[GOBLINS gasping]
[RIMURU]
Hmm...
[GOBLINS gasp]
[GOBLINS gasp]
Do you like it?
Or is it not to your tastes?
It's good!
[laughs]
[GOBLINS cheering]
[RIGURD chuckles]
[RIMURU sighs]
This is awesome!
[RIMURU] My usual slime form
doesn't have any taste buds.
So this is the first time
I've tasted anything
since I came to this world.
[chuckles]
[RIMURU]
Man, it's great to be alive!
[GOBLINS cheering]
[GOBLINS chattering]
Wait, you mean to tell me
that Orcs att*cked Ogres?
That's crazy.
But it's the truth.
I can't believe it. Can you?
It is surprising.
Wait, so does that mean
it's a big deal?
Hey, Gobta.
Of course it is.
Compared to Orcs, Ogres are
a much stronger people.
That such a weak race would go
and att*ck them is unthinkable.
Regardless, they did att*ck.
[BENIMARU]
The Orc Army struck our village
in the dead of night.
They had weapons...
and wore armor.
Their numbers filled the forest
and overwhelmed us.
[BENIMARU]
Those detestable pigs
destroyed our homes
and my people.
Orcs wearing armor?
That's right.
Similar to what humans wear.
It was full plate mail.
Hmm.
That can only mean...
...that the Orcs
aren't working alone.
Someone's helping them.
It would make sense,
as they wouldn't be able
to get valuable armor
by themselves.
[BENIMARU] You would be correct.
Someone was with them.
[inaudible]
[KAIJIN]
A masked majin?
[grunts]
It was extremely powerful.
I'm certain.
[RIGURD] When you saw
Lord Rimuru in the forest,
you believed it was him,
and that's why you att*cked.
Yes.
Okay, so what's all
that supposed to mean?
It's only a guess,
but it could mean
that the Orcs have sided
with a Demon Lord.
It's hard to know for sure.
Uh, yeah, I knew that.
[KAIJIN]
Hmm.
A Demon Lord.
Perhaps, but why side with Orcs?
I don't know.
But I can tell you this much,
of my brethren,
only six of us managed to
escape them with our lives.
[RIMURU] I see. No wonder
you were so upset.
Are you finished feasting,
Lord Rimuru?
I'm just takin' a break.
Man, your sister's
somethin' else.
[OGRE A gasps]
[OGRE A]
Hmm.
[RIMURU] She knows so much about
medicinal and cooking herbs
that the Goblinas took
to her immediately.
[OGRE A]
She was a very sheltered child.
I'm sure it makes her happy
to be relied upon.
So, what are you guys
gonna do now?
Wait, what?
As in, what's your next move?
Are you gonna
rebuild your village?
Or maybe relocate
somewhere else?
Your comrades are depending on
your leadership, aren't they?
[OGRE A]
That's easy.
Once we regroup,
we'll go back for revenge.
Do you know where they are?
[OGRE A grunts]
[RIMURU]
AKA, he has no idea.
Mind if I make a suggestion?
How about you guys join me
and become my subordinates?
Join you?
[RIMURU]
Yeah. I can't give you much...
...but I do have food,
shelter, and clothing.
You need a home base, right?
We do, but that might get
your village involved
in our path for revenge.
Well, I'm not just offering
this as a favor to you guys.
You said that there were
thousands of armed Orcs
who att*cked your village.
And that there might be a
Demon Lord pulling the strings.
There's also the possibility
that it's part of
a devilish plot
to take over the Great
Forest of Jura.
[RIMURU]
Hmm.
Which would mean... our little
village is also in danger.
You guys are strong.
Adding numbers to our ranks
will only benefit us in the end.
And then, if you got into
a fight or something,
I'd help you all out.
I'll never abandon a friend.
I see.
Please let me
give it some thought.
Sure.
Take all the time you need.
On that note,
it's time for round two of
the all-you-can-eat meat.
[chattering]
[OGRE D]
It's not a bad offer.
Still though,
it's your choice to make.
We'll do whatever you
and the princess choose.
[OGRE A]
If only I were stronger.
[RIMURU]
Have you decided?
