02x01 - (D) Rimuru's Busy Life
Posted: 04/27/23 10:52
[RIMURU]
Alice Rondo.
[ALICE]
Here!
[RIMURU]
Chloe Aubert.
[CHLOE]
Here.
[RIMURU]
Good, everyone's present.
Now, as you may recall,
I'll be leaving Freedom Academy
at the end of the current term.
We know.
[ALICE groans]
[RIMURU]
No need to look so glum, chums.
I promise to
come back and visit.
Don't waste your time.
Who cares?
It's not like we're gonna
miss you or anything.
What's with the tough act?
Is it painful to be
honest with yourself?
Do you promise?
You'll really come
visit us again?
[RIMURU]
Yeah! You bet.
But we can hold off on the
goodbyes since we've still got
a month left.
More importantly, you guys
have finals coming up soon,
so I expect you to start hitting
those books, got it?
Really? Finals are the worst.
[knocking]
[TISS]
Professor Rimuru? It's me.
[RIMURU] Oh, Professor Tiss
is here to teach her class.
Come on in!
You kids better not make any
trouble for Professor Tiss,
--y'hear me?
--No worries.
We'll be good for her.
Yeah, no prob, we really
got to know each other
on our journey to Guratol.
Thanks to that trip,
we're all pretty tight now.
That's true.
They're wonderful kids.
You think so, huh? Uh...
[KIDS chuckling]
[RIMURU]
Eh... Well, in that case,
I'll leave them in your
capable hands.
Okay.
So what are you
gonna go do, teach?
Probably take a nap
or something.
Shows what you know.
As it turns out, I actually
happen to be pretty busy, Alice.
See you later!
I've got this. Have a good one!
Heh.
--[CHLOE] Have fun!
--[TISS] All right.
--[RYOTA] See you tomorrow.
--Let's talk about finals.
[ALICE]
Good riddance!
[RIMURU] Seems Professor Tiss
is getting along well
with the kids.
[RANGA]
Yes.
[RIMURU] She can take over
for me after I leave.
That's good.
Now then.
[RIMURU]
I wasn't lying about being busy.
Not only do I have the kids of
Freedom Academy to look after,
but I've also got my "hands"
full with stuff to do
for Tempest, our
nation of monsters.
Fortunately, I got a new skill
called "Spatial Movement"
by studying one of
the air spirits,
which will make my slife
a whole lot easier.
Check it out, Ranga,
looks like another peaceful day
in the country of Tempest.
[RIMURU]
I'm Rimuru Tempest.
I also happen to be a slime.
[RIMURU]
Back when I was a human,
I got stabbed by a total rando
and kicked it right there
on the sidewalk.
But then I got reincarnated
into this world as a slime.
I became friends with
the Storm Dragon, Veldora.
[RIMURU] I founded
a new nation for monsters.
[RIMURU] And I fought
to protect everyone in it.
[RIMURU]
Shizu's last wish...
[RIMURU]
...was to save those kids.
With a little help
from some spirits...
[RIMURU] ...we were
able to save them all.
[RIMURU] My time as a teacher
is almost over.
There sure have been
a lot of ups and downs
on this crazy journey of mine.
Things haven't
always been easy, but...
It's all worth it.
Because now we can
finally enjoy a little peace.
[RIMURU] So, a while back,
I got into a bit of a mess
with Demon Lord Carrion.
Thankfully, we agreed to sign
a non-aggression pact.
Then I accepted
Carrion's proposal.
He suggested that the
Jura Tempest Federation
and the Animal Kingdom
of Eurazania should each
send out delegations
to the other country.
[RIMURU] I appointed Benimaru
to lead our delegation,
with Rigur as his assistant.
[RIGURD sobs]
He looks so grown up!
[RIMURU] The delegation
is scheduled to leave today,
and it's a super
momentous occasion.
Which is why I had to pop back
to Tempest to see everyone off.
[RIMURU sighs]
Yep. Not bad.
[RIMURU groans]
Hoo boy.
This shape's
a little tougher to hold.
[SHION] Lord Rimuru,
thank you for waiting!
Waugh!
[SHUNA] We've selected
a variety of ceremonial outfits
for today's big meeting.
[RIMURU]
Oh, thanks a lot!
I guess I'll go ahead
and try them on.
[RIMURU] This might
actually be a bit much.
