Hello?
Are you kidding me?
"Tummy tickle, tickle tickle"?!
Kyouko
Tummy tickle! Tickle tickle!
What kind of joke is this?!
Excuse me?
Kyouko was supposed to tell me Chris's weakness! What's this?
Ah, that's right. Everyone used to tease Chris by tickling her.
What's that supposed to mean?!
If it were that easy, we wouldn't be in this situation to begin with!
Come to think of it, a couple of people were able to beat Chris in the past.
Really?
The Queen of Virie was one of them.
And the other was the King of the Night, from the Seventh Abyss.
King of the Night...
There's also someone in your world who could stand up to Chris.
A denizen of the Underworld who once matched her in strength.
When we looked into each other's eyes, time stood still
Our story began on a moonlit night
Rock'n'Roll
The key to leave it all behind is a sin
Don't be afraid, leave it to your impulses
There will be an answer soon
It's true
With clumsy steps
we dance together
Then we pretend to stumble
and our breathing is one
Let the storms rage and lightning crack
We are full of passion
The angels play a strange melody
Light flashes in the conscious parts of our illusions
We were the ones who cut a path to a nameless future
With all we have we will make it past these daunting days
To regain Haruna's stolen powers,
Aikawa Ayumu must defeat Chris.
Once again, Gaia presents him with a new trial.
Just who could this powerful denizen of the Underworld be?
Ah, my good-for-nothing darling
All right.
So,
the Underworld denizen she mentioned
is in our world right now?
Yeah.
Eu, do you know her?
In Virie,
She was known as the S-class Megalo.
S-class?!
The one from the legends?
Was she that powerful?
More than just powerful.
Even a AAA-class Megalo takes several Magiclad Girls to defeat.
The S-class Megalo was said to be unstoppable, regardless of how many fought her!
That sounds pretty incredible.
Though, if you're that surprised, you could at least get up.
I'm not that surprised.
She, Naegleria, was in fact one of my friends.
Before the great army of Virie invaded the Underworld,
I had not yet forsaken my voice and emotions.
I see you're here again, Eucliwood.
This world...
This world is beautiful.
So beautiful you could not describe it fully, even with a million words.
Right?
I'll defend this world.
Just as I promised you, right?
Yes.
Our finest warriors assembled to defend the Underworld from Virie's Magiclad Girls.
They were known as the Seventh Abyss.
So the invasion has begun.
How sorrowful.
I shall go.
Naegleria?
I must fulfill my oath...
to protect this world.
If Chris is Virie's strongest,
then she would be the Underworld's.
When the Megalo system was not yet in place,
she fought off countless Magiclad Girls all by herself.
She possessed great strength. The end.
I didn't know Virie and the Underworld had that kind of history...
You hadn't picked up on that, Ayumu?
You sure are slow.
It's common knowledge.
Is it okay for you guys to live together?
Don't sweat the small stuff, okay?
I'm a girl who lives in the present!
No problems here.
By the way, can we trust this acquaintance of yours?
She made these gauntlets for me,
to keep my magic under control.
I see.
Then, how can we meet her?
If she's in this world,
We can meet her through Anderson.
My God! Are you serious?!
Eh?
Aikawa. Are you prepared?
Prepared?
Right... Gotta keep the casualties to a minimum...
No matter what happens, don't call me.
A-Anderson?
I'll text you later.
Good luck.
That's the first time I've seen Anderson like that...
I've been looking for you, my darling.
Saras!
At school, I'm Hoshikawa Kirara.
And on stage, I'm Lovely Kirara.
My self-produced concert debuts this Sunday.
Of course you'll be attending.
Forceful as ever, I see.
Oh, I'll pay you for the ticket.
What's that?
Just coffee-flavored milk.
Then let me have some.
What? If you drink it like this, it'll be a indirect kiss...
I'm saying that's what I want,
my darling.
I'll go to your concert if I'm free.
If you're free?
No, I'll definitely be there.
Okay. Then I'll hold you to those words, my darling.
All right. I promise.
I'll definitely come to see you.
This is the first time we've made plans with each other.
That...
makes me happy.
I haven't seen her look like that before.
...makes me happy.
Whaa? Here?
Maybe she's not home.
Excuse me! It's Aikawa!
G-Good afternoon...
Th-These soft, warm, plump things are...
B-Boobs!
No! This is no time to get excited!
A-Are you okay?
Yeah, yeah, d'you think I could keep it one more day? Please?
