Myulan: The Demon Lord Clayman lives up to his alias, "Marionette Master,"
Myulan: by controlling his subordinates' actions.
Myulan: I am one of them.
Myulan: The task he gave me was to investigate Tempest as a spy,
Myulan: so I used Youm to infiltrate this city.
Myulan: Then, according to his orders, I used the great magic spell Anti-Magic Area.
Myulan: Clayman took my heart from me with his secret art, Marionette Heart.
Myulan: Ever since then, my only means of survival has been to obey him.
Rimuru: I see.
Rimuru: So he literally holds the key that determines whether you live or die.
Rimuru: And what made Clayman want to mess with me?
Myulan: He said this to me:
Myulan: "Things are about to get interesting.
Myulan: Though unexpected events led to unforeseen developments,
Myulan: a great w*r is going to break out."
Myulan: I thought he was referring to the Demon Lords Milim and Carrion, at first,
Myulan: but what he meant was that he's starting a w*r between Tempest
Myulan: and the Kingdom of Falmuth.
Rimuru: Clayman...
Rimuru: He controls his pawns as he wishes to avoid getting his own hands dirty.
Rimuru: He's gonna be trouble.
Rimuru: She appears to be a wizard.
Rimuru: In the Anti-Magic Area, she's just an ordinary human.
Rimuru: Is she a sacrificial pawn?
Youm: Master!
Youm: Please forgive Myulan!
Grucius: I'm begging you, too!
Grucius: She couldn't defy the Demon Lord Clayman, that's all!
Rimuru: I'll put Myulan's punishment on hold for now.
Rimuru: She'll be confined in the reception hall until then.
Rigurd: Understood. I will assign guards.
Youm: Master...
Rimuru: Sorry, Youm. My head's all over the place right now, too.
Rimuru: If you're worried, you're free to stay with her.
Rimuru: Is that it for your report?
Benimaru: Yes.
Rimuru: Then I'd like to go visit the wounded.
Rimuru: Take me to them.
Benimaru: Of course.

Title: Episode : Hope
Rimuru: How's he doing?
Shuna: Great Rimuru!
Shuna: The potions aren't working.
Shuna: Since their wounds were caused by skills of a spatial nature,
Shuna: my treatments don't work directly on them.
Rimuru: I see...
Hakurou: Great Rimuru... Do not worry.
Hakurou: Neither I nor this fool pupil of mine
Hakurou: are so weak as to die from wounds such as these.
Rimuru: Hey, I'm not worried.
Rimuru: Let me take a look at your wound.
Rimuru: Great Sage.
Great Sage: Effect of spatial technique confirmed.
Great Sage: Would you like to Predate this effect using Gluttony?
Rimuru: Obviously, yes.
Gobta: H-Huh?
Gobta: I'm saved?!
Hakurou: Great Rimuru has done it again.
Shuna: Thank goodness!
Gobta: Great Rimuru! Welcome back!
Rigurd: T-Take it easy, Gobta!
Gobta: You're okay, too, old man?!
Hakurou: Would you like to go back to sleep?
Gobta: M-Master! I'm so glad you're all right!
Rimuru: By the way, where's Shion?
Rimuru: She didn't go off to get revenge by herself, did she?
Rimuru: Knowing her, I wouldn't be surprised...
Shuna: U-Um... Great Rimuru...
Rimuru: Benimaru said only one thing:
Rimuru: "Please follow me."
Rimuru: Then he started walking toward the plaza, where the deceased monsters were laid to rest.
Gobta: Gobzo?
Gobta: Gobzo!
Benimaru: Shion tried to protect a child our attackers came after.
Benimaru: Weakened by the barrier,
Benimaru: she couldn't move as well as usual...
Shuna: Gobzo was protecting me.
Shuna: The attackers were laughing as they...
Rigurd: Great Rimuru!
Rimuru: Sorry.
Rimuru: I need to be alone for a while.
Rigurd: Very well.
Hakurou: Come, now.
Shuna: Please call me at any time.
Shuna: I will be here at once.
Great Sage: Notice.
Great Sage: A very strong aura exerts pressure on a weakened monster.
Rimuru: Yeah.
Rimuru: That's right...
Rimuru: I gave the magic-suppressing mask to Chloe...
