Inherited Will (受け継がれる想い) is the eighth episode of the anime adaptation of That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime.

Synopsis
Shizu tells Rimuru about The Chosen Hero who took her in and showed her the right path before mysteriously disappearing one day. Sensing her life is coming to an end, Shizu asks Rimuru to convey her final wishes to Leon before asking them to eat her, as she does not wish to die in this world that she has bitter feelings towards. This gives Rimuru the ability to take a human form. As Rimuru decides to seek out information on Leon to fulfill the promise to Shizu, a masked man named Gelmud is shown recruiting an orc that he names Geld with the intention of bringing forth a Great Orc Disaster in Jura Forest.

Plot
Rimuru is inside of Shizu's room, waiting for her safe recovery. Shizu is depressed as she nearly killed her friends as Ifrit again. To cheer herself up, Shizu wants to tell her life story to Rimuru, and Rimuru complies, learning about the events that shaped her life after coming to the new world. One day, Shizu's master, Leon Cromwell, was finally chased from his castle and Shizu was left behind as the rear guard.

When Ifrit realized that they couldn't defeat The Hero, it's fear gave Shizu an opening to reclaim control over her body and with the Anti-Magic Mask the Hero originally wore, the influence of the Flame Elemental could be suppressed altogether. More importantly, Shizu was able to make Ifrit's power her own and use it freely, hence her eventually becoming known as the conqueror of flames.

One day though, the Hero disappeared without warning or explanation. After a long career as a solo adventurer, the influence of Ifrit began to assert itself on Shizu's body whixh had been exhausted to the limited from their constant mental battle. To minimize her reliance on the dangerous power that would allow the Flame Elemental to rampage freely again, Shizu retired and became a teacher, where she would take in otherworlderss, and learn about their abilities and the modern world they now live in.

One of them even became the Grandmaster of the freedom association. However, the strain placed on Shizu's body was growing too great, with her declining vitality only barely keeping Ifrit at bay. Hence Shizu's last quest: to find Leon and make him tell her the information she wants to know. While Shizu is glad she got to spend the last few days of her life with such good people, she has a new request not for Rimuru, but for Satoru Mikami.

Shizu wishes to die among the memories of her homeland so that she is not subjected to the cruel cycle of reincarnation of this world, and thus asks that the slime eat her as they had the cursed monster that had tormented her. Rimuru agrees and declares that they will find the man responsible for her fate and make him aknowledge her existence.

Deep inside of Rimuru, in the corner of Shizu'a dying conciousness, She is accompanied by visions of her slain friends and her dead mother, as her long hard life ends peacefully. Later, Kaval's Party and Rigurd arrive in Shizu's room to find Rimuru in the form of a naked human, a slightly younger and androgynous version of Shizu with blue hair and golden eyes.

Giving the group an explanation as to what happened, Rimuru transforms back into slime form and apologizes to the group for the impromptu private burial. Before the three adventurers leave, they ask Rimuru to turn back into Shizu's form so that they can at least say farewell to their friend's image.

Before the three Adventurer's leave though, Rimuru has the dwarfs' manufacture new and improved equipment for the three of them. The group in turn promises to give a positive review of the village and recommend noninterference with their affairs.

An orc is seen traveling through the desert, weary and exhausted. Just when he collapses, he is met with Gelmud who offers him meat and a name: Geld.
