
Our artisans' best work!
**[17:43] Gido**
Artisans?
**[17:45] Rimuru**
Yo!
**[17:48] Kaijin**
Our best work?
They're actually just prototypes.
**[17:52] Garm**
How do they feel?
**[17:54] Dord**
It's all about craftsmanship.
**[17:57] Rimuru**
Just speak!
**[18:00] Rimuru**
I'll introduce you. From the right,
this is Kaijin, Garm, Myrd, and Dord.
**[18:04] Kaval**
K-Kaijin?! Are you serious?!
**[18:07] Eren**
The blacksmith who's
world-famous for his skills?!
**[18:10] Gido**
And Garm, Myrd and Dord...
**[18:12] Gido**
The three Dwarf brothers?!
**[18:15] Kaval**
I'll make it my family heirloom!
Thank you so much!
**[18:17] Eren**
I'm so happy!
**[18:19] Gido**
It's like a dream come true!
**[18:21] Rimuru**
I guess Kaijin and his buddies are
even more famous than I thought.
**[18:26] Rimuru**
* They're human national treasures...*
* or is it "dwarven national treasures"?*
**[18:32] Rimuru**
* After raising a fuss big enough*
* to blow their sadness away,*
**[18:36] Rimuru**
*the three of them left.*
**[18:39] Rimuru**
* They're so strong and resilient.*
* I should learn from them.*
**[18:46] Narrator**
* The girl who lost everything*
* to the flames so long ago,*
**[18:49] Narrator**
* oddly enough, gained the*
* power of fire in her travels.*
**[18:55] Narrator**
*She used that power to help the people,*
**[18:59] Narrator**
*but the flames gradually consumed her*
**[19:02] Narrator**
* until, eventually, she could*
* no longer control them.*
**[19:08] Narrator**
*Her name was "Shizue Izawa."*
**[19:11] Narrator**
*She was a Champion whose body housed Ifrit,*
**[19:15] Narrator**
* a high-ranked fire spirit,*
* earning her the title "Conqueror of Flames."*
**[19:34] Rimuru**
*I promised Shizu-san...*
**[19:39] Rimuru**
* Before I can slug the Demon Lord*
* Leon Cromwell who made Shizu-san cry,*
**[19:44] Rimuru**
*I first need to gather information.*
**[19:47] Rimuru**
I'm a man who keeps his promises.
**[19:52] Narrator**
* And that's how the man who thought*
* he had an ordinary, uneventful life*
**[19:57] Narrator**
*and was stabbed on the street and died,*
**[19:59] Narrator**
*was reincarnated in another world,*
**[20:03] Narrator**
*where he inherited the will of both the Storm Dragon, Veldora, and a human woman,*
**[20:09] Narrator**
*giving him new purpose.*
**[20:12] Narrator**
*He was a slime by the name of Rimuru,*
**[20:16] Narrator**
*and the world was about to usher in*
**[20:18] Narrator**
* a turbulent, new era, with this*
* lone slime at the center of it all.*
**[20:24] Rimuru**
Yeah, this feels much more right.
**[21:04] Gelmud**
I will give you a name and some food.
**[21:11] Geld**
Who are you?
**[21:13] Gelmud**
I'm Gelmud. You can think
of me as your father.
**[21:21] Gelmud**
Would you rather die here?
**[21:26] Geld**
Give me a name... and food.
**[21:35] Gelmud**
Your name is Geld.
**[21:38] Geld**
Geld...
**[21:42] Gelmud**
One day, you will take possession
of the Great Forest of Jura
**[21:46] Gelmud**
and become the Orc Disaster.
