There's also a ramen shop, which Hinata figures a direct influence from the new Demon Lord. After enjoying a sumptuous meal, they arrive at the Great Jura Forest and finds out how the nation accommodates a peaceful co-existence of humans and monsters.

Elsewhere, Soei reports to Rimuru about that Hinata Sakaguchi will reach the nation within the evening. They discuss their plans, and the slime gears up to meet her. Meanwhile, the Seven Days Clergy meet Renard and implore him to take down Rimuru Tempest.

They lie to him that the slime must have brainwashed Hinata through a spell, so only by eliminating the him he can free her from his control. Interestingly, Renard falls into their trickery. He marches his troops toward the Jura Tempest but gets ambushed by Shion's special squad, the Team Reborn.
