Does it hurt?
Since you've taught me so much, Seiji-kyun,
I'll give you lots of delicious pain as a special service.
So I want you to tell me
what it is about Akane-tan that got your attention.
Wh-Who the hell are you?!
Well, you see, I'm Akane-tan and Yuzu-chin's—
She's my cousin!
Love Tyrant
What Is Love? x Kami Is Prostrating Himself Now lolol
A-Akane-san!
Don't misunderstand! This is...
Shikimi...
You're angry! So angry!
You're so adorable, Akane-tan!
Shut up!
You always...
set your sights on...
other people's things!
And then you try to steal them!
Have you forgotten?
Stealing things from people is what I do.
Where have you been keeping all these?
You really like knives, don't you, Akane-tan?
But you know—
I told you to be quiet.
Th... Th...
That feels so good!
Oh, my! I've been hurt by Akane-tan!
Wh-What's her deal?
Now, then...
To return the favor!
Akane-san!
You know, you seem to have gotten weaker, Akane-tan.
You used to dodge my threads easily,
and you would cut me all to pieces.
Your body seems to be the only thing that's matured!
Amazing.
They've gotten so big, Akane-tan.
I always wanted to torment you lots, but if you broke, it would be such a waste.
So I've been holding back for so long.
But now I hear you've become immortal?
Then that means I'm free to torment you all I want, right?
Pervert.
Aren't I, though?
I'm a total pervert.
But you look so much more adorable when you're really, really angry.
You know, don't you?
That I love to steal things from people.
But what I love even more...
is breaking those precious things in front of them!
O-Onee-sama!
Yuzu-chan?!
Please don't do terrible things to Onee-sama!
You're trembling.
How cute.
You're still afraid of me, aren't you, Yuzu-chin?
P-Please stay back!
How surprising.
You've gotten much better at controlling your abilities.
You've gotten stronger, Yuzu-chin.
Especially compared to some who have gotten disappointingly weaker.
It's pretty uncool being a weapon princess who needs a shield's protection, Akane-tan.
Akane-san! Yuzu-chan!
Seiji-kun!
Seiji-san!
Oh, my. You got loose, huh?
I wasn't quite done, though.
N-No, this is...
What's the matter, Yuzu-chin?
I thought you were devoted to Akane-tan.
Shikimi.
If you lay a hand on Seiji-kun, I'll kill you.
I'm looking forward to that!
Wh-Why do you hurt each other if you're cousins? That's just...
Do you not know anything?
Huh?
You're going out with Akane-tan and Yuzu-chin without knowing anything?
A-About what?
No way! I'm impressed you're still with them, then!
You see, we're—
Don't say it!
Why not?
I don't want Seiji-kun to hate me over something like that!
Huh?!
What is that? What's that look on your face?
No, no! You're not like that at all, Akane!
What's with that normal girl expression?!
How disgusting!
It's ugly! Ugly! Totally ugly!
This sissy Akane isn't cute at all!
Ugh!
You actually showed up, and now this! Nothing could be worse!
I got it...
Wait just a minute.
I'll turn you back to normal, Akane-tan.
My, my! So this is where you all were?
Shrimp
I won this costume in a lottery at the shopping district!
Huh? Was my big entrance a flop?
Guri!
What's this? Were you having a party with a bunch of girls?
What part of any of this looks like that?!
Seiji-san, you're hurt—
Guri-chan!
Who are you?
Oh, come, now! I'm Shikimi!
Shikimi-san?
Here it is!
It really is you, Shikimi-san!
I didn't recognize you at all!
Right? I'm really good at disguises!
I'm sorry for going on without you.
But I just had to surprise my cousins, Yuzu-chin and Akane-tan.
Oh! So they're your cousins!
Anyway, Guri-chan, there's a little something I want to ask you.
Guri! Don't talk to her!
Oh, the Love Phone!
I found it when you dropped it!
To tell the truth, I stole it back then.
How do you make a couple with this?
An angel like me has to do it, or it won't work.
Oh, so that's how.
Does that mean you found out the identity of the person you like?
That's right!
The person that I like is,
surprisingly, Seiji-kyun!
Oh! How surprising!
And I also love Akane-tan and Yuzu-chin, too!
So I want to be included in the coupling you made.
No! If you say something like that to Guri, she'll...
Yay! Let's add you to the harem, then!
She'll totally accept it!
Please, Guri-chan!
We're friends, aren't we? Add me, too.
She's pushing harder!
Guri!
Please, Guri-cha—
I can't.
Why not?
You don't have any love.
Huh?
What? I said I loved all of them, didn't I?
Just what do you consider "love," then?
I don't even know that well myself,
but the love that Akane-san and Yuzu-san have feels full of warmth.
But you...
are empty.
I see. So you can't...
