Surpass a fiction that nobody knows..

That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime

When you look up at the sky, hope widens.

Paralyzed by the dream that is very far away.

I've already experienced despair.

The shape of your wish and the voice with which you'll etch it.

Let if fly, fly, Fly High!

At the other side of the fiction that nobody knows,

My impulse grows slowly.

If everything that I feel right now is real,

Then, this will become my proof someday!

Let's go name every single one of these to you.

Let's go!

Great Rimuru, it's time for your inspection of the construction site.

I will take you there.

This again?

Rimuru was troubled.

He was troubled because Shion and Shuna were fighting over him yet again.

Extra: The Tragedy of M?

Well, this slime body does feel really nice to hug...

Even I hug a body double of myself sometimes.

A body double! Why don't I give them each a body double of me?!

Nah, maybe not.

If I do that...

I want one!

Give me one, too!

Great Rimuru!

Master!

One for me, please!

It'd be a bigger death match than when I was naming them!

I need some kind of stand-in for my slime body.

A wood-carved slime!

A slime sculpture!

A metal slime made of metal!

No, those aren't right.

There's no point if it doesn't have the same feel as my body.

Right... Something like...

Oh!

So depraved...

One of those cushions that makes living beings sink into depravity!

That might feel pretty close to the same thing.

Beanbag cushions in my image! I'll call them Rimuru cushions!

That sounds adorable!

Like the first prize in a lottery!

And the biggest one would go to whoever drew the very last lot!

Uh, could you guys let go for a second?

O-Of course.

I have a favor to ask of you, Shuna.

Of course. Ask me for anything you'd like.

There's something I want to make.

She probably wouldn't understand if I said "stretchy material"...

Um, is there... some kind of cloth that's, like, really smooth and stretchy?

Smooth and stretchy?

Yeah, she doesn't get it.

Do you mean something like Spandex?

You know what that is?!

It was just sort of... a hunch, I guess.

Women's intuition?! Shuna, you scare me!

That's easy. Just leave it to me, Great Rimuru.

O-Okay...

So the next thing is the stuffing.

Poly... beads?

What are those?

Um... They're beads that are so tiny, they're like powder.

And what are "beads"?

Um... They're made out of styrofoam...

Styro...foam?

Styrofoam is, like... basically...

Notice

A polystyrene product made by expanding beads with steam.

Polystyrene is a type of plastic

It is a polymerized styrene—

Yeah, explaining it won't help!

Is there anything with small grains, like sand, and a smooth surface?

Well, there's something called "sarasa" that might come close.

Sarasa?

There's a big lake deep in the forest.

I've heard it's the type of sand found on a sandbar there.

It's ground naturally,

so I'd say it's just about as smooth as you are.

Well, that's perfect! I'll go get some right now!

Some sarasa?

I dunno what you plan to do with it, but I wouldn't go there.

Why not?

There's a monster living in that lake.

Wow!

Once it grabs your foot, it's all over.

It'll drag you right under...

Or so the rumors say.

Of course, to you,

any monster is a pushover, so I'm probably worried over nothing!

Y-Yeah...

What the hell? That's super scary.

Well, at any rate...

I doubt anything around here would try to attack us.

Still, I'd be lonely if I went by myself, so...

We're going to collect some sarasa!

And let's all have a picnic while we're there!

A picnic sounds great!

You can count on us to search near the water!

Indeed!

That's our Sir Gabiru!

So cool!

Gabiru! Gabiru! Gabiru!

I wish they'd shut up...

We get to go on an outing with Great Rimuru! I'm so happy!

I'll gladly go to the ends of the earth with you, Master!

I told you, we're just going to a lake...

What are you going to make with the sarasa?

Y-You'll find out when it's finished!

I can't tell the person this gift is for what it's going to be.

But...

I guess I can tell the boys. I doubt they're interested in cushions.

Rigurd would probably want one, though, so he can stay in the dark.

Please allow us to assist you!

You're awfully gung-ho about this, Benimaru...

Naturally!

If Shion has a cushion resembling you, she'll take very good care of it.

She'll keep it with her at all times and avoid getting it dirty...

Which means she won't go near the kitchen anymore!

I see your point.

This is an important mission.

Agreed.

To be honest, I never thought of that.

I guess these guys have known the terror of Shion's cooking for a long time.

I shall accompany you, as well, Great Rimuru.

M-Master...

You, too, Hakurou?

And so began our picnic that promised to be great fun in many ways.

This is sort of eerie.

A monster living in the lake, huh?

I hope it's just a rumor, but what if it's true?

It's beautiful!

It's lovely!

Looks like this is the lake Garm was talking about.

Which means the sarasa should be...

Right there, I guess?

I had imagined this lake being a lot more creepy,

but it's a really nice place!

Okay, before we look for sarasa, we eat!

Let's have lunch!

Okay!

Well, this looks great!

Brother! Those rolled omelets are for Master Souei!

Yum!

Great Rimuru!

Here's your lunch!

My lunch?!

You didn't stop her?!

Well, we said we'd all be responsible for our own food!

This has nothing to do with me.

I made this, but...

But?

It seems this container isn't strong enough.

The bottom is falling out...

I guess it's not big enough to hold all of my feelings toward you!

W-Well, if it won't fit, there's nothing we can do about it...

So...

I made this instead.

It's a rice ball!

That's a new type of monster or something!

Please, help yourself!

Gobichi taught me the secret to cooking.

S-Secrets?

Yes! He taught me that the most important ingredient is love!

So this rice ball is packed with my love!

Guoooogh

I knew it!

Go on, Great Rimuru!

Guoooogh

Stop that rice ball!

The rice ball Shion made!

I shall stop—

Guoooogh

Never mind! Not happening!

