04x15 - Aruji ni Niru wa Makai no Setsuri/Shitashiki Naka ni mo

[bunniefuu]

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

Suzuki Iruma, age fifteen.

As Iruma enjoys his 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?

"The Laws of the Netherworld Dictate
That One Takes After Their Master."

What? No way!

So devi true.

For real?!

Then let's see for ourselves sometime.

There's this one dem-parfait I recommend.

Ooh, what is it? I wanna try.

Well...

Near the plaza, where...

Oh...

Sorry, I ended up taking it.

Ooh, it's Jazz!

He's definitely the coolest
student in the Misfit Class.

I smell danger about him. Sniff, sniff.

One of the Rank Dalet students
in the Misfit Class, Andro M. Jazz.

But none of them know his secret...

Okay, no one's here.

Here we go.

Summoning my familiar, Split Wolf!

You sure are as fluffy as ever...

I figured you'd evolve a bit after
I got to Rank Dalet, but... damn!

Yes, his secret...

It's been a while, Supu.

...is the fact that his familiar
is this ridiculously cute.

Listen up, Supu.

We're gonna do some attack training.

Try using your front paw to hit
this target with an attack.

Go, Supu!

Its legs... are so damn short...

No! Go like, "bam"!

Use your whole body and go "bam"!

Run up to it!

Hey, no jumping like that!
I need you to body slam this!

No, not that way! Over here!

Their training continued after this.

Body slam this!
You can even use your tail!

No, stop spinning!

No, stop dancing!

I said stop dancing!

No one asked you to walk on a tightrope!

No magic, either!
Though that's sorta amazing!

We're not done yet! Let's go, Supu!

Their training continued even more...

Yes! Now finish off with a cool pose!

...and he ended up with a brilliant
street-performer familiar.

Not like that...

I'll never be able to summon you
in front of anyone if you're like this.

Actually, I might be
able to charge a fee...

I know, I know. You want your ball.

I'm pretty sure I had one in—

Pardon the intrusion.

Wha—Huh?! Iruma-kun?! Wh-Wh-Why?!

Er, well...

When did you get here?!

Before you did.

No way!

Anyway, what're you up to?

Could you take this and
pretend you never saw anything?

You're trying to give me money?!

I don't want it! You're scaring me!

Uh, you being in my locker is scarier!

You've got a point!

Um...

So...

You were hiding to eat some snacks...

The snack police have been
pretty ruthless lately.

Hey! I caught Iruma-chi
in the act! Catch him!

You're eating too much!

And you're hiding to train your familiar?

I don't think you need to hide...

No! No way!

Familiars are basically the symbol
of their master's uniqueness!

Asmodeus has a Gorgon Snake.

Sabro has a Kelbi.

Crocell has a Blizzard Wolf
and a Snow King Fox.

Yay!

Even Lead has a slightly
awesome Clever Monkey!

"Even"?

Allocer has a Smart Hawk.

When they're all together...

We are definitely not the same type!

This is not what I imagined at all!

- It's totally in this category!

- A peaceful world!

- A Peaceful World

- You yell a lot, huh, Jazz-kun?

Anyway...

They say that a familiar's form
is influenced by their master.

It made me curious, so I did some digging.

And apparently...
it's supposed to look like this.

Hey, Iruma-kun...

Could it be that I'm actually
super cute or something?

I had no idea...

Huh?! Uh... I'm not sure...

It didn't really change after
I went up a rank, either...

My hands are tied.

I see...

Honestly, maybe I should
void this contract...

Huh?

I mean, it's crossed my mind
before, but I just can't.

It's not like this is Supu's fault.

It wouldn't be right to get rid of it
just because it's not what I imagined.

And it's totally attached to me.

I actually think that little one
is a lot like you, Jazz-kun.

What?! In what way?!

You're a free spirit, and you
do some bad things at times...

but you're actually super nice
and always go along with everyone.

And you're always right up front
when it really counts.

So I'm pretty sure...

this one will also be strong and
reliable when you need it the most.

Is that how I am?

You do kinda seek attention, too.

Wait, really?

There are scales on its tail!

They're sparkling! They look like jewels!

Whoa, really?!

I couldn't tell since it's been
wagging its tail so hard.

Wow! It's just like the picture!

It really has grown!

Do you think it'll get bigger?

Definitely! And it'll look super cool!

Wanna bet on it?

Huh? I mean, I'm gonna bet that it will...

