[00:05] Nar
    The netherworld.
[00:07] Nar
    The realm where demons live.
[00:10] Nar
    And the king that rules
    over the netherworld is...
[00:13] Nar
    the Demon King.
[00:17] Nar
    But ever since the previous
    Demon King, Derkila, disappeared,
[00:21] Nar
    the Demon King's throne has been vacant.
[00:26] Nar
    Who will be the next Demon King?

[02:04] All
    "The One Who Rules Over the Netherworld."
[02:16] Iruma
    I'm done!
[02:19] Nar
    Suzuki Iruma, age fourteen.
[02:21] Nar
    He is a human, but he goes to the
    demon school Babyls in the netherworld.
[02:26] Opera
    Well done, Iruma-sama.
[02:28] Iruma
    Thanks, Opera-san.
[02:31] Nar
    Babyls is currently on end of terminus.
[02:33] Nar
    End of terminus is similar to what we call
    "summer vacation" in the human world.
[02:38] Nar
    Iruma was doing everything he could
    to finish his homework toward the end.
[02:42] Iruma
    I was worried about all the
    extra homework we got, but...
[02:46] Opera
    That truly seemed like
    something Kalego-kun would do.
[02:49] Iruma
    Yeah...
[02:52] Nar
    Why did he get so much extra
    homework during the end of terminus?
[02:55] Nar
    Let's rewind a bit.
[02:59] (Flashback) Iruma
    A competition?
[03:00] (Flashback) Clara
    The team who has the most fun wins!
[03:03] (Flashback) Lead
    And the teachers will treat
    the winning team to something!
[03:07] (Flashback) Kalego
    Don't make your own rules, you fools!
[03:09] (Flashback) Kalego
    Very well. I will allow a prize...
[03:13] (Flashback) Kalego
    And the losing team will get double
    homework during their end of terminus.
[03:20] Nar
    And then, at a certain restaurant in town...
[03:24] (Flashback) Sullivan
    In my eyes, the winner of the team
    fun times competition at Walter Park is...
[03:29] (Flashback) Sullivan
    All of the teams!
[03:37] (Flashback) Sullivan
    And, by the way,
    this is your treat, Kalego-kun.
[03:40] (Flashback) Jazz
    Hell yeah!
[03:41] (Flashback) Lead
    Let's eat!
[03:42] (Flashback) Goemon
    I will definitely not hold back!
[03:43] (Flashback) Elizabetta
    Thank you, Sensei.
[03:46] (Flashback) Clara
    Eggie-sensei's got deep pockets!
[03:48] (Flashback) Iruma
    This is so good!
[03:50] (Flashback) Asmodeus
    I'm so happy for you, Iruma-sama.
[03:52] (Flashback) Jazz
    Excuse me!
[03:53] (Flashback) Jazz
    I'd like to get another order
    of everything from here to here!
[03:57] (Flashback) Balam
    Are you sure you're going to pay
    for everything, Kalego-kun?
[04:00] (Flashback) Balam
    I'll be happy to pitch in.
[04:02] (Flashback) Kalego
    Oh, I don't mind. If all of them won...
[04:07] (Flashback) Kalego
    that also means they're
    all in last place, too.
[04:13] (Flashback) Kalego
    The teams in last place
    get double the homework,
[04:16] (Flashback) Kalego
    if I remember correctly.
[04:19] (Flashback) Abnormal Class
    Huh?
[04:21] (Flashback) Lead
    H-He pulled one over on us!
[04:23] (Flashback) Elizabetta
    Th-Th-That's awful!
[04:25] (Flashback) Goemon
    We've been deceived!
[04:27] (Flashback) Opera
    Wow...
[04:28] (Flashback) Balam
    Kalego-kun...
SIGN    Malicious!!
[04:35] Iruma
    I'm so happy I finished in time.
[04:38] Opera
    Yes.
[04:40] Opera
    The end of terminus is coming to a close,
[04:41] Opera
    so you will need to get ready
    for the new term soon.
[04:44] Sullivan
    Precisely!
[04:46] Sullivan
    I'm pretty much done with all my work,
    and now you're done with your homework.
[04:50] Sullivan
    We finally have time!
[04:54] Sullivan
    Okay, let's go.
[04:55] Iruma
    Huh?
[04:56] Iruma
    W-Wait! Go where?
[05:07] Iruma
    Wh-Where exactly are we going?
[05:10] Sullivan
    You're going shopping with your grandpa
    for things you'll need for the new term.
[05:14] Iruma
    Shopping?
[05:15] Sullivan
    Oh, right. Iruma-kun, you'll need a disguise.
[05:18] Iruma
    Huh?
[05:19] Sullivan
    Well, you're a celebrity,
    so you're going to stand out!
[05:25] Sullivan
    Detection-warding glasses!
[05:29] Sullivan
    Oh, you look so good in glasses!
[05:32] Sullivan
    Now you won't be recognized,
    and you won't have the press hounding you.
[05:36] Sullivan
    We'll be able to shop in peace.
[05:38] Iruma
    Yeah.
[05:39] Iruma
    I'm going shopping with Grandpa...
    This is my first time.
[05:43] Iruma
    I wonder where we're going.
[05:48] Nar
    Sullivan's mansion is near Babyls.
[05:51] Nar
    Nearby, there's the dormitory
    where the teachers live,
[05:56] Nar
    a park, and a shopping district where
    you can find all kinds of goods...
[06:01] Nar

