That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime Season 4

Episode 74: The Dungeon Evolves

Let's go.

I'll handle this one!

Masayuki!

I get it!

A pincer attack!

So this is what Masayuki was trying to do!

That's our Hero!

I'll back you up!

Mad Hand!

Now's your chance!

Wind Cutter!

Jiwu!

Masayuki!

Huh?

Master Masayuki, you saved me!

We've got new merch on sale commemorating Masayuki the Hero's conquest of floor 30!

If you're not gonna buy them now, then when?!

We've got tasty Masayuki Buns!

Hey, did you hear about Masayuki the Hero's battle?

Yeah! I can't believe he snapped that sword in two and stabbed the boss with it!

Masayuki the Hero is on the scene!

On the scene!

Man, you're a real hit with the general public now...

Masayuki-san the Hero!

Not you, too, Rimuru-san.

I barely did anything.

Oh, please. You certainly are a master of humility.

Seriously, though, that was a huge success!

The rest area accessible from all areas

and all the other ideas you gave us were perfect!

Right, right, right! You mean the door to the town on floor 95!

And the idea of charging three silver to go there!

It might be a bit steep for a usage fee,

but the inn there is getting rave reviews!

Everyone is thrilled to have a place in the dungeon

where they can get a warm meal and a safe place to sleep!

It's immensely popular!

In other words, our shoring up of the dungeon was a great success!

It sure was!

And challengers of higher levels are showing up, too.

It's perfect!

Incidentally, there are some adventurers who've been standing out lately, huh?

Team Green Fury.

The up-and-coming party that cleared twenty floors in just three days.

And the key to their speed is probably their leader, the elementalist,

who uses Spirit Correspondence

to get the spirits in the dungeon to show them the way.

That's what Raphael-sensei taught me, at least.

What do you wanna do? I bet I could slow them down.

Nah, we shouldn't.

It's a valid way to take on the dungeon.

And having multiple teams in the spotlight will generate more excitement!

Roger!

Thanks to them, profits are on the rise, too.

Even after deducting necessary expenses, we're making plenty of profits.

Profits?!

Y-Y-Y-Y-Y-Y-You mean I'll finally get paid soon?!

I-It's so much...

Oh, I get money, too?

Of course!

When you do good work, you get to enjoy the profits.

That's very important.

Indeed!

I have experience working at a food stall.

I understand that work is a noble thing.

Said with such an air of superiority.

This is it!

At last, my time has come!

Yes, the dungeon is a rousing success thanks to you two!

Businesses on the surface are booming these days, too.

More and more merchants from the Western Nations are looking to trade here.

Really? Just what we were hoping for!

Our nation draws people to it by appealing to their desires.

If they think of us as people who can fulfill them,

we have a good chance of getting along.

Yes. There's no doubt that we are regarded as worthy of trust.

You're fitting right into your job as minister of finance,

aren't you, Mjöllmile-kun?

All thanks to your guidance, Your Majesty Rimuru.

Management of our dungeon is finally on track.

The lowest floor is a large space that starts with Veldora's hall

and opens up into all sorts of research facilities.

Among these facilities headed by Director Gabiru and Deputy Director Vesta

is the facility where Ramiris does research of her own.

I also asked Ramiris to make a development facility just for me.

Here, I don't need to worry about protection or having secrets leaked,

so I can focus on the vessel that Diablo asked me for.

I also promised I'd make vessels for Treyni-san's sisters while I'm at it.

I see... If I do this, it'll be more...

Great Rimuru!

What now? Just when I was getting somewhere...

Notice.

You have had no contact with the outside for several days.

It is possible that something has happened.

Huh?!

Um... What is it?

Oh, you're all right!

We were so worried.

You didn't even come back for your meals.

Sorry, I kinda got absorbed.

Not at all. We're just glad you're all right.

Yes.

No one would complain about you using your own time freely.

I'll try to put in an appearance every day from now on.

Ooh, these look great!

Oh, by the way, Mr. Mjöllmile was searching for you.

Mjöllmile was?

Great Rimuru!

What's got you in such a panic?

W-We have a problem!

There's someone, in addition to

Master Masayuki, who's about to beat floor 30!

Do you mean...

Yes! Team Green Fury!

Oh, right! It's this one!

Next.

What the heck?

These guys are really pushing the boundaries of our rules!

Like with this!

A Recording Crystal.

It's a single-use save point that all members of a party can use.

Say they use these right before a boss room.

Then they can use the Return Whistle to leave the dungeon.

Then the party is dissolved.

Party Dissolved

Then each member comes back with ten members, the max allowed,

Party Reformed

forming a new party and returning to the save point.

Then they have 100 people.

By that point, it's a small army.

They can defeat bosses that way?

I had Miss Soka look into it,

and it seems she's part of a famous mercenary band called Vert.

We suspect she's getting her money from Engrassia.

Engrassia, huh?

We predict they'll succeed in defeating the boss on the fortieth floor, as well.

Even Bovix and his crew on the fiftieth floor

may struggle with a force so great in number.

True...

This is bad.

This is a very bad turn of events.

The thing is...

What?!

The boss monsters from the sixtieth floor down aren't working right?!

Well... remember when you told the Crusaders at the festival

that they could train here?

While you were holed up underground, they started from floor 51.

In the end, they were destroyed by my Elemental Colossus on floor 70...

but then Hinata apparently got fed up with them.

This can't be possible, even for Lady Hinata.

What?

Not possible?

And then Hinata's march of fury began!

Yikes.

It was absolutely dreadful.

First, as if it wasn't enough that she destroyed the Elemental Colossus,

she went on to destroy all the following bosses!

She made it all the way to the ninetieth floor in no time.

I-It wasn't in its best condition due to reasons!

And then she spent a nice, restful night at the inn on floor 95,

after which she destroyed all the dragons Lady Milim caught for us.

Is she just trolling?

Wait, that means...

Yes. At last, it was my turn.

Are you kidding me?! You fought her?!

Let all who will come, come!

As the final boss, I will neither run nor hide from anyone!
