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

He's done it yet again, another absurd stuff.

Unbelievable.

Not only did that slime become a Demon Lord,

but he also defeated the Saint Hinata.

You're being disrespectful, Vaughn.

Still, you're telling me to seriously believe what's written here?

There is no mistake.

Over a hundred of Crusaders were utterly defeated,

and Demon Lord Rimuru defeated the Saint Hinata in a one-on-one battle.

As a result, Lubelius is establishing a diplomatic relationship with Tempest.

Don't be so mad, Henrietta.

I am as surprised by this as anyone here.

I am sure Vaughn couldn't help but laugh.

But now is not the time to laugh.

King Gazel.

Demon Lord Rimuru may have grown stronger than you are now.

He's a threat.

Lady Jaine!

It is threatening that he has evolved into a Demon Lord,

but I know what kind of man Rimuru is.

I doubt he would betray my trust in him.

What is your bidding, my liege?

A ceremony to mark his appointment as a Demon Lord?

That Rimuru... Just what is he planning this time?

I lean against the big tree to have a chill time

Hoping even the clear wind that passes by briskly

won't lose patience with me

If we take up the sword

while we're still young at heart

there's no turning back

If I end up hurting someone, I want to apologize

So do you You have your reason, right?

This story won't end as just a dream

Let's weave this love

Make me believe it's being tied by an unbreakable thread

Widen your angle of view Make it so there is no death zone

Let's immerse ourselves in this dizzying world

Not because of someone else's doing

Let's stay together today

Let's sleep while holding hands

Day by Day Our lives won't last forever

I embrace my anxieties

There's absolutely no right answer, so let me try this

I turn on my headphone

I feel nostalgic again today

I want to treasure things that touch my heartstrings

I want to stay barefoot

I want to keep my promises

I want to be myself

Hmm...

Does something matter?

I'm just thinking we need something other than festivals

like a hit event that would encourage people to keep coming back to our nation.

I asked Mjöllmile about the battle tournament,

but I don't think we can hold it that many times in a year.

So I want something that can get people coming on a daily basis.

I see...

Oh, c'mon! Don't be such a hard-head!

It's rowdy over there.

Did something happen?

Like I said! We're taking over this place!

I get what you're trying to say, but we can't easily accept that, you know?

This guy is Gobukyuu.

He is Myrd's apprentice, and a skilled craftsman.

I'll go ask Great Rimuru, so I'd like it if you could stay put and wait here.

No!

We came all the way here after abandoning our last labyrinth!

Are you going to kick out us poor, homeless women with no place else to go?

Still, this is Great Rimuru's territory.

Tch, can't sob story my way in, eh?

In that case, I won't hesitate to use force!

If you keep nitpicking every little thing,

my sweet Beretta here won't stay-

What are you doing here?

W-Well, hey, Rimuru! How is it going?

Lady Ramiris.

I've brought over some new wood.

What are you doing, Ms. Treyni?

W-Well, if it isn't Sir Rimuru. I'm glad to see you well.

- Crap! - Could you explain this to me, Ms. Treyni?

W-Well, this is not what it looks like.

L-Lady Ramiris did nothing wrong, um...

Explain to me, Beretta.

Ah, so it has to be me, huh?

It all began yesterday...

I don't think we can keep this on anymore.

We need to move out of here, too!

Correct as always, Lady Ramiris!

You always have the most brilliant idea!

I know, right? Right?

One moment, please.

Setting aside whether it is a brilliant idea or not,

where do you intend us to move to?

And could you tell us why?

I'm glad you asked!

Beretta, don't you think it's boring here?

There's nothing to play with in here, and the only fun we have is making golems.

Barely anyone even comes.

But there are a lot of things in Tempest!

So I'm thinking we should move out there!

But Lady Ramiris,

didn't Sir Rimuru already turn you down once?

Beretta, you're thinking too hard about this.

Sir Rimuru is a nice man.

He'd never deny a request from someone as cute and lovable as Lady Ramiris!

This dryad is a capable woman only when Lady Ramiris is not involved...

So that's the story.

Beretta, you traitor!

And as a matter of fact, like Lady Ramiris said,

we came here after she had sealed all the doors to her labyrinth.

There you have it!

So if you kick me out of here, I would have nowhere else to live!

Oh, poor, poor Lady Ramiris.

Please don't pamper her like that, Ms. Treyni.

But well, I get your situation.

Sorry that you went through that, Gobukyuu.

Well, I was fine, but...

She got some of our guards...

Hey!

W-Well, I got a little excited...

It's not Lady Ramiris's fault!

Those guards were saying mean things to her,

so I simply put them to sleep with my spell.

So to sum it up...

You tried to build a hut here

and the guards tried to stop you.

And since they got in your way, you ordered Ms. Treyni to put them to sleep,

but you got found by Gobukyuu.

Do I have this right?

Well...

No, that's not exactly the case!

Or so I think... or I don't think...

Maybe?

Oh, you...

Door...

Doors to the labyrinth, huh...

Maybe this could work.

Your Excellency.

I have received an invitation from the nation of monsters.

I never expected he would actually get recognized as a Demon Lord...

Well, that's fine and all...

I can't really bring Her Excellency with me this time...

Oh?

Your Excellency?

You went to such an interesting place all by yourself?

Well, weren't you fortunate? I'm sure you had a fabulous time there.

Ah...

Not only that, you went there claiming to be my envoy

and form a relationship with them without my knowing.

If our business with them were so important, I would love to go there myself.

M-My pardon, Your Excellency!

It was undoubtedly a nation of monsters!

I couldn't possibly bring you along into such a dangerous place!

If such an interesting creature exist, I would love to see it with my own eyes.

Even more, to meet a Demon Lord so soon after his birth?

I've lived for many years, but not even I had such an opportunity.

Have you heard of the phrase "steal a march"?

To be treated this way by my own people...

What a pitiful emperor I am!

I've never been so envio- No,

so offended in my life!

Who knows just how much excite- I mean, danger that awaits there,

but you went off there without telling me!

It is scandalous!

So, what do you intend to do with this?

Do what, Your Excellency?

Mmm? You want to play dumb?

By the way, Erald.

You know those sweet pastries we procured from Mr. Yoshida?

It appears their quality has drastically improved recently.

You know why?

Mr. Yoshida?

I believe he was the baker who runs an establishment in Engrassia?

What about him?

I suppose even a strategic genius such as yourself

is oblivious to the goings-on in the streets?

What a disappointment.

I'm terribly sorry.

So what does Mr. Yoshida have to do with this invitation from Sir Rimuru?

What? You really don't know?

Eryune brought some of his pastries to me as a souvenir a while back...

...but it seems she didn't give you any.

She what ?!

Well then, let me tell you.

Mr. Yoshida has started to procure his ingredients from a certain source.

And thanks to that, the quality of his pastries improved.

The souvenir Eryune brought me was the most tremendous cake I've ever had.

A cake?!

Why didn't you bring anything for me, Eryune?!

So I scouted him to come work here in Thalion.

But he turned me down.

No matter how much money I offered him, he refused to come here.

What are you doing, Your Excellency?

But recently, Mr. Yoshida apparently said he'd be closing his café.

Is he planning to open another location? Or maybe he's planning to move elsewhere?

Either way, being unable to taste his desserts during

his hiatus would be a huge problem, wouldn't it?

Not really, no.

Oh?

You're really saying that?
