04x16 - Abnormal na Bureikô/Makai no Kenshinsha

[bunniefuu]

Month

The end of the year is approaching
in the netherworld.

Our story today takes
place a little before

the end of December, before Undecember.

Wait a minute. "Undecember"?!

A full year in the netherworld
is thirteen months.

We call the changeover from
the evening of December 31st

to Undecember 1st "New Moon's Eve."

Oh, that must be like New Year's Eve!

So I guess the new year in the
netherworld starts with Undecember.

Correct, Iruma-kun!
Meaning this is the end of the year!

Therefore, demons are allowed to
let loose a around this time of year...

But...

How in the world did
things end up like this?

A Misfit Casual Gathering

"A Misfit Casual Gathering."

Hello!

Thanks for having us over!

Welcome, everyone!

We've been expecting you.

Thanks for inviting us over.

How dare you decide
all this without asking?

Why don't we have an end-of-year party?

Let's have a party!

Okay, let's do it at Iruma-kun's place.

Okay! I'll ask Grandpa
and Opera-san if it's okay!

I'll go.

You should all be grateful for
Iruma-sama's generous heart.

Mind your manners! Exercise moderation!

And be absolutely certain
not to cause any trouble!

Okay!

But of course!

You guys can sit wherever.

Allow me to help you.

Thanks, Azz-kun!

I'mma start handing out cushy cushions!

Hup, hup!

It's almost Undecember!

Whatcha all gonna do?

Well, I'll probably be
spending it with family.

Hmm... I guess I'll
call my little sister.

I'll also be at home.

I'll probably be sleeping.

I'm planning to train with my father!

New Moon's Eve means it's time
for the Dem-dol Games!

I watch that every year!

A dream festival where all
the popular dem-dols gather.

How exquisite!

I wonder who's participating this year.

I wonder...

Guys! Who's everyone's favorites?

Hey! Why don't we have a deep
conversation about dem-dols?

Okay, everyone have a seat!

Let's have a toast!

Yeah!

Cheers, cheers.

Okay, it's a little early,
but great job this year, everyone!

Cheers!

Splendiferous.

Opera-san prepared all this for us.

Well done, Pera-sama! You're awesome!

Oho! 'Tis quite delectable!

What an exquisite harmony of flavors!

This must have taken
quite some time to make!

It's so good...

You're sure moving fast!

This tastes so strange. What is it?

Relaxcider

Relaxcider!

A carbonated beverage that can
be enjoyed by children and adults.

Let's enjoy the party-like feeling.

It puts you in a fun mood
when you drink it.

I-Is that okay to drink, then?!

I mean, it's basically
just a party favor.

It just gets you excited, so it's fine.

I'm the one who brought those.

It's just for fun.
There's no alcohol in it.

Oh, so it's not alcohol. In that case...

Welax!

Welax... wha? Um, Clara, are you o—

...kayhurgh?!

So fast!

Iruma-chi, you've gotten fat.

Lookie, your tummy's all squishy...

Squishy, squishy...

That's sexual harassment!

I have not!

Iruma-kun, that's not the
main problem right now!

You like this spot, don't ya?

Hey, Azz-Azz! You need
to stop her! Iruma-kun is...

No!

Iruma-sama...

Iruma-sama is...

so small.

Nag Nag Nag Nag Nag Nag

I understand your abilities
more than anyone else,

but still, you're so small.

Your body is entirely too small.

I feel like you'd break if
I used too much strength.

As your best friend Azz,
it worries me so!

Please hurry and get bigger!

Why are you so small?!

Not you, too, Azz-Azz!

Hey, wait!

Make sure
you mix it
with water.
Warning! If you
drink it as-is,
you might
get too excited!

Make sure you mix it with water.

Warning! If you drink it as-is,
you might get too excited!

Crap! This is a concentrate!

It says right here to mix it with water!

This is bad, Iruma-kun!
This is gonna make them act all...

Iruma-sama, you're too small!
It's dangerous!

I'm not small!

Also, you're spending
too much time with Shax!

Is it because you're both small?!

Lead-kun is small, but I'm not small!

Hello?!

Okay, let me say this, then!

You and Clara are
getting along better, too!

You started calling her
"Clara" at some point!

He's drinking the concentrate!

Idiot Clara and I spent time together
only because it was necessary!

Right?!

But I missed you guys!

Not to mention, even with
the Harvest Festival and gaming,

you cast us, your best friends, aside...
and just spent time with Shax!

W-Well, there were some times when
it was hard for me to talk to you two!

You can talk to us at any time!
We're your best friends!

Crap, this isn't good! I can't
handle these guys on my own!

