02x01 - (D) Rimuru's Busy Life

[bunniefuu]

[RIMURU]

Alice Rondo.

[ALICE]

Here!

[RIMURU]

Chloe Aubert.

[CHLOE]

Here.

[RIMURU]

Good, everyone's present.

Now, as you may recall,

I'll be leaving Freedom Academy

at the end of the current term.

We know.

[ALICE groans]

[RIMURU]

No need to look so glum, chums.

I promise to

come back and visit.

Don't waste your time.

Who cares?

It's not like we're gonna

miss you or anything.

What's with the tough act?

Is it painful to be

honest with yourself?

Do you promise?

You'll really come

visit us again?

[RIMURU]

Yeah! You bet.

But we can hold off on the

goodbyes since we've still got

a month left.

More importantly, you guys

have finals coming up soon,

so I expect you to start hitting

those books, got it?

Really? Finals are the worst.

[knocking]

[TISS]

Professor Rimuru? It's me.

[RIMURU] Oh, Professor Tiss

is here to teach her class.

Come on in!

You kids better not make any

trouble for Professor Tiss,

--y'hear me?

--No worries.

We'll be good for her.

Yeah, no prob, we really

got to know each other

on our journey to Guratol.

Thanks to that trip,

we're all pretty tight now.

That's true.

They're wonderful kids.

You think so, huh? Uh...

[KIDS chuckling]

[RIMURU]

Eh... Well, in that case,

I'll leave them in your

capable hands.

Okay.

So what are you

gonna go do, teach?

Probably take a nap

or something.

Shows what you know.

As it turns out, I actually

happen to be pretty busy, Alice.

See you later!

I've got this. Have a good one!

Heh.

--[CHLOE] Have fun!

--[TISS] All right.

--[RYOTA] See you tomorrow.

--Let's talk about finals.

[ALICE]

Good riddance!

[RIMURU] Seems Professor Tiss

is getting along well

with the kids.

[RANGA]

Yes.

[RIMURU] She can take over

for me after I leave.

That's good.

Now then.

[RIMURU]

I wasn't lying about being busy.

Not only do I have the kids of

Freedom Academy to look after,

but I've also got my "hands"

full with stuff to do

for Tempest, our

nation of monsters.

Fortunately, I got a new skill

called "Spatial Movement"

by studying one of

the air spirits,

which will make my slife

a whole lot easier.

Check it out, Ranga,

looks like another peaceful day

in the country of Tempest.

[RIMURU]

I'm Rimuru Tempest.

I also happen to be a slime.

[RIMURU]

Back when I was a human,

I got stabbed by a total rando

and kicked it right there

on the sidewalk.

But then I got reincarnated

into this world as a slime.

I became friends with

the Storm Dragon, Veldora.

[RIMURU] I founded

a new nation for monsters.

[RIMURU] And I fought

to protect everyone in it.

[RIMURU]

Shizu's last wish...

[RIMURU]

...was to save those kids.

With a little help

from some spirits...

[RIMURU] ...we were

able to save them all.

[RIMURU] My time as a teacher

is almost over.

There sure have been

a lot of ups and downs

on this crazy journey of mine.

Things haven't

always been easy, but...

It's all worth it.

Because now we can

finally enjoy a little peace.

[RIMURU] So, a while back,

I got into a bit of a mess

with Demon Lord Carrion.

Thankfully, we agreed to sign

a non-aggression pact.

Then I accepted

Carrion's proposal.

He suggested that the

Jura Tempest Federation

and the Animal Kingdom

of Eurazania should each

send out delegations

to the other country.

[RIMURU] I appointed Benimaru

to lead our delegation,

with Rigur as his assistant.

[RIGURD sobs]

He looks so grown up!

[RIMURU] The delegation

is scheduled to leave today,

and it's a super

momentous occasion.

Which is why I had to pop back

to Tempest to see everyone off.

[RIMURU sighs]

Yep. Not bad.

[RIMURU groans]

Hoo boy.

This shape's

a little tougher to hold.

[SHION] Lord Rimuru,

thank you for waiting!

Waugh!

[SHUNA] We've selected

a variety of ceremonial outfits

for today's big meeting.

