　　电视动画《#关于我转生变成史莱姆这档事 第二季#》BD附赠的短篇小说「彩叶草之梦」 ，也是剧场版《#关于我转生变成史莱姆这档事##红莲之绊篇#》的原案小说，宣布将改编为全3集的新作原创动画，于今年秋季播出，故事发生在TV动画第一季与第二季之间。

　　故事背景为架空世界“碧岛”，这座位于日本列岛西南方的岛屿，被财团改造成宏大华丽的白金牢笼。本作主人公是濑良垣苍叶（私市淳 配音），在旧住民区一家“平凡”商店里打工，犬型智能伴侣“莲”常伴其左右，好友红雀（高桥广树 配音）亦对其照顾有加。然而从以前开始，苍叶就一直忍受着原因不明的头痛。同时，岛内又开始流行起一种虚拟对战游戏——“莱姆”。一向对此毫无兴趣的苍叶，某天在送货路上，突然被一名神秘人物拉入了莱姆的异空间内，强制进行对战。头痛的日渐加剧，背负着的沉重过去；神秘人物连番登场，都市传说“神隐”再现，苍叶看似平静的生活，正悄然发生了变化。　　本动画改编自Nitro + CHiRAL于2012年发售的一款BL向AVG游戏。

　　远古时代，天地本无界，万物为求永生之道，皆因善恶动心起念，道不同不相为谋，渐形成了仙道与魔道两大势力，自此光明与黑暗对立。　　仙道为维护天地纪律、匡扶浩然正气，避免受到魔道破坏仙境，派出五大神兽，青龙、白虎、朱雀、玄武、麒麟五大尊者将具有魔道心性的生灵全部驱离仙境。　　不甘心被驱逐的妖兽，推派黑龙王为首，带领魔界邪灵妖兽们迎战反抗，撞毁四大天柱，引洪水泛滥，从此天地分界，烈火延烧七天七夜、生灵涂炭、哀鸿遍野。　　仙界将炼石补天的五色晶石打造成五大神器，朱霞镜、白灵珠、青云剑、金电钵、黑雷杖分别交由五大神兽前去平息乱象，麒麟尊者不幸遭到黑龙王的挟持，魔道妖兽才能安然逃至天外魔境。　　青龙以救出麒麟为名，号召四大神兽带着神器围剿魔境，黑龙王出面迎战，反被神器所伤，遭四大神兽制伏拿下，黑龙王从此被禁锢在昆仑仙境的仙母洞牢，以“千年寒冰石”冰封住，这场仙魔纷争才告平息。　　五百年后，修蛇贞儿（白蛇前世）化身为一妙龄女子，聪敏慧诘，贞儿和昆仑仙境修行的桑树神穹桑（许仙前世）相恋多年，因难舍情爱，修行因此受阻，迟迟未能位列仙班。玄武尊者（法海前世）身为仙境四大护法之一，因为碍于身份而不敢对修蛇贞儿表达爱意，只能暗恋，在一旁默默守护贞儿。　　此时，昆仑仙境里发生了大事件，火麟麟率魔界大军直捣仙境作乱，打算救走甫苏醒的黑龙王，并抢夺五大神器，昆仑仙境顿时干戈再起。　　因为五色晶石所打造的五大神器，天赋灵性，具有杀仙灭魔的能力，五大神器就成为仙魔争夺的宝物。贞儿因意外地将又白又亮的白灵珠一口吞下，她突感身裂欲焚，跃入天之池减轻痛苦，蛇身从此变白。　　贞儿从此拥有了白灵珠的神力相助，功力大增，为了保护穹桑，出手打退火麒麟等邪灵怪兽，因此也救了玄武（法海前世）及四大神器免落在魔界！同时玄武（法海前世）也爱上贞儿。魔界大军也因此无法将黑龙王救走，后来，火麒麟获知贞儿是她同父异母的姐妹，以亲情攻势让贞儿犯下天规，私自纵放黑龙王，并和黑龙王约法三章，千年之内，魔界不得再侵犯仙境。　　穹桑无端卷入了仙界与魔界的争战，因为协助贞儿将黑龙王放走，差点被青龙尊者打死，贞儿求观音大士大发慈悲救穹桑，观音大士明白贞儿吞下白灵珠定有其仙缘。遂提出只要穹桑和贞儿断了情爱，专心留在仙母洞里修行千年，直到修练成仙。贞儿为了救穹桑而答应，观音大士便帮贞儿赐名为白素贞。　　这段等待千年的凄美爱情也从此受到阻挠。　　穹桑和玄武尊者也因为了帮忙贞儿而甘受仙境惩戒，遭打落凡间受轮回之苦。穹桑用桂木做杆，以百叶做伞面赠予贞儿定情物，贞儿也以心鳞片相赠答谢救命之恩，俩人因此订下了终身相许相恋之约。　　“山中岁月容易过，世上繁华已千年”，素贞经过千年的修炼，终于蜕尽蛇身，得以化作人形，但仍无法对穹桑忘情，白素贞便将看守她的师父朱雀尊者打伤后，随即私逃下凡，找寻投胎转世的穹桑。　　千年后，南宋年间，素贞来到钱塘遇上了妖怪强娶民女，素贞发现他是个小青蛇妖，手下留情收伏小青蛇，从此俩人以主仆相称，却和素贞情同姐妹。　　穹桑转世投胎的许仙在杭州西湖畔义诊时，与青白二蛇不期而遇了，宿世之缘所牵引而起的似曾相识之感早已若有似无的回荡在许仙和素贞两人一来一往的眼神间，爱慕之意油然而生。　　此时，天空忽然雷电交加下起大雨，同船渡湖，许仙便将伞借给这对美丽的姊妹。　　无奈千年前爱慕白素贞的玄武尊者转世为法海和尚，宿命纠缠，使得法海依天律戒护者降妖伏魔之名，手持金钵欲将白蛇与青蛇擒回梵天。但法海仍难舍弃情爱，纵放素贞多次，此行径让火麒麟看在眼里是又妒又恨。　　几天后，白素贞得知许仙得罪当地富商金百万，陷害许仙用药不当害死当朝官员，贿赂县官将许仙定死罪。幸有白素贞和小青的帮忙，查出真相，还许仙清白，逃过死劫，轻判发配苏州三年。　　白素贞和小青便来到苏州，暗中帮忙许仙渡过多次难关，平息当地的瘟疫的传染。二人情感日益加深，两人欢喜结为夫妻。婚后，白素贞相助许仙在苏州开设药铺“保安堂”，开业济世，素贞贤淑，细心辅佐夫婿经营药铺，仁心仁术，当地人民无不称颂。　　法海遭人诬陷，指称法海杀了方丈，只好暂离金山寺，和火麒麟来苏州投靠白素贞和许仙！小青怀疑法海此次前来定有目的时对法海提防着。另一方面的许仙对佛法颇有兴趣，经常和法海论佛而渐成了好友。　　端午佳节，白素贞饮下雄黄酒，却现出原形吓死许仙，素贞救夫心切而赶至昆仑仙境求取仙丹，仙丹求取不成，只得硬抢，王母震怒，欲处死白素贞，幸观音大士出手相救，救了夫妻两人。　　然而许仙苏醒后，在法海的诱说下不愿再和蛇妖一起，而素贞亦怀了许仙的骨肉。小青在身旁痛心地对其晓以大义后，许仙感动于与白素贞夫妻间的真情真意，拒绝到金山寺出家，却在法海的挟持下被带上金山寺。　　法海为一己之私，欲除去白素贞，将许仙强留于金山寺，目地为逼白素贞触犯天条，白素贞为救夫婿，联合小青前往金山寺要人，法海咄咄逼人，坚持人与妖怪不能结合。素贞忍无可忍，发动水族，水漫金山，誓和法海一较高下，不料却使无辜镇江百姓沦为波臣，因而犯天条。　　因此时的白蛇已经身怀六甲，仍不敌法海，反被压在雷峰塔下。最后在火麒麟和青蛇的协助下，终于打败法海，并除去魔界的祸害——蜈蚣精百足真人，让许仙与白蛇夫妇团圆。　　但就在素贞生下孩子仕林之后，法海以昔日素贞因帮夫心切，和小青数次偷盗库银及珍宝，害得许仙官司缠身，牢狱不断；为害人群，戏弄官府，加上水漫金山，生灵涂碳，是为天理所不容。而将素贞镇于雷峰塔下，告其曰：“二十年之后，待文曲星中状元之日，就是你出塔之时……”。许仙伤心欲绝，将仕林交予姐姐抚养，独自前往金山寺出家，以弥补罪过，为素贞赎罪早日出塔。　　一段传咏千年的美丽爱情故事，再次唤醒善良坚贞的爱情，触动人心。

　　148Series 19, Episode 127 January 2013Damian Lewis　　Review: Richard reviews the Pagani Huayra, the latest supercar from the Italian manufacturer. The car is capable of savage acceleration, with a lot of attention placed into the bodywork, interior and utilizing cutting edge technology. Despite the massive twin-turbo engine and horsepower, thanks to its sophisticated aerodynamic package, the car can easily be driven hard without the risk of spinning. The Huayra also set the fastest time on the Top Gear Test Track in the hands of The Stig, 1:13.8, beating the previous record, set by the Ariel Atom V8.　　