00:01.910 --> 00:03.640
One month ago,

00:03.640 --> 00:07.720
Granville and Grandmaster 
Yuuki Kagurazaka made contact.

00:07.720 --> 00:10.620
They appear to have made 
some sort of agreement.

00:10.620 --> 00:12.680
If they're going to do anything, 
it will likely be—

00:12.680 --> 00:14.990
Here in Lubelius?

00:15.990 --> 00:19.270
Gran was the head of the 
Seven Days Clergy for many years.

00:19.750 --> 00:23.110
He knows this country 
even better than I do.

00:23.680 --> 00:25.130
This could be trouble.

00:25.830 --> 00:27.240
Demon Lord Luminus!

00:28.020 --> 00:30.660
No, Lady Luminus!

00:30.660 --> 00:34.590
<b>- 1700 Years Ago, Lubelius Outskirts -</b>

00:31.140 --> 00:32.440
I place my faith in you.

00:32.440 --> 00:34.130
I wish to borrow your power.

00:34.580 --> 00:37.090
So that I can protect humanity

00:37.090 --> 00:39.090
and you can better rule Lubelius,

00:39.620 --> 00:41.860
I propose we join forces 
and work together!

00:58.320 --> 01:02.070
<i>He was so young and filled with hope.</i>

01:02.070 --> 01:04.890
<i>There's no trace of that left now.</i>

01:04.890 --> 01:06.860
<i>He has aged so...</i>

01:08.480 --> 01:10.090
<i>Aged?</i>

01:11.740 --> 01:15.220
<i>The former Hero and former head 
of the Seven Days Clergy?</i>

01:15.890 --> 01:19.380
<i>I even gave my love energy 
to all of the elders.</i>

01:19.380 --> 01:22.020
<i>So why...</i>

01:22.020 --> 01:23.710
Pardon me.

01:23.710 --> 01:29.360
Demon Lord Rimuru and his entourage 
from Tempest have arrived in Lubelius.

02:59.720 --> 03:00.970
<b>That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime
Season 4</b>

03:03.640 --> 03:05.580
So this is Lubelius!

03:05.390 --> 03:09.560
<b>Episode 88: Gran, the Hero of Dawn</b>

03:06.620 --> 03:07.630
Wow...

03:07.630 --> 03:09.550
What a pretty city!

03:09.850 --> 03:12.100
Welcome. I'm glad you're here.

03:12.750 --> 03:15.300
So we're just waiting 
for the musicians now?

03:15.300 --> 03:18.700
Yeah. They should all be here soon.

03:19.720 --> 03:22.230
You can really feel the 
history in this city.

03:22.930 --> 03:24.930
It's not like Tempest, is it?

03:27.300 --> 03:30.650
Wh... What the heck is this?!

03:30.650 --> 03:31.690
Wow...

03:31.690 --> 03:32.950
It looks so good!

03:32.950 --> 03:34.860
I'm diggin' in!

03:35.220 --> 03:36.900
How pretty!

03:36.900 --> 03:38.820
It looks like jewels!

03:38.820 --> 03:41.450
Never have I eaten a 
meal like this before!

03:43.060 --> 03:43.920
What's wrong?

03:43.920 --> 03:45.800
It's gone already.

03:47.210 --> 03:48.960
This looks tasty, too!

03:48.960 --> 03:51.090
Not so loud.

03:51.090 --> 03:53.050
Um, Great Rimuru...

03:53.960 --> 03:58.390
Is it really all right for us musicians 
to receive such hospitality?

03:58.800 --> 04:02.520
Well, that's just how much they're 
looking forward to your performance.

04:02.810 --> 04:05.060
Yes. We're expecting the best.

04:05.060 --> 04:09.190
Of course! We will live 
up to your expectations!

04:09.990 --> 04:12.490
Well said! That's the spirit, Takt!

04:12.490 --> 04:14.350
Hey... e-er...

04:14.350 --> 04:16.490
Yep. We're counting on you.

04:18.740 --> 04:21.160
Night, Sensei.

04:21.160 --> 04:23.080
Goodnight.

04:23.080 --> 04:23.830
Night.

04:24.300 --> 04:26.260
Make sure you keep your bellies covered.

04:26.260 --> 04:28.080
Okay.

