Synopsis

Raja is a small country located to the west of Tempest. The country once prospered from mining gold, but it is now a mere shadow of its former glory. Its lake has become poisoned from mining and the country is in a crisis. The country’s queen, Towa, uses the magical power in her tiara, which has been passed down through successive generations, to neutralize the poison and protect the citizens. But the cost of using the tiara is a curse placed upon her body that is slowly killing her. Meanwhile, a surviving ogre from the Ogre Village named Hiiro suddenly appears in Tempest. He claims to have been the older brother of Benimaru and his friends, and was rescued by Towa, who saved his life. In order to protect Towa and her country, Hiiro has come to Tempest seeking aid from Rimuru and has a fateful reunion with Benimaru. Now, in order to save Raja in their time of need and get to the bottom of the mysterious curse afflicting Towa, Rimuru and the others head to Raja, where a surprising conspiracy awaits them!
