01x06 - (D) Shizu

[bunniefuu]

So it looks as though

the Eastern Empire

has decided to stay put.

For now.

At least there's that.

Our intelligence bureau

will continue to monitor them.

More importantly, how did it

go in the Forest of Jura?

Not only did it go terribly,

but it kinda seems

like you don't care

that we managed to make

it back in one piece.

Give me your report.

It sounds like you

care more about

that stupid report than us.

The only thing I want

is a hot bath.

I don't know what the heck

you two are complaining about.

I'm the poor sap who had

to listen you guys argue

the entire time

we were traveling.

[growls]

[gasps] So, uh...

[clears throat]

Anyway, we searched the whole

cave like you requested.

And Veldora's

definitely gone, sir.

We weren't able to find

a single thing.

It's empty?

There's nothing there.

[sighs]

Thank you for your

report on the cave.

Righty-o, we'll get

outta your hair.

[FUZE]

I'll give you three days off.

[ALL gasp]

Then I'll need you to

investigate the areas

around the forest.

[GROUP]

Huh?

Keep an eye out for monsters.

They'll be more active

with Veldora gone.

Report any changes,

no matter how small.

Be thorough.

Search every nook and cranny.

You're excused.

He is such an ass!

"You're excused," he says,

like we should be grateful

for three lousy days off

when we're so exhausted

he doesn't even know!

You all talk a big game,

but I bet you'd never

say those things

to the guild master's face.

[KAVAL, EREN shouting]

[KAVAL, EREN sigh]

Do we have to go back there?

I guess.

If Fuze gives an order,

then you gotta do it.

[EREN]

I just want a break.

[SHIZU]

Excuse me.

[EREN, GIDO]

Huh?

Huh?

You need somethin' or what?

[SHIZU] Did you just say

that you're going

to the Forest of Jura?

[KAVAL]

And what if we did?

[SHIZU] Would you allow me to

accompany you on your journey?

[KAVAL]

Hmm.

Sure thing!

Uh! Excuse you?

Last I checked, I'm the leader,

so I'll be the one

who says yea or nay.

Oh, come on.

It'll be lots more fun

with another companion along.

Eren.

That's Kaval and Gido.

[SHIZU]

Shizu.

We're happy to have you, Shizu.

Fine.

We're leaving here

in three days.

If that's good for you,

then you can join us.

[EREN giggles]

[SHIZU]

Thank you.

[RIMURU]

Ready, Ranga?

Check out my new move.

[RANGA]

I shall.

[RIMURU]

Rimuru, transform!

[RIMURU]

And now,

Black Lightning!

[RIMURU]

Whoa!

[RIMURU] I didn't expect my new

skill to be quite that powerful.

Note to self:

Be careful about using

this one in public places.

[RANGA]

Black Lightning.

You are truly amazing, master!

[sighs]

[RIMURU]

Everything's so peaceful.

[RIMURU] Yep. Looks like

things are going great.

[RIMURU]

A few weeks had passed

since Rimuru and his party

have returned with Kaijin

and the other Dwarves.

As they say, "Strike while

the iron's hot."

[laughing]

[RIMURU] The village now has

a gifted blacksmith, Kaijin.

[RIMURU] The oldest of the

three Dwarf brothers, Garm,

was now acting as

the town's armor smith.

And that's why we tan the hides,

so they're even more durable.

[RIMURU]

The middle brother, Dord,

taught everyone his

superb crafting techniques.

[RIMURU] While the youngest

and quietest brother, Myrd,

became the town's

new resident architect.

[RIMURU] With their guidance,

Rimuru and the Goblins

were well on their way

to building a village

that was guaranteed to thrive.

[RIMURU] Man, I'm still

not over the surprise

we had waiting for us

when we got back from Dwargon.

[RIMURU] Uh, Rigurd,

who are these Goblins?

They all heard

the rumors about you,

so they've journeyed here

from other nearby villages

to seek your divine protection.

[RIMURU]

Oh. Cool.

