Diabotany Battler
Battlers:
gatherings of like-minded demons who want to move up in the ranks.
Library Battler
Black Magic Battler
Basically, they are clubs.
Execution Cannonball Battler
Iruma was trying to decide which Battler to join.
A little more to the right.
Smoke, that side is sagging! Raise it up higher!
Yes, boss!
This is all because you don't train enough.
You won't be going home today until we're done decorating.
Yes, boss!
The president sure is pumped this year.
It's not surprising.
Asmodeus is someone every Battler would want.
Yeah.
There.
Happy Birthday
Decorations inspired by First Love Memories...
I wonder if Iruma will like them.
Don't forget to visit!
Oh, it's from Ameri-san.
Where are you right now?
Aren't you going to come see the student council?
Thank you very much for the invitation. I'll stop by later.
You'd better come.
So you're the student council president, Ameri-san?
I had no idea.
Oh, no!
Huh? What...
Well, that was a failure...
Huh?
You're...
Are you all right?
Yeah, I'm fine...
S-Senpai?!
Suzuki Iruma, age fourteen.
One day, he became the grandson of a demon called Sullivan.
Sold
Sullivan loves to spoil Iruma to bits and is even sending him to school.
But there is just one problem...
The school Iruma is attending is the demon school Babyls.
I need to make sure they don't find out I'm human...
Or I might get eaten!
The Magical Apparatus Battler
"The Magical Apparatus Battler."
He didn't know?!
I was under the impression he knew I was the student council president!
Did the fact that I'm the student council president scare him?
"I'm really sorry. Something came up and I won't be able to visit today."
So he is scared of me!
Magical Apparatus Battler
Amy Kiriwo
Sorry about this.
I messed up a bit trying to calibrate a magical apparatus.
Ah...
I guess I haven't introduced myself yet.
Amy Kiriwo
I'm Amy Kiriwo. Pleasure to meet you.
I'm Iruma. It's a pleasure to meet you, as well.
I'm sorry I can't even serve you some Hell Grey Tea.
I'm the only member of this Battler, you see.
Oh, it's fine. Please, get some rest.
That's a nice breeze.
So this is the Magical Apparatus Battler.
It's a mess, ain't it?
Have a look around, if you'd like.
Thank you.
I think you know this,
but magical apparatuses are items that function using magic.
Right.
I had no idea!
Just like the name suggests,
we study magical apparatuses from everywhere
and even make some ourselves.
You make them? Did you make that collar, too?
Er... This collar's a bit different.
Oh, I know.
This is a ball that shines when you store magic in it.
Huh...
Hup!
A-Are you okay?
Perfectly fine. This happens all the time.
All the time?
This is a doll that moves when you put magic into it.
Hup!
Wow! That's amazing!
I've reached... my limit...
Please don't push yourself too hard!
Well, since you came by and all, I wanted to show you a few things.
But I'm rather frail, and I don't have much magic.
I thought I was the only one worried about my lack of magic, since I'm human.
I guess that's not the case.
Not to mention, I blew up a magical apparatus prototype I was working on.
Oh, is that magical apparatus still okay?
Would you like to see it?!
Sure!
This is my prototype!
The magic enhancement apparatus, Gabuko-chan!
Gabu?
Just like its name suggests, it's supposed to enhance one's magic...
But it's rather difficult to use.
Huh...
Oh, are these parts, too? They look like puzzle pieces.
Yup. You can touch them, if you'd like.
Thanks!
That's the battery for its heart.
It's supposed to be in the shape of a heart,
but I can't seem to get the turbie's spin and the ancha's heat capacity to connect correctly.
I guess you wouldn't know what I'm babbling about, though.
No way!
Wow! It's perfectly put together!
You're amazing, Iruma-kun!
Thank—
Iruma-kun, have you ever made any magical apparatuses?
Huh? Um...
Hey, tell me all about—
Senpai?!
I got a bit too excited.
But you sure are talented, Iruma-kun.
Um, well... I've been building things ever since I was little.
Like fixing appliances I happened to pick up, or making my own light bulbs...
Lots of stuff.
I'm going to die if I can't fix this.
Appliances?
I'm not sure what those are, but it sure sounds like you've had it rough.
Um... Do you think you'll be able to use that?
Of course! Could you bring me that ball from earlier?
Sure.
This time, for sure...
It's shining!
Not yet.
It worked!
Wow! It's so pretty!
Yup. Gabuko-chan's an amazing machine.
Even if you don't have much magic,
it can draw out your magic to its limit.
It's really hard for anyone without much magic to survive in the netherworld.
Currently in the netherworld, as well as in this school,
rank is the most important thing.
It's very clear who's above who.
If possible,
I want to create magical apparatuses that'll allow weaker demons
to go head-to-head with stronger demons...
and help make this power gap disappear.
Make the power gap disappear...
Actually, if that's possible...
Well done.
Um, I think that's a great idea!
