Rimuru: The seasons changed,  and summer arrived in Tempest.

Shuna: Great Rimuru.

Rimuru: Ooh, sunflowers!

Rimuru: How summery!

Shuna: Yes, I planted flowers that seemed  similar to the ones you described.

Rimuru: They're so nice.

Text: Pseudo-Sunflowers

Rimuru: Upsy-daisy.

Rimuru: Slurp...

Rimuru: Am I... being watched?

Title: Day  : Summer in Jura

Rimuru: Summer in Jura...

Rimuru: sure is hot.

Rimuru: Hey, Rigurd...

Rimuru: Everyone really seems to be struggling.

Rigurd: Yes...

Rigurd: Even I can't recall experiencing  a summer this hot before.

Rimuru: Wait, could it be...

Rimuru: that clearing the forest to build our  city changed the natural environment?

Rigurd: No, no!

Rigurd: I'm sure it's because the great  Storm Dragon disappeared!

Rimuru: O-Oh, yeah?

Rigurd: In any case, this is the work of the gods.

Rigurd: It is not your doing!

Rigurd: It was the Storm Dragon.  You're fine. Just fine.

Rimuru: Right, it was Veldora!

Rimuru: Nothing we can do about Veldora!

Rimuru: I met him...

Rimuru: I became his friend, and...

Rimuru: I ate him!

Rimuru: So this is my fault, either way!

Rimuru: Sorry, Veldora!

Veldora: No matter!

Veldora: Don't trouble yourself  over such small things!

Ifrit: You can't make that move.

Text: Double Pawn

Veldora: Huh?

Rimuru: Great Sage, get me info on the effects  of deforestation on the environment.

Great Sage: Understood.

Rimuru: Hey, you two...

Rimuru: Aren't you hot in those outfits?

Shion: Not at all. I like summer.

Shuna: I do hold an official title, after all.

Shuna: At all times, I must carry myself in a  way that will not bring shame upon me.

Rimuru: Well, as long as you don't  keel over because of it...

Shion: No need to worry!

Shion: If I get too hot, I'll just remove  a layer that isn't visible.

Shion: Like today!

Rimuru: Huh?

Shion: Wha... Hey!

Shuna: Excuse us for a moment, Great Rimuru!

Shion: What are you doing?!

Shion: Great Rimuru, this breezy  feeling is quite comfortable!

Rimuru: Yum!

Rimuru: I wonder if it's chilled yet.

Text: Barley Tea

Gobta: Wow, Great Rimuru!  Thank you so much for this!

Text: Guard

Gobta: I feel alive again!

Rimuru: Uh-huh.

Gobte: Great Rimuru!

Gobte: It's so cold and delicious!

Rimuru: Right?

Rimuru: A lot of things are nice in summer,  but this is just essential!

Gobta: Is that right? What other things are there?

Rimuru: Well, let's see...

Rimuru: When I was a kid, I liked catching bugs.

Gobta: What? Slimes catch bugs as kids?

Rimuru: Oh, uh...

Rimuru: Like this! This is the kind I liked.

Gobta: Uh... We have that kind around here, but...

Rimuru: What? Really?!

Rimuru: That's perfect! Let's go bug-catching!

Rimuru: I love bug-catching!  It really feels like summer!

Gobta: I'm... not too thrilled about this...

Rimuru: Huh?

Rimuru: What? You prefer stag beetles?

Gobta: Uh... No, it's not that...

Gobta: Guess we let our guard down,  huh, Great Rimuru?

Gobta: You guys ready?

All: Yeah!

Gobzo: Aye!

Gobta: Commence operation!

Rimuru: Gotcha!

Rimuru: Huh?!

Gobta: Now's our chance!

Gobta: Looks like you're out of a*mo, Great Rimuru!

Gobta: We're gonna leave you  soaked from head to toe.

Gobta: Head... to... toe!

Gobta: Okay, guys! b*mb him!

Rimuru: That's playing dirty!

Gobta: Don't like it? Just try and fight back!

Gobta: Ah... Look at us, toying with Great Rimuru...

Gobta: What is this feeling welling up in me?

Gobta: No fair f*ring from your mouth...

Rimuru: Sorry. I wasn't thinking.

Shion: What are you doing over there, Ranga?