News: The Dacia Sandero is now on sale in the UK. The Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG Black has been updated to produce extra horsepower, but the handling is still challenging. Jeremy claims that he has found a male equivalent version of Fifty Shades of Grey, presenting a kid's book about tractors. The new Chevrolet Stingray is announced. James May turned fifty the previous week. Also, the rally team composed of war amputees (previously mentioned in series 17, episode 6) finally completed their challenge of finishing the 2013 Dakar Rally.　　Review: James reviews the new Bentley Continental GT, and notes the new engine and subtle ride characteristics. Believing that the Bentley, with four wheel drive system and a big, powerful engine, can handle things worse than a Welsh countryside road, James takes the car onto a Welsh stage of the World Rally Championship, with Kris Meeke behind the wheel, and James being the co-driver. Despite the car having less grip, more weight, an electronic handbrake (unsuitable for usage on a rally stage) and James not being proficient at giving pace notes, the Bentley was actually faster than one of the full WRC cars.　　Star In A Reasonably Priced Car: Damian Lewis takes his turn in the car, and drifts the Kia Cee'd around the snow-coated test track and crosses the finish line sideways, setting the slowest ever time of 2:09.1. Jeremy cheers Damian up by making a separate board for snow (he justs put the time underneath and to the side of the fastest lap time on that board) and says that he is the fastest driver ever on their "snow board".　　Challenge: Jeremy attempts to build a car smaller than the Peel P50, naming his creation the P45. It was based on a quad bike, with bodywork fitted, designed to wrap around the driver. He then presented his idea to the 'Dragons' in a Dragons' Den style format. All of the dragons declare themselves "out" and back in the studio, Richard concludes that for the P45 to be put in production, Jeremy would have to be dead.　　149Series 19, Episode 23 February 2013Mick Fleetwood　　Challenge, Part 1: In another challenge, the presenters picked three super cars to take on an epic race. Since it was Hammond's turn to select the challenge location, the team went to the Western United States. Jeremy selected the Lexus LFA, James chose the new Aston Martin Vanquish, and Richard took the SRT Viper. After a brief drive in the Nevada desert, the trio headed to Las Vegas Motor Speedway, specifically the drag strip, to compete in drag races organized by the Las Vegas Police Department; whom organized it with the theory that allowing people to drag race, legally, at a closed circuit, would prevent street racing. Despite the high performance of their cars, the trio were beaten by modified production cars, and 4WD cars, in each of their drag races.　　News: Jeremy comes up with a solution on how to solve the crisis affecting Britain's town centres: sacking all traffic wardens and removing double yellow lines. The trio then review a Chinese product designed to stop drowsiness behind the wheel, before they took a first look at the 2013 Jaguar F-Type. They praised its styling, but criticized its high price tag of £60,000, as well as its target audience. James mentions Peugeot Citroen's car intended to run on compressed air; Jeremy attempted to use a fire extinguisher to demonstrate, but failed after only causing himself to turn slowly around.　　