04:28.080 --> 04:31.540
Great Rimuru, what are 
your plans after this?

04:31.540 --> 04:32.840
Well...

04:33.200 --> 04:36.400
Come to think of it, 
I haven't met with Luminus yet.

04:36.400 --> 04:38.600
Um, Great Rimuru...

04:38.600 --> 04:41.180
The maid is asking if 
we'd like room service.

04:41.180 --> 04:42.930
Oh, good idea!

04:42.930 --> 04:46.020
Maybe something warm to... drink...

04:48.120 --> 04:52.000
Rats. I thought you'd be more surprised.

04:52.000 --> 04:54.880
Well, I kinda suspected 
you'd do <i>something</i>.

04:54.880 --> 04:56.080
<i>Though...</i>

04:56.080 --> 04:59.280
<i>I definitely didn't expect her 
to come out dressed as a maid.</i>

04:59.280 --> 05:03.860
Still, I must commend you on 
leaving that Evil Dragon behind.

05:07.480 --> 05:09.150
Wait, where's Hinata?

05:10.550 --> 05:12.640
She is asleep.

05:14.300 --> 05:17.610
So... what'd you bring me here for?

05:18.580 --> 05:23.060
I was a bit hesitant to bring 
this up to you, our guest...

05:23.560 --> 05:27.630
but that Granville seems 
to be plotting something.

05:29.530 --> 05:34.440
This will likely be the last 
time we Five Elders meet.

05:34.440 --> 05:40.700
We must stop Demon Lord Rimuru from
seizing control over humanity at any cost.

05:41.060 --> 05:43.940
But now that we've lost Maribel...

05:43.940 --> 05:48.380
Should we not quietly amass strength while
pretending to be obedient for a while?

05:48.380 --> 05:49.540
Do not be daunted.

05:51.320 --> 05:53.750
No matter how many must be sacrificed,

05:53.750 --> 05:58.050
it is us humans who ought 
to rule the world of man.

05:58.340 --> 05:59.440
Am I wrong?

06:01.640 --> 06:04.010
I will place one final bet.

06:04.810 --> 06:06.320
Lord Granville...

06:07.210 --> 06:10.870
I have very little time left.

06:16.640 --> 06:20.200
My domain is quite far 
removed from the conflict.

06:20.580 --> 06:23.030
As a survivor of the Rozzo family,

06:23.030 --> 06:26.450
I shall serve as an observer 
of the correct history.

06:27.290 --> 06:28.260
Very good.

06:36.140 --> 06:37.720
You accept this?

06:38.800 --> 06:42.840
I am ordering the rest of you to die.

06:43.130 --> 06:45.150
I am also a Rozzo.

06:45.150 --> 06:48.730
My spirit is with you to the very end!

06:48.730 --> 06:50.350
As is mine!

06:50.750 --> 06:54.910
In that case, Johann, 
you will use the Disciples of Vert.

06:54.910 --> 06:57.650
The mercenary group 
that worked with Gaban?

06:58.180 --> 07:01.350
They are zealots who worship 
the so-called "Green Goddess."

07:02.000 --> 07:05.110
They have summoned an enormous 
demon, whom they revere as a god,

07:05.110 --> 07:08.080
and they aim to plunge 
the world into chaos.

07:09.230 --> 07:13.690
Their fondest wish is to play a leading 
role when the world is engulfed in war.

07:13.690 --> 07:17.340
Their interests align with our 
own as we march toward death.

07:17.340 --> 07:18.220
Yes.

07:19.100 --> 07:23.690
Then allow me to at least 
return the trump card

07:23.690 --> 07:26.410
you left with me
to help protect the north.

07:27.290 --> 07:28.590
Razul...

07:30.180 --> 07:35.270
Humans can only become Saints 
after living a very long time.

07:35.640 --> 07:40.530
Unlike monsters, even when they evolve, 
their bodies do not immediately adapt.

07:40.970 --> 07:44.660
The reason Hinata needs 
sleep after becoming a Saint

07:44.660 --> 07:47.770
is because she retained her human body.

07:48.530 --> 07:51.940
But Granville is not a Saint.

07:51.940 --> 07:54.910
He is what hatched from the Hero's Egg.

07:54.910 --> 07:56.820
Hero's Egg?

