Felis catus.
A domesticated animal of the human world.
Danger level: D.
Th-That was too close for comfort!
God knows what I would be now without my Heaven-made providence suit!
The human world is truly a tightrope over the abyss.

Oh, but I'm finally here!
How eagerly I've looked to this day!
I now go forth to love and serve the venerable Tenma-senpai!

Episode 5 The Angel Whose Illusions Were Shattered Like Hell
Great, I left my wallet in the classroom.
I need wings to get through the day
after an all-night raid, but I forget my angel oil.
My presence is payment enough. Spit it out!
Um, excuse me...
Huh?
I was hoping you could help me.
Freak alert!
Where might I find the first-year classrooms?
Just saying, but you might want some professional help.
You a transfer student or somethin'?
Huh?!
Uh, yes! Something like that.
Well, that's perfect.
Perfect?
Could ya' gimme some cash?
What is this person saying?!
I've got a little dilemma. No wallet, see?
Asking a stranger for money?
Could this be normal in the human world?
Don't worry, I'll pay you back.
If I win an extra drink, anyway.
Payback up to chance?!
In goods, not cash?!
Wait, I remember studying this in Heaven!
This is...
Jump for me.
Clink
A shakedown!
Shakedown!
Wait, just look at her!
The dark makeup under her eyes,
the messy hair, the bossy attitude...
Could she be what humans call...
a punk?!
Born to Be Holier Than Thou
Lord have mercy! Day one in the human world,
and I'm getting shaken down by a punk!
Lord have mercy! Christ have mercy!
I'm setting this person's danger level to A+!
Oh, my. Gab-chan?
Buying something?
Hey, nice timing. Could ya' gimme some cash?
I don't mind, but...
Someone you know?
Transfer student, I guess.
Is it just me, or is that Tap-chan?
"Tap-chan"?
Our underclassman in angel school, Tapris-chan.
Oh, right. Her.
Look. She's even wearing the angel school uniform.
Huh. Thought it looked familiar.
Excuse me.
Sh-She summoned an accomplice?! The scoundrel!
But I am an angel!
Do as you will, I will not give you any money!
I will never yield to evil! And anyway...
I only have thirty yen on me!
That voice... You are Tap-chan!
Yes! I am the holy angel Tapris...
Huh?
Shiraha-senpai?
Yes. It's been ever so long, Tap-chan.
It's wonderful to see you!
Oh, Shiraha-senpai, your face is a sight for sore eyes!
Your face would be a sight for mine, too.
Oh, how rude of me!
I didn't know what dangers might lurk in the human world, so...
Tap-chan, what are you doing here?
Well...
If you're ever lonely, you can come visit me anytime.
I was overcome with loneliness, so I came to visit Tenma-senpai!
My, my.
In fact, I've been searching for her classroom, but...
I forgot! I was being shaken down by a punk!
A punk?
Her! She's a punk!
It's my first day in the human world, and I've been through Hell already!
But I swear that I will put the fear of God in her!
Shiraha-senpai?
Huh? What's so funny?
Excuse me.
Well said. All right...
Let's make her change her ways!
Yes!
You done yet over there?
What?!
This is Tenma-senpai?! And she's a faillen angel?!
Come on. Are you blind?
But...
T-Tenma-senpai!
I've been looking for you all day! Where have you been?
Right in front of you.
What's a "faillen angel"?
An angel whose goal in life is to hole up at home
and game all day, every day.
She really is a failure of an angel!
But what about the you I knew in Heaven?
Yeah, that me was a lie.
Gasp!
No...
The angel I've looked up to for so long... was a lie?!
Lord have mercy.
How did this happen?
What could have caused this?
Caused this?
Café au Lait
The work of a demon?
Yes! No matter how addicting human entertainment may be,
it alone could never lead her to fall into temptation.
I can only conclude that her fall is the work of a demon.
I see.
Does anything come to mind?
I'd meet the demon if I came here in half an hour?
What kind of demon could be waiting for me inside?
Could it be...
No, don't let fear creep into your heart!
I'm saving Tenma-senpai!
Charge!
E-Excuse me...
No one's here?
So you've come.
Show yourself!