Then you leave me no choice.
Give me just a minute.
No problem!
Hello, it's Shikimi-chan.
Oh, Akane-tan's mom?
Yes, that's right. Huh? Akane?
No, I haven't seen her yet.
What? No way! I don't want to go!
Fine.
Akane-tan's Mom
Sorry, I have to call a time out!
I wanted to play a bit more, but I've been summoned back.
But one day, I'll see to it that you let me in the circle, too.
And then I'll steal Seiji-kyun and everything else from you, Akane-tan and Yuzu-chin.
Glare all you like, but in the state you're in, it's not scary at all.
Hey, Akane-tan, try not to disappoint me too much, okay?
You're my favorite toy, after all.
Yuzu-chin, you just keep getting stronger.
All right, I'll see you all again soon!
What is love?
Seiji-kun, are you okay?
I-I'm fine. Just a little unsteady.
I'm sorry, Seiji-kun, for getting you mixed up in this.
I'm fine.
It was a little scary, but it seems like there's some complicated stuff going on.
It's not your fault, Akane-san.
Seiji-kun...
Ta-da!
Amazing!
Little monkey...
Huh?
Thank you for turning down her request.
Take 2!
Why?
You were sweet toward me! I must save this priceless moment!
You are so annoying!
Seiji-kun, you know, I...
Seiji-kun?
Now, now, let me take a look at him.
Why are you silent all of a sudden?
Wh-What's the matter?
He's not breathing.
Welcome, dead people, to Heaven!
Nope.
I couldn't understand this if I wanted to!
What the hell is this sparkly, fluffy atmosphere?!
And this!
These stereotypical items...
Do they mean I'm really dead?
That's right, Aino-san.
That voice! Is it you, Coraly-sa—
You're surprised, aren't you?
That's right, this is my true form.
I am such a sinful angel, to be so dangerously beautiful to humans.
Close enough.
O-Oh, yeah! What the heck is going on here?
I was just with Guri and the others.
Wasn't I supposed to be immortal?!
I will be sure to explain all of that and more,
but for now, we need to hurry to Kami's room.
Kami's room?
This is Kami's room.
A sliding door?
Now, please go inside.
This isn't just an empty—
A living room?!
Oh, please take off your shoes.
P-Pardon the intrusion.
Huh? Kami-sama was just here a moment ago.
Who exactly is Kami-sama?
Goodness! What in the world are you doing, Kami-sama?
What?! This old guy is Kami?!
Calling him an old guy is rude!
Ouch...
Well, I thought it'd be funny to have Kami-sama stuck to the ceiling.
For heaven's sake!
So we finally meet, Seiji-kun!
Wha... K-Kami-sama?
Come on, that's so distant!
Please call me "Dad"!
Oh, you see, this person is actually—
Yes! You see, I'm Guri-chan's daddy!
What?!
Seiji-kun!
Seiji-kun, wake up!
Seiji-kun! Please!
It can't be... Did his cold get worse?
Seiji-kun, please, wake up!
I-Is it my fault?
Wait for me, Seiji-kun! I'll be joining you soon!
O-Onee-sama!
Please wait!
Why don't we try that one thing?
What?
I'll do anything to bring Seiji-kun back to life!
A kiss from their beloved!
True love's kiss, which wakes the sleeping princess.
So I just have to kiss him?
So fast!
Smoooooooooch
It's not bringing him back at all!
Well, yeah. Even someone living will die if you kiss them for 15 minutes.
Then you should have stopped me!
Even though Onee-sama kissed him right in front of me,
why am I only worried about him?
I'll go next, then!
Do it and I'll kill you!
Then are you okay with things as they are?
F-Fine.
I'll turn around, so hurry up and get it over with.
Okay! Then here I go—
My body moved on its own!
Video
You have no love.
Look at her face! Isn't it utterly adorable?
Isn't she just a total angel?
Uh-huh...
When Guri-chan makes that rare serious face, I just can't handle it.
This old guy is Kami?
And he's Guri's father?
Wassup? Been a while.
Tiara-san?!
Wh-What are you doing here?
Why, you ask? This is Heaven, after all.
Tiara-chan, I want sake!
Shut up! Drink this.
Do not speak so rudely to Kami!
I wonder what it is. I know I'm in a really incredible place,
but I don't feel nervous at all.
That reminds me...
Oh, look, look! It's Country Pappy!
Kami-sama, if you're Guri's father, does she also have a mother?
Oh, boy. He said it.
Aino-san, you're awful.
Um, did I bring up something painful?
No, she just ran away because the old man cheated on her,
but he gets totally mopey when anyone mentions it.
I didn't cheat on her. I just like everyone.
Kami... cheated?
Anyway, there's a reason you came here.
R-Right.
Kami said he wanted to talk to you in person, so he had you die for now.
