Original subtitles

I, the Storm Dragon, Veldora Tempest, have returned!

Anyone who opposes me will die!

Hey, old man. How did you know that line?

I got bored so I analyzed your memory and read this thing you call "manga!"

And also...

My shogi skill is now equal to that of a Meijin.

And since I'm a dragon, you can even say that I'm Ryuo level!

RYUO: DRAGON KING

I see.

I'm glad that you enjoyed your time in my stomach.

What?

I just got revived, aren't you being a bit too cold?

But it was way faster than I expected.

Let me thank you, Rimuru Tempest!

My sworn friend!

"Sworn friend"? That's old, man.

That's right. Did you receive a Gift as well?

Glad you asked!

Thanks to you, my Unique Skill, Inquirer, now became Ultimate Skill, Faust!

This is the power that embodies my restless pursuit of knowledge...

As I thought.

My Great Sage also evolved into Ultimate Skill, Raphael, after all.

Yes.

And by analyzing Veldora's residue, you have obtained Ultimate Skill, Veldora.

Really?

Also, after using Unique Skill, Unlimited Imprisonment,

as a base for ability rearrangement,

Ultimate Skill, Uriel, has been successfully acquired.

So now I have a total of four Ultimate Skills?

Indeed, you have.

So with that in mind, I'm now invincible!

You can just relax and let me help you out!

Okay.

The outside world after 700 years.

The air is delicious!

Say, can you tone down your enormous aura a little?

You'll scare off those in town.

Very well, I will try.

Imagine piling it up inside.

I see. I can do "that."

"That"?

He's releasing his aura like crazy.

How is it?

Oh, looks good.

Your aura is pretty small now.

I learned this from the holy scripture! It contains all the world's knowledge!

He must have tried something he read from a manga.

Hey, everyone! Sorry for the wait!

Oh, Lord Rimuru! Are you okay? We were really worried!

There was a sudden sign that the Storm Dragon, Veldora,

has been revived!

I'm actually going to explain that now.

But before that, let me introduce this guy to you.

This guy is Veldora!

He's a little shy, but please get along with him!

What?

Hey there! I'm not shy in the slightest!

It's just that there aren't many people who could actually reach me alive!

Treyni!

Our guardian deity, Lord Veldora,

we congratulate you on your revival.

Oh, Dryads, it's been a while.

You did well looking after my forest!

Your thanks are more than we deserve.

You kindly took us in after we got separated from the spirit queen.

It is a favor that cannot be so easily repaid.

Don't mind it.

What? He's the real Storm Dragon?

You've got to be kidding me.

I'll be counting on you to help out Rimuru from now on.

Because I will stay here with him as well.

Hey. What do you mean by that?

Excuse me!

What is it?

May we humbly ask what your relationship is with Lord Rimuru?

You want to know?

Yes, please!

Very well.

Rimuru is my confidant, another half of my soul,

and a sworn friend!

Sworn friend!

-Sworn friend! -Stop it! Now you're embarrassing me!

Amazing!

So not only is he acquainted with Lady Milim but also Lord Veldora?

Lord Rimuru has always been amazing since the beginning!

It's as if anything goes at this point.

It's only natural for My Lord!

Indeed, it is.

Incidentally, what is that appearance, Lord Veldora?

This is a medium Rimuru made for me!

What do you think? Cool, isn't it?

-Yes, it is very cool. -You think so?

Now it all makes sense!

When you first showed up in front of us,

it was right after Lord Veldora disappeared.

I kept it a secret.

I thought it would take over 100 years until I could release Veldora,

and who knows what others would do if they knew about it.

Indeed.

Lord Rimuru!

We're already done with the preparation for the banquet.

Okay.

Everyone!

A lot of things happened, but let's all forget about it today

and eat, drink, and have fun!

Let's celebrate the fact that we are all alive right now!

Everyone partied hard that night like they were in a festival.

We celebrated Veldora's revival and reunion with those we once lost.

-Take that! -Take that!

I received a blow!

Then I rotated my body and delivered a punch from behind!

It's almost done!

Why am I here too?

Please taste Shion's cooking together with me.

Don't get me involved!

It might miraculously taste delicious!

Miracles don't happen that easily!

Sorry for the wait!

Enjoy!

Please don't hold back and enjoy!

Shion, do you understand the definition of cooking?

Of course, I do, Lord Rimuru!

What do you think? It looks delicious, right?

