"This party doesn't need an incompetent magician who can only use supportive magic. You're fired, Alec Ygret." Suddenly, Alec, a court magician who had joined the crown prince's party to help him conquer dungeons—was banished from the party. And not just the party, but the crown prince's harassment has banished him from the royal palace as well, and a friend from the "magic academy" approached Alec, who was at his wit's end. "Hey, Alec. Do you want to try to conquer the dungeon with us again?" And so, together with the friends he used to party with, Alec begins his second journey in life. This is the adventure story of a former court magician who had been abandoned. Four years ago, the "Lasting Period," a party of four that had been called "legendary," has gradually spread its name around the world.

The new 30 minute special is based on the "Nightmare! Incense of Spring Sleep" manga story from volume 34, and was shown on odd numbered days at the "It's A Rumic World" exhibition in Tokyo from July 30th to August 11th.

Nestled away on the rooftop of Tenikai General Hospital is the unconventional Department of Investigative Pathology headed by the eccentric Dr. Takao Ameku. The tiny department, consisting of Takao and her sole resident Yuu "Kotori" Takanashi, treats complex cases that most other departments within the hospital cannot resolve on their own. The mystery-obsessed Takao always tries to insert herself into cases that capture her fancy—much to the dismay of her colleagues and the police. Even if her meddling creates more problems for the hospital and those around her, none can deny the brilliance that the young department head exhibits as she weaves a diagnosis together. No matter the specialty, no case is impossible for Takao and a somewhat reluctant Takanashi to solve.
