00:15.230 --> 00:15.930
Gene!

00:17.190 --> 00:18.590
He died.

00:20.310 --> 00:22.680
I'm in the best shape ever!

00:23.200 --> 00:26.790
That speed... 
Is that Scarlet, the Red Meteor?!

00:26.400 --> 00:28.310
<b>The Red Meteor</b>

00:30.050 --> 00:31.980
Blowing wind,

00:32.340 --> 00:34.740
become a tornado and rend my foes asunder.

00:34.740 --> 00:36.860
That incantation...

00:36.860 --> 00:40.720
They say no one lays eyes on 
those flames and returns alive!

00:40.720 --> 00:41.990
The Blue Reaper...

00:41.990 --> 00:43.140
Blue Death!

00:43.140 --> 00:44.510
Rage, winds!

00:44.510 --> 00:46.290
Tornado Blade!

00:48.420 --> 00:50.920

00:51.840 --> 00:53.630
Marja! Narja!

00:53.630 --> 00:56.430
Damn it! They were after 
our rear guard all along?!

00:56.430 --> 00:57.610
You'll pay for that!

00:59.210 --> 01:00.680
What's that?!

01:08.450 --> 01:09.220
Shit!

01:09.220 --> 01:10.650
You're open.

01:10.650 --> 01:12.190
Wide open!

01:13.570 --> 01:16.110
You let your guard down, fools.

01:16.110 --> 01:18.860
<b>The Laughing Golden Skull</b>

01:16.110 --> 01:18.860

01:20.270 --> 01:21.800
After we made it this far...

01:23.610 --> 01:27.250
Do you think you can escape us?

01:28.510 --> 01:33.630
Th-The rare items we busted 
our asses collecting...

01:36.710 --> 01:37.580
<i>Notice.</i>

01:37.580 --> 01:39.360

03:11.730 --> 03:16.730
<b>Episode 76: Invitation</b>

03:14.040 --> 03:16.730
All these small fry are 
not enough to satiate me!

03:16.730 --> 03:18.670
You can say that again!

03:18.670 --> 03:21.280
We're invincible! The strongest around!

03:21.280 --> 03:24.730
Those wimps were no match for us!

03:24.730 --> 03:27.290
Hey, now. Don't go getting cocky.

03:27.290 --> 03:29.040
This is work, remember?

03:29.320 --> 03:30.640
R-Right.

03:30.640 --> 03:32.410
Of course I remember.

03:32.660 --> 03:36.470
That said... how about one more hunt?

03:36.470 --> 03:37.920
Hell yeah!

03:45.980 --> 03:48.140
<i>Ever since that whole thing 
with Team Green Fury,</i>

03:48.530 --> 03:51.140
<i>we've spent our days hunting 
down challengers—</i>

03:51.140 --> 03:52.640
<i>I mean, training hard.</i>

03:54.020 --> 03:57.230
<i>Green Fury could always come 
back for revenge, after all.</i>

03:59.020 --> 04:01.460
<i>With the excellent 
management of the dungeon,</i>

04:01.460 --> 04:04.070
<i>the city is now full of life.</i>

04:04.880 --> 04:08.580
<i>Masayuki is doing an amazing job 
advertising the dungeon for us.</i>

04:09.330 --> 04:11.580
<i>He must've been blessed by 
the god of real-life luck,</i>

04:11.580 --> 04:15.010
<i>because he found the full 
set of rare gear in no time.</i>

04:15.910 --> 04:20.090
<i>His party is now riding on that 
momentum to take on floor 50.</i>

04:22.380 --> 04:25.840
<i>And as a result of our edited broadcast</i>

04:25.840 --> 04:28.350
<i>of the efforts put in by 
him and so many others,</i>

04:28.350 --> 04:31.440
<i>dungeon challengers are 
way more fired up.</i>

04:33.600 --> 04:35.420
<i>Some seek power.</i>

04:35.420 --> 04:37.200
<i>Some seek fame.</i>

04:37.630 --> 04:41.610
<i>And there are far more talented 
challengers than before.</i>

04:41.950 --> 04:45.490
<i>And the ones who block 
their path... are us!</i>

04:45.870 --> 04:46.790
Look at that!

