[RIMURU]
After a four-day journey,
we had finally
arrived in Dwargon.
[RIMURU] We were immediately
granted an audience
with the king himself,
Gazel Dwargo.
[RIMURU]
I want to start by thanking you.
For pardoning
the crimes of Kaijin
and the three Dwarf brothers.
Back then, exiling them
was my only option.
A lesser punishment wouldn't
have satisfied my ministers.
Wait. So does that mean you
wanted to let them off easy?
Perhaps. Though, I admit
I had my own concerns.
Being the strange
creature you are,
it seemed best to get rid of all
of you for the time being.
[chuckles nervously]
[GAZEL] That said, it broke
my heart to forcibly send
Kaijin, Garm, Dord
and Myrd away.
[RIMURU] Well, thanks to Garm,
we have high-quality armor now.
Not to mention, Dord and Myrd
have been a huge help
with our construction projects.
And of course, Kaijin takes
care of all kinds of matters
that are way beyond
any of my abilities.
I have no doubt that Tempest
wouldn't be the same
without them.
I thought they would be better
off in a different environment.
One where they could make
use of their talents freely,
rather than living in obscurity.
What happened to Vesta?
Is he with you?
Oh, I did invite him
to come with me.
[VESTA]
Hmm. I appreciate it,
but I simply can't bring
myself to face King Gazel
until I've produced some
sort of result.
So he said.
[laughs]
Sounds like Vesta.
But I suppose that means
he's finally found a place
where he can exercise
his talents to their fullest.
[laughs]
Now, Rimuru...
Uh?
[GAZEL]
I need to ask you something.
I know. I've had a feeling.
[GAZEL]
In the battle against Charybdis,
you utilized a high-output
magical w*apon.
Can you enlighten me
with the details?
[RIMURU groans softly]
[GAZEL] I heard it was
an unprecedented force
that surpassed all
tactical magic.
Yeah, about that.
What if I said it was
Demon Lord Milim's power?
Seriously?
Yes, he made a similar joke
the day we defeated Charybdis.
Except it's kinda true.
Sorry, that's impossible
to believe.
You mean that child...
[MILIM]
Yay! It's me!
[DORF] ...is a Catastrophe-class
Demon Lord?
[RIMURU] Look, I totally
get why it sounds crazy.
Heh.
[chuckles]
Uh?
It's too preposterous
to be mere boasting.
All right. I've decided
to believe you.
[RIMURU]
Huh?
[sighs]
Got that? You, too.
[sighs]
Yes, sir.
But when did you become
acquainted with
the oldest of the Demon Lords?
You are truly full of surprises,
Lord Rimuru.
[SHION]
Hmm!
[giggles]
[RIMURU]
Why is Shion acting so proud?
Thank you for waiting.
[RIMURU]
Uh?
What is this?
[RIMURU] Ah, just
a small gift from Tempest.
For you.
[GAZEL]
Hmm.
[SHUNA]
Please have one.
[DORF]
Thank you.
Hold on.
Did Dord make these glasses?
Yep, you guessed it.
[GAZEL]
Hmm...
It's magnificent.
The translucence,
the delicate appearance.
And is this detoxifying
rune magic?
How thoughtful.
Would you like me
to taste it for poison?
I would never actually suspect
you of trying to poison me.
[sniffs]
Such a lovely aroma.
Oh! This drink is...
[gasps]
...superb.
I agree.
Bottoms up.
Ah! Tasty!
[GREAT SAGE] Notice.
Poison Resistance successful.
[RIMURU]
No, stop succeeding!
What's the point of good booze
if you're gonna erase it?!
[GAZEL]
What's wrong?
Uh! It's nothing important.
This is a distilled liquor
made from apples.
We're working on the prospect
of importing more fruit,
so we should be able
to make more soon.
[GAZEL] Importing? Does that
mean you've found other nations
with which to establish
new relations besides Dwargon?
The Kingdom of Blumund, perhaps?
Yeah. But not just with them.
The fruit's from
the Animal Kingdom--
From Eurazania?!
Uh. Yes?
That arrogant Beast King made
a deal with another nation?!
First, you earned the favor
of Demon Lord Milim,
and now with Demon Lord
Carrion, as well?
Are you a seducer
of Demon Lords?
[RIMURU]
No, not at all!
I just happened to help out
someone who serves
the Demon Lord Carrion.
After that, it sort of led
to discussions of trade
between our nations.
In fact, we only just recently
sent delegations to each other.
You must realize this
will cause the importance
of Tempest to skyrocket.
It's quite possible it could
replace the Kingdom of Falmuth
as the major trade center.
