SIGN    Makubari Dome
[00:10] Chant
    Kuromu! Kuromu! Kuromu! Kuromu!
[00:19] Kuromu
    Okay...
[00:20] Kuromu
    Let's do this, Kuromu.
[00:32] Kuromu
    Hey, guys! How are you all doing?
[00:35] Kuromu
    We're going to have a blast
    at this concert tonight!
[00:39] Crowd
    Kuromu-chan!
SIGN    Dem-dol Kuromu-chan!
[02:16] All
    "Dem-dol Kuromu-chan!"
[02:21] Clara
    Extra! Extra!
[02:24] Iruma
    What's up?
[02:26] Asmodeus
    Have a look!
[02:28] Asmodeus
    It's a special issue commemorating
    your promotion, Iruma-sama!
[02:31] Iruma
    What?!
[02:32] Iruma
    Th-This is...
[02:35] Iruma
    That's right. Someone did take my picture.
[02:37] Clara
    Here! Have one! Have another one!
[02:40] Asmodeus
    Why not take one home as
    a gift to the chair-demon?
[02:44] Iruma
    Huh? Uh, thanks...
[02:46] Iruma
    But I'm pretty sure he
    has a copy, so it's okay.
[02:48] Lead
    Wow.
[02:50] Lead
    You were really amazing, Iruma-kun.
[02:52] Lead
    Your article's bigger than
    the segment on Kuromu-chan.
[02:54] Iruma
    Kuromu-chan?
[02:57] Lead
    Wait, you don't know
    who Kuromu-chan is?!
[03:00] Lead
    Look at the article right under yours.
[03:01] Lead
    "The Dem-dol Kuromu-chan Holds
    Her Day-to-Night Concert!
[03:05] Lead
    Her First Concert at Makubari Dome."
[03:08] Iruma
    Dem... dol?
[03:10] Lead
    Wait, I have to explain from there?
[03:12] Asmodeus
    It cannot be helped!
[03:14] Asmodeus
    Iruma-sama has been sheltered by the
    chair-demon ever since he was young,
[03:18] Asmodeus
    so he doesn't know all the ways
    of the world! Catch a clue!
[03:21] Iruma
    Oh... So that's how he rationalizes this.
[03:24] Asmodeus
    So, the origin of "dem-dol"...
[03:27] Asmodeus
    is "take evil."
SIGN    Take Evil
[03:29] Asmodeus
    It is a very important
    role in demon society.
SIGN    Take Evil
[03:36] Asmodeus
    Demons have a stress period in which they
    want to do violent or sadistic things.
[03:41] Asmodeus
    We call this the evil cycle.
SIGN    Evil Cycle
[03:46] Demon
    I wanna do something bad!
[03:48] Asmodeus
    In order to keep that evil cycle in check,
[03:50] Asmodeus
    there are many forms of
    entertainment in the netherworld.
[03:54] Asmodeus
    Basically, we play sports or video
    games to instantly relieve our stress.
[04:00] Demon
    Ah, I feel so much better!
[04:02] Asmodeus
    Dem-dols are one of those
    forms of entertainment.
[04:05] Asmodeus
    By gathering many demons into one
    venue and holding a performance,
[04:09] Asmodeus
    they turn those evil
    thoughts into excitement
[04:11] Asmodeus
    and relieve their stress.
[04:22] Asmodeus
    As such, popular dem-dols receive
    a warm reception in the netherworld.
[04:27] Iruma
    Huh...
[04:29] Lead
    And among them all, Kuromu-chan
    is our hope for the future!
[04:32] Lead
    Her performance is great, her singing
    is great, and... she's cute!
[04:35] Lead
    That's the most important!
[04:37] Kuromu
    Demons should never let their guard down
[04:39] Lead
    Look! See? Isn't she amazing?
[04:41] Goemon
    Cutie.
[04:42] Camuy
    Cutest!
[04:43] Iruma
    More of them?!
[04:44] Lead
    Her Day-to-Night Concert is today!
[04:48] Iruma
    Huh...
