02x05 - (D) Prelude to the Disaster
Posted: 04/27/23 10:58
[grunts]
Good, you're alive.
[YOUM]
Sure am. In your lap.
The master's beating
was worth it to end up here.
[MYULAN] Words of a fool.
You're only a mere human, Youm.
Your reckless actions
could k*ll you.
Heh. You say that
as if you're not
a "mere human" yourself, Myulan.
[MYULAN gasps]
This is a comfy pillow.
Makes me wish I could wake up
like this every morning.
--[MYULAN grunts] Idiot.
--Ouch!
[MYULAN] You're obviously
well enough for dumb jokes,
so you can get off me.
We should return to town anyway.
We promised to practice magic.
We don't want to keep Rommel
and the others waiting, do we?
[YOUM]
Enough with the pushing.
Just so you know,
it wasn't a joke.
[MYULAN gasps]
It wasn't...?
[MYULAN]
But... The Demon Lord Clayman
completely controls my heart.
I'm his puppet--
nothing more.
[MYULAN]
It's true. You are a fool.
[GIRL A] Lord Rimuru should
be returning any day now!
[WOMAN A] We'll have to be
sure to give him a big welcome.
Wow. The quality's amazing.
[KIDS laughing]
Huh? Hey, you kids
be more careful!
If you don't watch where
you're going, you'll get hurt!
[LIZARDMAN H] Well,
at least if they do skin a knee,
we can heal them with
the high potions we made.
[LIZARDMAN F]
Hmm? Hi there, Myulan!
Are you doing well today?
[MYULAN]
Yes, thanks.
Sure is nice out, huh?
[MYULAN]
Hmm?
Why'd you stop,
is there something wrong?
[LIZARDMAN G] Hmm... It's
nothing, sorry to hold you up.
[YOUM]
Bring it on, Grucius!
Is that all you've got?
[GRUCIUS grunting]
Not bad. If you
keep up this pace,
I might actually break a sweat!
Ha, ha! Good to know!
--Show 'em who's boss, Boss!
--You've got this, Youm!
--We're counting on you!
--Don't let him get another hit!
[KAJIR]
Yeah! Just like that!
[ROMMEL]
Nice block!
[KAJIR]
Close one!
--On your left!
--[ROMMEL] Watch your back!
[CLAYMAN] I haven't heard
from you in a while, Myulan.
Are things going well?
[MYULAN]
Yes. They are, Lord Clayman.
I wasn't expecting
you to contact me.
[CLAYMAN] Excellent,
things are going well here, too.
Thanks to the information
you gave me.
In fact, I'm so pleased with
the current state of things
that I might even be willing
to return your heart to you.
[MYULAN]
Wait, does that mean...
...that you have
no further need for me?
[laughs]
I do love your sense of humor.
No, there is still a way
you can make yourself useful.
A new task that
only you can carry out.
You wouldn't dare refuse me,
would you, Myulan?
I know you don't wish to die,
and it would be such a shame
if anything bad were to
happen to the man you love.
[MYULAN gasps] I-I don't know
what you're talking about.
[CLAYMAN]
Hmph. Yes, I'm sure.
Still, though.
It would be wise
not to underestimate me.
If you truly care about your
best interests--and his--
you'll listen closely.
Continue to lay low.
Your new orders will come soon.
Once it's all over,
I shall set you free.
You might even get to
be with the man you love
outside of your dreams.
Is that true...?
[CLAYMAN]
I almost feel sorry for her.
[laughs]
[MYULAN]
Is this a trap?
Of course it is.
[MYULAN]
But, if it means...
[MYULAN] ...that my dream
could come true...
[MYULAN] ...then I will sell
my soul and become a demon.
A group of fully
armed humans, you say?
They're knights from
the Kingdom of Falmuth.
Heading for Tempest.
[SOUEI] It looks like
they are strong.
While their objective is
unclear, it would appear
as though Falmuth is preparing
for some kind of battle.
[BENIMARU] Hmm. I doubt
they have noble intentions.
Yes, I agree. And Lord Rimuru?
He should be returning soon.
Perhaps we shouldn't wait.
It might be best to contact him
as a safety measure.
[BENIMARU]
Right.
[ALBIS]
Please respond.
