What happened during the time I was reincarnated as a slime, season 3, episode #20?

Rimuru hosts a huge banquet

Back then I was reborn as slime Episode 20 began with Rimuru hosting a feast for all of his most important guests, including kings and empresses from all over the world. He started with sushi prepared by Hakuro, which was enthusiastically received by otherworlders like Hinata and Yuuki Kagurazaka, while the locals of this world were a bit hesitant – especially because the meat came from a monster fish. They soon tried it, however, and discovered their love for Tempest’s cooking when the full menu was served.

However, there was a small altercation with one of Milim’s guardians, who criticized the preparation methods of this feast. Shuna, who had prepared much of the food for this event, took this a little personally, but fervently asked the man to at least try it once. Shocked by the taste, he soon took back his words. The next day, Rimuru gave a speech about his intentions and plans for Tempest, inviting anyone who wanted to live there to join them. Rimuru’s former students who listened to the speech seemed a little shocked to finally realize that Rimuru is truly a king.