[04:49] Kuromu
    The noon performance is just
    about to start at Makubari Dome!
[04:52] Kuromu
    It'll be streamed live, too,
    so look forward to it.
[04:56] Kuromu
    I'll be waiting for you!
[04:57] Boys
    So cute!
[04:59] Goemon
    She's so devi cute!
[05:01] Camuy
    I try to get into her concerts all the time!
[05:03] Lead
    The fact that the magnification power
    is 666 is too much! I devi want to go!
[05:08] Jazz
    Her tickets sell out instantly
    whenever they go on sale.
[05:11] Jazz
    They're sold via lottery, and you
    can meet Kuromu-chan in person.
[05:15] Iruma
    Huh...
[05:17] Camuy
    Sometimes there's a meet-and-grate
     after the concert!
SIGN    Meet-and-Greet
[05:21] Iruma
    You mean a meet-and-greet?
SIGN    Meet-and-Greet
[05:22] Camuy
    No! It's written like this! Meet-and-grate!
SIGN    Meet-and-Grate
[05:30] Camuy
    It's a dream-like event where
[05:32] Camuy
    we can grate away our stress just
    by holding Kuromu-chan's hand!
[05:38] Kuromu
    Hello.
[05:40] Demon
    H-Hey.
[05:45] Kuromu
    Thank you for always supporting me.
[05:47] Kuromu
    I'm so deeply moved! Devi!
[05:50] Lead
    Yeah! And she's famous for
    her cuticle interactions!
SIGN    Cute Interactions
[05:55] Iruma
    Cute interactions?
SIGN    Cuticle Interactions
[05:57] Lead
    Cuticle interactions!
[06:02] Kuromu
    If you don't come see me again,
    I'll curse you. Got it?
[06:07] Goemon
    So cute!
[06:08] Goemon
    Devi cute!
[06:09] Camuy
    I want to see her play
    with her hair again!
[06:11] Iruma
    Oh, so it is "cuticle"...
[06:16] Baraki
    Iruma-kun from the Misfit Class. Iruma-kun.
[06:20] Baraki
    Please come to the broadcast
    room immediately.
[06:22] Baraki
    I repeat. Iruma-kun from the
    Misfit Class. Iruma-kun.
[06:25] Iruma
    I wonder what's up.
[06:26] Asmodeus
    I wonder.
[06:27] Baraki
    Please co—
[06:28] Iruma
    I'll be right back.
[06:30] Clara
    Me, too! Me, too!
[06:31] Asmodeus
    I shall accompany you, as well.
[06:33] All
    See ya!
[06:35] Kuromu
    Please look forward to the upcoming
    live stream of the Makubari Dome concert!
[06:40] Lead
    She's so devi cute!
[06:41] Lead
    Let's listen to her new song together!
[06:43] Jazz
    I'll let you borrow some
     good speakers... for a price.
[06:45] Lead
    Really?
[06:46] Camuy
    Let's watch her live stream.
[06:48] Goemon
    Agreed!
[06:49] Kuromu
    I hope you guys watch! Devi, devi!
[06:52] Kurotsuno
    And we're good!
[06:54] Both
    Great job!
[06:56] Kurotsuno
    You did great, Kuromu-chan!
[06:58] Shirotsuno
    You were perfect.
[06:59] Kuromu
    Thank you.
[07:00] Mal
    Here you go.
[07:03] Kuromu
    Thank you.
[07:04] Kurotsuno
    You know, you sure have guts, Kuromu-chan.
[07:08] Kurotsuno
    Makubari Dome is one of the biggest
    venues in the netherworld.
[07:13] Kurotsuno
    It's a holy land where legendary
    concerts have been held.
[07:17] Shirotsuno
    You gonna be okay?
[07:18] Shirotsuno
    Are you nervous?
[07:20] Kuromu
    I'm totally fine!
[07:21] Kuromu
    I'll give my all to my first dome show!
[07:27] Both
    So cute! So cute!
[07:30] Rando
    Cutie!
[07:31] Rando 2
    Cutest!
