04x20 - Team Devimuse

[bunniefuu]

I'm sorry I won't be able to
spend New Moon's Eve with you.

It's fine. Your friend's
in trouble, right?

Do your best.

I will! Okay, I'm off!

Have a good time!

Have a good time.

Oh, please don't watch TV today!

- Okay!

- All right.

No matter what!

Especially this evening!
Don't turn on the TV!

Okay.

Absolutely do not!

No matter what!

No matter what, ok—

The sole human to live in the
netherworld filled with demons...

Suzuki Iruma, age fifteen.

As Iruma enjoys school life at Babyls,
he establishes his ambition—

in other words, his goal.

And that is... to raise his rank.

What lies ahead on the path he walks?

"Team Devimuse."

Come in.

What's that I smell?

Some new Hell Grey tea.

It relieves exhaustion and warms
you all the way to your wings.

It's perfect when you're
tired from work.

Here you go.

I have alcohol, too.
I'll bring out some drinking snacks.

We're working on New Moon's Eve,
so a little won't hurt.

Let's relax and watch some TV.

We're on the clock.

Keep the volume down.

Also, we're switching to a Hell's
Sinphony program sometime in the middle.

Sure thing. Until then,
I'll keep it on the Dem-dol Games.

Dem-dols? You're interested in them?

What are you talking about?
Crocell-san is appearing.

We have to cheer on our
student in her big moment.

I've climbed a mountain
and trained under a waterfall,

so I can relax on New Moon's Eve.

If you tell me not to watch TV in
the evening, obviously I'll... well...

Demons do like having fun.

Team Devimuse!

Opera! Opera, record this!

I already am.

Buy a more high-def TV!

Right away.

Surprisingly, the mysterious dem-dol
Irumi-chan is also participating.

Kalego-kun...

Don't ask me.

Hey, doesn't that look like...

I just told you not to ask me! I don't
want to get dragged into any trouble!

But that is who I think it is, right?!

Hey, what should we do?
What do you think?

I'm not doing anything!
Change the channel!

Let's cheer them on!

Why?!

Okay, let's do this!

Our sparkling impact!

Please let me go!

I must get to Iruma-sama...
no, Irumi-sama at once!

Nope!

Irumi-sama is swallowing her pride
to perform in front of the masses!

I can't believe I'm
not right by her side!

You promised you'd spend New
Moon's Eve with me, remember?

But Irumi-sama is...

Alice.

If you break your promise,
you're going to make me angry.

Heya, Azz-Azz!
Let's go cheer on Irumi-chi!

I packed us a buncha festive nummies!

Festive nummies?

Lots of cheering stuff, too!

I'm all prepared! You're coming, right?

Oh, my! If it isn't Baby-chan!

Great Master!

Welcome! Please, come in!

Let's cheer them on together.

- Wait! Mother!

- Okee!

Ta-da-da!

- Aw, how adorable!

- What is all this?

- Super-Warm Cheering Happy Happi Coat!

- Yes, Happy Happi.

- A Happy Happi is essential
when cheering on dem-dols!

Does black tea go with
your festive nummies?

Yes! I have a recommendation!

When it comes to festive nummies
for New Moon's Eve...

This is amazing.

Such precise heat...
I never knew this existed.

Now we're ready to cheer.
Let's be loud and proud, everyone!

Yeah!

Yahoo!

Yahoo! Yahoo! Irumi-chan, yahoo!

Irumi-chan, yahoo!

I apologize for the delay.
This is the best and latest TV.

Yay! Hook it up, quick!

Yes, sir.

This all began, yes... a few days ago.

I want you to volunteer as a security
guard for the Dem-dol Games.

More than anything,
you need experience in the field.

And no experience is better
than experience in the field.

You were not ready for the Deviculum.

You shouldn't run into Iru—

You shouldn't run into any
unexpected demons there.

Do your best and perform your duty.

Yes, sir!

Perform my duty...

Yes, as a volunteer, I...

Dem-dol Exercise Number 1! Ready, and...

Raise your arms high
and do a sparkly pose!

What in the world am I doing?!

Devi!

What's going on?!

Before I knew it, I was being forced
to dance dressed like this...

Someone explain this!

But you did the exercise.

Great job, President.
You know how to read the room.

Ameri-san, um...

I'll explain.

Kuromu?

This is important, so please
listen carefully, Ameri-san.

Hi, hi! I'm the super
popular dem-dol Kuromu!

But...

my true identity is Crocell Keroli
from the Misfit Class!

Say what?!

I want to shine at the Dem-dol Games,
no matter what,

so I decided to participate with
Irumi-chan, Lindy-chan, and Melun-chan!

But the rock dem-dol Gyari
interfered, and now,

we're in huge trouble
because we lost a member!

At this rate, we won't be able to
participate in the Dem-dol Games!