[garbled]
Hello, is anyone--
...a Beastketeer from the
Aninmal Kingdom of Eurazania,
Albis, the Golden Serpent.
Lady Albis?
We can hear you. What is it?
[ALBIS garbled]
I have a request.
We need your country to take
in the people of our kingdom
as possible refugees.
Refugees? What happened?
[ALBIS]
In exactly one week from today,
Eurazania goes to w*r.
Excuse me?
Which nation?
[ALBIS]
Not with a nation.
A person.
The Demon Lord Milim.
[gasping]
What? For what reason, though?
[ALBIS garbled]
...help shelter--
I'm beg--
[GROUP sighing]
[SHOGO]
Hey. What the hell is this crap?
[SHOGO] This city is
even more developed than
that total trash pile, Falmuth!
Damn, this doesn't
make any sense!
Why are a bunch of stupid
monsters living better than
the three of us?
It's just plain criminal!
Why do they get to live
in luxury while we suffer?
Ugh, it makes me wanna hurl.
Now, now, calm down, guys.
Still though. You're both right.
[KYOYA]
It does seem rather unfair.
Well, if their leader's a slime,
then we just gotta squash
the dumb thing, and the city
would be ours for the taking.
Great idea, Shogo!
You know I'm down!
I don't know, we probably
shouldn't take matters
into our own hands.
Nah, it'll be fine.
Besides, we were sent here
to stir up some trouble,
am I right?
We're just following orders.
Exactly.
We want it on record that these
mean ol' monsters att*cked
us poor, innocent citizens.
Fair enough. I suppose
that's in line
with what Lord Razen
wanted from us.
Ugh. You can drop that
"Lord" Razen bull crap.
Yeah, for real.
Lord Old Man Farts
would be better off dead.
At least that way we'd all
finally be free again.
[laughs]
I guess it's just a habit.
It would be bad if our true
feelings were to slip out
while he was around.
More importantly...
...let's get this thing started!
[KIRARA shrieks]
[gasping]
[GOBZO whimpers]
[KIRARA]
You jerk!
You just touched
my butt, didn't you?
I can't believe you'd
as*ault me out in the open!
Hold on, I didn't
do anything like that!
Please! Your dopey little act
isn't fooling anyone,
Hob-blob-lin! So why don't
you just come clean
already and tell everyone
why you assaulted me?
Out with it!
[yells]
[grunts]
That hurt!
[MAN A]
You see that?
That Hobgoblin just
att*cked the poor woman!
[MAN B]
Seriously?
Isn't he one of
the city's guards?
How scary.
Here, I thought the monsters
in Tempest were friendly.
Once a monster,
always a monster.
[SHOGO] Kirara's unique skill
really is terrifying.
[KYOYA]
Yep. Her "Bewilder" ability
works on any target's
consciousness.
Forcing them to believe Kirara
and do whatever she demands.
[chuckles]
[SHOGO]
What is this crap?
Do all your visitors get
att*cked in this town?
I get it, now that they
have our business,
they're not bothering
to hide their true colors.
[MAN C] The goblin does
look kind of suspicious, huh?
Yeah, he definitely did it.
[MAN D] Quick, someone
call the city guards!
[GOBZO] No, this is a mistake!
I didn't do anything, I swear!
[SHOGO] What Falmuth
wants is a valid reason
to invade this rancid country.
Something like a monster
attacking an innocent traveler.
If that derpy looking freak
gets mad and tries
to defend himself,
it'll be exactly what we need.
[GOBTA]
What's all the commotion about?
Huh?
[GOBTA]
There a problem, Gobzo?
[GOBZO]
Oh, thank goodness!
[GOBTA] You sure do have a knack
for getting into trouble, huh?
[GOBTA] We apologize.
I'll make sure he's punished.
[GOBZO]
But, sir... I didn't do it.
[GOBTA]
I know you didn't.
It doesn't make
any difference, though.
There's nothing we can
do about their claims.
Wait a minute, are you saying
you actually believe me, Gobta?
Aw, c'mon now, I'm surprised
you even have to ask.
[GOBZO]
I'll follow you forever, sir!
Cut it out, Gobzo,
you're making a scene!
Whoa, hold on for a second!
Are you trying to suggest
that I'm just making
the whole thing up?
