That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime Season 4 Episode 4 – A Brief Recap
Episode 4 kicked off with Rimuru’s avatar team, the Dungeon Dominators, “practicing” on other adventurer teams in anticipation of Team Green Fury’s return. Continuing the tone of comedy, as Rimuru and the others returned from the dungeons, they were greeted by Shura, who informed them about Frey’s visit. Seeing Milim there, Frey confronted her and dragged her back home. Meanwhile, Gard comes in bearing news of the Western Council meeting.
On the other side, Western Nations gathered around to deliberate whether or not to add the Jura Tempest Federation to their council. After some swaying from Johann, the addition was decided based on majority vote. As Hinata was leaving the meeting, she was intercepted by the first prince of Englassia, with the offer to stand against Rimuru. However, she refuses and warns the prince before leaving.