07:56.820 --> 07:57.730
Indeed.

07:58.280 --> 08:02.550
Think of it as how a Demon Lord becomes 
a True Demon Lord after awakening.

08:03.090 --> 08:04.180
So you mean...

08:05.460 --> 08:08.730
Granville is a True Hero?

08:22.130 --> 08:24.420
So this is our new land?

08:24.420 --> 08:26.740
It's beautiful! Isn't it, Gran?

08:27.100 --> 08:28.640
It is, Maria.

08:29.160 --> 08:33.120
Just like the promised land 
we've been searching for.

08:33.940 --> 08:35.840
We will bring these western lands together

08:35.840 --> 08:38.060
and make the east and west one.

08:38.060 --> 08:41.770
Then all humans will come together 
to take down the Demon Lords.

08:42.360 --> 08:46.680
We will build a world where 
all humans can live in peace.

08:46.680 --> 08:49.060
You really love humans, don't you, Gran?

08:49.460 --> 08:51.810
It's why you're able to keep fighting.

08:52.330 --> 08:54.650
You're a bit of an odd one, though. 
And stubborn.

08:55.810 --> 08:57.440
Not as much so as Razul.

08:58.100 --> 09:00.120
You won't find many other oddballs

09:00.120 --> 09:04.510
who would give so much for the sake 
of humans without even being one.

09:04.510 --> 09:05.810
You may be right.

09:06.340 --> 09:08.210
I fight not for humans.

09:08.500 --> 09:11.450
I fight because I have faith in you, Gran.

09:11.810 --> 09:16.420
On the name you gave me, "Razul," 
I will realize our dream with you.

09:16.420 --> 09:17.460
Yes.

09:18.180 --> 09:22.630
No matter what it takes, we will make a 
world where everyone can live in peace.

09:23.390 --> 09:25.630
Let us enter our promised land!

09:26.820 --> 09:29.200
Gran, the Dawn Hero...

09:29.200 --> 09:32.560
His wish was utterly preposterous.

09:33.220 --> 09:38.530
The Western Nations at the time were 
even more chaotic than they are now.

09:38.530 --> 09:42.980
Daggrull, the Earthquake, 
embraced territorial ambitions.

09:42.980 --> 09:45.360
There were demons from 
the north who served Guy,

09:45.360 --> 09:49.860
and even that detestable 
Evil Dragon attacked as he pleased.

09:49.860 --> 09:52.710
Naturally, they saw me as an enemy.

10:02.910 --> 10:06.210
We battled many, many times.

10:06.730 --> 10:11.940
However, once Gran understood that 
I wished to coexist with humans,

10:11.940 --> 10:14.310
he chose to come to an agreement.

10:16.420 --> 10:20.930
And then these western lands 
became peaceful.

10:22.580 --> 10:26.050
Many settlements came together, 
countries were born,

10:26.050 --> 10:30.360
and small nations prospered 
and grew into large ones.

10:31.220 --> 10:36.200
In the midst of all this, 
Gran became a man of two faces:

10:36.200 --> 10:38.940
Gran, of Lubelius's Seven Days Clergy,

10:38.940 --> 10:44.330
and Granville, 
the good statesman of Seltrozzo.

10:44.330 --> 10:49.040
My son, Rolf, 
and Princess Isabella of Seltrozzo

10:49.040 --> 10:51.510
will be given a grand 
wedding here in my kingdom!

10:51.880 --> 10:55.820
To a deeper friendship and 
greater prosperity! Cheers!

10:55.820 --> 10:57.430
Cheers!

10:57.430 --> 10:59.020
Thank you, as well, Minister.

10:59.310 --> 11:01.850
The wedding day cannot come soon enough!

11:05.670 --> 11:07.310
Those pests!

11:07.310 --> 11:12.500
If they hadn't shown up, 
I could take over this—

11:10.260 --> 11:12.500
Shall I lend you my aid?

11:21.860 --> 11:22.950
Use that.

11:23.910 --> 11:29.580
It can pierce anyone, 
even a Saint... or a Hero.

11:40.950 --> 11:44.210
Lady Maria, where might Lord Granville be?

11:44.210 --> 11:46.020
He'll be a bit late.

