WEBVTT
00:00.490 --> 00:04.250
Kingdom of Engrassia
00:08.030 --> 00:09.590
Welcome to Engrassia.
00:10.260 --> 00:11.300
Thanks.
00:14.120 --> 00:15.130
What's up?
00:15.640 --> 00:19.220
When I see it this way,
Tempest is quite large.
00:19.620 --> 00:20.850
It sure is.
00:20.850 --> 00:24.100
In terms of area, it's about the same
as all the Western Nations combined.
00:24.900 --> 00:30.110
If we're allowed to join them tomorrow,
your ideal will be realized.
00:30.110 --> 00:34.330
Yeah. The first step to our
Monster-and-Man Cooperative Alliance.
00:38.790 --> 00:40.080
It's time.
00:41.030 --> 00:45.720
Tomorrow is the fateful meeting
that will decide whether Tempest
00:45.720 --> 00:47.750
joins the Council of the West.
02:16.340 --> 02:19.010
That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime
Season 4
02:19.010 --> 02:24.050
Episode 77: The First Step
02:25.270 --> 02:26.390
Huh...
02:26.390 --> 02:28.930
Looks like it's as bustling as ever.
02:37.460 --> 02:38.860
Welcome.
02:42.640 --> 02:44.990
How absolutely adorable!
02:45.410 --> 02:46.580
We're not here every day.
02:46.580 --> 02:48.000
Go ahead and pick one you like.
02:48.270 --> 02:50.250
Oh, may I?
02:50.250 --> 02:51.660
Of course.
02:51.660 --> 02:54.290
I'll buy it for you to thank
you for all you do every day.
02:54.680 --> 02:56.510
Thank you so much!
02:56.510 --> 02:58.300
Which should I get?
03:00.450 --> 03:02.100
You guys can pick something, too.
03:02.100 --> 03:03.890
What? Me?
03:03.890 --> 03:05.390
I'm fine with what I have.
03:05.390 --> 03:07.430
Oh, just go for it.
03:07.430 --> 03:10.390
You're only gonna stand out
in those outfits, anyway.
03:13.310 --> 03:15.200
Well, in that case...
03:26.470 --> 03:28.880
I'm glad this made them happy.
03:28.880 --> 03:32.000
They always works harder than anyone else.
03:32.340 --> 03:35.020
We brought suits for them
to wear to the meeting,
03:35.020 --> 03:37.380
but they didn't have any
casual, everyday wear.
03:37.750 --> 03:40.250
Nothing wrong with a little
reward now and then.
03:41.630 --> 03:45.300
So if I curry enough favor, I won't
get in trouble if something happens?
03:45.960 --> 03:48.640
Did you say something, Benimaru-kun?
03:48.640 --> 03:50.390
No, nothing.
03:54.690 --> 03:56.240
What do you think?
03:57.270 --> 03:59.210
That looks great!
03:59.210 --> 04:00.650
It suits you, Shuna!
04:01.380 --> 04:02.740
I'm happy to hear that!
04:03.300 --> 04:04.960
The shrine maiden outfit is nice,
04:04.960 --> 04:08.120
but casual wear is a new
look for you! I like it!
04:11.680 --> 04:13.960
I decided to try some on.
04:16.830 --> 04:18.750
Is this about right?
04:21.690 --> 04:23.670
Oh, sure. Looks good.
04:23.670 --> 04:25.550
You weren't nearly as
enthusiastic about ours!
04:25.550 --> 04:27.890
Well, I mean, you took so long choosing...
04:28.510 --> 04:29.700
I apologize.
04:29.700 --> 04:32.400
I wasn't sure which would be best.
04:32.400 --> 04:33.940
Whatever! You look good in anything!
04:33.940 --> 04:36.020
Man, I hate hot guys!
04:36.020 --> 04:40.110
Um... Great Rimuru,
aren't you going to choose anything?
04:40.110 --> 04:42.630
Huh? Oh, right...
04:42.630 --> 04:44.190
Maybe I'll pick something, too.
04:44.590 --> 04:45.950
Watch and learn, you two!
04:45.950 --> 04:50.020
There's a failsafe trick to picking
out clothes quickly and decisively!
04:50.020 --> 04:51.020
Oh?
04:51.020 --> 04:52.700
A failsafe trick?
