What are you doing here, Milim?!

It seemed like you were up to something interesting.

so I came to see!

And you tried to leave me out?

You have some nerve, Rimuru!

Look—

Milim, eh?

Clearly, a child like you

can't yet comprehend the sublime nature of the work we adults are doing.

This is no game. Don't try to interfere!

What Master said!

We're working here,

and you just have nothing better to do, so you can scram!

What "something interesting" are you talking about?

I'm planning this huge festival because of the letter you sent me.

What?

You didn't ignore my letter, then?

Of course not.

We're inviting Demon Lords to this thing, you know.

We can't half-ass it.

Excuse me, Rimuru! I'm a Demon Lord, too!

I'm part of Octagram just like you and Milim!

Yeah, but you just moved in here before I had a chance to invite you.

What?!

What do you mean, she "moved in"?!

Don't tell me you're living with Rimuru now, Ramiris!

Huh?

That's right! I didn't even need an invitation!

I've graduated from the solo life, and now I'm living with Rimuru!

No fair! That's no fair!

I want to live with you, too!

Hah! I'm working here, I'll have you know!

I'm helping Rimuru,

so I'm not just some pesky visitor like you!

Say what?!

How dare you say something like that to me?!

That is quite enough.

Anyone who's fighting doesn't get a snack.

W-We're the best of friends.

Right?

Well done, Shuna.

That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime

Episode 63: Audience

Give me a job to do, too!

Are your subordinates okay with this, though?

You got permission from Carrion-san or Frey-san, right?

Yeah, well...

I mean, I'm just so brilliant, you know?

It's not like I ran away because I didn't want to study!

Stare...

No!

I'm gonna be part of this, and you can't stop me!

Okay.

You're the one who'll get chewed out for it, so we'll put that aside.

Dragons! We need dragons!

To go back to what you said earlier,

you can capture some dragons and bring them here for us?

Can you really do that?

Am I really gonna get chewed out?

No, I can't help that!

Danger is just part of being on an adventure, after all!

Dragons, is it?

I most certainly can capture them.

In fact, why don't I go capture some myself?

So I gave Milim the task of capturing dragons for us.

An Earth Dragon,

a Wind Dragon,

an Ice Dragon,

and a Fire Dragon.

We got four dragons total and set them loose in the dungeon.

Thanks to the magicules Veldora unleashed,

the dungeon started generating its own monsters,

and we made good progress laying the traps.

Now step on the next one.

All righty!

Great Rimuru!

Sorry I'm late!

Happy to be working with you from today on!

Rigurd, good to see you again, too!

Hey, Mjöllmile-kun! Glad to see you're here.

Looks like preparations are really coming along.

I see some folks who've come from other countries, too.

Happily enough, yes.

Oh, this is absolutely remarkable!

So as you can see, we've made progress.

It is truly reassuring to have Mjöllmile take part in our planning.

Right?

Once this whole ordeal ends in raging success,

I want to put him in charge of managing our finances.

That is a brilliant idea!

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa! I'm not ready for that!

Still, I will take on the task to the best of my ability.

Unbelievable... This is simply unbelievable!

Even compared to the finest lodgings in the Kingdom of Engrassia... ooh!

This house is far more luxurious than any of them!

Thanks for bringing him all this way, Gobuemon.

Did you have any trouble getting here?

Well, as it happens...

Boy, I sure am grateful to you for sending an escort for me, Rimuru!

The thing is...

It was a fearsome monster.

It may have been the work of a resentful Viscount Kazak.

Gobuemon, continue to escort Mjöllmile-kun for the time being.

Understood, Your Majesty Rimuru.

That's okay, right, Mjöllmile-kun?

I certainly don't mind!

Heck, I would have asked him to myself if you hadn't!

Attackers, huh?

We have Shuna's barrier here in town,

but I should probably put the road on higher alert.

Okay, let's have you all report on the progress of your respective projects.

Great Rimuru, there is one thing I would like to discuss.

What's that, Rigurd?

Representatives of all species living in the Great Forest of Jura

have already begun to assemble in the city.

They wish to congratulate you on your appointment as Demon Lord...

or perhaps to see your power for themselves.

Their goal is to swear their loyalty

to a Demon Lord and earn his protection.

But if they determine that said Demon Lord lacks power,

they will quickly bare their fangs and become an insurgent force.

Until now, the Great Forest of Jura has been kept safe

by the divine protection of Lord Veldora,

and now a new Demon Lord has assumed control over their inviolable domain.

I get it.

The new Demon Lord's a rookie,

and they don't know what he's like.

It makes sense that they'd feel uneasy about it.

Which is why we were hoping you would agree to a formal audience for them.

A formal audience?

It suits you, Great Rimuru!

