Tch. A mere Ogre mercenary dares to defy me?
All these losses, just for one deserter?
I may be no more than an Ogre mercenary,
but I have a village and precious comrades I must protect.
Stopping now is not an option!
You mean those guys lying around there?
Well?
Oh? You gonna come at me?
Whoa, there!
What? Is that all you've got?
You were more trouble than you're worth.
We're outta here.
Someone... Tell the village...
What would you like to do?
You mustn't move around yet.
Your wounds have not yet healed.
Where am I?
And... who are you?
I am the queen of the Kingdom of Raja.
My name is Towa.
Raja...
Towa?
We found you lying by a stream in the mountains and brought you here.
You were in grave danger.
Do you not remember?
I see.
It seems I am in your debt.
There is no need for thanks...
Hiiro.
Hiiro?
Save... him...
Please...
I grant you...
the name "Hiiro."
Your wounds were severe. We had no way to heal you.
I could only hope giving you a name to evolve you would be enough.
But...
I lacked the life force to give names to all of you.
My comrades... What happened to them?
I thought that if I could just save you...
Please forgive me for being so powerless.
There's nothing you need to apologize for.
Not when you went out of your way to care for them.
I thank you.
I understand now that you saved me.
But as I am now...
Do you intend to return to the Ogre Village?
Huh?
You spoke of it time and time again in your sleep.
You were asleep... for ten whole days.
Wait, Hiiro!
Hey!
Stop!
H-Hey!
I need to borrow this!
I'm sorry!
Come on, this way!
Wait for us!
Wait up!
This way!
Come on!
Hey, hold up!
This is...
what was once such a beautiful village?
I've lost the precious comrades left to me by the village chief,
and now my homeland...
Damned Orcs!
Curse you all!
Forgive me, my queen, but it's been four days.
It seems unlikely he will return.
Clearly, we misjudged him.
He was just a ruffian with no concept of gratitude.
No... Look!
That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime
The Scarlet Bond
Find him?!
No! We've failed!
I can't even sense him!
Where the heck did that old geezer go?!
You called?
Oh—
...noooo!
You still rely too much on your sense of sight.
You're right!
Teach us again!
The indomitable Sir Gabiru!
So tough!
Indeed!
Ow...
Hey, where's Geld?
He's working.
He seemed concerned about how the job was coming along.
That should do it.
Man, he's so serious.
You'd best get serious about your training, as well.
I've received word that Geld is under attack.
No way! Enemies?!
I'll go help him!
We will go, as well!
Right!
I will inform Great Rimuru and our young master.
I sent "Youm the champion" and Diablo out to restore peace in Falmuth...
But was that the best idea?
I hope they don't overdo it.
Great Rimuru!
It's unhealthy to push yourself too hard.
Why don't you take a little break?
Good idea. Thanks, Shuna.
Let's take a breather.
Of course. Here you go.
For you, too, Shion.
Thank you.
I'll gladly have some.
Ah, that's good.
Very relaxing.
Sure is peaceful.
Yes.
I hope it will stay like this for a good, long time.
Well said.
Oh, that's right!
What's up, Shion?
I baked some of those "cookies" that you taught me a recipe for!
Please have them with your tea!
Whoa! Our peace just got shattered!
Go on, dig in!
Guoooogh
Guoooogh
Guoooogh
I-I forgot I was in the middle of my weaving.
If you'll excuse me...
She's running away!
Hold it, Shuna!
I'm sorry, Great Rimuru.
A-An afterimage?!
Come, now, Great Rimuru! Don't be shy!
Guoooogh
Go on! Eat up!
Just because she has the skill Master Chef now...
doesn't mean the food's appearance isn't important!
Please enjoy them, Great Rimuru!
Raphael-san! Got any hints for me?!
Go on! Go on! Go on!
No, I do not.
Harsh...
Guoooogh
Go on, now! Eat up!
H-Hang on, Shion!
I'm sensing something in the direction of the forest!
I should run—I mean, go check it out!
Huh?
Great Rimuru.
Geld is under attack in the forest.
See? I was right!
Off I go!
Wait, he's under attack?!
Damned Orc remnant!
You're targeting Tempest now?!
Are you a spy?!
You bastard!
That horn...
I will avenge my village!
Ogre Flame!
Did you just say "avenge"?
You're from the Ogre—
I don't know who you are, but—
Brother?
It can't be...
You're...
Is that you, Brother?
You're alive?
Young master?
Am I dreaming?
How are you alive?
The village was destroyed!
Yes, but I survived.
I was saved, and even given a name.
I'm called Benimaru now.
This is no dream.
It's too good to be a dream!
Me, too!
Hiiro.
That's my name.
Hiiro...
I see.
You've been named, as well.
Yes!
Could there be a happier coincidence?
How could you protect the Orc that destroyed our village?
It's a long story,
but we've reconciled.
This is Geld.
He's a valuable ally of ours here in Tempest.
An ally?
No. If you say it's true,
then the Orcs are no longer our enemy.
I sincerely apologize for my indiscretion.
No, it is true that we destroyed the Ogre Village.
That can never be forgiven, no matter how many times I apologize.
Captain?
What's going on?