Eh? Extra fees?
Sure, let's do that.
She has an incredible body...
Thanks a ton!
Sorry 'bout that!
Things've been pretty crazy.
This sure is a thin book,
Naegleria Nebiros.
I draw those as a hobby!
Oh, just call me Nene.
My full name sounds way too formal...
Then, Nene. Let's cut to the chase.
She fell asleep!
Nene! This is really important, so could you please stay awake?!
I'm listening, I'm listening...
She fell asleep again!
Sorry, sorry.
You're Eucliwood's friend, right...
Didja get a haircut?
This is the first time we've met.
Anyway, I wanted to talk to you about the strongest Magiclad Girl, Chris.
Oh, right, right!
Only someone as strong as me can defeat her, right?
Will you fight for us?
Eh? Me?
Sorry, no can do!
If I fought Chris, it'd turn into an all-out war here between Virie and the Underworld.
Why?
Well, y'know, it'd be between Virie's strongest and the Underworld's strongest, right?
Anyway, I just helped you out there,
so in return you gotta do something for me.
What would that be?
Couldya gimme a hand?
With my manuscript.
There's so much that needs to be done.
We'll never finish with just the two of us.
You're a life-saver!
And I promised to go to Saras' concert tomorrow, too...
Hello?
This is the girl who floats like a butterfly and thinks like a bee! What's up?
Haruna? Good timing!
Can you help me out over here? I need your genius.
Genius?
I guess I have no choice!
There's a map in my room.
Aye, aye, aye!
I'm back...
This is bad...
Bad for my heart...
Did you get some food?
My back! My back!
Th-They're touching me!
She fell asleep?!
I-If someone sees us like this...
Nene, wake up!
They'll get the wrong idea!
I'll be labelled a pervert and dragged away in cuffs!
Ah, my bad, my bad.
Yes, I'll be right there!
Huh?
There's nobody here?
That's a relief.
Nobody saw us.

Hoshikawa Kirara
Come to the front if you want to die!
Hell—
You're late, Haruna!
What are you on about?
Oh, sorry. Is this Saras?
What's up?
It's about my concert.
I haven't forgotten.
It's tomorrow night, right?
Yeah.
If you don't have your ticket, you won't be able to get in.
Have you kept it safe?
Don't worry. I've got it on me right now.
You'll come, right?
Yes, of course.
I'll be there.
All right.
I'll be waiting.
You're late...
Huh?
Excuse us.
This is the imagination of our weak-willed protagonist, Aikawa Ayumu. (CV * Horie Yui)
I was all lonely on my own, so I came looking!
Excuse us.
Why do you think we came here?
Aren't you here to help?
The thought of beating around the bush any longer disgusts me,
so I'll come right out with it.
Hold up a second! That's...
Haruna left the house saying she needed to help you out, but...
Before I knew it, she'd come back crying about how
you'd become the "Dark Lord of Lechery" himself.
I-I didn't cry!
As if I'd cry!
I'd never cry!
Don't tell lies, you stupid dumbface!
She's bawling.
You've got the wrong idea!
That's not it!
Wha? When'd things get so lively?
Long time no see.
Oh!
Didja get a haircut?
Nope.
That so? You haven't changed, Eucliwood.
You're exactly the same as back then, too.
It's her! She's the one who made Ayumu into the Dark Lord of Lechery!
Like I said, you've got it all wrong!
I'll ask you directly.
Did you engage in any impure activities with this dirty rag?
If I had, would you hold it against me?
He's a man, after all.
He's climbing the stairs to adulthood!
You lecherous piece of shit.
Well, why don't we all get started?
Eucliwood, couldya go through and crosshatch all the areas marked with an X?
Understood.
Haruna, was it?
I'll leave the thought bubbles to you, okay?
We can't entrust this job to any less than a great genius like yourself.
Great genius?
I guess I have no choice.
Well then, I'll make us something to eat.
Sera, we really need you to take care of the cleaning up!
I don't really see why that should be my job,
but whatever.
Eu?
Could this be...
That's right.
This manga is the story of Eucliwood.
Oh, I see. These characters represent the Seventh Abyss.
That's right.
If the King of the Night hadn't caused that whole disaster,
and Eucliwood had regained her voice,
then I think things might've turned out a little like this.
Why did you draw this story?
I just wanted it to have a happy ending, y'know?
I'd like to see it.
The happy ending.
Yeah.
We all would.
