This chapter opens with a soliloquy by Rimuru, the leader of the Dwargon army. He tells the audience that he has come to speak with them about the armor that they have made for their guard forces. Rimuru asks why they are all here, and the kijin answer that they are there to answer to a slime. He then tells the story of how he sent the "most human like members" to work for the "soka" , the lizard woman. He explains that he gave her the name "blue flower" so that she would look like a "green flower" . He also explains that the "slime vesta" is a king, and that he is afraid to leave without them. He says that he cannot leave without the Kibojin, who he fears will believe he has insulted them. The soka, he says, looks like she is smiling at him, and he thinks that she is afraid of him. He asks if the forest overseer has said this, and she says that she has. He thinks that the overseer must be joking, since he has not moved his feet in the whole fight. He feels that the opponent is "lady certain shuna," and he is irritated by it. He wants to end the fight by using his sword, but he thinks it is a "psycho logical defeat." He then asks if he is done with the fight, and if the opponent has been defeated. The swordsman says that the winner is "rimuru tempest," and that the blade looks like it belongs to him, not the other way around.
