That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime: Season 3, Episode 16 – Benimaru’s Visit to the Tengu’s Village
Continuing from the previous episode, season 3 episode 16 of That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime starts with Rimuru Tempest hosting an audience ceremony for the Tengus. The episode delves into the origins of the Tengus, who are actually angels reborn as wolf-like creatures.
In a parallel to Ranga’s tribe, these beings are comparable to an angel who takes on the form of an individual and gives birth to packs. Episode 16 of That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime season 3 introduces Momiji, the Tengu’s representative and daughter of the revered Tengu elder, who is regarded as the deity of the mountains.
The episode continues with a flashback, where Benimaru and Albis are seen traveling to the Tengu’s village in the Kusha mountains as representatives seeking approval for the construction of a highway to Thalion. Only the two of them were granted access to the hidden village of the Tengus.
Upon being welcomed by Momiji, the daughter of the Tengu’s leader, the group was asked if they intended to stake claim to the land. However, Benimaru clarified that their only request was for permission to pass through the Kusha mountains and potentially construct a highway by digging a hole through them.
Benimaru reassured them that he would not pressure them into agreeing. However, Momiji and the rest of the group were not happy with the proposition and Momiji even went as far as teasing Albis, referring to her as a “foul serpent.”This sparked a conflict that was eventually diffused by Benimaru, who showcased his Haze ability.
The plot of episode 16 of That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime season 3 then featured Kaede, the Tengu elder, appearing at the location. She apologized for her daughter’s actions and praised Benimaru’s haze skill, which she had also learned from her master, Araki Byakuya.
Kaede shared her past, revealing that she had been romantically involved with Hakuro, the grandchild of Araki Byakuya. During that time, Hakuro did not have a name and they both trained in the Ogres village to improve their sword fighting abilities. Tragically, Araki Byakuya passed away, but this only strengthened the bond between Hakuro and Kaede.
The Tengu elder was delighted to learn from Benimaru that Hakuro was still alive. In That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime season 3 episode 16, Kaede informed Benimaru that she would agree to Rimuru’s request on the condition that Benimaru married her daughter.
Without a doubt, the Tengu elder’s request left the ogre bewildered. Eventually, Benimaru promised to consider it and inform her of his decision at a later time. He also expressed regret to Kaede for not being able to provide an immediate response before departing from the village.

Upon departing the Tengu village, Benimaru informed Albis that Kaede’s lifespan may be shortened. It was revealed that the Tengu leader had depleted a significant amount of magicule during the birth of Momiji and naming her. Despite her seemingly energetic appearance, she was actually weakened internally.
After that, the current season of That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime, episode 16, brings us back to the present. Rimuru Tempest is greeted by Momiji, who informs him that the Tengu tribe has acknowledged him as the ruler of the Jura Forest. Despite this, she makes it clear that she does not want the slime to meddle in the Tengu’s internal matters.
During their conversation, Rimuru comes to the realization that Momiji is deep in thought about something. Upon further questioning, he discovers that she is fearful of the connection between the Slime and the Demon Lord Frey. Momiji is concerned that the bird woman will target the Sorcerous Dynasty of Thalion (Sarion), and may try to enlist the Tengus as her subordinates.
Despite this, Rimuru reassures Momiji that Frey is most likely no longer interested in Thalion and the Tengu village, especially since she seems content with Jura Tempest’s new plans. With a sense of relief, Momiji willingly declares her loyalty to Rimuru Tempest.
One of the Tengus hands a letter to Shuna, who reads it aloud. She accidentally reads a letter meant for Hakuro. The experienced Ogre then appears and recognizes Momiji as his daughter.
Season 3 episode 16 of That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime depicts a touching scene where Hakuro teaches his daughter, Momiji, the art of swordplay, taking full responsibility for her training.
Additionally, he discovers Kaede’s determination to have Benimaru as her son-in-law. Meanwhile, Shuna delivers a message from Albis to Benimaru, in which she declares her plan to defeat Momiji in a fight and claim her position as his wife.
Benimaru finds himself bombarded with unexpected proposals. In addition to those, the ogre has managed to charm Gabiru’s sisters, Toka and Saika. Rimuru and the rest of the group playfully tease Benimaru about having a “harem.”
Ultimately, Benimaru makes it known that he desires just a single partner. Excited, Momiji accepts Albis’ challenge to prove herself as the chosen wife of the red-haired ogre.
As long as it’s not a fight to the death, Rimiru Tempest gives his stamp of approval to the matter. The sixteenth episode of That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime season 3 concludes with Shuna and Shion challenging each other in a competition to win the affection of the Demon Lord.