And that's when our savior,
President Ameri, appeared!

Now we have four members!
Let's all work together!

Let's sparkle, sparkle!

Don't "sparkle, sparkle" me!

What was with that little skit?!

I mean, it was easy
to understand, but...

It was a self-introduction.
Any dem-dol can do one.

It's a basic skill.

Is it?!

Anyway! We need your help, President!

Please, our savior!

B-But I'm here as a volunteer...

This is also a form of volunteering!

I'll contact the security company.

B-But I'm an amateur with
no knowledge of dem-dols...

I'll teach you everything I know!

We'll back you up all the way!

But! The outfit! It's so embarrassing!

Not as embarrassing as it is for us!

I'm sorry!

But your outfits look
good on you... and I'm...

Don't worry!

You're really cute, Ameri-sane!

I-Iruma called me cute...

Please. Help us, Ameri-san.

I want to win at the Dem-dol Games.

I don't care if I lose in academics.

I don't care if I lose in magic.

But...

I don't want to lose in anything
concerning dem-dols!

That's my pride as the best and
invincibly cute dem-dol Kuromu!

So please help us!

That's enough.

Thinking back...

I owe you because your songs have
ignited my fighting spirit before.

If there is a student chasing
after their desires...

I will do my best to help them.

Because I am the student council
president of Demon School Babyls.

Ameri-san...

Leave it to me!

I know I said that, but...

Just look at this lack of coverage!

The first event of the Dem-dol
Games is about to begin!

First Event


And now for our first event,
the 66-meter dash!

In the A block, everyone has their
eyes on Callam-chan of Team Callam!

Could Trindo-chan of Team
Saja also be a dark horse?

Ame— Merie-san! You've got this!

Let it rip!

Iruma...

Irumi-sama!

You're even dazzling when
you're cheering others on!

Irumi-chi's having fun.

Oh, how cute! I just
want to gobble them up!

Absolutely not.

Wow, you're so big.

- No fair. You stand out so
much just standing there.

- R-Really? Uh...
You're sure circling me a lot...

- I'm small, so I'm super jealous.

- A dem-dol's not worth anything
if they don't stand out.

Being entertaining is
devi important, too.

C-Can't I just run?

Well, no. You're a dem-dol, after all!

Just remember to be cute!

Remember to pose while running, too!

I-I see.

You're new, right? If you can
at least do that, you'll be fine.

Yup! No one gives their all
when all you have to do is run.

Huh?

Maybe I'll trip on purpose.

It's so hard to run slow.

B-But it's a race, isn't it?
Are you sure about this?

Well...

I don't want to be on camera
making weird faces while running.

You want to show off your cute side.

Just running fast doesn't
really have much impact.

And it's embarrassing if you
give it your all and lose.

We're about to start.

Everyone in block A, please line up.

Okay!

I see. I guess that's one strategy...

On your marks...

But I...

have never thought a demon giving
their all looked embarrassing.

Huh?

Get set...

Wha—

Wh-Wha...

What?!

She let it rip! Ladies
and gents, she let it rip!

She's too fast to see!
That was lightning speed!

The other competitors are...
unable to move?!

She appeared out of nowhere!
Um, she's...

Hm. I tried running with my hands
curled cutely, like I was told...

but maybe I was too cute.

Ame— Merie-san, you're the best!

So devi cool!

We've got this! With Ameri-san's
potential, we can't lose!

If you fall, you'll fall into mud
in the Cliff-Climbing Race!

It's all in the arms! The Giant Shotput!

So powerful! So powerful!
She's just too powerful!

Just who is this Merie-chan?!

That's the president.

Lady Redhair! No fair!

She's doing brilliantly.

I mean, regular dem-dols
don't stand a chance

against our student council president.

Indeed. She's always training.

She's way too strong!

She's beautiful!

What agency does she belong to?!

Devimuse?! Seriously?!

And Merie-chan totally
sweeps into first place!

Just look at the Devimuse section!
They're all so smug!

What do you think, Gontetsu-san?

I love her.

Looks like he's taken a liking to her!

We can't take our eyes off Devimuse!

Looks like this year's
getting rowdy, too.

I know she's just volunteering,
but maybe I'll see her...

Nah, that'll never happen.

She's taking up the whole screen?!

Great job, Merie-san!

You were amazing!
They didn't stand a chance!

No wonder Kuromu called you our savior!

The audience was so surprised!

Really? I, um... did my
best to appear cute.

Cute?

Yes! You were the best! Without a doubt!

You were shining the most, Ameri-san!

You're... so cute.

Huh?

Still... I didn't expect her
to stand out that much.

Oh? Feeling anxious?

No, I'll do my best.

Should I go?

I could, too!

It's okay.

We can't keep relying on you, President.

