01x10 - Didn't Seem Like a Good Time for That

[bunniefuu]

ORDARION

There are no good quests.

Is he leaving?

Yes. He didn't take any quests.

Let's talk inside.

A young adventurer
with black hair and black eyes.

Is he Yuji?

Yes. The former assassination candidate.

Headquarters said
he is no real cause for concern.

The low-level assassins said that, right?

Their reports cannot be trusted.

We should k*ll him
while we have the chance.

No. k*lling him is bad.

It must not be known that the Blue Moon
of Salvation took over the guild.

Our years of hard work will end in vain.

That's why we worked so hard
to get the Artificial Rain Device.

However, it still failed in the end.

Although it rained,

someone managed to defeat the Fire Dragon.

For now, let's report to Lord Walter.

Walter...

I understand.

Father Steyl, did the Divine Message
guide you here?

Yes. I've been waiting for you here.

It seems the guild in this town has been
taken over by the Blue Moon of Salvation.

Seems like it.

However, this is still a safe place.

Good to hear.

They seem to know about you.

About that, I have something to tell you.

It's about the past between Walter and me.

There used to be an organization
called the Blue Moon Church.

I'm ashamed to mention this.
I was a bit of a ruffian in my youth.

In the beginning,
we imitated the church, making up a ritual

for our fellow mercenaries
fallen in battle.

As time went by, people and villagers
who lost their homes started to join us.

Walter was one of them.

Walter was a passionate man,
strongly devoted to God and his faith.

I accepted him and he became
my right-hand man.

But it turned out he had other plans.

Walter was very ambitious

and thought I was a nuisance.

One day, I received a Divine Message.

God said to disband the Blue Moon Church.

But I didn't want to lose my comrades,

and disobeyed God's command.

A few days later,
the Blue Moon Church was attacked.

My comrades helped me escape,

but everyone else was k*lled.

God must have warned me
because He saw what would happen.

The people who attacked us wanted to
take control of the Blue Moon Church.

The person who led them
was none other than Walter.

They used the Blue Moon Church
and its faith,

turning it into
a more extreme religious cult.

Their aim is to bring
"salvation" to the world.

Now, they are known as

the Blue Moon of Salvation.

Walter has taken over
the neighboring regions

and is planning something terrible.

That is what I came here to tell you.

I never imagined
you were their original founder.

That is why I must take responsibility.

I came here according to
the Divine Message.

Perhaps God wants me
to stop Walter as well.

I received
another Divine Message just now.

Johan.

"As chaos descends upon the world,

the Light of Filth
will stain the firmament.

Guide the emissary
to where God's salvation awaits."

What does it mean?

The Blue Moon of Salvation,
or Walter, is the "Light of Filth."

He will bring the world into chaos.

The emissary will appear before Walter.

I think that's what it means.

I see.

Yuji. You will meet Walter one day.

But I am not an emissary.

The old legends say

that the one who can use
the Dagger of Kethis,

is the emissary.

Prepare yourself.

May God protect you.

So, he is the emissary.

Johan.

Why didn't you tell him
the last part of the Divine Message?

There's more to it, right?

This is to protect the emissary.

If he knows about the last part,

he will probably disobey God.

Lord Walter.

We got a report that Steyl met someone
who may be the emissary in Ordarion.

Is it that Tamer?

Is everything ready?

Yes. Preparations are complete.

-Go on, then.
-Yes.

God, please guide me.

"As chaos descends upon the world,

the Light of Filth
will stain the firmament.

Guide the emissary
to where God's salvation awaits."

"The death of the guide
will bring forth the Sage."

The death of the person
who guides the Sage.

Walter and Steyl.

Now I know their connection,

but I don't think I'm the emissary.

It was Steyl who gave me this dagger.

Who cares what the legends say?

Legends...

There's really someone
who can use that sort of magic.

I think I heard about it in some church.

A great monster tamer from the legends

who used slimes to move items.

Now I remember.

I should ask about it tomorrow.

He's no longer here?

Yes.

He said he had some urgent business.

He left with his follower in the morning.

How troublesome.

Are we going out?

Yes. I have something to do.

-Slimes.
-Yes.

What is it?

