[00:01] Ameri
Iruma, what is your dream?
[00:05] Ameri
A student's main duty is to climb the ranks.
[00:08] Ameri
For now, why not try to become a Bet?
[00:13] Ameri
I'll wait for you to stand by my side, Iruma.
[00:18] Nar
Suzuki Iruma, age fourteen.
[00:20] Nar
One day, he became the grandson
of a demon called Sullivan.
SIGN Sold
[00:24] Nar
Sullivan loves to spoil Iruma to bits
and is even sending him to school.
[00:31] Nar
But there is just one problem...
[00:33] Nar
The school Iruma is attending
is the demon school Babyls.
[00:39] Iruma
I need to make sure they
don't find out I'm human...
[00:42] Iruma
Or I might get eaten!
SIGN Iruma's Decision and Hard Work
[02:15] All
"Iruma's Decision and Hard Work."
[02:21] Asmodeus
What?
[02:22] ---
You want to raise your rank?
[02:25] Iruma
Yeah, I do.
[02:30] Iruma
For now, I just want to
climb from Alef to Bet.
SIGN Alef
SIGN Bet
[02:35] Iruma
So I was hoping you could
show me how to raise my...
[02:39] Iruma
Wha—
[02:41] Iruma
Azz-kun?!
[02:44] Asmodeus
I almost thought Iruma-sama
had no interest in ranks,
[02:48] Asmodeus
but I guess it must've been
getting to him deep down.
[02:51] Iruma
Huh? Um...
[02:52] Asmodeus
And he has every right to be upset!
[02:54] Asmodeus
Iruma-sama did something as
unprecedented as making
[02:58] ---
the Guardian of Cutthroat Valley his pet,
yet his rank was declared immeasurable!
[03:03] Asmodeus
He obviously can't be ranked on the
same scale as the rest of us demons,
[03:06] Asmodeus
but that's no reason to place
him at the lowest rank of Alef!
SIGN Alef
Iruma
[03:12] Asmodeus
I was displeased when you
were ranked as an Alef, as well!
[03:17] Asmodeus
All of our foolish classmates and their
lack of ambition had left me numb,
[03:21] Asmodeus
but moving up the ranks is a demon's pride!
[03:24] Asmodeus
Let us move up the ranks!
[03:26] Asmodeus
We must prepare at once!
[03:28] Iruma
S-Sure...
[03:29] Clara
Prepare for what?
[03:31] Asmodeus
What else?
[03:32] Asmodeus
Prepare Iruma-sama to rise
to the highest rank, Yodh,
[03:36] Asmodeus
and then... to reign over...
[03:38] Asmodeus
all of Babyls!
[03:42] Both
What?!
[03:45] Demon A
Holy crap!
[03:46] Demon B
Did you hear that?! He's crazy!
[03:48] Demon C
Is this the birth of a new legend?!
[03:52] Eiko
I'm sure Iruma-san can do it!
[03:54] Clara
One promotion, please!
[03:56] Come-Come
Leave.
[03:58] Iruma
A-Azz-kun,
[04:00] ---
I'm fine with just being a Bet...
[04:03] Asmodeus
Huh? B-But...
[04:07] Asmodeus
Nay, this is Iruma-sama we're talking about.
[04:10] Asmodeus
I'm sure he has some profound
reason that I could never even fathom.
[04:15] Asmodeus
I apologize for my presumptuousness.
[04:18] Iruma
Er, don't worry about it!
[04:20] ---
Could we stop standing ou—
[04:21] Asmodeus
Now,
[04:22] Asmodeus
Iruma-sama is going to prepare
to rise up to the rank of Bet.
[04:27] Asmodeus
Make way!
[04:29] Demon A
Why Bet?
[04:30] Demon B
He suddenly brought the bar way down.
[04:32] Demon C
This is still gonna be crazy.
[04:34] Demon D
I'm devi looking forward to it!
[04:36] Eiko
Wh-What should I do?
[04:38] ---
If Iruma-san goes up to Bet,
we won't be the same rank anymore.
[04:42] Gaako
Well, you could move up, too.
[04:51] Lead
Sounds fun.
[04:53] Asmodeus
Now, let us go, Iruma-sama.
[04:55] Iruma
S-Sure.
[04:56] Clara
Wait, wait!
[04:59] Come-Come
Take her away.