And Kuromu-chan, you save
your energy for the latter half.

I'm a part of Team Devimuse, too.

I'm going to do my best so
you can shine, Kuromu-chan!

Make sure you cheer me on!

Of course!

Lead-kun.

Thanks for coming with us this far.

I'm truly grateful, so... thank you.

Jeez, what the heck?

Do you actually feel a little
guilty or something?

Don't worry.

I already know that getting dragged
into things with you is fun, Iruma-kun.

I'll go out there with
my little brother... no,

my little sister Irumi-chan
and give it my all.

Lead-kun...

You don't need to thank me, Iruma-kun.

If anything, I should be thanking you.

I mean...

Okay, our next event is...

The fan favorite! Push, pull,
and get twisted in Tug o' Tail!

Eek!

I'm not done yet!

I'm so glad to be alive!

Sorry, but this is a competition!

Honestly, thank you!
Let's have a good game!

Oh, are you new?

You're so cute.

But once we get started,
we're not gonna hold back.

Heck yeah!

Eek! What was that?

Sorry. I'm just overflowing
with enthusiasm.

Lindy-chan from Devimuse seems
to be smirking for some reason.

I have a feeling I'd get
along great with her.

But her first opponent's
gonna be a tough one.

Huh?

With their pro tail-wagging, they're
certain to make their opponents faint!

Faint?!

He'll knock you out with his
perfect smile! It's Beeber!

Beebam!

Bee-sama! You're amazing!

Devi blinding!

Your legs are so devi long!

- Just a little. Just a little.

- That's our shining prince!
His smile is blinding.

- Just look at those long legs!

Beebam!

Apparently, his smile can
knock out his opponents.

I cut them too short.

Gontetsu-san, I know you're not
interested, but please say something.

Hey there. Are you my
opponent, little imp?

Let's do this fair and square.

But even if my tail touches you,

make sure you don't
fall in love with me!

No one cares about you!

Beebam?!

I-It was over in an instant?!

- Team Devimuse coming in
yet again with another win!

- Beebeebeebee... Beebam...

For the second round,
we have Rezin-kun of Team Beeber.

I'll avenge you.

Hey! This roster's messed up!

Where are the girls?!

H-Hey, is everyone on
Iruma-kun's team...

We're drinking.

Are you trying to wipe your memory?!

Ooh! Her tail's devi strong!

Is that another classmate of yours?

I'm not sure, but I'm going to set him
ablaze the next time I see him.

Even though you don't know him?

Lindy-chan's amazing, too!

He did a great job.

We're gonna have to
keep riding this wave.

We're counting on you!

Now for our next event,
which will take place

simultaneously with Tug o' Tail...

You win as long as you
can hit the target!

It's the Spinny Spinny sh**ting Game!

- You're so devi cute, Irumi-chan!

- The best in the netherworld!

Look, Kalego-kun! It's Iruma-kun!

He's going to play the
Spinny Spinny sh**ting Game!

I don't care!

Oh, I guess it's not Iruma-kun.
It's Irumi-chan.

It doesn't matter!

Splitting up the festive nummies.

Hey! It's Irumi-chi! Irumi-chi's on TV!

Just look at how valiant Irumi-sama is!

Camera! I order you to
just show me Iruma-sama!

This is quite exciting.

I'm having fun, too.

I'm so happy that I get to see
Alice-chan make all kinds of faces.

Indeed. We must thank his two friends.

Yup.

Don't look away, Chima.

Everyone here is going to be
blown away. Just you watch.

Whenever you put your hopes in her,
she'll always answer in kind.

Let's go, Ali-san.

It's our turn!

- Su-Ki-Ma!

- Su

- Ki

- Ma

- What? I'm bus—

- M-My comrade?

Um, the Dem-dol Games...
um, they're just so amazing...

Why did I call him?

There's no way my comrade
is interested in dem-dols!

You mean Irumi-chan.

And Merie-chan, too!

- Both were so amazing that
I instantly became a fan!

- Comrades are always comrades, Eiko-chan.

- I'm just so devi excited!

- One! More! Time!

- Su

- Ki

- Ma

The Demon Bun Eating Race.

Uh-oh! Irumi-chan! You can't eat
the other competitors' buns!

You're disqualified!

Eiko here.

After seeing the dem-dols
Irumi-chan and Merie-chan,

my heart just won't stop pounding.

While recording the Dem-dol Games,
I'm taking photos of the TV screen.

At this rate, I'm gonna end up making
scrapbooks for Irumi and Merie.

The swamp. Is this what
everyone calls the swamp?

Next time on Welcome to
the Swamp, Eiko-chan...

I mean, Welcome to Demon School!
Iruma-kun, "The Tycoon and the Jewel."

And now, a haiku.

While I am at it, I might as
well sink into a bottomless pit.