04:46.790 --> 04:47.990
There they are!

04:48.250 --> 04:50.990
The Dungeon Dominators!

04:54.900 --> 04:57.250
<i>The game should be just 
hard enough, y'know?</i>

04:57.910 --> 05:00.210
<i>We're not just playing around! Honest!</i>

05:01.960 --> 05:04.490
It just doesn't feel like enough!

05:04.490 --> 05:07.220
Aren't there any tougher opponents for us?

05:07.600 --> 05:09.700
C'mon, don't rush things.

05:09.700 --> 05:11.520
Once the dungeon's reputation spreads,

05:11.520 --> 05:14.310
it'll get more and more tough challengers.

05:14.310 --> 05:17.350
We must train more and grow stronger!

05:19.360 --> 05:22.440
Great Rimuru, you've returned.

05:23.060 --> 05:25.820
There's a guest here to see you.

05:25.820 --> 05:27.650
I was just coming to get you.

05:28.580 --> 05:29.700
A guest?

05:30.210 --> 05:33.070
I see Lady Milim was with you.

05:33.070 --> 05:34.290
That's perfect!

05:34.700 --> 05:36.200
It is?

05:41.280 --> 05:44.000
I've come to pay a visit, Great Rimuru.

05:44.750 --> 05:46.090
Frey-san!

05:47.080 --> 05:49.970
Um, what brings you here today?

05:50.260 --> 05:53.510
Oh, it's nothing of great importance.

05:53.510 --> 05:56.520
Why, Milim! So this is where you've been!

05:57.740 --> 06:01.610
Come to think of it, I believe 
I assigned you some homework.

06:02.060 --> 06:03.610
Have you finished it?

06:03.900 --> 06:07.610
<i>She's been skiving off her 
actual job to goof off with us?</i>

06:07.880 --> 06:09.490
Y-You have it all wrong!

06:09.490 --> 06:12.010
There's a very good reason for this!

06:13.090 --> 06:14.140
Oh?

06:15.480 --> 06:19.750
The one I sent along to watch you seems 
to have gotten rolled up in something.

06:20.120 --> 06:23.170
Can you give me a convincing 
reason for that?

06:24.380 --> 06:27.580
W-Well... I was with 
Rimuru and the others...

06:27.580 --> 06:31.780
Hey, come on! You should've 
told us you had work to do!

06:31.780 --> 06:34.680
Sorry we dragged you along 
without realizing that.

06:34.680 --> 06:36.790
If only you had told us!

06:36.790 --> 06:39.270
I can't believe you guys!

06:42.100 --> 06:44.260
Frey, it's not like that!

06:44.260 --> 06:46.440
Please, just hear me out!

06:47.620 --> 06:50.570
Oh, but of course I will.

06:52.280 --> 06:56.800
You can take your time 
explaining back home.

07:03.460 --> 07:07.620
Phew. We managed to stay out of trouble.

07:07.620 --> 07:10.030
That was some fine teamwork!

07:10.030 --> 07:11.780
The best ever, I'd say!

07:11.780 --> 07:12.680
Yep!

07:12.680 --> 07:15.010
Incidentally, Great Rimuru...

07:15.310 --> 07:18.700
What have you been doing 
all this time, and where?

07:20.060 --> 07:22.680
Well, research, of course! Research!

07:22.680 --> 07:26.650
I've been observing the combat styles 
of dungeon challengers on-site!

07:27.000 --> 07:28.320
On-site?

07:28.980 --> 07:30.030
You mean...

07:30.680 --> 07:34.030
you've just been horsing 
around in the dungeon?

07:34.890 --> 07:36.590
<i>Sh-She's sharp!</i>

07:37.280 --> 07:40.110
I think I'll go study magic in my room.

