01x03 - (D) Battle at the Goblin Village

[bunniefuu]

[RIMURU]

Veldora the Storm Dragon

was sealed by

Unlimited Imprisonment.

In order to break the spell,

Rimuru had to eat Veldora

and store him in his stomach.

They both began

to analyze the seal.

Veldora from the inside

and Rimuru from the outside.

All in hopes of one day

setting the dragon free.

Rimuru wandered the cave

where he gained new skills

and finally found the exit.

That's where he ran

into the Goblins.

Before he knew it,

he found himself vowing

to help them in the battle

against the Direwolves.

[RIMURU]

Hmm.

Most of these Goblins

don't look like

they could do much

damage to a Direwolf.

They lack that warrior vibe.

And muscles.

[RIMURU] I might've bitten

off more than I can chew.

[RIMURU] Do you all

understand our situation?

Yes. We are prepared to fight

against the Direwolves

even if it costs us our lives.

[GOBLINS grunt]

[RIMURU] No need to get

worked up. Just be chill.

What matters is that we go out

there and do the best we can.

[RIMURU] That's how

a general talks, right?

[RIMURU clears throat]

[RIMURU] Okay, can someone

please show me your wounded?

We did the best that we could,

but it's not enough.

[RIMURU]

This is worse than I imagined.

I had no idea the wolves

could cause such a deep wound.

Well, might as well

try eatin' him.

Wait. What are you

doing, my lord?

[RIMURU grunts]

What the--? My wounds.

[gasps]

But how?

You healed me.

[RIMURU] I can't believe

that actually worked.

I was kinda sh**ting

from the hip

when I slurped him up

and smacked him

with a couple

of those potions I made.

They're even more effective

than I thought they would be.

[RIMURU] You get a potion,

and you get a potion.

I ate enough of those

hipokute herbs

that I've got loads to spare.

Everyone gets one!

Wow. You truly are

magnificent, my lord.

[RIMURU] There, that's

the last of the wounded.

Now, then...

...about the village,

we'll need to fortify

it with a fence.

[GOBLINS]

Hm!

[growling]

[DIREWOLF BOSS]

Tonight is the night.

Veldora's protection has

vanished from this forest.

We have nothing left to fear.

Under this moon, we'll destroy

the Goblin Village

and create a foothold

for ourselves here

in the Great Forest of Jura.

[ALL howling]

[DIREWOLF BOSS] The Direwolves

shall rule over this forest.

[ALL howling]

[DIREWOLF BOSS] Our mighty claws

can tear through any monster,

and our great fangs can break

through the strongest armor.

[ALL howling]

[DIREWOLF BOSS] Heh. What a

disgraceful little fence.

They dare mock us?

[DIREWOLF]

Father, look.

[DIREWOLF BOSS]

A slime.

[RIMURU] Turn back now

and nobody gets hurt.

This is your only warning.

[DIREWOLF BOSS]

You insolent wretch.

Do you think a Direwolf

would really listen

to a foolish slime?

Destroy their pitiful fence!

Water the grass with

the blood of Goblins!

--[chuckles]

--[GOBLIN grunts]

[DIREWOLF BOSS]

Huh?

[DIREWOLF BOSS]

What's that?

[RIMURU]

It's my skill, Steel Thread.

[DIREWOLF BOSS]

This is your doing?

[RIMURU]

That's right.

[DIREWOLF BOSS] A puny monster

dares to att*ck us?

I will squash you like a bug!

[DIREWOLF]

Father!

[roars]

Lord Rimuru, no!

[grunting]

[RIMURU]

And that's Sticky Thread.

[DIREWOLF BOSS]

This won't stop me.

[RIMURU]

Skill: Water Blade!

[DIREWOLVES gasp]

[ALL growling]

[RIMURU]

Listen up, Direwolves.

Your boss has been slain.

I'll give you two choices.

You can submit or you can die.

[RIMURU]

That was stupid.

What will I do if they decide

to take the su1c1de mission

route and att*ck all at once?

I wish they'd just choose

the "run away" option.

[sighs]

[RIMURU]

Oh! Predator!

[DIREWOLF A gasps]

[GREAT SAGE]

Analysis complete.

Acquired ability

to mimic Direwolf.

Direwolf species skills

have been acquired,

including

"Supreme Sense of Smell,"

"Thought Communication,"

and "Menace."

[RIMURU]

Right.

[ALL gasp]

[RIMURU chuckles]

[RIMURU] Hear me. I will show

you mercy just this once.