Ranga: Well, lately, Great Rimuru hasn't been pla—

Range: I mean, calling me for anything.

Shion: Oh...

Ranga: He used to ride on my back everywhere...

Ranga: And after that,

Ranga: he'd let me pet him...

Shion: Pet him?

Ranga: And rub on him...

Shion: Rub on him?

Ranga: And even lick him!

Shion: L-Lick him?!

Shion: Even I haven't done that yet!

Ranga: Heh.

Ranga: Could it be that I upset  him without realizing it?

Shion: Don't know, don't care, you dumb dog!

Shion: It's probably because that mane  of yours was smothering him.

Shion: Itis summer.

Ranga: You're the one who's smothering  him by clinging to him all day,

Ranga: thoughtless woman!

Shion: First of all, as his secretary,

Shion: I'msupposed to be with him at all times!

Ranga: Well, as his attendant,I should  be with him at all times!

Shion: But rubbing...

Shion: I want to at least rub on him!

Ranga: I will not allow you...

Ranga: to do such insolent things to my master!

Ranga: No insolence!

Rimuru: They must be pretty good buddies  to wrestle in this heat.

Shion: I want to rub him!

Ranga: No insolence!

Shion: Rub...

Rimuru: Maybe I'll pair them up sometime.

Ranga: Insolence!

Shion: And maybe even... lick him!

Ranga: Why, you—

Kids: Gobta! Let's play!

Rimuru: Oh, there he is.

Rimuru: Benimaru, got a minute?

Benimaru: What is it?

Benimaru: Not another nasty trick, I hope.

Rimuru: Oh, nah.

Rimuru: Since it's crazy hot, I thought  we could make the most of it

Rimuru: and have an endurance contest.

Benimaru: I appreciate that you never get  up without a fight when you fall,

Benimaru: but what do you mean by an endurance contest?

Rimuru: An endurance contest means...

Text: The Strongest Challenger On f*re!! King of Endurance Battle 

Text: Taking on heat that surpasses their limits

Rimuru: We sit in the sun and turn up the heat...

Rimuru: Then put on more layers...

Text:   Layers

Rimuru: And finally, eat a hot pot meal.

Rimuru: And the one who resists giving  up until the end is the winner.

Rimuru: That's the basic idea.

Akina: You should do it.

Gobta: I do want to make myself stand out,  but this gives me a bad feeling.

Rimuru: Benimaru, a strong guy like you wouldn't  let a little heat get you down, right?

Benimaru: Hmm... In that case, I'll give you  a taste of my Strained Endurance.

Text: (Self-Professed)

Shion: You've done nothing that made you  look good recently, after all.

Benimaru: You shut up!

Shion: Well, it's the truth.

Benimaru: Why, you...

Benimaru: Just watch, you deplorable secretary!

Benimaru: This is how a warrior of flame lives!

Text:Forest of Jura Endurance Contest

Soka: Oh, no! The hot pot has taken  out all of the competitors!

Text: Sponsor

Rimuru: I can't believe Benimaru lost!

Shion: I wonder what happened...

Gobta: I'm so glad I didn't enter!

Gobta: Yow, it's hot! What is all this?!

Gobta: This is an actual endurance contest!

Kurobei: It's a blacksmith shop. What'd ya expect?

Gobta: You're sweating like crazy, Kurobei!

Gobta: Are you okay?

Kurobei: Oh, yeah. I'm thick-skinned,  so it doesn't bother me.

Kurobei: Oh, that's right. Your w*apon.

Kurobei: Sorry you had to wait so long for it.

Gobta: I can't believe Kurobei can still smile

Gobta: when he's been shut up in  here in the height of summer.

Kurobei: Y'know...

Kurobei: I was just plugging away,  and before I knew it, I'd made this.

Gobta: I think... you should probably  take some time to cool off...

Rimuru: Did you just hear something?

Shion: No.

Rimuru: Sh-Shion... Might I ask what you're doing?

Shion: Rubbing on you.

Rimuru: Oh, okay.

Shuna: Shion...

Shuna: Please let me hold Great Rimuru, too.

Shion: Oh, no, you can't do that.

Shion: This is his secretary's job.

Rimuru: Uh, it's not really, actually...

shuna: Great Rimuru just said that's not true.

Shion: Well, it is true.