Yes. That's a fair point.
I seriously doubt it.
Plus, our main goal is to finish
establishing transport routes
so our trades can run smoothly.
[GAZEL] Setting aside
talk of the future.
I admit this drink is far better
than any alcohol I've imported
from Falmuth directly.
I hope your
partnership succeeds.
[RIMURU]
The Kingdom of Falmuth, huh?
I'm pretty sure that's the
country that Youm is from.
Ah... Ah-choo!
[sniffles]
You sick?
No way. I bet you anything
someone's talking about me.
[RIMURU]
Now that I think about it,
he doesn't mention
his home very much.
What's the Kingdom of
Falmuth like, anyway?
Well. I'd rank it as
number one or two
among all the Western Provinces.
Our nation also depends
on imports from Falmuth,
as well as the empire,
for most of our food.
Although... Between
just you and me?
[RIMURU]
Huh...?
I don't care for Falmuth's king.
[RIMURU]
Whoa, for real?
He's too greedy
for his own good.
So no matter what it takes, you
must succeed in your trade talks
with Eurazania.
Understand?
And one more thing--
make sure you supply your senior
with plenty of tasty alcohol.
[RIMURU groans] I'm starting to
think you have ulterior motives.
Worry not, sir!
Whoo!
Ah! Shion?
When did you start drinking?
Bwah! Leave it to my lord!
He'll have that trade
locked in no time splat!
Ka-boom!
Like a trade expl*si*n!
--[RIMURU] What?!
--[SHION laughs]
'Cause of him,
our food tastes yummy!
Every single meal
on our table is like
an imported feast, y'know?
And y'can bet your royal bottom
that more delicious booze
like this is gonna be
rolled in by the barrelful!
You can trust Lord Rimuru!
[SHUNA whimpers]
[SHION]
Ah...
[gasps]
[RIMURU]
And safe...
[gasps]
[SHION moans softly]
[RIMURU] Holy wow, what am
I gonna do with this girl?
I'm sorry!
Please forgive
my companion's rudeness!
[BOTH laugh]
[SHUNA]
Hmm...?
[RIMURU]
Yeah, sorry about my secretary.
It's fine. You should take
her to go get some rest.
Right. Please pardon us.
[SHUNA]
How embarrassing.
You can say that again.
[SHION chuckles softly]
Somehow... I still wanna live up
to her expectations, though.
Shuna. Once we're
back in our quarters,
let's go over the speech
one more time.
Right!
[RIMURU]
The night passed.
And the next day, we had a big
rally to publicly announce
the declaration of friendship
between Dwargon and Tempest.
Basically, it's an opportunity
to stand before
the king's citizens and show
them that we're friends.
More or less.
My being here doesn't
just represent me,
but all of Tempest, as well.
It's important that I give
a proper greeting
and make a good impression.
Nice to meet you!
Wah!
Ahem!
I'm the leader of the Jura
Tempest Federation,
or Tempest for short.
I'm Rimuru Tempest.
[cheering, applause]
[applause]
[RIMURU]
Oh! Thank you so much!
[RIMURU] So, my biggest wish
is to build a nation
that will serve as a bridge
between monster
and human society.
Dwargon is already a nation in
which monsters and humans
both exist and prosper together.
You've already achieved my goal.
I couldn't be more grateful to
King Gazel for his endorsement
and overall support
of my ideal nation.
I would like to continue
to uphold our relationship
of mutual aid, but to do that,
I'm going to need
everyone's cooperation.
In addition to myself,
there are many other monsters
who call our country home.
It would be fair to say
we're a nation of monsters.
But the truth is, in our hearts,
we're no different
from any of the citizens here.
I hope that, instead of fearing
us because we're monsters,
you'll accept us
as your new allies.
I promise you that my words
convey only my honest feelings.
And with that, I'll conclude
my greeting to you.
[cheering, applause]
--Lord Rimuru!
--[RANGA howls]
[ELVES giggle]
[RIMURU sighs]
[RIMURU] Well... I guess
we can call my speech a success!
Way too short.
Atrociously humble.
Too dependent on their sympathy.
I award you zero points.
[RIMURU groans]
[GAZEL] The ruler of a nation
shouldn't address citizens
with such humility.
Especially not the citizens
of a foreign nation.
They'll look down on you.
[RIMURU groans]
You cannot rule with such weak
thoughts like, "I hope,"
and, "I wish."
Wonderful things don't come
about by using pretty words.
No, you have to make
them come about yourself.
[RIMURU]
Right...