Uh. I mean, it's pretty
obvious you are.
Ah! Oh, wow, you've got some
nerve for a pathetic Goblin!
How dare you try to make
a liar out of me!
You weren't even
here when it happened,
so why do you believe
that stupid gremlin?!
Simple, in this country,
we trust our friends.
Oh, get real! That's the lamest
BS I've ever heard in my life!
Sorry, lady, the truth is Gobzo
only has eyes for Shion.
--Ah?!
--She's got a huge...
...personality.
It's great. Seriously,
there's no way
he'd be interested
in someone as plain as you.
[KIRARA whimpers]
Shut up, Gobta, that's
supposed to be a secret!
How is it a secret
when everybody
already knows about it?
[GOBZO]
E-Everybody...?
Oh, yeah, pretty much all
of Tempest knows
you've got a thing for Shion.
[GOBZO]
I was gonna follow you forever,
but now I take it back,
you loudmouth!
[CROWD laughing]
[KIRARA growls]
Stop laughing, you idiots!
I'll teach you
to underestimate me!
Why don't you all just...
[BOTH]
Hmm?
...curl up and die!
[gasping]
Hoo boy.
Classic Kirara.
Show time.
[gasping]
[CROWD laughing]
What the hell, why aren't
any of them dying?
That's how it is.
[KIRARA]
Huh?
[SHUNA] You have a skill
that converts your voice into
a stream of force,
which then interferes with
your target's brain waves.
It's a truly dreadful ability,
so I'm sure you'll understand
its use is forbidden
in this land.
[KIRARA]
Impossible.
This girl somehow managed to
cancel out my Bewilder power!
[gasps]
[SHUNA] Unfortunately,
you're not a suitable fit
for our nation. I'd like
your group to take its leave.
What...? Are you serious...?
[KIRARA]
She's a real beast.
[SHOGO] Oh, really?
So that's how it's gonna be?
Whatever.
If that's what you want,
then I'll be happy
to take you on for real.
[SHOGO]
I'll make this girl my sl*ve.
I'll t*rture her until
she begs me for forgiveness.
--[slurps]
--[SHION] Disgusting.
Your filthy thoughts are
written all over your face.
If you quietly leave our city
right now, I'll overlook this.
If you refuse...
...then you leave me
with no choice.
That sounds like fun!
I'm gonna mop the floor
with you, sweetheart!
[gasping]
So be it. If nothing else,
perhaps a good beating will
knock some sense into you.
Let's do this.
I haven't got all day.
[whistles]
Huh. In that case...
...guess I'll join
the party, too.
Seems this is the perfect
opportunity to test out
my various abilities.
[chuckles] And now that
there's no oversight,
I can finally use my Severer
skill without any limitations.
This could be bad.
Listen carefully, Gobzo, I want
you to keep Princess Shuna safe.
Right! I'm on it, sir!
[KYOYA]
Huh.
[laughs maniacally] With my
power, not even that crone
Hinata could take me on and win.
I doubt a wimp like you
will fair any better!
[SHOGO bellows]
[MYULAN]
Great magic?
[CLAYMAN]
Yes. You will turn
the Capital city into
an anti-magic area.
Our aim is to cut off
their communications with
the outside world.
You are to get started at once.
This will be your final job.
Hmph. Things are
getting rather interesting!
A grand w*r is going
to break out!
Though unexpected
events have led to
some surprising developments.
The game continues.
[GRUCIUS]
Where are you going?
[MYULAN gasps]
Do you need something?
A Crimuru puff.
Sorry, I don't follow.
[GRUCIUS] It's a new pastry
they're making.
They're serving some
in the dining hall.
I heard they're pretty good,
if you wanna go with me.
[MYULAN]
I appreciate the offer,
but I just received
one yesterday.
[GRUCIUS]
Was it from Youm?
Uh. Yes?
Ugh. Sneaky rat.
Always one step ahead.
Sorry, I have things to do--
I'll see you later, though!
Wait.
Can I really see you later?
I just got a message,
and honestly,
it didn't sit well with me.
Demon Lord Milim has declared
w*r on the Beast Kingdom.
And all I could think was
that it seemed ridiculous.
But then I realized you've been
acting kinda weird lately,
so I couldn't help
but wonder about you.
