Rimuru: The delegation from the Animal Kingdom of Eurazania,
Rimuru: sent by the Demon Lord Carrion, arrived in Tempest.
Rimuru: But the moment they did, some things happened...
Rimuru: And this is what it devolved into.
Rimuru: I mean, it is kind of my fault... I guess?
Title: That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime
Title: Episode : Trade with the Animal Kingdom
Suphia: Is that all the strength a Kijin has?
Suphia: You can entertain me a lot more than that!
Shion: That was my intent all along.
Shion: Prepare yourself!
Ranga: That's...
Rimuru: A maximum Magic b*llet?!
Rimuru: H-Hey, Shion, hang on a second!
Rimuru: Do you wanna blow this entire area to bits?!
Rimuru: Oh, jeez! She's not listening!
Suphia: Ooh, nice! Bring it on!
Rimuru: And that Suphia lady is dead set on taking it!
Rimuru: Will there even be anything left of her if that thing hits her?!
Rimuru: What do I do? Stop her?
Shion: Here it comes!
Albis: Stop!
Albis: That is enough.
Rimuru: Beast transformation, huh?
Albis: Let us end this here.
Rimuru: So what's the verdict? Do we pass?
Albis: Yes.
Grucius: We're done here.
Youm: Huh?
Youm: Er, Master, does this mean...
Rimuru: It looks like they were testing us.
Suphia: No complaints here. Your might is impressive.
Suphia: There'll be plenty of value for us in associating with you as equals.
Suphia: I'm convinced of that now.
Suphia: To underestimate the leader of the Jura Tempest Federation,
Suphia: Rimuru Tempest, and his companions
Suphia: should be considered an insult to Lord Carrion!
Suphia: Got it?
All: Yes, ma'am!
Grucius: Lady Suphia is right.
Grucius: There aren't many humans who can keep up with me so well.
Youm: Glad to hear that.
Rimuru: They had me worried, and so soon after they arrived here...
Shuna: I'm glad it all worked out nicely.
Rimuru: Shion, you get it now, right?
Rimuru: Shion?
Shion: Um...
Shion: What do I do with this?
Rimuru: Crap! It's about to blow!
Rimuru: C-Can't you get rid of it?!
Shion: No, I can't! My energy is at its limit!
Souei: Great Rimuru, we must take shelter.
Suphia: J-Just calm down!
Suphia: Gently... Gently aim that thing upward!
Shion: U-Upward?
Suphia: Force it if you have to! Just do it!
Shion: I-I don't think I can!
Rimuru: Honestly, Shion, you're hopeless.
Rimuru: Shion, fire it at me!
Rimuru: Don't worry.
Shion: But...
Rimuru: Trust me!
Shion: O-Okay! Here it comes!
Rimuru: Gluttony!
Rimuru: There, all done.
Albis: It can't be...
Youm: Are you kidding me?
Ranga: That much is only natural to expect from my master.
Shuna: Are you all right?
Albis: I can see why Lord Carrion approves of you.
Albis: We are grateful that our nation has established relations with yours.
Rimuru: Likewise.
Rimuru: Welcome to Tempest!
Rimuru: Thus we welcomed the delegation from Eurazania.
Rimuru: That night,
Rimuru: a little welcome party was held in the reception hall we had just completed.
Grucius: This is good!
Beast A: The flavoring is fantastic.
Beast B: It's just salty enough, too.
Beast B: I could eat this forever!
Beast B: Delicious!
Albis: What bliss.
Shuna: She's quite the drinker.
Rimuru: Who the heck gave her entire barrels?
Rimuru: And over here...
Rimuru: Hey, are you sure you should let strangers see you doing that?
Albis: It isn't particularly a secret.
Rimuru: R-Really?
Albis: But...
Albis: it is a side I only show to those I trust.
Rimuru: I see. Well, okay, then.
Rimuru: Still, though...
Rimuru: I can't believe you drank all of the apple brandy alone.
Albis: All of it?
Albis: You don't make very much?
Rimuru: Oh, sorry. Don't worry about it.
Rimuru: Of course, it's something we make specially for guests,
Rimuru: but we rely on the bounty of the forest for our fruit,
Rimuru: so we can't pick very much.
Albis: In that case, I have a good idea.
Albis: Fruit is abundant in Eurazania.
Albis: I can arrange to have some sent here.
Rimuru: What? Really?
Albis: Of course.
Shuna: Isn't that wonderful, Great Rimuru?