Ah, then I guess it
won't be much of a bet.

Yeah.

Iruma-sama!

Where'd ya go? Let's eat lunchies!

Iruma-sama!

Oh, whoops! The snack police are here.

I'm gonna go now.

Bye-bye!

Bye-bye.

Well, I guess we can keep
moving forward slowly.

Ah...

This is...

Huh?! My snacks are gone!

What's up?

Snacks?

Oh, uh, it's nothing!

Yeah, I guess you really
are just like your master.

"Even Among Those Who Are Close."

Break time!

I got to talk to Nee-san
three times today.

One of my favorite games
is getting a new release!

The weather's great!
Today is such a good da—

Shax Lead.

I want you to...

duel me.

Dear Mother and Father, and also Nee-chan.

I might actually die today.

After school!

Huh? Where's Azz-Azz?

He said he had something
to do and went home first.

Aw.

It seemed really important.

Why, you...

Shax Lead...

To think you'd prove to be
such a worthy opponent...

Don't underestimate me, man.

Here I go!

Ready...

Fight!

How dare you?!

Take this!

- You win!

- Yay, 66 wins in a row!

One more time!

What? Let's take a little break.

I guess I'll reexamine my
moves during that time.

But seriously...

He said he wanted to duel me,

so I thought he'd finally
burn me to a crisp, but...

I never thought the day would come
when I'd be playing Asmodeus one-on-one.

Azz-A— um...

He's progressed a lot since
we first entered this school.

Why did you want to game
with me all of a sudden?

Well...

I actually promised Iruma-sama
that I'd play this game

that will be released soon with him!

Let's play together! Yay, games!

Meaning I need to get used to
a variety of games before then!

I should've known it was Iruma-kun.
I guess I'm just the sandbag.

Yes, pretty much.

But you know...

You prioritize attacking too much!
You need to think about defense, too.

But then the duel would take too long.

Small attacks are useless.

Aw, but that's the best part!

The satisfaction you feel when you win
by slowly chipping away at their HP!

Want me to teach you how to
effectively defeat your opponent?

You can even call me "Professor."
Gosh, if you insist.

Huh?

Er, nothing. I'm sorry.

Say, Azz-Azz...

What were you like when you were little?

Huh?

I mean, you don't seem like someone
who played games as a kid.

Well, my environment...
didn't really allow for that.

Wait, is he actually gonna tell me
about it? I'm sorta surprised.

For as long as I can remember...

I've always been told
that I was brilliant.

Every day, I trained diligently,

honed my knowledge and techniques,

and lived my life as a demon
who highly valued etiquette.

- Aw, my little Alice-chan is
just so cute, cute, cute...

- It was always quite chaotic
whenever my mother was around...

Hey, look.

That's who everyone's talking about...

- It's Asmodeus-sama.

- Maybe I'll talk to him.

- Oh, I could never...

But I remember my immediate
surroundings being very quiet.

I didn't feel unhappy because of that.
I even enjoyed it.

Though I'm aware that I'm slightly...
different from others.

So I still don't really
understand the... flow?

You know, the right way to generally
interact with other demons...

Did you happen to invite me over today

because you want me
to teach you that flow?

Wh-What are you saying?! Of course...

not. No.

Right...

I am the heir apparent
of the Asmodeus family,

and I cannot do anything to embarrass
myself as Iruma-sama's attendant.

But...

Just slightly... only slightly...

I might find that your closeness
with Iruma-sama...

may or may not make me
feel a little jealous...

If I were a slightly more common demon,

I thought I might be able to talk
to Iruma-sama more casually.

Er, listen...

From my point of view,
you're a pretty normal kid, Azz-Azz.

I mean...

You're at the top of the class,
you're handsome—as much as I hate that—

and you started off at Rank Dalet,
so I think you're amazing.

But...

Where do you want to eat lunch today?

- Whenever you're with
Iruma-kun or Clarin,

- The weather's nice today,
so perhaps outside?

- you're just a normal,
energetic classmate.

Then let's eat the bengabero berries
I picked in the forest with Mommy!

Actually, I think you
could let loose even more.

Do what you want, say what you want,
and act stupid.

I mean, we're school kids, after all.

Bye-bye!

See ya!

Where should we go for Hell Grey tea?

Like with love, I just can't decide.

Oh, Dosa-chan.

Is that all right?

It is!

But what exactly am I supposed to do?

Something like this?