Well, perhaps you'd
prefer this one instead.
[RIMURU] It, uh, still seems
a little over the top.
I recommend this one,
Lord Rimuru!
[RIMURU grunts]
[SHION]
You look fantastic!
[SHUNA]
It suits you wonderfully!
[RIMURU sighs] Listen,
I appreciate the effort.
[RIMURU] But I think we
need something that reflects
the occasion a bit
more appropriately.
Are the outfits we selected
inappropriate?
[RIMURU]
This delegation is important to
the future of Tempest.
I want to
send them off properly.
I get it!
Yes, say no more. I have the
perfect outfit for you!
Hey. It's starting!
[CROWD cheering]
You look amazing, sir!
Don't you think, Gobzo?
[GOBZO]
Mm.
Wow. He's so cool!
Yeah, just like you, Sir Gabiru!
--It's true!
--You're both great.
[RANGA] Those clothes
suit you nicely, Master!
[SHION]
Enough with the compliments!
[gasping, shushing]
Well, then.
I wish you all the best
on your diplomatic mission.
[wind whooshing]
Is that it, my lord?
[RIMURU]
Was that not enough?!
Ahem.
That was just my opener.
[RIMURU] While Tempest has
grown vastly more prosperous
than it was before,
it's still inexperienced
as a nation.
If we can build a favorable
relationship with Eurazania,
we can find ways to utilize
the things that make
their nation great, which
will help our own country
progress even further.
However, their ruler,
Demon Lord Carrion,
also known as the Beastmaster,
is a hardcore military dude.
He might even be like,
"Power is everything, bruh!"
If he tries to start something,
then you come back here.
Our goal is not to fight.
It's to find out if our
nations can get along,
or see if it would be better
to sever relations with them.
This is for the good of
Tempest, but you don't need
to force yourself to endure
any great hardships.
I'm counting on you!
[DELEGATES]
Right!
[cheering]
It was such an eloquent speech!
His sagacious words
have reduced me to tears!
[LIZARDMAN G]
Uh...
[RIGURD whimpering]
[RIMURU] Honestly,
I feel like I should be
the one going out there.
No. Until we confirm it's safe,
I believe it's better that
you stay away from
the other Demon Lords.
Leave it to me.
I shall discern if Lord Carrion
can be trusted,
then report back here.
[RIMURU]
Thanks. Still though.
Try not to go and pick
any fights, y'hear me?
There's no need to worry.
[RIMURU] So mature! Benimaru
really is a reliable guy.
And good luck
to you, too, Rigur.
Thanks. I'll learn
as much as I can, sir.
Right, we're leaving.
[TOWNSFOLK cheering]
Make us proud, everybody!
Be careful on your journey!
[LIZARDMEN]
Good luck in Eurazania!
Farewell, Brother!
Please come back safely!
[GABIRU]
We'll miss you guys!
This feels like a really
good step for Tempest.
Yeah.
Here's hoping
we can establish formal
diplomatic relations
and help both of our nations
grow even stronger.
Thus, our first group
of delegates set off
on their journey.
In town, we had our own
things to get ready for
in order to welcome
the delegates that would be
arriving from Eurazania.
[RIMURU]
Nice work!
Looks like the guest house
will be ready in time.
How's the training
with the chefs?
It's great. Princess Shuna
has been working with them.
They're all quick learners and
everything is coming along well.
It's very tasty, but I think it
could use just a bit more salt.
[SHION] The reception hall
wait staff are ready to go.
Thanks to some additional
guidance from Vesta.
[RIMURU] I guess proper
etiquette is kind of his forte.
It's nice to have
an actual noble around.
[SHION]
Let's see... What else?
The date for your visit to
the Armed Nation of Dwargon
has been set.
[RIMURU]
Right...
I need to meet King Gazel in
person to officially thank him
for establishing diplomatic
relations with Tempest.
He's probably not too happy
with Milim's involvement
in the Charybdis incident,
so I guess I should
explain that, too.
Huh?
[RIMURU]
Treyni!
Lord Rimuru. Hello.
If you're here,
is something the matter?
No, I simply wanted to inform
you that the delegation from
the Animal Kingdom of Eurazania
has entered the domain.
That's why I've come.
[RIMURU]
Ah, they're close?
Well, you could say that.
They should be here within
a couple of days at the latest.
[RIMURU]
Sweet, thanks for the heads up!