Well, I can't talk about it too loudly,
because I'm pretty sure it's the last thing high-ranked demons want to hear.
But Iruma-kun, you have plenty of magic, and you're so talented. You're just amazing.
You can probably choose whatever Battler you want.
Um, Kiriwo-senpai...
If I happened to have no magic, would you still let me join this Battler?
If you actually didn't have any magic...
We'd be exactly alike!
Even if you didn't have much magic,
I'd love to have someone as talented as you, Iruma-kun.
What this Battler needs isn't magic, but technique.
Iruma-chi!
Iruma-sama!
Iruma-chi!
Iruma-sama!
He got separated from us while we were at the school store.
Where could he have gone?
Iruma-sama!
There he is! Hey!
Iruma-chi!
Where have you been?
We've been looking for you!
Iruma-chi, did something good happen?
Yeah! Listen to this...
And then, the final day of the Battler trials...
I messed up again...
Are you okay?
Oh, Iruma-kun.
You came to visit again?
Were you interested in joining?
Just kidding.
Huh?
There's more of you?
When I mentioned that I was going to join, they also insisted on joining.
But of course! I will accompany you anywhere, Iruma-sama!
Is this a magical apparatus? Is it yummy?
Om nom nom nom nom.
So, yeah. It's a pleasure to work with you, Kiriwo-senpai.
New recruits... Three of them...
Three of them!
Kiriwo-senpai?!
Senpai!
He's smiling so much!
Iruma, Asmodeus, and Clara officially joined the Magical Apparatus Battler.
He's so weird.
Senpai?! Kiriwo-senpai!
Thus ends the Battler trial period.
Yes, it has ended.
I've never seen the president so depressed.
Well, Asmodeus never showed up.
So Iruma didn't show up after all...
Come in.
I'm so sorry I'm late.
I-Iruma!
Wh-What do you want?
The trial period is over.
You're right. I'm really sorry.
Honestly. What am I going to do with you?
I'll pour you some Hell Grey tea, so sit down.
Oh, thank you very much.
So this is the student council room...
Oh! This is from First Love Memories!
Yes...
To make any potential recruits feel more welcome.
What do you think?
I think it's really great!
I-I see.
I was really surprised when I found out you're the student council president, Ameri-san.
Being the student council president as just a second-year is amazing.
It's not a big deal.
I am just doing everything I need to do to fulfill my goal.
Goal?
And help make this power gap disappear.
My senpai in the Battler I joined is also working hard for his goal...
Huh?
You joined another Battler?!
But you said you'd join the student council!
Huh?! Uh, I'm pretty sure I didn't—
Y-You basically said you would! Explain yourself, Iruma!
Huh?!
After this, it took Iruma two hours to explain the situation to Ameri.
We'd be exactly alike
The Thirteen's Dinner
"The Thirteen's Dinner."
Battler Party?
It's a presentation held by Battlers. Really,
it's an introduction for all the new members.
It's a lively event with various forms of entertainment and shops.
Wow...
Above all, the parents of the first-years come to the Battler Party to observe.
It's a perfect opportunity for them to check up on their kids who just started school.
So it's basically like parents' day at school.
I see!
And all this is...
The chair-demon insisted on getting ready for it immediately.
I need uncut footage from all angles of Iruma-kun getting ready for the Battler Party!
Make sure you prepare everything!
So... where is Grandpa?
He just left.
He has a very important regularly scheduled meeting today.
Huh? Regularly scheduled meeting?
A meeting of the greatest heroes of the netherworld...
The Thirteen's Dinner.
Babel
665th Floor
Great Heroes Second-in-Command: Belzebuth
Now, let us begin our meeting.
All-Seer: Astaroh
Please wait a moment. It doesn't look like everyone's here yet.
Asmodeus and Glasya will be absent.
Lord of Seduction: Asmodeus
Dark Lord: Glasya
Lord of Four Corners: Amaymon
Again? Do they actually realize they're part of the Thirteen Crowns?
They had other matters to attend to.
Let us begin the meeting.
Glutton Lord: Behemolt
The biggest problem here is overhunting of food.
At this rate, we're going to die of starvation.
Uh, it wouldn't hurt for you to starve a little.
Money's not flowing like it should, either.
Too much illegal trading of goods going on.
Speaking of illegal,
there's been an increase in high-ranked demons coming through illegally.
Chief of Demon Border Control: Azazel Henri
This is a grave situation.
The east is getting pretty dangerous, too. Wouldn't you say so, girlie?
Principal Spirit: Paimon
I dunno what yer talkin' 'bout.
Y'all do somethin' 'bout it.
There's that annoying accent again.
What?!
What?
Because we've been without a Demon King for so long,
order in the netherworld is slowly crumbling.
We have Belial-sama, Sullivan-sama, and Lady Levi.
It's about time we make one of them Demon King
and have them take control of the netherworld.
