"Food for the Young"

Welcome, fledglings
who would be Demon King.

I am Leviathan Leidzi, Rank Vav,
from Levialon Netherwater Academy.

I'm Belial Berry Razberry, Rank He,

a first-year
at Jackapo Subtyrannic Institute.

I am Iruma, Rank He, a first-year
at Babyls Demon School.

We are honored to be granted
an audience with the Thirteen Crowns.

Let us skip the formalities.

There is but one thing
we wish to ask you brats:

Should you become the Demon King,

how do you intend
to rule the Netherworld?

I shall lay down rules,

and have all demons abide by them.

I will create a Netherworld of freedom,
governed by law and order.

He raised his hand right away
and gave a concise answer!

He's a genius!
Give him first place already!

Levi-sama, please refrain
from taking pictures during the interview.

And you?

Yes! My turn!

I will make a fun world where even
idiots can understand the rules!

One where the strong stand on top,
and the weak eat dirt!

Bold and flashy
like a true demon should be!

My grandson is so talented!
He'll go down as a legend!

Belial-sama, please.
No giving pocket money during interviews.

There's more where that came from!

And you?

What kind of Netherworld
do you wish to create?

I...

I think...

Uh...

I think the Netherworld
is already fine as it is.

So you believe all this instability
is "fine" too?

Is the Netherworld unstable right now?

You seem to be rather unaware
of the current affairs.

I-I'm sorry!

I don't really know much
outside of Babyls.

Right, you are...

No, forget it.

That's why...

I want to create a Netherworld
that's like Babyls... I think.

Then shouldn't Sullivan-sama
become the Demon King instead?

Huh? Oh, right...

Th-That does sound fun.

Maybe I should just
become the Demon King after all.

Hey!
- That ain't part of the plan, Sacchan!

Very well, we appreciate
all of your ideas.

That concludes the interview.

May the three of you
hold fast to your ideals,

and grow through your rivalry.

Yes, sir!

Now, then.

Welcome to the Thirteen's Dinner.

So much food!

Looks yummy!

What a feast.

Just what I'd expect
from the Thirteen's Dinner!

Let's dig in!

Eat up, eat up!

There.

You girls get along so well!

Still the usual over at Border Control?

Baal.

That's right.

We're also assisting
in the search for Behemolt.

Sounds like a tough job.

Anything else?

Something that'll shake up
the Netherworld to its core?

Nothing so far.

Thank you for the meal the other day.

Oh, don't mention it!

Let's play dress-up again sometime, okay?

Y-Yes!

That's a promise!

He is most likely a human
brought here by Sullivan-sama.

Yet he has been invited
to the Thirteen's Dinner,

the very pillar of the Netherworld.

What could Sullivan-sama
possibly be thinking?

Judging by your face,
I'd say something's up.

You're imagining it.

Nah, there's definitely something.

There isn't.

Whatever. Not that I give a damn.

It's been a while, Henri-san.

Oh, it's you, Iruma-kun.

Ameri-san has been taking good care of me.

Good care?!

I-I see

Thank you for coming all the way here.

I'm sorry I wasn't much of a host today.

Oh, no. Please don't mind me.

Still...

I never expected Iruma
to become a Demon King candidate.

On that note...

I'm truly honored that you consider me
one of Iruma's educators.

For now, you're still only a candidate,

but I would like to entrust
the Netherworld's future to you.

Sullivan-sama!

I have high hopes for you,
Bachiko-chan.

I, Barbatos Bachiko, shall do my utmost
to live up to your expectations.

Master!

You're here, Master!

Congratulations on becoming
a Thirteen Crowns candidate!

I'm only a stand-in.

It's too soon to celebrate,
my foolish disciple.

Bachiko-chan,
did you just call Iruma-kun a fool?

Iruma-kun.

Forgive me.

I had the wrong impression
of you earlier.

Nah, it's totally fine.

I've heard about you for some time.

The commotion at Walter Park,

and the unlocking of Royal One
at Babyls...

You were behind them, weren't you?

Y-Yes.

So you're THAT guy, huh.

Woah, crazy.

As the Three Greats' grandchildren,

we will likely see each other
often from now on.

I will not lose to the likes of you.

Yeah! Me too!

Gimme your best shot,
Leidzi-kun! Iruma-chan!

Huh? Uh, okay!

Why'd you put your finger on mine?

You stuck it out.
- Because you stuck it out.

Eyes here, everyone!

Since we're here, why don't
you three take a picture together?

Scooch in more.

Perfect!

Alright, everyone! Strike the 3-3-3 pose!