Guys! The Iruma squad is...

You want to see who's
stronger?! I won't lose!

Please, please, drink some more.

I shall gladly have some more.

Behold, classmate!
Look at this masterpiece!

What's so funny, Sabro?

What are you doing?!

It's a misfit sandwich!

It's so tall... Hey, you okay?

Seriously, girls are so
impossible to understand.

Why do they like cool,
unfriendly guys? They're boring.

Why am I not popular,
but mean teachers like Kalego are?

Don't worry about it.
Guys and girls don't always mesh.

No way! They're discussing
relationships at the top?!

Well, you live and you learn.

A woman's heart is harder
to solve than any equation.

Allocer...

So you do have a girlfriend, don't you?

Spit it out!

Spit it out! Spit it out!

It toppled over!

Let go!

Now what?!

Let go! I'll be the one
to take care of everyone!

No, I will! You can sleep, too!

I'll take care of all of you!

I can make rice ba*ls!

Well, I can make mamen!

[font face="Trebuchet MS" size="22" color="#eba8c0"]Ma

I'll take care of everyone!

Taking care of everyone
is the big bro's job!

Seriously, I'm fully confident
in Irumi and Lindy's potential.

I even have a potential debut
song for them in my head...

Just let me do it!

Here's a futon for you.

Ah, how welaxing...

Anyone else in trouble?

Jazzy, what are you doing?
You always leave everything to Garp.

What choice do I have?!

I'm everyone's big bro!

What are you talking about?!

What "big bro"?!

It's me.

I think of all of you as my
little brothers and sisters.

Yeah, you seem like
a big brother, Jazz-kun.

Hey! Where'd you come from?!

What about you, Lead?

Wha...

I mean, I guess you're like
an older brother...

What even is this?

I think you're more of a
big brother than Lead-kun.

All right.

I'm the oldest brother.
You can be the second brother.

Okay!

What are you agreeing to?!

And you're the 66th brother.

I don't even get to be
the third brother?!

Is there no one left that
I can get through to?

What about Nee-san?! Nee-san!

I wonder how far I can bend this.

Nee-san?

You're so cute and innocent.

Er, I'm not sure about innocent...

Our eyes met.

Here.

Nee-san.

Nee-san... I've always... always...

Nee-san, I've always...

lo... lo... lo... lo...

loved... the way you skip...

All that build-up and
you still can't say it?

You should just say it.
It's not like she'll remember.

It's not like I...

Indeed!

Making a move on a lady
who is welaxing is outrageous!

[font color="#333333"][font size="18"]Gentle

A gentleman would never do such a thing.

Why isn't this your usual personality?!

Yay! Party time!

Now she's got her familiar out!

Hey, you guys need to settle down!

Yahoo!

FalFal.

Hup!

Prepare yourself!

Don't even think you've got
a chance against your big bro!

This is nothing!

Come on, guys. This is bad.

Do you have enough to drink?

Hup, hup, hup, hup, hup, hup...

It's important to stay hydrated
when you're onstage!

We've got plenty more! Here ya go!

The Demon King onstage, eh?

That's not a bad idea!

You slay me! You slay me!

I know!

We just need to make Iruma-sama bigger!

The too-small alliance
has been defeated!

Get bigger! Get bigger!

So yummy.

FalFal.

A gentleman must never forget his
manners or elegance at any time!

I can sleep anytime.

This is so much fun.

You know what?

Welaxing...

Lead-kun!

Hey! Are you drinking
your cider, Iruma-kun?

You've got something on your back there.

This is so much fun.

Right?

In the future, even when
we're grown up...

let's all get together
like this... and...

Well, this is definitely
worth a lecture.

You're the assistant Demon King

After this, they were all forced
to write 666 apologies.

You slay me!

Netherworld Devotee

"Netherworld Devotee."

Lately, Iruma-sama...

You've been letting
loose a bit too much.

First you stayed out overnight without
permission for the Music Festival...

Then you went overboard
partying with your school friends.

I believe there is a need to get
your life back on the right path.

It's exactly as you say...

After discussing this matter
with Sullivan-sama...

If you need to straighten up,
just act like Opera.

...was the conclusion we reached.

Huh?

And so... you will spend the whole
day today being an attendant.

Please guide me, Opera-san!

I feel like even my
posture's better now.

I can tell Grandpa
picked all these things...

Huh? It may have a bit of
Opera-san's taste mixed in, too.

Yes, I chose that. It's custom-made.

Custom-made?!

We'll start with cleaning
the living room.

Right!

I will move all the
furniture out of the way.

Oh, thank you very much!

Here you go.