[MYULAN] This is why Clayman
was in such a hurry.
I guess he wasn't expecting
the Demon Lord Milim
to act on her own.
I'm sorry, I need to go!
Myulan!
[MYULAN] I don't understand,
what is the purpose of
cutting off this country's
communications?
Of course. Rimuru Tempest.
He's afraid that slime
will hear about it
and try to intervene somehow.
Stop, Myulan!
[MYULAN] I have to activate
the magic he ordered me
to use immediately!
Otherwise, Clayman is
likely to fly into a rage--
a tantrum that will
k*ll not only me,
but everyone in this city!
[GRUCIUS]
Hey!
If the Demon Lord Milim
has truly declared w*r,
then isn't your
master in danger?
Huh? You say that as though you
are familiar with her power.
[GRUCIUS] Don't worry.
Lord Carrion is invincible.
It's inconceivable
that he could lose.
The only person I'm concerned
about right now is you!
I know you're a majin, Myulan.
[sighs] You've always
been sharp when it comes
to things like this.
So, then--
[MYULAN]
I don't have a choice, Grucius.
I want you to know
that I care about you.
I consider you a dear friend.
[GRUCIUS sighs]
[MYULAN] With that said,
if you insist on interfering...
[GRUCIUS grunts]
[MYULAN]
...I will have to k*ll you.
[GRUCIUS] Your face...
That determination.
You're actually prepared to die.
Why, though? Tell me!
[GRUCIUS] Are you following
an order from your master?
You are! You have to be!
Say something!
[MYULAN whimpers]
The Demon Lord Clayman
is infamous for using people
and then discarding
them like garbage.
--Is it him?
--Enough, Grucius!
You don't know anything!
It's all because of him, right?
You're prepared
to die fulfilling
that lowlife's orders.
[YOUM]
Is that so?
[gasps]
[YOUM]
How interesting.
[MYULAN]
Youm...
Myulan, if something's
going on, you can tell me.
I'll protect you.
Are you crazy?
Can you not see what's
standing in front of you?
I'm a majin for crying out loud!
Okay, and why does that matter?
A person's race and
species doesn't determine
their overall character
or worth in this world.
I realized that when I met
the slime that runs this place.
Talk about a major life lesson.
[gasps]
I love you, Myulan. Truly.
[gasps]
Isn't it natural to want
to protect the people
that you cherish in life?
[MYULAN whimpers]
You're a fool!
The Myulan you've known all
this time was just a pretense
to deceive you!
The person that you think you
love doesn't even really exist!
Listen carefully.
[YOUM] I'll let you fool me
until the day I die.
[YOUM] As long as I believe
it until the very end,
it's no different
from the truth.
[MYULAN]
Let me go.
Oh. Sorry.
You just took advantage of the
moment to hug her, you creep!
Yep, guilty. I honestly thought
I could get away with it.
Well, I say you can't!
Why are you so invested
in what I do?
[GRUCIUS] Because you're always
beating me to the punch!
[YOUM]
Weren't you the one that said...
Thank you, Youm. I'm ready.
[GRUCIUS, YOUM grunting]
Stop it, Myulan!
Don't do it!
[MYULAN] I'm sorry,
but if it will keep you safe...
[MYULAN]
...I have no choice.
Activate Prison Field!
[gasps]
There are two barriers?
But why?
[gasps]
What's the matter, Benimaru?
I can't connect
with Lord Rimuru.
There is something interfering.
[RIGURD gasps]
Lord Rimuru...
[SHION grunts]
How disappointing.
You talked such a big game
I hoped you might actually
be a challenge.
[SHOGO growls] Damn,
your kicking game is no joke.
[SHION gasps]
What is this...?
My strength is
leaving my body...
--[SHOGO laughs]
--[gasps]
Tch. You doing okay
over there, lady?
You seem to be
having some difficulty.
[GREAT SAGE] Next time,
"The Beauty Makes Her Move."
Good, you're alive.
[YOUM]
Sure am. In your lap.
The master's beating
was worth it to end up here.
[MYULAN] Words of a fool.

[GOBTA] We apologize.
I'll make sure he's punished.
[GOBZO]
But, sir... I didn't do it.
[GOBTA]
I know you didn't.
It doesn't make
any difference, though.
There's nothing we can
do about their claims.