You didn't run away. I commend you for that.
Show yourself, you coward!
As you wish. I shall reveal myself to y—
Huh?
What the hell?! It won't open!
Welcome.
Who is this person?
So we meet, Tapris.
Scared speechless, I see.
So you're searching for the cause of Gabriel's fall?
Aren't you going to get out of that?!
I knew that bringing these two together would result in hilarity.
Now let's see the intensity.
Do you know something?
What did I miss?!
Do I know something?
Oh, you poor angel.
Very well. As a reward for making it this far, I shall tell you.
Listen well.
The cause of Gabriel's fall...
is I,
Kurumizawa Satanichia McDowell!
Y-You did this?!
Indeed! Gabriel has already sworn loyalty to me!
You're lying!
Tenma-senpai would never bow before evil!
Oh, she was formidable, yes.
But before my devilish actions...
Devilish Actions
She was completely powerless!
Devilish actions?!
Behold! The proof.
Waitress?
Gabriel is servant to my every whim.
I only say the word, and she will be dressed.
How... How...
Your beloved Gabriel, humiliated in garments of my choosing. How does it feel?
How enviable!
Huh?
Oh, that's not what I meant.
How evil!
How dare you play dress-up with her?!
I'll be taking that photo.
Huh?
D-Don't misunderstand.
It's my duty to protect her dignity.
It's definitely not because I want it or anything!
Oh, right. If I recall...
I had another photo.
What?! Another?! It mustn't see the light of day!
It doesn't have to if—
If I must, I'll look.
Here.
H-How did you get that?!
I leave it to your imagination.
I-It can't be!
You dare defy me, slave? Off with them!
Yes, Satania-sama...
H-How depraved...
I see that you now understand.
Gabriel is in my possession.
U-Unforgivable...
Sullying Senpai's purity is an eternal sin!
I declare you a special A-class threat!
I will eliminate you immediately!
You're all bark and no bite.
But so be it. I'll humor you.
Shining from Shook Foil
The Stately Pleasure Dome
Gab-chan... Sorry!
This is quickly getting out of hand!
I never thought Tap-chan would be so daring!
This is better than I imagined!
What will she do now?
What do I do now?
I rushed in like a fool without thinking.
Now that I am thinking...
Do I stand any chance against someone who defeated Tenma-senpai?
So how shall we settle this?
Um, maybe... peacefully?
Peacefully?
Giddy
Uh, maybe not so much peacefully as safely...
I mean, erm...
Old Maidly!
Old Maid?
Y-Yes, Old Maid!
Well, well...
Come! I accept your challenge!
I won't lose!
Gab-chan's fate now rests on a game of Old Maid.
And she doesn't know it!
You're not bad.
Neither are you.
The odds are 50-50.
All I can do...
is leave this in God's hands!
I choose you!
What's the big idea?!
Huh?! What idea?
You had an iron grip on that card!
N-No, I was... Right!
I was giving my hands a workout!
Why would you work them out now?!
Look! A wild bahamut in the hall!
What? Really?
Where? Where is it?
Oops, sorry. Just my wild imagination.
Come on. You're holding up the game. Pick your card.
You held up the game.
Sucks to be you!
You switched the cards in your hand!
Stooping to accusations?
Since when was there a rule
against switching the cards in your own hand?
Above all else, I am a demon.
It's your own fault for being fooled.
You've made your point. Now, pick your card.
Which one is the old maid?
This one?
Or this one?
Peep
I-It's not that one.
I can read you like a book!
Victory is mine!
I lost... I'm sorry, Tenma-senpai!
Now, begone, loser. I can't stand to look at you.
I-I'll leave you in peace this time!
But I swear that I will pry Tenma-senpai free from your evil grasp!
Prepare yourself, you demon!
That was awesome!
Who knew forcing an angel to surrender would feel this good?
It was entertainment of the highest caliber.
I know, right?
Wait, since when were you here?!
And why are you beaming?
I'm lost.
How do I get out of here?
This human school is too big.
Can I help you?
Looking for someone?
I-Is she...
Permanent Trust Issues
going to harass me?!
I'm a bad luck magnet right now.