Challenge, Part 2.: After leaving Las Vegas, James and Richard make fun of Jeremy's LFA for lacking not only Bluetooth connection and iPod connectors, but cup holders, despite being the most expensive car. They are then tasked to head to Willow Springs International Motorsports Park, but they instead stop on a grooved road, where each car drives over the grooves and produces notes. When they reach Willow Springs, they are forced to play an aerial version of Laser Quest, where they would drive 5 laps around the track, whilst being chased by two Aermacchi SF.260 armed with laser guns. In the end, James won the challenge by being hit only 17 times.　　Star in a Reasonably Priced Car: Fleetwood Mac's Mick Fleetwood drove the Kia Cee'd around the Test Track with a lap of 1:45.4.　　Challenge, Part 3: Departing Willow Springs, the group headed for Los Angeles, California. In order to do "real world" testing, Richard devised a challenge to see who could burn the best elevens. The three instead ended up drawing a phallus and left LA. The team then stayed for a night in Palm Springs. However, the producers gave them a final challenge. The three would drive from Palm Springs to the Mexican border at Calexico the following morning, and the last to make it to the Mexican border would have to travel into the country itself to drive the Mastretta MXT, a Mexican sports car made fun of by the presenters in an earlier series, for a later segment on the show. In revenge for taking them to America, Jeremy and James sabotaged Hammond's Viper, causing him to lose 10 minutes in the race. Despite making a stop for fuel, Jeremy made it to the finish line first, with James in second. Richard then walked to the border being the last person to arrive. At the studio, James and Jeremy end by saying that the Viper was awful and that the Vanquish and LFA were amazing.　　150Series 19, Episode 310 February 2013Amy Macdonald　　Review: Jeremy reviews the Toyota GT86 and the Subaru BRZ. The cars are almost identical, but Jeremy prefers the Toyota GT86. The Stig then completed a lap of the Test Track in 1:31:3.　　News: They discuss the new Subaru Impreza, which is not coming to UK, and they then talk about the new Maserati Quattroporte.　　Challenge, Part 1: The producers have reserved a single ticket to a football match at the San Siro in Milan, Northern Italy. The trio have a race from Wembley Stadium to the San Siro. Jeremy drives the Shelby Mustang GT500 and Richard and James travel on public transport. Similar to the previous race to Monte Carlo, Richard and James are not allowed to use any cars, and Jeremy is not allowed to use any trains. According to Jeremy, since the last epic race, the trains have become faster and boats have become slower. Richard and James opened up a big lead whilst travelling on the Eurostar, and arrive in Paris while Jeremy was still crossing the English Channel on a ferry. After reaching France, Jeremy discovers that the Mustang only holds 50 litres in its fuel tank. After leaving Paris, Richard and James discuss what to do upon arriving in Milan — as there are two of them but only one ticket. Hundreds of miles behind, Jeremy ends part 1 of the challenge stating out loud, "I'm gonna lose!"　　