04:52.970 --> 04:56.300
Hey, you! What've you got
that'll look good on me?
04:56.300 --> 04:57.710
Make someone else pick?!
05:16.810 --> 05:19.040
The harmony between bitter and sweet.
05:19.040 --> 05:21.860
Coffee is definitely a grown-up drink.
05:21.860 --> 05:23.750
What's grown-up about that?
05:23.750 --> 05:25.400
It's more milk than coffee.
05:27.330 --> 05:29.030
Sh-Shut up!
05:29.030 --> 05:31.660
Who cares?! It's all about setting a mood!
05:32.060 --> 05:34.080
Not so convincing from
one dressed as a child.
05:34.080 --> 05:34.910
Wha—
05:35.220 --> 05:38.340
What the hell?! So these
really are kids' clothes?!
05:38.340 --> 05:39.830
That guy screwed me over!
05:39.830 --> 05:41.620
Damn it!
05:41.620 --> 05:43.340
It looks wonderful on you.
05:43.700 --> 05:46.340
I thought you were quite pleased with it.
05:46.340 --> 05:47.170
As did I.
05:50.590 --> 05:51.870
Okay, fine!
05:56.200 --> 05:58.730
Soundproof Barrier... up!
06:00.320 --> 06:03.110
Anyway, sorry to drag you out here.
06:03.110 --> 06:06.030
I wanted to talk to you
before tomorrow's meeting.
06:07.460 --> 06:11.280
Tempest's admission was approved
at the special session.
06:11.600 --> 06:16.540
It'll be made official after a
formal Q&A with you tomorrow.
06:16.820 --> 06:19.540
Bingo. Just like I suspected.
06:19.810 --> 06:22.200
It's not set in stone yet.
06:22.200 --> 06:25.800
They may ask questions to
deliberately provoke you.
06:26.250 --> 06:28.750
Do I look that hot-tempered to you?
06:28.750 --> 06:30.400
It'll be fine.
06:30.400 --> 06:33.550
Unlike you, I'm a grown-up
with social skills.
06:35.070 --> 06:36.900
What? If it's a fight you want, let's go.
06:36.900 --> 06:38.850
Way to prove my point.
06:41.020 --> 06:42.650
Oh, also...
06:43.060 --> 06:46.260
It seems there are also a few
fools who are plotting something.
06:46.260 --> 06:47.440
Stay on your guard.
06:48.770 --> 06:51.570
Those fools did something to you, huh?
06:53.700 --> 06:57.060
Well, they put us up in
a top-class hotel, too.
06:57.060 --> 06:59.270
I do sense the ulterior motives.
06:59.270 --> 07:02.250
I think Soei's already
looked into that, though.
07:02.250 --> 07:06.500
Yes. Regarding that,
there's one thing I'd like to confirm.
07:08.030 --> 07:09.360
There appears to be
07:09.360 --> 07:13.360
some among the councilors
who wish to use us for their own ends.
07:13.360 --> 07:16.010
I heard them saying to each other...
07:16.010 --> 07:20.020
Something about a defensive force
against the Eastern Empire?
07:20.020 --> 07:20.720
Yes.
07:21.270 --> 07:24.610
So they want us to help
them if the Empire attacks?
07:24.610 --> 07:25.870
Is that it?
07:25.870 --> 07:26.650
Yes.
07:26.980 --> 07:28.510
Huh...
07:28.510 --> 07:33.100
Well, I don't think we need to
worry too much about the Empire.
07:33.100 --> 07:34.660
Might I ask why?
07:34.660 --> 07:36.540
It's simple.
07:36.540 --> 07:40.500
The key is to think about it
from the Empire's perspective.
07:40.500 --> 07:41.990
In their minds,
07:41.990 --> 07:45.000
there are three routes they could use
to invade the Western Nations.
07:45.530 --> 07:49.760
First is by sea, but there
are huge monsters there.
07:50.070 --> 07:54.760
Next is the mountain route over the
Canaat Mountains, where Dwargon is,
07:55.280 --> 07:58.260
but that's an ominous place
known as the Dragon's Nest.
07:58.840 --> 08:02.090
Lastly, there's the Great Forest
of Jura, where we live.
08:02.090 --> 08:05.770
As we all know, that's a
Demon Lord's domain—namely, mine.
08:05.770 --> 08:10.130
And Veldora has returned there now, too.