[TREYNI] Of course,
it was the least I could do.
Also, I feel I should warn you
that the other party will arrive
before the delegates do.
[RIMURU]
Other party?
[TREYNI]
Yes. The Champions.
[GIRL humming]
It's getting dark.
Let's head back.
'Kay!
[leaves rustling]
[MUSHROOM A]
Mush, mush, mush.
Mush!
[GIRL]
How cute!
[MUSHROOM A snarls]
[shrieks]
[YOUM]
Don't move!
[YOUM grunts]
[RIMURU]
It was Youm and his party.
See, they used to be a g*ng of
ruffians, but then I had them
become the champions
who defeated the Orc Lord
in our place.
[gasps]
Oh, wow.
[RIMURU] If it got out that a
bunch of monsters defeated
the Orc Lord, it would just
make humans wary of us.
Are the two of you all right?
Yes, I think so,
thank you for asking.
Uh, sir? Thanks for your help.
You should be more careful--
these woods can
be quite dangerous.
Um. I like your sword!
[YOUM] Thanks, kid. Y'know, I
actually had it made near here,
in the nation of monsters
known as Tempest.
[RIMURU] He and his party are
traveling around and spreading
the good name of Tempest.
That way everyone knows
we're friendly monsters.
[inaudible]
[RIMURU]
No doubt about it.
[GOBTA panting]
[yelling]
[grunting]
[RIMURU] With everything
goin' on, I was one busy slime.
[inaudible]
[RIMURU] And I would be
right up until we welcomed
the delegates from Eurazania.
Oh, wow, this
tastes pretty good.
Yeah, you can say that again.
What'd you say this
stuff was called?
Ah...
[RIMURU]
Oh, that? It's called "brandy."
[YOUM]
"Brandy"? I like it.
[RIMURU]
I made it as a special treat
since we have guests visiting.
That's interesting. What kind?
[RIMURU] Well. The Demon Lord
Carrion's delegation
is arriving tomorrow.
[RIMURU]
How'd you do that in sync?!
[coughs] How'd you
end up playing host
to Demon Lord Carrion's people?!
[RIMURU]
It's kind of a long story...
[SHUNA sighs]
This feels so nice.
[SHION sighs]
Whoa, are you serious?
[RIMURU] Yep. Just tryin'
to be diplomatic.
It makes sense.
But still, a Demon Lord?
I imagine whoever
he sends will be real scary.
[RIMURU]
Maybe, who knows?
I'm hoping things
will go smoothly.
[YOUM] Wait, didn't you send
Benimaru with your guys
in case things got hairy?
I bet you anything their people
are doing the same thing.
[RIMURU] That wouldn't
surprise me in the least.
I don't want to ruin
a good opportunity
with v*olence, though.
Well, that's
a fair enough point.
[RIMURU] Make sure
you guys don't pick any fights
with them, either.
You don't have to talk
to us like we're idiots.
Believe it or not, we're
actually pretty smart
most of the time!
Aren't we?
You said it, boss.
[hiccups]
[RIMURU] Not related.
When you get the chance,
Hakurou was hoping to see you.
[YOUM grunts]
The master?
[RIMURU] He wants to make sure
you haven't gotten rusty.
Suddenly, I'm feeling
really sober.
[whining]
[RIMURU]
And so, the big day arrived.
[RIMURU]
Here they come.
[gasping]
[RIMURU]
Horse-drawn carriages?
No wait, those are
real friggin' tigers!
Talk about an entrance.
Oh, please, it's no big deal.
Compared to your power,
some tiger-drawn w*r chariot
hardly even works as a bluff.
[RIMURU]
I beg to differ!
Tigers seem like
a big deal to me!
Not to mention those fancy
decorations would serve
no purpose in an actual battle.
[RIMURU]
Back up the truck, Shion!
We're not talking
about battles, remember?
[ALBIS]
It is a pleasure to meet you.
You must be the leader of
the Jura Tempest Federation.
Rimuru, I presume?
I am known as Albis,
the Golden Serpent.
I'm also one of Demon Lord
Carrion's Three Beastketeers.
[RIMURU]
Whoa...
The dude sent his highest
ranking subordinates?
[SUPHIA]
This a joke?
[RIMURU gasps]
[SUPHIA] I only came on this
dumb trip 'cause I wanted to see
who the monster
leader of Tempest was.