Star in a Reasonably Priced Car: Amy Macdonald drove the Kia Cee'd around the Test Track in 1:44.4. During one of her practice runs, Amy accidentally destroyed one of the runway lights, which Jeremy gives to her after revealing the lap time.　　Challenge, Part 2: The high speed TGV slowed down as it approached the mountains that surround Northern Italy. Jeremy began to catch up and was nearly neck and neck with the train, until road works at the Mont Blanc Tunnel slow him down. The train starts to accelerate again and reaches Northern Italy ahead of Jeremy. Richard and James use a tube network to get to the streets near the finish line. James maintains his opposition to run on television and Richard runs off alone to find the finish line, which is at a bar in the IM Villa Veuve Cliequot. James then assembled a bike which he had hidden in one of his bags and rides to the bar, only to find that Richard is already there and has won the race and the ticket to the football match. Moments later, Jeremy arrived and accepted defeat for the first time ever in an epic race of all the series.　　151Series 19, Episode 417 February 2013Lewis Hamilton　　Review: Jeremy reviews the Vauxhall Astra VXR, Ford Focus ST and Renault Megane Renault Sport Cup. The Stig did laps of each car, the Focus being the slowest at 1:29.6, the Astra VXR at 1:28.3, and the Megane in 1:27.7. Despite this, Jeremy chose the Astra VXR as the best overall car of the three.　　News: They discuss the newest cars, such as the Alfa Romeo 4C, the next generation Ford Mustang would be sold in Great Britain, but the UK version would come with a 2.0 EcoBoost engine, and the importance of the handbrake turn in "male development".　　Review: Jeremy tests the all new Kia Cee'd, putting it through a myriad of strange road tests. Including Matt LeBlanc doing a lap with both the old and new Cee'd, Bruce Willis (in character as John McClane) testing the horn of the Cee'd, Eric Clapton testing its auxiliary input jack, and Jeremy testing the Cee'd's self parallel parking feature.　　Star in a Reasonably Priced Car: Lewis Hamilton opens up about his move from McLaren to Mercedes AMG and takes the old Suzuki Liana around the Test Track, setting the fastest F1 time, a 1:42.9.　　Review: As punishment for losing the previous race, Richard is forced to review the Mastretta MXT in Mexico. Minding his words, he states that the MXT was an ambitious undertaking for the first-time manufacturer, but that it had its share of flaws.　　Challenge: Jeremy and James play car rugby using Kia Cee'ds and Kia Sportages at Twickenham Stadium and Stig in Vauxhall Astra Police car as the referee. Jeremy's team wins.　　152Series 19, Episode 524 February 2013James McAvoy　　Challenge, Part 1: Jeremy and Richard attempt to design a car targeted at elderly people. Jeremy demonstrates the complexity of modern cars' dshboard. Richard brings a Fiat Multipla and both modify it. Jeremy breaks the dashboard and replaces it considering it to be too complicated for elders. Richard asks for the airbags saying that it is