07:40.110 --> 07:43.080
I think I'll join you.

07:43.540 --> 07:45.050
<i>Sorry, Milim.</i>

07:45.050 --> 07:48.500
<i>Now I see how infuriating it is 
when your friends play dumb on you!</i>

07:48.850 --> 07:49.670
<i>Notice.</i>

07:48.960 --> 07:49.670
<b>Notice</b>

07:49.670 --> 07:51.720
<i>There is no need to make excuses.</i>

07:50.010 --> 07:51.720
<b>Excuses</b>

07:50.890 --> 07:51.800
<b>No Need</b>

07:52.260 --> 07:55.010
<i>Simply be open and unashamed, 
and problems will resolve themselves.</i>

07:52.340 --> 07:55.010
<b>Open and Unashamed</b>

07:53.630 --> 07:55.010
<b>Problems will resolve themselves.</b>

07:55.330 --> 07:57.330
<i>Huh? What do you mean?</i>

07:57.330 --> 07:59.770
Great Rimuru!

07:59.770 --> 08:02.550
Phew! So this is where you were!

08:02.550 --> 08:03.520
Mjöllmile?

08:03.520 --> 08:06.900
You've received a letter from the Council.

08:07.180 --> 08:11.030
I believe it's a request
for your attendance

08:11.030 --> 08:13.400
at a meeting to decide Council membership.

08:13.400 --> 08:17.660
I see. I figured I'd be getting 
one of these pretty soon.

08:17.660 --> 08:19.900
What do you mean?

08:19.900 --> 08:22.730
I suspected Green Fury
was a team of scouts

08:22.730 --> 08:25.360
sent by the Council to investigate us.

08:25.360 --> 08:28.170
I've been investigating them, too.

08:28.670 --> 08:34.170
<i>Except Raphael-sensei did it all 
while we were playing around.</i>

08:30.090 --> 08:34.170
<b>Research Subject 01 
Green Fury

08:30.090 --> 08:34.170

<b>Research Subject 03

08:32.970 --> 08:34.170
<b>All investigations complete.</b>

08:34.520 --> 08:36.460
I'm so sorry.

08:36.460 --> 08:40.430
I was convinced you were just 
goofing off with Lady Milim.

08:40.810 --> 08:44.430
It's all good. I can't blame 
you for thinking that.

08:51.090 --> 08:53.580
<i>I managed to get out of 
that thanks to good timing.</i>

08:53.580 --> 08:56.650
<i>Still, even if I do have Raphael-sensei,</i>

08:56.650 --> 09:00.450
<i>it's true that I got caught up in the 
fun and neglected my other duties.</i>

09:00.780 --> 09:03.080
<i>I should really take things in moderation.</i>

09:04.030 --> 09:08.500
Wait, weren't you doing your 
investigations until just now?

09:10.010 --> 09:14.580
Then what were you investigating 
after Green Fury left?

09:17.350 --> 09:18.640
Great Rimuru?

09:19.530 --> 09:23.330
<i>R-Raphael-sensei?! The problem 
didn't resolve itself!</i>

09:23.890 --> 09:27.100
<i>It is resolved if you reflect on 
your actions after being scolded.</i>

09:32.240 --> 09:34.980
<i>Y-You gotta be kidding me...</i>

09:42.470 --> 09:44.490
<i>For a civilization to develop,</i>

09:45.370 --> 09:47.600
<i>it needs currency.</i>

09:49.610 --> 09:54.000
<i>This has been true since the days 
when grains were used as money.</i>

09:54.000 --> 09:57.510
<i>Over time, things like 
gold and silver took over,</i>

09:57.990 --> 10:02.640
<i>and economics became dominated by 
the exchange of contracts and deeds.</i>

10:04.810 --> 10:09.010
<i>Through the Council, 
the Western Nations also moved toward</i>

10:09.010 --> 10:13.920
<i>becoming a banknote economy,
utilizing the currency of each nation.</i>