And it turns out it's
a pathetic ball of slime?
Are you guys just screwin'
with us or somethin'?
[RIMURU] Wow... Rest in peace,
carriage door.
[ALBIS]
That's enough, Suphia.
If you don't watch your mouth,
you're going to embarrass
Lord Carrion with
your reckless opinions.
Who cares what you think?
You can't order me around.
Plus, hanging with
Dwarves is one thing.
But humans, too?
Anyone who pals around with
puny, insolent, cowardly humans
is a disgrace
to monsters everywhere!
[growling]
[RIMURU growls]
That's quite the hot take.
Youm here happens
to be my friend.
We're also both students
of the same master.
You act like I care.
[RIMURU]
Hey, Youm.
Doesn't it bug you that
she just wrote you guys off?
[YOUM]
Huh?
[RIMURU] Why don't you
show her what you can do?
I'll allow it this one time.
Hold on a second!
Last night, you were all
about peace and stuff!
[RIMURU] It's true that I wasn't
looking to start a fight,
but if they're itching for one,
then it's no slime off my back.
Oh? You wanna play, human?
I dunno.
[KAJIR] Go get her, boss!
Show her what you can do!
You're not a loser!
We believe in you!
Demonstrate your power!
[YOUM sighs]
All right, fine.
Master. Just clean up
the mess I leave behind.
Hah! So you're making
the slime clean up after you?
Guess that makes sense.
[RIMURU]
Sure, whatever you say... pal?
Wait? What's happening?
I just can't take it anymore.
All this girl has done
is hurl insults at you.
Until now, I have
exercised great patience.
But it would seem that's
no longer necessary.
[YOUM]
Hmm?
Uh. Hey!
[SHION]
You'll be fighting me instead.
I see. Think you can
take me hand-to-hand?
Then bring it on.
[SHION]
Hmm.
[SUPHIA grunting]
[BOTH]
Heh!
[SHION grunts]
[SUPHIA grunting]
[grunting, groaning]
[SUPHIA]
Heh.
[SHION]
Hah!
[RIMURU] Uh, should
I be worried about Shion?
She's fighting on her opponent's
terms, without her giant sword.
There's no need for concern,
Lord Rimuru.
Honestly, Shion is almost
as strong as my big brother.
[RIMURU]
Oh. Word.
My, sometimes there's
just no containing Suphia.
--Grucius.
--[GRUCIUS] Huh?
[ALBIS] Looks like you'll have
to take care of the human.
What?
So just because
I'm the runt of the brigade,
I have to do the fighting?
This is turning out
to be a pain.
[GRUCIUS grunts]
[sighs]
All right, human.
Let's do this.
Yeah. Sure.
Come at me.
Ahh...!
[GRUCIUS grunts]
[BOTH chuckle]
[RIMURU]
Man, Youm's pretty legit.
Grucius is a majin, and he's
managing to hold his own.
[SHUNA] Yes. He's
fighting magnificently.
[RIMURU] It looks like Hakurou's
training is really paying off!
Boss man's doin'
great out there!
Guess that's a champion for ya!
[SUPHIA grunts]
[laughs] Wow, I wasn't expecting
you to be this much fun!
Huh. Don't underestimate me.
A Kijin's power can
breach the heavens.
and shatter the ground.
Allow me to demonstrate!
[laughs]
Sounds good, bring it on!
You're actually
pretty entertaining!
[BOTH grunting]
[RIMURU] That's how,
immediately after the delegation
from Eurazania arrived,
a ferocious battle broke out.
[RIMURU] Of course, I was
the one who instigated it.
[GREAT SAGE] Next time,
"Trade with the Animal Kingdom."
Alice Rondo.
[ALICE]
Here!
[RIMURU]
Chloe Aubert.
[CHLOE]
Here.
[RIMURU]
Good, everyone's present.
Now, as you may recall,
I'll be leaving Freedom Academy
at the end of the current term.
We know.
[ALICE groans]
[RIMURU]
No need to look so glum, chums.
I promise to
come back and visit.
Don't waste your time.
Who cares?
It's not like we're gonna
miss you or anything.
What's with the tough act?
Is it painful to be
honest with yourself?
Do you promise?
You'll really come
visit us again?
[RIMURU]
Yeah! You bet.
But we can hold off on the
goodbyes since we've still got
a month left.
