The Slime Diaries (転生したらスライムだった件 転スラ日記)

One month ago,

Granville and Grandmaster Yuuki Kagurazaka made contact.

They appear to have made some sort of agreement.

If they're going to do anything, it will likely be—

Here in Lubelius?

Gran was the head of the Seven Days Clergy for many years.

He knows this country even better than I do.

This could be trouble.

Demon Lord Luminus!

No, Lady Luminus!

1700 Years Ago, Lubelius Outskirts -

I place my faith in you.

I wish to borrow your power.

So that I can protect humanity

and you can better rule Lubelius,

I propose we join forces and work together!

He was so young and filled with hope.

There's no trace of that left now.

He has aged so...

Aged?

The former Hero and former head of the Seven Days Clergy?

I even gave my love energy to all of the elders.

So why...

Pardon me.

Demon Lord Rimuru and his entourage from Tempest have arrived in Lubelius.

That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime Season 4

So this is Lubelius!

Episode 88: Gran, the Hero of Dawn

Wow...

What a pretty city!

Welcome. I'm glad you're here.

So we're just waiting for the musicians now?

Yeah. They should all be here soon.

You can really feel the history in this city.

It's not like Tempest, is it?

Wh... What the heck is this?!

Wow...

It looks so good!

I'm diggin' in!

How pretty!

It looks like jewels!

Never have I eaten a meal like this before!

What's wrong?

It's gone already.

This looks tasty, too!

Not so loud.

Um, Great Rimuru...

Is it really all right for us musicians to receive such hospitality?

Well, that's just how much they're looking forward to your performance.

Yes. We're expecting the best.

Of course! We will live up to your expectations!

Well said! That's the spirit, Takt!

Hey... e-er...

Yep. We're counting on you.

Night, Sensei.

Goodnight.

Night.

Make sure you keep your bellies covered.

Okay.

Great Rimuru, what are your plans after this?

Well...

Come to think of it, I haven't met with Luminus yet.

Um, Great Rimuru...

The maid is asking if we'd like room service.

Oh, good idea!

Maybe something warm to... drink...

Rats. I thought you'd be more surprised.

Well, I kinda suspected you'd do something.

Though...

I definitely didn't expect her to come out dressed as a maid.

Still, I must commend you on leaving that Evil Dragon behind.

Wait, where's Hinata?

She is asleep.

So... what'd you bring me here for?

I was a bit hesitant to bring this up to you, our guest...

but that Granville seems to be plotting something.

This will likely be the last time we Five Elders meet.

We must stop Demon Lord Rimuru from seizing control over humanity at any cost.

But now that we've lost Maribel...

Should we not quietly amass strength while pretending to be obedient for a while?

Do not be daunted.

No matter how many must be sacrificed,

it is us humans who ought to rule the world of man.

Am I wrong?

I will place one final bet.

Lord Granville...

I have very little time left.

My domain is quite far removed from the conflict.

As a survivor of the Rozzo family,

I shall serve as an observer of the correct history.

Very good.

You accept this?

I am ordering the rest of you to die.

I am also a Rozzo.

My spirit is with you to the very end!

As is mine!

In that case, Johann, you will use the Disciples of Vert.

The mercenary group that worked with Gaban?

They are zealots who worship the so-called "Green Goddess."

They have summoned an enormous demon, whom they revere as a god,

and they aim to plunge the world into chaos.

Their fondest wish is to play a leading role when the world is engulfed in war.

Their interests align with our own as we march toward death.

Yes.

Then allow me to at least return the trump card

you left with me to help protect the north.

Razul...

Humans can only become Saints after living a very long time.

Unlike monsters, even when they evolve, their bodies do not immediately adapt.

The reason Hinata needs sleep after becoming a Saint

is because she retained her human body.

But Granville is not a Saint.

He is what hatched from the Hero's Egg.

Hero's Egg?

Indeed.

Think of it as how a Demon Lord becomes a True Demon Lord after awakening.

So you mean...

Granville is a True Hero?

So this is our new land?

It's beautiful! Isn't it, Gran?

It is, Maria.

Just like the promised land we've been searching for.

We will bring these western lands together

and make the east and west one.

Then all humans will come together to take down the Demon Lords.

We will build a world where all humans can live in peace.

You really love humans, don't you, Gran?

It's why you're able to keep fighting.

You're a bit of an odd one, though. And stubborn.

Not as much so as Razul.

You won't find many other oddballs

who would give so much for the sake of humans without even being one.

You may be right.

I fight not for humans.

I fight because I have faith in you, Gran.

On the name you gave me, "Razul," I will realize our dream with you.

Yes.

No matter what it takes, we will make a world where everyone can live in peace.

Let us enter our promised land!

Gran, the Dawn Hero...

His wish was utterly preposterous.

The Western Nations at the time were even more chaotic than they are now.

Daggrull, the Earthquake, embraced territorial ambitions.

There were demons from the north who served Guy,

and even that detestable Evil Dragon attacked as he pleased.

Naturally, they saw me as an enemy.

We battled many, many times.

However, once Gran understood that I wished to coexist with humans,

he chose to come to an agreement.

And then these western lands became peaceful.

Many settlements came together, countries were born,

and small nations prospered and grew into large ones.

In the midst of all this, Gran became a man of two faces:

Gran, of Lubelius's Seven Days Clergy,

and Granville, the good statesman of Seltrozzo.

My son, Rolf, and Princess Isabella of Seltrozzo

will be given a grand wedding here in my kingdom!

To a deeper friendship and greater prosperity! Cheers!

Cheers!

Thank you, as well, Minister.

The wedding day cannot come soon enough!

Those pests!

If they hadn't shown up, I could take over this—

Shall I lend you my aid?

Use that.

It can pierce anyone, even a Saint... or a Hero.

Lady Maria, where might Lord Granville be?

He'll be a bit late.

His mediation in a neighboring country is taking longer than planned.