08:11.340 --> 08:13.900
So the Empire can't afford
to act carelessly.
08:13.900 --> 08:15.530
Exactly.
08:16.050 --> 08:17.100
True.
08:18.100 --> 08:22.070
Still, it is a fact that the Empire
has made unsettling movements.
08:22.070 --> 08:24.290
I believe it is worth investigating.
08:24.580 --> 08:26.880
I agree with Rimuru...
08:27.590 --> 08:30.050
but you're right.
08:30.050 --> 08:33.810
If you're so certain, I'll call
for an investigation, as well.
08:33.810 --> 08:35.280
Thank you.
08:36.100 --> 08:38.900
Huh... They're both being so cautious.
08:39.570 --> 08:40.510
Notice.
08:40.510 --> 08:43.250
I surmise that there
is no issue at present,
08:43.250 --> 08:47.810
but it may be necessary to reconsider
once there is new information.
08:47.810 --> 08:50.820
Also, I have a suggestion.
08:49.320 --> 08:50.820
Suggestion
08:52.930 --> 08:56.620
Hinata-san! May I ask
one more favor of you?
08:56.620 --> 08:58.570
What now? And why so formal?
08:59.040 --> 09:02.910
Well, I'd like you to investigate
the interior of Dwargon, too.
09:03.520 --> 09:04.750
Dwargon?
09:05.100 --> 09:08.930
You mean the capital city
built into a massive cave?
09:11.030 --> 09:12.470
I see.
09:12.470 --> 09:16.080
There's a chance Dwargon could
serve as an invasion route, too.
09:17.030 --> 09:18.810
You may seem absent-minded,
09:18.810 --> 09:21.310
but you are not to be underestimated.
09:22.850 --> 09:24.530
I know, right?
09:24.530 --> 09:27.310
It was Raphael-sensei's idea, actually...
09:27.310 --> 09:28.640
Great Rimuru.
09:28.640 --> 09:29.690
Huh?
09:29.810 --> 09:30.860
Oh...
09:32.040 --> 09:35.820
There's one bit of information
I want to share with all of you.
09:36.220 --> 09:41.000
Do you remember the guy who kept
criticizing us at the festival?
09:41.000 --> 09:43.330
You mean Duke Muese?
09:44.110 --> 09:47.330
Duke Muese... has been killed.
09:50.400 --> 09:53.110
So he wouldn't talk, probably.
09:53.110 --> 09:57.730
Whoever he worked for was obviously
someone important in the Western Nations.
09:58.440 --> 10:01.610
There's a good chance they're
connected to the Council.
10:02.100 --> 10:06.080
It is thought that he was killed
using a long-range attack.
10:06.080 --> 10:07.780
"It is thought"?
10:07.780 --> 10:09.660
So even you didn't see it?
10:09.660 --> 10:10.520
Right.
10:11.010 --> 10:13.100
It happened suddenly
while I was watching him.
10:13.100 --> 10:16.820
I did hear something ricochet
immediately afterward, but no more.
10:17.380 --> 10:19.810
You heard something? After he died?
10:19.810 --> 10:20.860
Yes.
10:21.150 --> 10:24.240
And you detected no
traces of magic or aura?
10:24.610 --> 10:25.720
None at all.
10:26.260 --> 10:29.830
The only thing I saw was the
hole left in his forehead.
10:31.120 --> 10:32.790
A hole in his forehead...
10:33.700 --> 10:35.420
Was it a sniper?
10:35.730 --> 10:37.300
Seems like it.
10:37.300 --> 10:41.020
It's weird that you heard
something after that, though...
10:41.020 --> 10:43.680
What is a "sniper"?
10:44.400 --> 10:46.940
Huh? Oh, that's right.
10:46.940 --> 10:49.940
I've never actually seen
a gun in this world.
10:50.850 --> 10:52.270
They're weapons like this.
10:52.780 --> 10:54.120
Oh...
10:54.120 --> 10:55.190
So this is...
10:55.190 --> 10:58.100
This looks like a weapon even I could use!
10:58.100 --> 11:01.280
That is a scary thing
to hear coming from you!
11:07.670 --> 11:09.440
Thanks for the information.
11:09.440 --> 11:11.080
See you at the meeting, okay?
11:11.080 --> 11:14.260
Right. And do be careful.
