[RIMURU] With my
excursion to Dwargon over,
I made a quick trip
to Ingrassia.
[RIMURU] I will now announce
the results of your final exams.
[whimpering]
--What?
--He melted!
Whoa. That bad?!
[RIMURU]
It turns out that all of you...
[gulping, whimpering]
[RIMURU]
...passed the test!
[groaning]
Hey! Don't scare us like that!
[RIMURU] Life's more fun
with a few surprises.
Whatever! We passed.
Yep! Not that I ever doubted
our test-taking abilities.
Looks like we'll advance
to the next grade.
And we'll get to stay together.
Yay! Thank goodness!
[RIMURU]
You guys were awesome sauce.
Now that you've passed your
finals, my job as your teacher
is officially donion rings.
Once this term ends, Professor
Tiss will take over for me,
and I'll return back
home to Tempest.
How sad.
[RIMURU]
Turn that frown upside down!
I have a few days left and I
wanna be sent off with a smile.
I'll let you in on a secret.
Alice. Chloe. Ryota.
Kenya and Gale.
No matter where I'm at,
I'll never forget you.
Thank you, Teach.
[gasps] More importantly, don't
forget about your promise to us!
[RIMURU]
What promise?
[KENYA]
Come on!
Don't play dumb.
You said if we passed finals,
you'd give us more manga!
[RIMURU]
Don't worry, I know.
I've got every last volume
of Parasyte ready for you.
Heck yeah!
[laughter]
[RIMURU] Professor Tiss,
the kids are advancing to
the next grade,
thanks to your help.
Oh, it wasn't me.
They're the ones who
did all the hard work.
Well, regardless.
I'm glad I can leave them
in such capable hands.
Take good care of them for me.
Right!
We're here.
Check it out, Myulan.
[YOUM]
That's the nation of monsters,
the Jura Tempest Federation.
Allow me to introduce our newest
group member, Myulan the wizard.
Hello, Myulan.
It's a pleasure to meet you.
[MYULAN]
Likewise.
Welcome. Please make
yourself at home.
Myulan's going to be our
consultant and m*llitary advisor.
She'll help us fight
against magical att*cks.
Really? You must be very strong!
[MYULAN]
Uh, I wouldn't say that.
[hammer banging]
[saw grinding]
Are you guys having a festival?
We're not.
But Lord Rimuru will be making
his official return soon.
It's more of a welcome
back celebration.
[MYULAN gasps]
[SHION]
Well, then.
We still have some work
we need to take care of.
Excuse us.
Oh. Feel free to visit
the hot spring later.
The hot spring?
[SHUNA] You'll feel much
better after a good sweat.
Right. I'll check
it out, thank you.
[MYULAN]
So those are Kijin.
Each one of them is
tremendously powerful.
Shall we, then?
I'll give you the grand
tour of Tempest.
[YOUM]
This is the blacksmith's shop.
Those two make the best
armor and weapons
you'll ever lay eyes on.
[MYULAN gasps]
[YOUM]
This is our newest build.
Pretty fancy, huh?
Uh-huh.
[KIDS laughing]
[LIZARDMAN F]
Good afternoon!
Oh, thanks so much
for swinging by!
Of course. Here's the supply
of high potions.
Perfect. They're all here.
Then we just need
your signature, please!
[KOBY]
No problem.
I think we may need to increase
our orders starting next month.
I'll come and discuss the
details as soon as I can.
So, will you please
let Gabiru know?
Just leave everything to us!
[MYULAN] They're really able to
produce that many high potions?
[MYULAN] Given their m*llitary
strength and technologies,
this nation is truly
a formidable thr*at.
[YOUM]
Hey. Something wrong?
[MYULAN gasps]
No. Everything's fine.
C'mon, I'll show you
the training ground.
[MYULAN]
What a gullible man.
Unbelievable.
I'm only here on Lord Clayman's
orders to investigate
this nation of monsters.
Yes. I'm merely using Youm.
[MYULAN]
He's a fool.
And what's more,
I doubt he suspects I'm a majin.
All right, let's take a break.
[groaning]
My body...
I can't be sure, but I think the
old man broke everything.
Ow, I can't feel my face...
Hey. Quick question.
Is that Ogre-- I mean,
Master Hakurou,
always so unforgiving
during training?
[GOBTA]
Pretty much.
I can't feel my face.
--[GRUCIUS groans]
--[GOBTA] Aw, man.
This is getting old.
All right. Enough dying.