Rimuru: Is the Analysis done?
Great Sage: It is complete.
Great Sage: Replicate the item?
Rimuru: Please.
Rimuru: Why did this happen?
Great Sage: Notice. Cannot calculate.
Rimuru: What should I have done?
Great Sage: Notice. Cannot comprehend.
Rimuru: Was it a mistake to get involved with humans?
Great Sage: Notice. Cannot answer.
Rimuru: Tell me... Was I wrong?
Great Sage: Notice. Cannot calculate.
Great Sage: Cannot comprehend. Cannot answer.
Rimuru: All these intense emotions are raging in my head,
Rimuru: but at the same time, I'm painfully calm.
Rimuru: I can't even shed a single tear.
Rimuru: Oh, I get it.
Rimuru: I've become a monster at heart, too.
Great Sage: Notice.
Great Sage: Search results unavailable.
Great Sage: Could not locate magic with the ability to fully revive the dead.
Rimuru: I see.
Rimuru: What about the barrier?
Great Sage: Notice.
Great Sage: Completed analysis of the two-layer barrier surrounding the city.
Great Sage: Removal of a multi-layer barrier is difficult,
Great Sage: but the great magic, Anti-Magic Area, can be undone.
Great Sage: Undo this magic?
Rimuru: No, not yet.
Rimuru: I wanted to get rid of the multi-layer barrier that's weakening everyone,
Rimuru: but I guess it won't go down that easily.
Rimuru: I can't stay here like this forever.
Rimuru: In time, the bodies will decay, return to magicules,
Rimuru: and finally disappear.
Rimuru: You can, at least, sleep peacefully within me...
Eren: Rimuru!
Rimuru: Thanks for coming.
Rimuru: Give me a moment.
Rimuru: I need to lay them all to rest.
Eren: L-Listen...
Eren: The odds are pretty low... in fact, they might be basically zero...
Eren: But there is a fairy tale about bringing the dead back to life!
Rimuru: A fairy tale?
Rimuru: What's that supposed to mean?
Rimuru: Why are you telling me this?
Rimuru: Stop it.
Rimuru: You'll get my hopes up.
Rimuru: Are you saying there's still something I can do for them?
Rimuru: For them?
Rimuru: No, that's wrong.
Rimuru: I just don't want to lose them.
Eren: You might think it's just a fairy tale,
Eren: but it's based on facts!
Eren: Rimuru?
Rimuru: Sorry about that. I was just so happy.
Rimuru: Reviving the dead, huh?
Rimuru: It sounds like a dream.
Rimuru: As long as the chance isn't zero, that's enough.
Rimuru: Tell me more, Eren.
Souei: The Western Holy Church's forces are camped around the city on all sides.
Souei: Each camp is protecting what appears to be a magic device.
Souei: I believe these devices are the source of the weakening barrier.
Rimuru: Can they be disabled?
Souei: One of them, perhaps, if we surprise them.
Rimuru: Okay.
Rimuru: Don't push your luck too far.
Rimuru: Continue to keep an eye on things.
Souei: Understood.
Rimuru: Sorry about that, Eren.
Rimuru: Now, tell me this fairy tale about reviving the dead.
Eren: Sure.
Eren: It's okay.
Eren: This is a fairy tale handed down in the Sorcerous Dynasty Sarion...
Eren: The story of a girl and a dragon.
Eren: The girl was the daughter of a human and a dragon,
Eren: and she was raised as the Dragon Princess.
Eren: One day, her father, a dragon,
Eren: made a double of himself in the form of a baby dragon
Eren: and gave it to her as a companion.
Eren: But then...
Eren: In an effort to take control over the Dragon Princess,
Eren: the king k*lled the baby dragon.
Eren: The girl went mad with pain, grief, and rage.
Eren: With the power she had inherited from her father,
Eren: she destroyed the king along with his entire nation,
Eren: including tens of thousands of people.
Eren: Then the girl transformed into a Demon Lord,
Eren: and when she did, the baby dragon miraculously came back to life.
Eren: But since it had lost its soul when it d*ed,
Eren: it came back as an evil monster with no will of its own
Eren: that destroyed everything in its path:
Eren: the Chaos Dragon.