If you refuse to yield to me,

then I'll allow you the chance

to turn tail and run.

[roaring]

[RIMURU] Come on, guys,

just run away already.

[RIMURU]

Why aren't they leaving?

Do they still wanna fight?

[whimpers]

[DIREWOLVES]

We yield.

Our pack will now serve you.

[RIMURU] Huh? But they

could've just b*at it.

Uh, what the...

Did we win? Are we safe?

[RIMURU] Yep, all's good

in the Goblin hood.

That could've been a lot worse

I'm glad that's done.

Like they say,

make love, not w*r.

[GOBLINS cheering]

[RIMURU] And before it really

had a chance to start,

the great Direwolf battle

at the Goblin Village was over.

Still though...

[RIMURU]

Now I have a new problem.

Not only do I need

to find someone

to look after these Goblins,

I've gotta find

puppy sitters, too.

I guess their numbers

are about the same, so...

[RIMURU]

Listen up, everyone.

[ALL]

Huh?

[RIMURU]

Okay.

Here's what we're going to do

about the living situation.

I'm gonna have you all pair up.

--[GOBLINS] Pair...

--[DIREWOLVES] ...up?

[RIMURU]

You seem confused.

We're not sure what you mean

by the term "pair up,"

Lord Rimuru.

[RIMURU]

You'll form groups of two.

A group..

[DIREWOLF]

...of two?

[RIMURU] All right. Yesterday's

enemy is today's friend.

From this day forward,

I want you all to work together

and get along. Got it?

[ALL]

Yes.

[RIMURU] So help each other out

and have each other's backs.

[sighs]

[RIMURU]

Guess that settles that problem.

[RIMURU]

Anyway, moving on.

Next, we'll need to figure out

food, shelter, and clothing.

We should form teams to hunt and

gather food, build new houses,

and probably get some people

to work on strengthening

the village's defenses.

Let's start with...

[RIMURU] Uh... what's

that dude's name again?

Wait, do they even have names?

[RIMURU] Yo, Elder, do you

guys have names or what?

Well, it's very unusual

for monsters to have names.

But even without names,

we can still communicate

our thoughts to one another.

[RIMURU]

Oh, that's cool.

Still though, it'd be easier

if you all had names.

So, if it's okay with you guys,

I think I'll just give you some.

[ALL gasp]

Wait. Really?

But are you certain you

wanna give us all a name?

[RIMURU]

Uh, yeah?

--[GOBLINS cheering]

--[DIREWOLVES howling]

[RIMURU]

Sheesh. They're weirdly excited

over something as simple

as getting a new name.

[GOBLINS chattering]

[RIMURU]

All right, you'll go first.

Let's see, what to call you?

Your son had a name, right?

The one who d*ed in battle?

Yes, it was Rigur.

[RIMURU]

That's cool sounding.

In that case

I'll dub thee, "Rigurd."

[RIGURD gasps]

To think you have honored me

with such a wondrous name.

You've made me so happy!

[RIMURU]

Jeez, really?

All I did was add a "D"

onto his son's name.

[RIMURU] I'm going to call you

"Rigur," after your brother.

Whoa, thanks!

Oh, my, I can't believe

my son has been allowed

to inherit my other son's name.

[BOTH]

Thank you so much, Lord Rimuru!

[RIGURD]

We're not worthy...

[RIMURU] Man, these guys

are way emotional today.

[RIMURU]

Your name's Gobta.

Yay! Thank you.

I'll treasure it, sir.

[RIMURU]

You'll be Gobchi.

Uh, Gobtsu.

Gobte?

And, uh, you're Gobzo.

[grunts]

[RIMURU] These names

aren't super imaginative.

I feel bad that they're

so happy about them.

Please, sir.

I certainly don't

want you to think

we're unappreciative of

the names you've given us.

[RIMURU]

Huh?

[RIGURD]

And we're aware of how strong

your magical power is

compared to ourselves,

but are you sure

it's wise to try

and give everyone a name

in just one sitting?

[RIMURU]

Uh... Yeah, I don't see why not.

[RIGURD] Well, as long as

you're certain, then.

[RIMURU]

Who's next?

[GOBLIN GIRL giggles]

[RIMURU]

You'll be... Haruna!

'Kay!

[RIMURU] Whew. That takes

care of all of the Goblins.

Next up are the wolves.

He's the son of the

Direwolf boss, right?

