50K does sound like a lot if the population is only 150K. I wonder if the author just pulled that number because of the Tokyo Dome or the real life Colosseum that is thought to have been in that range.

And yeah, this does feel more like Slime Diaries than the main show, but at least that makes all the meetings and transitions more interesting and fun compared to the first half. I can't help but think the author does better with world-building SoL than any attempt at doing a serious plot with stakes.

Nice to see some old friends you'd probably have forgotten unless you'd done a recent rewatch.


I agree with this. For me Slime is at its most entertaining when its doing SoL and comedy related stuff rather than the serious arcs.

I wonder about Ramiris just abandoning her duties as Queen of the spirits, guarding the intersection between the great spirits and the mortal realm in her dungeon. Yes she has always been a mostly joke character but she had a role before. Now she really does seem like a vagrant.

I also curious about wether the Lycanthropes would want to be all housed in a labyrnth surrounded by untamed and uncivilised monsters. Also feels a bit weird to setup a monster farming dungeon under a nation of civilised monsters. Its like your encouraging human heroes to see monsters as barbaric even while doing the whole civilization thing above. I suppose on the surface level its just a society doing the isekai free resources from a magical dungeon thing. It just becomes another layer of ignoring the logistics of tempest so the show would not be any different.

Could you imagine the tempest orcs eating orc meat burgers from resources from the dungeon?

Queenie seems like she would fit right in on the praise Rimuru squad over food and free trade.

considering that the light novels sayd things differently regarding ramiris, its par fod the course!

Then we get to see what Shuna is working on—and in the process get introduced to Yoshida, a chef who was also transported to this world from Japan.




actually, the chief was also reincarnated too

Figures Gazel would take Rimuru's new Demon Lord status and power in stride. They are buddies after all!

Good to know for future reference that Treyni would probably rob a bank if Ramiris told her too, and Beretta is the only one with common sense in this trio. Thank goodness Rimuru found a way to keep Ramiris employed and enjoying herself before she caught a bigger mess.

Elmesia feels like a political leader you don't want to mess with though she really roasted Erald as both a father and political figure.

I did some wiki browsing and am now super confused about the structure of Sarion's royal family—mainly in how everyone is related to Elmesia given her age and lineage. I think I need to see a family tree.


Basically spoiler[El is more than 2k years old. When she grew up she rounded up the Elven royal households that would eventually become the Thalion of today. Erald is her paternal uncle which makes Elyun/Ellen her first cousin. El's mom is also still alive and fairly powerful. Unfortunately not much is known about the other members of the elven royalty besides them]

Quote:
Why does Erald hide his ears even within his kingdom and in front of his emperor?


spoiler[Erald is using one of Thalion's most prized products, a homunculus body. They use it by transferring their soul to it temporarily, taking control of it, and returning their souls to their true bodies once they're back home. Its used by high ranking nobles and royalty when they leave to go abroad as a security measure and they can choose to wear human homunculus bodies to hide the fact that they're elves from slavers. Like Ellen, Erald can also hide his elven ears using magic.]