10:15.120 --> 10:16.540
<i>Most crucial to this change is</i>

10:16.540 --> 10:20.400
<i>setting things up for exchange rates that 
fluctuate based on each nation's power,</i>

10:21.080 --> 10:24.360
<i>and for us to be the 
ones making the rules.</i>

10:25.670 --> 10:29.950
<i>Otherwise, we cannot assure our victory.</i>

10:35.610 --> 10:40.130
<i>It is the Council and the Five Elders 
that determine each nation's power.</i>

10:41.550 --> 10:44.700
<i>And the one who controls them...</i>

10:45.540 --> 10:47.060
<i>is me.</i>

10:48.550 --> 10:52.120
<i>At all times, the one in control is me.</i>

10:59.260 --> 11:01.300
<i>The Council of the West</i>

11:02.890 --> 11:08.780
<i>is a confederation of nations 
surrounding the Great Forest of Jura.</i>

11:04.870 --> 11:09.500
Kingdom of Engrassia: Council of the West Headquarters

11:10.020 --> 11:12.830
<i>The Council's goal is the prosperity</i>

11:12.830 --> 11:17.000
<i>of humanity as a whole, 
whether their nation is great or small.</i>

11:17.490 --> 11:20.760
<i>At the top of their agenda 
are anti-monster measures,</i>

11:20.760 --> 11:23.940
<i>followed by measures against disasters 
such as drought and epidemics,</i>

11:23.940 --> 11:25.250
<i>among many others.</i>

11:27.000 --> 11:29.460
<i>And the current item on their agenda</i>

11:29.460 --> 11:34.010
<i>is the pros and cons of allowing Tempest, 
a nation of monsters, to join them.</i>

11:34.790 --> 11:38.190
I feel Tempest can be trusted.

11:38.190 --> 11:41.090
But if we anger their Demon Lord,

11:41.090 --> 11:43.200
won't he sic the Storm Dragon on us?

11:43.460 --> 11:45.360
No need to worry.

11:45.360 --> 11:47.700
He's just borrowing the Storm Dragon's 
authority to bully others.

11:47.700 --> 11:50.790
I'm sure the Demon Lord 
himself is not so powerful.

11:51.310 --> 11:56.040
Then how do you explain his battle 
with Lady Hinata ending in a draw?

11:56.040 --> 11:59.590
Can we really believe that story?

11:59.590 --> 12:00.800
He's right.

12:00.800 --> 12:03.430
Where'd that intel even come from?

12:03.430 --> 12:06.800
<i>I'm amazed they can talk like this 
while I'm sitting right here.</i>

12:07.460 --> 12:11.840
<i>I came here because they invited me as 
someone acquainted with Demon Lord Rimuru,</i>

12:11.840 --> 12:15.510
<i>but even I didn't expect a gathering of 
incompetents to be this unproductive.</i>

12:17.190 --> 12:20.120
<i>This is nothing like the meeting 
I attended in Tempest...</i>

12:21.380 --> 12:24.570
<i>though I suppose that was an exception.</i>

12:24.870 --> 12:26.330
Listen to me!

12:26.330 --> 12:31.120
Demon Lord Rimuru declared the Great 
Forest of Jura to be his own domain!

12:31.120 --> 12:34.620
Think carefully about what that means!

12:34.620 --> 12:36.330
Indeed.

12:36.330 --> 12:38.370
Ever since Tempest was founded,

12:38.370 --> 12:42.170
damage caused by monsters has decreased 
in each of our home countries.

12:42.500 --> 12:45.930
You can't be serious! You've all 
been deceived by the Demon Lord!

12:46.320 --> 12:48.630
We're talking about the 
king of all monsters!

12:47.880 --> 12:52.190
<i>Well, someone who knows nothing 
of Demon Lord Rimuru's disposition</i>

12:48.630 --> 12:51.150
It'll be too late to act 
once he's bitten us!