Three... what?

Like this!
- Like this?

Hold it! I decide the poses!

Photo time!

Say devi!

Devi-nice!

Let's see
- Lemme see..

Why's my Iruma-kun so tiny here?!

Why isn't my Raz right in the middle?!

Stop whining! This is perfect already!

Okay, one more!

Gimme the camera!

- Give it here!
I need more pictures of Iruma-kun!

- No! Just leave it to me!

You're just going to focus
on your grandson!

Like you wouldn't, Beli-yan?!

I'm taking the pictures!

That's it, grandmother! Crush them!

Give 'em hell, gramps!

Man,

I had a blast.

Me too!

How'd it go? Were you nervous?

Yeah...

Naturally,
you were the cutest among them!

I couldn't be more proud.

We also took lots of pictures.

I'll have Opera make tapestries,
posters, and cushions out of them...

Grandpa.

Grandpa...

Do you want
to make me the Demon King?

The Demon King...

holds the highest, most demanding
position in the Netherworld.

You see, I want to open up
another option for your future:

the path to becoming the Demon King.

But that path takes a lot of preparation.

This dinner was a part of that.

Of course, it's perfectly fine if you
choose not to become the Demon King.

Your grandpa is just being
a little meddlesome as always.

I see.

Thank you.

It's just that...
I felt really out of place.

I don't think I was able
to give a proper answer.

Ah, that's totally fine!

The question didn't matter at all!

Quite amusing, those three.

Agreed.

I liked the way Leidzi eats.

Contrary to his appearance,
he's voracious.

Downright savage, even.

When I pointed out his table manners...

He replied, "According to my rules,
this is how you're supposed to eat."

I just love how he sticks to his g*ns
and stays firm on his rules.

Kid's got guts.

Speaking of contrast,

Razberry...

His table manners were a mess,

but he ate the cleanest of them all.

He kept mixing different dishes together
into these weird concoctions.

It seems he's a picky eater too.

He picked out everything he didn't like...

...and sneaked them into Leidzi's plate!

A demon's true colors come out
the moment they eat a meal, after all.

That is why we hold these meetings
over "dinner."

Children that young
don't hold themselves back.

Their desires are on full display!

Right, their desires.

And the perfect example of that is...

Yummy! Delicious! Tasty!

Ah, excuse me!

Can I have seconds?

That was the first time I've seen someone
ask for seconds at the Thirteen's Dinner!

And he looked so happy,
savoring every last bite.

He completely cleaned his plate.

He could even go toe to toe with Behemolt.

Just thinkin' about it gives me chills.

Now, isn't that wonderful?

In other words,

his desire knows no bounds.

It sends shivers down my spine.

The thought of him...

becoming the Demon King.

"Beneath the Sunlight"

Iruma-sama!

I heard from mother that you were
invited to the Thirteen's Dinner!

Y-Yeah...

Tart in dinner?

On top of that, you were introduced
to them as a talented young demon!

You are basically the next Demon King
at this point!

No! Not even close!

Is that something delicious?

I was just accompanying grandpa...

Even so, it's amazing!

I've been making
my own preparations as well.

But as expected,
I'm nowhere near your level!

Preparations? For what?

Whazzat?

Yes!

Once next year starts
and the short third term ends...

we'll become second-years!

S-Second-years!

The Misfit Class does not change rosters,
so we will still be classmates.

Yep! Azz-kun, Clara!
I'll be counting on you guys!

Iruma-chi, Azz-Azz! Me too!

I've heard that second-years
have more practical classes.

Woah, practical classes...
Sounds tough!

We'll have access to more spells too.

And more subjects!

Last but not least...

Kouhais!

Kouhais?!

Right! That means,
the new first-years are coming!

We have to show those newcomers
how amazing you are, Iruma-sama!

They might even start calling you
"Iruma-chi-senpai!"

Iruma-chi-senpai...

Senpai?

Iruma-senpai!

Let's eat!

Do you like onigiri?

Have some cookies, senpai!

Hello? Netherworld to Iruma?

Iruma-sama?
I think you've got the wrong idea!

Iruma-sama!

What're you doing, Iruma-chi?!

If you don't act like a proper senpai,
they'll walk all over you...

Fetch our bread, paisen.

...like this.

I shall burn those scoundrels to ash!

Whoa! Azz-kun, please don't!

Okay, let's practice!

Roleplay time!

We'll be the kouhais.
Iruma-chi, you're the "cool senpai."

Not sure if I can pull that off...

Alright! All good to go.

Let's start with greetings.