[07:32] Kuromu
    I look forward to working with
    you for the rest of today.
[07:35] Kuromu
    Now, if you'll excuse me.
[07:54] Keroli
    There we go.
[08:01] Keroli
    I got too loose during the morning show.
[08:04] Keroli
    This is the most relaxing look for me.
[08:07] Keroli
    I mean, this is how I am at school, too.
[08:10] Keroli
    And...
[08:14] Keroli
    Look at this exposed skin!
[08:19] Keroli
    I'm still not used to this!
[08:22] Kuromu
    I'll be waiting for you!
[08:23] Keroli
    That pose might've been too calculated!
[08:26] Keroli
    I'm so embarrassed! I'm so embarrassed!
[08:28] Keroli
    Maybe I should look
    into posing a bit more.
[08:31] Keroli
    I do still have the noon
    and night shows coming up.
[08:35] Keroli
    Actually, maybe I need
    a more calculated pose.
[08:43] Keroli
    I'm Kuromu-chan, devi!
    Everyone's dem-dol!
[08:46] Keroli
    I'll shoot you right through
    the heart with my impish beam!
[08:51] Keroli
    Make all the bad feelings... fly away!
[08:56] Keroli
    Look at that exposed skin!
[08:59] Keroli
    My brain's gonna melt!
[09:02] Keroli
    This is way too calculated!
    Why do I keep saying "devi"?
[09:05] Keroli
    I can't, I can't, I can't,
    I can't, I can't, I can't!
[09:10] Keroli
    But I have to do my best...
[09:13] Keroli
    My job is to be a dem-dol...
[09:16] Keroli
    I mean... I mean...
[09:18] Keroli
    I'm so damn cute, after all!
SIGN    Magic Test  Let's work harder
[09:37] (Flashback) Keroli Mom
    Yes, good job.
SIGN    Magic Test  Good job
[09:40] (Flashback) Keroli Mom
    Here you go. You worked really hard.
[09:42] (Flashback) Keroli Mom
    You did better than last time.
[09:44] Keroli
    I never stood a chance
    against my siblings at home.
[09:48] Keroli
    My siblings always got a "good job,"
[09:51] Keroli
    but since my magic is normal
    and I'm so awkward...
SIGN    Magic Test  Let's work harder
[09:54] Keroli
    I only get "let's work harder."
[10:00] Keroli
    I wanted to get back at them.
[10:04] Keroli
    And that was when I realized...
[10:12] Keroli
    Sound seemed to disappear
    whenever I walked,
[10:15] Keroli
    because everyone would stop walking
    and look in awe when I passed by.
[10:20] Keroli
    I didn't even need to say anything.
    Everyone would prioritize me.
[10:27] Keroli
    Even if I messed up, even if I was weak...
[10:30] Keroli
    No one made fun of me.
    They were actually nice to me.
[10:33] (Flashback) Demon
    Move it!
[10:41] (Flashback) Keroli
    I-I'm sorry...
[10:48] Keroli
    I have the ability to counter malice.
[10:52] Keroli
    I realized then...
[10:56] Keroli
    that being cute can defeat violence!
[11:01] Keroli
    That's why I chose to be a dem-dol,
    where being cute matters,
[11:05] Keroli
    to get back at my family!
[11:10] Keroli
    Even though it's embarrassing,
    I'm still doing my best.
[11:15] Keroli
    And yet...
[11:17] Keroli
    And yet, somehow...
[11:20] Keroli
    Why the heck are you standing
    out more than me, Iruma?!
[11:23] Keroli
    I-ru-ma!
[11:27] Keroli
    The ad for my concert,
     the announcement of my new song...
[11:30] Keroli
    You keep taking the front-page
    headline from me!
[11:34] Keroli
    The school paper has to
    put the students first...
[11:39] Keroli
    But there's never been anyone who
    got the front page over my cuteness.
[11:45] Keroli
    But if everyone knew I
    was a student at Babyls,
[11:49] Keroli
    I'd take the front page for sure!
[11:51] Keroli
    I'm...
[11:52] Keroli
    I'm...