Rimuru: Yeah!
Rimuru: I see.
Rimuru: That's a "so give us your country's booze," isn't it?
Rimuru: In what ratio?
Suphia: We'll trust you to work out the details.
Suphia: I'm happy as long as I can drink good liquor.
Suphia: Eurazania's fruit is top-quality, so you can expect the best!
Rimuru: Hmm...
Rimuru: Leaving the mundane stuff to us, huh?
Rimuru: How much would make it an equal trade?
Rimuru: Okay. I'll let a specialist handle this.
Rimuru: Shuna!
Shuna: Yes, Great Rimuru?
Rimuru: Go get Koby for me.
Rimuru: He's a Kobold merchant.
Text: Kobold Merchant Koby
Rimuru: He's running a shop in Tempest now,
Rimuru: and he manages all of our merchants.
Koby: G-Great Rimuru, what is this about?
Rimuru: This is Koby-chan. He represents all our merchants.
Rimuru: He's also done business in Demon Lord domains,
Rimuru: so I'm putting him in charge of our trade.
Koby: Huh?!
Rimuru: These folks are from the Animal Kingdom.
Rimuru: If there's anything besides the liquor that you're interested in, negotiate away.
Koby: Wait, wait, wait! Weaker races aren't allowed in the Animal Kingdom!
Suphia: We'll make sure to get you clearance. Don't be shy.
Albis: And we will inform Lord Carrion in advance.
Rimuru: You're not all that different from the Lycanthropes.
Rimuru: You'll get on fine.
Koby: What?!
Rimuru: So it's settled. Thanks!
Koby: Um, er... All right...
Rimuru: Well, I'll leave you young folks to it, then.
Shuna: Please excuse us.
Koby: Huh?! Wha... Wait!
Koby: Great Rimuru!
Rimuru: We can rest easy with Koby-chan handling it.
Shuna: Yes, you're right.
Rimuru: Negotiations always go more smoothly over drinks, too.
Rimuru: And so the night wore on.
Rimuru: Not a bad start to our relations with foreign lands!
Rimuru: A few days later, Albis and Suphia returned to Eurazania.
Rimuru: Our nations plan to share our skills, as well.
Rimuru: These folks stayed behind in Tempest to learn some of our techniques.
Rimuru: They're all diligent and good-natured.
Beast: How do you get hot water to come out of this thing you call a "faucet"?
Beast: You don't seem to be boiling it anywhere.
Dord: It's rune magic.
Beast: Rune magic?
Beast: Where are the runes?
Dord: There's a magicrystal with a heat magic rune on it built into the handle.
Beast: I see!
Beast: So if anyone with magic turns it, the water is heated!
Beast: Dwarf artisans really know their stuff!
Dord: Aw, this isn't such a big deal.
Dord: Plus it was actually Rimuru's idea...
Text: To be precise, it was Great Sage's idea.
Youm: You're not gonna observe the artisans like the rest of your people?
Grucius: Nah, not me.
Grucius: Sir Phobio, the Black Leopard Fang, who's in confinement now,
Grucius: ordered me to be useful to Great Rimuru.
Youm: That's why you're hanging out with the town guard?
Grucius: That's right.
Gobta: Hey, Grucius!
Gobta: We're going on patrol.
Grucius: Got it.
Grucius: Later.
Youm: Well, guess I'll hop in the bath or something...
Hakurou: You will train with the sword.
Youm: Yes, sir.
Tiss: For dividing fractions, looking at it this way is a bit difficult,
Tiss: so we'll try converting them to multiplication problems.
Tiss: To convert division problems to multiplication problems,
Rimuru: They're still studying even without me here.
Tiss: you swap the numerator and denominator on the right side.
Tiss: We call this the inverse.
Tiss: When you multiply the inverse with the original number, the answer is always...
Rimuru: Then a few more days passed...
Rimuru: and Youm's g*ng set out to further spread their reputation as champions.
Rimuru: They just missed the return of our delegation led by Benimaru.
Benimaru: Eurazania's knights are as remarkable as you would expect.
Benimaru: Every last knight was painstakingly trained by Demon Lord Carrion himself.
Rimuru: I can see why they call him the Beastmaster.
Rimuru: Anything else?
Rigur: Yes. The buildings there are quite crude compared to Tempest's.
Rigur: But the royal palace is highly extravagant.
Rigur: It's very clear that the wealth is concentrated there.
Rigurd: Rigur has grown into such a fine man!