Go on, talk to him.
Ow...
Well, you see, Seiji-kun...
Y-Yes?
What would you say if I said Guri will become the next Kami?
Guri will be Kami?
Yay!
I'd be against it, for the sake of all humanity.
You're awful!
But it's a hereditary system.
It's already been decided?! What a disaster!
If even this irresponsible old man could do it,
I'm sure Guri will be fine.
How mean, Tiara-chan.
But there's something important that must happen for her to become Kami.
That's what I wanted to ask of you today, Seiji-kun.
A request?
I want you to teach her about love.
L-Love?
The most important thing one needs in order to become Kami is to know love.
The old man is a high-pressure love salesman.
I had her work as a cupid for that reason,
but she spends half her time just playing around.
Playing is all she does.
But something's changed since she met you.
I will be happy as her father
if she has a chance to grow,
even if it's with a normal human.
She still doesn't understand love very well,
but please take care of my daughter.
W-Wait just a—
Please don't prostrate yourself before a human!
If someone were to see you...
Kami is prostrating himself now.
Stop it!
What? But Kami is prostrating himself now!
But this is so sudden...
You're so troublesome, Kami-sama.
It's foolish to expect your child
to become Kami if she needs a human to teach her about love.
Hi. I'm here.
Wh-Who is that?
I'm not anyone special.
Very Maoh
Well, you can just call me "Maoh-san."
M-Maoh?
So you're Guri-chan's boyfriend?
You're not a particularly special human, are you?
I'm sure it must be troublesome for you, too.
Just turn them down.
Don't you want to make your life easier?
Don't be an idiot! Seiji-kun will never be tempted by your words!
You're just after Guri-chan!
I guess that's true.
I want Guri-chan to fall to Hell and transfer to a career as a demon.
I mean, Guri-chan is just so cute, isn't she?
Such a tricky and interesting girl would be hugely popular in Hell!
With her on the throne, the number of new demons would increase for sure!
The freedom of a demon to do as many naughty things as she pleases
suits her much better than being an angel.
Don't you think?
I don't!
Guri-chan shines because she's an angel!
Keep talking like that, and I'll get angry!
Oh? Shall we start Armageddon, then?
Um... I don't think Guri wants to do either thing, though.
She would lose interest after one day.
Her priority in life is to always do what she wants.
She's not the type to listen to others.
I'm sorry for saying something so rude!
No, you're exactly right, Seiji-kun.
That girl is a free spirit. I forgot that, even though I'm her father.
Well, I'm not saying this all has to happen right now, anyway.
I'm glad you're a kind human who's genuinely looking out for Guri-chan.
Ah, it's about time for you to go.
If you stay too long, you won't be able to go back.
What?!
I'm sorry this was all so sudden.
I really wanted to meet you, since you're Guri's first love!
I was curious to know what kind of person you were, as Kami and as a parent.
R-Right...
Also, you can rest assured that neither I nor he will interfere with you directly.
Well, I can't do anything for now, anyway.
So you can continue carrying on with the girls and your youth as you wish!
But don't do anything perverted.
Bye-bye, Seiji-kun! Take care of Guri!
That's asking too much...
I'm just trying to kiss Seiji-san so I can save him!
I know, but it still frustrates me!
What's so funny?
Nothing! You just seem to finally be back to the old Akane-san.
Huh?
You seemed down because of what happened with Shikimi-san.
After all, thanking me isn't like you, Akane-san.
Don't say such impertinent things!
Just who seemed down?!
B-Both of you, this is not the time....
W-Waking up because of a kiss?
That kind of thing only happens in fairy tales!
But if that can really bring him back to life...
Th-There's no deeper meaning to this.
I actually really hate him.
It's just compensation.
And above all, for my pride.
If I do it just a little, it shouldn't be special.
Seiji-kun!
S-Sorry, Yuzu-chan.
I-It's fine.
Seiji-kun!
I'm so glad!
I really thought you died! I didn't know what to do!
A-Akane-san, I'm going to die again!
Welcome back, Seiji-san.
Ugh, gruesome!
You revived safely.
I don't know how you aren't dead!
How was Heaven?
How did you know?
I realized when you died that you were over there.
How is my father doing?
Why didn't you say anything all this time?
About yourself, or your father!
But I have utterly no interest in things over there.
It would be boring to talk about.
Whether it interests you isn't the problem!
Speaking of, stupid monkey!
There was no point in kissing him at all, was there?!
Well, Seiji-san has returned safely, and Akane-san is back to normal again.
So it all worked out, didn't it?
Can I really teach this girl about love?
Right?

Guri, should we all go to the beach?
No, I want to play my games at home!
Oh, my, Yuzu-san...
Just imagining Onee-sama in a swimsuit is making me drool...