More importantly, you guys
have finals coming up soon,
so I expect you to start hitting
those books, got it?
Really? Finals are the worst.

[ALICE]
Good riddance!
[RIMURU] Seems Professor Tiss
is getting along well
with the kids.
[RANGA]
Yes.
[RIMURU] She can take over
for me after I leave.
That's good.

is something the matter?
No, I simply wanted to inform
you that the delegation from
the Animal Kingdom of Eurazania
has entered the domain.
That's why I've come.
[RIMURU]
Ah, they're close?
Well, you could say that.
They should be here within
a couple of days at the latest.
[RIMURU]
Sweet, thanks for the heads up!
[TREYNI] Of course,
it was the least I could do.
Also, I feel I should warn you
that the other party will arrive
before the delegates do.
[RIMURU]
Other party?
[TREYNI]
Yes. The Champions.
[GIRL humming]
It's getting dark.
Let's head back.
'Kay!
[leaves rustling]
[MUSHROOM A]
Mush, mush, mush.
Mush!
[GIRL]
How cute!
[MUSHROOM A snarls]
[shrieks]
[YOUM]
Don't move!
[YOUM grunts]
[RIMURU]
It was Youm and his party.
See, they used to be a g*ng of
ruffians, but then I had them
become the champions
who defeated the Orc Lord
in our place.
[gasps]
Oh, wow.
[RIMURU] If it got out that a
bunch of monsters defeated
the Orc Lord, it would just
make humans wary of us.
Are the two of you all right?
Yes, I think so,
thank you for asking.
Uh, sir? Thanks for your help.
You should be more careful--
these woods can
be quite dangerous.
Um. I like your sword!
[YOUM] Thanks, kid. Y'know, I
actually had it made near here,
in the nation of monsters
known as Tempest.
[RIMURU] He and his party are
traveling around and spreading
the good name of Tempest.
That way everyone knows
we're friendly monsters.
[inaudible]
[RIMURU]
No doubt about it.
[GOBTA panting]
[yelling]
[grunting]
[RIMURU] With everything
goin' on, I was one busy slime.
[inaudible]
[RIMURU] And I would be
right up until we welcomed
the delegates from Eurazania.
Oh, wow, this
tastes pretty good.
Yeah, you can say that again.
What'd you say this
stuff was called?
Ah...
[RIMURU]
Oh, that? It's called "brandy."
[YOUM]
"Brandy"? I like it.
[RIMURU]
I made it as a special treat
since we have guests visiting.
That's interesting. What kind?
[RIMURU] Well. The Demon Lord
Carrion's delegation
is arriving tomorrow.
[RIMURU]
How'd you do that in sync?!
[coughs] How'd you
end up playing host
to Demon Lord Carrion's people?!
[RIMURU]
It's kind of a long story...
[SHUNA sighs]
This feels so nice.
[SHION sighs]
Whoa, are you serious?
[RIMURU] Yep. Just tryin'
to be diplomatic.
It makes sense.
But still, a Demon Lord?
I imagine whoever
he sends will be real scary.
[RIMURU]
Maybe, who knows?
I'm hoping things
will go smoothly.
[YOUM] Wait, didn't you send
Benimaru with your guys
in case things got hairy?
I bet you anything their people
are doing the same thing.
[RIMURU] That wouldn't
surprise me in the least.
I don't want to ruin
a good opportunity
with v*olence, though.
Well, that's
a fair enough point.
[RIMURU] Make sure
you guys don't pick any fights
with them, either.
You don't have to talk
to us like we're idiots.
Believe it or not, we're
actually pretty smart
most of the time!
Aren't we?
You said it, boss.
[hiccups]
[RIMURU] Not related.
When you get the chance,
Hakurou was hoping to see you.
[YOUM grunts]
The master?
[RIMURU] He wants to make sure
you haven't gotten rusty.
Suddenly, I'm feeling
really sober.
[whining]
[RIMURU]
And so, the big day arrived.
[RIMURU]
Here they come.
[gasping]
[RIMURU]
Horse-drawn carriages?
No wait, those are
real friggin' tigers!
Talk about an entrance.
Oh, please, it's no big deal.
Compared to your power,
some tiger-drawn w*r chariot
hardly even works as a bluff.
[RIMURU]
I beg to differ!
Tigers seem like
a big deal to me!
