02x01 - Rimuru's Busy Life

[bunniefuu]

Rimuru: Alice Rondo-san.

Alice: Here!

Rimuru: Chloe Aubert-san.

Chloe: Here.

Rimuru: Okay, everyone's here.

Rimuru: As I told you previously,

Rimuru: I'll be leaving Freedom Academy at the end of the current term.

Chloe: Sensei...

Rimuru: Hey, don't look so sad.

Rimuru: I'll come back to visit all the time.

Kenya: Hmph. Don't bother.

Alice: Yeah! It'll be a relief to have you gone!

Ryota: What's with the tough act?

Gale: You guys just can't be honest with yourselves.

Chloe: Rimuru-sensei, you really will come visit, right?

Rimuru: Yeah, of course.

Rimuru: That said, we still have more than a month left until then.

Rimuru: Also, you guys still have your finals to get through first,

Rimuru: so you'd better study hard!

Kenya: Ugh, finals?

Tiss: Rimuru-sensei, I'm here.

Rimuru: Oh, time for Tiss-sensei's class.

Rimuru: Come on in.

Rimuru: You guys better not make any trouble for Tiss-sensei, you hear?

Kenya: We wouldn't make any trouble.

Gale: Tiss-sensei traveled to Guratol with us.

Gale: We have a pretty tight bond with her now.

Tiss: Yes, they're all great kids.

Rimuru: Great kids, huh?

Rimuru: Okay, Tiss-sensei, they're all yours.

Tiss: Sure.

Ryota: What're you going to do, Rimuru-sensei?

Alice: Take a nap or something, I bet.

Rimuru: Tsk, tsk, tsk!

Rimuru: Alice-kun, despite appearances, I have quite a lot of work to do!

Rimuru: Until next time, everyone!

Tiss: See you later, Rimuru-sensei!

Tiss: All right, let's start class.

Kids: Yes, ma'am!

Rimuru: Looks like she's getting along pretty well with them.

Ranga: Yes.

Rimuru: I guess this means I can count on Tiss-sensei to take over for me.

Rimuru: Well, then...

Rimuru: Yes, I'm very busy.

Rimuru: Not only do I have the kids of Freedom Academy to look after,

Rimuru: but I also have lots to do for Tempest, our nation of monsters.

Rimuru: Which means

Rimuru: the Spatial Movement skill I got by analyzing that air spirit sure is coming in handy.

Rimuru: Yep, looks like another peaceful day in Tempest.

Rimuru: I'm Rimuru Tempest, and I'm a slime.

Rimuru: When I was a human, I was stabbed in a random attack,

Rimuru: and I thought I had died...

Rimuru: but I reincarnated in this world as a slime.

Rimuru: I became friends with the Storm Dragon, Veldora...

Rimuru: I built a nation of monsters...

Rimuru: And I fought to protect everyone in it.

Rimuru: Shizu-san's lingering regret...

Rimuru: was those kids,

Rimuru: and I succeeded in saving them.

Rimuru: Now we can rest easy.

Rimuru: My time as a teacher is almost over now.

Rimuru: There sure have been lots of ups and downs,

Rimuru: and a lot of pretty tough times, but now...

Rimuru: You know, Ranga, I hope this peace will last forever.

Title: Rimuru's Busy Life

Rimuru: I got involved in a bit of a mess with the Demon Lord Carrion,

Rimuru: but then we signed a non-aggression pact, ending all hostilities between us.

Rimuru: Then I accepted Carrion's proposal

Rimuru: that the Jura Tempest Federation and the Animal Kingdom of Eurazania

Text: Jura Tempest Federation

Text: Animal Kingdomof Eurazania

Rimuru: should each send out delegations to the other country.

Rimuru: I appointed Benimaru to lead our delegation,

Rimuru: with Rigur as his assistant.

Rigurd: Rigur has grown into such a fine man!

Rimuru: Today is the momentous day upon which our delegation departs,

Rimuru: and I'm back in Tempest to see them off.

Rimuru: Hmm, not bad.