The audience will be held over the next three days, starting this afternoon.

Do give it your best!

Diablo and Hakuro have not yet returned from Falmuth,

and they were terribly vexed that they would miss seeing you at your finest!

Well, they have Youm's coronation to deal with.

The name "Falmuth" will be erased,

and a new nation will be born.

They're probably super busy getting things ready.

I'm not the only one who's dealing with a lot right now.

It's embarrassing, but I'll have to do the best I can.

Yeah, definitely embarrassing...

The formal audience will hereby begin!

Hey, it's Abiru!

It is delightful to see you again, Great Rimuru.

I'm so happy—that is,

I am utterly delighted to be present for this momentous occasion.

There's no need to be so formal.

You're a fellow leader in our federation!

I look forward to our continued relationship.

That simply would not do.

No, really. Gabiru's been doing great work for me.

I have him in charge of development now.

Right, Gabiru?

Huh?!

Yes!

My foolish son...

Sir Gabiru...

I'm so glad he forgave him!

Indeed!

This is the last group of the day.

Trya-san and Doris-san?

Long time no see! How've you been?

Great Rimuru...

We have an important matter to discuss.

Ah, Lady Ramiris, you are truly lovely!

As beautiful as ever, and with just as much dignity.

You are indeed worthy to be our master.

You hear that?

Hey, you heard that, right?!

You see me a little differently now, don't ya?!

What are you gonna do, Ramiris?

It's not just these two. All the Treants want to serve you.

But...

Why not have them move into your labyrinth?

Really?!

I'll be ready by tomorrow, then!

Expanding the labyrinth was a cinch with Master's help,

and I feel like my powers got stronger, too!

We have some open floors, so maybe we could make a jungle floor!

But as denizens of the Great Forest of Jura,

should they not fall under Great Rimuru's jurisdiction?

Well, the inside of the labyrinth is under Ramiris's rule.

It's extraterritorial, so I don't mind.

We, the Treants and Dryads,

wish to be under Lady Ramiris's patronage.

We realize it's a selfish request,

but could we have your permission?

Sure. It's yours.

Yay!

With such a lovely paradise built just for us,

I'm sure our people will live very happily here.

Please allow us to return this favor.

Okay, then, can I ask the Dryads to help me manage the labyrinth?

That will be easy!

Great!

Get your people out of here!

I'm impressed your people brought your ugly faces before the king.

Hey, Demon Lord!

We'll be a lot more useful to you in battle!

With us Bovoids on your side,

you'll have total authority over the forest!

If we wipe out those Equinoid weaklings,

there'll be no species in this forest that can top us!

They do have a few A-ranks among them.

In terms of pure combat strength,

they might be the strongest in the Great Forest of Jura.

Hah! You fool!

He's a Demon Lord. He has better judgment than that.

You need not hesitate! Join forces with us Equinoids!

We'll slaughter not only these Bovoids, but everyone who defies you!

These guys are like the Minotaur from Greek mythology.

And when you think of the Minotaur, you think of the Labyrinth...

These guys might make perfect dungeon bosses!

But it's clear they each want to use me to eliminate the other.

Okay, this is a job for my Demon Lord Presence.

Huh?

You two!

How dare you behave so insolently in our king's presence?!

I, Rigurd, will remind you of where you stand!

Where does a civil official get off talking to us like that?

Some flunky of the Demon Lord has no business mouthing off to us!

They aren't even noticing the Demon Lord Presence?

These guys are so hot-headed, they have zero ability to read a room.

Shuna's barrier broke?

Is this...

Oh, great. This could be a pain.

Hmph. I see no problem.

I'm sensing immense energy.

Is it a majin?

It's not the presence of someone who wants to be friends.

Wh-What incredible power...

H-Hey, Demon Lord!

Is some other Demon Lord attacking?!

Let's go!

Right!

Gobzo!

G-Great Rimuru...

Who are you people?

Are you aware that this is Demon Lord Rimuru's domain?

Outta the way.

I have no interest in small fry.

I was gonna kill Clayman and steal his throne as Demon Lord,

but you got in my way, and I'm pissed about it.

I won't do any needless killing,

but if you get in my way, I'll show no mercy!

He's right.

Even though he has so much more energy, no one here is dead.

Looks like he's telling the truth about no needless killing.

But that doesn't mean I can just let him go.

Great Rimuru, please wait.

I will handle this.

Huh?!

Oh?

Are you Demon Lord Rimuru's aide?

You're the Kijin woman Dad mentioned. The one who knocked out Clayman.

Interesting.

You'll make for a good warm-up.

Hold up, bro.

You can have the Demon Lord. Let us take the aide.

Yeah, what he said.

I'm hungry, so let me have one, too.

