"Best Friend Meeting."

The Misfit Class is a first-year class
at the Demon School Babyls.

At first, they were treated
as heretics at the school,

but then they did something
extraordinary by having

every member reach
rank Dalet within a year.

Of course, this drew the
attention of everyone at Babyls...

But word of them spread
throughout the netherworld

and was whispered everywhere.

Many demons learned of
their existence in this way.

The Misfit Class really is devi amazing.

Yeah.

I'm sad that we didn't win,
but "Lilith's Carpet" was amazing.

Yes.

Women who are loved like
Lilith was are blessed.

But... it's better to
love than to be loved.

Just like that winter day...

I've thought so for a while,

but there's just something
different about those guys!

And they're using the Royal One!

I wonder what all those high-rank
guys talk about in the Royal One.

What else?

It's gotta be something
so virtuous, noble,

and majestic that we
can't even fathom it.

Now, then...

It's time to commence our lecture,
"What Are Friends and Best Friends?"

Whoo!

First, what is a "friend"?

Someone you spend time with and
share your pleasure and pain with.

A blood oath swearing that you
would give your very life for them.

Ah, that's the thing you and
Clarin swore to Iruma-kun.

When you spell it out like that,
it's pretty intense.

However!

A best friend is even above that!

It is a title bestowed upon
only a chosen few friends!

Title-itle-itle!

Yes.

It is truly a contract of the soul.

An eternal pact swearing to
serve them even in death.

Th-That's so heavy!

Isn't that dangerous?

Yeah.

A matter of life or death.

Clarin, do you understand all this?

Hm?

Being his best friend is a privilege

reserved only for myself
and that idiot Clara!

But rejoice!

Iruma-sama also said...

that all those in the
Misfit Class are his friends!

We got forced into a pact
without permission!

I'm back!

Iruma-sama!

Welcome back, Iruma-chi!

I finished tending to the flower beds!

And I brought back some edible—

Iruma-kun!

Is it true that we're all your friends?!

Is it true?

Without a doubt?

That's what Azz-Azz told us!

I see. So he told you.

Well...

Personally, for a long time now,

I've considered you all my friends.

A horrifying thing to say...

...with that brilliant smile!

I guess demons who are rank He really
have a different train of thought.

I don't know about
risking my life, though...

I will only risk my life for a lady!

Hold on a second.

Am I one of these... so-called friends?

Y-Yes...

Then let's correct something!

I'm not your friend! You're my friend!

If anyone's risking their life here,
you can risk your life for me!

L-Life?!

My queen! If you must step
on someone, step on me!

Indeed! Before friends,
you are my rival, Iruma!

Now, let us spar!

Huh?!

Yay! Me, too!

Let me join.

Huh? What?

Wha?! Iruma-sama is...

What are you doing, you friends?!
Back him up at once!

Huh?

What are we supposed to do?

Help him!

Wait, what is this?! Wait!

You get the first move, Iruma!
Now, come at me!

Uh, no!

Then I'll make the first move!

What does that even mean?!

- Iruma-chi, take this!

- Why, though?!

- Iruma-sama!

Um... so, yeah.

- Masshoi! Masshoi! Masshoi!

- While I was hoisted up into the air
for 666 seconds for unknown reasons...

I'm glad you all calmed down
and didn't get hurt.

Sorry.

Things just got really fun.

It just happened.

You just get inexplicably
excited sometimes.

Let me use this opportunity
to explain what friends are!

Listen carefully!

You've got this, Iruma-chi!

Iruma-sensei!

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.

Is that it?

Yes.

Oh, jeez.

Is that all?

Huh?

We've all been friends forever, then.

Indeed.

Yeah.

We have.

Huh?

That should be so obvious that
I don't even know what to say.

Precisely what my queen said.

It's only natural.

That's not surprising at all.

We're rivals, yet friends... I see.

Yay, friends!

Everyone...

Wait, this is totally different
from Azz-Azz's explanation!

An eternal pact is way too over the top!

You're saying I was mistaken? How?

At this point, I'm starting to wonder if
we're even speaking the same language.

Azz-Azz is pretty dumb sometimes.

Indeed.

What?!

Shall we fight?

Now, now.

But this whole friend and best
friend thing just proves that

Iruma-kun's knowledge is a bit different.

He didn't know what dem-dols were, either.

Are you from the boonies?

Huh? Oh, um... well...
something like that?

Customs and dialects do
change depending on the region.

And how you season your food.

So is Kalego-sensei your friend, then?

No, I think he's different from a friend.