Rimuru: Urgh... This shape is kinda hard to hold...

Shion: Great Rimuru, thank you for waiting.

Shuna: We've selected some ceremonial outfits for you to choose from.

Rimuru: Th-Thanks!

Rimuru: I guess I'll try them on right now.

Rimuru: I don't think this is quite right...

Shuna: Then how about this one?

Rimuru: Huh?! I don't know about this one, either...

Shion: I recommend this one!

Shion: You look fantastic, Great Rimuru!

Shuna: It suits you perfectly!

Rimuru: Listen, Shuna, Shion...

Rimuru: I think something more somber and respectful would be more appropriate.

Shion: More somber and respectful?

Rimuru: This delegation is important to the future of Tempest.

Rimuru: I want to send them off right.

Shion: I see!

Shuna: We do have some things that are somber and respectful.

Guy: Hey, it's starting.

All: Great Rimuru!

Gobta: Great Rimuru looks amazing! Doesn't he, Gobzo?!

Gabiru: Y-You look great!

Lizard: So do you, Sir Gabiru!

Lizard: Indeed!

Lizard: Not bad.

Ranga: Master, you look splendid!

Shion: Everyone, be silent!

Rimuru: I wish you all the best in carrying out this mission.

Shuna: That's it?

Rimuru: Was that too short?!

Rimuru: Okay, I'll add a bit more.

Rimuru: Tempest has grown vastly more prosperous than it was before,

Rimuru: but it is still inexperienced as a nation.

Rimuru: If we can build a favorable relationship with Eurazania,

Rimuru: we can find ways to utilize the things that make their nation great,

Rimuru: which will help our own nation progress even further.

Rimuru: However...

Rimuru: The Demon Lord Carrion, ruler of Eurazania,

Text: Tempest

Text: Winged Nationof Fulbrosia

Text: Animal Kingdomof Eurazania

Text: Kusha Mountains

Text: Ameld River

Rimuru: also known as the Beastmaster, is a hardcore militant type.

Rimuru: He might be thinking, "Power is everything!"

Rimuru: If it looks like a fight's about to break out, come straight back here.

Rimuru: Our goal is not to fight.

Rimuru: It's to find out if our nations can get along,

Rimuru: or if we need to sever relations with them.

Rimuru: Although this is for the good of Tempest,

Rimuru: you don't need to force yourself to endure any more than necessary.

Rimuru: I'm counting on you!

All: Yes, sir!

Gabiru: Great Rimuru! I'm so moved!

Lizard: There, there...

Rimuru: I should be the one going out there, to be honest.

Benimaru: No, until we confirm that it is safe,

Benimaru: I believe you should refrain from entering a Demon Lord's domain.

Benimaru: I will discern with my own eyes whether or not the Demon Lord Carrion can be trusted.

Rimuru: Thanks.

Rimuru: Remember, whatever you do, don't go picking a fight.

Benimaru: No need to worry.

Rimuru: So reliable! Benimaru's really grown up!

Rimuru: Good luck to you guys, too, Rigur.

Rigur: Thank you. I will gain as much experience as I can.

Benimaru: We'll be on our way now.

Gobta: Have fun, you guys!

Gabiru: Take care!

Lizard: Good luck!

Shuna: Be safe, Brother!

Lady: Good luck, everyone!

Rimuru: The first steps toward hope for our future, huh?

Rimuru: Here's hoping we can establish formal diplomatic relations

Rimuru: and help both of our nations grow even more.

Rimuru: Thus the first delegation from our nation set out on its way.

Rimuru: And we have to get things ready here at home to welcome Eurazania's delegation, too.

Rimuru: Good, good. Looks like the reception hall will be ready in time.

Rimuru: How are the chefs doing?

Shion: Just fine.

Shion: Princess Shuna is teaching them.

Shion: They're all quick learners and coming along well.

Shuna: Yes... I think it could use just a bit more salt.

Shion: As for the reception hall waiting staff,

Shion: Vesta is giving them guidance.

Rimuru: I guess proper etiquette is kind of his forte.