11:14.260 --> 11:16.590
Whatever you do, don't lose your temper.
11:16.590 --> 11:18.530
You keep reminding me of that.
11:18.530 --> 11:20.120
I know, I know!
11:25.700 --> 11:28.560
Well, ready to head back to the hotel?
11:28.560 --> 11:31.910
We need to rest up for tomorrow's meeting.
11:31.910 --> 11:32.730
Right!
11:32.730 --> 11:34.330
Look at that little one!
11:34.330 --> 11:35.710
How cute!
11:35.710 --> 11:38.070
Look at that little poncho!
11:39.080 --> 11:42.870
But first, I'm gonna give that guy at
the clothing shop a piece of my mind.
11:47.240 --> 11:51.110
I will observe how Demon Lord
Rimuru approaches the Council.
11:52.280 --> 11:58.010
I will discern his method of
ruling, safely and with certainty.
11:59.090 --> 12:02.090
Then the approval was no more than bait?
12:02.620 --> 12:03.440
Of course.
12:04.180 --> 12:06.340
There's no way that would be approved.
12:06.980 --> 12:09.470
Several steps have been taken.
12:09.470 --> 12:12.000
There won't even be any
need to send out Yuuki.
12:13.380 --> 12:14.820
I'm sure Demon Lord Rimuru
12:14.820 --> 12:18.740
will personally throw away
his chance to coexist.
12:19.360 --> 12:22.870
The Western Nations are not a monolith.
12:23.430 --> 12:25.270
Engrassia, in particular,
12:25.270 --> 12:30.310
has been frantically amassing
strength to counter us Rozzos.
12:31.190 --> 12:33.880
You mean King Aegil's Magic Inquisitors?
12:34.500 --> 12:36.460
Already on top of it, eh?
12:36.460 --> 12:37.880
Of course.
12:39.330 --> 12:42.630
Do be careful, Maribel.
12:45.320 --> 12:49.820
You are humanity's hope.
12:54.590 --> 12:57.650
Demon Lord Rimuru has left his hotel.
12:58.250 --> 13:01.150
He is on his way to the
Council headquarters.
13:02.340 --> 13:03.280
I see.
13:09.160 --> 13:11.090
This is from my grandfather.
13:11.090 --> 13:13.870
He sent it with the pastries.
13:13.870 --> 13:15.290
He says he has high hopes for me.
13:16.260 --> 13:17.680
Would you like to try one?
13:18.260 --> 13:20.710
Yes, perhaps I will.
13:21.800 --> 13:25.200
I need to write a good
reply to Grandfather.
13:25.870 --> 13:26.470
Right...
13:27.470 --> 13:28.520
Johann?
13:39.490 --> 13:40.750
You sure that was wise?
13:40.750 --> 13:42.260
He's one of the Five Elders.
13:42.980 --> 13:45.240
That's just fine for Johann.
13:47.250 --> 13:51.280
And? Did you come all this
way just to say hello?
13:52.070 --> 13:55.880
I got the thing you wanted, Maribel.
13:55.880 --> 13:57.500
I went all the way to the Dragon's Nest.
13:57.500 --> 14:01.000
Did you? Most impressive, Yuuki.
14:01.430 --> 14:03.540
No matter how powerful it is,
14:03.540 --> 14:06.130
what's the use if you can't control it?
14:06.500 --> 14:09.230
You can never have too many cards on hand.
14:10.070 --> 14:13.260
We don't have much time left.
14:14.640 --> 14:17.480
Humans... Demon Lords...
14:17.480 --> 14:20.330
The rules of this world are simply unfair.
14:20.920 --> 14:25.690
Isn't that exactly why you're
going to become the world's ruler?
14:27.690 --> 14:30.200
But I still need insurance.
14:34.200 --> 14:36.240
That little brat.
14:36.240 --> 14:38.160
I can't blow this.
14:44.020 --> 14:46.710
This will be no ordinary
meeting, I'm sure.
14:46.710 --> 14:51.720
Yeah. We can't expect them to be
friendly with us from the get-go.
14:52.780 --> 14:53.700
Shall we?
14:59.940 --> 15:01.350
Your Majesty Rimuru!
15:01.980 --> 15:03.460
Great Rimuru!
15:03.460 --> 15:04.980
Well, goodness me!
