04x12 - Ichi Nenkan to Ichi Senchi no Kyori

[bunniefuu]

The Devilam is a social gathering
that's regularly held for noble demons.

And within the Devilam,
there is a gathering

reserved only for the high-rank demons,

the Deviculum.

Yes, yes.

Well done, Ameri.

Wasn't the Devilam the other
day fun? Want to go again?

Yeah!

But, Father, I want to go to
the Deviculum someday, too.

Someday, when I raise my rank,
will you take me?

Of course.

Yay, yay! I'll work really hard!

I'm sure that whenever you
go to the Deviculum,

you'll have all kinds of demons
asking you to dance with them.

You know, Father...

I'm definitely going to
dance with you first!

Ameri...

What's the matter, Father?

It's nothing.

I look forward to going to the
Deviculum with you someday...

my beloved daughter, Ameri.

Ameri...

I finally got permission for you
to go to the Deviciulum with me.

I can already see you smiling...

Iruma and the other
members of the Misfit Class

were victorious at the Music Festival.

All of them successfully
moved up to rank Dalet,

brilliantly overcoming their trial.

They will be able to continue
using the Royal One.

All of the first-year
events have now concluded.

Will Iruma and the rest
of the Misfit Class

get to enjoy a relaxed life
at school for a while?

"One-Year Distance and
One-Centimeter Distance."

Hey, Iruma-kun.

Hm?

So, about the thing you
mentioned the other day...

A friend is someone you get along with,

someone you eat with and play with,

and someone precious to you
that you enjoy being with.

They're someone very close to you.

Can you be friends with someone
if they're high-ranked?

Yeah, I'm pretty sure that doesn't matter.

So what is she to you, then?

Huh? Who?

Student Council President Azazel Ameri!

What is... Ameri-san to me?

Oh! Speak of the devil!

President!

It's actually her!

You there! Your ribbon is crooked!

Yes, ma'am!

- You there! No flying on school grounds!

- Gulp!

Yes, ma'am!

President!

The Broadcast Battler would like
to interview you sometime!

All right. Adjust my schedule for it.

Yes, sir! I'll do it right away!

- She's devi pretty.

- Here's my devi chance...

- Huh? Of course she is.
She's the president.

I mean, she used to be
more cold-blooded and noble.

But she's even more dazzling now.

Devi this, devi that.

Is it from the dissolution election?

She's just on a different level
than normal demons.

She lives in a completely
different world than us.

She's truly a solitary, elite demon!

Let's go home.

See you tomorrow.

President, here are the additional
documents and your agenda.

Right.

The yearly activities are calming down,
and the end of the school year is near.

There'll be even more meetings,
so we'll be busy.

You're right.

I wish we could fit a break
in somewhere, though.

Like time to sip some
tea and read a book...

Is something wrong?

No, nothing.

I still have work to do,
so you can go on ahead.

Yes, sir! Please excuse me!

Yes.

To Ameri-san. Regarding
our next reading session.

Finally. I've been waiting so long for
my next reading session with Iruma.

Work, check!

Snacks, check!

Forbidden tomes, check!

I'm fully prepared!

Both Iruma and I have been so busy
that our schedules just weren't lining up.

Iruma...

...had Music Festival rehearsals
and then the party.

And I...

...had end-of-year student council duties.

We finally got this one day!

This is big!

But darn that Iruma...

He ignored my invitation to go
to that party with his classmates.

I mean, I'm the
student council president.

But...

the Misfit Class's presentation
truly was brilliant.

It was so dazzling and vibrant...

And...

they all looked like they
were having so much fun.

But I'm... supposed to
be close to Iruma, too.

We've also worked together...

And... And we went on a d-d-date...

And...

The world's been destroyed...

Huh?!

Huh?!

What?! And?! What happened next?!

Well...

This is the only time I can
have Iruma all to myself.

She's truly a solitary, elite demon!

This is the only moment when
I'm not solitary, elite demon.

I look forward to seeing you tomorrow!

I'm just Ameri.

Let's talk a lot.

Let's celebrate your victory
at the Music Festival,

talk about what's been going on with us,

and tomorrow... tomorrow...

Tomorrow?

Congratulations, Ameri.
It's your first Deviculum.

R-Right... But, um,
I already had plans tomorrow...

Ameri...

As you already know, the Deviculum
is different from the Devilam.

It's not just some social
gathering for nobles.

It's an extremely rare event that
only high-ranking demons can attend.

It's a necessary meeting for you to help
me with my work in the future.

Are your ambitions so simple
that you're willing

to abandon this opportunity
to reach them?

No, forgive me.

I will participate in
the Deviculum tomorrow.

I'm really sorry, but something
suddenly came up tomorrow.

Understood! We can just plan
for another time.

One more year...

Ameri-san!

If only you'd enrolled one year earlier,
or I'd enrolled one year later...

Could I have been closer to you
more naturally and expectedly?

But that's just a silly fantasy.

I miss you, Iruma.

First Love Memories ~Phoenix Arc~
You and I Travel to Space—

I miss you, Rin-chan...

But you've been sent back
a million years into the past.

I miss you, Kakeru-kun...

But you've been ripped apart
at the ends of space and time...

Will I never see you again?

Rin-chan!

Will I never see you again... Kakeru-kun?

I miss you.

Boom!

Lady Ameri.

I've heard a lot about you.

Your father always does a lot for me.

Likewise.

Thank you for always looking
after my father.

I've known numerous Azazels
across the generations.

I look forward to seeing more of you.

Yes, likewise.