Eren: Though it hurt her deeply,
Eren: the girl sealed away her once-beloved companion.
Eren: This was the first thing she accomplished upon becoming a Demon Lord.
Eren: That's the end of the story.
Rimuru: She destroyed an entire nation to become a Demon Lord...
Rimuru: And when she did, the dragon she was bonded with came back to life.
Rimuru: It's true that monsters evolve for unknown reasons.
Rimuru: All I did was name them, and they went crazy.
Rimuru: But there's no point if they come back without a will of their own...
Eren: This city is surrounded by a barrier right now, isn't it?
Rimuru: So if the souls of the dead are being held here by that barrier...
Great Sage: Notice.
Great Sage: Normally, the souls of the deceased scatter and then disappear,
Great Sage: but it is possible that the double-layer barrier is preventing this.
Text: Souls of the deceased remain
Great Sage: The probability that they remain is .%.
Text: Probability
Rimuru: The same as pi...
Rimuru: No, that's not right. It's the opposite.
Rimuru: The probability that I could revive them is a whole %.
Rimuru: If I can just become a Demon Lord...
Rimuru: Eren, thanks for telling me this.
Eren: It's okay.
Rimuru: But are you sure that was wise?
Rimuru: You basically told me to become a Demon Lord.
Rimuru: And, well...
Eren: Yeah.
Eren: To tell you the truth, my real name is Eryune Grimwald.
Eren: My blood connects me to the royal family of the Sorcerous Dynasty Sarion.
Rimuru: You're... a princess?
Kaval: We left our country with Princess Eren as her guards.
Rimuru: You did?
Gido: Sorry we didn't tell you.
Eren: I always wanted the freedom of adventuring,
Eren: so I left my home country.
Eren: But the truth is, only a few people in Sarion know that fairy tale.
Eren: If you become a Demon Lord,
Eren: they might realize that I had something to do with it.
Eren: But that's fine. I want to save the people of this city, too.
Eren: And I just can't condone what Falmuth and the Western Holy Church are doing!
Kaval: If that's how you feel, Princess,
Kaval: we have no objections as your guards.
Gido: Of course.
Rimuru: You have such good friends. I envy you.
Eren: Yes!
Eren: If there's anything we can do, just let us know!
Kaval: You're always doing so much for us.
Gido: It'll be our turn to do all we can for you!
Rimuru: Thanks.
Rimuru: To stop the souls of Shion and the others from dispersing,
Rimuru: I erected a third barrier.
Rimuru: Just to be on the safe side.
Rimuru: A Demon Lord...
Great Sage: Notice.
Great Sage: The individual named Rimuru Tempest has already acquired the Demon Lord seed.
Rimuru: I've acquired... the seed? What does that mean?
Great Sage: Answer.
Great Sage: Existence of the Demon Lord seed is an indicator
Great Sage: of whether one has the magicule volume, skills,
Great Sage: and other requirements to awaken as a True Demon Lord.
Great Sage: You acquired the seed when you Predated the Orc Disaster.
Great Sage: If you meet the conditions, you can potentially evolve into a True Demon Lord.
Rimuru: Really?!
Rimuru: And what are the conditions?
Great Sage: The fairy tale suggests that
Great Sage: nourishment is needed to make the seed sprout.
Text: To Sprout Seed
Text: Nourishment
Great Sage: That nourishment comes from the souls of humans.
Great Sage: The minimum requirement is ten thousand.
Text: Minimum Ten Thousand
Rimuru: I see...
Souei: Great Rimuru.
Rimuru: What is it?
Souei: I have a report from one of our men some distance from here.
Souei: The combined forces of Falmuth
Souei: and the Western Holy Church are marching in this direction.
Souei: They number about twenty thousand.
Rimuru: That's perfect.
Souei: It's... perfect?
Rimuru: Never mind, it's nothing important.
Rimuru: Thanks for the report.
Souei: Not at all. Until next time.
Rimuru: In that case...
Rimuru: Myulan.
Rimuru: I've decided what to do with you.
Rimuru: You need to die.
Youm: Master!
Youm: Wait a second! Myulan really didn't—
Youm: Grucius!
Grucius: What's the holdup, Youm?!
Grucius: Take Myulan and get out of here!