[05:00] Clara
Yeah! Take me away!
[05:09] Iruma
Wh-Where are we?
[05:14] Asmodeus
This is Babyls's underground gym.
[05:18] Iruma
Wow, I never knew a place like
this existed under our classrooms.
SIGN Fear 1
SIGN They're Here
[05:23] Iruma
I'm shocked.
[05:25] Clara
It's so big!
[05:27] Clara
Connor! Murf!
[05:29] Clara
You can run around
all you want down here!
[05:31] Clara
Roll...ing-g-g-g-g-g-g-g!
[05:36] Iruma
They're not actually running...
[05:38] Asmodeus
Honestly, she's such a nuisance.
[05:41] Asmodeus
Now, then.
[05:43] Asmodeus
There is currently one way for you
to raise your rank, Iruma-sama.
[05:47] Asmodeus
And that is to get good marks
[05:49] ---
on the periodic rank promotion
exams we have in class.
[05:52] Iruma
Promotion...
[05:54] Clara
...exams?
[05:56] Asmodeus
The next promotion exam is in one week.
[05:59] Asmodeus
And the thing we'll be tested on...
[06:02] Asmodeus
is execution cannonball.
SIGN Execution Cannonball
[06:07] Iruma
Execution...
[06:09] Clara
...skip to my lou?
[06:10] Asmodeus
Cannonball! You didn't get
a single part of that right!
[06:13] Asmodeus
Execution cannonball was once
[06:15] ---
used as a test to quell a sudden outbreak
of demons fighting over their territories.
[06:20] Asmodeus
It is a bloody massacre!
[06:24] Asmodeus
We use weapons called caimans
that, once they bite down,
[06:27] ---
will not let go of their prey
until they're torn to shreds.
[06:37] Asmodeus
The first to enter their enemy's castle
and eliminate everyone inside is the winner.
[06:44] Iruma
Th-That's horrifying!
[06:46] Asmodeus
Indeed. But due to the
number of casualties...
[06:50] Asmodeus
We just use this ball
now instead of caimans.
[06:54] Iruma
A ball!
[06:56] Asmodeus
And, to conserve time and money,
[06:59] ---
we will use these territories
marked by lines instead of castles!
[07:01] Iruma
That's super effective!
[07:03] Asmodeus
Those who are hit by the ball
must leave the field!
[07:05] Iruma
Leave the field?
[07:07] Clara
Bring it on! Hey, hey!
[07:09] Asmodeus
Those sent off the field
[07:10] Asmodeus
can come back in as soon as they
hit an enemy with the ball.
[07:14] Asmodeus
Valac, bring out the cursed puppets
so we can have enough players.
[07:17] Clara
'Kay!
[07:19] Doll
Cursed...
SIGN Cursed
[07:20] Doll
Cursed...
[07:20] Doll
Cursed...
[07:21] Doll
Cursed...
[07:22] Doll
Cursed...
[07:24] All
Cursed!
SIGN Cursed Puppets
[07:27] Asmodeus
All right! Let us start practicing!
[07:29] Iruma
Sure!
[07:30] Clara
Yeah! Bring it!
[07:37] Doll
Cursed!
[07:40] Asmodeus
Here I go!
SIGN Cursed
[07:42] Iruma
Yay!
[07:43] ---
Cursed!
[07:46] Iruma
This is just dodgeball!
[07:51] Iruma
I mean, I sort of figured it out
during the explanation, but...
[07:54] Doll
Curse?
[07:54] Asmodeus
Is something the matter?
[07:56] Iruma
I won't be led astray again!
[07:58] Iruma
I guess the netherworld has
a surprisingly laid-back side.
[08:01] Iruma
If we're just playing dodgeball, even I can—
[08:15] Iruma
S-Sabnock-kun!
[08:17] Sabro
A battle to the death to climb the ranks...
[08:19] Sabro
I'd expect nothing less from thee!
[08:22] Jazz
Oh, there you are.
We're bored, so let us play, too!
[08:25] Elizabetta And Lead
Let's play! Let's play!
[08:27] Schneider
Harmony is the greatest of virtues.
[08:29] Picero
Jeez, what a pain...
[08:32] Iruma
Guys!
[08:34] Sabro
Such merriment!
[08:38] Goemon
Special Technique...
[08:43] Goemon
Wind-Sword Kill!
SIGN Wind-Sword Kill
[08:59] Picero
You're so loud!
