You liked the fountain show, eh?
They totally look like a young couple with their kid, don't they?
Yes.
Quite.

The Devil and the Hero Go to the Amusement Park as Advised
Honestly! You said you'd take her in,
so you need to be ready for things like sunburn.
You're absolutely right.
That place looks like it probably sells hats, right?
Isn't it a little too ritzy?
Hats aren't that expensive.
I dunno...
Just do it!
It looks cute on you, but it's a little big.
You'll grow into it fast, though.
So, you have nothing to say.
Don't expect commentary on everything.
How long do you plan to take care of her?
Hard to say. Her real parents could show up any minute,
or I might have her until she grows up.
Do you plan to stay here forever?
It's weird for me to say this,
but aren't you worried about the troops you left behind?
I've given up on that.
She seems really fond of Emi.
Alas Ramus is so cute!
I just hope he doesn't overspend.
Looks like they have pink or yellow ribbons.
Which do you want, Alas Ramus?
Malkuth!
I'm sure the troops I left in Ente Isla were wiped out a long time ago.
So they fall apart as soon as their leader leaves?
I guess that's demons for you.
Okay, let's get this one.
Welcome, sir.
Even if I got all my magic back, I couldn't conquer the world the way I am now.
Very true.
If all the demons are dead, you can't be their lord anymore, either.
Does every citizen go to the battlefield when you humans wage war?
She's going to wear it now, so could you please take off the tag?
Of course.
I'm cute?
Yep, very cute.
It's lunchtime now, so the lines for the attractions might be short.
Is it just me, or did Emi look gloomy?
Maybe they argued about the price?
Two thousand... five hundred...
Hey, Ashiya, you look kind of pale.
Don't worry, I'm just fine.
Aw, this is boring. They're both acting surprisingly mature.
Maybe children really do bring parents together.
What? Miss Suzuki, you didn't just come to gawk at them?
Chiho, Chiho. You mustn't underestimate your big sister here.
I'm sowwy!
I also wanted to know what Emi's face would look like on a date with a man.
That's 100% gawking!
I'm not a gawker. I'm a voyeur.
That's worse, you know.
Well, what about you?
Me? I-I'm not, uh...
Hey, tell Big Sis all about it. My lips are sealed.
Right, Mr. Ashiya?
I'm glad you two are enjoying yourselves.
Come on, don't be like that.
Life's no fun if you're stiff and proper all the time.
Here we go!
Malkuth, Kether, Geburah, Chesed!
I see! You like the balloons, huh?
Does every citizen go to the battlefield when you humans wage war?
It feels like something I took for granted really isn't a given...
Emi.
Hey, Emi!
Hmm? O-Oh, sorry.
What's up? You're spacing out.
Wh-What's your problem?
And why are you suddenly so close to me?!
You bought a lot... So, what did you want?
Alas Ramus said she wanted to see this.
Apparently she likes stuff with lots of colors.
Shinobi Five
This show costs extra. Will you be okay?
If I apologize to Ashiya later... I mean, I already bought a hat, so...
But...
All right, I'll cover it.
I owe you one!
The next show is sold out already, so I got tickets for the one after.
Should we grab some food while we wait?
Yes, let's.
Alas Ramus, what are you hungry for?
Shall we go?
Yes.
Time to follow them.
Yes, ma'am.
Everyone,
cheer them on together!
Too close!
Everyone,
cheer them on together!
Toh!
Yah!
Toh!
He jumped from pretty high there.
Should the Devil be impressed by that?
But ninja shouldn't be so colorful. They'd stick out like a sore thumb!
Don't ruin the kids' show.
Let's go!
Yah!
Wow, those moves are pretty good.
Right, Alas Ramus?
Hey, what's wrong?
Sefio fell.
Papa... It's sefiot...
What's wrong?
Everyone fell from the tree.
Mama took me and ran.
Malkuth is gone...
What does that mean?
That's the same light she had when she first appeared!
We'd better get out of here.
Sorry, kid emergency.
She doesn't seem to have a fever, but go buy a cold drink just in case.
R-Right!
Everything all right?
Y-Yes. She's just not feeling too well.
Mama...
I'm right here.
May I?
Wh-What are you doing?!
Where's Papa?
Mama!
No need to be so wary. I'm not your enemy.
Or hers, either.
Alas Ramus, I'm so glad you grew up safely.
How do you know her name?
