Make sure you get Chi safely home.
Yes, Sire. I shall return shortly.
'Kay.
Chi-sis, later!
Yep, see you later.
What part of this is "risk management," exactly?
I'm getting you mixed up in this so that if things turn ugly with Gabriel,
you'll have no choice but to fight him for me.
You'd better not be serious.
I won't ask you to side with me,
but chip in enough to keep Alas Ramus from getting hurt, okay?
Yeah, I can agree to that much.
You know, it wouldn't hurt you to solve our problems once in a while.
Solving the Devil's problems wouldn't hurt me? What a load of crap.
Clap?
The Devil is a Part-Timer!

The Devil Learns the Pain of Losing Something Precious
I trust there was no trouble here?
Why would there be? He's not coming until morning.
How was the good Chiho?
She worried about His Majesty and the others the whole way home.
I see... But we cannot involve her in this.
Of course not.
I told her to stay away from the Devil's Castle
until this is settled one way or another.
Talk about weird room assignments.
I wanted to give Alas Ramus at least one night with you.
Did you have to phrase it like that?
We don't know what'll happen tomorrow.
If Alas Ramus really is part of the sephira Yesod from the Tree of Life...
Well, in simple terms,
the legendary Tree of Life is a tree in Heaven
that continuously creates the world.
The world?
Correct. The tree's ten fruits, called the "sephiroth,"
correspond to various components of the world.
For example, the ninth sephira, Yesod,
governs the ego and the astral, i.e. nonphysical, world.
Its number is 9, its metal is silver,
its color is purple, and its planet is the Turquoise Heaven.
Its guardian angel is Gabriel.
I don't get it. Boil it down to like, three sentences.
How is this too much for a former archangel?!
We should make allowances for Mr. Urushihara.
At any rate, if we believe the legends, then Gabriel's point is sound.
The components of the world that Yesod governs are in danger.
So as guardian angel, he needs Alas Ramus to maintain universal balance.
Oh, no... That means Alas Ramus has to go home.
Only if we believe the legends.
There is no physical proof that the Tree of Life is sustaining the world.
Do you really think one missing tree could doom a planet?
You're pretty businesslike about this stuff.
I highly doubt that the world will be in peril
if we don't return Alas Ramus to Heaven.
And yet, if an angel wants the shards of Yesod,
we're not currently in a position to resist.
This situation is absurd.
Do you really intend to pick a fight with Gabriel?
I'll just risk my life for my kid, the way any parent should.
Since when can the Devil talk about doing things for others?
I know. I figure I'm reaping what I sowed.
But I think the ones who died during my invasion of Ente Isla
probably would've put their lives on the line to save their kids.
If they could do it, surely the Devil himself can do it.
Whatever. Stop trying to sound all enlightened.
Now, then,
let's go to sleep.
Yeah!
Sure.
Let's—huh?!
Mama sleep with me! Mama!
Tell me something, Alciel.
No, I won't pay you rent for the night.
I'm not cheap enough to ask for that. I'm not you.
It's about the Devil's Army.
What made you want to conquer the world?
I don't think I understand that anymore.
That refrigerator is nice.
Pardon?
When you open it, the vegetables and milk you bought yesterday are inside.
You buy whatever else you need at the store,
you make good food, and you eat it.
I believe His Majesty and the rest of us invaded Ente Isla
because we wanted something like that.
It's all right if you don't understand.
We'll still work hard every day to get back to Ente Isla.
That includes you, Urushihara.
Eh, if I ever can work, I will.
Why, you...
What've you got there?
Picture!
You really like that, huh?
But if you hold it while you sleep, it'll get crumpled up.
Leave it by your pillow.
Aw...
Okay, lights out.
Oof.
Y-Y-You're too close!
Not by choice.
It ain't my fault Alas Ramus grabbed me.
Papa, tell a story!
You don't want one from Mama?
Mama tomorrow.
Let me see, how far did we get yesterday?
Trav'ler met an angel.
Ah, that's right. You've got a good memory.
The traveler was injured by the evil demons,
but then a kind angel saved him.
The angel told the traveler about lots of things he'd never heard of.