Shion: Grr!

Shuna: Great Rimuru!

Shion: Rub, rub!

Shuna: Give me a turn already!

Shion: I refuse!

Rimuru: Come on, ladies! Be nice! Nice, I say!

Both: R-Right...

Rimuru: Sheesh. What do they think I am, a pet?

Rimuru: Well, it's not a bad feeling, though.

Rimuru: My name is Rimuru Tempest.

Rimuru: I was just a lowly salaryman,

Rimuru: but then I got s*ab to death  and reincarnated in another world.

Rimuru: Next thing I knew, I was a  mascot for these cute girls.

Shion: Hm, he's starting to feel a bit warm.

Shuna: Great Rimuru, can you  cool yourself down a bit?

Text:Cooling Water Pillow

Shion: He's cooler now.

Shuna: You're the best, Great Rimuru.

Rimuru: I just happen to be giving these two  some extra kindness today, that's all.

Rimuru: I am most certainly not spoiling them.

Great Sage: Sudden acceleration of  thought pattern detected.

Text: This is the most basic reaction  that occurs when one is lying

Great Sage: This is the most basic reaction  that occurs when one is lying—

Rimuru: Hush!

Ririna: It's been extremely hot for several days.

Ririna: On top of that, it looks like they  didn't take well to the soil.

Ririna: I tried several different  things to help, but...

Geld: I see.

Ririna: Oh, but a few of the plants  survived, so there is hope.

Ririna: Here.

Ririna: Since this one lived, go ahead and eat it.

Ririna: Are you sure that was all right?

Treyni: Here is your Tempest Blue.

Rimuru: Ooh! It looks nice and cool!

Treyni: Please, enjoy it while it's cold.

Rimuru: Hey, I think I taste mint!

Treyni: I used cooling herbs instead of alcohol.

Rimuru: I'm not a child, you know...

Rimuru: But the cool sensation makes it  perfect for a hot summer like this!

Treyni: Yes, this summer is indeed quite hot.

Treyni: But in the long term,  it is but a fluctuation.

Treyni: This may be the initial  swing or the return swing.

Rimuru: Unfortunately, I'm not that good  at looking at the long term.

Treyni: This forest has changed a great  deal, thanks to your help.

Treyni: And the people of this town are adapting  well to these unexpected changes.

Treyni: You need not worry. I know  everything will work out.

Rimuru: Thanks, Treyni-san.

Treyni: Easing the hearts of patrons is  one of Snack Bar Jura's jobs.

Haruna: Welcome!

Kaijin: Ah, the mistress is here today.

Treyni: Oh, Mister Kaijin. Welcome back.

Rimuru: Speaking of unexpected...

Rimuru: This bar wasn't yours before,  was it, Treyni-san?

Treyni: Oh, dear.

Rimuru: I'm pretty sure it was supposed  to be named "Goblina," too.

Treyni: Everyone is adapting well.

Gobta: Hey, Great Rimuru. This is where you've been?

Gobta: The fireflies are swarming!  Let's go see them!

Rimuru: Now, now, Gobta-kun. Not so loud.

Gobta: Come on, hurry!

Gobta: We might never see a swarm like this again!

Rimuru: Whoa, wait...

Treyni: Have a good evening, Great Rimuru.

Rimuru: Sheesh, what am I gonna do with you?

Rimuru: Sorry. I'll come back.

Rimuru: When I was a kid, all my energy  went into summer vacation.

Rimuru: I'd get up early, even if I had no plans,

Rimuru: and stay up late until I passed out.

Rimuru: Everything I saw looked dazzlingly bright,

Rimuru: and I fully absorbed everything I did.

Rimuru: Now that I think about it,  this is summer vacation, too.

Rimuru: I treat every day as new and  enjoy it to the fullest...

Rimuru: and I'll fill every page of this diary.

Rimuru: I wonder if it'll be this hot again tomorrow.

Rimuru: That's my endless summer vacation.

Rimuru: A tradition every summer in Jura:

Rimuru: the appearance of a multitude of slimes.

Shion: Great Rimuru!

Men: Great Rimuru!

Women: Don't go back to your family!

Rimuru: But you guys are my family.

Rimuru: I guess this world has  cumulonimbus clouds, too.

Rimuru: The sunflowers are a bit off, though.
