It's almost the whole gang together again! We've even got Shuna cuddling up to Rimuru! And some of the missing members of the group...are currently handling other problems. Ah, the power of delegating...not that Rimuru would know, because he totally takes personal responsibility and handles things himself instead of giving that duty to anyone else, right Raphael
?
It's nice to know you have a tight ship that can basically run itself...but then what is Rimuru there for? To look cute and get praised? Wait, don't answer that
.
Well, Falmuth has paid reparations and changed kings, but it seems like they're bound to erupt with the tensions over Tempest and the current deal they have in place (while the former king is now under Youm's protection) which is the perfect opportunity for Tempest to strike. Meanwhile Shion is trying desperately to follow the political talk
.
GABIRU!!! And he brings word from Milim that he wants Tempest to teach her people how to actually cook so she doesn't have to live with their plain food. She's already given Rimuru enough work with the job she did in Eurazia, but it's the least her bestie can do
.
Geld! Struggling with organizing a group of races and people he's not familiar with, but that's just what happens in management. At least Rimuru, as a former salaryman, knows the best cure...going out for drinks and complaining about your problems to bartender Treyni! And unlike real salarymen, you can't get drunk! It's perfect
!
Got to get to work on that bridge for peaceful negotiations! But that also means dealing with Tengu
!
Benimaru and Albis may have a thing going, huh? Man, the girls sure turned on Benimaru over it. Good thing Rimuru will never lose faith in his bro
.
Hakuro! Letting Rimuru know about some ancient elven ruins he can investigate when he has the time
.
Nice to see everybody together for Rimuru's official Demon Lord congratualtion meeting...but that means now Rimuru has even MORE people he has to meet, greet, and get along with. So why not save the trouble, along with everything else going on, and make a party out of it? Announce his Demon Lord status, introduce himself to new allies, maybe hire some new laborers, and have some fun? No one throws a party like Tempest after all