dangerous for the elderly who are as delicate as children, and that he needs it for a safety feature. Jeremy makes a speedometer which reads 20 mph at the top speed, he also uses an old design switch for rear fog light which does nothing. Jeremy installs a pet-cage and replaces the back seat with high seat chairs and the Fiat badge with a Rover one. They paint it in beige after observing the shade of a hearing aid. Richard uses water-resistant fabric as seat covers, and while stitching hurts his eye. They complete the car and end the part 1 with Richard wearing heavy bandages over his left eye.　　News: Volkswagen will launch GTI version of the new Golf and GT version of Up will be launched. Kia will launch the Pro Cee'd GT. The Mini Paceman is launched, and the trio mock the front end of the car, claiming that it looks depressing. The trio agree that the British are the best drivers. Alfa-Romeo releases photographs of the Gloria, in which the trio make fun of it's name. Richard had arrived late so James and Jeremy had attempted to play tennis with cars (which has a lot of editing).　　Review: James reviews the new Range Rover in London. The new car is completely redesigned, 400 kg lighter due to Aluminium body, has active suspension, new gearbox, minimalist dashboard and offers better comfort. James then races it against TerraMax at Nevada Automotive Test Centre, Nevada. The race was to a hill 10 mile across, passing through rocky terrain, hillock, mud, river and sand-tracks. TerraMax was switched to drone mode during the race to deflate the tyres and take a short-cut. The Range Rover's automatic Terrain Response System is demonstrated. James takes a longer route to ascend the hill but still wins the race. At the studio, the trio consider the driverless cars to be not very practical.　　Star In A Reasonably Priced Car: James McAvoy drove the Kia Cee'd around the Test Track with a lap of 1:43.6 despite having less experience of driving cars. He drove over grassy patch in the last corner but manages to keep the car under control.　　Challenge, Part 2: Jeremy and Richard road-test their car at Christchurch, Dorset. The car has large front bumpers made up of foam, large rear-view mirrors, squeaking ball under the brake-pedal, large magnifying-glass on the dashboard, sat nav (voiced by Richard Briers) with only four destinatons. The car has an artificial cat on the roof which later fell over on the way of Bingo hall. Richard later shows his system to find the location of parked car (the car activates a flare and then releases a balloon). Jeremy shows that the radio only plays Horse of the Year Show theme on a loop, which both later find to be irresistible to clap along. The name of the car is revealed to be The James. They pick up three elderly ladies from a pensioners' home for road-testing and drive them to a bowling club where it is shown that Richard fitted the airbag at the rear for parking assist which inflates the airbag on close proximity. Jeremy and Richard buy food for picnic, choosing only British foods. They attach the shopping trolley to Tow hitch and head for picnic. The roof of the car leaks as it rains. Jeremy and Richard end up choosing a picnic spot on roadside where they find the trolley to be damaged during reversing and the food to be soaked, however they ate the food which was not ruined. The next day both leave Christchurch and Jeremy shows his system to prevent the car from being driven on the wrong side of the road, the car initially sounds alarm and later the tyres, doors and other parts of the car explode which stops the car and renders it immobile. At the studio, James considers the heater to be complicated, the trio thank Richard Briers and announce the Africa special.　　