Rigur: Uh...
Rigur: But I don't mean that in a bad way.
Rigur: It's what the kingdom's citizens want.
Rimuru: I see.
Rigur: And it's not just the architecture.
Rigur: Their craftsmanship, among other things, is also inferior to ours.
Rimuru: Yeah, because we have not only Kaijin and his buddies,
Rimuru: but Kurobe and Shuna, too.
Rigur: But there was just one thing I found absolutely incredible.
Rimuru: What was it?
Rigur: Their agriculture.
Rimuru: Oh!
Rigur: Their vast fields are unlike anything we have here in Tempest,
Rigur: and they grow a brilliant array of produce in abundance.
Rimuru: Do you think we can learn their techniques?
Rigur: I think it's possible.
Rimuru: All right!
Rimuru: We'll have our next delegation focus on checking out their agriculture!
Rigurd: We have improved our food situation significantly as it is,
Rigurd: but in some areas, we are still in a stage of trial and error.
Rigurd: This may be helpful in improving those areas...
Rigurd: Rigur has grown into such a fine man!
Rimuru: Okay, I need to get ready to head for the Dwarf Kingdom,
Rimuru: so you guys can handle the rest.
Rimuru: I'm counting on you all.
All: Right!
Benimaru: Great Rimuru.
Benimaru: If you will allow it,
Benimaru: would it be all right to make Rigur the head of the delegation henceforth?
Rimuru: What's this about?
Benimaru: I have determined that Demon Lord Carrion can be trusted.
Benimaru: There is no concern that he will treat our envoys poorly.
Benimaru: That being the case, I feel I should remain here to defend our nation.
Rimuru: Hmm... And you think Rigur can be entrusted to take over.
Rimuru: That's what you're saying?
Benimaru: Yes.
Rimuru: Okay, sounds good.
Benimaru: Thank you.
Rimuru: But if you really trust him that much,
Rimuru: I guess Carrion rules with more than just strength, huh?
Benimaru: Indeed.
Benimaru: The truth is, I tried picking a fight with him,
Benimaru: and he laughed at me.
Rimuru: Huh?!
Rimuru: Y-Y-You actually...
Benimaru: I couldn't use Hell Flare, of course,
Benimaru: so I lost spectacularly.
Benimaru: I still have much to learn.
Rimuru: You're so...
Benimaru: Oh, but I did defeat Phobio.
Rimuru: I see...
Rimuru: I mean, it's amazing that you b*at Phobio, but...
Rimuru: Yeah, no! He's definitely a guy I shouldn't have allowed outside this country!
Rimuru: So all of that happened, but...
Rimuru: The next day,
Rimuru: it was my turn to set off for Dwargon.
Rimuru: Hey, Ranga! Too fast!
Ranga: Understood, Master!
Rimuru: Ranga!
Rimuru: This time, I was accompanied by six Goblin Riders, including Gobta and Gobzo...
Rimuru: Shuna and Shion...
Rimuru: and Kaijin, along with the Dwarf brothers, Garm, Dord, and Myrd.
Kaijin: It'll be real nice to take it easy in Dwargon again.
Kaijin: I sure do appreciate this.
Garm: You said it! Right, you guys?
Dord: Absolutely!
Rimuru: I'm glad to hear you guys say that, too.
Rimuru: Our nation has come so far thanks to your help, after all.
Kaijin: Hearing you say that makes me feel blessed to be a craftsman.
Garm: Yeah.
Rimuru: I'm truly glad I met all of you.
Kaijin: Aw, gee...
Rimuru: By the way, the two carriages behind us
Rimuru: are loaded with gifts for King Gazel.
Rimuru: And if you're thinking it would've been easier
Rimuru: to carry them in my stomach than load them in carriages...
Flashback,Shuna: Formality is important in matters such as these.
Rimuru: ...is what I was told.
Rimuru: That's an Ogre princess for you.
Rimuru: She's been learning a lot from Vesta lately,
Rimuru: so I can count on her when it comes to things like etiquette, too.
Rimuru: And I thought Shion would be
Rimuru: an even worse candidate to let outside the country than Benimaru, but...
Flashback,Shion: What?
Flashback,Shion: Princess Shuna is going on a vacation with you?
Flashback,Rimuru: No, it's business, not a vacation...
Flashback,Shion: That's not fair! Not fair at all!
Flashback,Shion: Why does only Princess Shuna get to have fun with you?!
Flashback,Rimuru: It's business! Business!
