1
00:00:05,000 --> 00:00:09,060
He's really gone and done 
a crazy thing again, hasn't he?

2
00:00:13,660 --> 00:00:15,480
It's hard to believe.

3
00:00:15,480 --> 00:00:18,080
To think that slime managed 
to defeat Hinata the Saint

4
00:00:18,080 --> 00:00:20,080
so soon after becoming a Demon Lord.

5
00:00:20,320 --> 00:00:21,860
Don't be rude, Vaughn.

6
00:00:22,280 --> 00:00:25,820
But do you really expect me
to believe this report?</font>

7
00:00:26,390 --> 00:00:27,700
There is no question.

8
00:00:28,330 --> 00:00:30,840
Over a hundred Crusaders 
were soundly defeated,

9
00:00:31,120 --> 00:00:34,520
and Great Rimuru triumphed over 
Hinata the Saint in a one-on-one battle.

10
00:00:35,160 --> 00:00:39,680
As a result, Lubelius is moving to 
establish diplomatic relations with Tempest.

11
00:00:40,880 --> 00:00:43,510
<font face="Roboto Medium" size="26">Now, don't be so angry, Henrietta.</font>

12
00:00:43,790 --> 00:00:45,730
I am just as surprised as you are.

13
00:00:46,160 --> 00:00:49,020
I can imagine why Vaughn would 
struggle not to laugh at the prospect.

14
00:00:49,490 --> 00:00:52,120
How can one help but laugh?

15
00:00:53,480 --> 00:00:59,120
King Gazel, there is a chance that Demon 
Lord Rimuru has grown stronger than you.

16
00:00:59,710 --> 00:01:01,400
<font face="Roboto Medium" size="26">This makes him a threat.</font>

17
00:01:02,490 --> 00:01:03,880
Jane!

18
00:01:03,880 --> 00:01:06,780
His evolution to Demon Lord 
is indeed a threat,

19
00:01:06,960 --> 00:01:09,460
but I know what sort of person Rimuru is.

20
00:01:09,720 --> 00:01:12,540
I highly doubt that he would betray me.

21
00:01:23,250 --> 00:01:24,680
What do you intend to do?

22
00:01:27,830 --> 00:01:30,610
<font face="Roboto Medium" size="26">His debut as a newly-appointed Demon Lord?</font>

23
00:01:31,340 --> 00:01:35,450
What in blazes is that Rimuru thinking?

24
00:02:39,550 --> 00:02:44,180
<b>{\an8}That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime</b>

25
00:03:06,200 --> 00:03:10,960
<font face="Times New Roman" size="18"><b>{\an3}Episode 61: Invitations for All Nations</b></font>

26
00:03:11,280 --> 00:03:12,640
Is there a problem?

27
00:03:12,920 --> 00:03:15,480
Just thinking, we need more than a festival.

28
00:03:15,480 --> 00:03:18,040
It has to be an event 
so spectacular that it

29
00:03:18,040 --> 00:03:20,960
makes people want to 
come here again and again.

30
00:03:22,400 --> 00:03:25,560
<font face="Roboto Medium" size="26">I asked Mjöllmile to take care 
of the martial arts tournament,

31
00:03:25,560 --> 00:03:28,610
but I don't think we can do 
that more than once a year or so.

32
00:03:28,990 --> 00:03:34,000
We need something that'll 
attract visitors on a daily basis.

33
00:03:34,000 --> 00:03:35,360
I see.

34
00:03:36,270 --> 00:03:38,440
{\an8}Why are you so hard-headed?!

35
00:03:37,920 --> 00:03:39,620
<font face="Roboto Medium" size="26">She's making quite a commotion.</font>

36
00:03:38,440 --> 00:03:41,480
{\an8}Damn it all! What's your problem?!

37
00:03:39,920 --> 00:03:41,480
Did something happen?

38
00:03:42,150 --> 00:03:46,990
I'm telling you, 
we've already taken over this spot!

39
00:03:46,990 --> 00:03:48,860
Well, I don't know what to tell you.

40
00:03:48,860 --> 00:03:51,750
We're not allowed to approve that.

41
00:03:52,320 --> 00:03:53,690
<font face="Roboto Medium" size="26"><i>That's Gobkyu.</i></font>

42
00:03:53,960 --> 00:03:56,440
<i>He's Myrd's disciple and 
a very talented builder.</i>

43
00:03:56,840 --> 00:03:58,980
I'll ask Great Rimuru about this.

