This was more to my liking. Discussions with ramifications and some intrigue to be excited about. I hope that, however war is averted (I still expect it to be), it is at least more interesting than 'Don't you like our hotsprings? Oh? You're Japanese, too? Lets be friends!'. These other summoned people, if powerful enough and not caring about the balance of this world, might also be unreasonable and cause some real conflict.

I want Rimuru to have to bend, for a change, to keep the peace.

Also, around 6 minutes in, a new(?) BGM started playing that finally gave the feeling of the Sim City ambience some of y'all have been talking about.