12:52.190 --> 12:56.530
<i>could never determine whether or 
not he'll do good for humanity.</i>

12:57.810 --> 13:01.940
<i>But even more troubling are the 
councilors from the larger nations.</i>

13:02.630 --> 13:07.290
<i>Tempest's addition to the Council 
would be great for me, but...</i>

13:09.820 --> 13:12.100
Why don't we just allow it?

13:12.100 --> 13:16.330
If they say they will join us, 
we should welcome them.

13:16.330 --> 13:17.610
However...

13:17.610 --> 13:20.340
perhaps we should request 
a gift in return.

13:20.340 --> 13:22.200
Good idea.

13:22.200 --> 13:25.380
Fighting them would just result 
in a repeat of Falmuth.

13:25.380 --> 13:29.140
Still, we need them to 
remember their place.

13:29.140 --> 13:33.270
We must know if they truly intend 
to uphold our international rules.

13:33.590 --> 13:35.890
I don't foresee any problem there.

13:35.890 --> 13:39.720
You've heard the rumors about 
Duke Muese's downfall, no?

13:39.720 --> 13:44.030
Does it really matter what 
Demon Lord Rimuru may be planning?

13:44.030 --> 13:48.890
All that really matters is 
whether or not we can use him.

13:48.890 --> 13:50.780
Precisely.

13:51.130 --> 13:53.480
Given the recent activities of the East,

13:53.480 --> 13:57.410
we have no reason to deprive ourselves 
of the military might of a Demon Lord.

13:57.720 --> 13:59.400
The East?!

13:59.400 --> 14:01.210
You don't mean the Eastern Empire?!

14:01.690 --> 14:04.320
Lord Rostia, is this true?

14:04.880 --> 14:07.150
As I'm sure you're all aware,

14:07.150 --> 14:08.810
the Eastern Empire—

14:08.810 --> 14:12.260
the Nasca Namrium Ulmeria 
United Eastern Empire—

14:12.260 --> 14:14.310
has mobilized its military.

14:14.740 --> 14:18.810
Word has it they have begun 
enthusiastic military exercises.

14:19.210 --> 14:20.650
The Empire?

14:20.650 --> 14:22.560
But why now?

14:23.010 --> 14:27.540
They are a military state that has 
greedily absorbed many other nations!

14:27.540 --> 14:30.950
What will become of us if war breaks out?!

14:30.950 --> 14:31.680
That's right!

14:31.680 --> 14:32.930
If that happens...

14:32.930 --> 14:34.410
Will there be a war?!

14:34.410 --> 14:36.030
Calm down!

14:36.030 --> 14:39.710
No one is saying the Empire 
will act immediately.

14:39.710 --> 14:42.300
How can we be calm right now?!

14:42.300 --> 14:44.110
Now that the Kingdom of Falmuth is gone,

14:44.110 --> 14:48.760
small nations like ours stand 
no chance in a defensive battle!

14:48.760 --> 14:53.730
Which is why we should use this 
opportunity to discuss our plan.

14:53.730 --> 14:54.720
But...

14:54.980 --> 14:58.220
Councilor Johann is absolutely right.

14:58.220 --> 15:00.730
Just calm down a bit.

15:01.300 --> 15:03.770
What's the point of 
a council if we're all just

15:03.770 --> 15:05.980
throwing our own opinions at each other?

15:06.470 --> 15:09.340
Thank you, Councilor Gaban.

15:09.340 --> 15:14.240
Personally, I don't think the Empire will 
make their move any time soon.

15:14.580 --> 15:17.630
The reason they haven't attacked yet

15:17.630 --> 15:21.930
is because the Great Forest 
of Jura had its Storm Dragon.

15:21.930 --> 15:25.250
And now the Storm Dragon 
is back, is he not?

15:25.570 --> 15:29.510
Are you saying we should 
rely on the Evil Dragon?

15:30.040 --> 15:31.850
Have you all forgotten

15:31.850 --> 15:36.880
that the Storm Dragon is now 
Demon Lord Rimuru's loyal pet?

15:36.880 --> 15:42.520
And now this most honorable personage 
seeks to join our Council.