44
00:03:58,980 --> 00:04:02,000
Wait here, and don't do anything 
you don't have permission to do.

45
00:04:02,000 --> 00:04:02,770
I refuse!

46
00:04:02,770 --> 00:04:06,520
We abandoned our previous
labyrinth to come here!</font>

47
00:04:07,560 --> 00:04:13,760
You would run us poor, pitiful souls out 
when we've been left with nowhere to go?

48
00:04:14,560 --> 00:04:18,430
Complain all you want, 
but this is Great Rimuru's domain.

49
00:04:19,190 --> 00:04:21,240
I see you won't be persuaded by tears.

50
00:04:21,240 --> 00:04:24,040
In that case, I'm prepared to use force!

51
00:04:24,600 --> 00:04:28,040
<font face="Roboto Medium" size="26">If you keep nitpicking like that,</font>

52
00:04:28,270 --> 00:04:30,500
my Beretta here won't stand by and—

53
00:04:30,500 --> 00:04:32,080
What're you guys up to?

54
00:04:35,080 --> 00:04:37,990
H-H-Heya, Rimuru! How've you been?

55
00:04:39,160 --> 00:04:40,380
Lady Ramiris.

56
00:04:40,650 --> 00:04:43,080
I've brought some new wood.

57
00:04:43,480 --> 00:04:46,280
<font face="Roboto Medium" size="26">What are you doing, Treyni-san?</font>

58
00:04:46,920 --> 00:04:50,140
Wh-Why, Great Rimuru! 
I hope the day finds you well.

59
00:04:50,140 --> 00:04:50,740
Uh-oh!

60
00:04:50,740 --> 00:04:53,140
What is this all about, Treyni-san?

61
00:04:53,140 --> 00:04:56,280
W-Well, you see, 
it isn't what you're thinking.

62
00:04:56,280 --> 00:04:59,770
L-Lady Ramiris has done 
nothing wrong... I, um...

63
00:05:00,320 --> 00:05:01,880
<font face="Roboto Medium" size="26">Explain this, Beretta.</font>

64
00:05:02,140 --> 00:05:04,200
Ah, it must be me, then?

65
00:05:05,800 --> 00:05:07,290
You see, not long ago...

66
00:05:09,460 --> 00:05:11,530
I don't think we can keep this up.

67
00:05:11,960 --> 00:05:14,410
We should move somewhere else, too!

68
00:05:14,410 --> 00:05:16,360
You never cease to impress, Lady Ramiris!

69
00:05:16,360 --> 00:05:18,180
<font face="Roboto Medium" size="26">What a marvelous idea!</font>

70
00:05:18,180 --> 00:05:19,540
I know, right?!

71
00:05:19,900 --> 00:05:20,870
Please wait a moment.

72
00:05:21,830 --> 00:05:25,160
Putting aside whether 
that idea is marvelous or not,

73
00:05:25,160 --> 00:05:27,710
where would you have us move to?

74
00:05:27,970 --> 00:05:30,390
And might I inquire as to the reason?

75
00:05:30,720 --> 00:05:32,480
<font face="Roboto Medium" size="26">I'm very glad you asked!</font>

76
00:05:33,010 --> 00:05:35,220
I mean, don't you think 
it's boring here, Beretta?

77
00:05:35,220 --> 00:05:36,640
There's no one to play with,

78
00:05:36,640 --> 00:05:39,840
and the only fun to be had is making golems.

79
00:05:39,840 --> 00:05:41,630
No one ever comes here, y'know?

80
00:05:42,230 --> 00:05:45,650
But Tempest has all kinds of stuff!

81
00:05:45,650 --> 00:05:50,240
<font face="Roboto Medium" size="26">Which is why I think 
we should go live there!

82
00:05:51,450 --> 00:05:56,290
But, Lady Ramiris, did Great Rimuru 
not reject your request to do so?

83
00:05:56,520 --> 00:05:59,760
Beretta, you're making this more 
complicated than it needs to be.

84
00:06:00,090 --> 00:06:02,070
Great Rimuru is very kind.

85
00:06:02,380 --> 00:06:07,290
He would never flatly refuse a request
from the lovely Lady Ramiris.</font>

86
00:06:08,920 --> 00:06:10,350
<i>This colleague of mine...</i>

87
00:06:10,560 --> 00:06:13,660
<i>She excels in matters that 
aren't related to Lady Ramiris, but...</i>

88
00:06:14,720 --> 00:06:16,390
And that is the story.