Just choose whatever you want.

Like go to the arcade or eat some mamen.

Buy and eat food, go window shopping.

hit up a Screaming Room, or go bowling!

I personally recommend Devi Burger!

It's huge and yummy!

Devi delicious.

Devi Burger... I see.

I'll even lend you some
games from my Battler.

I see.

And then...

Of course, there's the "oh, my" stories.

That's what guys talk about.

- I talked to Iruma-kun about that stuff
before, and he seemed super interested.

- And it was totally amazing.

- What was totally amazing?

You swine... You spoke to Iruma-sama
about such vulgar things?

Er, um...

I'll burn you down!

I'm gonna be burned to a crisp!

A few days later...

Azz-kun, did you buy the new game?

But of course! I've even
finished powering up.

Wow, that's amazing!

I'm so excited to go on quests with you.

What's up? Is that a game?

It's really fun.

I wanna play, too!

Oh, do you wanna try?

Yuppy yup!

First, you press this...

It turned on!

Then, once you start, you make your
own character and put in a name...

Name is Moi Moi.

- Next, you set up your beginning stats...

- Ahem.

I-Iruma-sama...

So apparently, this new game

also has a version where
you can experience

the game as though you were in it.

And, um...

Wh-Why don't we go to the arcade and
then go buy and eat some Devi Burger?!

What?! I wanna go!

Wow, this is rare! You never
suggest any stops on the way home!

Me, too! I wanna go, too!

Curses, you're so annoying!
Make sure you contact your family.

Yay! I can't wait!

We're taking the devikura
in three, two, one...

Devi good!

Devi amazing!

You can edit and write on them, too!

I took one of these with
my family the other day!

You can make your eyes super huge!

Well, don't.

My plan is to go buy and
eat some food after this.

We need to hurry and find
this interactive game...

Did you find it?!

This looks fun!

Come on! Let's play!

Hey! We don't have time for that—

I love playing bat catcher games, too.

Let's play.

That's it, Iruma-sama!

You'll get it this time!

I've avenged you!

Nice, Azz-Azz!

Thanks, Azz-kun!

I won't let you near Iruma-sama!

Wow, perfect.

Nice!

You've become even more
skilled, Iruma-sama!

Yup, yup! Hup, hup!

So many candies!

I can probably get these...

You've got this!

Yes! Right there!

Go, go!

Magic Beast Hunter?

Ooh, I can't wait!

I didn't think there'd
be such a long line...

The VR machine is over here!

Have some candies!

It's even fun to line up when
it's the three of us together!

- Yes.

- Yeah!

Though things didn't go
as originally planned,

once Asmodeus and the other
two got to the VR game...

Wow, this is amazing. It's so real!

You look great, Iruma-sama!

But...

Why did you choose that?

Aw, why not?

Ooh, a cave!

Let's check it out!

And so...

They enjoyed their grand after-school
adventure to their hearts' content.

That was so much fun.

- Yeah.

- Yup!

I do regret that we didn't have time
to go to Devi Burger, though...

We can do that next time!

Iruma-sama, d-does that mean...

Yeah! Let's make stops more often!

Let's make stops... Let's make stops...

Yay! Yeah, let's do it!

Right?

Yeah!

Yes!

Whenever you're with Iruma-kun or Clarin,

you're just a normal,
energetic classmate.

But you know, I think you had
too much equipment, Azz-Azz.

I clearly had the perfect amount of
offensive and defensive equipment!

And what was that thing you had on?!

You both looked great.

Thank y—

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

- Su

- Ki

- Ma

Azz-Azz, I heard the Iruma
squad went to an arcade!

How was it?!

Yes.

Iruma-sama appeared to have
had quite a bit of fun.

Cool! You should invite
me next time, too!

I guess he is just a normal student.

Then I guess we'll need one more.

One more?

There are certain things you
have to wait your turn for...

So I bought three.

Huh?

Huh?

Thus Lead realized that,

while he was indeed a student,
Asmodeus was not normal at all.

This is for your home?

There is a very important
event that occurs

at the end of the year even
in the netherworld:

the end-of-year party.

Demons eat, drink, and have fun.

But of course, Iruma and
his friends are underage,

so they absolutely
cannot have any alcohol.

No alcohol for them.

Soul-ly soft drinks.

You know, because they're demons.

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

"A Misfit Casual Gathering"
and "Netherworld Devotee."

Oh? The end-of-year party seems to be...