He might actually be mad

at me for offing his dad.

Then again,

I'm no expert on body language,

but they don't seem upset.

[RIMURU]

Hmm.

Wolf.

Fangs.

[RIMURU]

Wind.

Storm.

I know. I'll give him

my family name.

Tempest.

Tempest Fang?

Storm Fang?

Let's see....

Oh. Ranga!

Yeah, that sounds cool!

[RIMURU]

From now on, you'll be "Ranga!"

[RANGA]

Ranga.

[RIMURU] I guess the tail

wag means he likes it.

Uh! Hey! What's with the

egg mode all of a sudden?

[RANGA]

Lord Rimuru?

[RIMURU]

Everything is getting dark.

[GOBLIN C]

Oh, no!

[GOBLIN D]

Somebody do something!

[GREAT SAGE]

Warning.

Internal Magicule reserves have

fallen below minimum limit.

Now entering sleep mode.

Estimated time until

full recovery is three days.

[RIMURU]

I used up too many magicules?

But how?

[RIMURU]

I couldn't move or speak.

I had no sense of any

of my surroundings,

but I was still conscious.

Oh. This is our fault,

it must be because

he named so many of us

at one time.

[RIMURU] So apparently,

giving out names like candy

to monsters can use

up your magicules.

I guess that's why Rigurd

was acting so weird.

I wonder if that's

common knowledge.

Jeez, he could've

said something.

[howling]

[RIMURU]

And then, three days later...

[RIMURU]

Behold! I am recovered!

Oh, Lord Rimuru.

You're finally awake.

[RIMURU]

That I am.

You look like you're feeling

much better now.

[RIMURU]

Who is this?

Hold on, I'll go fetch

Elder Rigurd for you.

[RIMURU]

Uh, okay.

[RIMURU] Huh. Did this village

always have a cute girl in it?

[RIGURD]

Lord Rimuru.

I'm so happy that you've

finally recovered.

[RIMURU]

Rigurd, hey!

So who was that

girl just now...?

Who the heck are you?!

It is I, Rigurd.

[RIMURU] But weren't you like

super old three days ago?!

Indeed, before you

gave us all names.

[RIMURU]

I de-aged you?

[RIGURD] When a monster is given

a name, it raises their rank

and makes them evolve

into something more powerful,

like the handsome specimen

you see here.

[chuckles]

[RIMURU]

Uh, cool.

At least that explains

why you guys were so excited

to be getting a name

in the first place.

No wonder that process

sucked my magicules dry.

[RIGURD screams]

[RANGA]

Master, you're awake!

Allow me to express

my utmost joy

that you've finally recovered.

[RIMURU]

Hold on.

Judging by the star on your

forehead, you're Ranga, right?

[RANGA]

Yes!

[RIMURU screaming]

[GOBLINS cheering]

[DIREWOLVES howling]

[RIMURU]

There's Rigurd.

[RIGURD laughs]

[RIGUR laughing]

[RIMURU]

Rigur.

And Gobta.

Huh, he really didn't

change that much.

[GOBLINS cheering]

[RIMURU] I know Rigurd

said they all evolved,

but they almost seem like

completely different monsters.

[GREAT SAGE] The male Goblins

have evolved to Hobgoblins,

and the female Goblins

have become Goblinas.

[RIMURU]

Hey, Ranga.

You were the only Direwolf

I had a chance to name.

So why is it that the other

Direwolves evolved, too?

[RANGA]

An excellent question.

It's because all of us

Direwolves act as one entity.

You see, in our pack,

we're all connected.

Therefore, my name has also

become our clan's name.

[RIMURU]

Oh.

I get it, so your whole pack

evolved through a shared name.

[RANGA] Correct. We are no

longer known as the Direwolves.

We're now the Tempest Wolves.

[RIMURU]

Tempest Wolves.

That sounds pretty awesome.

[RIMURU grunting]

[RIMURU screaming]

[RANGA] Oh, no, forgive

my tail wagging, master!

[RIMURU] You have to be careful

with that thing, Ranga!

[RANGA]

Unh. I really am sorry.

[RIMURU]

Whoa, you can change your size?

That's convenient.

The monsters evolving

is cool and all,

but the bigger problem here

is what we're gonna do

about finding enough food,

clothing, and shelter

to sustain everybody.

[screaming]

[RANGA]

Master, no!

[GOBLINS chatterin, laughing]

Right.

It took five whole minutes

for everyone to settle down

and stop gabbing.