He's on a different level.

What about the custodian guy?

I think... he's my friend?

What about Master?

Master is Master!

What about the four girls from Class B?

As for them...

I think Garp-kun and Agares-kun
are more their friends than I am.

Friends, you say?

All right, then, what is a "best friend"?

Um, they're your friend,
but someone you're even closer to?

In that case...

Are we not your best friends, Iruma-kun?

He...

He's got a point!

If guys from other classes
are your friends,

then we must be your best friends!

Indeed!

Given the choice,
I'd prefer to be ranked higher!

Best friends... How lovely.

I guess I don't mind
making you my best friend.

I would be honored, my queen.

In a pact forever!

We are forever.

Master, too.

Huh? Wha? What?

Absolutely not, Iruma-sama!

Do not let any of them sweet-talk you!

You may only have up to two best friends!

Yeah! No more!

That rule exists?!

Best friend guard!

Well, I guess it would be cruel
for us to try to butt in.

Yeah.

And so,

the Misfit Class came
to somewhat understand

what "friend" and "best friend" meant.

So to celebrate...

Masshoi! Masshoi! Friends! Best friends!

- they hoisted Iruma up in the air
for six sets of 666 seconds.

- Masshoi! Masshoi! Friends! Best friends!

- Why, though?!

"Lead's Flirting Meeting."

Hey, Garp-kun and my lord,

want to have a devi-mixer soon?

Shh! Not so loud.

We don't want anyone to hear us.

Sorry.

But after seeing your performance
at the Music Festival,

there are a lot of girls saying they
want to do a devi-mixer with you two.

I-I see...

That means we'll make even more comrades!

That's all right with you, isn't it?

I guess.

Yay!

Encountering various loves
and leaving them...

That is the sustenance of life.

Ah, that gentledemon I met
on the shoreline that fateful day

- A wave!

- was swallowed up by
the wave known as me,

- Big.

and he never came back.

Well, anyway, will we
play Demon King Says?

Jeez, you don't waste any time, Garp-kun.

Maybe that was a bit hasty.

Daze...

I... wanna flirt, too!

Gosh, Lead-kun.

Poke.

Well, you're one to talk, Nee-san.

Jeez, you're just always
so Nee-san, Nee-san.

Lead-kun.

Nee-san!

I wanna flirt with Nee-san, too...

Like poking and hugging...

No, we should start by
exchanging our MAINE info...

And then...

Purson.

You're here! Somewhere! Aren't you?! Hey!

Nope. You're imagining it.

So you are here!

Don't worry!

The fact that you want
to flirt with Nee-san,

the fact that you were so lost in your
delusions that you couldn't stop smirking,

the fact that you want to
exchange MAINE info with her...

I didn't hear any of that!

You idiot! Not so loud! Stop!

Or that you want to hug and poke...

Shut up already!

It's so loud over there.

What's up?

- Guys' Meeting Venue

- So, anyway...

I've gathered just the guys from
the Misfit Class here for this.

Let us take our leave, Iruma-sama.

Huh?

Don't instantly abandon me!

Your friend's in trouble here!

You're too loud.

Excuse me...

Yes, Garp?

First off... Lead-dono...

Do you l-like Elizabetta-dono?

Uh... no... um...

It's not like I like her...

but I might be curious about her...

If I had to choose, um...

He's all flimsy now.

Make up your mind!

Reply logically.

Okay, how about the opposite?!
Does anyone here dislike Nee-san?!

Absolutely not! I love her very much!

Right?!

Yes! I love every single
woman of every species!

Definitely didn't ask that!

So you're saying you want to
become closer with Miss Eliza?

Ooh! Then why don't you
two hang out alone together?

Alone with... Nee-san?!

Going out!

Eating stuff!

Going on adventures!

Getting lost at sea!

Getting married!

Well, that was a dizzyingly eventful
delusion that unfolded within seconds.

Indeed. Delusions feed a man's soul.

A few things seemed to be off there.

Wouldn't Nee-san enjoy
something like shopping?

Oh, she seems like she'd like that.

No, wait!

Shopping is women's b*ttlefield.

Women's... b*ttlefield?

Women always have authority over this!

Clothes will become the center of
attention, you'll lose time together,

and worst of all...

She'll judge your taste.

T-True...

Hmm... Then how about Walter Park?

We already went before.

Oh, then...

How about Aqua Case?

It was a lot of fun.

Huh?! That's way too
impossible for a beginner!

What are you talking about?!

Huh?

We're talking swimsuits here!