On your feet!
Every day? Really?
I'm starting to think it's
a miracle that you guys
are even still alive--it's
actually kind of impressive.
I wish we could recruit your
group into the Animal Kingdom.
[YOUM]
Hey. Grucius!
[GRUCIUS]
Huh? What's up, Youm?
[YOUM chuckles]
So, a rough day of training?
Shut up, Youm.
Who's the girl?
Oh. This is Myulan, our newest
and most skilled member.
I bet you wouldn't be able
to stand against her.
"Most skilled"? Seriously?
I don't believe it.
A scrawny little woman
like her b*at you?
You're more than welcome
to fight her yourself.
If you manage the impossible
and take her down,
I'll call you "boss"
from here on out.
Fair enough. If she somehow
manages to defeat me,
then I'll gladly
become your underling.
[MYULAN sighs]
Unlike Youm, I won't go
easy on you just because
you have a pretty face.
[sighs]
Here goes!
[YOUM laughs]
I wonder how many other people
you can crush, Myulan?
Some champion you are!
Get me out of here!
[sighs]
[GRUCIUS]
Hey, lady.
You b*at me.
Ah, so you admit it, do you?
Like I have much of a choice.
You're a strong one.
Very impressive.
--Isn't she?
--[chuckles]
Now then, let's talk about
that promise you made.
Yeah, yeah. You won,
so I'll start calling you boss.
Oh, I wasn't serious about that.
Nope, you and I had a deal.
I should warn you, though.
[YOUM]
Huh?
If Lord Carrion
ordered me to k*ll you,
then I would not hesitate.
No matter what, I'm still
loyal to the Beast King.
Sorry, but that's a rule
I could never possibly yield on.
Fair enough.
I'll keep that in mind.
I think it would be interesting
to visit some new countries.
So, I'll join
your party for now.
That's fine by me,
but are you sure?
My personal mission is
to broaden my horizons,
so yeah, I'm positive.
I say, comrades, that fight
was truly incredible.
It was?
You've given me a great idea.
With our new lady
friend's magic,
we could finally pulverize
that mean geezer!
[GRUCIUS] Hold on. By "geezer,"
you mean Master Hakurou?
What sort of plan
did you have in mind?
Hey, not so loud, fools!
Listen up.
The first step is to utilize
Myulan's magic, and then...
[MYULAN]
What in the world am I doing?
This is pointless.
[HAKUROU]
Oh? A mock battle?
Yeah, today is the day
we'll finally make you
cry out in misery!
I hope you're ready, old ma--
I mean, uh, Master!
[YOUM] Does Gobta think
he can provoke a kijin?
I commend your spirit.
Besides, it's about
time I gave you
some real-life practice again.
[GOBTA] Our pre-set magic
circle is already in place.
Now we just gotta
lead him into it.
[HAKUROU]
Let the mock battle commence!
[GOBTA gasps, grunts]
I figured he'd come
straight for me!
Liquefaction.
[HAKUROU]
Hmm.
We've got him!
Everyone strike at once--
[gasping]
[GOBTA]
The old man disappeared?!
[gasping]
Who you calling "old man"?!
[yelps]
Wh-Wh-Wh-Wh-Where were you?!
--[HAKUROU] Hmph!
--[GOBTA groans]
No way!
How did he even
get out of the ground?
I used Flash Step.
A skill I taught you.
[YOUM whimpers]
Now then, would you three
care to explain yourselves?
What could've possessed you to
try and trap a poor "old man"
such as myself?
[whimpering]
Well, sir--
Oh, please. I wasn't
referring to you, my dear.
I have no doubt you were
merely dragged into this scheme
by these idiots.
Okay...
While I would hope that you
three don't need to be reminded,
I will still warn you not to
test something so foolish
on Lord Rimuru.
Yeah, we're not that stupid.
Lord Rimuru's way too strong--
he'd pulverize us.
Oh, you think so?
Sometimes, I get the feeling he
would be quite easily deceived.
[RIMURU sneezes]
[MJOLMIRE]
What was that, you got a cold?
No way, someone's probably
talking about me.
That's true, you're
certainly popular enough.
Anyway, care for another round?
[RIMURU] Sure, there's
always room for more!
[MJOLMIRE chuckles]
Aw, yeah. I'm alive again.
I don't think that
geezer will ever die,
even if we did k*ll him.
C'mon, Gobta.
Maybe it would be a more
prudent idea to just give up
on trying to catch Master
Hakurou off-guard.