Are these guys brothers?

Each one of them has as much energy as Clayman before he awakened.

Their father must be a Demon Lord...

but which one?

You three!

We're busy with Great Rimuru's formal audience right now.

We can't waste time, so I'll take you all on together.

Hey, now, you think we're some kinda joke?

Don't think I'll go easy on you 'cause you're a woman.

I'll make you cry. I promise you I will.

That made my tummy rumble a little!

Looks like I'll have a full belly for the first time in ages!

That's crazy. She's gonna fight three guys with more power than her all at once?

B-Benimaru-kun?

Let her have her way.

She's better at showing restraint than I am, anyway.

Huh?!

I guess I gotta let her do it...

Hold on a minute!

This isn't the place. Let's go somewhere else.

Yo, woman!

Since you've got guts,

I'll give you one chance to take back what you said.

I'll show you that greater energy isn't what decides the outcome of a battle.

B-Benimaru-kun? Is Shion...

Yes, it is a surprise.

She's gotten better at restraining herself.

That's not the point here!

All joking aside, she's incredible!

You think she's grown a little too much?

I'm sorry! Was that not enough?

Then I shall go a bit—

No, no! That was enough!

If you've learned your lesson, don't cause trouble for us again.

And remember, the other Demon Lords are even crazier,

so don't do anything too reckless.

She's even stronger than Dad said.

Bro, does that mean Demon Lord Rimuru is...

Yeah. He's even more amazing.

I sure am hungry.

So who put you guys up to this?

Yes, sir!

We are the sons of Demon Lord Daggrull.

I'm the oldest, Daggra.

I'm the second, Liura.

I'm the youngest, Chonkra.

They're Daggrull's...

Wait, you admitted to that so easily. Was that a good idea?

Yeah.

Truth is, our dad ordered us to train under you.

We got just a little violent, and he was mad as hell.

He ran us out.

He can't control his sons, so he's dumping them on me?

That's so out of line. We're not even friends or anything.

Then again, it's not a bad idea to have him indebted to me.

Okay, fine.

You guys will train under Shion from now on.

Shion, sorry to throw this headache at you...

I am Shion, the one just now appointed by Great Rimuru!

I will train even a bunch of weaklings like you

into a powerful force of top-rate warriors!

Just rest easy and follow me!

Yes'm! Couldn't ask for more!

You got it!

I'm gonna work my hardest under your instruction from now on!

Same goes for me!

But first, could you get me something to eat?

Indeed!

Make sure you all follow my instructions to the letter!

Are you sure about this?

Let's let her do what she wants.

W-We have awaited your return!

We hereby swear our loyalty to Demon Lord Rimuru!

We do!

Huh?

I guess they were watching that whole commotion.

Ah...

The rest of the formal audience proceeded smoothly.

They say elves can live for 500 to 800 years, right?

You may be an elder, but you just look like a young man.

It is an honor to meet you.

We have come today

to both congratulate you and thank you.

Thank me?

But I don't think I've met you guys before...

I refer to the Bovoids and the Equinoids.

They have been at war for over a century,

and the forest in which we reside has suffered for it.

The animals and monsters of the forest have fled,

and we cannot grow any produce.

Some have even departed to work in Dwargon.

Really?

We were left with no choice but to consider relocating,

but despite how large the Great Forest of Jura is,

finding a place to relocate to has not been so simple.

Hm, I see.

So we had intended to petition you to do something about those hellions...

But you passed your judgment before we could do so.

Now, if we can just find a place to relocate to...

Hm? Wait a minute...

How many of you are there?

Around 300.

Elder, I have an idea as to where you can move to.

O-Oh! Truly, Your Majesty Rimuru?!

Yeah. We can take all of you.

Thank you so much!

Then, once I return to my brethren,

I will bring them all back here.

I'd like you to handle a few jobs for me, though.

But of course!

If the powers that we elves possess can be of use to Your Majesty,

we could know no greater joy!

Now, I only hope those who have left us will return soon...

Left you?

Yes.

Some of our people departed to earn money, but never returned.

We are a race that values solidarity.

I find it hard to believe they would abandon their homeland.

Man, taking elves as slaves, huh?

Some people have some pretty cruel ideas.

Soei,

look into a guy called Viscount Kazak in Blumund.

Understood.

Whew, day three. It's finally almost over...

Geld, is Diablo back, too?

Yes. He received time off,

so he will be able to see you in your finery.

Great Rimuru!

As always, you present yourself with such dignity!

I am so overjoyed to see you again, I feel my chest is about to burst!

I wanted to get your report on what's going on in Falmuth...

But it looks like today's audience might be the toughest.

I mean, it's with...

the Tengu clan.

Next time, "Benimaru's Ordeal."
