Set in the "sea" for the first time in the series, it depicts Rimuru and his companions getting caught up in new adventures and conspiracies.

The story takes place in the underwater nation of "Kaien Kingdom," which worships the Water Dragon as its guardian deity. After completing the founding festival of the Jura Tempest Federation, Rimuru and his companions, who had visited a resort island at the invitation of Elmesia, the Emperor of the Sorcerous Dynasty of Sarion, meet Yura, a priestess of Kaien Kingdom. She had come to the surface to seek help to save the Water Dragon and her country from the conspiracies swirling within the nation. In Kaien Kingdom, Djeese, called a genius prime minister, was advancing a certain scheme using a flute called the "Dragon's Fang" that awakens the Water Dragon, the guardian deity of the country. Meanwhile, Minister Zodon, under Djeese's orders, pursues Yura. Having received a request from Elmesia, Rimuru and his companions head to the ocean floor to save Yura and restore peace to the azure sea.