[RIMURU]

Oh, thanks a lot!

I guess I'll go ahead

and try them on.

[RIMURU] This might

actually be a bit much.

Well, perhaps you'd

prefer this one instead.

[RIMURU] It, uh, still seems

a little over the top.

I recommend this one,

Lord Rimuru!

[RIMURU grunts]

[SHION]

You look fantastic!

[SHUNA]

It suits you wonderfully!

[RIMURU sighs] Listen,

I appreciate the effort.

[RIMURU] But I think we

need something that reflects

the occasion a bit

more appropriately.

Are the outfits we selected

inappropriate?

[RIMURU]

This delegation is important to

the future of Tempest.

I want to

send them off properly.

I get it!

Yes, say no more. I have the

perfect outfit for you!

Hey. It's starting!

[CROWD cheering]

You look amazing, sir!

Don't you think, Gobzo?

[GOBZO]

Mm.

Wow. He's so cool!

Yeah, just like you, Sir Gabiru!

--It's true!

--You're both great.

[RANGA] Those clothes

suit you nicely, Master!

[SHION]

Enough with the compliments!

[gasping, shushing]

Well, then.

I wish you all the best

on your diplomatic mission.

[wind whooshing]

Is that it, my lord?

[RIMURU]

Was that not enough?!

Ahem.

That was just my opener.

[RIMURU] While Tempest has

grown vastly more prosperous

than it was before,

it's still inexperienced

as a nation.

If we can build a favorable

relationship with Eurazania,

we can find ways to utilize

the things that make

their nation great, which

will help our own country

progress even further.

However, their ruler,

Demon Lord Carrion,

also known as the Beastmaster,

is a hardcore m*llitary dude.

He might even be like,

"Power is everything, bruh!"

If he tries to start something,

then you come back here.

Our goal is not to fight.

It's to find out if our

nations can get along,

or see if it would be better

to sever relations with them.

This is for the good of

Tempest, but you don't need

to force yourself to endure

any great hardships.

I'm counting on you!

[DELEGATES]

Right!

[cheering]

It was such an eloquent speech!

His sagacious words

have reduced me to tears!

[LIZARDMAN G]

Uh...

[RIGURD whimpering]

[RIMURU] Honestly,

I feel like I should be

the one going out there.

No. Until we confirm it's safe,

I believe it's better that

you stay away from

the other Demon Lords.

Leave it to me.

I shall discern if Lord Carrion

can be trusted,

then report back here.

[RIMURU]

Thanks. Still though.

Try not to go and pick

any fights, y'hear me?

There's no need to worry.

[RIMURU] So mature! Benimaru

really is a reliable guy.

And good luck

to you, too, Rigur.

Thanks. I'll learn

as much as I can, sir.

Right, we're leaving.

[TOWNSFOLK cheering]

Make us proud, everybody!

Be careful on your journey!

[LIZARDMEN]

Good luck in Eurazania!

Farewell, Brother!

Please come back safely!

[GABIRU]

We'll miss you guys!

This feels like a really

good step for Tempest.

Yeah.

Here's hoping

we can establish formal

diplomatic relations

and help both of our nations

grow even stronger.

Thus, our first group

of delegates set off

on their journey.

In town, we had our own

things to get ready for

in order to welcome

the delegates that would be

arriving from Eurazania.

[RIMURU]

Nice work!

Looks like the guest house

will be ready in time.

How's the training

with the chefs?

It's great. Princess Shuna

has been working with them.

They're all quick learners and

everything is coming along well.

It's very tasty, but I think it

could use just a bit more salt.

[SHION] The reception hall

wait staff are ready to go.

Thanks to some additional

guidance from Vesta.

[RIMURU] I guess proper

etiquette is kind of his forte.

It's nice to have

an actual noble around.

[SHION]

Let's see... What else?

The date for your visit to

the Armed Nation of Dwargon

has been set.

[RIMURU]

Right...

I need to meet King Gazel in

person to officially thank him

for establishing diplomatic

relations with Tempest.

He's probably not too happy

with Milim's involvement

in the Charybdis incident,

so I guess I should

explain that, too.

Huh?

[RIMURU]

Treyni!