No, He must suffer the way
that we have suffered!
Your determination
is rather impressive.
To be honest, I was more
impressed with the wizard lady.
She was really amazing!
[chuckles] I know.
Not to mention, attractive.
You said it. I wonder if she
would bare my children.
Sorry, pal, but there's
no way that's happening!
Don't forget that
Myulan works for me!
All's fair in love and w*r.
The swift get the spoils.
[GOBTA]
"The swift get the spoils"?
I am on it!
[YOUM]
Whoa! Back off, Gobta.
[SHUNA groans]
Those boys have
such vulgar thoughts.
Don't you worry, Princess Shuna!
I'll go give them an attitude
adjustment by b*ating them
until they beg us for mercy!
I'd be more than happy
to help with that.
[giggling]
Read faster, Ken,
I'm waiting on you!
Wait your turn, Alice,
I just got to the good part!
I never saw this twist coming.
Now that's some good writing.
[CHLOE whimpers]
[RIMURU]
So, how's business treating ya?
[MJOLMIRE] Thanks to you,
our top-quality high potion's
attracted tons of buyers.
We've made sure to spread the
word in the Western Provinces,
so we should be getting a wealth
of new orders fairly soon.
[RIMURU] And you'll make
a small fortune, right?
[MJOLMIRE]
Naturally.
Then again, that's what
this job is all about.
Oh, but don't you worry,
I'll definitely make sure that
the Jura Tempest Federation
gets its fair share of profits!
Yeah, I wasn't really
worried to begin with.
[MJOLMIRE] And speaking of
money, tonight is on me, okay?
To thank you for the business,
and to give you
a little farewell party,
sound good?
I guess I can
allow it this one time.
Baron Veryard is quite grateful
for your business, too.
Once those high potions
are on the market,
the Kingdom of Blumund stands
to make a fair amount of money.
[RIMURU]
Veryard, huh?
[RIMURU] Don't get me wrong,
I'm glad that Tempest
and the Kingdom of Blumund were
able to forge a security pact.
But they kinda got me.
If some other country
tries to inv*de Blumund
through the forest,
then Tempest would have to serve
as a breakwater,
which feels like
a lot of pressure, you know?
Yes, but that's
the nature of politics.
Though on the reverse
side of things,
if Tempest were the one being
invaded by another nation,
then Blumund would likely
come fight by your side.
It's meant to be
mutually beneficial.
Yeah, except no one would
want to inv*de Tempest.
[MJOLMIRE growls] I wouldn't be
so quick to make such statements
if I were you.
[RIMURU]
Hmm?
Believe it or not, I suspect
that the tiny nation of Tempest
will continue to grow into
a major trade center.
I think Dorf said something
along those lines, too.
If it does play out that way,
there are regions who will see
your growing nation as nothing
more than an obstacle to cross.
The Kingdom of Falmuth
is a prime example.
[RIMURU]
Huh?
[laughs]
You should see your face!
It's nothing worth
worrying about right away.
Look, all I'm saying is,
it doesn't hurt to be prepared.
For sure. I got ya.
[RIMURU]
The Kingdom of Falmuth.
King Gazel literally
just told me how much
he doesn't like their king.
Didn't he say he was,
like, mega greedy?
[EDOMALIS]
Youm the champion, you say?
Yes, sir. Based on
a rumor that we've heard,
he and his party were
supposedly responsible
for the defeat of the Orc Lord.
[grunting]
[RAZEN] Though calling him
a "champion" is ridiculous.
Well, be that as it may,
the Freedom Union did report
that the Orc Lord
definitely appeared.
Indeed, which would mean
the story does possess
some measure of truth.
Further regarding
"Youm the champion,"
it would seem he has taken up
residence in Tempest.
[EDOMALIS]
Hmm... Tempest.
You mean the nation of monsters?
That's right. Ever since
it was first founded,
the flow of merchants into
the Kingdom of Falmuth
has rapidly declined.
Our financial
situation is quite dire.
I believe this is because
merchants can now safely travel
to Dwargon without
passing through here.
[EDOMALIS]
Hmm...
To be honest, this is
a matter of life and death
for the Kingdom of Falmuth.
Should Tempest continue
to go unchecked,
they will become renowned in
the Western Provinces as well.
Action against them
will be infeasible.
We must strike while we're able.
Yes, but evolved monsters
present a difficult problem.
With their humanoid forms
comes intelligence,
which in turn, makes them
even more formidable enemies.