Tall mountains. Vast seas.
Kings and soldiers.
Stores and money, vegetables and fish,
God, the world of the stars...
One day, she gave the traveler a good-luck charm.
He treasured it as he set out on his journey once more.
Thanks to the stories and the good-luck charm,
the traveler eventually became a king and lived happily ever after.
Good night.
What happened to that traveler after he became king?
Did he never go back home, or search for the angel?
Jeez, it's just some story I made up to put the kid to sleep.
So what? I have to tell a story tomorrow, you know.
Give me some reference material.
Why did the traveler want another country when he was already king of his own?
He was supposed to be living happily ever after.
He probably got greedy once he had power.
If Alas Ramus wants another installment, I'll make one up.
Hey...
Good morning there.
Oof.
You've certainly come early.
Hey, now. Didn't I say we should talk this out?
You want my sacred sword, too.
Hold on. I don't want to compromise my goal of being Heaven's No. 1 Gentleman
by attacking a sleeping family, so I've been waiting patiently!
So just hear me out, yeah?
Wah, you just got my skin!
No "hero" has any right to be this good at brandishing swords at people!
Keep it down! It's only 5:00 AM.
What's the big—
Hey!
Good morning, King Satan.
Sorry to make such an awkward appearance so early.
It's too early for any appearance.
Papa...
I'll give it to you straight:
If you won't give me both the girl and the sword,
I'm fine with taking just one or the other for now.
See, the Yesod sephira I supervised was stolen quite a while ago.
And the thief broke it into lots of pieces and scattered them here and there.
Here...
And there.
The sacred sword is made of a Yesod shard?
Yeppers!
See that purple crystal it's got?
Give up. The sacred sword can't defeat me in its current form.
King Satan, is something the matter?
Now that you understand the situation, please grant my wish, okay?
King Satan!
Why won't the door open? A magical barrier?
Sire, tell us what's happening!
Sire! Sire!
What are you doing?!
Please don't take Alas Ramus.
Papa?
Look, this isn't gonna go like it did with that girl yesterday.
I'm ready to bargain, obviously.
How about you take my head instead?
Not a bad deal, right?
Don't be ridiculous!
I'm the one who'll defeat you.
Like I care about your preference!
Er, could you have the marital spat later?
We're not married!
Wow, you're in perfect sync!
You're the Devil—why are you so hung up on this kid?
She's a symbol of the hope I gained
when I was saved from death and reborn.
But somewhere along the way, I forgot about that and became a ruler of demons.
So please!
As I keep saying, she's Heaven's—
I know the legend of the ancient King Satan!
So I can't let her go with you. I don't want to.
Please, leave her with me for now...
Satan?
Right, change of plans.
I'm a pretty affable guy,
but after what you said, I've got no choice but to use force.
Sorry, but I'm going to dispose of King Satan right now.
I hate you a lot!
There you go being mean again.
You guys are liars. Malkuth told me!
You became gods cuz of lies!
You separated us! You locked us up!
And you bullied Papa and Mama!
I'll never forgive you!
Alas Ramus!
Divine Boots of Light!
The barrier is down.
Emilia!
Sire!
Are you all right?
Gabriel went...
What?!
Where are Emilia and Alas Ramus?
Get away from Alas Ramus!
Believe me, I'd love to!
I'm imagining things...
Alas Ramus, are you okay?
I'm clearly the one getting beat up here!
This is absurd!
You're pulling a sword on a little kid?!
Listen, I can't let my guard down with her just because I supervise her!
Be careful, Mama! That sword is really strong!
So that's Durandal, the sword of Gabriel.
Correct!
This thing is super tough. It can cut through anything.
Any trifling thing,
it just cuts.
As Yesod's supervisor, I can't let myself lose to a shard.
Suzuno, please take me up there.
Halt, human!
And King Satan!
You bastards...
We won't let you get in Gabriel's way!
Just who do you think you're talking to?
Are Gabriel's little pets really in a position to tell us off?
Get out of the way.
Wh-What just happened?
Forgot what kind of demon I am, huh?
I was the top archangel before I fell, you know.
You're really useful sometimes.