Yes, the Ogres
are a warring clan.
As such, we aren't opposed
to fighting under others.
If our master is strong,
we're more than pleased
to serve them.
[RIMURU]
Mhm.
Although we'll only serve you
until we defeat the Orcs.
[RIMURU] Once we win,
you can do whatever you want.
Whether that's staying
to help us build a nation,
or going on your own way.
[OGRE A] In that case,
I accept your offer.
Myself and the other Ogres
shall serve under you.
[RIMURU]
Good.
[RIMURU] I didn't really think
about what he must be feeling.
I'm sure all he wants
is to avenge his people,
even if it means his own death.
This is a choice he's made,
not just as a leader,
but also as someone who's had
to accept his own weakness.
[RIMURU]
Lift your head.
Thank you for accepting.
Call in the others.
Right.
[RIMURU]
All I can do is make sure
he doesn't come to
regret that choice.
I'll give you names to mark
you as my subordinates.
[ALL gasp]
To all of us, my lord?
Why wouldn't I?
It makes things easier.
Are you sure?
Please, don't do this.
Naming someone uses a lot
of power and is very risky.
And we're already strong.
It'll be fine, you don't have
to worry about me.
But...
[RIMURU] The only risk is me
using too many magicules
and falling asleep.
Besides, there's only six of
them, how bad could it be?
Are you tryin' to tell me
that you'd rather pass
on the name thing?
Well, not exactly.
We accept.
[OGRE C]
Big Brother.
It would be our honor.
[OGRE B] We will do whatever
the young master wishes.
All right, then.
Your name is...
[groans]
[thuds]
[OGRE C] Shion. Come on,
it's time to switch places.
[SHION]
Don't worry, princess.
I'm more than happy
to look after Lord Rimuru.
Why don't you go get some rest?
[OGRE C]
I'm not even tired.
[RIMURU]
Huh?
[gasps]
[BOTH] Lord Rimuru.
You're finally awake.
[RIMURU]
Uh, who are you again?
[RIMURU]
Man. I'm trying to remember,
but my memory's all fuzzy.
I was getting ready to
name the Ogres when...
Wait.
[OGRE A] It's good to have you
back among us, Lord Rimuru.
[RIMURU] Are you the young
master of the Ogres?
Correct. Though now I have
evolved into a Kijin.
Thanks to my new name:
Benimaru.
[RIMURU]
Oh. Now I remember.
I went into sleep mode
the moment I named them.
Hold on. "Kijin"?
What happened to the Ogre part?
[GREAT SAGE] "Kijin" refers
to a race of beings
uncommonly born of Ogres.
[RIMURU]
Cool.
His body looks
smaller and more human.
But even though
he looks less imposing,
the amount of magicules
he possesses has exploded.
Whoa, this is like the Rigurd
incident all over again.
[RIMURU] I had no idea that an
Ogre could evolve into a Kijin.
[OGRE C]
Nice to meet you. I'm Shuna.
[SHUNA] I'm so happy
that you're finally awake.
[RIMURU]
Shuna.
[RIMURU]
Right, the Ogre princess.
She was already cute, but now
she's just plain beautiful.
[SHION]
I'm Shion.
I adore the name you've
bestowed upon me.
Thank you so much, my lord.
[RIMURU]
This busty babe is Shion?
She looks a little less wild
and a little more refined.
[RIMURU] And behind
the young leader, Benimaru,
is the old guy who managed
to cut off my arm.
[laughs] Is that how
you remember me?
I must admit I was surprised
when you instantly
grew a new one.
[RIMURU] He seems to be
a lot younger now.
Is that a result
of his evolution to a Kijin?
[RIMURU]
Uh... And your name was?
You have given me
the name of "Souei."
I'm grateful, and happy that
you've recovered, my lord.
[RIMURU]
Uh, thanks.
[GREAT SAGE] Giving a name
to a superior monster
consumes an equally
large amount of magicules.
[RIMURU] In other words,
naming just the six of them
completely drained
my magicule bank?
These are the kinds of things
I need to know sooner.
[RIMURU gasps]
[RIMURU]
Where's the other guy?