Rimuru: We can always count on an actual noble.

Shion: And, um... also...

Shion: The date for your visit to the Armed Nation of Dwargon has been set.

Rimuru: Oh, yeah. I need to see King Gazel in person

Rimuru: to thank him again for establishing diplomatic relations with Tempest.

Rimuru: He's probably not too happy with Milim's involvement in the Charybdis incident,

Rimuru: so I need to explain that, too.

Rimuru: Treyni-san!

Treyni: Greetings, Great Rimuru.

Shion: What brings you here? Has something happened?

Treyni: Yes.

Treyni: The delegation from the Animal Kingdom of Eurazania has entered the Great Forest of Jura.

Treyni: I wanted to inform you.

Rimuru: Ah, so they're almost here.

Treyni: They should arrive here in Tempest within five days.

Rimuru: Thanks for letting me know!

Treyni: It was the least I could do.

Treyni: Also, it is likely that they will arrive before the delegation does.

Rimuru: "They"?

Treyni: Yes, the champion's...

Older: It's getting dark. Let's go home.

Younger: Okay!

Mushroom: Mush, mush, mush...

Mushroom: Mush!

Younger: How cute!

Youm: Don't move!

Rimuru: Youm and his buddies.

Rimuru: They used to be a g*ng of ruffians,

Rimuru: but I had them become the champions who defeated the Orc Lord in our place.

Younger: Wow...

Rimuru: If it got out that we defeated the Orc Lord,

Rimuru: it would just make humans wary of us.

Rommel: Are you all right?

Older: Y-Yes... Thank you so much.

Younger: Um... Thank you.

Youm: Better be careful. There are some nasty monsters around here.

Younger: Your sword is so cool!

Youm: I know, right?

Youm: I had it made in a nation of good monsters called Tempest that's just ahead.

Rimuru: They're traveling around telling people everywhere that we're friendly monsters.

Rimuru: And from then on...

Rimuru: I continued to keep busy every day...

Rimuru: right up until the day we welcomed the delegation from Eurazania.

Youm: Wow, this is good.

Kajir: It really is. I've never had it before.

Rimuru: Right? It's called brandy.

Youm: Brandy, you say?

Rimuru: I made it as a special treat since we have guests visiting.

Youm: Oh, yeah? Guests?

Rimuru: Yep. The Demon Lord Carrion's delegation is arriving tomorrow.

Rimuru: Did you do that on purpose?!

Youm: The Demon Lord Carrion?! How the hell did that happen?!

Rimuru: Well, it's a long story...

Shuna: This feels so nice.

Youm: I see.

Rimuru: So it's our chance to establish diplomatic relations.

Youm: I get it.

Youm: A Demon Lord, though? Really?

Youm: Sounds like that's gonna be one scary delegation.

Rimuru: I don't know about that. The goal isn't to fight.

Youm: But you sent Benimaru just in case the unforeseen happens, right?

Youm: Wouldn't they have the same idea?

Rimuru: If they do, it doesn't matter.

Rimuru: I don't want to make a wrong move and waste this chance.

Youm: Yeah, I guess not.

Rimuru: You guys better not pick any fights with the delegates, either.

Youm: Hey, c'mon, Master. My boys and I aren't complete morons.

Youm: Right?

Kajir: You said it.

Rimuru: That's good, then.

Rimuru: By the way, Hakurou was hoping to see you.

Youm: The master?!

Rimuru: He wanted to make sure you haven't gotten rusty.

Youm: Well, that sobered me right up.

Rimuru: Then, the next day...

Rimuru: Here they come.

Rimuru: Horse-drawn carriages?

Rimuru: No, those are tigers... Tiger-drawn carriages?

Rimuru: They look like w*r chariots.

Shion: They're no big deal.

Shion: In the face of your mighty power, that doesn't even work as a bluff.

Rimuru: Wait, wait, wait, Shion-san! They're definitely a big deal!

Shion: All those fancy decorations have no purpose in combat.

Rimuru: Wait, wait, wait, Shion-san!