89
00:06:16,390 --> 00:06:18,320
Beretta, you traitor!

90
00:06:18,770 --> 00:06:22,420
And as Lady Ramiris herself said,

91
00:06:22,420 --> 00:06:26,450
<font face="Roboto Medium" size="26">we sealed the door to our previous 
labyrinth before coming here.

92
00:06:26,650 --> 00:06:27,920
Now you know!

93
00:06:27,920 --> 00:06:32,840
So, Rimuru, if you run us out of here, 
we have nowhere left to go!

94
00:06:32,840 --> 00:06:34,950
Poor Lady Ramiris...

95
00:06:34,010 --> 00:06:34,940
Poor me!

96
00:06:34,940 --> 00:06:37,840
Don't be so soft on her, Treyni-san!

97
00:06:38,400 --> 00:06:40,920
<font face="Roboto Medium" size="26">Anyway, I get the gist.</font>

98
00:06:41,780 --> 00:06:43,750
You've had a rough day, Gobkyu.

99
00:06:43,750 --> 00:06:46,420
Nah, I'm fine, but...

100
00:06:46,880 --> 00:06:49,550
The guards kinda went through a lot.

101
00:06:49,550 --> 00:06:50,380
Hey!

102
00:06:51,320 --> 00:06:54,050
Y-Yeah, I got a little excited...

103
00:06:54,200 --> 00:06:56,330
Lady Ramiris is not to blame!

104
00:06:56,330 --> 00:06:59,480
<font face="Roboto Medium" size="26">Those soldiers said terrible things to her,</font>

105
00:06:59,480 --> 00:07:02,570
so I merely put them to sleep 
for a bit with my magic.

106
00:07:03,040 --> 00:07:04,040
In other words...

107
00:07:04,640 --> 00:07:08,470
You tried to build a shack here, 
and the guards stopped you.

108
00:07:08,470 --> 00:07:12,570
You didn't like that, so you ordered 
Treyni-san to put them to sleep,

109
00:07:12,570 --> 00:07:14,820
<font face="Roboto Medium" size="26">but Gobkyu came along and found you.</font>

110
00:07:15,070 --> 00:07:16,570
Do I have that right?

111
00:07:16,840 --> 00:07:18,300
Well, er...

112
00:07:18,300 --> 00:07:20,130
No, you don't!

113
00:07:20,130 --> 00:07:23,510
Or, at least... you might... or might not...

114
00:07:23,510 --> 00:07:24,260
I guess?

115
00:07:24,670 --> 00:07:26,520
I swear...

116
00:07:34,480 --> 00:07:35,500
<font face="Roboto Medium" size="26"><i>A door...</i></font>

117
00:07:37,860 --> 00:07:40,270
<i>A door to a labyrinth, eh?</i>

118
00:07:41,400 --> 00:07:42,880
This might actually work.

119
00:07:45,810 --> 00:07:50,280
{\an8}Sorcerous Dynasty of Thalion

120
00:08:05,240 --> 00:08:06,040
Your Majesty,

121
00:08:06,340 --> 00:08:10,570
I have received an invitation
from the nation of monsters.</font>

122
00:08:12,200 --> 00:08:15,700
<i>I never thought he'd actually 
be recognized as a Demon Lord...</i>

123
00:08:16,000 --> 00:08:18,130
<i>But that aside,</i>

124
00:08:18,880 --> 00:08:22,760
<i>{\an8}I can't get out of inviting 
Her Majesty along this time.</i>

125
00:08:28,520 --> 00:08:30,080
Oh?

126
00:08:31,220 --> 00:08:32,080
Your Majesty?

127
00:08:32,340 --> 00:08:36,510
You went to such a
fun-sounding place by yourself?</font>

128
00:08:36,510 --> 00:08:40,580
Well, good for you. You must 
have had a delightful time.

129
00:08:40,880 --> 00:08:41,570
Ah...

130
00:08:41,820 --> 00:08:44,280
You even introduced yourself as my envoy

131
00:08:44,280 --> 00:08:46,500
and established diplomatic 
relations with them.

132
00:08:46,500 --> 00:08:51,340
I would have like to be present for 
proceedings of such importance myself.

133
00:08:51,340 --> 00:08:55,480
<font face="Roboto Medium" size="26">B-But Your Majesty, it is 
undeniably a nation of monsters!