11:46.020 --> 11:49.070
His mediation in a neighboring country 
is taking longer than planned.

11:49.070 --> 11:52.030
And this is Isabella's big day, too...

11:54.420 --> 11:56.720
Will he make it in time for the ceremony?

12:07.380 --> 12:09.060
Now, kill them!

12:09.060 --> 12:12.950
Gather all those human souls for me!

12:12.950 --> 12:16.550
Th-This isn't what we agreed 
upon! Now the plan is...

12:17.540 --> 12:19.640
Minister, don't tell me you...

12:31.330 --> 12:33.890
Lady Maria, please help me...

12:44.120 --> 12:47.800
<i>Damn it! I'm done for at this rate!</i>

12:47.800 --> 12:51.800
I'll join the guards. 
We'll hold the line until Gran arrives.

12:51.800 --> 12:53.650
You evacuate the people.

12:55.370 --> 12:56.760
<i>That's right.</i>

12:57.750 --> 13:01.120
<i>This woman is the only one 
who knows about my betrayal.</i>

13:02.550 --> 13:04.120
<i>If I act now...</i>

13:16.330 --> 13:17.700
Maria...

13:18.120 --> 13:20.840
I-I did not kill that woman!

13:20.840 --> 13:22.640
It was that human!

13:22.640 --> 13:25.330
The Saint who saved him, 
even knowing he betrayed—

13:32.180 --> 13:33.340
Maria!

13:34.560 --> 13:35.800
Don't move!

13:36.980 --> 13:40.800
Isabella... is safe...

13:40.800 --> 13:43.010
Don't talk! Keep still!

13:43.010 --> 13:44.310
I'll get Lady Luminus—

13:44.310 --> 13:49.940
Humans... are so weak, aren't they, Gran?

13:51.540 --> 13:55.600
For the sake of a peaceful 
world for all...

13:56.350 --> 14:01.410
you have to... lead them 
on the right path...

14:02.620 --> 14:08.960
Gran... you must... protect... mankind...

14:16.420 --> 14:17.300
Yes.

14:18.920 --> 14:20.330
I...

14:21.490 --> 14:23.770
must protect mankind.

14:25.700 --> 14:27.970
Having lost Maria the Saint,

14:27.970 --> 14:31.240
Granville disappeared from the limelight.

14:32.700 --> 14:36.900
He started exerting his influence 
on the nations behind the scenes,

14:36.900 --> 14:38.760
giving rise to the Council of the West.

14:38.760 --> 14:43.600
He joined forces with the elves to 
fight the antagonistic Eastern Empire.

14:43.600 --> 14:45.750
He was also the one who sent the merchants

14:45.750 --> 14:47.860
from the east to uncover 
Tempest's internal affairs.

14:48.810 --> 14:52.800
Granville kept all that up 
on his own all these years.

14:54.340 --> 14:58.740
This Granville guy really 
is the legendary type, huh?

14:58.740 --> 15:01.250
He is also strong.

15:01.250 --> 15:03.880
Stronger than the Demon Lords of old.

15:05.110 --> 15:07.710
Even stronger than Hinata?

15:08.890 --> 15:12.940
Indeed. That is why I 
will not summon her here.

15:13.910 --> 15:15.940
I didn't know he was that strong...

15:15.940 --> 15:20.070
But if he's beginning to act 
suspiciously only now...

15:20.070 --> 15:23.760
Do you suppose it's because 
of Maribel's death?

15:23.760 --> 15:25.570
Is he hoping to avenge her?

15:25.930 --> 15:29.630
No, I don't think it's that simple.

15:29.630 --> 15:31.710
He must have some goal.

15:31.710 --> 15:34.460
A goal, eh? That would most likely be...

15:37.650 --> 15:40.380
I have an idea as to 
what his motive may be.

15:40.920 --> 15:42.860
Yuuki Kagurazaka.

15:43.480 --> 15:46.970
It seems he formed some sort 
of pact with Granville.

15:48.820 --> 15:51.940
Yuuki... Not him again...

15:51.940 --> 15:53.140
Rimuru...

15:53.140 --> 15:56.880
I believe you are likely 
to be one of their targets.

15:56.880 --> 15:58.510
Yeah, probably.

15:58.510 --> 16:01.700
It's about time I settled 
the score with him.