Of course I know it. It's an important name.
Be careful. I'm sure others have noticed the shard of Yesod on her forehead.
Wait, are you—?
The enemy will come.
Gabriel and his Heavenly Regiment are on the move.
Hey, Emi!
Are you feeling better? I'm gla—
Why are you so oblivious?!
"What happened before"?
Yes, the Gate incident.
Do you have a theory, then?
Thanks for your order!
Found them! There they are!
Oho, impressive, Chiho! Must be the power of love.
P-Please stop saying that!
Thank goodness.
Honestly, I can't believe you got sick from olive oil!
We lost sight of them while you were in the toilet, you know.
I am ashamed.
Are they riding the Ferris wheel?
What is Emi planning, bringing him to a private room in the sky?
Miss Suzuki!
Just joking, Chiho.
Well, let's go. Are you okay now, Mr. Ashiya?
I believe so.
Welcome!
Three people.
Yes, ma'am.
We're taking photographs right here.
Look this way, Mom!
Photos are on sale at the booth over there.
They make great mementos of your trip.
We don't want one.
Enjoy your ride!
That mom is scary.
Argh, they're already on board!
Hurry, or we'll get separated!
Coming!
Excuse me, how do I buy tickets?
Oh, you put your money in here...
We're taking photographs right here! Why not buy one as a memento?
You're frowning, Mr. Boyfriend!
Say cheese.
Thank you so much.
Thanks, Big Sis!
Anytime.
Huh?
Huh?!
We left Chiho behind.
Yes, we did.
Now, how about you tell me why you decided to take in this child?
Er, well...
And that crest on her forehead— you seemed to recognize it.
Spill everything!
If only we'd been one car sooner, we could see them better.
Miss Suzuki?
What's the matter?
Oh, um, I just feel bad for leaving Chiho behind.
Sorry, Chiho!
A private room in the sky...
Miss Suzuki, are you all right? Your face looks a bit red.
I'm fine!
Maybe my sunscreen didn't work!
So are you gonna talk, stay silent, or die?
That's not enough options!
And watch what you say in front of the kid!
Let's just say I'm her dad. That's fine!
It's not fine with me!
That woman in white mentioned a heavenly regiment.
Unless you want me as an enemy, tell me everything right now.
Oh, and you'll be my ally if I do?
Not yours. Hers.
Long before I ruled the demons, back when I was barely stronger than a goblin...
The demon realm was brutal back then. Battles to the death were the norm.
One all-brawn-and-no-brains demon single-handedly wiped out my whole clan.
In my last memory of my parents, they're lying lifeless on the ground.
I was near gone, too.
But someone got it into her head to save me, a little demon kid.
That was the first time I met an angel.
I tried attacking, but I was basically a gnat to her.
Still, she didn't kill me. She actually saved me.
She talked to me about lots of stuff while I healed from my wounds.
I learned things I hadn't known before.
The more I learned, though,
the more I realized how weird it was for an angel to save a demon.
So I asked her, "Why did you help me?"
And then?
Don't laugh. If you laugh, I'm not telling you any more.
Because I was crying, she said.
Because I was the first demon she'd ever seen cry.
Why did you cry?
I wasn't sad. Maybe it was because I was weak,
or because it wasn't fair how easily I was gonna die.
It was the angel who told me there was a "human" realm.
The Devil's invasion of Ente Isla was indirectly caused by an angel?
Anyway, her crest is the same as the moon-shaped crystal the angel left behind
the day she disappeared.
"If you want to know more about the world, plant this seed and cultivate it."
"Work hard, Demon King Satan."
That was in the note she left.
Without the knowledge she gave me, I couldn't have unified the demon realm.
So, I planted the crescent-moon seed.
I had faith that it'd lead to something good.
In the sense that I grew the crystal, I guess I am her dad.
Who was that angel?
Someone you don't know.
More importantly, why is Alas Ramus back to normal?
The woman in white cured her. Just by lifting her hand.
And then?
She said something about Gabriel and a "shard of Yesod"...
What was that for?!
Are you sure you used to be a Church knight?!
Excuse me?!
Shit, Yesod?! So that's what this was about?
What, Papa?
Hey, Alas Ramus. What's this red one?
Geburah!
What about the white?
Kether!
And this?
Malkuth! My friend!
Good job. You got them all.
I did good?
What was that about?
Alas Ramus might be somethin' a lot bigger than demons or angels.