15:05.300 --> 15:06.850
It's an honor to meet you!
15:06.850 --> 15:09.000
Your country's festival was wonderful!
15:09.000 --> 15:11.530
And the food was fantastic!
15:11.530 --> 15:14.990
I do hope we can be good friends!
15:14.990 --> 15:18.530
Huh? This is a warmer
welcome than I expected...
15:18.530 --> 15:22.000
Same here. We'll be holding more
festivals in the future, so come on by!
15:24.390 --> 15:26.750
Now, don't smother Lord Rimuru.
15:27.130 --> 15:31.760
You folks from the smaller nations
really ought to learn your place.
15:31.760 --> 15:34.760
Indeed. You know nothing of decorum.
15:35.140 --> 15:36.810
Who are these guys?
15:37.310 --> 15:39.640
They are the councilors
from the larger nations.
15:39.640 --> 15:43.560
Huh... I heard all the
councilors were equal.
15:44.000 --> 15:45.810
Only on the surface, I guess.
15:45.810 --> 15:47.830
Honestly...
15:47.830 --> 15:49.890
There is simply no way to have
15:49.890 --> 15:52.700
a constructive discussion
with the likes of them.
15:52.990 --> 15:55.570
What do you mean, "the likes of them"?
15:55.570 --> 15:57.530
Oh, dear me!
15:57.530 --> 15:59.060
Does a monster such as yourself
15:59.060 --> 16:01.800
not understand such
a roundabout turn of phrase?
16:01.800 --> 16:05.830
Allow us to teach you how noblemen behave.
16:08.580 --> 16:11.340
Th-These guys kinda piss me off.
16:11.650 --> 16:14.980
Incidentally, your... "Magitrain," was it?
16:14.980 --> 16:18.350
I hear you are constructing
something most intriguing.
16:18.690 --> 16:21.730
My nation would be happy
to host it for you.
16:22.270 --> 16:25.980
Well, um... we have to lay the
rails in a certain order...
16:25.980 --> 16:29.500
No need to worry about
such trivial details.
16:29.500 --> 16:31.530
Huh? But...
16:31.530 --> 16:34.630
And you can give my country
arms and weapons from yours.
16:34.630 --> 16:37.170
You will remember to show
us your gratitude, yes?
16:37.170 --> 16:41.270
Now, now. It would be in poor
taste to continue this here.
16:44.040 --> 16:46.580
Nope. I'm not gonna get through to them.
16:47.290 --> 16:50.950
I'll just have to use my
most lethal technique...
16:51.830 --> 16:53.210
I'll see what I can do!
16:53.210 --> 16:56.090
Ah, reassuring words!
16:56.090 --> 16:57.890
We look forward to it!
17:03.840 --> 17:05.830
Should we just let them go?
17:05.830 --> 17:08.800
I hate to simply leave
garbage out in the open.
17:08.800 --> 17:10.440
I mean, so do I...
17:10.440 --> 17:14.240
You think Great Rimuru would be perturbed
by the foolish drivel of such small fry?
17:14.240 --> 17:15.240
Huh?!
17:15.240 --> 17:16.840
That's right.
17:16.840 --> 17:22.160
It's silly to expect Great Rimuru
to give such rabble the time of day.
17:23.800 --> 17:25.960
Th-That's right, Benimaru!
17:25.960 --> 17:27.790
Those guys were nothing!
17:28.670 --> 17:30.320
I see...
17:30.970 --> 17:33.000
I still have much to learn.
17:33.590 --> 17:35.870
Sorry about that, Benimaru.
17:36.600 --> 17:39.550
You are His Majesty the
Demon Lord Rimuru Tempest, correct?
17:39.860 --> 17:43.090
I am Lester, chairman of the Council.
17:43.090 --> 17:44.680
Right this way, please.
17:45.060 --> 17:47.060
Thank you for going to the trouble.
17:59.620 --> 18:01.650
Why did they seat me here?
18:04.510 --> 18:06.030
Oh, I get it.
18:06.030 --> 18:08.600
It's their safety measure against me.
18:09.760 --> 18:11.480
Oh, there's Hinata.
18:16.010 --> 18:17.860
The hour is upon us.
18:17.860 --> 18:19.450
The meeting will commence.
18:19.450 --> 18:23.720
Our agenda is the admission of
Tempest into the Council of the West.
