Update: That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime Season 3 Episode 16 is now streaming on Crunchyroll!
That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime Season 3 recently introduced new characters, adding more to its already large cast even further. The big festival finally started, and with the event comes some familiar faces returning. Milim appeared in the dungeon that Rimuru and Ramiris were creating, and demanded to be involved with he plan. The previous episode also saw the beginning of Rimuru's official duties, welcoming groups of representatives who have traveled from afar to pay tribute to their new Demon Lord.
The official website of the isekai anime has revealed preview stills and the synopsis for Season 3 Episode 16, which is titled Benimaru's Ordeal, and it's expected to adapt a large part of Chapter 106 of the source material, skipping over most of Chapter 105. However, it seems likely that Episode 16 will return to Chapter 105 since Tengu was introduced at the end of Episode 15. The upcoming episode will likely explain the attempts at negotiation with these isolated people. It seems that the Tengu have quite a few surprises to show. Episode 16 will likely reveal if it's possible to negotiate a proper treaty with the Tengu, or if it's just a lost cause.

Rimuru has officially become a Demon Lord after defeating Clayman. Following Walpurgis, the Demon Lords’ banquet, Rimuru’s domain is expanded to include the entire Great Forest of Jura. Anticipating a flood of representatives from all races showing up to pay their respects, Rimuru decides to throw a festival to commemorate the opening of Tempest, using it as an opportunity to gain new citizens and present Demon Lord Rimuru to the world. Meanwhile, in the Holy Empire of Lubelius, home base of the monster-hating cult of Luminism, Holy Knight Captain Hinata receives a message from Rimuru. But the message is actually a fabricated declaration of war sent by some unknown party. Upon learning that Hinata is heading for Tempest, Rimuru makes a decision… Thus begins a new challenge for Rimuru, striving to distinguish friend from foe in a pursuit of the ideal nation where humans and monsters can prosper together.