I'm all for Belial-sama. He's super sharp.
No, it should be Levi-sama.
Her wisdom and leadership are far greater.
But you need to be conniving as a Demon King, too.
Nah, Sullivan-sama would be the one who heals us all.
It's true that Sullivan-sama is skilled...
But he's not a Yodh yet.
Besides, it's not healing that we need.
Nah, but it was mentioned in the Demon King Prophecy Scroll.
"He shall make one and all his servants.
He shall form blood pacts and heal all demonkind."
"He shall descend from a foreign realm
and wear the golden Ring of Solomon on his right hand."
You guys are all stupid.
Thunder Lord: Baal
After all that whining, you're just gonna rely on a prophecy?
It's not like these little ripples are going to have any effect on the netherworld.
You've got some nerve for a brat who barely shows up to these meetings.
Meetings? Don't you mean whining competitions, old man?
What?
Fine, if that's how you want it! Come at me!
Oh, shut up. What? You wanna start something?
Today's the day I'll finally teach you a lesson!
And there they go again.
They always gotta get so darn messy.
Pardon me, may I make a work call?
Oh, quit your endless yapping.
What? You wanna go?!
Yes, we should probably take a break.
Bring it on! What? You scared? Come at me!
I truly hope we can settle on a Demon King today...
666th Floor
The Three Greats: Belial
The Three Greats: Lady Levi
The Three Greats: Sullivan
Let's settle this once and for all.
Of course.
Let us begin.
My grandchild is the cutest!
Look at his wittle hands! Nothing could be cuter!
No, what determines the better grandchild is how proficient they are!
My grandchild is the best!
He may be smart, but his personality's twisted!
You're the last person I want to hear talk about a twisted personality!
Okay, you get to be the judge today as usual, Sully.
Sully?
I'm not the same demon I used to be.
Behold! I have a grandchild now, too!
Wh-What?!
W-Wait a second!
You don't even have a child! How do you have a grandchild?
How did you skip over that and get a grandchild?
What happened in between there?!
Oh, I used a little lifehack.
Oh, he's a cutie.
I know, right?! Isn't he the cutest?
But he doesn't look at all like you.
You didn't kidnap him, did you?
No comment.
But now we don't have a judge.
Should we summon Little Bel?
But...
Bring it on! I'll take you on!
I told you all to shut up!
They seem pretty busy.
I'm sure they're just arguing about the absence of the Demon King again.
What?! You scared?!
They sure are lively.
Well? Should we decide on a Demon King, then?
If we're gonna decide with cards, sure.
No way! You always cheat, Beli-yan!
Oh, who cares how you decide? Just decide already.
Hey, why'd you weasel your way out of this decision?
Well, age holds superiority in these matters, doesn't it?
As a youth, I humbly remove myself from this decision.
What?! Youth, my ass!
You're as old as us, you hag!
How much are you wasting on that skin, you fake old hag?!
Men should be in charge of such matters.
It's quite audacious of you to force the position of Demon King upon me
when I'm two years younger.
Two years?
My choice would be you, Sully.
What?
You're more than skilled enough.
Quit holding back and become a Yodh already.
I'd feel at ease if you were the boss, too, Sully.
What do you say, Sully?
I have a grandson for the first time, and I'm spoiling the hell out of him.
I take my eye off him for a second, and he's grown so much.
Truly...
It's so much fun watching kids grow up.
I have no intention of giving up being the chair-demon.
I see.
I guess it would be harder now that you have a grandson.
The Demon King's going to remain absent for now. Let's wrap this up.
Yay!
Okay, I'm going back to my beloved Iruma-kun!
Come in.
Please forgive our intrusion.
Henri-kun.
Sullivan-sama, thank you for looking after my daughter at school.
Oh, it's nothing.
However...
However?
You've been accused of illegally crossing into the human world.
Please accompany me to the station.
Oho, is that actually a warrant?
It is, sir. It's a warrant.
Why, though?
The hell is Sully doing?
Opera-san! Dinner's really delicious today!
Thank you very much.
Oh, no! Oh, no! Iruma-kun!
Su
Ki
Sukima!
Ma
A-Are you all right, President?
Iruma didn't join the student council.
This just means we'll have to go on more dates.
Ameri considers the reading sessions she has with Iruma to be "dates"...
Go on more dates?!
But the other four student council members think dates are important patrol duty.
Patrol!
They all seem more gung-ho than usual.
Nothing suspicious!
The student council's patrols became much stricter for a while.
Next Episode Preview
Good grief.
What kind of trouble has the chair-demon gotten himself into now?
He brought a human to the netherworld and made him his grandchild.
Then he enrolled that human at school as an honor student.
Yes, I'd say he's rather guilty.
Next time on Welcome to Demon School! Iruma-kun,
"The Battlers' Presentation."
Will the chair-demon be able to return in time for the Battler Party
to witness Iruma-sama's bravery?
Please look forward to it.
