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

The time has finally come!

I will now introduce you the final event of Day Three of the Founder's Festival!

We are about to show you a small portion of Tempest's proud impregnable dungeon!

There!

This is the ultimate challenge for adventurers, presented by our leader, the Demon Lord Rimuru!

Will anybody out there be able to conquer it?!

This will be one of the centerpieces of our nation's future development.

I'm counting on you guys.

Without further ado, allow me to introduce our challengers!

Our first group is Team Great Lightning led by Basson!

You can try to intimidate us, but we won't fall for that!

Yeah! Basson's right!

You're not forgetting about me, are you?

Don't be that way, Gomez!

They know all about how strong you are.

As long as you and I are together, our Team Great Lightning got nothing to fear!

What's up with those guys?

But oh well, at least they seems fun.

Next on is a group of familiar faces.

The three besties of Eren, Kaval, and Gido!

Are we really doing this?

Of course we are!

We haven't had any real adventures lately, so I've been waiting for this!

Just to be sure, as the leader, I do have the right to say no, right? Right?

Of course you don't!

This is already set in stone!

Eren!

Didn't you say you were going to visit home?!

Quiet.

I didn't expect those three to show up, too.

And our third group need no introduction!

It's the Lightspeed Hero and his party!

Will he carve another legend like in the Battle Tournament?!

Masayuki! Masayuki! Masayuki! Masayuki! Masayuki! Masayuki!

Good. Seems like he was able to convince his friends.

Will they be okay?

I gave him a map for the dungeon.

I'm sure he'll help advertise the dungeon just fine.

Now, let us begin right awa-

Halt!

I'll join in, too.

You've done well trapping me in your silly bluffs, I must say.

Ugh, not that guy again.

The Demon Lord's Big Four or whatever certainly play dirty, do they not?

Scheme all you want, but I'll crush your ambitions for good!

How dare he be so rude towards Great Rimuru. Unforgivable.

I'll get to him and shut his mou-

Don't.

Yes, sir.

Let us now begin!

The progress of each parties will be shown live through these large screens!

The four dryads here are the managers of this dungeon.

This time each one of them will accompany each party to give guidance on the dungeon!

I will now explain the rules!

First, I'm going to give these to everyone!

Please look at the screen.

These are items we're planning to offer for sale when the dungeon is officially open.

This item is called the Resurrection Bracelet.

We highly recommend you purchase this when you enter our dungeon.

Believe it or not, it resurrects you from the dead!

That can't be true!

Impossible!

Please calm down!

This part is important, so please listen properly.

This item only works if you are inside our dungeon.

Please be aware that this doesn't work elsewhere.

You won't die inside the dungeon, you say?

If that's true, then you should show us!

Oh, me?

That's an understandable suggestion, so I'd be happy to.

As expected from Sir Mjöllmile. He did not flinch in a slightest.

He already experienced it before, after all.

Though, he was scared at first, of course.

All right.

See ya!

I will now actually attack Mjöllmile in here-

I won't fall for your trick!

He purposely playing with him!

So mean!

I'll give you the final blow.

And there you have it! I'm back in perfect shape!

It's a miracle!

This bracelet actually also have a pain-reducing effect!

That was a pretty unpleasant role I had him do.

I should thank him with something latter.

Still, that Gaiye bastard...!

The dungeon exploration has finally began!

From here on out is a brand-new world.

What could be awaiting these brave challengers?

Tch, it's the same damn kind of corridor over and over!

Nothing but crossroads!

Weren't we at this intersection before, boss?

Oh come on! At least draw a map or something!

Do these guys always go out without a plan like this?

This is bad news! This dungeon thing is bigger than I thought.

What are you people? Idiots? That Demon Lord's just feeding us a tall tale.

I bet he's using magic or something to disorient us.

I-I see!

You sure knows a lot, Basson!

These guys are no good.

Let's break through this spell right away...

Wh-Whoa! Was that a trapdoor?

Hm?

Did I add trapdoors in Floor 1?

Ramiris?

Yes? What is it, sir?

Well, just wanna ask about the floor I prepared.

You didn't tinker with it without my permission, didn't you?

W-Well, actually, we wanted to make the labyrinth a more complete creation, so...

How many trapdoors did you add?

A-A decent number of them...

Are you serious?! There's no need for trapdoors in the top floors!

The top floors are meant to get people lost and tire them out.

All the trapdoors will just be shortcuts.

But there were more fiendish trapdoors in the lower levels, right?

So I thought perhaps you forgot to install some higher up.

I just did it out of kindness, I swear

I didn't need that type of kindness!

Team Kaval appears to be doing well.

They properly write down stuff as they progress. A textbook example of dungeon exploration.

I believe it's over here.

They already got their third treasure chest!

Oh? They sure are progressing smoothly.

They didn't hit any trapdoors, and they're dodging the traps I set up as well.

Hey, Ramiris.

Wh-What is it, sir?

I have my trust in you, okay?

You won't keep secrets from me, won't you?

Yeah, of course, Rimuru!

So let me ask, did you do something to Eren's group?

W-Well, actually...

Again?

What did you do?

Um, well, Eren gave us a nice little gift, so then...

Good work!

I got you some refreshments.

It's a cake made by Mr. Yoshida!

Wow!

So where are the trapdoors?

Please, tell me about the treasure chests, too!

Oh, you see...

I mean, what could I do?!

I can't resist the allure of cake, and Master Veldora and Milim say it won't be a problem!

You're firing back at me?

It was straight-up bribery.

I didn't know corruption could happen this quickly.

But oh well, she only knows about stuff on Floor 1.

The chests with the real top-shelf prizes weren't on that level.

Team Kaval is doing a good job landing treasure, don't they?

I heard chests can sometimes be found in small side rooms and the like.

But some of them also have traps, so you need to watch out for those as well.

There are three types of treasure chests in all; gold, silver, and bronze.

It seems only the bronze chests run the chance of being booby-trapped.

So the gold chests is what you really want, I suppose?

Yes, apparently, those only show up on floor numbers

that are a multiple of ten- the boss chambers.

What do you mean by that?

As all of you know, Sir Bovix has been appointed the guardian of Floor 50.

Likewise, we have other "boss monsters" positioned

in chambers in front of the exit stairway.

The gold chests are only for those Adventurers who can defeat such formidable foes.

And from those chest...

You can get Rare-level... Rare-level weapons and armor!

It's like a late-night infomercial show.

I'm almost ashamed to be one of those who came up with it.

It worked like a charm, though.

I imagine most people here got to see Bovix's strength for themselves.

I'd love to see those proud of their strength to take up the challenge.

And one more thing, as you can see on the screens, each floor is very large in size.

So if you wanted to conquer the dungeon, be prepared to take several days to do it.

There are only bronze chests on Floor 1.

You didn't mess around with the contents, did you?

All good there!

Then good.

Eren's textbook method still serve as a good advertisement, after all.

By the way, how about Masayuki?

And look at this! Incredible!

Team Lightspeed already made their way to Floor 3!

Living up to their name, Team Lightspeed is making a lightspeed progress!

Why?! It hasn't even been 30 minutes and they're already on Floor 3?!

And look at that! They made use of the trapdoor and got to Floor 4!

Masayuki! Masayuki!

Didn't they laugh at Basson for the same thing just a while ago?