[09:00] Sabro
I'm not done yet!
[09:02] Sabro
Take this and this and this!
[09:08] Jazz
Wow...
[09:09] Clara
Want some candies?
[09:11] Iruma
This isn't laid-back at all!
[09:14] (Flashback) Ameri
I'll be waiting for you, Iruma.
[09:17] Iruma
I'm sorry. I can't, Ameri-san.
[09:19] Iruma
I'll never be able to climb the ranks like this.
[09:22] Iruma
I don't think training is
going to help me here...
[09:25] Asmodeus
Training, Iruma-sama?
[09:27] Iruma
Huh?!
[09:27] Asmodeus
You must want to train!
[09:29] Iruma
Huh? Um...
[09:31] Asmodeus
There is a possibility that your rank
will be immeasurable again.
[09:35] Asmodeus
We need to be extra careful.
[09:38] Asmodeus
But I fear that I will not be a substantial
opponent for your training.
[09:43] Asmodeus
Why don't you discuss this matter
with someone of a much higher rank?
[09:48] Iruma
A high-ranking demon?
[09:50] Asmodeus
Yes.
[09:51] Asmodeus
It's someone you know as well.
[09:54] Iruma
Who's that?
SIGN Chair-Demon's Office
[10:02] Sullivan
I see...
[10:06] Sullivan
Please... Tell me more about this training.
[10:22] Kalego
Where the hell did they all go?
SIGN Sure
[10:38] ---
Friend or foe, Iruma is completely
surrounded by demons.
[10:41] Nar
The difference in strength between Iruma
and the others is beyond evident.
[10:46] Iruma
There's nothing I could
possibly do right now.
[10:50] Iruma
So...
[10:52] Iruma
Thank you for training me, Chair-Demon.
[10:57] Sullivan
Oh, Iruma-kun...
[10:59] Sullivan
You're supposed to call me
Grandpa outside of school!
[11:03] Sullivan
Why did we bother coming back home?
[11:06] Iruma
Huh? S-Sorry!
[11:08] Iruma
It wasn't for my training?
[11:11] Sullivan
Okay, first, let's give it a light throw.
[11:15] Sullivan
Throw it at that.
[11:18] Iruma
I-I'm not sure I can throw that far...
[11:21] Iruma
I'm really bad at this.
[11:23] Sullivan
You'll be fine as long as you do just as I say.
[11:26] Sullivan
Spread your legs just a little.
[11:28] Iruma
L-Like this?
[11:30] Sullivan
Yes, perfect!
[11:32] ---
And don't put too much
strength into your right arm.
[11:35] Iruma
Okay.
[11:36] Sullivan
Now, try throwing it.
[11:38] Iruma
I was imagining some kind of
really crazy training method,
[11:42] ---
but this is basically
just normal dodgeball.
[11:46] Iruma
O-Okay, I'll give it a shot!
[11:48] Sullivan
Oh, when you throw,
make sure you yell, "Libera!"
[11:52] Iruma
Wait, what?
[11:53] Iruma
Libera!
[11:57] Iruma
Huh?
[12:05] Sullivan
Woo!
[12:08] Sullivan
Well done.
[12:10] Sullivan
You'll annihilate them! Make no mistake!
[12:13] Sullivan
Training complete.
[12:14] Iruma
Everything about this is a mistake!
[12:16] ---
No using magic!
[12:17] Sullivan
Aw, why not? It's so easy.
[12:20] Iruma
Um...
[12:22] Iruma
This power is actually your power,
[12:25] ---
so I feel like it's cheating.
[12:28] Iruma
I want to be able to do this on my own.
[12:32] Iruma
So I don't want to use magic.
[12:38] Sullivan
But it's going to be difficult
to do this without magic.
[12:42] Sullivan
So...
[12:47] Sullivan
I just strengthened your hands so you can
at least catch a ball thrown by demons.
[12:54] Sullivan
This will allow you to
have a fair match, right?
[12:59] Iruma
Thank you, Grandpa!
[13:02] Sullivan
Wholesome...
[13:08] Iruma
Wh-What's wrong?
[13:10] Sullivan
I'm saving that image
in my heart's memory.
[13:12] ---
I need to make sure
I put a file lock on it.
[13:15] Iruma
Memo... File lock?!
[13:16] ---
Wait, what?
