Framea, a member of the Rabbitfolk tribe with a Unique Skill that allows her to analyze and sense aesthetics, is hired by Demon Lord Rimuru Tempest to create a guidebook for visitors of the Jura Tempest Federation after he found her notepad reviewing anything with a star rating. She visits a kimono shop where she receives a dress made by Shuna and a hat from a human employee. After watching a training of Rimuru’s army, Framea visits the blacksmith shop with Gobta, where Kaijin recommends several weapons until she settles with a boomerang. Framea is then tasked to escort Kabal, Gido, and Elen from the Kingdom of Blumund to Tempest. On their way, a monster attacks them, but Framea protects the trio until Diablo reveals himself to be testing her per Rimuru’s order. Framea is then tasked by Rimuru to explore Tempest’s dungeon made by Demon Lord Ramiris along with Kabal, Gido, and Elen to create its guidebook for adventurers. Rimuru hosts a kick-off party, during which Framea feels tipsy after drinking the distilled fruit wine given by Shion. Inside the dungeon, Framea and Kabal’s party defeat the boss monster on the 10th floor and manage to reach the 21st floor, where they fall into a trap to their apparent death.

Framea and the others are revived with the Revival Bracelet and are resting in an inn located on the dungeon’s 95th floor, where they are later treated by Rimuru with food. Framea then joins Shuna and Benimaru in visiting the open-air hot spring bath in the capital city. Arriving at Tempest’s blacksmith district, Framea encounters Litus, a Holy Knight of the Western Saints Church, looking for her crush Souei and befriends another Holy Knight named Arnaud Bauman. The trio visits Kurobe and witnesses his disciple forging a sword with enchantment, which later causes an explosion in their workshop. Due to Framea’s soon-to-be-released guidebook being too wordy, Rimuru suggests including pictures and invents the camera with Vesta’s help. Framea then flies to the sky with Gabil’s wyvern to take an aerial photograph of the city. With the camera’s invention, a rumor that a picture taken together causes them to become closer than before has begun spreading, causing Shuna and Shion to take a chance to take a picture with Rimuru. Rimuru invites his other subordinates to take a group photo instead. Sometime later, Rimuru wants his students Chloe Aubert, Ryōta Sekiguchi, Kenya Misaki, Alice Rondo, and Gale Gibson to take the test of courage in the Sealed Cave along with Framea and Hinata Sakaguchi. After defeating a serpent monster, the students fight Adalman and his two lackeys, who happen to be Rimuru and Veldora in their avatar forms. During the battle, Rimuru secretly invites Hinata to join them for fun, but he accidentally makes her squeal, which is then poked fun by Veldora. This causes Hinata to attack Veldora and Rimuru, but Adalman manages to stop her for them to retreat, concluding the test.

15. “Top-Shelf Sweets ☆ Three Stars!!” (極上すい一つで☆3つ!!, Gokujō Suītsu de ☆ 3tsu!!)
To distribute the first volume of Tempest Guidebook by Framea, Rimuru and Gard Mjöllmile hold a sweets competition in Tempest’s Coliseum attended by Demon Lord Luminous Valentine and Pope Emperor Louis Valentin of the Holy Empire Ruberios. Archduke Erald Grimwald of the Sorcerer’s Dynasty Sarion, Archduke Schmill Brunn of the Kingdom of Ingrassia, Benimaru, and Demon Lord Milim Nava serve as the judges to Kaoru Yoshida, Ingrassia’s royal confectioner Salvado, Shuna, and Shion. Salvado attempts to cheat his ingredients with a narcotic seed, but he is caught off-guard by Framea hosting the event and is convinced by her to rely on his pure skill instead. Kaoru wins the competition with his buttermilk biscuit with brandy sauce. An Orc later approaches Framea for help in becoming Kaoru’s apprentice since he becomes inspired by his cooking despite his huge body build. Since he is only specialized in confectionery, Kaoru refers them to Shuna, who then brings them to Tempest’s central kitchen and introduces them to chef Gobuichi. Gobuichi helps the Orc to prepare onigiri to serve his fellow Orcs taking a break from construction work. Rimuru suggests the Orc attend Tempest’s School to enhance his cooking, with Framea taking a trial enrollment. Framea visits the Sculpture Department, where the students are sculpting Rimuru’s figure with his statue from the Coliseum as the model. She discovers the following day that the statue is gone missing.
An extra chapter depicts Framea and Shion in a cafe. After eating their order, Shion gives Framea her ominous-looking macaron.

