After the events of Walpurgis, Rimuru celebrates his recognition as a Demon Lord and his induction into the Octagram—an alliance of eight Demon Lords—with an exciting dinner party hosted by Guy Crimson. The feast is incredibly delicious, and the participants, including the other Demon Lords, enjoy a variety of delectable dishes and refreshing drinks. Rimuru's interest in the recipes leads to a successful analysis by Raphael.

Rimuru returns to his nation, Tempest, and is warmly welcomed by his subjects and allies. Diablo reports on his diplomatic efforts with the Kingdom of Falmuth. Following Falmuth's defeat and the measures taken against its leaders and military, Diablo presents the kingdom with three grand options: reparations, vassalage, or the continuation of conflict, as dictated by Rimuru.

The episode also explains Tempest's strategic positioning against Falmuth. Diablo manipulates events to ensure a favorable outcome for Tempest. By demanding an exorbitant compensation sum, Diablo creates conditions that inevitably force Falmuth to opt for financial reparations. This weakens its royal authority and corners King Edmaris. This strategy aims to secure an advantageous position for Tempest and its allies, including Youm, who will play a key role in the upcoming negotiations.

Meanwhile, Tempest prepares for the potential outcomes of the negotiations. The episode concludes with anticipation for the next steps and the introduction of "The Intentions of the Saint" for the upcoming episode!
