An Anomaly in the Forest

## Guide

**An Anomaly in the Forest** ｢大森林の異変, *dai shinrin no ihen*｣ is the fifteenth chapter of the manga adaptation of *That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime*.

## Summary

Rimuru decides to name the ogres. The ogre princess tries to explain there is risk in that, but Rimuru knows about it and explains its fine.

Rimuru wakes up later to the female ogres next to them, but doesn't immediately recognize them. The ogre leader approaches them and explains that all six ogres had evolved into Kijin and formerly introduces himself as Benimaru. Rimuru recalls losing consciousness when naming them and is surprised that the ogres became smaller after evolving.

The princess introduces herself as Shuna, while the other female Kijin introduces herself as Shion. The elder ogre who became somewhat younger, Hakurou. The fifth Kijin, Souei, comments that its rare for six Kijin to be born at the same time. The last Kijin, looks quite similar to his ogre form and is named Kurobe.

Meanwhile, elsewhere, the lizardman tribe head receives news that the orc tribe is preparing to attack them. What's more surprising is that the orcs work together and are around 200,000 in number. The lizardmen's chief suspects that an Orc Lord has appeared who has managed to gather the orcs. The lizardmen's chief calls his son, Gabiru, for a special mission.

Rimuru is training with Hakurou in swordsmanship, deciding to take a break after awhile, leaving Hakurou to continue to train the goblins. Benimaru explains that an Orc Lord is a unique monster that is born every couple hundred years and is able to take the fear away from his comrades. Benimaru also mentions that a majin appeared in their old village, wanting to name the ogres, but they all refused and chased him away.

Benimaru can't remember the majin's name, but Souei who appears out of nowhere, tells him its Gelmud. Souei reports that a small group of lizardmen are coming, which is rare for them who make their home in the marshlands. They are also negotiating with the nearby goblin villages and will soon come to theirs.

Shion arrives to inform them that lunch is ready and she helped preparing it. Hearing that, Souei runs away and Benimaru explains he will skip it.