Lord Rimuru. Hello.

If you're here,

is something the matter?

No, I simply wanted to inform

you that the delegation from

the Animal Kingdom of Eurazania

has entered the domain.

That's why I've come.

[RIMURU]

Ah, they're close?

Well, you could say that.

They should be here within

a couple of days at the latest.

[RIMURU]

Sweet, thanks for the heads up!

[TREYNI] Of course,

it was the least I could do.

Also, I feel I should warn you

that the other party will arrive

before the delegates do.

[RIMURU]

Other party?

[TREYNI]

Yes. The Champions.

[GIRL humming]

It's getting dark.

Let's head back.

'Kay!

[leaves rustling]

[MUSHROOM A]

Mush, mush, mush.

Mush!

[GIRL]

How cute!

[MUSHROOM A snarls]

[shrieks]

[YOUM]

Don't move!

[YOUM grunts]

[RIMURU]

It was Youm and his party.

See, they used to be a g*ng of

ruffians, but then I had them

become the champions

who defeated the Orc Lord

in our place.

[gasps]

Oh, wow.

[RIMURU] If it got out that a

bunch of monsters defeated

the Orc Lord, it would just

make humans wary of us.

Are the two of you all right?

Yes, I think so,

thank you for asking.

Uh, sir? Thanks for your help.

You should be more careful--

these woods can

be quite dangerous.

Um. I like your sword!

[YOUM] Thanks, kid. Y'know, I

actually had it made near here,

in the nation of monsters

known as Tempest.

[RIMURU] He and his party are

traveling around and spreading

the good name of Tempest.

That way everyone knows

we're friendly monsters.

[inaudible]

[RIMURU]

No doubt about it.

[GOBTA panting]

[yelling]

[grunting]

[RIMURU] With everything

goin' on, I was one busy slime.

[inaudible]

[RIMURU] And I would be

right up until we welcomed

the delegates from Eurazania.

Oh, wow, this

tastes pretty good.

Yeah, you can say that again.

What'd you say this

stuff was called?

Ah...

[RIMURU]

Oh, that? It's called "brandy."

[YOUM]

"Brandy"? I like it.

[RIMURU]

I made it as a special treat

since we have guests visiting.

That's interesting. What kind?

[RIMURU] Well. The Demon Lord

Carrion's delegation

is arriving tomorrow.

[RIMURU]

How'd you do that in sync?!

[coughs] How'd you

end up playing host

to Demon Lord Carrion's people?!

[RIMURU]

It's kind of a long story...

[SHUNA sighs]

This feels so nice.

[SHION sighs]

Whoa, are you serious?

[RIMURU] Yep. Just tryin'

to be diplomatic.

It makes sense.

But still, a Demon Lord?

I imagine whoever

he sends will be real scary.

[RIMURU]

Maybe, who knows?

I'm hoping things

will go smoothly.

[YOUM] Wait, didn't you send

Benimaru with your guys

in case things got hairy?

I bet you anything their people

are doing the same thing.

[RIMURU] That wouldn't

surprise me in the least.

I don't want to ruin

a good opportunity

with v*olence, though.

Well, that's

a fair enough point.

[RIMURU] Make sure

you guys don't pick any fights

with them, either.

You don't have to talk

to us like we're idiots.

Believe it or not, we're

actually pretty smart

most of the time!

Aren't we?

You said it, boss.

[hiccups]

[RIMURU] Not related.

When you get the chance,

Hakurou was hoping to see you.

[YOUM grunts]

The master?

[RIMURU] He wants to make sure

you haven't gotten rusty.

Suddenly, I'm feeling

really sober.

[whining]

[RIMURU]

And so, the big day arrived.

[RIMURU]

Here they come.

[gasping]

[RIMURU]

Horse-drawn carriages?

No wait, those are

real friggin' tigers!

Talk about an entrance.

Oh, please, it's no big deal.

Compared to your power,

some tiger-drawn w*r chariot

hardly even works as a bluff.

[RIMURU]

I beg to differ!

Tigers seem like

a big deal to me!

Not to mention those fancy

decorations would serve

no purpose in an actual battle.

[RIMURU]

Back up the truck, Shion!

We're not talking

about battles, remember?