[13:17] Iruma
Thank you, Grandpa!
[13:18] Iruma
Thank you, Grandpa!
[13:19] Iruma
Thank you, Grandpa!
[13:20] Iruma
Thank you, Grandpa!
[13:22] Sullivan
Devi, devi, devi!
[13:24] Sullivan
Well, I'll be going now.
[13:25] Iruma
Huh?
[13:26] Sullivan
Don't worry.
[13:28] Sullivan
If you want to train without using magic,
[13:30] ---
I know of a better teacher.
[13:38] Opera
I will now take over as your mentor.
[13:42] Iruma
Opera-san?
[13:45] Sullivan
Okay, I'm leaving the rest to you!
[13:49] Sullivan
Do your best!
[13:51] Iruma
Thank you, Grandpa!
[13:55] Opera
Now, let us begin.
[13:57] Iruma
Wait!
[13:59] Iruma
This is...
[14:00] Iruma
too sudden!
[14:02] Opera
I will keep going.
[14:06] Iruma
Wait!
[14:07] Iruma
Seriously!
[14:08] Iruma
Wait, wait!
[14:10] Iruma
Opera-san? Opera-san?!
[14:16] Opera
As I thought, you are a true
master at evading, Iruma-sama.
[14:20] Opera
But if you want to raise your rank,
[14:22] ---
you can't just evade.
[14:24] ---
You have to hit your opponent.
[14:26] Iruma
Hit... my opponent?
[14:30] Opera
Indeed.
[14:34] Opera
First, let's try catching the ball.
[14:37] Opera
As much as this pains me,
[14:38] ---
I'm going to continue throwing.
[14:40] Iruma
But... wait... this is...
[14:43] Opera
Oh, how it pains me so.
[14:46] Iruma
There's no sign of any expression on your face!
[14:49] Opera
This is all so you don't
get hurt in a real match.
[14:53] Opera
Also, if you truly wish
to move up the ranks,
[14:56] ---
it will require even harsher guidance.
[14:59] Opera
Please be prepared.
[15:07] Opera
That is all for today.
[15:08] Iruma
Okay...
[15:11] Iruma
Catch...
[15:14] Iruma
Catch?
[15:17] Asmodeus
Iruma-sama, how goes your training?
[15:20] Asmodeus
Please allow me to support you!
[15:22] Asmodeus
We're friends, after all!
[15:23] Asmodeus
No need to reply.
[15:25] ---
I'm just honored that you
dread my messages at all!
[15:27] Clara
Go, go, Iruma-chi! Devi, devi, go, go!
SIGN I'm cheering for you!
SIGN Devi devi fight!
SIGN I'm Murf
SIGN I'm Connor
[15:30] Asmodeus
Must you interrupt me even
here, you insolent fool?!
[15:31] Clara
Devi, devi, go, go!
[15:32] Iruma
Azz-kun... And Clara, too...
[15:32] Asmodeus
Listen to me!
[15:33] Clara
Devi, devi, go, go!
[15:33] Asmodeus
Hey, listen to me!
[15:36] Iruma
Thank you.
[15:39] Iruma
Oh, yeah.
[15:40] ---
I should probably report
back to Ameri-san, too.
[15:44] Asmodeus
Iruma-sama!
[15:46] Clara
Fight, fight!
[15:48] Opera
Today, we shall continue
our lessons in catching.
[15:51] Opera
Okay.
[15:56] Opera
Whenever the ball is about to hit your face,
[15:58] ---
I will stop it like so.
[16:00] Opera
Please catch it rather than evading it.
[16:02] Iruma
Okay.
[16:08] Iruma
I'm sorry!
[16:10] ---
My body has a mind of its own!
[16:11] Opera
Please listen.
[16:12] Opera
It is crucial that you watch
the ball and concentrate.
[16:17] Opera
Here we go, Iruma-sama.
[16:19] ---
Okay.
[16:20] Opera
Catch the ball!
[16:23] Iruma
Keep my eyes on the... ball?!
[16:29] Opera
Now, grab it!
[16:32] Iruma
I can't!
[16:34] Asmodeus
Iruma-sama!
[16:35] Clara
Iruma-chi!
[16:45] Opera
That's the spirit!
[16:46] Opera
Brace your lower body and concentrate!
[16:52] Iruma
Okay!