What's the matter?

Oh, right!

I wonder if it's Fractal.

Next, over here.

Right!

Next, over here.

Right!

Next, over here.

R-Right!

Next, over here.

R-Right!

You really are amazing, Opera-san.

You're just so efficient and... fast.

D-Do you have any tips for cleaning?

Well... it's best to do it with feeling.

Like this. "Thanks for letting
me play games all the time."

Thanks for letting me
play games all the time.

"I'll limit my gaming
to one hour a day."

I-I'll limit my gaming
to one hour a day...

Next, we'll do the laundry.

Coats and such go here.

Pants and underwear go there,
and handkerchiefs are washed by hand.

Starting from the right,

there's detergent for coats,
underwear, hand-washing, shoes,

dry-cleaning for formals,

one for making Sullivan-sama's
scarf all fluffy,

one for extra-dirty things,

and for stubborn stains, use one drop
of super-powerful Devi Cleanser.

Wow, there are so many different kinds.

We must take extra care in
washing Sullivan-sama's clothes.

They're all rather expensive.

If you're curious about the price,
it's about this much.

We wash the futons with our feet.

By the way, I enjoy this the most.

Opera-san's bouncing up and down!

This really is fun!

The attendant apprenticeship continues.

Paperwork.

Paperwork

Please get rid of these.

Yes, sir!

Checking all the locks.

Checking All the Locks

All good!

Tasty eggplant!

Meal prepping.

Meal Prepping

Sullivan-sama doesn't
like devi eggplants,

so I sneak them in without him noticing.

I will not cook

I see!

Table setting.

Table Setting

The cutlery will be used from the
outside in, so line it up like so.

The napkin goes on the left.

The plates should be six centimeters
apart. And place two glasses.

Right!

Table manners are important in public
settings, so you should learn them.

There are many noble demons who have

their own tableware
made and treasure it.

Whenever I got into fights
with Sullivan-sama in the past...

I'd often hide his fork.

Wait, you did?

Er, you don't need to write that down.

I'm getting to learn so much about you
as we work. It kinda makes me happy.

I see.

Wow!

There's so much foo—
I mean... so many plants!

Are we harvesting these?

Yes.

Okay!

Well, we'll eventually get to that...

But first, let's take a break with
some freshly picked veggies.

Wow!

It's so good.

I'm so spoiled, being able to
eat these freshly picked.

I guess attendants
have to do a lot of work.

It's wonderful that you're such a
quick learner, Iruma-sama.

You're making use of all your
training at the student council.

I'm remembering how that felt a bit.

But doing this work again

made me think about how you take
such immaculate care of everything.

About how you do this every day

and protect our lives

here in the netherworld...

They call demons who serve other
demons SD, or Security Devils.

Security Devils

It is a given that we protect
the lives of our masters,

but it is also our duty to
protect and support them

in the areas of publicity,
social status, and appearance.

We never slack in our daily duties.

That must mean my grandpa
is very important to you.

Yes.

Of course! You're basically
family by now.

Indeed.

This feeling is love, loyalty, and...

dependence.

Dependence?

In the netherworld, where
compassion for others is scarce,

what exactly does it mean
to serve someone?

I was given the answer.

If I give him my all...

Even if I offer up everything,
from one drop of blood

to the very tips of my fingers...

He will give me even more.

If I keep believing, believing,
and believing in that...

Dependence in the name of hope
is what it really means to serve.

I always keep this in mind
when I serve Sullivan-sama.,,

and eventually, I would like
to serve you, as well.

Iruma-sama.

Do you remember when I once
told you that you would need

to strengthen your resolve in order
to live in the netherworld?

In particular, if you
continue living as a demon

of the Sullivan family in the future,

you will surely find yourself in many
difficult situations and predicaments.

Even then, if you still insist
on choosing this place...

Iruma-sama, may I
leave my hopes with you?

Yes.

Now then, your duties are done.

You've overcome your cowardice and
achieved the appropriate frame of mind.

Cowardice?!

Anyway, now I feel at ease.

When you are of high status,
you need a high-status heart, as well.

Heir to the Sullivan family,
Iruma-sama...

Here is an invitation
to the Dinner of the Thirteen Crowns.

Next Episode Preview

The Dinner of the Thirteen Crowns.

A grand banquet where the highest
elites of the netherworld gather.

The reason Iruma-sama
was invited this time

was so he could introduce
himself to these elites.

That's because Iruma-sama
has been nominated

as a candidate to become
the next Demon King.

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

"The Great Heroes Gather."

By the way, there are other candidates
for the next Demon King, as well.

Please look forward to the next
episode to see who they are.