[ALBIS]

It is a pleasure to meet you.

You must be the leader of

the Jura Tempest Federation.

Rimuru, I presume?

I am known as Albis,

the Golden Serpent.

I'm also one of Demon Lord

Carrion's Three Beastketeers.

[RIMURU]

Whoa...

The dude sent his highest

ranking subordinates?

[SUPHIA]

This a joke?

[RIMURU gasps]

[SUPHIA] I only came on this

dumb trip 'cause I wanted to see

who the monster

leader of Tempest was.

And it turns out it's

a pathetic ball of slime?

Are you guys just screwin'

with us or somethin'?

[RIMURU] Wow... Rest in peace,

carriage door.

[ALBIS]

That's enough, Suphia.

If you don't watch your mouth,

you're going to embarrass

Lord Carrion with

your reckless opinions.

Who cares what you think?

You can't order me around.

Plus, hanging with

Dwarves is one thing.

But humans, too?

Anyone who pals around with

puny, insolent, cowardly humans

is a disgrace

to monsters everywhere!

[growling]

[RIMURU growls]

That's quite the hot take.

Youm here happens

to be my friend.

We're also both students

of the same master.

You act like I care.

[RIMURU]

Hey, Youm.

Doesn't it bug you that

she just wrote you guys off?

[YOUM]

Huh?

[RIMURU] Why don't you

show her what you can do?

I'll allow it this one time.

Hold on a second!

Last night, you were all

about peace and stuff!

[RIMURU] It's true that I wasn't

looking to start a fight,

but if they're itching for one,

then it's no slime off my back.

Oh? You wanna play, human?

I dunno.

[KAJIR] Go get her, boss!

Show her what you can do!

You're not a loser!

We believe in you!

Demonstrate your power!

[YOUM sighs]

All right, fine.

Master. Just clean up

the mess I leave behind.

Hah! So you're making

the slime clean up after you?

Guess that makes sense.

[RIMURU]

Sure, whatever you say... pal?

Wait? What's happening?

I just can't take it anymore.

All this girl has done

is hurl insults at you.

Until now, I have

exercised great patience.

But it would seem that's

no longer necessary.

[YOUM]

Hmm?

Uh. Hey!

[SHION]

You'll be fighting me instead.

I see. Think you can

take me hand-to-hand?

Then bring it on.

[SHION]

Hmm.

[SUPHIA grunting]

[BOTH]

Heh!

[SHION grunts]

[SUPHIA grunting]

[grunting, groaning]

[SUPHIA]

Heh.

[SHION]

Hah!

[RIMURU] Uh, should

I be worried about Shion?

She's fighting on her opponent's

terms, without her giant sword.

There's no need for concern,

Lord Rimuru.

Honestly, Shion is almost

as strong as my big brother.

[RIMURU]

Oh. Word.

My, sometimes there's

just no containing Suphia.

--Grucius.

--[GRUCIUS] Huh?

[ALBIS] Looks like you'll have

to take care of the human.

What?

So just because

I'm the runt of the brigade,

I have to do the fighting?

This is turning out

to be a pain.

[GRUCIUS grunts]

[sighs]

All right, human.

Let's do this.

Yeah. Sure.

Come at me.

Ahh...!

[GRUCIUS grunts]

[BOTH chuckle]

[RIMURU]

Man, Youm's pretty legit.

Grucius is a majin, and he's

managing to hold his own.

[SHUNA] Yes. He's

fighting magnificently.

[RIMURU] It looks like Hakurou's

training is really paying off!

Boss man's doin'

great out there!

Guess that's a champion for ya!

[SUPHIA grunts]

[laughs] Wow, I wasn't expecting

you to be this much fun!

Huh. Don't underestimate me.

A Kijin's power can

breach the heavens.

and shatter the ground.

Allow me to demonstrate!

[laughs]

Sounds good, bring it on!

You're actually

pretty entertaining!

[BOTH grunting]

[RIMURU] That's how,

immediately after the delegation

from Eurazania arrived,

a ferocious battle broke out.

[RIMURU] Of course, I was

the one who instigated it.

[GREAT SAGE] Next time,

"Trade with the Animal Kingdom."