If we can get the hang of it, we should be done by morning.
And then...
The cat...
And the dog...
In the pot, like so...
Hey... You don't think she's...
Simmer away...
That can only be a bad ending.
Bubble away...
Big Bro, I'm scared to go all on my own!
This is the imagination of our weak-willed protagonist, Aikawa Ayumu. (CV * Horie Yui)
Bubble bubble...
Will you come with me?
What's the name of that dish?
Devil's Cream Stew.
Why the "Devil" part?!
Because it's so good, it'll blow up Hell itself.
You thoughtless killer!
All right! It's done!
What?!
That's out of this world!
She left the fort building to me, right?
That's not what she said!
The bottom of the pot is...
Outta the way! Outta the way!
It's melting! It's melting!
Oh, crap!
What're you doing, Ayumoron?
My stew!
I'm awake, I'm awake!
That was a close one! Almost drifted right off...
Huh? Where's the work?
Um... Er... We're so sorry!
You sure made a hash of that one!
It kinda got away from us.
S'okay, don't stress 'bout it!
Cool thing 'bout manga is, you can draw it anytime!
Um... Nene!
There's still time.
So, please!
Okay, let's give it another shot!
Thank you!
You should take a break.
I'm okay.
Hey, everyone should rest for a bi—
Hoshikawa Kirara
Come to the front if you want to die!
Lovely Kirara
Descends
If you touch the glittering crystal of light, you're in danger
Let's go, you plebians!
Can't you help wishing for its frozen smile?
The ages pass, will you be able to come with me?
If I show you my love, it will be your end
All right?
With ugly fangs bared...
Aikawa, you okay for time?
You've been lookin' at the clock a whole lot.
Don't you have somethin' important to be at?
Um, well...
Don't sweat it.
I'll take care of the rest.
But I want to see this through to the end!
Those girls were worried about you as well.
That's right, Eucliwood.
We'll always be one.
That's right, Eucliwood.
Fistbump
One for all!
And all for one!

I think you all made Eucliwood happy today.
Take care, okay?
I will.
I may not be able to beat Chris,
For Pedestrians and Bicycles
and I may not be able to get Haruna's power back.
It's not easy just looking forward, but
But...
My promise with Saras...
For Pedestrians and Bicycles
At least I can keep that!
I don't want to ever lose my way
I've been waiting for you, my dull-ling.
Let's launch headfirst into the finalé!
Come to the front if you want to die!
This love song from my lips...
I'm so sorry I was late!
Don't grovel like that.
You didn't do anything wrong.
But, I...
You said it, didn't you?
All right. I promise.
I'll definitely come to see you.
You kept your promise to me.
I'm happy just with that.
You've got your own problems to deal with as well, right?
I'm really sorry.
If anything, I was too presumptuous.
I shouldn't have forced this upon you.
From now on, I'll make an effort to change myself for—
You don't have to change anything.
You're fine the way you are.
Because of that promise, I ended up messing with Saras' feelings.
Thank you, my darling.
So... Do you think you could stop calling me that?
Nope. In my mind, we're already going out.
How convenient.
Oden Stall
D'you think it's okay for us to just kick back and eat here?
Sure it is! We're not workin' right now, so why not?
Oden Stall
This stuff's good!
Aikawa stopped by my place the other day.
How was he?
He's an interestin' guy.
Wouldn't mind takin' care of him for a bit.
Wow, Aikawa, having the Underworld's finest looking after you...
You sure are popular.
Chris, you shouldn't let your guard down, okay?
Yeah, yeah, yeah...
Hey mister, gimme more fried tofu!
Another bowl of fried tofu, comin' right up!
It's hot, so you be careful, all right?
I can't move
He's touching me
The distance between us presses down on my heart
Even the chatter all around me seems distant and all is frozen
On the girl that can sleep in a clamorous forest
falls a rain so bittersweet it brings the flowers to bloom
My love is so innocent the entire world is jealous
Why won't I look back to you?
I want to tell you of my love, but my mask is in the way
I want to take it off and embrace you
But I can't
Love is new to me
(CV: Iizuka Mayumi, Shimamoto Sumi, Horie Yui)
Weak!
Salty!
Terrible!
If you're gonna complain like that, why don't you draw one yourself?
That's right! That's right!
I drew this.
It's obscene, but platonic!
Plat plat!
Next time: But, that's all right
I haven't even read it, but it's already turning me on!
Climax!
Stop! I can't breathe!
More! More!