[RIMURU] Man, I totally
sucked at giving speeches
back when I was a human, too.
Some things never change.
[RIMURU] But... I don't think
he'd be so honest with me
unless he was sincere
about wanting this to succeed.
I really am blessed with
some awesome friendships.
I should thank him.
[RIMURU] Somehow or another,
I managed to make it through
my big speech in the
Armed Nation of Dwargon.
[RIMURU] To celebrate,
I decided to treat myself a bit.
[RIMURU]
Yep. When it comes to Dwargon,
there's always one place
I make sure to visit!
[RIMURU] It's the
Butterflies of the Night.
An Elf paradise!
[gasping]
[RIMURU]
Gobta.
You didn't let Shuna or Shion
see you leave, right?
We're good, sir!
[RIMURU]
Follow me.
To the promised land!
--Yeah!
--Okay!
Hello there!
We've been waiting,
Mister Slime!
[RIMURU]
I've returned to Hooter Heaven!
[gasping]
[RIMURU]
It's the E.I.L.Fs!
I mean--elf ladies!
You look great!
[ELF WOMAN K]
Thank you!
[ELF WOMAN I]
Excuse me. I'll take that.
Hello!
[RIMURU]
Hell yes!
[ELF WOMAN I]
You're all boingy!
[RIMURU]
You're all boingy...
[whimpering]
[RIMURU chuckling]
Oh, wow, it's been forever.
We were starting to think that
you'd forgotten about us,
you know.
[RIMURU]
Impossible!
[ELF WOMAN B]
Oh, really?
[RIMURU]
I mean it!
[ELF WOMAN J]
Welcome, boys.
You must be
Mister Slime's friends.
We're glad you're here.
[GOBTA whimpering]
[yells]
[ELF WOMAN J chuckles]
Uh. Thank you for your service!
[ELF WOMAN J giggles]
Do you have anything for me?
[GOBTA whimpering]
--My love.
--That's sweet of you.
[RIMURU]
I admire Gobta's bravery,
and her ability to dodge it.
Your other friends are
seated over there, Mister Slime.
[laughter]
Hey, Rimuru!
Thanks for inviting me to your
little get together tonight.
[RIMURU]
No problem-o, my dude!
I'm happy you could join us.
You know. Seeing your slime form
feels more natural.
[RIMURU] Hold up, what's wrong
with my human form?
Oh, nothing's
wrong with it, per se.
I just prefer this one.
[RIMURU]
Sure, whatever.
Anyway, you guys
can relax and chat tonight.
[KAIJIN]
You idiot!
Who wants to chat with a bunch
of guys in a place like this?
We've got these
beautiful ladies to talk to!
I prefer their attention.
Yeah, my bro's right, Rimuru!
It'd be rude to
ignore these ladies!
[RIMURU] I'm starting to see
the family resemblance.
You're so good, Gobta!
Amazing!
[GOBTA grunting]
[chuckles]
You girls really think so?
Honestly, this nothing
for someone like me.
--[laughs]
--[RIMURU groans]
[ELF WOMAN J]
There we go.
[GOBTA]
Ah! Ah!
That's dangerous--
what are you doing?!
I should probably warn you
that's a rather expensive glass.
So be careful. Don't drop it.
--Wow. You're so cruel!
--[laughing]
[GOBTA whimpering]
Ah!
If you let that glass break...
Let's see...
I suppose you'll just have
to pay for it with your body.
[giggles]
[gasps]
--[screams]
--[gasping]
--[crashing, glass shattering]
--[ELF WOMEN screaming]
[ELF WOMAN K]
Gobta?! Are you okay?!
[ELF WOMAN A]
Hang in there!
[ELF WOMAN J]
I was joking!
[GOBTA whimpering]
[RIMURU]
Excuse me, do you have a minute?
[OWNER A]
For you? I have several.
[RIMURU] Do you think this is
something you could sell here?
[OWNER A]
What is it?
[RIMURU] A new kind of liquor
produced in my country.
Unfortunately,
I can't give you much,
since I have to save
some for the King,
but you could reserve it
for some of your regulars.
I'd love to hear their thoughts.
Interesting.
Are you sure, though?
[RIMURU] Yep! All I need
is for you to research
how much someone's
willing to pay for one glass.
Well, now. You're quite
a business-slime, aren't you?
--[RIMURU chuckles]
--[OWNER A giggles]
I didn't know you could be
such a smooth talker.
Your speech was so stiff.
[RIMURU]
Wait, you were watching?
Quite closely.
[RIMURU] Oh, that was just, um,
you know, part of my plan!
I wanted to look humble.