134
00:08:55,480 --> 00:08:59,100
I could not take you to such a place without 
knowing for certain that you'd be safe!

135
00:08:59,390 --> 00:09:01,860
If such fascinating creatures truly exist,

136
00:09:01,860 --> 00:09:03,740
I'd have wanted to see them for myself.

137
00:09:04,330 --> 00:09:08,040
Not to mention an audience
with a newly-appointed Demon Lord...</font>

138
00:09:08,040 --> 00:09:11,760
Even I have not had that privilege, 
and I have lived a very long life.

139
00:09:12,560 --> 00:09:15,580
Are you familiar with the 
phrase "beaten to the punch"?

140
00:09:17,110 --> 00:09:19,840
I can't believe a family member 
would treat me like this!

141
00:09:19,840 --> 00:09:23,080
What a poor, miserable empress I must be!

142
00:09:23,370 --> 00:09:27,930
<font face="Roboto Medium" size="26">How enviab—rather, how unforgivable!</font>

143
00:09:28,350 --> 00:09:33,090
You had no idea what pleasures—
that is, what dangers lay in store,

144
00:09:33,090 --> 00:09:35,090
and yet you still went on your own!

145
00:09:37,800 --> 00:09:39,440
This is inexcusable!

146
00:09:43,400 --> 00:09:45,940
So what do you intend to do?

147
00:09:45,940 --> 00:09:46,460
Huh?

148
00:09:47,220 --> 00:09:49,870
<font face="Roboto Medium" size="26">What... do you mean?</font>

149
00:09:50,090 --> 00:09:52,640
Ah, trying to get out of it, eh?

150
00:09:53,220 --> 00:09:54,640
Incidentally, my dear Erald,

151
00:09:55,070 --> 00:09:58,060
regarding the sweets I ordered 
from Mr. Yoshida's shop...

152
00:09:58,280 --> 00:10:01,730
Their quality has drastically 
improved as of late.

153
00:10:02,240 --> 00:10:03,970
Do you know why?

154
00:10:04,580 --> 00:10:05,970
<font face="Roboto Medium" size="26">Mr. Yoshida...</font>

155
00:10:06,320 --> 00:10:11,510
Are you referring to the confectionery 
maker who opened a shop in Engrassia?

156
00:10:11,510 --> 00:10:12,660
What of him?

157
00:10:12,880 --> 00:10:14,790
For a man so renowned as a tactician,

158
00:10:14,790 --> 00:10:16,690
it seems you know little of the world.

159
00:10:16,690 --> 00:10:17,940
How disappointing.

160
00:10:17,940 --> 00:10:19,760
<font face="Roboto Medium" size="26">I am truly sorry.</font>

161
00:10:20,400 --> 00:10:25,520
What does this Mr. Yoshida have to do 
with the invitation from Rimuru?

162
00:10:25,700 --> 00:10:28,510
Goodness, you really don't know?

163
00:10:28,840 --> 00:10:32,840
Eryune once bought me some 
of his sweets as a souvenir.

164
00:10:33,330 --> 00:10:35,520
I suppose you didn't get any, then?

165
00:10:35,520 --> 00:10:38,530
What?!

166
00:10:41,050 --> 00:10:43,280
<font face="Roboto Medium" size="26">Very well. I will fill you in.</font>

167
00:10:43,800 --> 00:10:48,140
It seems Mr. Yoshida has started procuring 
ingredients from a certain someone,

168
00:10:48,430 --> 00:10:51,100
and that has caused a drastic increase 
in the quality of his goods.

169
00:10:51,480 --> 00:10:56,080
The souvenir Eryune brought 
was a terribly delicious cake.

170
00:10:56,460 --> 00:10:57,510
<i>Cake?!</i>

171
00:10:58,290 --> 00:11:01,550
<font face="Roboto Medium" size="26"><i>Eren, why didn't you bring 
any back for your daddy?</i>

172
00:11:01,720 --> 00:11:06,690
So I invited him to become this 
empire's exclusive sweets supplier,

173
00:11:07,040 --> 00:11:08,640
but he turned me down.

174
00:11:09,040 --> 00:11:13,360
No matter how much money I offered, 
Mr. Yoshida would not come here.

175
00:11:13,620 --> 00:11:16,980
<i>What the heck are you
even doing, Your Majesty?</i></font>

176
00:11:19,660 --> 00:11:24,760
But apparently, Mr. Yoshida has 
been talking about closing his shop.