Iruma-chi-senpai!

Iruma-sa... senpai!

Top of the mornin' to ya!

W... Wassup.

Stiff! You're so stiff!

What are you, a statue?

And what's with the "Wassup"?!

Uh... Yes.

You don't have to be so formal with us,
Iruma-sama!

I'm not used to this...
It's so hard.

Then show him how it's done, Azz-Azz.

What? How?

You gotta scold us for being too noisy!

You're good at that, aren't you?

This feels so strange.

Lights, camera, action!

Asmodeus-senpai!

Good morning, senpai!

Iru...

You look so gloomy!
Wanna shake some maracas?

How about dancing, then?

C'mon senpai!
Scold us! Show some backbone!

- C'mon! C'mon!

- Scold? Even if we're just acting,
how could I possibly scold Iruma-sama?

Senpai! Asmodeus-senpai!

Hey hey!

Hey hey hey!

Practice...
Yes, this is merely practice.

But how could I, his best friend,
ever raise my voice at him?

However...

Huh? Azz-kun? What's wrong?

What happened?
He's not moving a muscle!

Did your own kouhai scare you, senpai?

Silence, Valac.

Stop poking me.
Sit down and do your homework quietly.

But you're scolding me just fine, senpai!

Azz-kun, you can snap at me too, you know?

Like when we first met.

When we first met? You mean to say...

The name's Iruma!

I'm the one giving
the speech here, Student Rep.

What power!

Abel-houke...

He's so dazzling!

Yet I cannot look away
from this radiance!

It's a duel!
- Yes!

Slow.

You're far too slow, Asmodeus-kun.

You slay me, Iruma-sama!

Please! Make me your underling!

Sure.

We were the same as we are now.

Nope! Not at all!

Not even close!

We were completely different!

You're kidding, right?
Are we erasing the old "Azz-kun"?

I have no idea what you're talking about.

My first time meeting with you guys...

Heave h*! Heave h*! Heave h*!

Clara?!
I don't think that happened either!

Oh, Azz-Azz! You're hopeless as ever.

- Perhaps I should give you
a proper scolding right now.

- Now, now.

- Guess I have no choice!

Teach us! Clara-senpai!

Hello! My cute kouhais!

I, your esteemed senpai,
will be teaching you lots!

So listen up, ya hear?

Yes, senpai!

First, no running in the halls!

No flying either!

Always keep tissues,
handkerchiefs, and candies on you!

Be sure to wash your hands
and horns after coming from outside!

Say "hello" to your senpai
whenever you see them.

Remember, greetings are important.

Yes!

Huh?

Teachers get super scary
when they're angry,

so if you're pulling pranks,
be sneaky about it.

And watch out for Eggy-sensei.

His punishments are the worst.

Remember this well.

Yes...

Why is she actually...

better at this than us?

If you're ever in trouble,
your senpai will be there!

Yes...

We should tell them
all about the school too.

Good idea!

We should be nice to them, too.

I think we would be better off
showing our dignity.

Dignity?

Then we should dress like g*ng leaders
and show 'em who's boss!

Wow! Sounds great!

Wait!

Do not forget about elegance!
We will need some designer clothing.

The dignified noble g*ng boss look!

Ask me anything!

Hey!

I am so sor...

You're hilarious, Iruma-chi!

Oh, come on.
We knew that wouldn't work.

Should we ask Nell-Nell-senpai?

Schenell-senpai?

Let's not.

But you know what?

No matter what our kouhais are like,

and once we're second-years,

as long as the three of us are together,
next year will be fun too!

Indeed!

Yeah! It'll be super duper fun!

We'll study hard too!

Let us train together!

So I can protect you
if a gentle-looking, bespectacled demon

with a bizarre accent ambushes us!

Huh? Uh, yeah!

Let's do this!

Yeah!

A happy face! A devi-cute cowlick!

Hm? What's going on here?

- The Team Iruma's snoozing!

- They're adorable!

- They're out cold.

They look so squishy!

These little...

Wake up, you morons!

Don't you realize
you'll be second-years soon?!

They ended up in the school paper
the next morning.

I... must be a light eater.

A light eater?

I-I dunno.

I'm... scared!

Iruma...

He is most likely a human
brought here by Sullivan-sama.

What could Sullivan-sama
possibly be thinking?

I should warn Ameri
not to get too close to Iruma.

And naturally, absolutely no dating!

As long as my glasses, no, my eyes
still have life in them, I won't allow it!

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

"The Dem-Dol Games"

Wh-Why did Ameri become a Dem-Dol?!

Ameri!