15:42.520 --> 15:43.940
What?!

15:43.940 --> 15:45.520
He's tamed the Storm Dragon?!

15:44.380 --> 15:45.520
Is that possible?

15:46.240 --> 15:48.420
Councilor Gaban is right.

15:48.420 --> 15:53.780
We should not be fighting when the 
threat of the Empire looms over us.

15:54.200 --> 15:57.440
If Demon Lord Rimuru joins the Council,

15:57.440 --> 16:01.330
the military he commands will save us!

16:01.700 --> 16:03.180
True...

16:03.180 --> 16:06.580
Our first priority should be to 
bring all western nations together.

16:06.580 --> 16:08.860
Absolutely.

16:08.860 --> 16:11.590
I'm in favor of allowing Tempest to join!

16:11.590 --> 16:12.700
As am I!

16:12.700 --> 16:13.590
He's right!

16:13.590 --> 16:16.340
Let's bring Tempest into the fold!

16:17.950 --> 16:19.470
Silence!

16:19.940 --> 16:26.440
We will now vote on whether or not 
to admit Tempest into the Council.

16:26.440 --> 16:28.860
Those in favor, please rise.

16:32.620 --> 16:34.800
The majority stands in favor.

16:34.800 --> 16:40.370
The Jura Tempest Federation is hereby 
recognized as our sworn ally.

16:41.120 --> 16:45.620
A formal invitation will be sent 
to the Jura Tempest Federation.

16:45.970 --> 16:48.920
Once Demon Lord Rimuru's 
intentions are known,

16:48.920 --> 16:51.880
our next meeting will convene.

16:52.440 --> 16:53.440
Dismissed!

17:00.350 --> 17:05.740
<i>In the end, they only invited me to find 
out whether they should fear Rimuru.</i>

17:05.740 --> 17:10.730
<i>They could just ask me to make sure he 
doesn't go on a rampage or anything.</i>

17:10.730 --> 17:12.960
<i>But using the Empire as an excuse...</i>

17:13.530 --> 17:15.360
<i>What a farce that was.</i>

17:17.160 --> 17:20.240
<i>I hope I never have to 
deal with nobles again.</i>

17:21.040 --> 17:22.160
Lady Hinata.

17:25.510 --> 17:29.480
<i>Ugh. The first prince of Engrassia.</i>

17:29.480 --> 17:32.300
<i>He's the last noble I 
ever wanted to deal with.</i>

17:33.800 --> 17:35.800
You have business with me?

17:36.440 --> 17:39.810
I would like a bit of your time.

17:40.460 --> 17:41.990
Would you mind?

17:46.130 --> 17:49.310
And what is it you wish 
to discuss with me?

17:49.700 --> 17:53.630
The truth is, I have 
a favor to ask of you.

17:53.630 --> 17:55.570
At the next meeting,

17:56.030 --> 17:58.820
I would like to give Demon 
Lord Rimuru a little test.

18:01.060 --> 18:04.060
He may be an immensely 
powerful Demon Lord,

18:04.060 --> 18:05.950
but now that he's joining the Council,

18:05.950 --> 18:09.330
he will need to accept the 
obligations that come with it.

18:09.700 --> 18:15.730
We also need to find out just how 
well he will listen to what we say.

18:17.300 --> 18:18.590
I see.

18:18.920 --> 18:20.260
And that...

18:20.620 --> 18:22.870
is where you come in.

18:23.990 --> 18:25.920
As he is a Demon Lord,

18:25.920 --> 18:29.540
we cannot have him going on a rampage.

18:29.540 --> 18:30.770
So I want you...

18:31.470 --> 18:34.270
to serve as my personal guard.

18:36.670 --> 18:38.360
Why me?

18:38.740 --> 18:40.570
What? Wh-Why?

18:42.080 --> 18:46.220
W-Well, because I 
acknowledge your strength!

18:46.220 --> 18:49.730
The strength of the greatest 
Holy Knight Captain in history,

18:49.730 --> 18:53.140
the right hand of God and 
leader of the Master Rooks!