Have you seen
two people in priest outfits?

One of them has white hair.

I haven't seen them.

Anyone else?

No.

I didn't see them.

I saw them.

They passed through here in the morning.

They were heading deep into the forest.

Good. Go after the two people.

Recruit any slimes
in the forest if needed.

Got it.

Leave it to me!

Let's go.

Understood.

Father. This is...

Yes. A man-made curse.

Ancient God, please grant me strength.

Shine the light of God

and bless the lingering dark

with God's will

so the depths of chaos will be dispersed.

Let's go.

They're not around here.

Not here, either.

Or here.

Where did they go?

-I didn't see them.
-Where are they?

MONSTER, SLIME, TAMING SUCCESSFUL

I said they could recruit more,

but isn't this too many?

I saw someone with white hair.

He went inside a dark place.

A dark place?

I know. It's a very scary place.

I will never go inside.

You can't come out once you go inside.

That sounds like a terrifying place.

Take me there.

Okay!

Father.

Seems like they won't allow me
to pass through this place easily.

Anti-spell Reinforcement.
Defense Reinforcement.

What's this?

God, protect me...

Is this the place?

Yes. A dark place.

They went in here.

I'm scared.

This place is so creepy.

Dispel Curse - Extreme!

Okay. Let's go.

-Got it.
-Incredible!

Steyl, it's been a long time.

Walter.

Did the Divine Message bring you here?

The death of the guide
will bring forth the Sage.

I'm fully prepared to die.

This time,
I'll act according to the Divine Message.

I didn't obey it back then,
and lost many of my comrades.

I will never repeat the same mistake.

In that case, I'll help you out.

They've all been defeated.

Amazing!

This is...

Steyl, not bad.

It reminds me of you in the past.

Don't underestimate me.

I'm still good at fighting.

It does seem so.

So, I made careful plans
in order to capture you.

When did you cast a spell?

Johan.

I see.

You used me to guide the emissary here.

You are the one who arranged everything.

It was a magic stone at first.

The magic stone we placed

was dispelled by someone.

My mission was to find the one
who was interfering with our plans

and get rid of him.

However, that person
was stronger than I imagined.

The monsters we sent were useless.

As we were trying
to confirm his whereabouts,

the moon turned blue
and the ancient Blue Dragon appeared.

You know about everything after that.

Right, Johan?

Yes. Steyl gave
the Dagger of Kethis to the emissary.

Steyl received the Divine Message

and took the Dagger of Kethis
out of the imperial capital.

The emissary probably used
the power of the dagger

to defeat the ancient Blue Dragon.

After that, Steyl and I went into hiding.

He must have been afraid

that his meeting with the emissary

might reveal his whereabouts
to the Blue Moon of Salvation.

However, during this period,

the emissary kept ruining our plans.

After that was the Fire Dragon
that had been sleeping in the magma.

We tried to use the curse made from
Dragon's Grace to enrage the Fire Dragon,

but it was defeated,
and our plan failed again.

Exactly. The emissary's power
has greatly exceeded my expectations.

He saved the world.

However, everything ends today.

Our plan is already in its next phase.

With this new Divine Message,
our ideals will be realized.

Steyl, feel despair!

Your efforts are in vain.

This filthy world will abandon you

and God will stand on my side.

I will sacrifice myself for the emissary.

I don't mind losing my life.

It is also my revenge
for my comrades who died because of you.

If I am k*lled, the emissary will appear.

He will definitely spoil your plans.

If you want to die not knowing the truth,
I will grant your wish.

This is...

I've granted the curse's power
to the believers.

Is this the Light of Filth?

You actually cursed them? You monster!

My friend. That's the face I want to see.

The expression of hating me
and being humiliated.

I'm glad I got to see you one last time.

Father Steyl.

I have something I want to ask you.

But it seems it's not the time for that.

-Slimes' Isekai Preview...
-Slimes' Isekai Preview...

I am Slime.

Something seems weird.

Something important will happen.

What is it?

Something very important.

How important?

Something very terrible.

Well, what is it then?

Yuji will... What was I saying?

Can't you remember?

-As the Divine Message Says!
-As the Divine Message Says!

What will happen?