The "sometimes" was unnecessary. Now hurry up and go.
If you move against me, I'll be forced to fight back in earnest.
Hey, Mama.
What is it, Alas Ramus?
Will you be with Papa forever?
Do you love Papa, too?
I...
Hey! You're gonna tear my underwear!
Quit whining.
Didn't you say they were "ultra-durable"?
Yes, I'm sure I'll be with him.
Really?
Yes... till death do us part.
Take that!
Papa!
Let me go!
Emi! Kill us both!
Papa! Papa!
I can't do that in front of Alas Ramus, idiot!
Now's our only chance!
Satan!
Huh?
Alas Ramus, you...?
I'll be with Papa and Mama forever.
So just for now...
Bye-bye.
Are you all right?
Alas Ramus!
Sheesh, he's still alive. He's one stubborn Devil!
Ugh, what now?
Sorry, Gabriel,
but you're going home with Option 3.
Ah, yes, the Church gave you more than one piece of evolving heavenly silver.
I'll admit, I didn't predict this!
I see angel blood is red, just like ours.
Stand down, Gabriel!
I won't give up.
I'll collect all the shards of Yesod eventually.
I'm only letting you keep yours until then.
You've left them alone for centuries,
so why are you so desperate to collect them now?
Surprising! You're asking me that? Now?
Huh?
I suggest you take some time to reflect on exactly what sort of being you are...
And what this fight against me means.
You'll figure it out eventually.
And when you do...
Emilia! Are you all right?
I'm all right. And Gabriel is gone.
Hey, Emi. What about Alas Ramus?
No...
What am I supposed to do now?
Did you hear what happened this morning?
I went to the apartment.
Did she... get taken away?
If only I were stronger...
No, it's not your fault.
If I had enough power to fight Gabriel on my own,
this wouldn't have happened.
Please don't blame yourself.
Chi-sis, Mama, are you okay? You hurt yourself?
No, that's not it. It's our hearts that hurt...
Huh?
Chi-sis!
Alas Ramus?! How did you—
But you're okay! I'm so glad!
Wait, but Mr. Maou and the others were talking like she was gone...
I didn't expect this to happen, either!
Alas Ramus?!
Mama!
Huh?!
Huh?
So basically...
Alas Ramus ended up part of my sword and armor!
Do I look cool, Chi-sis?
Uh, yes, very cool.
Why haven't you told the others?
Mr. Maou was so depressed he couldn't work at all!
Really?
Well, I think this is a good chance
to show him a little of what it feels like to lose something precious.
More importantly...
The biggest problem is that when I defeat the Devil,
I'll be forcing Alas Ramus to kill her papa!
Argh! What do you think I should do?!
I'd prefer it if you got along...
But right now I think there's only one thing to do.
That fire again?
It's called a "sending-off fire."
Alas Ramus came to us during a "welcoming fire."
So, about that good-luck charm the traveler got from the angel...
The traveler remembered that it was precious, right?
I told you, I made that up.
If you can tell that story, you'll be able to cherish it this time.
Won't you?
Papa!
Alas Ramus?
Are you really Alas Ramus?!
Papa, tickles!
Well, now you know.
So he didn't take her with him? Really?!
I wanted to make you suffer a little more,
but Alas Ramus said she wanted to see you, so...
Wait, are you crying?!
Huh?
Papa, you hurt yourself?
It's okay. Papa is just happy to see you.
See? Sometimes we cry when we're happy.
Right, Mr. Maou?
I-I'm not cryin'!
I'm her dad!
I knew about this all along!
We already made her dinner for today, I'll have you know!
Hey, Ashiya! Suzuno!
Food! It's time for dinner!
A-A-Alas Ramus!
At once, Sire!
That was a pretty impressive bluff.
I hope you'll choose to prioritize the world's safety.
We wouldn't want a second coming of Demon King Satan's Calamity.
Demon King... Satan...
The kid and the sword fused! This totally sucks.
And we don't even know where the other wing is.
My beautiful wings are fluttering at the store across the street.
Sorry, sorry.
But really, isn't it obvious who has the other one?
Who stole Yesod in the first place?
Lailah.
You know—Emilia's mother.