[RIMURU] Man, that was my

best village elder impression.

[RIGURD] Lord Rimuru,

what's that on your face?

[RIMURU]

Nothing. What's on your face?

Anyway, as you can all see,

we're a big happy family now.

In order to avoid complications,

I think we should

set a few ground rules.

[ALL]

Rules?

[RIMURU]

There are three rules.

Please do your best

to follow them.

First, no attacking humans.

Second, no fighting

amongst yourselves.

Third, no belittling

other races.

That's it.

[GOBLINS murmuring]

--[RIGUD] Sir?

--[RIMURU] Yes?

You have a question?

Is there a reason why we're not

allowed to att*ck the humans?

How dare you question him!

[RIMURU]

Calm down, Rigurd, it's fine.

It's simple, really.

It's just because

I like humans, that's all.

Okay, then. Makes perfect sense.

[RIMURU]

Wait, it does? Really?

Uh, good.

Ahem.

Another thing is, humans

typically live in large groups,

and if you mess with them, then

they might retaliate against us.

If they were to

come after us in earnest,

I doubt we could handle them.

Besides, getting along with them

is beneficial to us, too.

[ALL]

Mm-hmm.

[RIMURU]

Are there any other questions?

Me!

[RIMURU]

Yes, Gobta.

When you say "Don't belittle

other races," what's that mean?

[RIMURU] Well, you've all gotten

stronger by evolving, right?

It means you shouldn't

let that go to your head

and use that strength

to push others around.

It's not fair to think

you're better than they are.

Besides, what if they

get stronger one day

and choose to start

pushing you around?

We understand you, sir.

[ALL]

Mm-hmm.

[RIMURU]

Okay, that's it.

Do your best

to follow those rules.

[ALL]

Right.

[RIMURU]

One more thing.

Elder Rigurd, I'd like

for you to be in charge

of everyone in this village.

You're the Goblin Lord.

[RIGURD]

The Lord?

[RIMURU]

Lead your village well.

Yes! Thank you, my lord.

I accept this

great responsibility.

I promise I won't

let you down, sir.

[RIMURU]

Good. I'm counting on you.

[RIMURU] I don't wanna tell him

I only dumped the gig on him

because I don't

feel like doing it.

[RIMURU] After that, I assigned

jobs to the rest of the Goblins.

I formed a team to keep

watch over the village.

[RIMURU] Then I made

a squad to gather food.

Regarding those tasks, I think

everything will be fine.

The real problems are...

...he group that builds houses

and the people who make clothes.

You know, two thirds

of the whole

"food, shelter, clothing" thing.

[RIMURU]

Are you sure that's a house?

[BOTH gasp]

[RIMURU] Honestly, I only know

the basics of being a handyman,

but I worked in

general contracting

so I know good from bad.

And this...

[RIMURU]

...would probably get a shutdown

by the health department.

This is most embarrassing.

Forgive us.

[RIMURU] Regarding

the clothing problem...

[chuckles]

[RIMURU] I just think we need

more coverage, is all.

[HARUNA chuckles]

[RIMURU] Not that I'm

complaining, necessarily.

[RIGUR] We don't have anyone

who's skilled at making clothes.

[RIMURU] Huh? Well, if you

can't make them,

then couldn't you go

buy them somewhere?

Hmm. Yes, now that

I think about it,

there are others we trade

with from time to time.

Not only do they have people

who can make us clothing,

but they might also

have somebody

who knows about

building houses, as well.

[RIMURU] Huh. Well, we aren't

getting anywhere this way.

So maybe we should go see them.

Who are these people?

I'm referring to the Dwarves

that live in Dwargon.

[RIMURU]

Dwarves?!

Like the famous masters

of metalworking Dwarves?

That sounds like that

would be so much fun!

Then I'll travel to

Dwargon on our behalf.

Rigurd, are you cool with

looking after the village

while I'm away?

Yes.

Rest assured that everything

is safe with me and my muscles.

[RIMURU]

All right. You kids behave.

[ALL]

We'll see you later!

--Travel safely.

--[ALL] Bye!

Come back soon, okay?

[RIMURU] And so I left

the village on a new adventure

to go and meet the Dwarves.

The Goblins told me that

this Dwargon place is huge,

and it even has its own king.

You gotta admit

that sounds pretty cool!

Onward. To a new adventure

filled with excitement!

[GREAT SAGE] Next time,

"In the Kingdom of the Dwarves."