18:53.140 --> 18:56.460
There are none who match you 
in all of the Western Nations!

18:56.460 --> 18:59.750
There are even rumors that you 
tied with Demon Lord Rimuru!

18:59.750 --> 19:02.050
So if you help me,

19:02.050 --> 19:06.060
I will be able to expose 
Demon Lord Rimuru's true colors!

19:07.030 --> 19:12.390
<i>Does this guy even know 
what he's saying to me?</i>

19:13.340 --> 19:15.570
I would advise against that.

19:16.910 --> 19:18.990
He is genuinely strong.

19:19.460 --> 19:23.680
There is no guarantee I would win 
if I were to fight him again.

19:24.610 --> 19:29.650
<i>Not to mention the rumor that 
we tied was spread on purpose.</i>

19:32.250 --> 19:33.950
Lady Hinata.

19:33.950 --> 19:36.380
Though you do sit before Prince Elric,

19:36.380 --> 19:39.300
there is no need to be so modest.

19:39.640 --> 19:43.380
I would even understand if you 
fell for his lovely mask—

19:43.380 --> 19:45.260
I respectfully decline.

19:46.730 --> 19:51.250
The Western Holy Church and 
the Holy Empire of Lubelius

19:51.250 --> 19:54.850
both have a mutual non-aggression 
pact with Tempest.

19:55.210 --> 19:58.130
Also, consider this a warning:

19:58.130 --> 20:00.860
I advise you not to 
anger Demon Lord Rimuru.

20:01.180 --> 20:02.030
What did you say?

20:02.380 --> 20:05.030
A-Are you giving me orders?!

20:07.460 --> 20:12.720
Also, if you wish to make a formal 
request, isn't a procedure to follow?

20:12.720 --> 20:14.330
W-Well...

20:14.970 --> 20:16.330
Please excuse me.

20:20.980 --> 20:22.720
You will regret this, Lady Hinata!

20:24.780 --> 20:29.720
Unfortunately for you, 
I trust Demon Lord Rimuru.

20:39.920 --> 20:44.220
<i>A sloppy plan meant only to piggyback 
on accidental circumstances</i>

20:44.220 --> 20:45.800
<i>will amount to nothing.</i>

20:46.910 --> 20:47.790
<i>Still...</i>

20:49.760 --> 20:56.310
<i>What if someone out there planned 
that discussion and the meeting?</i>

21:00.860 --> 21:03.700
<i>It couldn't be... could it?</i>

21:08.720 --> 21:11.560
Great Rimuru, shall we go now?

21:12.480 --> 21:13.890
Yeah, we shall!

21:16.810 --> 21:17.980
Great Rimuru!

21:17.980 --> 21:19.310
Shion?

21:20.320 --> 21:23.240
Why do I have to stay behind?!

21:23.240 --> 21:27.140
You're taking Shuna and 
the others! It isn't fair!

21:27.140 --> 21:29.950
Oh... Well, the thing is...

21:34.020 --> 21:38.130
Shion, you will not merely stay behind!

21:38.130 --> 21:41.170
Most of Tempest are 
out and about right now.

21:41.620 --> 21:42.690
Which means...

21:42.690 --> 21:46.500
the only one who can protect this 
place is you, my first secretary!

21:48.380 --> 21:50.180
Will you do it?

21:51.020 --> 21:51.930
Of course!

21:54.250 --> 21:59.690
<i>I don't think I can take her 
to a major human city just yet.</i>

22:03.420 --> 22:05.440
Okay, we're all here.

22:06.670 --> 22:08.530
Take care of the place for me, Shion.

22:09.040 --> 22:11.530
I will! Travel safely!

22:13.060 --> 22:14.160
Let's go!

22:22.540 --> 22:24.920
To the Council!

23:55.180 --> 23:57.760
<i>Next time, "The First Step."</i>

23:55.810 --> 23:59.890
<b>The First <u>Step</u></b>