[GOBLINS] Lord Rimuru,

we're so happy you're back!

[RIMURU]

Yo, Great Sage,

exactly how many

new Goblins are there?

[GREAT SAGE]

Answer: Around .

[RIMURU]

What?! Ugh...

Maybe it would be better

if I asked them all to leave.

Uh... What'll happen

if they don't stay?

[GREAT SAGE]

With the disappearance

of Veldora the Storm Dragon,

Orcs, Lizardmen, Ogres,

and the other intelligent

monster races

are vying for dominance

in the Great Forest of Jura.

The unevolved Goblins

will likely be eliminated.

[RIMURU]

Not what I wanted to hear.

[RIMURU] All right.

You're all welcome to stay.

[GOBLINS cheering]

[RIMURU]

So, Rimuru sucked it up

and named all

of the newcomers.

Then spent another three

days in sleep mode.

[RIMURU] I was worried

about how it'd work out,

but I think everyone'll be able

to live here just fine.

Way to k*ll it, Kaijin.

'Kay. I'll show you all how

it's done, so pay attention.

[RIMURU]

Huh?

[GOBTA grunting]

Ha!

[RIMURU]

Whoa! He summoned one?

[GOBLINS gasp]

And that's all it takes,

so why don't you guys

give it a try now?

[chuckles]

[RIMURU]

Gobta is teaching the others

how to summon their

Tempest Wolf partners.

[RIMURU] I can't believe

he's good at something.

[GOBTA muttering]

[RIMURU] Back when Rimuru

almost accidentally left

Gobta behind in Dwargon...

...the lazy Goblin prayed for

help with all his might.

Until...

[gasps]

[RIMURU] ...he managed

to summon his wolf!

He then rode his furry steed

straight out of the kingdom.

Where he rejoined Rimuru's party

and made it back home

relatively safe and sound.

[RIMURU] Looks like Gobta

can achieve great things

when he puts his mind to it.

[RIMURU] In that moment,

Rimuru's opinion of Gobta

improved considerably.

No, that won't work at all.

You've gotta make

more of a "ungh" sound.

And poof! There they'll be.

[GOBLINS]

Hmm?

[RIMURU] He's not exactly

the best teacher, though.

[RIMURU] In that moment,

Rimuru's opinion of Gobta

dropped considerably.

[RIGURD]

Lord Rimuru!

[gasps]

[RIMURU]

Rigurd?

[RIMURU]

After the new arrivals,

Rigurd was promoted from

Goblin Lord to Goblin King.

He's in charge of leading

all the other village elders

who joined them.

They sort of threw

the job at him.

[RIMURU]

I can't be sure,

but it almost seems like

becoming the Goblin King

made him evolve a bit more.

[RIGURD chuckles]

[RIMURU]

What's up, my guy?

Sir, we've just

received a message

from the security team.

It says they've spotted

suspicious beings in the forest.

[RIMURU]

Monsters?

No. Humans, my lord.

[RIMURU]

Humans?!

Yes, it's possible

that they're scouts

sent here from another nation

to expand their dominion.

[RIMURU]

Hmm.

[EREN cries]

This whole mess

is your fault, Kaval!

What kind of idiot goes around

stabbing giant ants nests?

Shut up and show your leader

some respect, dammit!

No, you haven't earned

my respect!

If I die today, I swear that

I'm coming back to haunt you!

[laughing]

Well, come on, Eren,

that's not even possible,

and do you wanna know why?

Because I'm gonna

be dead with you!

[EREN screaming]

Shizu, no!

Let's go!

[ALL gasp]

[BOTH gasping]

[gasps]

Wow, she's so strong.

[gasps] Quick, behind you!

Do something!

[EREN]

Shizu!

Are you okay?

[SHIZU]

Yes.

No way. Was that magic?

It kinda looked like

Black Lightning.

[RIMURU] Man, Black Lighting

really is boss-level stuff.

I'd better shelf it after all.

[ALL]

It's a slime?

[RIMURU] Yep. You got a

problem with slimes?

