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

What are you doing here, Milim?

It looked like you were doing something fun here, so I stopped by.

You've sure got some nerve to leave me behind on some fun, Rimuru!

- Hey... - Heh. Milim, huh?

Seems like this noble work performed by grown-ups

is far too complex for children like you.

This is not a playground. Stay out of our way!

Master is right!

We're doing our job over here, so you should go play elsewhere!

What do you mean it looks fun?

I'm planning a huge festival because you sent me this letter, remember?

What?

So you weren't ignoring my letter?

Of course not.

Since I'm inviting Demon Lords, I can't just do it normally, can I?

Wait a minute, Rimuru! I'm a Demon Lord, too, you know!

I'm part of the Octagram with you and Milim!

How can I even invite you after you decided to just up and move here?!

What?! You moved here?! What's that supposed to mean?!

Don't tell me, Ramiris, are you living with Rimuru?!

What?

Oh, that's right. I don't even need to get invited!

I'm not a loner any longer, and I'm living with Rimuru and everything, too!

No fair! No fair! I wanna live here, too!

Ha-ha! Tough luck! I've got a job here, remember?

I'm helping out Rimuru!

I'm not some unwelcome house guest who causes trouble like you!

What? How dare you say that! Why, I oughtta...

That's enough!

No sweets for anyone who's bickering!

W-We're good friends!

Right?

Good job, Shuna.

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

You may give me a job as well!

But will those under you be okay with that?

Did you get permission from Mr. Carrion or Ms. Frey to come here?

Um, yeah...

Well, y'know. I'm really smart and stuff,

so it's not like I ran away 'cause I don't like studying or anything!

Stare...

No! Don't say it! I'll stay here and help you, and that's that!

All right, you're the one who's gonna get yelled at anyway,

so let's set that aside for now.

So what about those dragons you mentioned?

You said you could capture them and bring them over, didn't you?

Is that really possible?

Will they really yell at me after this?

Eh, whatever!

They do say there's no adventuring without a little danger!

So dragons, huh?

Sure, you can capture them just fine.

In fact, how 'bout I do it for ya?

And like that, I asked Milim to capture some dragons for me...

Earth Dragon.

Wind Dragon.

Ice Dragon.

Fire Dragon.

We captured those four dragons and released them in the dungeon.

Thanks to the magicule Veldora released,

monsters started spawning inside the dungeon...

...and the installation of the traps went well.

Step on the next one.

All right, got it!

Great Rimuru!

I'm sorry we didn't make it here sooner.

I'll be in your care starting today!

And long time no see, Sir Rigurd!

Hey, Mjöllmile, thanks so much for coming!

Looks like the preparation has progressed pretty far.

I also see quite a lot of people coming from outside the town.

All thanks to you.

Whoa! What a marvelous arena!

So yeah, this is what we've been working on.

It's a tremendous relief to have Sir Mjöllmile with us on this.

I know, right?

If this Founder's Festival ends well,

I'm thinking about making him our nation's chief financial manager.

That's a splendid idea!

No, no, I still have much to learn.

But I promise you that I, Mjöllmile, will work on this with everything I have!

Unbelievable! This is unbelievable!

Even when compared to the luxury lodging in the Engrassia capital...

...this house is far posher!

Thanks for guarding them here, Gobuemon.

Were there any issues on the way here?

Yes, sir. Well...

We were really saved thanks to you sending him to protect us.

Actually...

It was a vicious monster.

Perhaps Viscount Cazac was behind that, as a way to get back at me.

Gobuemon, I want you to continue to guard Mjöllmile for now.

Understood, Lord Rimuru!

Will that be okay, Mjöllmile?

Yes, of course!

In fact, I was thinking of asking that myself!

An attack, huh.

The town's protected by Shuna's barrier,

but perhaps I should enforce the defense at the highway.

Well then, let's hear the progress from each one of you on your projects.

Great Rimuru.

There's one thing I'd like to consult you about.

Hm? What is it, Rigurd?

The representatives from the tribes in the Jura Forest

had already gathered in the town.

They're all here to celebrate your appointment as a Demon Lord,

or perhaps to ascertain the power you wield.

Their goal is to vow their loyalty to you, the Demon Lord, and earn your protection.

But if they find your power to be lacking,

they will immediately turn their fangs on you and start a revolt.

Until now, the Great Forest of Jura

had been protected under Lord Veldora's tremendous power.

But now a new Demon Lord had taken this impregnable territory as his.

I see.

And this Demon Lord is still just an upstart, whose character is a mystery.

Of course they'd feel unnerved.

As such, we're thinking we should hold an audience ceremony.

Audience ceremony?

It looks great on you, Great Rimuru!

The audience ceremony will be held starting this afternoon for three days.

Good luck!

Sir Diablo and Sir Hakuro still weren't back from Falmuth,

but they were very disappointed to miss your glorious moment!

They got to handle Youm's own coronation over there, too, after all.

The old name of "Falmuth" is gone,

and a new nation will be born in its place.

I'm sure there are tons of things they need to do over there.

I'm not the only one suffering right now.

It's a little embarrassing, but I should give it my best.

Yeah, this is embarrassing.

The audience ceremony will now begin!

Oh, Abiru!

It has been so long since we last spoke, Great Rimuru.

It pleases me, er, all of us, greatly

for the momentous occasion you have granted us.

No need for formalities here.

We're all part of the same federation, aren't we?

Keep up the good work.

It is not that simple, Great Rimuru.

There, there. Gabiru is working hard under my leadership.

He's now working as part of my department of development.

Isn't that right, Gabiru?

What?!

Yes, sir!

That stupid kid of mine...

Sir Gabiru!

I'm so glad you earned his forgiveness!

Indeed!

Next is the final group of the day!

Ms. Trya and Ms. Tris?

Long time no see. Doing well?

Great Rimuru.

We have important matters to discuss.

Huh?

Ahhh, Lady Ramiris, you are so ravishing!

As beautiful as always, and so elegant!

The perfect master for us to serve!

Did you hear that? Hey, did you hear that?!

I bet you see me in a new light now, huh, don't you?

Well, Ramiris?

It looks to me all the treants want to serve you, too, not just these two.

But...

How about we have them move into your labyrinth?

Are you sure? In that case, I'll head out as soon as tomorrow!

Expanding this labyrinth was a snap when I borrowed some power from Master,

and I feel like I've gained some power, too.

There are some empty floors left, so maybe we can make a jungle section!

But as creatures who live in the Forest of Jura,

shouldn't they be placed under your ruling, Sir Rimuru?

The labyrinth is within Ramiris's rule.

It's outside of my jurisdiction. It's completely fine.

We, the treants and dryads,

wish to reposition ourselves under the protection of Lady Ramiris.

We know it is selfish of us, but would we be able to receive your permission?

Yeah. You have my permission.

Yay!