153Series 19, Episode 63 March 2013No Guest　　First of the two-episode Africa Special, taking place in Africa. The episode was shot in 2012.　　Challenge, Part 1: Buy used estate cars for up to £1,500 in Britain and report at a small village in rural Uganda. Jeremy arrives in a BMW 528i Touring, Richard in a Subaru Impreza WRX Estate and James in a Volvo 850R Wagon. The challenge is to find the true source of the river Nile.　　They set off an discover that exploring isn't as difficult as first thought when they go on a nice easy drive and find Lake Victoria, of whom the Victorian Explorers thought was the source of the Nile. However they are then told that it is not the actual source of the Nile and there were two other disputed locations for it, one in Rwanda and one in Burundi. However, Jeremy Clarkson insisted that both of these locations were wrong and decided to head west towards Lake Edward to see whether there was a link between that lake and Lake Kivu in Rwanda.　　In their journey west, where they visit the Entebbe Airport and from there see the Ford Scorpio Estate back-up car. They continue into Kampala, Uganda's Capital City where they get held up in a traffic jam overnight, the most hurrendous traffic they'd ever seen.　　They continue on well-maintained highways west finding their trip incredibly easy before reaching the town of Mbarara in the southwest of the country, via a stop in Jezza, a village in Mpigi District. Here they stay in a disgusting hotel, after driving through tea plantations in an attempt to discover a lovely teahouse hotel, which in the mind of Richard, was bound to found due to tea programmes he'd seen.　　In Mbarara they stayed in the Economic Lodge with Jeremy having a bed with faeces on it. They left the hotel disgusted before Richard has the idea to make the cars 'hotels'. James modifies his Volvo by adding a library, Richard adds a cooker and Jeremy adds a coffin. The coffin he uses to put his clothes in, he sleeps on Egyptian Cotton.　　They leave for Lake Edward, camping overnight there because of its beauty before heading in search of the river heading for Lake Kivu. None of the rivers connect the lake as they all head east rather than south. They give up, leaving them disappointed. Then Jeremy looks at a map and discovers the source of the Nile must be on the other side of Lake Victoria. His reasoning is that the Mediterranean Sea is effectively an inland sea and so Gibraltar is the true mouth of the Nile, rather than Alexandria in Egypt.　　After discovering this they decide that they must drive straight to the other side of Lake Victoria to get to the southeast coast in Tanzania near the Serengeti. They start this journey by heading south into the Rwenzori Mountains, finding the going hard and most of the time getting their vehicles stuck in mud.