177
00:11:24,760 --> 00:11:28,360
I don't know if he intends 
to open a branch or relocate...

178
00:11:29,200 --> 00:11:30,160
In any case,

179
00:11:30,160 --> 00:11:35,490
do you not feel that being unable to eat his 
sweets in the meantime is a major problem?

180
00:11:35,490 --> 00:11:38,000
<font face="Roboto Medium" size="26">I do not, actually. What of it?</font>

181
00:11:38,670 --> 00:11:42,690
Oh? So that's what you have to say?

182
00:11:43,090 --> 00:11:46,330
Eryune absolutely loved his sweets,

183
00:11:46,330 --> 00:11:48,880
so if she were able to 
obtain them here with ease,

184
00:11:48,880 --> 00:11:52,150
I'm certain she would come home more often.

185
00:11:52,150 --> 00:11:52,970
Ah!

186
00:11:53,400 --> 00:11:57,990
<font face="Roboto Medium" size="26">She does attend the tea parties 
I hold periodically, after all.

187
00:11:58,320 --> 00:11:59,110
<i>What?!</i>

188
00:11:59,920 --> 00:12:01,190
<i>Those punks!</i>

189
00:12:01,190 --> 00:12:04,860
<i>I ordered them to let me 
know whenever Eren came home!</i>

190
00:12:06,040 --> 00:12:08,360
This is a serious matter!

191
00:12:08,700 --> 00:12:09,560
You see?

192
00:12:10,360 --> 00:12:13,840
<font face="Roboto Medium" size="26">But by letting my money 
and authority do the talking,

193
00:12:13,840 --> 00:12:16,370
I have acquired some pertinent information.

194
00:12:18,160 --> 00:12:19,360
Do tell.

195
00:12:20,410 --> 00:12:22,020
Shockingly enough,

196
00:12:22,020 --> 00:12:24,190
the place he intends to relocate to

197
00:12:24,190 --> 00:12:26,870
is Tempest, the very nation you visited!

198
00:12:27,890 --> 00:12:31,800
<font face="Roboto Medium" size="26">What were you doing when you went there?</font>

199
00:12:37,200 --> 00:12:39,090
You nailed it again, Shuna!

200
00:12:39,780 --> 00:12:43,240
This is a perfect recreation 
of that brand-new recipe!

201
00:12:48,190 --> 00:12:53,240
Ah... You mean that recipe 
was... Mr. Yoshida's?

202
00:12:53,550 --> 00:12:56,540
Are you really as shrewd as you claim to be?

203
00:12:56,980 --> 00:12:58,710
<font face="Roboto Medium" size="26">I am most ashamed.</font>

204
00:12:59,050 --> 00:13:05,180
I thought you were there to secure 
a monopoly on his sweets for Eryune.

205
00:13:05,180 --> 00:13:07,720
I wouldn't do such a thing.

206
00:13:08,100 --> 00:13:11,310
Wouldn't you? You're such a 
doting father, after all.

207
00:13:13,830 --> 00:13:17,230
Anyway, Your Majesty, if I may 
return to the original subject,

208
00:13:17,230 --> 00:13:19,840
<font face="Roboto Medium" size="26">how would you like to reply to Rimuru?</font>

209
00:13:20,420 --> 00:13:21,780
Well, now...

210
00:13:22,930 --> 00:13:25,010
<i>The destination is a nation of monsters.</i>

211
00:13:25,310 --> 00:13:29,160
<i>Which means I'll be giving 
the people waiting</i>

212
00:13:29,160 --> 00:13:32,400
<i>for me to slip up an excuse to overthrow me.</i>

213
00:13:32,760 --> 00:13:34,040
<i>Not only that,</i>

214
00:13:34,040 --> 00:13:38,100
<font face="Roboto Medium" size="26"><i>but I can't be certain that there are 
no villains hoping to kill the empress.</i>

215
00:13:38,740 --> 00:13:41,290
You worry too much, my dear Erald.

216
00:13:43,280 --> 00:13:44,290
Your Majesty?

217
00:13:45,310 --> 00:13:47,850
Whatever those boys might be thinking,

218
00:13:48,270 --> 00:13:51,130
they would not do me an ill turn.

219
00:13:53,710 --> 00:13:58,060
The Demon Lord Rimuru
is the one we must be wary of.</font>

220
00:14:06,940 --> 00:14:09,950
What do you mean by that?