    Grandpa sure is popular...
[06:26] Demon A
    Sullivan-sama! I saw your
    press conference on TV!
[06:30] Demon B
    Your grandson is amazing.
[06:31] Demon C
    Your grandson isn't with you today?
[06:34] Sullivan
    My grandson's such a wonderful lad.
[06:37] Sullivan
    I couldn't be prouder.
[06:42] Demon D
    Are you one of his attendants?
[06:43] Iruma
    Y-Yes.
[06:45] Iruma
    These detection-warding
    glasses sure work wonders.
[06:50] Opera
    That looks very good on you, Iruma-sama.
[06:52] Iruma
    Y-You think so?
[06:55] Sullivan
    We'll probably need to get
    you a few winter coats.
[06:58] Employee A
    I'd recommend some Devia ones.
[07:01] Employee A
    They're very well made, and you can
    get your wings in and out so easily.
[07:05] Sullivan
    I'll take everything to the left of this.
[07:08] Employee A
    Oh, thank you so much!
[07:09] Iruma
    Wait, wait, wait!

    Hats and horn ornaments are in right now!
[07:20] Opera
    Iruma-sama, how about this?
[07:24] Opera
    It's a collar that makes your

[07:26] Iruma
    Huh?!
[07:27] Opera
    Shall we get it?
[07:28] Iruma
    I-I don't...

    Hey!
[07:37] Kalego
    He—
[07:38] Iruma
    That's okay.
[07:39] Opera
    I see.
[07:49] Iruma
    There are so many books.
[07:51] Sullivan
    I'll need The Basics of Magic,
    Camiden's Biography, The Secrets of Magic...
SIGN    Right.
SIGN    Yes, yes.
SIGN    Yes, yes, yes.
SIGN    How about a copy of The Demon
    Lord's Prophecies for Dummies?
[08:01] Sullivan
    I'll take it!
SIGN    Thank you very much.
[08:03] Iruma
    That many?
[08:05] Sullivan
    Once your new term begins,
    you'll have more spells to learn
[08:08] Sullivan
    and more opportunities to use them.
[08:10] Sullivan
    We'll have to practice magic a bit more.
[08:14] Sullivan
    You learned Fractal in class, right?
SIGN    Weight Adjustment (Fractal)
[08:17] Sullivan
    Well? Can you use it now?
[08:20] Iruma
    Y-Yeah.
[08:23] Iruma
    S-Somewhat— Huh?!
[08:27] Sullivan
    If you master it a little better,
    you might be able to fly.
[08:30] Sullivan
    I'm sure you'll need to
    practice quite a bit, though.
[08:35] Iruma
    Oh, right.
[08:36] Iruma
    My senpai in the student council
    also told me to practice magic.
[08:41] Iruma
    I'm gonna practice more!
[08:42] Sullivan
    You just have to get used to it.
[08:44] Sullivan
    Once you can modify it a bit better...
[08:46] Shoplifter
    Whoa, wh-what?
[08:48] Sullivan
    It comes in very handy.
[08:53] Sullivan
    Tsk, tsk, tsk. Shoplifting
    is bad, my friend.