[11:56] Mal
    Kuromu...
[11:58] Keroli
    I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm...
[11:58] Mal
    What do you think you're doing?!
[12:02] Mal
    I told you not to use ice,
    or they'll figure out who you are!
[12:06] Keroli
    Mal-san! I'm so sorry!
SIGN    Manager Mal-san
[12:07] Mal
    Come on. Your noon show is about to start.
[12:10] Mal
    Get ready!
[12:12] Keroli
    Y-Yes, ma'am!
[12:14] Keroli
    Get a grip, Keroli.
[12:15] Keroli
    Today's concert is really important.
[12:26] Keroli
    I keep myself at the lowest rank
    at school so I wouldn't stand out.
[12:30] Keroli
    After I graduate, I'm going
    to expand my horizons
[12:34] Keroli
    and rise immediately to Het rank.
    That would exceed my mother's rank of Zayin.
[12:39] Keroli
    That's my goal.
[12:41] Keroli
    Who cares about Iruma?
[12:43] Keroli
    I can't let him get to me!
[12:48] Keroli
    How are you guys doing?
[12:52] Keroli
    Yes. I'm going to...
[12:55] Keroli
    stand at the top of the dem-dol world!
[12:57] Keroli
    Hey, guys! Let's blow the roof off this place!
[13:05] Keroli
    Demons should never let their guard down
[13:07] Keroli
    One day, you'll get your heart stolen!
[13:11] Keroli
    Squee!
[13:12] Keroli
    That cutie over there is a little imp
[13:17] Keroli
    Want to touch my hair?
[13:20] Keroli
    Let's have a thrilling escape!
[13:23] Keroli
    Want to talk to me?
[13:25] Keroli
    Want to touch me?
[13:26] Keroli
    If you insist, I'll play with you
[13:31] Keroli
    Do you love me?
[13:32] Keroli
    Well, try to see through me
[13:36] Keroli
    Can you give up your soul for me?
[13:41] Keroli
    Little imp, little imp
[13:44] Keroli
    I'll be the little imp
    that drags you around
[13:56] Keroli
    You're all great!
[14:01] Keroli
    Iruma!
[14:03] Keroli
    Why the heck are you here?!
SIGN    Yes,  I'm cute
[14:15] Keroli
    Why the heck are you here?!
[14:19] Nar
    A few hours earlier, Iruma and the others were
[14:22] Nar
    summoned by the Broadcasting
    Battler president, Bathin Baraki.
[14:26] (Flashback) Baraki
    Oh, good. All three of you showed up.
[14:29] (Flashback) Baraki
    These are for you.
[14:33] (Flashback) Iruma
    Wait... These are concert
    tickets for Kuromu-chan,
[14:35] (Flashback) Iruma
    who I was just told is super popular...
[14:38] (Flashback) Baraki
    My family is friends with one of the sponsors,
[14:40] (Flashback) Baraki
    so we managed to get them somehow.
[14:42] (Flashback) Iruma
    Oh...
[14:44] (Flashback) Baraki
    But after I said we won the
     Grand Prize at the Battler Party,
[14:48] (Flashback) Baraki
    they said we could help
    with the concert itself!
[14:52] (Flashback) Baraki
    I'm so honored!
[14:55] (Flashback) Baraki
    Thanks.
[14:56] (Flashback) Baraki
    Meaning the leftover tickets
    might've gone to waste.
[15:00] (Flashback) Baraki
    No one would've been surprised
    if you got the Grand Prize,
[15:03] (Flashback) Baraki
    so this is our way to make amends. Okay?
[15:07] (Flashback) Iruma
    Thank you!
[15:10] (Flashback) Ann
    Please make sure you don't 
    forget anything when leaving.
[15:15] (Flashback) Asmodeus
    Dem-dols are rather enjoyable.
[15:15] Clara
    So devi devi cute, Kuromu!
[15:18] (Flashback) Iruma
    Yeah.
[15:18] (Flashback) Clara
    I'm not done cheering yet!
[15:22] (Flashback) Iruma
    Okay, let's go thank
    Baraki-san and head back.