Ramiris, playing a detective, deduces that Rimuru is the culprit behind the missing statue and begins her investigation. Beretta, who is supervising the Sculpture Department, instructs the class to make a replacement. The class struggles to make a new sculpture since they have not seen Rimuru too much, giving Framea an idea to give them his pictures as their model. Afterward, the Sculpture Department produces numerous sculptures and presents them to Rimuru. Ramiris finally finds Rimuru hiding the sculpture in his house. A few days later, Rimuru invites his subordinates to hanami as a way of making up for the trouble the missing statue he stole had created, with Hinata and Luminous joining them. This causes Milim and Veldora to become jealous as they were not invited, so Rimuru brings them to the beach to make up with them along with Framea, Shuna, Shion, Gobta, Ranga, and Frey. Sometime later, Rimuru suggests building a theme park. Several of his subordinates build attractions for the park, some of which are extreme such as the case of Ramiris’ traps in the athletics area and Veldora’s massive slingshot. A few days later, Rimuru gives Framea a magic card, similar to a credit card, which she later uses for shopping and eating food. This attracts the attention of Veldora and Ramiris, who both begin to “befriend” Framea.

In the end, Rimuru reprimands the trio for overspending and reminds Framea to not fall into Veldora and Ramiris’ words. Sometime later, a secret society consisting of Shuna and Shion’s fan club begins their meeting. Rimuru assigns Soka to monitor them, who are currently admiring the photos of Shuna and Shion in their swimsuits leaked out by Demon Lord Dino. When the topic discusses Rimuru’s worthy consort, Diablo arrives to stop the meeting. Sometime later, envoys from other kingdoms learn about a certain Rabbitfolk living in an extravaganza. They meet with Framea who is being accompanied by Gobta and try to get close to her to become acquainted with Tempest’s demon lord, even going by the flirting method. Gobta reports this to Rimuru, who then pretends as a special envoy and Framea’s boss to learn more about them. In the end, Gobta reveals Rimuru’s true identity as a demon lord. When the envoys reveal how they worry about their small countries’ future, Rimuru agrees to interact with them first before discussing their foreign relations. A few weeks later, Veldora agrees with Dino’s scheme of him fighting in an underground arena match beneath the Coliseum to earn money. This scheme is later busted by Rimuru after Ramiris reported it, with Dino eating Shion’s tonkatsu as his punishment.

Sometime later, the elder of the Rabbitfolk tribe orders Framea’s father to bring his daughter back.

Rimuru decides to accompany Framea and her father back to the Rabbitfolk village near Lake Sis. With Ranga and Gobta tagging along, they go on an adventure until they reach the village. Some Rabbitfolk see Rimuru as Gobta’s servant, so they treated Gobta lavishly while Rimuru is locked in storage. Meanwhile,
Framea refuses the Rabbitfolk elder’s offer to become the next head of the village until she is threatened by other Rabbitfolks that something bad will happen to Rimuru, causing a deal of worry for Framea and her father since their kin are not aware of Rimuru being the demon lord. Rimuru shows up and is about to be taken hostage when Veldora shows up due to his jealousy of not being invited on the journey. In the end, the misunderstanding about Rimuru has been cleared and the Rabbitfolk tribe promises cooperation with Tempest. Sometime later, a dodgeball tournament is held in the Coliseum refereed by Diablo, with Hinata and Luminous watching it. Veldora’s team is out due to Ramiris not able to lift the ball, while Milim’s team fails to listen to the rule. A heated final match between Shuna and Shion’s teams takes place until Framea reveals to Hinata that the cause of the tournament, unbeknownst to Shuna and Shion, is due to their fan clubs’ debate on what is the better breast size. Sometime later, a visitor steals an apple but is later caught by Ultima and Carrera, who are respectively working as the Tempest’s chief prosecutor of the Public Prosecution Office and chief justice officer of the Supreme Court. The two Primordials got into a debate on the process of handling a criminal during his apprehension.