Yes, I see. How many men do
we have that could mobilize now?
Roughly , men.
That's not enough.
[grunting]
[REYHEIM] There's no need
to worry, my king.
[FOLGEN]
Hmm?
What's this, Archbishop Reyheim?
Are you implying
the Western Holy Church
has some sort of plan?
Yes, Your Majesty.
In fact, I've been meaning
to inform you that
the Western Holy Church's
headquarters plan to subjugate
the nation of monsters
as an enemy nation
in clear opposition to God.
Please pardon the delay.
My word! You're saying
the Western Holy Church
has recognized Tempest as
a legitimate enemy to our God?
[gasping]
[gasps]
[REYHEIM] However,
they've yet to prove themselves
to be dangerous.
Perhaps we could request
help from another country
to assist in
subjugating them. Yes?
[EDOMALIS] Hmm... So you require
some assistance, do you?
[chuckles] Speaking
hypothetically, of course.
[REYHEIM chuckles]
If a citizen of our nation
were to be harmed by one of
these monsters, what do you
suppose would happen to them?
Excellent question. If something
so tragic were to occur,
the Western Holy Church
would assume the responsibility
of sending the Temple Knights
to rescue its believers.
How very reassuring.
In which case, our kingdom
could then back up the church
and help subdue
the monsters in Tempest.
Yes, indeed. This is
nothing short of a holy w*r!
We'll begin by sending
in an advance party
to start a commotion!
My king. If I may be so bold,
let's show them our power.
For the advance party,
we should send the Otherworlders
we have at our disposal.
Excellent idea. Those
monstrosities might actually
prove to be
rather useful to us.
Regardless, we must
not let our guard down.
[RAZEN]
Fret not, Your Majesty.
To be cautious, we shall
order them to return
after a brief rampage.
[REYHEIM]
My king. If it pleases you,
would you grant me
the honor of allowing me
to try out my secret art?
And what would that be?
Pardon.
[inaudible]
--[whispering]
--Oh...?
[chuckles]
[laughs]
That does sound interesting!
Very well.
I shall allow it, Reyheim.
Thank you so much, my king.
I assure you that I will
use my skills expressly for
Your Majesty's glory.
[EDOMALIS chuckles]
[SHOGO]
A nation ruled by a slime?
Are you messing with me?!
Shogo. No need for tantrums.
Allow me to
finish speaking first.
Slimes are weak monsters!
How could one become
the ruler of the forest?
Shogo isn't trying to
be rude with his statement.
It's different in our world.
Slimes are rather famous
for being starter monsters.
Regardless, I'm ordering you
three to travel to Tempest
along with of
our best knights
as part of an advance
scouting party.
Get packed.
Oh, wow!
It's been forever since
we went anywhere new!
This is ridiculous.
They're really mobilizing
the army for a stupid slime?
Yes, well, when that
slime controls forces in
the tens of thousands,
I'd say it's perfectly normal
to see it as a thr*at.
Who knows for sure?
Especially with how
absurdly pathetic the humans
in this world tend to be.
[KIRARA giggles] Have you
ever thought that maybe
you're just too strong?
I mean, the Unique Skills
meant for combat here
are assigned so randomly.
Aren't they, Mister Beserker?
You might say that,
but I think yours are
a whole lot scarier, Kirara.
No joke.
Your skills are definitely
a force to be reckoned with.
[KIRARA laughs]
[SHOGO growls]
Damn that stupid old bastard!
I'm tired of him ordering us
around so much!
He's, like, so annoying!
For real! I'm totally gonna
k*ll the guy one day.
Don't say that, guys,
he's not that bad.
On the plus side, at least
if we do what he says,
he gives us all of the best
food, clothes, and housing
this world has to offer.
Yeah, maybe, but shouldn't
that be a given?
The "best this world
has to offer" is still garbage
compared to the things
we're used to back in our world!
Um, you can say that again!
This place is seriously
lacking in stylish shops,
not to mention the absence
of internet and smartphones.
A world as boring as this one
doesn't deserve to exist
and I couldn't care less if
it collapsed in on itself.
[KYOYA chuckles]
[KYOYA] Shogo and Kirara
don't seem happy about it,
but I see this as
an opportunity.
If w*r breaks out,
we can k*ll the men
who control us.
It might be the only way
to regain our freedom.
Heh.
[snoring]
[RIMURU] At the time,
I was still blissfully unaware.
I had no idea that a crisis
was about to befall Tempest.