[10:10] Iruma
    Yeah.
[10:11] Iruma
    Thanks, Grandpa. I had so much fun!
[10:15] Sullivan
    Now you're all set for the new term.
[10:18] Iruma
    Everything was so new
    that I didn't know where to look.
[10:21] Opera

[10:39] Sullivan
    Are you having fun at school?
[10:43] Iruma
    Yeah, I'm having lots of fun!
[10:46] Sullivan
    I see.

    The new term should be a lot of fun, too.
[10:51] Sullivan
    There are a lot of events,
    so it'll be exciting.
SIGN    New Term
[10:55] Sullivan
    The first term was basically
    like an orientation.
[10:58] Iruma
    Huh?
[10:59] Iruma
    I-I remember my days being rather intense...
[11:04] Sullivan
    I guess they were for you and
    your friends, for some reason.
[11:06] Iruma
    So there's going to be even more?
[11:09] Sullivan
    Your new term might end
    up a bit chaotic, too.
[11:14] Iruma
    Oh, yeah. Grandpa...
[11:16] Sullivan
    Yes?

[12:36] (Flashback) Sullivan
    Well, if you knew, that's even worse.
[12:39] (Flashback) Sullivan
    Derkila-sama, you could at least—
[12:41] (Flashback) Delkiller
    Shut up.
[12:43] (Flashback) Delkiller
    All of them just lining up there together...
[12:48] (Flashback) Delkiller
    Do they really think they can run
     the netherworld from some desks?
[12:52] (Flashback) Delkiller
    It's right here!
[12:54] (Flashback) Delkiller
    This is the netherworld I created.
[13:04] (Flashback) Delkiller
    All right.
[13:05] (Flashback) Delkiller
    Summon those Thirteen Crown fools here.
[13:08] (Flashback) Delkiller
    We're going to have our meeting here.
[13:12] (Flashback) Sullivan
    Are you sure it's not because
    you just don't want to move?
[13:15] (Flashback) Delkiller
    You're ruthless, Sacchan.
[13:18] (Flashback) Delkiller
    Just look at this view!
    This is the netherworld I created!
[13:24] (Flashback) Delkiller
    Am I right,
[13:26] (Flashback) Delkiller
    Sacchan?
[13:26] Iruma
    Grandpa.
[13:29] (Flashback) Delkiller
    Sacchan.
[13:29] Iruma
    Grandpa! Grandpa!
[13:34] Iruma
    Are you okay?
[13:36] Sullivan
    Er, you just startled me a bit.
[13:39] Iruma
    Startled you?
[13:41] Sullivan
    But...
[13:43] Sullivan
    To think that you want to
    become the Demon King!
[13:46] Iruma
    Huh?
[13:47] Sullivan
    You should've said so earlier!
[13:48] Iruma
    Wait, wait, wait! No!
[13:50] Iruma
    It's not that I want to be the Demon King!
[13:53] Iruma
    It's just that I heard some demons talking
    about the Demon King when we were in town.
[13:59] Iruma
    They were saying you could become
     the Demon King, but you haven't.
[14:03] Iruma
    So I just wondered why...
[14:05] Iruma
    and what exactly it takes
    to become the Demon King.
[14:09] Sullivan
    Ah...
[14:11] Sullivan
    I see.
[14:13] Sullivan
    You know about the Thirteen Crowns, don't you?
[14:18] Iruma
    Y-Yeah.
[14:19] Iruma
    Opera-san said they are the heroes
    who represent the netherworld.
[14:24] Iruma
    You're one of them, too. Right, Grandpa?
[14:27] Sullivan
    Indeed.
[14:31] Sullivan
    Each of the Thirteen Crowns has been
     around since the age of the Demon King
[14:35] Sullivan
    and each has important responsibilities.
[14:38] Sullivan
    Peace exists in this world because
     the Thirteen Crowns are at its center.
[14:45] Sullivan
    In order to become the Demon King,
    you would need the trust of all thirteen.
[14:50] Iruma
    All of them?
[14:51] Sullivan
    Basically, it's a devi-important responsibility.
[14:54] Sullivan
    The Demon King is the pinnacle
    who rules over all of them, after all.
[14:59] Iruma
    Wow...
[15:00] Iruma
    So the Demon King is in charge
    of most of the netherworld.
[15:04] Iruma
    That seems like a lot of work.
[15:06] Sullivan
    No, no. Not "most."
[15:10] Sullivan
    It's all of it.
[15:15] Sullivan
    Because the Demon King
    is the netherworld itself.
[15:25] Sullivan
    Even if the demons of the
    netherworld talked for decades
[15:29] Sullivan
    and decided to go right,
[15:32] Sullivan
    if the Demon King said...
[15:36] Delkiller
    Go straight.
[15:39] Sullivan
    They would then
[15:42] Sullivan
    create a path that didn't exist.
[15:46] Sullivan
    And...
[15:50] Sullivan
    They would create a river in the sky,
    create a flower field out of magma,
[15:54] Sullivan
    and create the netherworld in his vision.
[15:59] Sullivan
    The Demon King is the world.
    Sublime and absolute.
[16:10] Sullivan
    So, yes...
[16:12] Sullivan
    Looking at the current netherworld...
[16:19] Sullivan
    you can probably imagine what
    kind of demon the previous Demon King,
[16:24] Sullivan
    Derkila, was.
[16:29] Iruma
    He must have been a very fun demon.
[16:33] Sullivan
    Mm.
[16:34] Sullivan
    So I may eventually be able to
    become the Demon King.
[16:38] Sullivan
    Even if I become the Demon King,
    I'm not sure if I could live up to the title, but...
[16:43] Sullivan
    It would probably look like this!