Why is the onion not peeled and still has its roots?

The tomato still has its stem too!

Pull them, cut them, and peel them. There's a lot you have to do with it!

Well, if I try to process the ingredients,

I might end up cutting it alongside the building.

What? Not the cooking table but the building?

Yes.

My sword, Gorikimaru, can cut really well, but it's a bit too long.

So you cook with that?

Yes!

When I was little, I thought nothing was impossible.

But it seems like I was mistaken.

Why do you look so calm?

A sword is not a cooking utensil, do you understand?

Can't you use a kitchen knife or at least a regular knife?

Gorikimaru is my one and only tool.

Cheating is not an option.

Oh, I see.

And I was thinking of giving you a kitchen knife as a present later.

I've been mistaken! It's all my misunderstanding!

Gorikimaru said he's okay with a little bit of cheating!

I see. Well, then use a kitchen knife to cook next time, okay?

Yes!

This cooking...

Well, I'm not sure if you can even call it one.

If you eat this every day, of course, you would develop poison resistance.

I've evolved into a Demon Lord!

I shouldn't die just from eating someone's cooking!

-It's delicious! -It's delicious!

Why does it taste so delicious despite how terrible it looks?

What is happening?

Actually, when I came back to life,

I acquired a new skill with the Gift I received.

-What? -A Unique Skill called "Master Chef!"

Master...

Chef?

With this skill, whatever I cook will taste just as I want it to be.

I see. Thank goodness.

Don't you think so, Benimaru?

Yes.

Now I can go through this without dying.

Well then, let's eat!

Yes!

It looks terrible, but it does taste good.

-Good. -Yes, it is!

It looks terrible, though!

Feel free to ask for seconds!

-We have enough! -What?

We learned something important that day.

The food's appearance is also important.

Everyone, I'm sure you already know him, but let me introduce him once again.

This man is Diablo, he saved me when I was in trouble.

He's a newcomer, but he's quite strong and dependable.

So I'll have him work as my second secretary.

I wish you all can get along with him.

I'll greatly appreciate your further guidance and encouragement.

Everyone, nice to be with you.

Teach him the ropes for me.

Understood.

-And, Gabiru. -Yes?

The development division is in your care starting today.

It will only be for the time being, but now you're an executive.

-What? -I'll be counting on you.

I promise you that I, Gabiru, shall give it my all to fulfill my duty!

-All right! -Lord Gabiru!

Good.

So now I would like to tell you guys my plan going forward.

It also has something to do with the Three Beastketeers and Youm.

-So I want you guys to listen too. -We'll follow what you say, Lord Rimuru.

It has something to do with rescuing Lord Carrion, I believe?

Yes.

I had decided to become a Demon Lord.

Yes!

Like I said, a Demon Lord.

Yes!

Demon Lord...

And you've become one.

No, I mean I'm planning to announce to the world that I'm also a Demon Lord.

Oh, so you mean you want to pick a fight with the other Demon Lords?

Yes, precisely!

To other Demon Lords, but to be precise,

Clayman.

Really?

I see.

So you're planning to take his Demon Lord position.

Interesting.

That's right.

The one behind this whole thing is Demon Lord Clayman.

I have no intention to forgive Clayman.

So I told everyone my plan.

The cleanup of Farmus Kingdom.

The need to check the Western Holy Church's movement.

And Demon Lord Carrion's rescue that we promised

the people of the Beast Kingdom.

-Rigurd. -Yes?

You handle the negotiation with the western countries.

My pleasure! Just leave it to me, Lord Rimuru!

-Benimaru. -Yes?

Compile a report of everyone's evolutionary changes.

To crush Clayman with full force, we need to know how much power we have.

Understood, Lord Rimuru.

-Shion. -Yes?

Go and interrogate the POWs.

Leave it to me, Lord Rimuru.

Listen. Don't overdo it, okay?

Rest assured.

That would be great, though...

-Youm. Myulan. -Yes?

Help Shion for me.

Get as much inside information about Farmus from them.

Let's snatch their country!

Just leave it to me, Lord Rimuru.

It will be my country, after all.

Yes.

Three Beastketeers, I would like to request your cooperation as well.

It will be our greatest pleasure, Lord of the Jura Forest.

Just say anything, we will follow your every command.

Okay.

Take a rest and build your strength for the decisive battle to come!

-Yes, sir. -Yes!

Mr. Rimuru!