Oh. He's been spending
quite a bit of time
at Kaijin's workshop.
[OGRE E] Is it true that
Lord Rimuru woke up?
Ah. Here he comes now.
[RIMURU]
He used to look like this.
I wonder how he's changed.
[OGRE E]
Lord Rimuru.
[RIMURU]
Huh?
I'm so glad that
you've recovered.
[RIMURU gasps]
It's me, sir.
I'm Kurobe, remember?
[RIMURU]
He looks like a normal dude!
There's a hot guy, a cute girl,
a babe, the dignified elder,
hot guy number two.
I'm actually glad the last one
is so boringly normal.
[RIMURU] Well, I hope
we'll be good friends.
Heh. Yeah.
[rumbling]
[RIMURU]
Meanwhile, the changes occurring
in the Great Forest of Jura
continued their
invasive progress.
[RIMURU] There's a place
out in the middle
of the Great Forest of Jura
called Lake Siss.
[RIMURU] The lake is surrounded
by vast marshlands.
The Lizardmen control
this territory.
[LIZARDMAN]
Sir. Reporting.
There's an Orc Army,
just south of Lake Siss.
We think they may be coming
to inv*de our territory.
An Orc Army?
We must prepare for battle.
We'll b*at those
disgusting pigs easily.
How many Orcs are there?
About that,
when we counted the Orcs,
there were a lot.
Two hundred thousand or so.
That's impossible. Their army
is times our size?
We verified the number
using Magic Sense and
Sense Heat Source.
I swear on my life that
this information is true.
I trust you.
You are excused for now.
[BOTH]
Sir.
[CHIEFTAIN]
Two hundred thousand?
How do they feed such
a ridiculously large army?
Orcs are rather ravenous
creatures to start with.
And they're supposed
to be uncoordinated,
so how did they form
an entire army?
Even if someone
assembled the beasts,
actually controlling them would
be another matter altogether.
Know what I heard?
There's a rumor that
they recently destroyed
an Ogre village.
[LIZARDMAN A, LIZARDMAN B]
Say what now?
[CHIEFTAIN]
An Orc Lord.
[LIZARDMEN gasp]
If there was anyone
capable of commanding an army
of two hundred thousand
Orcs, as he said...
...it would have to be
the Unique monster.
I've only heard legends,
but it's known as an Orc Lord.
Wait, a real Orc Lord?
That's impossible!
No, if anything
it makes perfect sense.
That's the only way
anyone could command
such a formidable army of Orcs
without losing control of them.
But what could the Orc
Lord possibly want?
As if any of that
actually matters.
The real question is,
can we defeat their army?
[CHIEFTAIN]
If what we are facing
is in fact a true Orc Lord,
it will be difficult
for us to win.
[ALL gasp]
[CHIEFTAIN] Because the Orc
Lord is a true monster,
capable of devouring the fear
and anxiety of its own allies.
However, we can't
be sure just yet.
Still, we must prepare
to the best of our abilities.
And what do you mean by that?
We'll need to try and
arrange some back up.
Where's my son?
Has anyone seen him lately?
[SON]
I'm right here, Father.
[SON] Though I must
say it's a bit hurtful
that you address me
in such a boorish manner.
You may recall
that I have a name.
It's Gabiru, and it was given
to me by Lord Gelmud himself.
What I call my son
should make no difference.
[CHIEFTAIN'S DAUGHTER]
Hmph.
[growls]
In any case, I have
an important task for you.
And what would that be?
[ALL yelling]
Too slow. Move faster.
[HAKUROU]
Tch.
Come on. Aren't you
going to strike me back?
[RIMURU]
Gobta made the mistake of saying
he wanted to learn
swordsmanship, so here we are.
Hakurou is definitely
a tough teacher.
[RANGA panting]
[RIMURU]
Orc Lord? What's that?
Well, to put it rather simply,
it's a monster.
[RIMURU]
Thanks for that in-depth answer.
They're incredibly rare beasts.
Born to the Orcs only
every few centuries.
It is a Unique monster.
[RIMURU]
Unique, huh?