16:02.390 --> 16:06.160
But my Lubelius is impregnable.

16:06.720 --> 16:08.100
So long as we can

16:08.100 --> 16:12.520
enjoy the musical performance in
three days, I will be content.

16:14.970 --> 16:17.140
That is the sacred peak 
of the Riola Mountains,

16:17.560 --> 16:20.430
and this is the center of the city.

16:22.440 --> 16:25.040
Looks like even kids our age are working.

16:25.040 --> 16:27.230
They don't have school or anything?

16:27.230 --> 16:27.770
Correct.

16:27.770 --> 16:31.030
Here in Lubelius, all are equal under God.

16:31.320 --> 16:34.550
The nation is managed so 
that all can live equally.

16:34.550 --> 16:35.380
Huh?

16:35.380 --> 16:36.140
Managed?

16:36.820 --> 16:41.560
That kinda sounds like 
fish in an aquarium.

16:43.430 --> 16:47.650
I guess the people of this city 
can't live by themselves, huh?

16:49.170 --> 16:51.630
It's like they can't even 
protect their own lifestyles

16:51.630 --> 16:54.450
if they don't have 
someone protecting <i>them</i>.

16:56.420 --> 17:00.410
We are doing our best to 
ensure that does not happen.

17:01.510 --> 17:05.830
You know, I wanted to be of 
use to someone in this world.

17:06.460 --> 17:08.670
In Lubelius, I can do that.

17:09.030 --> 17:10.910
That's what I believe.

17:10.910 --> 17:12.100
I see.

17:12.100 --> 17:15.800
Still... I'd want to 
work hard with others,

17:16.360 --> 17:19.740
rather than have one person 
working hard for me.

17:30.160 --> 17:31.750
Big Brother Leon!

17:34.090 --> 17:35.150
Wait.

17:35.150 --> 17:36.740
I said wait, Chloe.

17:40.510 --> 17:42.390
No! Not that way!

17:45.180 --> 17:46.140
Chloe!

17:52.680 --> 17:53.830
<i>Chloe...</i>

17:54.460 --> 17:57.720
<i>You should have come 
to this world with me.</i>

17:58.490 --> 18:01.410
<i>I know that. But you're 
nowhere to be found.</i>

18:02.390 --> 18:05.040
<i>Even though I've been trying 
so hard to find you...</i>

18:07.910 --> 18:10.420
Pardon me. I bring an urgent report.

18:10.840 --> 18:14.220
The Primordial Demon 
Jaune has disappeared.

18:18.040 --> 18:19.210
It can't be...

18:19.210 --> 18:22.590
Someone destroyed Jaune's 
Underworld Gate?!

18:22.590 --> 18:24.100
I can't believe it.

18:25.950 --> 18:29.500
She's the kind of mad demon who'd 
shoot off nuclear magic just for fun!

18:29.500 --> 18:30.860
And she suddenly...

18:30.860 --> 18:33.150
But I saw it with my own eyes.

18:33.150 --> 18:34.940
Jaune is definitely gone.

18:35.460 --> 18:37.360
<i>What could have happened?</i>

18:37.360 --> 18:40.700
<i>Did she return to the spiritual 
realm when her Gate disappeared?</i>

18:40.700 --> 18:42.480
<i>Could it really be that simple?</i>

18:42.480 --> 18:43.720
Reporting!

18:44.340 --> 18:47.390
It appears the children 
that Tempest is sheltering

18:47.390 --> 18:49.560
are going to be sold to Lubelius.

18:50.340 --> 18:54.400
Demon Lord Rimuru seems to have signed a 
secret agreement with Demon Lord Luminus.

18:57.420 --> 18:59.510
Have that man watched.

18:59.510 --> 19:03.300
It's possible he's working with someone, 
or even being controlled.

19:04.660 --> 19:06.770
I'm sure there are those who wish

19:06.770 --> 19:09.510
to make Rimuru and I fight 
so that they can profit from it.

19:09.510 --> 19:11.080
But who in the world...

19:11.540 --> 19:13.090
Someone who,

19:13.090 --> 19:16.840
at the very least, knows that I am 
collecting Otherworlder children.

19:17.450 --> 19:21.670
Perhaps Cerberus or someone involved 
with Otherworlder summoning.