Not to mention those fancy
decorations would serve
no purpose in an actual battle.
[RIMURU]
Back up the truck, Shion!
We're not talking
about battles, remember?
[ALBIS]
It is a pleasure to meet you.
You must be the leader of
the Jura Tempest Federation.
Rimuru, I presume?
I am known as Albis,
the Golden Serpent.
I'm also one of Demon Lord
Carrion's Three Beastketeers.
[RIMURU]
Whoa...
The dude sent his highest
ranking subordinates?
[SUPHIA]
This a joke?
[RIMURU gasps]
[SUPHIA] I only came on this
dumb trip 'cause I wanted to see
who the monster
leader of Tempest was.
And it turns out it's
a pathetic ball of slime?
Are you guys just screwin'
with us or somethin'?
[RIMURU] Wow... Rest in peace,
carriage door.
[ALBIS]
That's enough, Suphia.
If you don't watch your mouth,
you're going to embarrass
Lord Carrion with
your reckless opinions.
Who cares what you think?
You can't order me around.
Plus, hanging with
Dwarves is one thing.
But humans, too?
Anyone who pals around with
puny, insolent, cowardly humans
is a disgrace
to monsters everywhere!
[growling]
[RIMURU growls]
That's quite the hot take.
Youm here happens
to be my friend.
We're also both students
of the same master.
You act like I care.
[RIMURU]
Hey, Youm.
Doesn't it bug you that
she just wrote you guys off?
[YOUM]
Huh?
[RIMURU] Why don't you
show her what you can do?
I'll allow it this one time.
Hold on a second!
Last night, you were all
about peace and stuff!
[RIMURU] It's true that I wasn't
looking to start a fight,
but if they're itching for one,
then it's no slime off my back.
Oh? You wanna play, human?
I dunno.
[KAJIR] Go get her, boss!
Show her what you can do!
You're not a loser!
We believe in you!
Demonstrate your power!
[YOUM sighs]
All right, fine.
Master. Just clean up
the mess I leave behind.
Hah! So you're making
the slime clean up after you?
Guess that makes sense.
[RIMURU]
Sure, whatever you say... pal?
Wait? What's happening?
I just can't take it anymore.
All this girl has done
is hurl insults at you.
Until now, I have
exercised great patience.
But it would seem that's
no longer necessary.
[YOUM]
Hmm?
Uh. Hey!
[SHION]
You'll be fighting me instead.
I see. Think you can
take me hand-to-hand?
Then bring it on.
[SHION]
Hmm.
[SUPHIA grunting]
[BOTH]
Heh!
[SHION grunts]
[SUPHIA grunting]
[grunting, groaning]
[SUPHIA]
Heh.
[SHION]
Hah!
[RIMURU] Uh, should
I be worried about Shion?
She's fighting on her opponent's
terms, without her giant sword.
There's no need for concern,
Lord Rimuru.
Honestly, Shion is almost
as strong as my big brother.
[RIMURU]
Oh. Word.
My, sometimes there's
just no containing Suphia.
--Grucius.
--[GRUCIUS] Huh?
[ALBIS] Looks like you'll have
to take care of the human.
What?
So just because
I'm the runt of the brigade,
I have to do the fighting?
This is turning out
to be a pain.
[GRUCIUS grunts]
[sighs]
All right, human.
Let's do this.
Yeah. Sure.
Come at me.
Ahh...!
[GRUCIUS grunts]
[BOTH chuckle]
[RIMURU]
Man, Youm's pretty legit.
Grucius is a majin, and he's
managing to hold his own.
[SHUNA] Yes. He's
fighting magnificently.
[RIMURU] It looks like Hakurou's
training is really paying off!
Boss man's doin'
great out there!
Guess that's a champion for ya!
[SUPHIA grunts]
[laughs] Wow, I wasn't expecting
you to be this much fun!
Huh. Don't underestimate me.
A Kijin's power can
breach the heavens.
and shatter the ground.
Allow me to demonstrate!
[laughs]
Sounds good, bring it on!
You're actually
pretty entertaining!
[BOTH grunting]
[RIMURU] That's how,
immediately after the delegation
from Eurazania arrived,
a ferocious battle broke out.
[RIMURU] Of course, I was
the one who instigated it.
[GREAT SAGE] Next time,
"Trade with the Animal Kingdom."