[BENIMARU] It's said they're
capable of devouring
their comrades'
fear and anxiety,
which would make them an
unnaturally effective leader.
[RIMURU]
Yikes.
When they att*cked our village,
they seemed unfazed by
the deaths of their own people.
Hence my suspicion.
[RIMURU]
I see.
[BENIMARU] Of course,
all things considered,
it's only a possibility.
[GOBLINS screaming]
[RIMURU]
It's so weird, though.
Why would they wanna att*ck
your village in the first place?
Good question.
I'm not sure if there's
a connection,
but shortly before the att*ck,
a majin visited our village.
[GELMUD]
I shall give you a name.
That's what he told me,
but he seemed untrustworthy.
Naturally I refused,
and he cursed me
as he left our village.
[RIMURU]
A majin, huh?
So you think that dude
is mad at you
for refusing his name gift?
I didn't have a choice.
I'd never want a gift from
such an unsuitable master.
I am rather particular.
So I wouldn't accept a name
from just anyone.
[RIMURU gasping]
[BENIMARU]
What was the majin's name?
Let's see. Geli. Gele.
Maybe Gela? Or Gelo?
[gasp]
It's Gelmud.
Right. That's it.
[RIMURU]
Gelmud?
Weird, for some reason
that name is ringing a bell.
[gasps]
[RIMURU]
Hey, Rigur.
I was wondering, who was it
that named your brother?
Sir. I'm told that
he received his name
from a passing demon
called Lord Gelmud.
He saw promise in him.
[RIMURU]
Gel-what?
Oh, Lord Gelmud. He's from
the Demon Lord's army.
[RIMURU]
I bet it's the same guy.
Man, he passes out names
like candy. But why?
Is this a good time?
I have news.
[RIMURU]
Sure.
I saw a group of Lizardmen
not far from here.
[RIMURU]
Lizardmen? Not Orcs?
Correct. Typically, they make
their home in the marshlands.
It seemed unnatural for
them to stray so far away.
And so, I thought
you should know.
[RIMURU sighs]
[SOUEI] It appears they were
attempting negotiations
with a nearby Goblin village.
Which means, it's likely
they'll come here next.
[RIMURU]
I see. Lizardmen, huh?
[GOBLINS groaning]
Honestly, my father
can be so paranoid.
Go visit the nearby
Goblin villages
and enlist their aid.
[GABIRU]
Whatever!
Since when did we,
the esteemed Lizardman race,
begin to fear a bunch of
fat, disgusting Orcs?
You know, once upon a time,
Father used to be such
a proud and noble leader.
That's true, maybe you should
be the chieftain, Sir Gabiru.
[GABIRU gasps]
[GABIRU]
Oh, no, if anything,
my comment was
a bit disrespectful.
I still fall quite a bit short
when it comes to my father.
You think so?
But as you are now,
I bet you're just as mighty
as the chieftain
during his glory days.
True.
No. I mean, not really.
Sir, you have a name.
He doesn't.
Yes, and no one
can match your skill
when it comes to the spear.
If you don't take your
stand now, then when will you?
[gasps]
[GABIRU]
Uh... Uh...
Wait, does that mean...?
Is it possible that
I'm actually...
...pretty incredible?!
[clears throat] Well, then.
Perhaps you're right.
My father's grown old.
And it may take a bit of force,
but I'm determined to show him
that I have the strength worthy
of a true Lizardman chieftain.
[LIZARDMEN]
That's the spirit, sir!
[GABIRU]
Then he can retire
knowing that our clan
is in capable hands.
So?
[chuckles]
Yes.
Once I drive away
this pesky Orc Army,
I shall take my rightful place
as the next Lizardman chieftain.
Yay, that's our
Sir Gabiru. Whoo!
You're the best!
Glad I thought of it.
[chuckles]
-LIZARDMEN]
Gabiru! Gabiru!
Let's go!
[LIZARDMEN]
Gabiru...
All right then, comrades,
follow me to a brighter future!
[LIZARDMEN cheering]
[LIZARDMEN]
Gabiru! Gabiru! Gabiru!
[GREAT SAGE]
Next time, "Gabiru is Here."