We've arrived in accordance with the Blumund and Tempest security treaty!

Fuze!

I saw many have fallen throughout town.

Darn Farmus, how dare they...

What? Well, they're not lying dead, they're just sleeping...

It's not much but I brought in 50 fully armed men.

All of them are fully prepared.

It seems like Farmus' main army hasn't arrived.

The king of Blumund promised me that he'll send his knights...

Hey, Fuze. Please pause for a moment.

Oh, my apologies.

-Do you already have a strategy planned? -Well, actually...

A strategy...

Well, rather than a strategy...

Is it something to keep secret from us?

It's not about that.

You see, Fuze...

We appreciate your help, but it's already over.

What? Over? What do you mean?

What just ended?

Well, I'm not sure how to say this.

In short, to put it simply, I killed all of them already.

Killed what?

The entire Farmus army!

All of them are already dead!

That's right.

Yes.

Yes.

What...

I understand how you feel.

Why don't you go to the hot spring and rest for now? Okay?

Take the soldiers to the inn and have them relax.

They have gone to all the trouble to come here, so be kind to them.

-Yes! -Come on, let's go.

Wait. Can we at least talk a bit...

What? Another visitor?

Visitor?

Not to mention...

Report. Thirty mounted troops approaching confirmed.

They are led by the king of the Armed Nation Dwargon.

Individual Gazel Dwargo confirmed.

-Hey, Raphael. -Yes?

It's a pain to hear reports every time someone comes,

can you please just make it brief?

Brief?

Just tell me when something hostile approaches, okay?

Understood.

It's been a while, Rimuru.

I heard you've become a Demon Lord.

Yes, a lot happened.

To be frank, it's a hassle.

But we're having a meeting to discuss what to do from now on.

Perfect timing. Let me participate in that meeting.

What?

What?

When did they get here? My Universal Detect didn't detect them?

Report.

No clear hostility was detected from that group.

Oh, because I said it was a pain a while ago.

I'm sorry! I'll be counting on your report from now on as well!

Okay, Raphael?

Who are you people?

Well, if it isn't the underground dweller.

Nonetheless, the emperor himself.

This is surprising.

To find a coward like you trying to side with a Demon Lord.

Oh, it's you.

The descendant of silly elves, obsessed with high places.

What makes you leave your homeland embraced by the sacred tree?

No.

That body, if I guess correctly...

Yes, it's an artificial human.

Created with a homunculus.

One ought to be cautious when trying to approach a Demon Lord.

Oh, a successful homunculus indistinguishable from a human.

Maybe I should ask them to teach me how to make one.

They are envoys from the Sorcerer's Dynasty Sarion.

You're still the same as always, Erald.

Same goes for you, Gazel.

So this person over here...

Hello, nice to meet you. I'm Rimuru, the lord of this forest.

Let's get along...

What?

So it's you?

You bastard!

Are you the Demon Lord who bewitched my daughter?

What?

You better be prepared!

'O, flame, burn, explode, rage.

Gather and burst, tyrannize everything...

Hey! What is this old man doing all of a sudden?

Report. That is a high-level fire explosion magic formula.

Why is he doing that so suddenly?

'O, flame, burn, explode, rage.

Gather and burst, tyrannize everything...

You giant moron!

-Hey, Dad! What are you here for? -What?

Oh, Eren! You're safe!

Of course, I'm safe! I came here out of my own will!

Well...

Sorry about that.

I got a report that my daughter was kidnapped by a Demon Lord,

so I couldn't resist but to hurry my way here.

Couldn't resist, my ass.

You're as overly doting as ever, Erald.

I'm not overly doting.

Eren is cute, so it can't be helped.

In general, that's what you call...

No, whatever I say to you, it's pointless.

Rimuru, this person is my father,

the archduke of the Sorcerer's Dynasty Sarion, Erald Grimwald.

Lord of the Great Jura Forest and the leader of monsters,

like what my daughter, Elyune, just told you,

my name is Erald Grimwald.

-Please call me Erald. -Okay.

I knew her parents were nobles,

but not even I expected it would be someone this important.

So did you come all the way here just to inquire about Eren?

Of course not.

Thought so.

I want to ascertain with my own eyes

just what kind of person is the one my daughter has grown so fond of.

And if you don't mind, I'll also join your meeting today.

Why do people like them keep coming here like this?

With that,

the important meeting to determine Tempest's next movement begins.

Next time, "Man-and-Monster Summit."