Flashback,Rigur: Lady Shion, please relax!
Flashback,Rigurd: Just calm down!
Rimuru: So she cried, she screamed, she threw a fit...
Flashback,Rimuru: Can I leave things to you, Rigurd?
Flashback,Rigurd: Th-This is... n-nothing...
Rimuru: I felt bad leaving her with Rigurd and the others,
Rimuru: so I agreed to take her along.
Rimuru: Of course, when she's quiet, she looks like a capable lady.
Rimuru: As long as I keep an eye on her, it shouldn't end in disaster.
Shion: Great Rimuru, look.
Shion: The road that was destroyed in the battle against Charybdis
Shion: is almost completely cleaned up.
Rimuru: Hey, you're right. They work fast.
Shion: Geld and his comrades never cease to impress.
Geld: Good. We're on schedule.
Orc: Sir Geld, we'll need to place an order for more stones.
Geld: Very well.
Geld: I'll send word to the quarry.
Orc: Thank you.
Orc: Isn't that...
Geld: This was the day of your departure for the Dwarf Kingdom?
Rimuru: Yeah.
Rimuru: With the road laid so well, it's been a smooth, easy ride.
Geld: Yes, we've been working from the direction of the Dwarf Kingdom,
Geld: so the rest of the road from this point forward is finished.
Rimuru: Oh? Sounds like it'll be an even nicer ride from here.
Rimuru: Good work!
Geld: Thank you.
Rimuru: So...
Geld: What is this?
Rimuru: Beer.
Orcs: Beer?!
Rimuru: Don't drink too much, though!
Orc: Thank you, Great Rimuru!
Geld: Yes, sir!
Rimuru: And so our journey continued smoothly...
Rimuru: and four days after our departure,
Rimuru: we arrived in the nation of Dwargon.
Kaido: Gate opening!
Guy: Look at those fine magical beasts pulling their carriages.
Guy: Are these people that important?
Guy: Those are magical beasts? I've never seen any before.
Guy: The way those carriages are made is unusual...
Kaido: Hey, Bro.
Kaido: Glad to see you're looking so well.
Kaijin: Kaido, it's you!
Kaijin: It's been so long! How've you been?
Kaijin: I've been having a great time working for Rimuru.
Kaido: I bet. I can tell from the look on your face.
Kaido: You guys been doing good, too, Garm?
Garm: Yep, thanks for asking.
Dord: Sure have.
Kaido: So... where's Rimuru, anyway?
Kaijin: Huh?
Kaido: He's a guest of the state, you know.
Kaido: I need to give him a proper welcome.
Rimuru: What's he talking about? I'm right here...
Rimuru: Oh, right. He only knows my slime form.
Kaijin: This is Rimuru.
Kaido: Huh?
Garm: This is Rimuru.
Kaido: Eh?
Dord: This is him.
Kaido: Wha?
Kaido: What?!
Rimuru: Yeah, some stuff happened...
Kaido: R-Rimuru... sir... you look well, and that's all that matters.
Kaido: Um... well, then, right this way.
Rimuru: Yeah, I can't blame him.
Rimuru: And so we arrived safely in Dwargon
Rimuru: and had our audience with King Gazel right away.
Dorf: I'm glad to see you're in good health, Rimuru.
Rimuru: Same to you, Dorf-dono.
Dorf: Please, no need for formalities with me.
Dorf: Now, our king awaits you.
Rimuru: Dorf is the captain of the Pegasus Knights,
Rimuru: who helped us in the battle against Charybdis.
Rimuru: The Pegasus Knights are a top-secret force in direct service to the king,
Rimuru: so they normally present themselves as regular civil servants, just like this.
Soldier: The ruler of the Jura Tempest Federation,
Soldier: His Majesty Rimuru, has arrived.
Dorf: Please, go on inside.
Rimuru: The king of the Armed Nation of Dwargon,
Rimuru: Gazel Dwargo.
Gazel: It's been some time, Rimuru.
Clayman: I see.
Clayman: Well done.
Clayman: This is quite the intriguing report.
Clayman: Thank you.
Clayman: I would gladly return your heart to you now...
Clayman: but if you would do just one more little job for me,
Clayman: it would be a tremendous help.
Myulan: What would you like me to do, Lord Clayman?
Clayman: Oh, it's a simple thing, really.
Clayman: Very, very simple.
Clayman: Understand,
Clayman: Myulan?
Great Sage: Next time, "Paradise, Once More."
