02x13 - The Visitors

[bunniefuu]

I am the Storm Dragon, Veldora Tempest!

I am fully revived!

All who defy me will be slaughtered!

Uh, old dude... how do you know that line?

Well, I was bored,
so I analyzed your memories

and read all of that "manga"
stuff you had in there!

Not only that...

but I play shogi at the
master level now, too!

No, since I'm the Storm Dragon,
I've reached the Ryuo level!

Ryuo

I see. Well, I'm glad you enjoyed
life in my stomach so much.

I'm back after all this time,
and you're being so cold.

That went a lot more quickly
than I expected, though!

I thank you, Rimuru Tempest!

My BFF!

Did you really just say "BFF"? That's so old.

Oh, I almost forgot. Did you not get my gift?

I'm glad you asked!

Thanks to you, my unique skill, Inquirer,

evolved into the ultimate skill, Faust!

It is the power to reach the ultimate truth,

Ah, that makes sense.

born from my insatiable curiosity!

My Great Sage evolved into Raphael, too.

In other words...

Yes.

Yes

That is not all.

Analyzing the remains of Veldora

has given you the ultimate skill "Veldora."

In addition, using the unique skill
"Unlimited Imprisonment" as a basis

Unlimited Imprisonment

to consolidate all of your abilities,

Sticky Steel Thread

Ability

Body Double

Consolidation

Area Barrier

Black Flame

Black Thunder

Multilayer Barrier

you have successfully acquired
the ultimate skill "Uriel."

Ultraspeed Regeneration

Wait, that means I have
four ultimate skills now!

It does mean that.

It does mean that.

And that means you and I are invincible now!

Just relax and go with it!

R-Right...

That Time I Got
Reincarnated as a Slime

Episode : The Visitors

My first time seeing the
outside world in centuries...

The air tastes so sweet!

Look, do you think you can
tone down that enormous aura?

You're gonna scare everyone in town.

Very well. I shall try.

Think of it as storing it inside.

Yes, I get it! You mean like that!

Like "that"?

No, that's just putting out even more aura!

How's this?!

Hey, not bad!

Your aura's a lot smaller now.

Thank the wisdom of the sacred texts
that contain all knowledge of the world!

He just tried something he
read in a manga, didn't he?

Hey, everyone. Sorry I'm late.

Great Rimuru! You're all right!

We were so worried!

We suddenly sensed signs of the return
of the Storm Dragon, Veldora...

I'm gonna explain that right now.

But first, let me introduce you all.

This is Veldora-kun!

He's a tad shy around new people,
but try to make friends with him!

Huh?

Wait! I'm not shy around new people at all!

It's just that not many people
ever actually reached me alive!

Treyni-san!

Our guardian, Lord Veldora,

I congratulate you on your return
from the bottom of my heart.

Oh, the Dryads, right? I remember them.

Thanks for taking care of my Forest of Jura!

I am unworthy of such praise.

Such a task is in no way enough
to repay you for taking in

my sisters and me when we were
separated from the Queen of Spirits.

Don't worry about that!

Our Lord!

Wait, is that the real Storm Dragon?!

You gotta be kidding.

Keep looking out for Rimuru for me.

You'll be looking out for me now, as well.

Hey! What do you mean by that?

U-Um...

Yes?

Lord Veldora, just what is your
relationship with Great Rimuru?

You wanna know?

Y-Yes, please!

Very well.

Rimuru is my bosom buddy! My other half!

My sword friend!

My sword friend!

My sword friend!

Please stop! You're embarrassing me!

What?! You're friends with not just
Lady Milim, but Lord Veldora, as well?!

I knew Great Rimuru was
amazing from the very start!

At this point, anything goes.

One should expect no less of my master!

Precisely.

Incidentally, why have you taken this form?

Rimuru had this body prepared for me!

Well?! I look awesome, right?!

Yes, you look wonderful.

Don't I? Don't I?!

I understand now!

You appeared before us just
after Lord Veldora vanished!

I was keeping it secret.

I thought it would take over
years to free Veldora,

and if this had gotten out,
there's no telling who would've come after me.

True.

Great Rimuru!

The preparations for the feast are complete.

Okay.

Everyone, we've been through
some pretty tough times,

but for today, you can eat, drink,
and forget about all of it!

Let's just be glad we're all still alive!

That evening progressed into a party
wild enough to be likened to a festival.

Everyone was overjoyed to be
revived and together again.

I took a vicious att*ck!
But then came my Exo-evade!

And then a rolling att*ck from
behind with a forward punch!

It'll be ready soon.

Why me, too?

You have to experience
Shion's cooking with me!

Don't drag me into this!

It might actually be good, by some miracle.

Miracles don't happen that easily!

Thank you for waiting!