[15:25] (Flashback) Shiro
    Um, are you Iruma-sama?
[15:28] (Flashback) Iruma
    Huh?
[15:29] (Flashback) Iruma
    Yes... I am.
[15:31] (Flashback) Both
    Congratulations!
[15:34] (Flashback) Iruma
    What? Just me?
[15:38] Iruma
    So that's what happened,
    and we ended up at the concert.
[15:42] Iruma
    I didn't think I'd win a ticket
    to meet you in person, as well.
[15:49] Keroli
    Y-You must be very lucky.
[15:52] Keroli
    Wh-Why Iruma, of all people?
[15:56] Iruma
    Yeah, I was really surprised.
[15:59] Iruma
    I've never been patted
    down five times before.
[16:02] Keroli
    Wow, really?
[16:06] Keroli
    I-I'm so mad...
[16:09] Keroli
    Did he just brag about being popular?
[16:11] Keroli
    Do his upperclassmen like him, too?
[16:19] Keroli
    So at school... He really is...
[16:25] Keroli
    more popular than me?
[16:31] Iruma
    So cold!
[16:34] Keroli
    Er, uh... The climate control's broken in here.
[16:38] Iruma
    I-Is that so?
[16:42] Keroli
    That was close.
[16:44] Keroli
    There'd be a lot of panic if
    he found out I'm his classmate.
[16:51] Iruma
    So, Kuromu-san,
[16:53] Iruma
    you're working as a dem-dol
    while still going to school, right?
[16:56] Keroli
    Y-Yes...
[16:58] Iruma
    That's amazing, especially
    considering how hard your job is.
[17:01] Keroli
    R-Right...
[17:03] Keroli
    Of course it is! I'm super popular!
[17:07] Keroli
    I have a TV program shoot
    early in the morning,
[17:09] Keroli
    then after recording my songs
    or even in between classes,
[17:11] Keroli
    I have dance lessons, piano lessons,
     and voice training.
[17:15] Keroli
    After school, I have magazine interviews.
[17:17] Keroli
    Then there are rehearsals
    and meetings for my concerts...
[17:20] Keroli
    Plus, I have homework,
    memorizing my new songs,
[17:22] Keroli
    replying to fan letters, practicing my
     autograph, taking care of my skin...
[17:25] Iruma
    You have to do all that?
[17:26] Iruma
    Wow! I'm getting dizzy just hearing about it!
[17:28] Keroli
    Right? That's what you call a pro...
[17:30] Iruma
    And you go to school, too...
[17:33] Keroli
    Nothing that important is written in there!
[17:35] Keroli
    Crap! I just bragged about how popular I am.
[17:38] Keroli
    My class schedule is written in here!
    How could I have done that?
[17:42] Keroli
    Doesn't look like he figured... it...
[17:45] Keroli
    out?!
[17:53] Keroli
    Iruma-kun, would you like some tea?
[17:55] Iruma
    Huh? How did you know my name?
[17:57] Keroli
    Asdfjajdfaik!
SIGN    Iruberto von Malkundooff Tea!
[17:59] Keroli
    Iruberto von Malkundooff tea!
[18:02] Keroli
    Also known as Iruma tea!
     Would you like some?
[18:04] Iruma
    Iru... er...
[18:06] Iruma
    Hey, how about I make the tea?
[18:09] Keroli
    There's no need! I'll do it myself!
[18:12] Iruma
    Um—
[18:13] Keroli
    Stay out!
[18:14] Iruma
    Stay out?
[18:15] Keroli
    Yes, just stay out!
[18:16] Iruma
    No, really, I'll do it!
[18:22] Iruma
    Um... I should get going now.
[18:27] Keroli
    Sure.
[18:29] Keroli
    Somehow he didn't figure it out!
[18:31] Keroli
    That was way too close...
[18:33] Iruma
    Okay, well, see you at school.
[18:35] Keroli
    Sure. See you.
[18:40] Keroli
    Hold on a sec.
[18:44] Iruma
    I-I-It's cold...