SIGN First Love Memories
[16:55] Ameri
So Iruma's begun his training...
[16:59] Ameri
I guess we'll have to put the reading
of the forbidden texts on hold.
[17:03] Ameri
It must be done.
[17:05] Ameri
I will wait until his exam is over.
SIGN My hellish
training begins!
SIGN Indeed!
[17:10] Ameri
Do your best, Iruma.
[17:13] Opera
You need to strengthen those muscles!
[17:16] Asmodeus
Iruma-sama!
[17:17] Clara
Fight!
[17:23] Clara
You can do it, Iruma-chi!
[17:25] ---
Lift me up!
[17:26] Asmodeus
Do not interfere!
[17:31] Opera
Faster!
[17:35] Iruma
Catch...
[17:43] Iruma
Catch...
[17:52] Iruma
Catch!
[18:00] Asmodeus
Iruma-sama.
[18:02] Asmodeus
Here's some water.
[18:03] Iruma
Thanks, Azz-kun!
[18:05] Clara
Eat more! More!
[18:07] Asmodeus
I see you have a healthy
appetite as usual.
[18:13] Asmodeus
Iruma-sama!
[18:15] Asmodeus
Your hand...
[18:16] Asmodeus
I-It's scraped all over!
[18:19] Iruma
Yeah!
[18:20] ---
The ball actually hits my
hands half the time now!
[18:24] Iruma
Also, I can finally distinguish
Opera-san's different moods.
[18:29] Iruma
When the kitty ears are droopy,
that means "bad mood."
[18:31] Iruma
When the kitty ears are pointed up,
that means "good mood."
[18:33] Clara
Huh...
[18:34] Asmodeus
I see...
[18:39] Iruma
Catch... Catch...
[18:42] Clara
Iruma-chi's amazing, huh?
[18:44] ---
Most demons get bored easily.
[18:47] Asmodeus
Yes...
[18:49] Asmodeus
Iruma-sama is...
[18:51] Asmodeus
quite eccentric.
[18:54] Iruma
Okay, back to training I go!
[18:56] Both
Yeah!
[18:58] Clara
Take that!
[19:17] Sullivan
Looks like he worked
really hard again today.
[19:20] Sullivan
So, how is the training going?
Do you think he'll make it in time?
[19:24] Opera
He still has yet to catch
the ball even once.
[19:27] Sullivan
What?!
[19:28] Sullivan
Is he going to be okay?
Will he be able to do it?
[19:31] Opera
However...
[19:33] Opera
He seems to be having fun every day.
[19:38] Sullivan
I see!
[19:46] Iruma
Just a little bit more...
[19:48] Opera
Tomorrow is the promotion exam.
[19:50] Opera
There's no more time.
[19:54] Iruma
Just a little more!
[19:58] Clara
Iruma-chi!
[19:58] Asmodeus
Iruma-sama!
[20:03] Iruma
Just a little more!
[20:04] Iruma
Another one, please!
[20:06] Opera
Here I go.
[20:11] Iruma
Brace my lower body...
[20:14] Iruma
And...
[20:18] Opera
Keep your eyes on the ball!
[20:23] Iruma
Keep my eyes...
[20:26] Iruma
on the ball!
[20:31] Iruma
Keep my eyes...
[20:37] Iruma
on the ball!
[20:51] Iruma
I caught it!
[20:53] Asmodeus
Splendid!
[20:54] Clara
Five, five, devi five!
[20:56] Both
Yay!
[20:58] Asmodeus
Hey! Iruma-sama's hands are injured!
[21:01] Iruma
I'm fine!
[21:02] ---
Did you want to do it, too?
[21:04] Asmodeus
M-May I?
[21:09] Clara
Devi five!
[21:11] Clara
Devi, devi five!
[21:13] Clara
Devi, devi five!
[21:13] Opera
Let us continue before
you forget that feeling.
[21:19] Opera
Once we are finished here,
[21:21] ---
I shall prepare my finest meal for you.
[21:25] Iruma
Okay!
[21:31] Sullivan
Looks like he's ready.
[21:35] Opera
Yes.
[21:45] Opera
Quite ready.
SIGN Next Time!
Execution Cannonball!

[23:27] Iruma
Ameri-san!
[23:28] ---
I'm sorry I haven't been able to read
First Love Memories to you lately!
[23:31] Ameri
It's true that I'd like to
know what happens next,