Wait a minute, are you saying
you actually believe me, Gobta?
Aw, c'mon now, I'm surprised
you even have to ask.
[GOBZO]
I'll follow you forever, sir!
Cut it out, Gobzo,
you're making a scene!
Whoa, hold on for a second!
Are you trying to suggest
that I'm just making
the whole thing up?
Uh. I mean, it's pretty
obvious you are.
Ah! Oh, wow, you've got some
nerve for a pathetic Goblin!
How dare you try to make
a liar out of me!
You weren't even
here when it happened,
so why do you believe
that stupid gremlin?!
Simple, in this country,
we trust our friends.
Oh, get real! That's the lamest
BS I've ever heard in my life!
Sorry, lady, the truth is Gobzo
only has eyes for Shion.
--Ah?!
--She's got a huge...
...personality.
It's great. Seriously,
there's no way
he'd be interested
in someone as plain as you.
[KIRARA whimpers]
Shut up, Gobta, that's
supposed to be a secret!
How is it a secret
when everybody
already knows about it?
[GOBZO]
E-Everybody...?
Oh, yeah, pretty much all
of Tempest knows
you've got a thing for Shion.
[GOBZO]
I was gonna follow you forever,
but now I take it back,
you loudmouth!
[CROWD laughing]
[KIRARA growls]
Stop laughing, you idiots!
I'll teach you
to underestimate me!
Why don't you all just...
[BOTH]
Hmm?
...curl up and die!
[gasping]
Hoo boy.
Classic Kirara.
Show time.
[gasping]
[CROWD laughing]
What the hell, why aren't
any of them dying?
That's how it is.
[KIRARA]
Huh?
[SHUNA] You have a skill
that converts your voice into
a stream of force,
which then interferes with
your target's brain waves.
It's a truly dreadful ability,
so I'm sure you'll understand
its use is forbidden
in this land.
[KIRARA]
Impossible.
This girl somehow managed to
cancel out my Bewilder power!
[gasps]
[SHUNA] Unfortunately,
you're not a suitable fit
for our nation. I'd like
your group to take its leave.
What...? Are you serious...?
[KIRARA]
She's a real beast.
[SHOGO] Oh, really?
So that's how it's gonna be?
Whatever.
If that's what you want,
then I'll be happy
to take you on for real.
[SHOGO]
I'll make this girl my sl*ve.
I'll t*rture her until
she begs me for forgiveness.
--[slurps]
--[SHION] Disgusting.
Your filthy thoughts are
written all over your face.
If you quietly leave our city
right now, I'll overlook this.
If you refuse...
...then you leave me
with no choice.
That sounds like fun!
I'm gonna mop the floor
with you, sweetheart!
[gasping]
So be it. If nothing else,
perhaps a good beating will
knock some sense into you.
Let's do this.
I haven't got all day.
[whistles]
Huh. In that case...
...guess I'll join
the party, too.
Seems this is the perfect
opportunity to test out
my various abilities.
[chuckles] And now that
there's no oversight,
I can finally use my Severer
skill without any limitations.
This could be bad.
Listen carefully, Gobzo, I want
you to keep Princess Shuna safe.
Right! I'm on it, sir!
[KYOYA]
Huh.
[laughs maniacally] With my
power, not even that crone
Hinata could take me on and win.
I doubt a wimp like you
will fair any better!
[SHOGO bellows]
[MYULAN]
Great magic?
[CLAYMAN]
Yes. You will turn
the Capital city into
an anti-magic area.
Our aim is to cut off
their communications with
the outside world.
You are to get started at once.
This will be your final job.
Hmph. Things are
getting rather interesting!
A grand w*r is going
to break out!
Though unexpected
events have led to
some surprising developments.
The game continues.
[GRUCIUS]
Where are you going?
[MYULAN gasps]
Do you need something?
A Crimuru puff.
Sorry, I don't follow.
[GRUCIUS] It's a new pastry
they're making.
They're serving some
in the dining hall.
I heard they're pretty good,
if you wanna go with me.
[MYULAN]
I appreciate the offer,
but I just received
one yesterday.
[GRUCIUS]
Was it from Youm?
Uh. Yes?
Ugh. Sneaky rat.
Always one step ahead.