19:22.860 --> 19:27.200
If I make a move now, I'll be 
playing right into their hands.

19:28.560 --> 19:30.230
Kurobe Hoeru.

19:33.210 --> 19:34.040
Your Majesty.

19:35.040 --> 19:38.570
We are your loyal knights.

19:39.290 --> 19:42.680
We will obey any order 
you wish to give us.

19:42.680 --> 19:45.800
Exactly. Please be a bit more selfish!

19:46.370 --> 19:47.720
You two...

19:48.980 --> 19:51.570
<i>Could Jaune's disappearance be a windfall?</i>

19:54.300 --> 19:56.510
I will take you up on your word.

19:56.510 --> 19:58.500
Watch the place while I'm away.

19:58.500 --> 19:59.130
Yes, sire.

19:59.130 --> 20:00.350
I'm going with you!

20:00.350 --> 20:01.720
Do as you like.

20:03.680 --> 20:07.490
We got a report. 
Seems Demon Lord Leon's on the move.

20:07.490 --> 20:08.220
Huh?!

20:09.240 --> 20:13.830
I guess Chloe really was the 
one he was looking for, huh?

20:13.830 --> 20:17.520
Now we can be essentially certain 
what Demon Lord Leon's goal is.

20:17.520 --> 20:18.610
Perhaps...

20:18.610 --> 20:23.210
but I find it hard to believe he believed 
the intel we leaked that easily.

20:23.210 --> 20:26.110
I'm certain he suspects Cerberus.

20:26.110 --> 20:27.530
Not a problem!

20:27.530 --> 20:31.920
I intend to make sure the supplier of 
the merchandise assumes responsibility.

20:31.920 --> 20:33.850
By "supplier," ya mean...

20:34.500 --> 20:36.780
The Rosso family, yes?

20:36.780 --> 20:38.250
Exactly!

20:38.250 --> 20:42.010
In any case, now we've got Demon 
Lord Leon involved in the plan.

20:42.600 --> 20:45.110
If Demon Lord Leon and 
Rimuru go head to head,

20:45.110 --> 20:47.510
Lubelius will experience even more chaos.

20:47.870 --> 20:49.390
And we'll use that opportunity...

20:49.390 --> 20:52.210
...to acquire Demon Lord 
Luminus's hidden treasure.

20:52.210 --> 20:53.310
Right.

20:53.310 --> 20:57.850
Granville himself said it was worthy 
of being called an ultimate weapon.

20:57.850 --> 21:00.190
I want it, whatever it takes.

21:00.190 --> 21:01.320
Which is why...

21:01.320 --> 21:03.780
I'll be joining you as support this time!

21:03.780 --> 21:05.520
What?!

21:05.520 --> 21:07.480
You don't trust us?

21:07.480 --> 21:09.510
Well, that kinda hurts.

21:09.510 --> 21:11.750
Don't be silly. It's just in case.

21:11.750 --> 21:14.550
You guys will still play the 
central role in the job.

21:14.550 --> 21:16.420
There's something I want 
to ask of you, anyway.

21:16.420 --> 21:18.170
Of you in particular, Tear.

21:18.480 --> 21:19.960
Me?

21:19.960 --> 21:21.150
I'm on it!

21:21.560 --> 21:23.720
This'll be our last big job in the west.

21:23.720 --> 21:24.630
Yep, yep!

21:25.620 --> 21:30.180
That old man gave us a pretty 
good one for our last job.

21:31.180 --> 21:32.650
That damn brat,

21:33.550 --> 21:36.410
clinging to his senseless ambitions...

21:37.210 --> 21:41.010
It goes without saying that we 
will strike Demon Lord Rimuru.

21:41.010 --> 21:44.760
Demon Lord Leon and 
Demon Lord Luminus, as well.

21:45.500 --> 21:48.950
I have long protected humanity from 
the threat of the Demon Lords.

21:51.130 --> 21:56.840
Even after you were killed as a 
sacrifice to human greed...

21:58.010 --> 21:59.440
Maria.

22:17.150 --> 22:23.800
This world that exists to take 
everything from me can just perish.

23:55.200 --> 23:58.830
<i>Next time, "Lubelius, 
the Point of Convergence."</i>

23:55.850 --> 23:59.960
