Kingdom of Seltrozzo
Good work.
I am Maribel Rozzo.
I was born the princess of Seltrozzo,
the small nation that holds control over the Western Nations.
Almost ten years old...
Still ten years old...
I was reincarnated.
In my previous life, I was the daughter of a high noble.
Talent, effort, fortune...
I had it all on my side,
and before I knew it, I was ruling all of Europe behind the scenes.
The fact that I was a woman didn't detract anything from my position.
It's all in the way you do things.
I used every means available to me to control the flow of money
and even used war as just another pawn in my game.
I built my prosperity upon every kind of fortune and misfortune...
and lived happily in the world I ran from the shadows.
And then, I reached the end of my life span.
I am Eriola. I will serve as the princess's wet nurse starting today.
It's an honor to make your acquaintance.
Go on and say hello to Maribel, too.
Hello, Your Highness.
It's an honor to meet... you...
Go on. Pick her up.
Of course.
Take good care of Maribel.
We'll be counting on you.
Yes. I would give my life for her.
I was born with the unique skill Greed.
Isn't she adorable?
Yes.
But she never smiles.
She'll start to smile in time.
Yes, you're right.
The world I reincarnated into was far different from the one I came from.
It had magic and "skills."
My skill, Greed, allowed me to manipulate the greed of other living things.
And the greater my target's greed is,
the easier they are to control.
I was born the strongest of all.
Hmm?
Oh, that's Lord Granville's room.
It's rare for even us,
his direct descendants, to earn an audience with him.
Are you curious about him?
She smiled!
How adorable!
The forefather of the Rozzo family: Granville Rozzo.
A millennium ago, he brought the nearby nations together to protect the people
and, as the former Hero,
established and led the Council of the West.
I'm... nervous?
Enter.
Pardon me.
So you are Maribel.
Yes.
It is an honor to meet you, Grandfather.
Why did you not attempt to control me?
What ever do you mean?
Don't play dumb.
All those around you are already your pawns.
Your siblings, your wet nurse, your servants...
Oh, and your father, the king.
All of them are at your beck and call.
I...
I can see other people's greed.
I can see it.
And by stimulating it, I can control them.
Your ambition is greater than anyone else's,
but I sensed you also have the strength of will to contain it.
That's why.
You could see that much, little girl—
that is, Maribel?
Just who are you?
I am...
Maribel of Greed.
Intriguing.
You so boldly assert yourself before me.
I earned the right to speak with my grandfather.
Maribel, if anything should happen to me,
I want you to carry on my ambition.
My wish is for peace in this world.
Let us create a world where all humans are equal
under the rule of the Rozzo family.
Yes.
And I...
will one day rule this world, too.
That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime Season 4
Episode 75: The Avatar Team Is Formed
Something's there!
Huh?!
Wh-What the heck?
Taste my fatal strike!
Huh?!
That hurt! Why are you getting in my way?!
Wh-What are you talking about?!
You're the one who showed up out of nowhere and got in my way!
Ow...
A-Are you okay?!
Wh-Why'd a trap go off?!
I didn't step on it!
These guys...
...are wimps.
Get 'em!
H-Hey!
Wait! Wait! Wait!
Man, those guys are such jerks!
Have they no concept of restraint?!
This is your fault for charging in without thinking!
W-Well, what was I supposed to do?!
Ramiris.
I don't mind you being our charge commander...
but do you realize what I just went through because of you?!
S-Sorry, Master.
If we're pointing fingers here, you're the one who sliced me!
Y-Yeah, but that was...
I guess just charging in blindly is a bad idea.
We're no match for Green Fury at this rate!
What do we do, Rimuru?!
Well, our avatars are still pretty low-level monsters.
Right, then!
Kurobe, you here?
Great Rimuru!
It's Great Rimuru!
Welcome, Great Rimuru!
Th-Thanks. There's a lot more of you now...
Hey, you lot!
Get back to work once you're done greeting him!
Yes, sir!
So what brings you all here today?
Well, the thing is, we were hoping to gear up just a bit.
Here, check this out first.
Possess!
Oh, my, look at that.
I see. So you want gear made for monsters.
Yeah, and we want you guys to make it!
You got it!
We'll make you the best stuff you could ask for!
Damn right! Can't wait to get started!
Okay, ready?
What we need here is teamwork.
Ramiris charging in blindly is a problem,
but Veldora and Milim, you need to remember that we're a team.
Teamwork, eh?
I confess I have little experience with that.
Same here.
Yeah, they were the toughest around as solo acts.
Anyway! What we need is training!
Let's pick on the newbies on the early floors until our gear's ready.
What a cruel thing to suggest.
And so our days of training began!
{Overlapping dialog here}
You're wide open!
{Should we put anything here? Maybe a "One, two... One, two..."?}
And then, at last...
Let's go! Remember: teamwork!
Right!
I lure them in...
I stop their movement...
And once there's an opening...
The finishing strike!
We were strong enough to take out boss monsters!
This is fun!
I really am a genius!
There is nothing I cannot cut.
Well, the real show is yet to come for you guys.
Um...
You are... Great Rimuru... right?
Oh! Mjöllmile-kun!
Sorry I look like this.
Something going on?
Well...
it appears Team Green Fury is about to reach floor 49.
Do it!
They still have that prudent combat style.
