That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime (転生したらスライムだった件)

Alice Rondo.

Here!

Chloe Aubert.

Here.

Good, everyone's present.

Now, as you may recall, I'll be leaving Freedom Academy

at the end of the current term.

We know.

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?

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.

Professor Rimuru? It's me.

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...

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.

-- Have fun! -- All right.

-- See you tomorrow. --Let's talk about finals.

Good riddance!

Seems Professor Tiss is getting along well

with the kids.

Yes.

She can take over for me after I leave.

That's good.

Now then...

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.

I'm Rimuru Tempest.

I also happen to be a slime.

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.

I founded a new nation for monsters.

And I fought to protect everyone in it.

Shizu's last wish...

...was to save those kids.

With a little help from some spirits...

...we were able to save them all.

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.

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.

I appointed Benimaru to lead our delegation,

with Rigur as his assistant.

He looks so grown up!

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.

Yep. Not bad.

Hoo boy.

This shape's a little tougher to hold.

Lord Rimuru, thank you for waiting!

Waugh!

We've selected a variety of ceremonial outfits

for today's big meeting.

Oh, thanks a lot!

I guess I'll go ahead and try them on.

This might actually be a bit much.

Well, perhaps you'd prefer this one instead.

It, uh, still seems a little over the top.

I recommend this one, Lord Rimuru!

You look fantastic!

It suits you wonderfully!

Listen, I appreciate the effort.

But I think we need something that reflects

the occasion a bit more appropriately.

Are the outfits we selected inappropriate?

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!

You look amazing, sir!

Don't you think, Gobzo?

Mm.

Wow. He's so cool!

Yeah, just like you, Sir Gabiru!

--It's true! --You're both great.

Those clothes suit you nicely, Master!

Enough with the compliments!

Well, then.

I wish you all the best on your diplomatic mission.

Is that it, my lord?

Was that not enough?!

Ahem.

That was just my opener.

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!

Right!

It was such an eloquent speech!

His sagacious words have reduced me to tears!

Uh...

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.

Thanks. Still though.

Try not to go and pick any fights, y'hear me?

There's no need to worry.

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.

Make us proud, everybody!

Be careful on your journey!

Good luck in Eurazania!

Farewell, Brother! Please come back safely!

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.

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.

The reception hall wait staff are ready to go.

Thanks to some additional guidance from Vesta.

I guess proper etiquette is kind of his forte.

It's nice to have an actual noble around.

Let's see... What else?

The date for your visit to the Armed Nation of Dwargon

has been set.

Right...

I need to meet King Gazel in person to officially thank him

for establishing diplomatic relations with Tempest.