[18:47] Keroli
    I can't believe it...
[18:49] Keroli
    I worked so hard...
[18:52] Keroli
    He found out instantly!
[18:53] Keroli
    If people find out who I am,
    there'll be a huge panic,
[18:55] Keroli
    and my popularity will plummet.
[18:59] Keroli
    But I can't have him getting away...
[19:03] Keroli
    Um... How did you figure it out?
[19:06] Keroli
    The fact that I'm your classmate,
     Crocell Keroli?
[19:10] Iruma
    Um... Your hands.
[19:12] Keroli
    My hands?
[19:14] Iruma
    I thought it was strange
[19:17] Iruma
    that someone as tame as you
    was in the Misfit Class.
[19:22] Iruma
    You'd always roll your hands
    into fists, tucking your thumbs in.
[19:28] Iruma
    I thought that was unique.
[19:30] Iruma
    And then you held your hand
    the same way on stage,
[19:33] Iruma
    so I just thought, maybe...
[19:35] Iruma
    Other than that, there's what you
    had in your planner, and the ice...
[19:39] Iruma
    And your glasses were pretty decisive.

[19:49] Keroli
    I need to be more careful...
[19:52] Keroli
    But him noticing my hands is weird.
[19:55] Keroli
    My glasses are super
    detection-warding glasses.
[19:58] Keroli
    They're a special item that should
    conceal me from any other demon...
[20:03] Keroli
    Of course, even if I put them on,
    51% of my charm still seeps through...
[20:11] Keroli
    Anyway, unless someone paid
    that much attention to me,
[20:14] Keroli
    they shouldn't be able to notice...
[20:18] Keroli
    I see! That means...
[20:20] Iruma
    I...
[20:21] Keroli
    That means he...
[20:23] Iruma
    I...
[20:24] Keroli
    That means he's...
[20:25] Keroli
    a huge fan!
[20:26] Iruma
    I'm so jealous of you.
[20:30] Keroli
    Huh?
[20:33] Iruma
    I think it's amazing that
    you don't stand out at all!
[20:38] Iruma
    It's like you're here, but you're not.
[20:40] Iruma
    You're a pro at killing your presence!
[20:43] Iruma
    I end up standing out without meaning to...
[20:46] Iruma
    So...
[20:47] Iruma
    I want to become someone like you,
    who doesn't stand out at all!
[20:58] Keroli
    Without meaning to?
[21:03] Keroli
    Without meaning to?
[21:06] Keroli
    So you stand out without meaning to?
[21:12] Keroli
    So you're saying that my
    desperate need to stand out
[21:16] Keroli
    is being defeated by you standing
    out without meaning to?
[21:19] Keroli
    I...
[21:20] Keroli
    I...
[21:22] Keroli
    I refuse to accept that!
[21:25] Keroli
    Wh-Wh-Wh-What in the world am I?!
[21:28] Keroli
    This can't be... happening!
[21:31] Iruma
    P-Please calm down!
[21:33] Keroli
    I... won't lose... to you...
[21:42] Iruma
    Kuromu-san?
[21:44] Iruma
    Uh... Kuromu-san!
[21:51] Iruma
    She has a terrible fever!
[21:53] Iruma
    S-Someone!
[21:55] Iruma
    Please wake up, Kuromu-san! Kuromu-san?
[21:59] Iruma
    Someone, please!

    What is all this?
[23:42] Clara
    You try it, too!
[23:43] Asmodeus
    Huh?
[23:44] Clara
    Devi, devi, so cute! Kuromu!
[23:47] Asmodeus
    I will not do that!
[23:49] Clara
    I'm sure if the three of us do it
    together, Iruma-chi will be happy.
[23:55] Nar
    And then, ten minutes later,
    Asmodeus mastered the moves.
[23:56] Clara
    Devi, devi, so cute! Kuromu!

    How dare you always stand
    out more than me? Hmph!
[24:06] Keroli
    The way I got mad just now was so cute.

    I can't help it, though.
    I'm really just that cute.

    I'm not joking!