More bad things incoming! Abort, abort!
Hello?
I-I'm fine! Don't mind me!
I'm only pretending to be lost.
Pretending to be lost?
So if you'll excuse—
A-Are you okay?
Good grief. Pick the locker up when you knock it down.
There. All better.
Th-Thank you.
But I don't have any money, honest!
I'm not going to bill you.
Anyway...
That's not our uniform. Are you a transfer student?
Let me guess. You got lost?
Erm, well...
So you're in middle school?
No wonder you couldn't find your way out.
I'm thinking of coming here next year, actually.
So you snuck in to have a look around.
I'm sorry for being a bother.
You're not a bother! You're a future underclassman.
She's so nice...
As if she's made of kindness and compassion!
What is it?
U-Um, may I ask your name?
Me? I'm Tsukinose.
So... Tsukinose-senpai.
"S-Senpai"...
E-Erm, what about yours?
I'm Chisaki.
Chisaki-chan, then.
Maiten High School
Thank you so much.
You didn't have to take the time to see me out.
Don't mention it.
Could she be an angel?
Maybe we could have a nice chat over tea sometime.
Yes, I'd love that!
Hey! What are you doing out here?
I searched the whole school for you.
I was hoping you'd be so kind as to let me see your homework.
That was assigned last week! You still haven't done it?!
Good grief. You still have a day, so do it yourself tonight.
There's an in-game event I can't miss tonight.
I'll do it myself next time, I swear.
You say that every time!
Tsukinose-senpai?
Oh, Tapris? Didn't see you there.
Whatcha doin' out here?
Huh?
I should ask you the same.
You shouldn't cause this loving angel such trouble.
Hold up. Vigne's a demon.
Huh?
Tsukinose-senpai, you're a demon?
Erm... Yup. You caught me.
But you're so kind, loving, and caring—
Was it all an act designed to lower my guard?!
No, it wasn't!
Playing the straight man on my very thoughts...
You are a demon!
Shoot. Bad habit.
Hey, don't underestimate Vigne.
Her straight man game's harder than the back of God's head.
Stop talking, you!
You see, Chisaki-chan...
She suddenly feels so distant...
Yeah, she's got the fear of all creation in her.
Don't worry, Chisaki-chan!
I want to be friends with you, that's all.
Th-Thank you for seeing me out.
Excuse me!
She hates me now.
Just when I thought we were going to be friends...
Hey, don't take it too hard.
You can make friends with her next time.
Gab...
So lemme see your homework!
That's all you care about?! Do it yourself!
T-Tsukinose-senpai!
Um, I'm looking forward
to having tea with you.
Sheesh.
You didn't have a place to stay? Way to think ahead.
Thank you again, Tenma-senpai.
She might not be the angel I remember,
but I get to sleep with my beloved Tenma-senpai!
C'mon in. 'Scuse the mess.
No need to be so modest—
Hey, watch your step. You're starting to fall.
Anyhoo, make yourself at home.
This devil-may-care attitude...
That demon's hands are in every aspect of Senpai's life!
But I won't give up!
Hell yeah, item drop!
Potato Chips
Oh, come on. This is trash.
What are you doing?
Cleaning!
I'm bringing you back to cleanliness and godliness!
Stop making a mess!
And put away the snacks! You'll spoil your—
Tapris.
If you think that's going to rehabilitate me, think again.
Huh?
Because what you're doing now...
is something Vigne already tried!
Sweet! A rare monster!
Um, shouldn't we turn in for the night?
Why would I go to bed this early?
Hey! No kill stealing, jerkface!
I'll blow my trumpet, human scum!
Is the Tenma-senpai I remember truly gone for good?
It's morning?
Oh, no. When did I fall asleep?
What's this?
Tenma-senpai...
With the footfalls of an angel...
To: Tapris ♥
What's this?
Could it be something for me to take back to Heaven?
There's still hope.
One day, Tenma-senpai will be the angel she used to—
To: Tapris ♥
Burnable Garbage
What is this, Tenma-senpai?!
Oh, yeah. Figured you could take the trash out when you left.
Tenma-senpai...
Today...
isn't burnable garbage day!
That's what you're mad about?!