Uh, no.

I just never heard one talk.

It's kind of hard to believe.

[RIMURU] Here, I think

this belongs to you.

I hope I didn't hurt you

with my Lightning Skill.

Nuh-uh. I'm all right.

[RIMURU] I met her

sooner than I expected.

[chuckles]

You saved me, thank you.

[RIMURU]

My destiny.

[RIMURU]

So, how are our guests?

[RIGURD]

Well...

[KAVAL]

What the hell?!

I already called dibs

on that meat.

--[RIMURU] Huh?

--[EREN] Back off, jerk.

[EREN] I cooked this piece

myself, so you can go hungry.

[GIDO]

Both of you shut up.

Besides if anybody's eating

that, it's gonna be me.

[RIMURU]

Huh?

It's all my fault.

They said they were starving,

so I gave them some food.

[RIMURU]

Don't feel bad, Rigurd.

Helping people in need

is a good thing,

I'm proud of you, man.

You honor me with

your praise, my lord.

In that case, I will dedicate

myself to helping others.

[RIMURU]

Attaboy.

[RIGUR]

Lord Rimuru. After you.

[RIMURU]

Actually, I feel like

I've seen these guys

somewhere before.

[GREAT SAGE]

Answer:

They are the trio you saw

in Veldora's cave.

[RIMURU]

Right, the idiots.

[RIMURU]

She ate through her mask?

Now that's what I call a skill.

My apologies.

I fear we have little

to offer you,

but we welcome you

as our honored guests.

Please allow me

to make introductions.

Here. May I present to you

the master of our village,

the Great Lord Rimuru!

[ALL]

The master?

[RIMURU]

Got a problem with that?

Uh, no, not at all.

We knew that you weren't

an ordinary slime,

but it's so shocking.

[RIMURU]

They seem a little overwhelmed.

I need to figure out how to

show them I'm actually friendly.

[RIMURU]

Nice to meet you!

My name is Rimuru the Slime!

I'm not a bad slime, slurp.

[SHIZU snickers]

Something wrong?

[RIMURU] Hold up, did she

understand that reference?

[KAVAL]

Forgive our rudeness.

It's just that we thought

we were done for back there,

and we never expected

to be rescued by a monster.

Thank you so much.

Yeah, and thanks a lot

for feeding us, too.

Everything's really delicious.

We appreciate your hospitality.

The last thing we expected

to find here

were a bunch of Goblins

building a village.

[RIMURU]

Hmm.

She sure is quiet.

[RIMURU] So, why exactly

are you guys in the forest?

The name's Kaval,

not that it's saying much,

but I'm the leader

of this party.

Back there...

My name's Eren.

And you can call me Gido.

It's a pleasure to meet you.

While she's not

a permanent party member,

this girl is tagging

along with us

since we were going

the same way.

[SHIZU]

Shizu.

[RIMURU] So the one

I'm destined to be with

is called "Shizu"?

She's gotta be from Japan,

too. Look how she sits.

[RIMURU]

And?

Well, our boss,

who is this cranky old guy,

ordered us to come here.

[RIMURU]

Kaval told me their entire plan,

because you can obviously

trust a random slime

you found in the forest.

A guild master in Blumund,

one of the kingdoms that borders

the Great Forest of Jura,

had asked them to investigate

the monster activity

in the area.

[RIMURU]

Oh, I see.

[RIMURU]

Looks like Veldora's absence

is having a greater effect

than I imagined.

Especially if people are

being sent to check out

not just the cave,

but the whole forest, too.

[RIMURU] Well, as you can

see all we're doing here

is building a Goblin village.

So, uh, you don't think

that'll be a problem

with the guild, do you?

Uh, I don't think so.

It should be fine.

And I don't think the guild

has any say in it.

But I'm not sure

about the country.

Hmm. To be honest,

I have no idea.

[RIMURU] Okay. No worries,

we'll figure it out.

You can stay the

night if you want.

Our village is your village.

[ALL]

Thank you so much.

