That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime (Episode 60) – Festival Preparations

That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime 3 Title

Now that there’s an agreement with Luminous, Rimuru can focus his attention on Tempest’s festival to announce his ascension to Demon Lord. He’s also got some big plans for the future and is prepared to call on everyone for a favour!

That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime (Episode 60) – Festival Preparations

What happened?

Everyone is working hard to prepare for the festival. Rimuru has even talked all of his generals into delivering some sort of presentation to show off the country’s wares. Vesta and Gabiru are going to present their advances in healing potions in the hopes of getting more interested parties to assist with their research. Shuna asked Rimuru’s help to get a famous pastry chef who was summoned from the same world as Rimuru to help with her presentation. Of course, Shion is planning something and the thought of it is scaring Rimuru. Although, that might be nothing considering Veldora wants to run a Tappenyaki stall…

Rimuru decides to call in some favours to make the festival extra special and also to set things up for the future. His first port of call was with Gard Mjollmile, the merchant who he had previously tasked with setting up a fast food chain. However, for the festival, he wants the five best employees that Mjollmile has to assist Veldora so that things go well. Of course, if they know that it is Veldora the Catastrophe, things might get a little tense. Rimuru decides that Veldora will use an alias so that no one knows it’s him.

There’s more though, as Rimuru wants to put on something grand and has come to Mjollmile for ideas. They come up with the idea of hosting a martial arts tournament. Rimuru likes the sound of that. However, he wants to make it bigger than anything the world has seen. He will build a venue that holds fifty thousand people and make it free for everyone. Of course, having a guaranteed seat would cost money, which the nobles would definitely pay. There are plans to use it throughout the year too. Mjollmile is overwhelmed by the possibilities and while it will be hard, he can’t possibly let this opportunity go, especially as Rimuru wants him to move to Tempest too and will give him a position in his government.

What did you think?

So, this is the beginning of the next arc which appears to have a festival component and likely a martial arts tournament too. We’re calling in all the big gun story arcs from the Shounen library now! As you might expect from That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime, things are slowing down again with most of this episode featuring the discussion between Rimuru and Mjollmile. We got to hear a lot of their thoughts as they discussed the ideas for the festival. I loved how Rimuru basically came up with stuff on the fly to get Mjollmile involved and then pretended he already thought of stuff when Mjollmile expressed another idea. I loved the way he came up with using the martial arts tournament as a way to market their healing potions.

As much as I love this show, it really isn’t one that’s suited to episode reviews. I reviewed the first two season four episodes at a time and I should have done the same here. I think that allows enough to happen that I can really talk about rather than trying to pick apart a single conversation. I’m about to take a break for the summer so this feels like a good place to stop for now. I’ll pick the series up again once I’m back, although I’ve not decided whether I’ll continue with episode reviews or switch back to the four episodes at a time method. Either way, I will finish the season and plan on watching any more they make. I love the world-building that’s gone into this series and then seeing Rimuru build his world on top of that.
