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

I'm happy Tempest is thriving,

but I wish it didn't come with so much paperwork.

What the hell?!

Rimuru! I'm going on an adventure with Gaia!

Uh, an adventure?

This will be an important experience for Gaia!

After all, as apex predators,

dragons only eat prey they've killed themselves.

So I'm going to teach it how to hunt!

Go, Gaia!

Chaotic Breath

That's a former Chaos Dragon for you!

Oho?

Well done, Gaia!

Gaia was reborn as an Elemental Dragon once again.

Elemental Dragons are the progenitors of all dragons,

and it was the most powerful of the True Dragons, the Star King Dragon,

who brought them into existence.

There are only four True Dragons in existence, including Veldora.

Dragons are beings in a class all their own.

R-Regrettable...

Floor 50 Conquered!!

Even Bovix is no match for us now!

Right? Right? It's like we're a little too strong now, right?

We are invincible!

Uh, Milim...

Well, you look like you're having a lovely time.

Yeah! Super duper... fun?!

F-Frey?!

Did you not promise that you would come home once Gaia hatched?

W-Well, you see...

My Gaia...

Take care of my friend!

Sure. I'll raise it well for you.

The labyrinth is the only place Gaia will have room to grow.

Now...

I need to get my act together before Shuna gets cross with me.

Time to really get to work on the vessels I promised Diablo!

That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime Season 4

Episode 85: New Companions

Right, then.

Now that I take a good look, there sure are a lot.

I never expected them to prepare so many for me.

Great Rimuru.

What's up, Diablo?

I had forgotten to tell you how many subordinates I will be bringing.

Oh, okay. How many?

A few hundred at most.

Certainly fewer than a thousand.

That's a lot!

I do have all these ready, but...

Is he really gonna bring a thousand of them here?

I mean, knowing him, it's possible.

Master! This one next, please!

Hey, they're hard at work.

Vesta, you start collecting data!

Once you finish that, you can get the paperwork together, and then—

Heya.

Sorry I had to ask for your help, Ramiris.

I hear you brought in Veldora and them, too?

Great Rimuru...

Huh?!

What's wrong with them?

Nothing, except there's so much to do and not enough of us.

That much? But the vessels are already made...

An elemental core?!

That was my idea!

I figured having a powerful core would make it even stronger!

All of Lady Ramiris's ideas are so magnificent and intriguing.

You're gonna put one in all of them?!

Yep!

There's no way she can come up with elemental cores for a thousand vessels!

And she's putting pseudo souls in them, too?

Pseudo Soul

Well? Pretty cool, huh?

Just seeing Rimuru make that face was all I needed out of this!

Yeah, I can see why you're short-handed.

Which is why I want an assistant!

Hm?

I mean, Vesta and Master have other work to do.

And everything going on here is top secret,

so it's not like just anyone will do.

More help, huh?

Rimuru, I also have a favor to—

Great Rimuru.

Shuna?

What brings you all the way out here?

There's someone here to see you.

There is?

He says he knows you.

His name is Deeno.

Huh?

Wasn't Deeno...

Hey.

Been a while.

Yep. Demon Lord Deeno.

He's in Octagram, like me.

I think his nickname was "Sleeping Ruler."

Take your time.

So? You doing good?

Yeah. Lots of problems to deal with, of course, so it hasn't been easy.

And what about you?

What brings you here?

Just came to hang out as fellow Demon Lords.

And the real reason?

Thing is, I was run out of where I'd been living.

Huh?

Well, I don't have a home, see,

so I've been crashing with Daggrull.

Oh, also, I'm flat broke.

And you call yourself a Demon Lord?!

This guy's actually pretty useless!

Now you know, so... I wanna crash here.

Not a chance.

What?!

Huh?

H-Hang on just a minute!

What, you want me to just die by the wayside, then?!

No, just work.

Don't ask so much of me!

It's my aesthetic never to work.

I haven't done a thing to earn money in centuries!

Never ate or drank out of my own pocket, either!

Well, ain't that something? Leave after you finish that.

Rimuru... no, Great Rimuru.

Please allow me to become a citizen of this country and serve you.

Your wish is my command!

Deeno, dude... did you just cave in over a cream puff?

If it means I get to eat yummy stuff like this every day,

I wanna live here!

I wanna! I wanna!

He really is useless.

Go on, get outta here.

Can you still say that after seeing this?

It's a letter for you from the oldest of the Demon Lords, Guy Crimson.

Guy? The red-haired one?

"Please look after Deeno."

Say what?! Why do I have to take care of him?!

Answer.

It is highly possible that the individual named Guy Crimson

dumped the individual named Deeno on you because he didn't want to provide for him.

See?

Don't you "See?" me!

It sucks, but I don't want Guy on my bad side.

Okay, fine.

I'll take care of you, but you're gonna work for it.

Huh?!

Work?!

Well, I call it "work," but it's really simple stuff.

I want you to be Ramiris's assistant.

Ramiris?

Isn't she just like me? I mean, she was holed up in that labyrinth so long...

W-Wait, Master! Stop!

The capsule's cracked!

Hey! What're you guys doing?!

R-Rimuru?! And... Deeno?!

What?! You put Veldora's magicules directly into the capsule?!

I thought, with his help, the doll might mature a little faster,

and the vessel would be finished sooner.

So the magicule density inside the capsule rose to abnormal levels,

and it nearly blew up?

Correct.

I should scold them for this, but...

Notice.

Notice

The individual named Veldora's waves made the magisteel Bone Golem transform.

Magisteel Doll

Trans form

It is a form of Adamantite.

It could be provisionally named Dragotite.

Well, that was an unexpected result.

Why were you in such a rush to finish the vessel, though?

Well, um...

I wanted the beings that are going to idolize me

to have their own bodies as soon as possible.

That would make them happy, too,

and then I'd have more help around here, you know?

Lady Ramiris...

You should've just talked to me, then.

Diablo isn't back yet, anyway.

I'll get you some bodies for the Dryads first.