Rimuru: We're not talking about combat here!

Albis: It is a pleasure to meet you,

Albis: leader of the Jura Tempest Federation, Rimuru Tempest.

Albis: I am Albis, the Golden Serpent,

Text: Animal Kingdom of Eurazania Three BeastketeersThe Golden Serpent Albis

Albis: one of the Demon Lord Carrion's Three Beastketeers.

Rimuru: Wow, he sent his highest-ranking subordinates?

Suphia: You gotta be kidding!

Suphia: I came along 'cause I wondered what kind of monster the leader of Tempest was,

Suphia: and you're just a wussy, little slime?

Text: Animal Kingdom of Eurazania Three BeastketeersThe White Tiger Claw Suphia

Suphia: If you wanna screw with us, you can only take it so far!

Rimuru: Wow, that one looks pretty strong, too.

Albis: Stand down, Suphia.

Albis: You may as well be slinging mud directly onto Lord Carrion's face.

Suphia: Oh, shut up, Albis. You can't order me around.

Suphia: Besides, Dwarves are one thing,

Suphia: but humans, too?

Suphia: Anyone who pals around with puny, insolent, cowardly humans

Suphia: is a disgrace to all monsters!

Rimuru: That's quite the take.

Rimuru: Youm here is my friend,

Rimuru: as well as a fellow student under the same master who taught me.

Suphia: Yeah? So what?

Rimuru: Hey, Youm...

Rimuru: It bugs you to know she just made fun of you, doesn't it?

Rimuru: Why don't you show her what you can do? I'll allow it.

Youm: Whoa, hang on! Weren't we gonna be peaceful about this?!

Rimuru: I wasn't planning to start any fights,

Rimuru: but if the other side does, that's another matter.

Suphia: Oh? You wanna play, human?

Youm: Uh, I...

Kajir: Go get 'er, boss!

Kajir: We can't let her make us look like losers!

Rommel: Please do the honors, Youm!

Youm: All right, fine.

Youm: Master, be sure to clean up the mess when I'm done, okay?

Suphia: Hah! You're asking a slime to clean up the mess?

Suphia: Don't make me laugh!

Rimuru: Sure, I'll take care of... it?

Rimuru: Um... Shion-san?

Shion: All she's done since she arrived is hurl insults toward you.

Shion: I've put up with it all this time,

Shion: but it looks like there was never any need to!

Youm: Huh?

Youm: Wha... um...

Shion: It's me you'll be fighting.

Suphia: Oh?

Suphia: You wanna fight bare-handed, eh?

Suphia: Sounds fun!

Rimuru: Is Shion gonna be okay?

Rimuru: She's fighting on her opponent's terms, without her sword.

Shuna: Don't worry, Great Rimuru.

Shuna: Shion is almost as strong as my brother.

Rimuru: R-Really?

Albis: Honestly, what are we going to do with that Suphia?

Albis: Grucius.

Albis: Go and deal with that human.

Grucius: Ugh.

Grucius: Just because I'm the runt in the Beastketeers,

Text: Beast King's Beastketeers Runt Grucius

Grucius: I have to fight a human?

Grucius: Fine, I'll play with you...

Grucius: human.

Youm: Great. Thanks.

Rimuru: Man, Youm's pretty good.

Rimuru: Grucius is a majin, and they're actually on even footing.

Shuna: Yes, he's fighting magnificently.

Rimuru: Hakurou's training is really paying off!

Kajir: Damn, boss, not bad!

Kajir: That's a champion for ya!

Suphia: I wasn't expecting you to be this much fun!

Shion: Don't underestimate me, Lycanthrope.

Shion: The power of a Kijin can rend the heavens and shatter the earth!

Shion: I'll show you that right now!

Suphia: Great! Show me!

Suphia: Entertain me even more!

Rimuru: Thus, immediately after the delegation from Eurazania arrived,

Rimuru: a ferocious battle broke out.

Rimuru: Of course, I was the one who instigated it.

Great Sage: Next time, "Trade with the Animal Kingdom."