Yes, they efficiently wear down the enemy's stamina
while never breaking their own formation.
They might be more of a problem than I thought.
If only we knew their level...
Suggestion
Suggestion.
With permission to interfere
Mazecraft
in the Mazecraft of the individual called Ramiris, I can do it.
I can do it.
For real?!
Ramiris, I'd like to interfere in your Mazecraft. Is that okay?
Huh? Sure, but do you really want to?
That's a lot of information.
Not a problem. Do it!
Okay! Here we go!
Commencing information gathering.

I see.
Huh? You're done already?
Did you find anything out?
Yeah.
This one, the leader, is above A-rank.
Several of the others are around rank A, too.
What?!
S-So what do we do?!
Playing fair and square isn't gonna cut it.
Floor 49 is all about traps.
We'll have to wait for them at the final battleground.
It sucks that our gear wasn't ready in time, but...
What're ya talkin' about, Great Rimuru?
The gear made specially for avatars...
...is done!
You're the best ever!
Heavy Living Armor
Class: Berserker
Equipment: Death Axe/Heavy Full Plate
Slime
Class: Assassin
Equipment: Death Pickaxe/Crimson Cape
Skeleton
Class: Fighter
Equipment: Death Bastard/ Hell Mail/Gate Shield
Ghost
Class: Sorcerer
Equipment: Death Scythe/Hell Clothes
Off to the final battleground!
What is with this floor?
Slimes?
Captain! They're behind us, too!
My clothes!
It's raining acid!
Simple Barrier!
Cut through!
Captain Ayn, are you okay?
I couldn't be worse.
All these traps are nasty.
Damn! My sword...
What happened?!
He's dead.
There's a scar on the back of his neck.
Where did—
Too slow, slowpokes!
So the theme of this floor is slimes.
Wh-What?!
This is our latest...
...surefire win tactic!
What the hell?!
If slimes are the theme, attack us with slimes!
In that case...
I shall grant your wish.
A ghost now?!
Oh, yeah. I'm a ghost right now.
I don't know what you're babbling about, but no ghost can—
Sorry, but that's a slime pool.
I'm gonna take this opportunity to try something.
I've been wondering whether I'd be able to use holy magic
if my faith was in myself.
Gods, lend me your strength!
Holy Ray!
So I can use it.
We did it! We finally did it!
Total victory!
I see.
So that's what it means to borrow the gods' power.
Instead of giving users the specific things they ask for,
the gods themselves do the computations.
Not only that, but using the brains
of all those holy magic users can expand a god's computational range.
God's intelligence increased
Hey, Rimuru, don't look so lost in thought.
We won!
Oh...
You're right. Sorry about that.
The truth is, I just wanted to enjoy the dungeon we all built together.
But I'll keep that to myself.
Anyway, Team Green Fury, huh?
Which noble is...
Damn it! After we got so far!
We were out of time.
It was a good stopping point.
Well, we did get summoned back.
Let's go.
What? Demon Lord Rimuru figured out our plan?
As one who invested in the guild, I was hoping for better news,
Grandmaster Yuuki Kagurazaka.
I do apologize for that.
I left no evidence, though.
In that case, why not simply use your eloquence to get out of it?
Lord Granville has said that Demon Lord Rimuru is in his way.
Do you think you can defeat him?
Well, he has the Storm Dragon himself on his side.
No mere human stands a chance against him.
I want a clear answer.
A-Ah, Maribel!
Where is Lord Granville?
I came on my own today.
But more importantly, answer the question.
If you took it seriously, could you defeat Demon Lord Rimuru?
Even Hinata couldn't pull it off.
I think I'd struggle against him in battle.
Although... that would depend on the conditions.
You mean if we got Demon Lord Rimuru alone, he could be ostracized?
The real problem here is the Storm Dragon.
It would be foolish to poke at the bush and scare out a snake.
We could try to win him over,
before Tempest grows in value and becomes a bigger obstacle.
Demon Lord Rimuru wished for coexistence with humans.
Yes.
He has a thing about human societies, you know.
He wants to make it clear that Tempest is safe because they follow human rules.
Then I will grant his wish for him.
And I will color it with my Greed.
The unique skill: Greed.
With my power,
I can interfere with anyone's greed and use it to control them.
I can brainwash them over time through frequent conversations,
or I can rapidly inject my own greed into them
and destroy their egos, turning them into puppets.
But ruling people too forcefully brings risks.
If I'm up against someone strong,
they could catch on before I'm able to take control.
I'll need to find a way to control Demon Lord Rimuru safely.
I'll try lots of different things to figure it out.
If the worst comes to pass, I have a trump card.
How very scary!
The very idea of controlling a Demon Lord!
Oh, but those I control are very happy.
The same goes for Yuuki there.
Yuuki's ambition is too great.
The only reason he hasn't been crushed by it is because I'm controlling him.
He can't lie.
He can't defy me.
Even when I talk about controlling him right in front of him,
he isn't even capable of suspecting me.
My control is flawless.
I will write an invitation for Demon Lord Rimuru.
I'll invite him to the Council and gauge his reactions.
The cleanup is nearly finished.
A Certain City in the Western Nations
I lost everything.
All because I underestimated Demon Lord Rimuru.
I'll start over.
I'll be reborn.
In a peaceful land where money means nothing!
What?
How in the world...
Invitation
