04x15 - An Unsettling Feeling

[bunniefuu]

What I vaguely recall

is that I might have been
going on a rampage.

I suspect that that was another
personality separated from myself.

So, when the time comes...

Sure, that's fine.

Rest assured.

When the time comes, I promise to
use my power to seal you all away.

Soon after,

she vanished from the spotlight.

For several centuries now,

the Demon Lord Luminus has kept her
sealed away and hidden.

Her fighting style...

...was unparalleled, a true ultimate weapon,
worthy of that title.

The secret treasure
of Demon Lord Luminus.

If it were hidden, it'd probably be...

Come in.

Did you need something,
Lady Luminus?

Hinata.

How's Tempest doing?

What... does that mean?

They signed a non-aggression treaty
with Lubelius.

Agreed to cultural exchanges, too.

And yet...

There haven't been any real cultural
exchanges so far, have there?

Oh...

The hot spring I enjoyed
in that country felt so good.

Sukiyaki, tempura...

And the orchestra's performance at
the Founding Ceremony was wonderful, too...

For what I'm trying to say here...

I believe you already know.

THAT TIME I GOT REINCARNATED
AS A SLIME SEASON 4

EPISODE 87: A SENSE OF FOREBODING
As for the demons Diablo had brought along,

EPISODE 87: A SENSE OF FOREBODING
I left their supervision...

...to three young women who were said
to be Diablo's old acquaintances.

Testarossa,

Ultima,

Carrera.

Since you'll be working in this country,
I'm giving you official positions.

Testarossa, I want you to participate
in the Council as a diplomatic officer

and coordinate the Western nations.

I humbly accept this mandate.

You may run into some frustrating
situations at the Council,

but please don't forget that
you're representing our country.

Rest assured.

Even in the worst-case scenario,

I won't leave any evidence
that I had a hand in it.

Ultima, I'd like you to act
as the Chief Prosecutor

of the Public Prosecutor's Office,
which handles domestic crime.

You'll be working closely with
the security forces, so please do your best.

So, I just have to find someone
even worse than me?

That sounds exciting!

Not... quite in the way
you're interpreting it, actually.

Carrera here will serve as
Chief Justice Officer of the Supreme Court.

I expect you to uphold the law
and handle matters fairly.

My judgment stands fair.

I shall answer my lord's expectations
with all my might!

You'll likely get some resentment
thrown back at you in court,

or maybe some guy
will even try to bribe you...

I will show them all...

...that my judgment grants death justly!

I don't doubt their skills,
but will they be all right...?

Peak.

I'm sure they will be of great help to you,
Master Rimuru.

Hey, you simply didn't want
to do the tasks yourself!

If they screw up,
I guess I'll just leave it to Diablo.

All right, I'll be counting on you three.

Leave it to us!

Now that we've resolved a major problem
that concerned me these past few months,

Tempest has finally been able to...

...take its first step toward becoming
a nation governed by the law.

There's still a whole lot to do,

but it looks like I'll be able to enjoy
some peace of mind for a while.

O-Ouch!

I'd better be careful
not to get arrested, too.

What do you think, Ms. Tiss?
How does the new school building feel?

The teachers are all delighted.

The attending students are also
studying very hard.

The adults are given subjects that
can help their occupations, after all.

We still are short on teachers,

but thanks to the merchants
and Crusaders pitching in,

we're managing just fine.

Hurry up! You'll get caught!

Oh, wait for me!

What about the kids?

They're all getting along well
and learning together.

They're the types that
never run out of energy, though.

Master Rimuru!

Hm?

Long time no see!

Woah!

Could it be... are you Kumara?

Yes, sir!

I see you've been able to
transform into a human form!

That's right, sir!

So I, too, am able to attend school
with everyone else.

I see!

Good luck! Woah!
- Mr. Rimuru!

Oh, Chloe!

You managed to slip past
my detection. Not bad!

How's it been?
Are you having fun at school?

Yeah!

Hm?

Mr. Rimuru!

Didn't know you were visiting us.

I can't believe only Chloe and Kumara
managed to sneak off on their own!

You could've told us if you were visiting.

I can't believe this.
- Ah, sorry, sorry!

But, Mr. Rimuru's busy as well.
- Ah, sorry, sorry!

That's not good enough reason!

EL DORADO
My humble greetings to you,

SPIRAL ROYAL CASTLE - AUDIENCE CHAMBER
Demon Lord Leon Cromwell.

We have come to request that you
interrupt the trade involving...

...the classified goods on this occasion.

What?

A-As Your Majesty is aware,

Demon Lord Rimuru is emerging
in the Western nations.

He is averse to summoning
people from other worlds

and has firmly prohibited it.

Because of his policy, it is difficult
even for us to procure the merchandise,

the children who failed
to become heroes.

