The little group's leader, Phos, is a fox girl from the Beast Kingdom of Eurazania. But this isn't just a pleasure trip for her... she's visiting Tempest on secret orders from Lord Carrion. What would a demon lord want with Rimiru's monster paradise?

Threatened by Tempest's rapid expansion, the Eastern Empire finally begins to strike back. According to Chloe, the time-traveling Hero, there exists a timeline in which the Empire defeats Rimuru and Tempest subsequently collapses. While Rimuru's doom isn't set in stone, his victory isn't a foregone conclusion either. And to make matters worse, an Empire spy seems to have infiltrated Tempest...

Rimuru and his team are headed for the Holy Empire of Lubelius to organize the concert he promised Luminus, its leader. But as preparations continue, a fiendish conspiracy involving both demon lords is being laid out behind the scenes. There may not be much time for music after all…especially with a third demon lord on the hunt for a certain otherworlder in Rimuru’s care!

Having easily thwarted the Eastern Empire's invasion, Rimuru wishes to end the conflict once and for all and therefore heads for the imperial capital to take out the source.

Rimuru, however, comes to find that the Empire's true power is on a whole other level from what he's seen so far...

The Tempest Founder's Festival was a roaring success, and Rimuru's next goal is to join the infamous Council of the West. However, a certain influential figure within the Council has no intention of letting someone as powerful as Rimuru have a seat at the table, and they will stop at nothing to quietly snuff him out before he makes any moves!

After a fierce battle, Veldora has fallen into the enemy's clutches, and Rimuru is furious. The order comes down to unleash a massacre, and Benimaru and the other Tempest executives couldn't be more thrilled. The fuse has been lit for the final battle between Tempest and the Eastern Empire. But if he wants to save Veldora, Rimuru will need to evolve even further. It's time to release the power he's been holding back!

Rimuru has emerged victorious in the war against the Eastern Empire, but between the ultimate skill Michael taking over Ludora’s body and the mystic lord Feldway lurking behind the scenes, he still has a lot left on his plate. Meanwhile, the fight at the labyrinth—conducted while Rimuru was busy with his own climactic battle—revealed some serious flaws in the monster nation’s defenses. Now that things are calmer, it’s time for our favorite demon slime to address some major infrastructure issues with his team…

The day has finally come for the Tempest Founder's Festival to kick off! From live concerts to incredible feats of monster engineering (and most of all, the massive labyrinth), revelers are sure to have their minds blown. And who should decide to participate in the battle tournament than the hero himself, Lightspeed Masayuki?!

How organisms come to possess adaptive traits is a fundamental question for evolutionary biology. Although it is almost impossible to demonstrate evolution in the laboratory, this issue can be approached by using an unusual organism, Dark-fly: "Drosophila melanogaster" kept in complete darkness for 57 years through 1,400 generations, which corresponds to 28,000 years in terms of human generations. Has Dark-fly adapted to an environment of total darkness? If so, what is the molecular nature of the adaptation? In "Evolution in the Dark," the remarkable findings from the Dark-fly project performed at Kyoto University are presented. It was found that Dark-fly did not have poor eyesight, but rather exhibited higher phototaxis ability and displayed lengthened bristles on the head that function as tactile receptors. Circadian rhythms were weakened but still retained in Dark-fly. With recent progress in genome science enabling researchers to perform whole genome sequencing for Dark-fly, a large number of mutations were identified including genes encoding a light receptor, olfactory receptors, and enzymes involved in neural development. The Dark-fly project is a simple but very long-term experiment. Combined with advanced techniques in genetics and genomics, it is a valuable tool for understanding the molecular nature of adaptive evolution."

Tomoko Fuse has been one of the world's premier origami artists for more than 35 years. This beautifully photographed book examines the three-dimensional geometric designs she is famous for. Fuse, often referred to as "the queen of origami," discovered the art of folding paper at just seven years old. She has come a long way since then, having had her work highlighted in exhibitions around the world, including Paris Origami (Carrousel du Louvre, 1998), On Paper (Crafts Council London, 2002) and her solo show Yorokobi (Bauhaus Dessau, 2004). In addition to teaching, folding and writing, she also collaborated with designer Denis Guidone for Milan Design Week 2018 and was a featured artist in Nova's episode "The Origami Revolution" (February, 2017). An artistic anthology of her most impressive work, Tomoko Fuse's Origami Art can serve multiple purposes: as inspiration for an experienced origami folder; as a truly impressive coffee table book for the artistically-minded; or as a push for intermediate folders to try their hand at modular origami models.
