What is That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime: Visions of Coleus about?
That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime: Visions of Coleus is originally a text story included in a bonus booklet of the anime’s second season Blu-ray. Set between the first and second seasons, it sees Rimuru going to the Kingdom of Coleus. But this time, he will turn into a spy and investigate political issues as a conflict to claim the throne of Coleus begins.
Rimuru will go on a secret mission, following the Grand Master of the Free Guild’s order to investigate the suspicious conflict in the Kingdom of Coleus, which is located between the Kingdom of Ingrassia and the Holy Empire of Ruberius. But he will not do this alone, as he will take some of his friends with him and will disguise themselves as regular people, eventually taking on the role of spies. He will even take the name of Satoru. As his investigation begins, he finds out there’s a bigger problem happening here that involves demons and vampires.
You can read the synopsis below:
Rimuru spends his remaining days as a teacher saving children in the Kingdom of Ingrasia. One day, he hears a request from Yuuki, the Grand Master of the Freedom Association. The content was that they wanted us to find out the inner workings of the struggle for succession to the throne that was occurring in the "Kingdom of Coleus," which was sandwiched between the Kingdom of Ingrasia and the Holy Papacy, Ruberios. Rimuru begins an undercover investigation in the Kolius Kingdom under the name "Satoru." However, the situation is not limited to a fight for succession to the throne of a country but also involves the intentions of demons and vampires and becomes extremely chaotic!
