The second cour of That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime Season 4 kicked off with Episode 13, titled “New Companions,” on July 3, 2026. The episode shifts focus from large-scale battles to the quieter, yet equally important, work of building Rimuru’s nation. It shows how new alliances and smart planning continue to strengthen Tempest’s power.
The episode brings in a lazy new demon lord, brings a spirit back from the dead, and shows Veldora playing with a baby dragon. Here is a complete breakdown of everything that happened in the latest episode.
Rimuru Stuck With Paperwork While Veldora Trains Gaia
The episode opens with Rimuru buried in paperwork back at home. His nation is growing fast, and that means more work for the Demon Lord. Meanwhile, Veldora is busy teaching Gaia, the reincarnation of Elemental Dragon Gaia. Elemental Dragons are the origin of all dragon species, and there are currently four True Dragons in existence.
Rimuru is getting ready to make hundreds of artificial bodies because Diablo and his group are about to arrive. Ramiris tells Rimuru she is working on advanced spirit bodies for future residents of the new labyrinth. But Ramiris has too much work on her plate. The size of the project is so big that she is struggling to keep up. The first part of the episode sets up all the preparation work needed so the new allies will have places to stay when they arrive.
Deeno Joins Tempest as Ramiris’s New Assistant
Deeno, a demon lord, has been kicked out of his previous home and goes to Rimuru for a place to stay. Rimuru is not sure about taking in someone known for being lazy. But he changes his mind when Guy Crimson sends a letter of recommendation for Deeno.
Rimuru agrees to let Deeno stay under one condition: Deeno must make a real effort to help out. This subplot adds some lighthearted humor to the episode. Deeno quickly starts working as Ramiris’s assistant. Rimuru learns that Ramiris was rushing to create more Dryads and Spirits. This had a direct impact on Tempest’s workforce and gave the country more helping hands for future challenges.
Ifrit Returns With a New Form
Veldora wants his own assistant, so he asks Rimuru to bring Ifrit back to life. At first, Rimuru is unsure because he remembers Ifrit’s suffering while trapped with Shizu. But he decides to go ahead after confirming that Ifrit wants to serve Veldora.
Rimuru uses many different materials and mixes Veldora’s magic with some of Charybdis’s power to create a very strong Ifrit. Rimuru did not realize that by doing this, Ifrit’s new body would be female. The new Ifrit does not have any anger toward Rimuru and instead wants to serve Veldora above Leon.
After Veldora gives Ifrit the name Charys, Charys evolves into a Flame Lord. Charys can change form to be male or female, depending on which elemental power is being used. This new version of Ifrit is an exciting part of the episode.
Tempest’s Workforce Grows Before Diablo’s Return
More Dryads turn into Treants, giving them physical bodies. This helps solve the lack of workers in Tempest. With Deeno joining and the rebirth of Charys, the nation is getting ready for Diablo to arrive soon.
The episode focuses on building up Tempest’s strength through new members and preparations. It shows that Rimuru’s nation is not just about fighting. Smart planning and bringing in the right people are just as important for long-term growth.