18:24.410 --> 18:28.980
Our Council intends to accept
your nation's membership.
18:29.510 --> 18:32.770
However, we have a few conditions.
18:33.550 --> 18:34.980
Let's hear them.
18:35.720 --> 18:38.020
They named three conditions.
18:38.020 --> 18:41.160
Number one: compliance
with international law.
18:41.160 --> 18:43.890
Any country joining them
is obligated to do that,
18:43.890 --> 18:44.950
so it's no problem.
18:46.100 --> 18:49.250
Number two: the opening of our market.
18:49.250 --> 18:52.170
That does pose a slight problem.
18:52.170 --> 18:55.180
Since the concept of patenting
isn't widespread in this world,
18:55.180 --> 18:58.010
there's a chance our
technology could be stolen.
18:58.620 --> 19:02.510
No, having it stolen would
be the least of our concerns.
19:03.390 --> 19:07.020
Give my country priority in
the laying of your rails!
19:07.020 --> 19:11.440
What? Only my country is fit
to be Tempest's sworn ally!
19:11.440 --> 19:14.120
No, no! My country is better!
19:12.930 --> 19:16.980
I refuse to be treated as a handyman
under the guise of negotiation.
19:14.120 --> 19:16.980
Wait a moment! If you're
speaking of laying rails...
19:16.980 --> 19:18.440
You be quiet!
19:18.440 --> 19:20.170
Silence!
19:20.170 --> 19:22.780
This is not the time for all
of you to make your assertions!
19:22.780 --> 19:25.380
That chairman's sure got it rough.
19:26.010 --> 19:27.370
And the last condition:
19:27.780 --> 19:29.810
supplying military forces.
19:29.810 --> 19:32.790
I'll have to think it over, but frankly,
19:32.790 --> 19:35.330
this one would be advantageous to us, too.
19:36.710 --> 19:39.790
All member nations pay
Tempest a defense fee
19:39.790 --> 19:42.050
and depend on us to defend them.
19:42.050 --> 19:46.850
In other words, we make money
while gaining more influence.
19:48.010 --> 19:49.950
If they're gonna be using us,
19:49.950 --> 19:52.390
we need to profit from it, too.
19:52.930 --> 19:57.770
These are the conditions for the admission
of the Jura Tempest Federation.
19:58.210 --> 20:02.110
Your Majesty Rimuru,
do you have any objections?
20:03.110 --> 20:04.400
Raphael-sensei.
20:04.980 --> 20:06.030
Yes.
20:22.970 --> 20:24.210
Please.
20:24.210 --> 20:25.300
Of course.
20:35.440 --> 20:38.760
Great Rimuru has put together his
concerns and alternative suggestions.
20:38.760 --> 20:39.980
If you would.
20:39.980 --> 20:42.110
Th-Thank you.
20:46.090 --> 20:49.470
He's written down every last
word of my explanation?!
20:49.470 --> 20:51.490
And even included corrections?!
20:51.490 --> 20:54.320
I generally agree with your conditions.
20:54.320 --> 20:57.130
All the things I wanted
to add are written there.
20:57.680 --> 20:59.070
If you'll accept those,
20:59.070 --> 21:02.510
I'm certain my side will have no issues.
21:03.830 --> 21:08.010
P-Please allow me a bit
of time to review this...
21:08.280 --> 21:10.050
Yes, of course.
21:10.860 --> 21:14.190
Not like he gave us any time to think.
21:17.220 --> 21:20.060
A full three hours later...
21:24.890 --> 21:27.070
I apologize for the wait.
21:30.160 --> 21:32.160
Written demands, huh?
21:32.160 --> 21:34.930
Looks like the chairman isn't convinced.
21:34.930 --> 21:37.210
I'll agree to negotiate, though.
21:37.580 --> 21:40.440
I did come here to talk, after all.
21:40.440 --> 21:43.000
For the coexistence of
humans and monsters...
22:06.020 --> 22:07.250
Why?
22:10.010 --> 22:12.930
Are you guys...
22:13.880 --> 22:15.490
Why?
22:16.670 --> 22:19.460
...making light of me?
22:20.020 --> 22:24.320
Why did this happen?!
23:55.230 --> 23:58.350
Next time, "The Council of the West."
23:55.890 --> 23:59.930
The Council of the West