But I must say,

you've grown even more beautiful
since the last time I saw you.

Oh, no...

You're Rank Waw at your young age?

And you're the student
council president at Babyls...

That's so ameowzing,
my fur's going to stand on end.

Oh, no...

Do you plan to enter
the Demon Border Patrol?

Yes, that is my goal.

I'm hoping to help my
father with his work.

I'm sure your father must be quite proud.

I will be diligent so I can
live up to his expectations.

As I figured, being surrounded by nothing
but high-ranking demons is nerve-racking.

But I must greet them all
properly. That is my duty.

Dancing...

If I'm going to dance, I want my first
time to be with someone I love...

Pardon.

You must be Lady Ameri.
The young lady from the Azazel family.

Ah, you're as beautiful as
everyone has mentioned.

Oh, no...

Would you accompany me for one song?

Just bear with it, Azazel Ameri.

This is just something I must do.

I-Is that...

Is that who I think it is?

Wait...

But why?

There's no way something
like this could ever...

Isn't that the grandson of
one of the Three Greats?

L-Lady Ameri!

May I have this dance?

Let's go back in time a little bit.

I'm home!

Is it true that your plans got
canceled today, Iruma-kun?

Huh?

Then you'll be coming with
your dear ol' Grandpa today.

- We just happened to get an invitation.

- Huh?! Wha?! W-Wait!

And go!

Go where?!

Wow, amazing!

- Your Devilam debut!

- It's so sparkly...

But it's also your first Deviculum!

Th-There's so much food, too!

Can I eat all of this?

But of course.

Yay!

- Thank you for bringing me here, Grandpa!

- Aw, my excited little
grandson is so cute!

- Oh?

- Iruma-sama.

- Oh, so cute!

- Lady Ameri is right over there.

Huh? You're right!

Then I'll go say hi!

One moment, please.

You're not at school right now.

There are proper greetings
in situations such as this.

Do you understand?

Y-Yesh...

And back to the present...

May I have...

this dance?

Iru... Bwa?! Huh?! Why?!

Why is Iruma here?!

It's Sullivan-sama's grandson!

The one in the Royal One?

The one who reached Rank He so young?

- Is he asking the young
Azazel lady for a dance?

- What's going on?

- Ah, Henri-sama. Please look.

- Your daughter...

I'm definitely going to

dance with you first!

...dance with you first!

H-Henri-sama?!

Iru—

Hello there, Henri-kun!

S-Sullivan-sama?

Well, well, good evening!
How're you doing?

I had no idea that Iru—

- Lord Sullivan!

- that your grandson would be here.

- It's Sullivan-sama,
one of the Three Greats.

- How rare...

- Well, I missed all your faces.

- I'm shocked that he's here.

And...

My grandson amazingly reached Rank He,
so I wanted to show him off to everyone!

Indeed.

Wanna see pictures of Iruma-kun?

You do, don't you?

Let's go admire them over there!

No, but my Ameri is...

Sullivan-sama! Ameri!

We might draw too much attention here.

This way.

Okay, Ameri-san...

One, two... th... s... whoa!

Sorry...

Huh?

I'm sorry I can't dance!

Huh?! R-Right...

Opera-san told me the best way to greet
a lady is to ask her to dance...

But then I realized
I never learned how to dance.

And I could never embarrass you!

That's why I brought you where
no one's around, and... um...

I'm sorry!

I see. I must say, that's very like you.

Come here. I'll teach you.

R-Right!

One, three, six.

One, three, six.

One, three, six.

One, three, six.

Yes, that's good.
Loosen your shoulders a bit.

Oh, okay...

- One, three, six...

- I'm dancing with Iruma...

Wow.

This is amazing...

You see...

This whole time I haven't been able
to see you, I've been thinking...

I was wondering what kind
of person you are to me.

But now that I've seen you again
after so long, I think I know.

The way you chase your dream is wonderful.

When I'm with you,
I want to try harder, too.

You're pointing me in
the right direction...

and waiting for me beyond that.

I realized that you're someone
I'd like to get closer to, Ameri-san.

I've... felt the same way
for a very long time.

J-Just kidding!

I-It was just because you
complimented me out of nowhere!

It was just embarrassing... so...

President!

You there! Your ribbon's crooked again!

- It's actually her!

Yes, ma'am!

- You there! That's not allowed at school!

- Gulp!

- Yes, ma'am!

President! I'll stop by for an
interview during our lunch break.

All right.

- This angle, too! This angle, too!

- She's devi pretty again today.

Of course she is...

But actually...

She's even more dazzling now.

Oh, it's the president!

Hey, so what'd you decide?

Is the president a friend or...

Huh? Um...

I thought I'd figured it out...

but now I'm not sure again.

Really? What's that supposed to mean?

- Suki! Suki! Su-Ki-Ma!

- Su

- Ki

- Ma

Tup, tup, tup, tup.

Tup, tup, tup, tup.

Encounter...

H-Hey there, Iruma.

A-Ameri-san...

H-Have you been well?

Y-Yes. How about you?

I-I have...

Hngh!

No fair! I want that, too.

Whatever's going on with Iruma-kun
and the president must be nice.

I want to be in a nice-looking
relationship with someone.

Like, whenever they meet,
they always just fight,

but when their hands randomly touch,
they both get embarrassed and go quiet.

No fair. I want that.

I wonder if I can get
a childhood friend now.

Next time on Welcome to
Demon School! Iruma-kun,

"Suzuki Iruma's Exorcibration."

What? It's Iruma-kun's birthday?
Then we have to get ready for that!