[OWNER A chuckles]
Don't worry, I believe you.
For what it's worth, you made
a good impression on me.
You came off as very sincere.
I think it's
an important quality.
And it draws people to you.
Well done.
In that respect, I would've
given you a perfect score.
[RIMURU gasps]
Your goal is appealing.
A mixed nation.
Yes. One that
welcomes all races.
Where we can all live freely.
[RIMURU chuckles]
That means a lot.
[OWNER A giggles]
[RIMURU] After that,
we partied maybe a bit too late
into the night.
[DWARVES laughing,
muttering indistinctly]
[RIMURU]
Bunch of drunks.
Plus, someone's anemic now.
Hey, Gobta, you good?
I feel dizzy...
[RIMURU]
I'm sure.
Listen up, boys.
Don't let anyone see you
when you head back
to your rooms, okay?
The dream we enjoyed
tonight is our little secret!
[GOBLIN BOYS]
Right!
[RIMURU]
Then we're off!
[SHUNA]
Can I be of assistance?
[RIMURU]
Yeah, that'd be gr--
Wah!
Sh-Sh-Sh-Sh--
[GREAT SAGE] Notice.
Intense energy detected
behind her smile.
[RIMURU]
Tell me something I don't know!
[RIMURU]
Wh-Wh-Wh-Wh-Wh-Wh-Wh-Wh--
Why am I here, you ask?
[RIMURU gasps, grunts]
Well, Gobzo was polite
enough to tell me everything.
[RIMURU gasps]
Gobzo?!
How could you, you traitor?!
Oh, uh. Easy.
Princess Shuna asked me to tell
her where we were all going.
She's so friendly.
[RIMURU]
You've doomed us all, you fool!
[SHION]
You're terrible, Lord Rimuru.
[RIMURU gasps]
You left us behind.
How dare you!
[RIMURU] Listen, Shion,
it's not what you think!
[screams]
How could you go
without telling us?!
[RIMURU wailing]
[SHION groans]
As for you boys...
Were you also involved in this
plan to sneak out tonight...?
[whimpering]
[GOBLIN BOYS whimpering]
[DWARVES groaning]
--[SHION] Ugh!
--[gasping]
I had no intention
of stopping you.
You're free to do
whatever you wish, my lord.
Although... I am a little
disappointed in you.
[RIMURU groans]
Uh--
[gasping]
Huh?
[RIMURU] An excuse will
only make things worse.
Time to own up to this!
[RIMURU]
Please forgive me!
And now, I have no excuse!
I will use my slime cuteness
to erase my crimes!
[grunts]
Sowwy!
[BOTH gasp]
[SHUNA]
I understand.
[RIMURU giggles]
[SHUNA] Just live on Shion's
cooking for one week,
and we'll call it even.
[RIMURU]
Thank you-- What?!
You mean it, Princess Shuna?
Yes! Do your best, Shion!
--[groaning]
--Yay! This will be amazing!
[RIMURU groans]
Way too short.
Atrociously humble.
Too dependent on their sympathy.
[RIMURU] King Gazel.
That dude knows his stuff.
[RIMURU sighs]
Um...
Think we could cut
it down to three days?
Nope, one week.
[RIMURU]
Cool...
[howls]
[RIMURU] Maybe things
didn't end as planned,
but with our tasks
completed in Dwargon,
we were finally ready
to head back home.
Huh? Ah. Over there.
That's him.
The Champion known as Youm.
[YOUM]
There you are, Isaac.
Hey.
This is my sister.
She was hoping to meet with you.
Do you have a minute?
Sister?
I happen to be
very good with magic.
I think I could prove
to be useful to your party.
It would seem...
...that you're a bit lacking
when it comes to magic users.
Yeah, I'll pass. We're actually
good on that front.
What could a mere woman
like you do, anyway?
[MJURRAN]
Hmph. Well, by all means,
allow me to show you what
a "mere woman" can do.
Heh?
[YOUM growls]
[yelps]
Earth Lock!
[YOUM grunts]
--Can't move!
--[gasping]
[KAJIR] I had no idea simple
magic could be used that way!
Air sh*t, go!
[YOUM]
Just you wait!
I will b*at you!
It's over.
Pathetic, I had no idea
you lacked basic resistance
to abnormal statuses.
You have practically
no defense against magic.
[YOUM groans]
[panting
Stop, okay? You're the winner.
[grunts] You're pretty strong.
What's your name?
Mjurran.
Mjurran.
Nice.
[gasps]
[GREAT SAGE] Next time, "The
Scheming Kingdom of Falmuth."