Enjoy!

Feel free to eat as much as you'd like!

Shion, do you know the
meaning of the word "cook"?

Of course I do, Great Rimuru!

Well? Doesn't it look delicious?

Why does the onion still have its skin and
roots?! And the tomatoes still have stems!

You're supposed to cut and peel
and pick off stuff like that!

Well, you see... when I try
to do things like that,

I end up cutting the building along with it.

Huh? Not just the table, but the building?

Yes.

My Hercules' Edge is fantastically
sharp, but it's a bit long...

You use that for cooking?!

Yes!

Since I was a child, I've always
thought nothing was impossible,

but it seems I was overconfident.

How can he say that with
such a handsome face?!

S-Swords are not cooking tools!

Get it?! There are cooking knives,
or even a small Kn*fe like this!

I will use no blade but Hercules' Edge.

I hate infidelity.

Oh, really?

And I was thinking of giving you
a cooking Kn*fe as a gift...

I was wrong! I made a mistake!

Even Hercules' Edge says a
little infidelity is fine!

Really? Then try to cook with
a cooking Kn*fe from now on.

I will!

But with this kind of "cooking"...
if you could even call it that...

It's no wonder you learn Poison
Resistance if you eat enough of it.

I'm a Demon Lord now!

Just eating something isn't
gonna k*ll me, right?!

It's good!

How does it look so awful,
but taste so amazing?!

Wh-What's the meaning of this?!

Actually, the gift I got
when I came back to life

gave me a new skill!

Huh?!

The unique skill "Master Chef"!

Master...

...Chef?

With this skill,

anything I cook tastes just like I
want it to, no matter how I cook it.

I-I see...

Thank goodness! Right, Benimaru?

Yes.

Now we won't have to die.

Well, let's eat!

Yes!

It looks awful, but it really
tastes good. So good.

Yes, yes! Though it does look awful!

There's enough for seconds, too.

That won't be necessary!

Huh?

We learned something important tonight.

When it comes to cooking,
appearances matter, too.

Everyone, I'm sure you
already know who this is,

but let me introduce him anyway.

This is Diablo-kun, the one who
saved me from certain death.

He's new here, but he's really
strong and dependable,

so I plan to put him to
work as a second secretary.

I'd like you all to treat him well.

Everyone, I would deeply appreciate
your guidance and encouragement.

Teach him the ropes of the job for me.

Understood.

And Gabiru...

Sir!

As of today, you're in charge of development.

It's a temporary position,
but you'll be at the top of the ranks.

Huh?!

I'll be counting on you.

Wha... Bu...

I accept!

I, Gabiru, will devote my all to this task!

Yay! Sir Gabiru's moving up!

Good. And now I'd like to discuss
our plan for the future.

Youm and the Three Beastketeers,
this involves you guys,

H-Hey, you three! Quiet down!

so stay and listen.

I'll hear out whatever
you have to say, Master.

Does this have to do with
the rescue of Lord Carrion?

I decided to become a Demon Lord.

Yes.

I said a Demon Lord.

Yes.

A Demon Lord...

You already are one.

That's not what I mean.

I'm going to announce to the whole
world that I'm a Demon Lord.

Oh?

You mean you intend to pick a
fight with the other Demon Lords?

Yes! Exactly!

And by "other Demon Lords," I mean Clayman!

Oh?

I see.

You want to steal the
Demon Lord's throne yourself.

Interesting!

That's right.

The one behind everything that just
happened was the Demon Lord Clayman.

I have no intention of letting
him get away with it.

And then I told everyone my idea.

Cleaning up in the Kingdom of Falmuth,

the need to keep the
Western Holy Church in check,

and the rescue of the Demon Lord Carrion,

as we promised the Animal Kingdom.

Rigurd.

Sir!

You'll handle negotiations
with the nations to the west.

As you wish! You can count
on me, Great Rimuru!

Benimaru.

Sir!

Pull together the results
of everyone's evolutions.

If we want to make use of all
our forces against Clayman,

we need to know what our strengths are.

Understood, Great Rimuru.

Shion.

Yes?

You'll interrogate the w*r prisoners.

I will handle it, Great Rimuru.

And don't take it too far. Understand?

No need to worry.

I hope not...

Youm, Mjurran.

Yeah?

Help Shion out.

Get them to tell you whatever you
can about the state of Falmuth,

and then we'll take the kingdom.

You can count on me, Master.

It's gonna be my kingdom, after all.

Beastketeers, I'd like to
ask you to help us, too.

You need not even ask,
Leader of the Forest of Jura.

Ask us anything. We act on your orders.

Good.

Rebuild your strength and be
ready for the coming battle!

Right.

Yeah!

Rimuru, sir!

I hurried here in accordance with the
security pact between Blumund and Tempest!

