Paradise, Once More

Paradise, Once More (楽園、再び) is the twenty-seventh episode of the anime adaptation That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime and the third episode of the second season.

Synopsis
Rimuru meets with King Gazel and a performs a speech to the people of Dwargon following the declaration of mutual friendship between the Armed Nation and Tempest. After completing these two major tasks, Rimuru slips out from Shuna and Shion's sight and triumphantly heads to "that paradise," which he once promised to Gobta.

Summary
The meeting between Rimuru and Gazel, accompanied by Shion and Dorf respectively, begins. Immediately, Rimuru thanks Gazel for repealing their previous exile and the exile of their Dwarven friends. Admittedly, it pained Gazel to exile Garm, Dord, Myrd, and Kaijin, however, their contributions to Tempest have been extraordinary. Vesta was invited to come too, however, he declined due to not producing research results that he considered sufficient. Amused by hearing this, Gazel changes the subject to a more serious matter about the weapon used against Charybdis.

Disconcerted by the question, Rimuru confesses that it was Demon Lord Milim who used her ridiculous magic to destroy the monster. Believing that Rimuru isn't lying about this, despite initial disbelief, Gazel accepts this as fact. Just then Shuna arrives with a tray of Apple Brandy and serves it to everyone. Gazel and Dorf enjoy the brandy's taste and Gazel suspects that it was Dord who distilled the fine liquor to which, Rimuru confirms. This leads to Rimuru to reveal Tempest's trades with Eurazania, which astounds Gazel and Dorf.

It's mentioned that a trade alliance between the two factions could easily out do the merchant monopoly held by Falmuth. Regardless of that, Gazel once again compliments the drink as one better than any he's gotten from the west.

Changing the subject, Rimuru asks Gazel about Falmuth and he answers that it's one of the top two western providences. Furthermore, in Gazel's opinion, he dislikes King Edmaris Falmuth for his avaricious nature. The meeting then abruptly ends due to Shion's drunken stupor and is lead to her room by Rimuru and Shuna.

Eventually a formal announcement between Gazel and Rimuru about their kingdoms' declaration of friendship with each other is made. However, after the this, Rimuru is repremanded by Gazel for their speech being too humble and light-hearted. Still though, Rimuru appreciates the advice given to them by Gazel, and with all of the formalities out of the way, Rimuru plans on heading to the one spot in Dwargon where they can finally relax and indulge in idle foolery.

Afterward, Rimuru, Gobta, and the other Goblin Riders all visit the Night Butterfly Bar and meet Kaijin, Kaidou, Garm, Dord, and Myrd.

While they're there, Gobta performs some tricks with a stool for the ladies and because of the sexy appearance of one of the ladies he faucets blood out of his eyes, ears and nose, causing him to faint. Soon, Rimuru talks with the barkeep about selling Tempest's Apple Brandy in the bar, which shifts to the speech given earlier that day. The barkeep compliments it as she'd love to see a nation where multiple races can co-exist with one another without restraint.

Outside of the bar, the group is confronted by a livid Shuna and Shion. Beseeching to the two forgiveness using their cuteness, which works, however, they still impose a harsh punishment on Rimuru by having them taste Shion's cooking for a week.

Meanwhile, in the Falmuth Kingdom, a man known as Isaac introduces Mjurran to Youm and his group. She notes the inadequate number of magicians in Youm's party and seeks to join it to help balance it. Initially, they decline, but she proves her magical prowess in a one on one match against Youm to convince them to let her join the group.