221
00:14:11,860 --> 00:14:16,450
Rimuru quite readily agreed to maintain 
the road to Thalion, did he not?

222
00:14:16,700 --> 00:14:17,350
Yes.

223
00:14:17,800 --> 00:14:22,330
Though he did request the right 
to charge transit fees for its use,

224
00:14:22,680 --> 00:14:25,320
he agreed to do all the construction.

225
00:14:25,320 --> 00:14:26,200
<font face="Roboto Medium" size="26">That's the thing.</font>

226
00:14:27,050 --> 00:14:30,680
That right in itself will 
bring him massive wealth.

227
00:14:31,160 --> 00:14:34,720
Does looking at me tell 
you nothing, my dear Erald?

228
00:14:35,270 --> 00:14:38,010
Are you referring to concessions?

229
00:14:38,680 --> 00:14:40,730
You still have much to learn.

230
00:14:41,160 --> 00:14:43,730
When long-lived races like us make plans,

231
00:14:43,730 --> 00:14:48,240
<font face="Roboto Medium" size="26">long-term profits are always a prerequisite.</font>

232
00:14:48,240 --> 00:14:49,770
Yes, of course.

233
00:14:49,770 --> 00:14:55,130
The transit fees charged for using 
the road Demon Lord Rimuru is building

234
00:14:55,130 --> 00:14:57,760
and our own expenses 
in the road's construction

235
00:14:58,240 --> 00:15:00,760
were all considered in making the decision.

236
00:15:00,760 --> 00:15:02,200
<font face="Roboto Medium" size="26">You are naïve.</font>

237
00:15:02,600 --> 00:15:05,770
Developing that forest 
is a very difficult task.

238
00:15:05,770 --> 00:15:09,840
The reason no one did it before is 
because there was nothing to gain from it.

better to profit off of it

00:15:40,300 --> 00:15:42,830
Normally, it would be a great success,

00:16:27,940 --> 00:16:30,120
and the concessions for the road prove it.

286
00:16:30,680 --> 00:16:34,410
Demon Lord Rimuru is very 
familiar with human society.

287
00:16:35,270 --> 00:16:39,200
There can be no doubt that he was 
originally an Otherworlder,

288
00:16:39,200 --> 00:16:43,560
but he has obtained the power to use his
knowledge and experiences to the fullest.</font>

289
00:16:44,120 --> 00:16:46,270
Even considering his status as a Demon Lord,

290
00:16:46,270 --> 00:16:48,190
he is a force to be reckoned with.

291
00:16:48,820 --> 00:16:53,440
The disciples of the Hero Shizu Izawa—
Grandmaster Yuuki Kagurazaka

292
00:16:53,440 --> 00:16:56,250
and Holy Knight Captain Hinata Sakaguchi—

293
00:16:56,250 --> 00:16:58,910
<font face="Roboto Medium" size="26">are quite powerful in the Western Provinces,</font>

but if they ultimately fall 
short of Demon Lord Rimuru...

295
00:17:02,670 --> 00:17:04,540
By which you mean...

296
00:17:05,970 --> 00:17:08,000
Not attending isn't an option.

297
00:17:22,830 --> 00:17:27,400

<font face="Roboto Medium" size="26">No need for all the honorific talk.</font>

299
00:17:30,560 --> 00:17:34,090
Actually, that was hardly even 
polite, let alone honorific.

300
00:17:35,710 --> 00:17:36,640
Gobkyu,

301
00:17:36,640 --> 00:17:40,500
I'm thinking of making an evacuation 
shelter in the arena's basement.

302
00:17:40,500 --> 00:17:41,470
Can we do that?

303
00:17:42,810 --> 00:17:47,090
Even with structural calculations based
on the strength of your top officers...</font>

304
00:17:47,090 --> 00:17:49,640
I don't think it will be 
safe directly under the arena.

305
00:17:50,240 --> 00:17:51,450
If there's a big space there,

306
00:17:51,450 --> 00:17:54,120
any significant impact would cause 
the building to fall into it.

307
00:17:54,860 --> 00:17:57,800
But if it's not directly below, 
it should be fine.

308
00:17:58,600 --> 00:17:59,810
That makes sense.

309
00:18:00,240 --> 00:18:02,800
<font face="Roboto Medium" size="26">I want to put a door 
in this underground space.

310
00:18:04,280 --> 00:18:05,560
A door?

311
00:18:05,790 --> 00:18:06,440
Yeah.