Geburah, Kether, Malkuth, and Yesod.
They're all names of sephiroth—the cosmoplastic orbs in the Tree of Life.
Alas Ramus may be an incarnation of Yesod.
I see now that I was jealous.
I can't believe I tailed them...
And after Mr. Maou said he trusted me.
I'm the worst.
Papa! Want! Want!
Oh man, a thousand yen?
We'll take it.
H-Hey...
You don't mind?
It's not about you. I'm buying it because it's Alas Ramus's first photo.
And don't show it to anyone! It'll compromise my position!
Okay, okay.
Thanks, Mama!
Come on, time to go.
Urushihara? What is it?
Hello, Bel?
Where'd everybody go?
I don't even see Miss Sasaki.
Oh, well.
Hello, Emi? Is your date going well?
You're headed home because of an emergency?!
Okay. Talk later.
They went home? Do you think Miss Sasaki did, too?
I don't know, but we definitely let Chiho down.
Apologize for us both when you see her, okay?
Of course.
Well, I'll be returning home, too. Thank you for everything today.
Wait a sec!
Yes?
Why did I stop him?
Here's my number. Just in case something happens.
Ah, yes. I may humbly request your assistance again.
Well, I'm off.
Would you like your photo?
I apologize. They caught me off guard.
Oh, we didn't do anything violent.
I'm hoping we can settle this with diplomacy.
Are you Gabriel?
Yes! I am!
I didn't expect a personal appearance from Yesod's guardian angel.
I'll take that kid and Emilia's sacred sword, if you don't mind.
Also, we ate the pizza Lucifer ordered. Sorry.
Oh! We'll pay for it, of course.
That's not the issue! Well, it is an issue...
Listen, that pizza money is as good as dead if you don't hand over the girl.
What parent would exchange their kid for pizza money?
Man, when that kid's shard got taken from the Devil's Castle in Ente Isla,
I was seriously bummed.
But then I sensed its energy. I thought I might be dreaming!
So are you giving her back, or not?
No! Bad man took Malkuth and Kether and Binah and Chokmah!
I hate him!
Sadness!
Alas Ramus doesn't want to go with you, so I'm afraid I can't hand her over.
Aw! What about the sword, then?
Not happening. I can't hand it over until I achieve my goal.
The thing is, I can't go home without her.
Give her back, please.
Denied.
No matter what?
No matter what.
You may end up with all of Heaven as your enemy.
I'm not about to make a kid cry just to save my own life.
What a pain. I really don't want to do this.
I hate using force.
Papa!
I'm pretty sure I'd win even if you had your Devil powers.
So give her back.
Don't wanna.
I'm the ruler of demons. I love pissing off humans and angels.
When I reconquer the world, I plan to make her my heir.
You leave me no choice. I'll go easy on you, though.
And I'll stop if you admit defeat, okay?
Mr. Maou!
Chiho?! No, run away!
I came to apologize for today.
But then I saw this.
I know I can't help, but I can't just do nothing.
This is no affair for a human of this world.
I know about Mr. Maou and Ente Isla.
I even know you're probably an angel who came to take Alas Ramus.
Wow, I'm impressed you pegged me as an angel!
Am I that awe-inspiring?
No, but everyone else who's been cruel to Mr. Maou and the others was an angel.
Hee hee!
We're a little busy. You should go home if you don't want to get hurt.
Please, please don't take Alas Ramus away!
Alas Ramus really loves Mr. Maou and Miss Yusa.
So please!
Wh-Whoa, stop that! I'm no good with this stuff.
Come on, stop bowing.
Now it looks like I'm the bad guy here!
Please, I'm begging you!
Argh, okay! You have until tomorrow.
I'm coming for her first thing tomorrow morning.
W-We're going home, guys.
Gah! That parting line made me sound like a bad guy, too!
I'm home, every—
Urushihara! Explain this pizza!
Can't you see this isn't the time?
Forget about Ashiya. He doesn't know what's going on.
Now what?
Alas Ramus, do you want to go with that guy?
No!
Then that's that. We'll mount an all-out resistance tomorrow.
Are you confused? Bel and I can't go against an angel in broad dayli—
I know. I know determination isn't enough to fight this guy with.
At times like this, an adult plans for the worst and manages risk.
Hey, Emi.
Yeah, what?
You sleep here tonight.
Huh?
Huh?!
