Summary[]
Ramiris has led Ranga, Rimuru and the five kids: Kenya, Ryota, Gale, Alice, and Chloe to the heart of the Labyrinth. They then instruct them on how to summon the elementals they need. Basically, they just have to go to the altar and talk to them, asking for help or asking to play are both acceptable requests.
Gale, the oldest of the five, goes first. After a few seconds of praying, some lesser elementals to show up to answer Gale's call. Great Sage proposes eating the summoned elementals using Gluttony and then fusing them using Degenerate into a greater elemental of earth, which is then fused into Gale which halts the break down of his body. An overjoyed Gale cries tears of relief and is cheered on by his classmates.
Alice goes second and once again using the Gluttony and Degenerate combo, Rimuru produces a elemental with the attribute of space and fuses it with Alice who gives Rimuru a kiss on the cheek as thanks. However, when Kenya's turn comes the Elemental of Light doesn't even wait for him to ask before it shows up. Though an enraged Ramiris orders the elemental to leave her home, it states that it came because it sensed Kenya's potential to become a Chosen Hero.
Already understanding Kenya's condition, the light elemental decides to remain fused with him until he's an adult and has the ability to regulate his own magicules. The Gluttony and Degenerate combo is used to produce a Wind and Water Elemental for Ryota, and it's successfully fused with Ryota without spectacle. Last but not least there is Chloe who before the process begins declares her love for Rimuru, remarks that their past life would've appreciated it had she been 10 yeats older.
However, when Chloe's "elemental" comes everyone is rocked with enormous pressure and instead of an elemental, a woman in white appears and kisses Rimuru. Coming in contact with Rimuru, even Veldora seems to sense the immense danger of the woman and Ramiris prepares to attack it to chase it off. However, at the last second, the ghostly woman fuses into Chloe's body, stabilizing her.
Ramiris theorizes that the woman was an entity from the future and fears for one where such a powerful being is able to run rampant. Deciding that matter has been resolved, Rimuru and the Children thanks Ramiris for all that she's done. As promised Rimuru builds a doll body out of Magic Steel and summons a daemon to inhabit it.
Returning to Kingdom of Englassia, Rimuru explains to Yuuki that the children are safe now. Yuuki explains that the nations that originally summoned the children are unlikely to try to claim them, doing so would be in blatant violation of their treaty with the Freedom Association. With that matter resolved, Yuuki asks Rimuru how they were able to stabilize the children, though instead, Rimuru bribes him into silence with an even more massive pile of Manga.
As Rimuru looks at Shizu's Anti-Magic Mask, they fondly reminisces about everything that has happened to them since arriving in this new world. Rimuru has a heartfelt departure with the students, gifting them all new robes and giving Chloe Shizu's Mask, promising that they will come and visit. As Rimuru leaves Ingracia, they explain that giving Chloe the mask felt like the natural thing to do and turns back into a slime, unaware that a woman is watching him.
Meanwhile, Rimuru is being watched through a crystal ball by an Arch Daemon whom laments that he finally had a chance to get summoned by Rimuru, but someone else got ahead of him.