Rimuru, huh?

I suppose there's nothing
we can do about that.

But we still have the East, don't we?

As for that, allow me to explain.

Actually, things are looking fishy
in the East as well.

It seems like they've secretly
started preparing for w*r,

so it's become difficult to secure the people
we need for the summoning ritual.

But this doesn't mean
our deal is over.

We'll get in touch once we're
able to perform the ritual again.

Why are you so loose-lipped?

sh*t. Did I screw up?!

Tell me everything you're hiding.

Truly impressive, Demon Lord Leon!

Actually, there's a certain place left
where the children that Shizue Izawa

used to take care of remain.

Shizu...

The thing is, the location
is the problem...

Is it in Tempest?

As expected, you've caught on.

That's why there's nothing
we can do about it.

Those children.

Yes?

What are their names?

Ken Mizaru, Ryozeki,

Gail Gibson, Alison,

Kurobe Hoeru, the total of five children.

Yeah! That's the case, more or less.

Well, you're probably not interested
in the names of products

you can't get your hands on, though.

Is that name accurate?

Hweh?

Are you sure it's Kurobe
and not Chloe?

Someone's gettin' worked up.

We sincerely apologize.
None of those names are accurate.

I see...

N-Now then, we shall take our leave,
Demon Lord Leon.

Should I wipe them out?

Just leave them be.

The w*r is the bigger problem.

If enough people die,
it could summon a troublesome demon.

And we're having a hard time
dealing with Jaune, too.

So, regarding Tempest...

Sir.

I'll dispatch the Blue
Knights to investigate.

I'll leave it to you.

Where on earth are you?

Chloe...

Enough of this!

What's your problem?!

Can you boys stop messing around
and help us clean our classroom?!

Huh? Why do we have to do
some chores?

Ken, I'd caution you against
provoking Alice.

Shut up!

Today, I'm definitely going to beat
Alice and become the true boss!

You better not take that back,
'cause I'll show you just how scary I am!

Kenya's somehow become the class boss.

With Alice as the class representative.

Hey, who do you think will win today?

Of course, it'll be our Queen, Alice!

Kenya's got a crush on Alice.
No way he can win.

Huh?! Really?!

Enough with your nonsense, Gail!

Come on. Kenya likes me?
You guys must be out of your mind.

Perhaps romance is still a bit
- Huh?! Say what now?!

too early for these kids...
- Huh?! Say what now?!

too early for these kids...
- Who cares about that?!

Rather than that...
- Who cares about that?!

Um...

Class, it's about time...

We can't have the class
trouble their teacher.

All right! Enough!

Thanks for helping me, Mr. Rimuru.

Likewise. Thanks for your hard work
in teaching them, Ms. Tiss!

So you were here, Your Majesty?

Oh, it's you, Fritz, Bacchus.

I really can't thank you two enough
for always helping me out.

There's no need for that.

Compared to the Crusaders' training,
what we do here is a walk in the park.

There's even a fight over this job
among the group members.

I mean, we get meals,
and the kids look up to us.

It's day and night from Lady Hinata's
grueling training, you know.

Hey, Fritz!

That's enough!

Am I wrong, though?

Lady Hinata doesn't know
how to hold back,

so anyone would prefer this
over that kind of grueling training...

Well, I must apologize, then.

Ghek! Lady Hinata!

I was holding back
to match your skill level, but...

It seems I was making things
more difficult than necessary, eh.

We're dead...

Yeah...

So, what exactly do you want
by summoning me to school, Hinata?

Sorry for taking up your time.

It's a little awkward here,
so let's head over to the dungeon.

I hope you'll take a look
at how much those kids have grown.

Yeah...

And also...

Ugh!

I'll catch up with you guys later...

M-Ma'am!

A CERTAIN NATION IN THE WEST,
CERBERUS HQ

Looks like it worked out.

I know it was your order, but...

Having to lower my head to someone
who k*lled President Kazalim...

To be honest, it was a tough one.

You have my thanks.

Before leaving the Western nations,
I wanted to organize our work first.

Sorry about this, Misha.

You had to come here
all the way from the East.

As one of the ringleaders of Cerberus.

Tell me about it.

We even just took over
the western base from Damrada, too.

Not only that.

Was it wise to call off the deal between
Cerberus and the Demon Lord Leon?

Knowing where we are now, it's hard
to source certain classified goods.

Not just anyone can get
their hands on some failed heroes.

If we ever need a connection
to the Demon Lord Leon,

we can just propose
resuming negotiations ourselves.

What was your intention
in telling about the kids?

I was just curious to see how he'd react
if I released info about the children.

Depending on how he reacts,

we might be able to figure out
why he's gathering the children, I suppose.

Yep.

Wish ya could've told me
sooner 'bout it!