Fuze?

There were so many dead in the city!

How could those Falmuth bastards be so cruel?

Oh, th-they're not dead, they're aslee—

It isn't many, but I brought
fifty fully-armed soldiers!

All of them... are prepared.

Falmuth's main army doesn't
appear to have arrived yet,

but the king of Blumund has also
sworn to mobilize the knights!

Hey, Fuze-kun, wait just a second.

Oh, forgive me. Do you already have a plan?

Uh, yeah...

A plan... "Plan" might
not be the right word...

Were you keeping it secret from us?

No, that's not it.

Listen, Fuze-kun. I really
do appreciate your concern,

but it's already over.

Huh?

It's over? What do you mean?

What is over?

Uh... How do I put this?

Basically... in so many words,
I wiped it out.

Wiped what out?

The Kingdom of Falmuth's army!

I completely annihilated it!

I get how you feel. Just go jump in
the hot spring and rest for a while.

Okay?

Show the soldiers to the
inn and tell them to relax.

They came all this way, so be hospitable.

Of course.

C'mon, let's go.

N-No, no, no, no, no! Wait!

Oh... Looks like more visitors.

Visitors?

Not just any visitors.

Notice.

Thirty knights approaching.

They are led by the king of
the Armed Nation of Dwargon,

the individual called Gazel Dwargo.

Hey, Raphael-san...

Yes?

It's gonna be a hassle to have you giving
me details on everyone who comes here,

so keep it short, okay?

Short?

You can save it for when someone hostile
toward me is coming, can't you?

Understood.

Long time, Rimuru.

I heard you've become a Demon Lord.

Yeah, some things happened... you know.

It's gonna be a pain, frankly,

but we were just having a meeting
to discuss future plans.

Perfect timing. I will take
part in this meeting, as well.

Wha—

When did they get here?!

Universal Detect didn't sense anything!

Notice

Notice.

I detect no obvious hostility in this group.

Oh, right... I said it
was a hassle earlier...

Hmph.

I'm sorry, okay? Please give
me clear reports from now on!

Okay, Raphael-san?

Who are you people?

Well, well, if it isn't the
king who likes to live...

hidden beneath the ground.

I'm surprised.

I never expected a coward like
you to back a Demon Lord.

Ah, it's you.

The descendant of the Elves who likes
to live in ridiculously high places.

You came down from your city
surrounded by divine trees?

No... With that body, you're more likely...

Yes, it was made using an
artificial human, a homunculus.

I can't be careful enough when meeting one
who claims to be a Demon Lord, after all.

Wow, a homunculus so elaborate that I
couldn't tell it apart from a human...

I wonder if he'll teach me how to make one.

These people come from the
Sorcerous Dynasty of Thalion.

You haven't changed, Elalude.

Neither have you, Gazel.

And who might this be?

Nice to meet you.

I'm the leader of this forest, Rimuru.

I hope—

You!

You are the Demon Lord
who seduced my daughter?!

Er... H-Huh?

I hope you've made your peace!

O flames, burn, dance, and rampage!

Gather, flicker, and pour
in a rain of v*olence!

Wait, what the hell is he doing?!

Scatter my enemy to the winds!

Notice.

Burn him to ash until not a
single shred of flesh remains!

This is an extremely
high-level expl*si*n spell.

Why's he using that all of a sudden?!

O flames, burn, dance, and rampage!

Gather, flicker, and pour
in a rain of v*olence!

You idiot!

Scatter my enemy to the—

Ouch...

Dad! What the heck are you doing here?!

Eren! You're all right!

Of course I am! I came here of my own will!

Ah...

I'm so sorry.

I received a report saying my daughter
had been taken by a Demon Lord,

so I couldn't help panicking.

Couldn't help it, my ass!

I see you're still an
overprotective father, Elalude.

I am not overprotective!

Eren is just so adorable,
there's nothing else I can do.

That's what most fathers would say.

No, nothing I say will do any good.

Rimuru! This is my father and archduke
of the Sorcerous Dynasty of Thalion!

His name's Elalude Grimwald!

Leader of the Great Forest of
Jura and ruler of the monsters,

as my daughter Eren has just told you,

my name is Elalude Grimwald.

Please, call me Elalude.

S-Sure...

I'd heard she was the daughter of nobility,

but I had no idea he was that big a deal.

And is Eren-san the only reason you're here?

Of course not.

I figured.

I wanted to see you with my own two eyes,

since my daughter is so taken with you.

Now, I will also be taking
part in this meeting.

Why do all these guys just
do whatever they want?!

Thus the very important meeting to determine

what Tempest would do
next was ready to begin.

A Meeting of Humans and Monsters

Next time,
"A Meeting of Humans and Monsters."
