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

It won't be long now.

Demon Lord Rimuru has set out for Lubelius with the failed Heroes.

Demon Lord Leon, given his obsession with Otherworlders,

will soon make his way there, as well.

With no protection from the north,

Yuuki Kagurazaka and his forces are moving according to plan.

Northern Part of the Kingdom of Engrassia: Cidre Domain -

The Five Elders are acting in the interests of the Rozzo family.

Western Nations Council Headquarters -

The stage is nearly set.

Forgive me, Maria.

It seems unlikely I will make it to our promised land.

It's time to march.

I'm going to put an end to all of this.

That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime Season 4

Episode 89: Lubelius, the Point of Convergence

You've come to visit me for the first time in so long,

and yet you're still so unfriendly...

Leon.

I find it difficult to smile under the current circumstances.

Have I ever even seen you smile once since you were a Hero?

There is no time.

Let's get to the point.

Are you going to ask me if I saw those children in Demon Lord Rimuru's country?

She knows my situation, then.

Correct.

Demon Lord Rimuru seems to have misgivings about me,

though I have no intention of being his enemy.

Your usual behavior—

the fact that you're collecting children summoned from another world—

is the bottleneck, yes?

Very well.

If you wish to be friendly with Tempest, I'll take action for you.

We can't have you and your people starting fights with us, after all.

Anyway, the children, right?

I saw them.

You did?

Yes. They were having a delightful time at the festival.

Was one of them a girl named Chloe?

So you're finally ready to trust me?

I am no longer in a position to keep secrets from those I recognize as friends.

Very well, Demon Lord Leon.

If you're going to trust me, I will help you.

Yes, there was a girl among them named Chloe Aubert.

She's the one you've been searching for, yes?

You knew from the beginning?

You are too reticent.

That's why the Hero Shizue Izawa didn't trust you, is it not?

This is unjust suspicion. I...

I would do anything to save her.

That's exactly why Chloe's gonna hate you, too!

Quiet!

So the children are with Rimuru, then?

You seem doubtful, but Tempest and Lubelius are innocent.

Just how much do you know, exactly?

It's called politics.

The ones acting suspiciously are the Rozzos.

I have intel that they're going to attack Lubelius,

now that they've lost all their protection in the north.

It's huge news there.

Guy is sure to act, then.

Yes.

That's why I'm having the Magus prepare to head north.

If you intend to go to Lubelius, they'll escort you part of the way.

Apologies, but I act in the interests of my own goal.

I'd like to intervene with Guy,

but doing so carelessly may have the opposite effect.

It'll be fine. Go on, now.

Thank you.

As for Cerberus...

They definitely intend to drag you into this.

It's a trap for sure.

I know that.

He's as awkward as ever.

As thanks, I will tell you this one thing:

Jaune has vanished.

What?

It appears even you were not aware of that yet.

I'm glad I could be of use.

Everyone just does whatever they want...

What a nice morning.

Would you like a refill?

Nah, I'm good.

I'll have another.

May I offer these scones for dessert?

They pair very well with black tea.

Maybe I will have some, then.

Those look good.

For you.

Oh, thank you.

What the heck are these two doing?

Sorry to ask after I requested you come here,

but isn't the Council meeting in Engrassia today?

Don't you need to go?

Yeah, I do need to be there for the main part tomorrow.

Also, I'm having my new military attaché handle the Council.

Diablo scouted someone really capable for me.

Oh?

And who is your military atta—

Lady Hinata!

An unknown force has invaded the Grand Cathedral!

A battle has broken out!

I'll go on ahead.

Right.

What's the status? Is everyone okay?

Do not falter!

So long as Great Rimuru is here, we have nothing to worry about!

Continue practicing!

Lady Shion is right!

Let's resume practicing, everyone!

Is this really the time?

Diablo...

I have already taken steps.

Venom and Kumara are protecting them to ensure no one is hurt.

Rimuru-sensei!

Don't worry.

We came to watch them practice,

and suddenly chaos broke loose outside...

It's okay. You're safe in here.

Shion.

Yes?

Look after the kids.

Sensei! I wanna fight, too!

I-I'll go, too!

I'll protect you guys. Just wait here.

We can't get careless with this one.

Well, how unusual. An Insect?

Insect?

We have Zegion and Apito,

but they're nothing like this one.

That is its final, perfect form.

Insects are essentially the natural enemies of us demons.

Are you gonna be okay?

No need to worry.

If I couldn't handle a little matter like this,

I would not be worthy of serving you.

I'll leave him to you and Shion, then.

Understood.

And what will you do?

I'm gonna go take out this pest's boss!

Gran the Sunday Priest, you will die this time!

Disintegration!

Spread out!

Hmph. So you survived.

You should be grateful to that Demon Lord.

Rimuru!

That's the one who hatched from the Hero's Egg...

That's him?

Yes.

The head of the Five Elders and leader of the Rozzo family, Granville.

But I don't know the woman behind him.

She kinda looks like Maribel...

But more importantly...

We finally meet, Granville-san.

Demon Lord Rimuru.

You will pay for what you did to my Maribel.

Whoa, whoa! That was your...

Yeah, that won't change your mind, huh?

So he's after revenge?

He should have been informed that Maribel's death was an accident...

Notice.

I surmise that reconciliation is impossible, no matter the outcome.

Yeah, I know.