312
00:18:06,640 --> 00:18:10,910
Make it a big, heavy one that 
a stone slab could be fitted into.

313
00:18:11,440 --> 00:18:15,560
And are we putting an evacuation 
shelter behind this door, as well?

314
00:18:15,560 --> 00:18:17,440
Nope. No need for that.

315
00:18:17,640 --> 00:18:19,320
<font face="Roboto Medium" size="26">All that matters is the door.</font>

316
00:18:19,610 --> 00:18:21,070
Right, Ramiris?

317
00:18:21,380 --> 00:18:22,750
R-Rimuru?

318
00:18:22,750 --> 00:18:25,790
Are you, by any chance, talking about...

319
00:18:26,060 --> 00:18:30,600
I want you to help me make 
an underground labyrinth—a dungeon.

320
00:18:36,460 --> 00:18:40,160
We'll let monsters loose in it 
and send adventurers inside.

321
00:18:40,160 --> 00:18:44,300
<font face="Roboto Medium" size="26">That should attract some visitors every day.</font>

322
00:18:44,590 --> 00:18:47,910
A l-labyrinth? Under the arena?

323
00:18:48,560 --> 00:18:52,730
In the arena itself, 
we could train rookie adventurers.

324
00:18:52,730 --> 00:18:55,320
I plan to put a stall there 
that'll sell potions, too.

325
00:18:55,600 --> 00:18:58,470
And with Ramiris running a dungeon there,

326
00:18:58,470 --> 00:19:03,370
<font face="Roboto Medium" size="26">I bet a bar where adventurers can grab 
a drink on their way home would be a hit.

327
00:19:03,370 --> 00:19:05,370
Run it? Me?!

328
00:19:05,610 --> 00:19:08,180
We make a profit off of adventurers,

329
00:19:08,180 --> 00:19:10,400
while you and your crew get 
a home and a job.

330
00:19:10,400 --> 00:19:13,880
You'll also earn a bit of money from me.

331
00:19:14,070 --> 00:19:16,880
<font face="Roboto Medium" size="26">W-Wait... So that means...</font>

332
00:19:16,880 --> 00:19:20,560
Not only do I get to build 
a labyrinth here to live in,

333
00:19:20,560 --> 00:19:23,760
but you'll give me 
a respectable job to do, too?!

334
00:19:23,760 --> 00:19:26,890
If you accept my proposal, yes.

335
00:19:27,700 --> 00:19:30,510
Okay, then... Does that mean, 
maybe, just maybe...

336
00:19:30,510 --> 00:19:34,030
<font face="Roboto Medium" size="26">I won't be an unemployed shut-in anymore?</font>

337
00:19:34,280 --> 00:19:37,040
How wonderful, Lady Ramiris.

338
00:19:39,260 --> 00:19:40,700
U-Um...

339
00:19:40,700 --> 00:19:45,440
When you say you'll even pay me, 
do you really mean it?

340
00:19:45,710 --> 00:19:46,880
I do.

341
00:19:46,880 --> 00:19:50,960
I won't know how profitable it'll be 
until we get it running, though.

342
00:19:51,230 --> 00:19:53,160
<font face="Roboto Medium" size="26">How about I pay you</font>

343
00:19:53,160 --> 00:19:56,160
twenty percent of the profits, 
after subtracting necessary expenses?

344
00:19:56,160 --> 00:19:59,710
A-About how much are we talking here?

345
00:20:00,010 --> 00:20:01,200
Well...

346
00:20:01,200 --> 00:20:04,230
if we assume about a thousand 
adventurers visit per day,

347
00:20:04,230 --> 00:20:07,720
your share would come
to about two gold coins.</font>

348
00:20:07,860 --> 00:20:11,720
What?! Y-You'll pay me that much?!

349
00:20:11,960 --> 00:20:15,830
That's only a guess, though. 
We don't know if it'll be a success.

350
00:20:15,830 --> 00:20:18,720
It's meaningless if 
nobody shows up, after all.

351
00:20:19,070 --> 00:20:21,780
But if you were planning 
to live there anyway,

352
00:20:21,780 --> 00:20:24,030
I'd say you have nothing to lose.

353
00:20:26,530 --> 00:20:30,650
<font face="Roboto Medium" size="26">This means I can get my hands 
on a veritable fortune!

354
00:20:30,650 --> 00:20:36,220
They won't mock me for being a broke, 
unemployed Demon Lord anymore!