Sorry, I have things to do--
I'll see you later, though!
Wait.
Can I really see you later?
I just got a message,
and honestly,
it didn't sit well with me.
Demon Lord Milim has declared
w*r on the Beast Kingdom.
And all I could think was
that it seemed ridiculous.
But then I realized you've been
acting kinda weird lately,
so I couldn't help
but wonder about you.
[MYULAN] This is why Clayman
was in such a hurry.
I guess he wasn't expecting
the Demon Lord Milim
to act on her own.
I'm sorry, I need to go!
Myulan!
[MYULAN] I don't understand,
what is the purpose of
cutting off this country's
communications?
Of course. Rimuru Tempest.
He's afraid that slime
will hear about it
and try to intervene somehow.
Stop, Myulan!
[MYULAN] I have to activate
the magic he ordered me
to use immediately!
Otherwise, Clayman is
likely to fly into a rage--
a tantrum that will
k*ll not only me,
but everyone in this city!
[GRUCIUS]
Hey!
If the Demon Lord Milim
has truly declared w*r,
then isn't your
master in danger?
Huh? You say that as though you
are familiar with her power.
[GRUCIUS] Don't worry.
Lord Carrion is invincible.
It's inconceivable
that he could lose.
The only person I'm concerned
about right now is you!
I know you're a majin, Myulan.
[sighs] You've always
been sharp when it comes
to things like this.
So, then--
[MYULAN]
I don't have a choice, Grucius.
I want you to know
that I care about you.
I consider you a dear friend.
[GRUCIUS sighs]
[MYULAN] With that said,
if you insist on interfering...
[GRUCIUS grunts]
[MYULAN]
...I will have to k*ll you.
[GRUCIUS] Your face...
That determination.
You're actually prepared to die.
Why, though? Tell me!
[GRUCIUS] Are you following
an order from your master?
You are! You have to be!
Say something!
[MYULAN whimpers]
The Demon Lord Clayman
is infamous for using people
and then discarding
them like garbage.
--Is it him?
--Enough, Grucius!
You don't know anything!
It's all because of him, right?
You're prepared
to die fulfilling
that lowlife's orders.
[YOUM]
Is that so?
[gasps]
[YOUM]
How interesting.
[MYULAN]
Youm...
Myulan, if something's
going on, you can tell me.
I'll protect you.
Are you crazy?
Can you not see what's
standing in front of you?
I'm a majin for crying out loud!
Okay, and why does that matter?
A person's race and
species doesn't determine
their overall character
or worth in this world.
I realized that when I met
the slime that runs this place.
Talk about a major life lesson.
[gasps]
I love you, Myulan. Truly.
[gasps]
Isn't it natural to want
to protect the people
that you cherish in life?
[MYULAN whimpers]
You're a fool!
The Myulan you've known all
this time was just a pretense
to deceive you!
The person that you think you
love doesn't even really exist!
Listen carefully.
[YOUM] I'll let you fool me
until the day I die.
[YOUM] As long as I believe
it until the very end,
it's no different
from the truth.
[MYULAN]
Let me go.
Oh. Sorry.
You just took advantage of the
moment to hug her, you creep!
Yep, guilty. I honestly thought
I could get away with it.
Well, I say you can't!
Why are you so invested
in what I do?
[GRUCIUS] Because you're always
beating me to the punch!
[YOUM]
Weren't you the one that said...
Thank you, Youm. I'm ready.
[GRUCIUS, YOUM grunting]
Stop it, Myulan!
Don't do it!
[MYULAN] I'm sorry,
but if it will keep you safe...
[MYULAN]
...I have no choice.
Activate Prison Field!
[gasps]
There are two barriers?
But why?
[gasps]
What's the matter, Benimaru?
I can't connect
with Lord Rimuru.
There is something interfering.
[RIGURD gasps]
Lord Rimuru...
[SHION grunts]
How disappointing.
You talked such a big game
I hoped you might actually
be a challenge.
[SHOGO growls] Damn,
your kicking game is no joke.
[SHION gasps]
What is this...?
My strength is
leaving my body...
--[SHOGO laughs]
--[gasps]
Tch. You doing okay
over there, lady?
You seem to be
having some difficulty.
[GREAT SAGE] Next time,
"The Beauty Makes Her Move."