[21:08] Iruma
    Today's the first day of the new term!
[21:11] Iruma
    Grandpa! Opera-san! I'm heading out!
[21:14] Sullivan
    You look great in your
    new outfit, Iruma-kun!
[21:15] Opera
    Have a wonderful day.
[21:17] Opera
    You'll be going, too, sir.
[21:19] Sullivan
    I know!
[21:21] Asmodeus
    Good morning, Iruma-sama!
[21:23] Clara
    Iruma-chi, good morning!
[21:26] Iruma
    Good morning, Azz-kun and Clara!
[21:28] Iruma
    Let's go!
[21:29] Clara
    Yeah!
[21:29] Asmodeus
    Indeed.
[21:30] Clara
    Our homework sure is heavy. Vroom, vroom.
[21:32] Iruma
    It sure is.
[21:32] Iruma
    I'm Suzuki Iruma, age fourteen. I'm a human.
[21:33] Asmodeus
    I shall carry it for you.
[21:35] Iruma
    I'm fine.
[21:36] Asmodeus
    But...
[21:37] Iruma
    I go to the demon school Babyls.
[21:41] Iruma
    Today's our first day of the new term!
[21:54] Iruma
    Humans only exist to be our food
[22:02] Iruma
    Suck them dry, soul, blood, flesh, and all
[22:10] Iruma
    Tremble at the sound
    of black wings as we take flight
[22:22] Iruma
    For we are demons
[22:26] Iruma
    As this song pours forth from our red lips
[22:34] Iruma
    Scream for us, for we are demons
[22:42] Iruma
    We strive to strengthen our
    evil tendencies in our fortress
[22:50] Iruma
    Its name is Babyls
[22:54] Iruma
    A school in a league of its own
[22:58] Iruma
    Give your soul, blood, flesh, and all
[23:03] Iruma
    May we strive to achieve
    the pinnacle of the demons
[23:17] Kalego
    Today is the first day of your new term.
[23:20] Lead
    Right.
[23:20] Students
    Right.
[23:21] Sabro
    Indeed.
[23:21] Clara
    Right.
[23:21] Asmodeus
    Right.
[23:30] Scroll
    Babyls special class order!
[23:34] Lead
    It's so loud!
[23:38] Scroll
    The Misfit Class must all become Dalet rank
    before becoming second-years!
[23:45] Nar
    Dalet is the borderline
    rank right before graduation.
[23:51] Nar
    To require first-years to achieve
    that rank is abnormal indeed.
[23:58] Scroll
    If you fail this order, you will immediately
     be ejected from the Royal One!
[24:06] All
    What?!
[24:10] Nar
    Will Iruma and his friends be able to
    avoid being thrown out of the Royal One?
[24:19] Nar
    We will tell you that story another time.