Guoooogh

You're so cool!

Naturally!

One hundred points for Sir Gabiru!

Gabiru! Gabiru! Gabiru!

Sir Gabiru is dead...

Well, that's no surprise.

His peaceful face looks so cool.

I'm so sorry about your lunch, Great Rimuru!

No, it's fine! I don't need to eat, anyway!

It's okay, it's okay!

More importantly, you guys should get ready to go into the lake now.

Let's get some sarasa!

"Getting ready" meant changing into swimsuits.

The Dwarves made swimsuits out of Spandex for everyone.

Great Rimuru, what do you think?

This is a little embarrassing...

Garm and his brothers made them based on my designs.

And they did fine work! Garm and his brothers forever!

They all look great.

And...

Why do you guys have them, too?!

Hey!

Oh, my God! Ranga looks so cute!

Garm said he made a swimsuit for you, too.

For me?

Rimuru

Here it is!

A school swimsuit?!

No way! No way! That is absolutely not happening!

Garm! You and your bastard brothers!

Well, this isn't so bad...

Then, shall we go now, Great Rimuru?

Yeah. Okay, guys—

Wait just a minute!

Milim?!

You're so mean! Why didn't you invite me on your picnic?!

Aren't we friends?!

Oh... sorry.

I can't tell her that I knew she'd make trouble if I invited her...

Uh... Sorry. I figured you were too busy.

Even if I'm busy, I'd drop everything to be with my bestie when they ask!

So, what were you about to do?

We were gonna swim out to that sandbar...

You're swimming, huh? Then, I'll swim, too!

But you don't have a swimsuit, do you?

I don't need one!

Stop! Stop! Stop!

Don't you dare!

There's no need to shout.

Watch.

What's that?

My swimsuit!

Notice.

The design is the same, but the material is different.

Well, I guess that's a relief... but also sort of not...

Okay, everyone, if Garm was right, the sarasa's on that sandbar.

There are also rumors of a monster here,

so everyone be careful!

Okay!

Monsters can come at us all they want!

Hey! No matter what shows up, you're not allowed to do anything!

You'll blow this entire area off the map! Promise, all right?

Got it!

It feels so nice and cool!

It does feel great!

It reminds me of our homeland.

I don't sense any significant presences.

This rumor about a monster

may have just been an exaggerated rumor about someone whose foot got caught.

I hope so, but it never hurts to be careful...

Great Rimuru!

My foot's caught in algae or something!

N-No! What is this?!

G-Great Rimuru!

Shuna! Shion!

Why, you...

Th-This is absolutely shameful!

Shameful!

Oh, dear!

Water Blade!

Great Rimuru's slash attack didn't work?!

So this is...

our monster, huh?

Hey! Can you hear me?

You're making things difficult for everyone up there! Could you stop?

It's pretty haphazard.

It doesn't seem like an attack...

More like it's suffering.

But what happened to it?

Guoooogh

It tried to eat this?!

And that made it go berserk and lash out!

We don't see many monsters like this.

Hang on! I'll get you feeling better in no time!

It's not...

...moving anymore.

Did Great Rimuru...

There. You're all better now.

Is it looking for me?

Hey, could it be that you can't see anything?

Okay, just do what I say!

I have this skill called Magic Sense.

Living in a place like this all alone,

and completely blind on top of that...

I know how you feel. I was the same, at first.

He and I were both lonely,

so it didn't matter that we were a slime and a huge dragon.

We became friends.

Ever since then, I haven't been alone at all.

I've done a lot of favors for others,

but it was all just because I got lonely too easily.

Oh! Can you see now?

Okay, good! I'm gonna head back, then.

You're so openly lonely! Just like a certain dragon I know!

Um... I'm after the sarasa on the sandbar here.

So I'm gonna go gather some.

I'll come back to see you soon, so don't be lonely, okay?

Sorry I worried you guys.

I talked things over with the monster.

Great Rimuru!

Hey!

Eek!

Great Rimuru, please stand aside!

Wait, wait, wait! There's a good reason for this!

It went berserk?

Yeah. Something caused it to gain incredible power,

and it temporarily lost control. That's all.

Cut it some slack for my sake, okay?

I suppose we shall have to.

But what made it lose control?

W-Well, who knows?

Guoooogh

Um, uh... Well...

Hey! Doesn't the sand we're standing on feel super smooth?

Now that you mention it...

It does. Could this be...

It's super smooth!

This is the sarasa!

Super smooth, super smooth sarasa!

This sand...

It is sand that has absorbed a large amount of water

and been refined by mucus from this monster.

So I was right.

This sand must've been created by this guy just wandering around here.

Okay, let's take all of this sand!

What? But the bags we brought won't carry it all.

It doesn't have to be all at once. We can make more trips here to collect it.

Sarasa! Sarasa!

Of course, I could just put it all in my stomach,

but I did make a promise to this guy.

I said I'd come and visit.

I've made a stamina-boosting dish to relieve the day's exhaustion.

No, please, try some of my cooking now and then.

Um... Are you done with the cushions already?

Of course, we'll take them home and use them with love!

No, um...

I guess they were no match for the real thing.

This is an important part of my duty taking care of you, Great Rimuru.

Don't be unfair! Let me attend to you, too!

Oh, forget it. Just do what you want.

Why do only people who carry hope with them,

know of the despair within hearts?

Why do only people who carry courage with them,

chase the wounds at the end of their honour?

Not wanting to hide my eyes from sad happenings,

I showed the new dawn, calling it "a dream".

Through the gap in the twisted night, light is falling.

Ah, the sky is crying.

I don't know anything about the end of the world, even so

These hands want to protect the place they want to reach.

I just want to scrowl at one reason to fight.

So even forgiving each other, becomes an answer.

We can't lose.