355
00:20:36,220 --> 00:20:38,840
<i>They must've really been 
giving her hell over that.</i>

356
00:20:39,420 --> 00:20:40,320
Hey!

357
00:20:40,320 --> 00:20:43,070
We need to decide where 
to build the arena first!

358
00:20:43,070 --> 00:20:44,790
<font face="Roboto Medium" size="26">Come back here!</font>

359
00:20:48,160 --> 00:20:51,640
I'm thinking of expanding 
the town square outside the west gate,

360
00:20:51,640 --> 00:20:54,140
where the road ends, and building it there.

361
00:20:54,560 --> 00:20:57,890
Why? There's open space 
in town, isn't there?

362
00:20:57,890 --> 00:21:02,280
The Lycanthropes are using 
that area as a shelter right now.

363
00:21:02,280 --> 00:21:04,530
<font face="Roboto Medium" size="26">There's a lot of temporary housing there,</font>

364
00:21:04,530 --> 00:21:07,400
so it's not the best place 
to build an arena.

365
00:21:07,800 --> 00:21:11,510
And we can't just run the 
Lycanthrope refugees out of the city.

366
00:21:11,800 --> 00:21:13,690
I think developing that area

367
00:21:13,690 --> 00:21:16,920
will have to wait until after Sir Geld 
finishes building the new capital.

368
00:21:17,120 --> 00:21:21,570
<font face="Roboto Medium" size="26">Then why not have them 
move into my labyrinth?

369
00:21:21,570 --> 00:21:26,010
I can pick up and move the entire thing, 
so it won't be too much work.

370
00:21:26,410 --> 00:21:27,120
Huh?

371
00:21:29,480 --> 00:21:33,810
Does that mean you can move 
the people living there along with it?

372
00:21:34,120 --> 00:21:35,630
Oh, well...

373
00:21:35,630 --> 00:21:40,120
<font face="Roboto Medium" size="26">I'd need their permission before 
moving them into the labyrinth.

374
00:21:40,120 --> 00:21:43,890
But I can move objects that have no 
consciousness without anyone's permission!

375
00:21:43,890 --> 00:21:45,230
For real?!

376
00:21:45,500 --> 00:21:49,960
You mean you can move 
not only the Lycanthropes,

377
00:21:49,960 --> 00:21:52,900
but their houses and furniture
and everything, with just your will?</font>

378
00:21:52,900 --> 00:21:55,070
Yep! That's right!

379
00:21:55,350 --> 00:21:56,960
That's impressive.

380
00:21:56,960 --> 00:22:01,300
Frankly, I was convinced you 
had no useful skills at all.

381
00:22:01,920 --> 00:22:03,800
Th-That's just mean!

382
00:22:03,800 --> 00:22:07,140
You dare say that to the one feared 
as the strongest of the Demon Lords?!

383
00:22:07,140 --> 00:22:10,140
<font face="Roboto Medium" size="26">Come on, don't get mad, Ramiris-chan.</font>

384
00:22:10,140 --> 00:22:13,200
Just tell me what other 
cool things you can do!

385
00:22:17,100 --> 00:22:18,300
Fantastic!

386
00:22:18,740 --> 00:22:22,220
Now the safety aspect that I was 
the most worried about isn't an issue!

387
00:22:22,220 --> 00:22:24,110
Just fantastic, Ramiris-kun!

388
00:22:24,360 --> 00:22:26,520
Really? You really mean it?

389
00:22:27,020 --> 00:22:29,610
<font face="Roboto Medium" size="26">So I really am amazing?</font>

390
00:22:29,770 --> 00:22:30,480
Yep!

391
00:22:30,750 --> 00:22:33,990
Now our ambition is practically in the bag!

392
00:22:34,680 --> 00:22:36,960
Do a good job for me, Ramiris-kun!

393
00:22:37,180 --> 00:22:39,840
Right! Just leave it to me!

394
00:22:42,990 --> 00:22:45,960
You're aboard my boat now, 
and it's a big one!

395
00:22:49,040 --> 00:22:53,450
<font face="Roboto Medium" size="26"><i>A big boat, huh? I just 
hope it's not made of mud...</i>

396
00:24:25,260 --> 00:24:27,980
<i>{\an8}Next time, "Labyrinth and Storm Dragon."</i>

397
00:24:26,020 --> 00:24:29,980
<b>Labyrinth and <u>Storm Dragon</u></b>
