That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime: Visions of Coleus (転生したらスライムだった件 コリウスの夢) blends action, adventure and comedy by 8-bit and Asahi Production (2023). Below is a fresh retelling of what the story is about. The setup: Rimuru has saved the children he was teaching in the Realm of Engrassia, and his time as a teacher is nearly over. Then Yuuki, Grandmaster of the Free Union, asks him to get to the bottom of the race for the throne in the Kingdom of Coleus, which is located between Engrassia and the Holy Empire of Lubelius.

Beyond that: Rimuru infiltrates Coleus under the name "Satoru," and he comes across a nation at the mercy of not only a fight for succession, but a web of schemes woven by demons and vampires!