Was gettin' cold sweats
for bein' sus there!

My bad.

I panicked because Laplace screwed up!

Me too.

Huh?!

Guys, yer terrible!

By the way, back there...

What happened?

Well, I was asked to repeat
the children's names.

Then, when I mentioned
the name Kurobe Hoeru, he said,

"Are you sure it's Kurobe and not Chloe?"

Eh, don't sweat it, Footman.

Blonde guy's just bein' neurotic.

What's your take?

If karma is at work, I suppose I can't
really rule the possibility out.

So that might actually be...

Yes.

Demon Lord Leon's target
might just be the Chloe child.

That's my take.

For real?! We screwed up big time!

Elaborate, please?

If that's the case,
it means we've given up our trump card...

...against the Demon Lord Leon.

Go, Chloe, go!

Avenge us!

Get through Mr. Rimuru at least once!

You kids are getting too strong...

They're definitely stronger than
your run-of-the-mill Holy Knights!

Chloe is especially off the charts.

I might be in danger
if I don't take her seriously.

Can't show them my lame side!

I lost.

You're really strong, Mr. Rimuru!

We'll be in your care!

I know what you mean now.

The kids are getting much stronger.

Yet they are still young.

I wanted you to understand the situation

so that they wouldn't
grow up with any twisted ideas.

Don't worry.

They have a lot of seniors in this town.

They'll make sure to look
after the kids properly...

...so they don't go down the wrong path.

I knew you'd say that.

So, is that why you came here?

No, there's another reason.

Actually, this is the main reason.

Lady Luminus keeps asking
when the musical exchange will be held.

Oh, that?

It seems she really enjoyed
the performance your ensemble did.

I should pay her a visit soon, then.

Mr. Rimuru!

Are you going somewhere
with Sis Hinata?

Yeah, we were talking about
doing a musical exchange in Lubelius.

A musical exchange!

I want to go too!

Same here!

If they're going, I'm going too!

Me too!

I'm going too.

I'd feel uneasy leaving them alone.

Yeah, it's a good opportunity
for a field trip too.

I wanna go too.

Kumara, no need to hold back.

A little whim every now and then
won't hurt.

Let's go together, then.

Yeah!

You really are so doting, huh.

Hang on!

We can use this.

If things go as I imagine,

I might be able to use Chloe to pit
Demon Lord Leon against Rimuru...

Then we can use that job too.

Job?

Yes.

The commission from Granville.

Right,
you went to Granville's place, didn'tcha?

Something happened?

In short, we have one last job
before heading to the East.

I see.

So that's how Mariabell met her demise.

I had a hard time too, you know?

I was made to fight Demon Lord Rimuru
while under her control.

What happened to Demon Lord Rimuru?

Nothing.

He might be suspicious of you,

but I set it up so it looked like
Mariabell did everything by herself.

Please, no hard feelings
for me about this.

Now that humanity's hope
has been crushed,

we must carry out our revenge...

...using the treasure that
Lady Luminus is hiding.

Lady Luminus? Treasure?

I don't know what you're talking about,

but please, leave me out
of the picture from now on.

You're aware of it too, aren't you?

Of what?

That the god worshiped by the Luminism
is the Demon Lord Luminus,

and that I am the leader
of the Seven Days Clergy.

Huh... So you're admitting it.

I had a hunch that you might be
with the Seven Days Clergy.

So? What's your plot here
for telling me this?

I am not plotting anything.

Now that we have lost Mariabell,

you are the only one we can entrust
with the future of the Western nations

and of humanity itself.

Rimuru will do something about it.

The current Council is
practically his now.

Your wisdom is only as much
as your young age, I see.

The Demon Lord Rimuru
is an unforgivable existence.

Yuuki, I am not saying
you should trust me.

But why don't we join forces,
just for this moment?

What's in it for me?

I shall entrust the treasure that
Lady Luminus hides to you.

That's an intriguing offer,

but I'm not as benevolent
as to believe that.

I will make the first move.

You should just assess
the situation and act accordingly.

What's in it for you to
go that far, anyway?

Isn't Demon Lord Luminus your master?

I have already been cast aside.

Besides, Lady Luminus is trying to form
an alliance with the Demon Lord Rimuru.

Therefore, Demon Lord Luminus
is but a mere enemy to me.

Huh...

I thought you were just
a withering old man.

If you really insist, I guess it won't hurt
to venture once more.

This will likely be our temporary
and final alliance,

but I am counting on you.

So, where's Demon Lord
Luminus' treasure?

The treasure...

It's in Demon Lord Luminus' castle.

So that means...

Yeah.

The b*ttlefield will be in Lubelius.

Will Rimuru really be k*lled?

Everything is changing.

I want to hug you soon...

Next time: Gran, the Dawn Chosen Hero.