You'd be a total perv to
invite someone there! No way!

Lewd crimes!

Agreed.

Too early for that!

How indecent.

Am I lewd?

Stop that! Iruma-sama isn't
well-versed in such things!

It's the truth.

Listen well, Iruma-sama.

If you'd like to invite a lady out,

you must first make an appointment
through an attendant, then have dinner.

Repeat these encounters
a number of times...

Then you must participate in the Devilam
to see if you are indeed compatible.

Then you await the right moment
to meet her parents, and then...

Wait, wait! That's way too heavy!

Is inviting a lady out a
matter of heavy or light?

How dare you?

Damn you, handsome devil.

Well, it would probably be pretty
difficult to ask Nee-san out.

Since the Music Festival,
she's grown even more beautiful!

She may be a demon, but she's
entered the realm of goddess!

She really is devi pretty.

Rock-paper-scissors for snacks? I'm in!

She has a nice personality,
and she's so engaging.

She's beautiful yet super friendly.

I changed up my nails.

She also smells nice.
Like, perfumey or aromatic.

Oh, yeah...

At the Music Festival,
Nee-san was extra dazzling.

And...

Some of you guys lucked out
with her more than others.

Okay, demon court is now in session!

The crime: doing too many
nice things with Nee-san!

I will now charge three
demons with this crime!

Three?

Who are they?

What even is this?

Incomprehensible.

Silence!

First, Sabnock Sabro!

The defendant has
committed a heinous crime.

What did I do?

You left behind some very clear evidence!

Your hands! You're definitely
holding her hand! Look! Right here!

And then you placed her on your lap!

The nerve of this guy!

But I... got rejected right at
the start, and it was all over.

That's just how the story went.

Not to mention I'm the only
one who could lift Miss Eliza.

What?!

It'd be a piece of cake
for me if I used Fractal!

You're not sorry at all!
Guilty as charged!

Next!

Purson Soi!

Every single thing about you is too good!

You're basically like some painting!

And your soul session was perfect!

Are you actually upset,
or are you praising him?

Well...

I gave it my all as part
of the music team.

And honestly...

I definitely felt a
heart-to-heart connection.

Purson, don't! Don't lean into it!

Guilty!

Aw.

Calm down, Lead-kun.

What are you looking all innocent for?

Huh?

The third! Iruma-kun!

Iruma-chi!

Iruma-kun.

Wait. I'm here, too?

You're already close with so many girls,

yet you had the nerve to
give Nee-san a love letter!

Indubitably guilty.

Guilty.

Guilty.

Guilty.

Guilty.

Guilty.

Guilty.

Capital punishment!

You, too, Azz-ku— Capital punishment?!

There.

And I didn't forget about you, Jazzy!

Demon court is now adjourned!

Listen up.

Nee-san is a proud and precious creature.

Therefore...

She's absolutely unattainable
for the guys at Babyls!

Let's all agree that none of us will
try to get the jump on the others!

Yes!

Come in.

Pardon me.

Are you here, Lead-kun?

Huh? Wha? Um... what's the matter?

Well, Clara-chan told me...

that you wanted to exchange
MAINE info with me.

So I thought we could exchange info.

Is that okay?

Y-Yes!

Okay, all done!

Bye-bye!

Bye-bye.

Looking at the moon

after my long-awaited

desires came true,

I can feel your presence in

this love letter in my hand

Lead-kun!

The agreement was broken within
five seconds of its creation.

Just look at that face.

Let us take our leave, Iruma-sama.

And so, Lead was able to get
one step closer to Elizabetta.

Lead-kun!

I was able to get Nee-san's MAINE...

My phone almost looks
like it's glowing now.

Okay!

- Eliza! Let's Talk!

- I'll send my first message right now.

My first message?

Wha...

What am I supposed to say?!

So on that note...

We will now begin the "Lead-kun's First
MAINE Message to Nee-san" meeting.

Let us take our leave, Iruma-sama.

Er...

He was at a standstill again.

- Su

- Su-Su-Su-Ki-Ki-Ki-Ma-Ma-Ma!

- Ki

- Ma

Now...

Drown within the wave known as me.

Slowly fall asleep embraced
by my endless love.

Hi. It's me, Dosanko.

Seeing your beloved makes your
cheeks blush before you know it.

You want to get closer to them.
You want to touch their hand.

Of course you think that at times.

But you see, you mustn't rush things.

Time and distance make the
heart grow fonder, after all.

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

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

Ah, all the ones I watched walk by
are now flashing before my eyes.
