Changes
As the seasons turn, Rimuru plans a Bon Festival celebration. Each race has its own history, and the festival is a time to show gratitude and reaffirm their bonds among their own families and clans, and to strengthen friendships by telling others all about their own histories. And with this Bon Festival, Shizu-san returns to Tempest as a spirit...

S01E05
Return of the Summer Festival
Rimuru decides to throw a summer festival resembling the ones held in Japan. The monsters have never experienced a summer festival, but when they hear that it's a party, they go all-in to prepare. All the monsters of Tempest work together and eventually come up with masks, paper lanterns, and even festival floats. On the day of the festival, everyone in the town enjoys piping hot takoyaki, cold shaved ice, yukata, and a Bon dance. In the end, they fill the skies with fireworks as the festival reaches its climax...

S01E01
The Residents of the City of Monsters

S01E12
Enjoying New Year's to the Fullest
Rimuru said he wanted to do a first shrine visit of the new year, so the citizens of Tempest built a shrine. But what deity is housed at this brand new shrine? Rimuru thought it must be Veldora, the guardian of the Forest of Jura, but everyone else says it's a shrine to Great Rimuru, so he ends up enshrined there... Thus their fun New Year's comes to an end, and Rimuru closes his diary. What will this new year bring? Tomorrow is sure to be packed with enough events to fill a new page...

S01E07
Here Comes the Demon Lord!
In Great Sage's recollection, all seems to be smooth sailing for Tempest... but then the oldest of the Demon Lords, Milim Nava, arrives! Rimuru, as Milim's bestie, is appointed by the majority to be in charge of keeping an eye on her. With no knowledge of this, Milim explores Tempest and interacts more with the residents of the city of monsters... and Rigurd keeps track of all the damage she causes along the way in a report for Rimuru. "Rigurd... are you angry?"
