Demon Lord Milim Attacks

Demon Lord Milim Attacks (魔王ミリム来襲) is the sixteenth episode of the anime adaptation of That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime.

Synopsis
King Gazel Dwargo brings over Vesta as a researcher, while Gabiru and other Lizardmen join Tempest and are named.

Everyone gets assigned to their own posts, wherein the meantime, Demon Lords Clayman, Frey, Carrion, and Milim Nava watch a recording of Rimuru's battle against Geld.

Agreeing to cancel the non-aggression pact on the Jura Forest with these other Demon Lords, Milim arrives at Tempest where she beats Rimuru's top subordinates with ease but quickly gives up on conflict after falling under temptation of Apito's Honey. The two of them become best friends and Milim decides to live there, unbeknownst to Rimuru about the imbalance of the power struggle between the Demon Lords this just caused.

Summary
Two days after formalizing an alliance between the Armed Nation of Dwargon and the Jura Tempest Federation, King Gazel returns to the federation. But before he does, Gazel leaves Rimuru his former lead scientist Vesta in their care. This is because of Vesta's previous actions, he's stripped of his minister rank, but at the same, they can't let his talents go to waste lazing about doing nothing. So as a compromise, Gazel dumps Vesta onto Rimuru, and tells them to do whatever they'd like with him.

Vesta takes the opportunity to apologize for how he treated Kaijin and Rimuru in the past and promises his king that he will not disappoint him a second time. Once Gazel leaves, the group focuses on another group of uninvited guests: Gabiru, his sister alongside several of their fellow Lizardmen have arrived at Rimuru's village hoping to be of use to the slime.

Once initial hostilities are out of the way, Gabiru and his men prostrates themselves before Rimuru and swear loyalty to them. Gabiru's sister and her subordinates, on the other hand, have been sent over to develop their abilities. As is a tradition by now, Rimuru gives the sister the name Souka and ends up renaming Gabiru. Once all of their subordinates have been named the next step becomes a division of labor.

Several of the Lizardmen, including Souka, have evolved into Dragonewts possessing human-like appearances and so have been assigned under Souei's spy corps. Gabiru and his men, also now Dragonewts, on the other hand, have been put to work growing Hipokte Grass in the Sealed Cave, but have somehow been growing weeds instead. Vesta has set up a lab inside of the cave where he's trying to reverse engineer Rimuru's potion crafting capabilities.

In the meantime, Clayman alongside fellow Demon Lords Carrion, Frey, and Milim Nava are watching the Orc Disaster's death by Rimuru on a crystal ball. Milim decides to abolish the treaty that she and the other Demon Lords signed which prevents them from entering Jura Forest so that she can investigate what happened. Rimuru senses Milim's approach and rushes outside of city limits in time to witness her crash landing.

After getting introductions out of the way Milim confirms that Rimuru is the one who killed the Orc Disaster via her "Milim Eye". Rimuru also immediately confirms that they stand no chance against Milim in a sttaight fight, her powers being over ten times greater than their own. Apparently, feeling the same way, Ranga grabs Rimuru and runs away while Shion, Benimaru, and Souei launch a cooperative attack on Milim to which she shrugs off without even taking a scratch.

However, instead of fighting Milim, Rimuru calms her down with Apito's Honey and promises her more as long as she doesn't cause trouble. As a compromise, Milim declares a draw and thus receives more of the honey, to the disbelief of Rimuru's dumbfounded subordinates. While eating, Milim questions Rimuru on if they want to become a Demon Lord, to which Rimuru insists would be too much work and eventually concludes that Milim must lead a pretty boring life.

Because of this, Milim bullies Rimuru into letting her stay in Tempest. Unfortunately, Gabiru comes along and accidentally insults Milim, who promptly punches him through the road. Deciding to avoid the issue in the future, Rimuru calls an assembly in the town and introduces Milim. Milim's fame causes the townspeople to immediately recognize and cheer for her. Milim also succeeds in convincing Rimuru into a relationship of "besties".

Later that night, Rimuru, Milim, Shion, and Shuna are all having a bath together in the hot springs. Once Rimuru confirms the girls are settled, Rimuru enters a meeting with Benimaru, Souei, Hakurou, Kaijin, and Rigurd on what they should do with Milim. Simply put, if a Demon Lord starts running around town calling their leader her Bestie then it could invite attention from the other Demon Lords. That, aside from leaving a temperamental powder keg like Milim to run wild, is simply not acceptable.

Ultimately the others conclude to leave her care to her 'Bestie' Rimuru.