[RIMURU]

Take care of them.

[BOTH]

Right.

[RIMURU]

Do you have a minute?

[RIMURU]

I wanted to ask you something.

Um, are you from--?

[SHIZU]

That line you said.

It was from a game, right?

[RIMURU]

Huh?

[SHIZU]

"I'm not a bad slime, slurp."

[chuckles nervously]

[SHIZU]

I've never played it,

but I heard about it

from someone else

who's from my country.

[RIMURU]

Yeah!

[RIMURU] I've been closer to

boobs way more as a slime

than I ever was as a human dude.

Talk about your perks.

[SHIZU]

Are you from Japan, as well?

[RIMURU]

Yep.

I see.

I'm glad I met you.

So tell me, how did you

come to this world?

[RIMURU]

I got stabbed to death.

Very heroically, of course.

[SHIZU]

That's terrible.

[RIMURU] And then it was

wham, bam, slime I am.

Ah, so you were reincarnated

into this world.

I'm sure that was

very difficult for you.

[RIMURU]

Was it different for you?

Yes, a bit.

I'm what you call a Summon.

[RIMURU]

Sounds familiar.

That's right,

Veldora mentioned it.

[VELDORA] It requires more than

mages performing a ritual

that lasts several days

to bring someone here.

The Summon is expected to

perform as a powerful w*apon.

They use magic to carve a curse

into the Summon's soul.

That way they can never

defy their master.

[RIMURU] Wait. Does that

mean Shizu's a w*apon?

And that she's cursed?

I am curious, but it'd probably

be rude for me to ask.

[RIMURU] So, when were you

summoned to this world?

A while ago.

There was fire.

The town was burning.

[RIMURU]

A w*r?

[SHIZU]

Bombs were falling from the sky.

[RIMURU]

The air raids.

My mother and I tried to get

to safety, but then she...

[RIMURU]

What happened to her?

[RIMURU]

Did she make it?

[SHIZU]

Mm-mmm.

[RIMURU] I know. Do you

wanna see something cool?

[SHIZU]

Oh? Like what?

[RIMURU] Great Sage, I'd like

to use Thought Communication

to show Shizu

some of my memories.

[GREAT SAGE]

Commencing.

[RIMURU]

Check this out!

[gasps]

[SHIZU]

An Elf?

[RIMURU screams]

[RIMURU]

Don't look!

It's not what you

think, I swear!

She's very pretty.

[RIMURU] Ignore that,

and look at this instead.

[gasps]

Amazing.

It reminds me

of New York City.

I saw it on a postcard once.

[RIMURU] After the w*r ended,

peace came to Japan.

The towns and economy

all flourished.

That's great.

I'm so glad.

I wish my mother

could have seen this.

[RIMURU]

It may be a long sh*t,

but I wanna make this a world

where everyone can

live in peace, too.

I see.

I hope it really happens.

[RIMURU]

It will, I'm sure of it.

[SHIZU chuckles]

[BOTH gasp]

[RIMURU]

Uh, Shizu?

[SHIZU sighs]

[SHIZU]

I'm sorry.

[RIMURU]

Are you okay?

I'm fine. Thank you.

[KAIJIN]

Hey, Rimuru.

Can I get your expert

opinion on something?

We need to talk to you about

where to build a new house.

[RIMURU]

Sure. Bye.

[SHIZU]

Bye.

[KAIJIN]

Were you two busy?

[RIMURU]

Shut up!

[KAIJIN]

I think you're blushing.

[RIMURU]

I am not.

[KAIJIN]

Lookin' kinda red.

[PEOPLE screaming]

[screams]

[SHIZU]

Mommy!

Please, Mommy!

[gasps]

Great, another failure.

[SHIZU]

Please.

Help me.

I thought she would be useless,

but perhaps she has

an affinity for fire.

[gasps]

[LEON] Ifrit, I'm offering

her body to you.

Use it well.

[SHIZU gasps]

[snarls]

[GREAT SAGE] Next time,

"Conqueror of Flames."
