Summary[]
Following a tip from a waitress, Rimuru and the kids, Kenya, Alice, Gale, Ryota, and Chloe plus Ranga arrive in Republic of Ulgracia's national park where they enter the Dwelling of the Elementals. Thanks to Rimuru's mental map, navigating the labyrinth is surprisingly easy in spite of numerous traps designed to confuse their sense of direction.
The group hears a voice talking to them which leads them to a Golem who is apparently their 'first test.' After considering a couple of options, Rimuru opts to simply incapacitate his enemy with Mystic Thread Binding and finish it off with Hell Flare. After taking a moment to accept the applause of the students, Rimuru spots the figure that sicced the golem on them and threatens her with the same fate if she doesn't reveal herself.
A terrified pixie introduces herself as Demon Lord Ramiris of the Labyrinth. Rimuru doesn't believe her, having already met the likes of Milim and Carrion and concluded that she is far too weak to be a Demon Lord. Based on what Rimuru has said, Ramiris also realizes that Rimuru is the slime that took control over the Jura Forest, leading Rimuru to reveal to the students their slime form.
Taking a break for the time being Ramiris, while eating the cookies Rimuru prepared for the students, explains that her Elemental Colossus, as she calls it, is a sophisticated creation of dwarf-elf engineering that she modified using a combination of elementals to make it work, leading Rimuru to realize that the Golem was Vesta's failed Magisoldier project.
Rimuru also comes to the understanding that Ramiris possesses the skill set needed to fix the students' rampant magicules and thus asks for her help and in exchange, will build her a new golem. Thus Rimuru asks her to introduce them to the Elemental Queen, to which Ramiris also claims, having originally been the Queen of Elementals but then fell from grace and became a Demon Lord.
While on the subject, Ramiris also mentions that another Demon Lord, Leon Cromwell, was originally a Chosen hero. He had originally come to Ramiris trying to summon a specific individual. When that failed, he instead summoned Ifrit and Ramiris had no other choice but to give him the holy spirit's blessing. Ramiris leads Rimuru to the Dwelling of elementals where she explains that they can summon existing greater elementals or make new ones by splitting them off from the great spirits.
With this, Rimuru promises to resolve Shizu's lingering regrets about the kids.