Youm: Myulan, we have to hur—
Myulan: I loved you, Youm.
Myulan: You were the first man I ever fell in love with.
Myulan: Try not to be deceived by any more evil women, okay?
Myulan: Goodbye.
Youm: Myulan!
Youm: Myulan!
Youm: Master, please! Don't do this!
Youm: I'll take her punishment with her! I'll do whatever you want!
Rimuru: I admire your resolve.
Youm: I'll spend my life atoning! Please!
Youm: No...
Youm: Myulan!
Rimuru: Great. Looks like it worked.
Myulan: Huh? Why am I alive?
Rimuru: You were dead for about three seconds.
Rimuru: I did say you needed to die, but I never intended to k*ll you.
Great Sage: Notice.
Text: Notice
Great Sage: The individual Myulan's artificial heart is operating normally.
Text: Normal
Rimuru: All right!
Rimuru: I realized when I put up the third barrier earlier
Rimuru: that this temporary heart Clayman put in Myulan
Rimuru: was being used as a bug.
Myulan: A bug?
Rimuru: It was emitting encrypted electrical signals
Rimuru: and delivering them to Clayman.
Rimuru: I had to make him think you were dead to trick him.
Rimuru: Sorry for scaring you like that.
Myulan: It's all right...
Myulan: Um, then... this pulse I feel...
Rimuru: It's an artificial heart I made based on this temporary one.
Rimuru: It won't work as a bug, of course.
Rimuru: You're free now.
Rimuru: Clayman can't do anything to you.
Youm: That's awesome, Myulan!
Youm: There's nothing tying you down anymore!
Myulan: Yes...
Myulan: Rimuru... no, Great Rimuru...
Myulan: There aren't enough words to express my gratitude.
Myulan: If you desire my allegiance, I freely give it to you.
Rimuru: Nah, no need for that.
Rimuru: I just want your help with something.
Myulan: What is it?
Rimuru: In the same way you just came back from the dead,
Rimuru: there's a chance I can bring Shion and the others back.
Myulan: You can... do that?
Rimuru: I'm just saying it's possible.
Rimuru: I'm going to do everything I can to increase my chances.
Rimuru: Will you help me?
Myulan: Very well. I will help in any way I can.
Rimuru: Thank you.
Rimuru: So what are you going to do after that's done?
Myulan: I... finally just gained my freedom...
Myulan: but if it's only for the short lifespan of a human,
Myulan: I don't think I'd mind being tied down.
Youm: Huh? You mean...
Grucius: Huh?!
Grucius: I don't need you comforting me!
Grucius: Besides, Youm's a human.
Grucius: He'll only live a hundred years or so.
Grucius: After that, it'll be my turn.
Youm: What the hell?!
Youm: That's what you've been thinking, you scumbag wolf?!
Grucius: What'd you just say, you scumbag human?!
Rimuru: By the way, Youm, I have a favor to ask of you, too.
Youm: Sure! Anything for you, man!
Rimuru: I want you to become the new king of Falmuth.
Youm: All right! Leave it to me!
Youm: Wait... what?
Youm: The king?
Rimuru: What I'm saying is, I'm going to wipe out the entire force that's headed here from Falmuth,
Rimuru: including their king and his top officers.
Rimuru: Won't that make things tough for the citizens of the kingdom?
Rimuru: That's where you come in.
Rimuru: You'll rule the Kingdom of Falmuth as its new king
Rimuru: and establish diplomatic relations with us.
Youm: You make it sound so simple...
Youm: You want me to be a king?
Rimuru: Why not?
Rimuru: I'm gonna be a Demon King myself. You can join me.
Myulan: Great Rimuru wouldn't ask this of anyone but you.
Myulan: You have my support, as well.
Myulan: Why not live the most life you can?
Grucius: I'll stick with you. I wanna be there waiting when you croak.
Youm: Excuse me?!
Youm: Okay, I'll do it. You can count on me.
Rimuru: All right!
Rimuru: Sorry for the wait, everyone.
Rimuru: We're going to begin our meeting now.
Rimuru: The topics are how we'll deal with humans from now on...
Rimuru: and the resurrection of Shion and the others.
Great Sage: Next time, "Putting Everything on the Line."
