Starting the Business, with the Slimes

Starting the Business, with the Slimes is the seventh episode of the By the Grace of the Gods (anime).

Summary
Ryoma decides to depart from the Jamil and begin his new life as an adventurer and business owner. While the Jamil household is shocked by the news, they offer him their support.

Plot
Ryoma decides to strike out on his own because he's afraid if he lets others take care of him, he'll become a terrible person. However, he's still grateful for all their support, but he wants to make it independently.

Although saddened, they understand Ryoma's desire to grow. The young boy promises to always keep in touch with them. Although happy, Eliaria is also crushed and forces Ryoma to visit any chance they get.

In the meantime, the Jamil family will stay in town, and Ryoma will remain with them during that period. Rheinbach informs them of another possible mission for Ryoma and the Adventurer Guild. Moreover, Ryoma tells them of his new business venture, a laundry service. And the entire Jamil household wants to help.

The next day, Eliaria and Ryoma go to the Morgan Trading Company to discuss the laundry service with Serge Morgan. He's astounded by the slime's cleaning abilities and wants to help Ryoma in his new venture. Moreover, he suggests for young Ryoma to join the Merchant Guild to make starting a business a bit easier.

At the Merchant Guild, Ryoma, Eliaria, and Serge Morgan meet up with Glissela, the guild master of the Merchant Guild. The older woman is happy that Ryoma wants to start a business and lets his register. However, on one condition, the location and building are of her choosing.

Ryoma, Eliaria, and Serge Morgan arrive at a destroyed and abandoned building, which is presumably Ryoma's new laundry service. While Serge Morgan has his reservations, Ryoma sees the hidden potential. Serge Morgan informs them about the ins and outs of starting a new business, and Ryoma can't wait to start.

With the help of his slimes, Reinhart's men, and a few adventurers, Ryoma's new laundry service, Bamboo Forest Laundry Service, is open for business. But before the official opening, Ryoma wants to invite everyone to come and take a look. While walking through town, Ryoma spots the church and decides to stop by. There he has a one-on-one conversation with Kufo, the rest of the Gods, who are sightseeing on Earth. Kofu gives the young boy some sound advice before Ryoma's conscience travels back to his body.
