[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!

[07:24] 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!

    Harmony is the greatest of virtues.
[08:29] Picero

    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] ---

    dread my messages at all!

    Listen to me!

    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!

    Iruma-sama!

[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.

    You need to strengthen those muscles!

[17:17] Clara
    Fight!
[17:23] Clara
    You can do it, Iruma-chi!

    Do not interfere!

    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?

    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!

    you forget that feeling.
[21:19] Opera

    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,
[23:34] Ameri
    but I also want him to do
    his best with his training.
[23:39] Ameri
    That's right!
[23:40] ---
    There was that scene in the forbidden texts
    where they spoke honestly about their feelings.
[23:44] Ameri
    I'll use that same method to
    tell him how I'm truly feeling.
[23:48] Ameri
    Iruma!
