[NARRATOR] Iruma and the other misfits
were victorious at the Music Festival.
They all successfully ranked up to Dalet,
brilliantly overcoming their trial.
Meaning, they are free to continue
occupying the Royal One.
Now that all the first year events have been completed,
will Iruma and the rest of the Misfit Class
get to enjoy some well-deserved relaxation?
[theme music]
♪ ♪
[CLASS] Behind those eyes.
[sighs] Unbelievable.
It may be a party, but those fools are going overboard.
Iruma, whip out your bow, bud.
I want to see. - Huh?
The one Barbatos trained you to use.
I bet the bow of a demon whose rank He is devi-awesome.
Honestly, could they be any more thoughtless?
OK, I just gotta grab some feathers from our battler--
whoa.
[inaudible] You're captured.
1, 2.
Yes, I shall go fetch the feathers!
Once master is free, there will be no shortage of demons
trying to steal him away.
He is rank He now.
Who wouldn't want to bask in his magnificent glory?
That's my master, Iruma.
Although that does mean our ranks don't match anymore.
Right, I must catch up to master immediately.
Hmm?
Is someone inside?
[laughing]
Schenell, you degenerate, are you messing around in here
without permission again--
huh?
It's you, Kirio?
Ah.
Asmo--
[gasps]
Come now, pull yourself together.
Kirio.
[NARRATOR] Though it's been some time,
you may recall this demon is Kirio Amy.
Kirio Amy is the trio's upperclassmen
who once attended Babyls.
His reason for living,
witnessing the despair of others.
Get it?
Seeing that despair is what makes life worth living.
[NARRATOR] In pursuit of his desire,
Kirio sought to blow up the students of Babyls,
and witness the look of despair
on their family's faces.
However, that plan was put to an abrupt end
by the boy who never despairs--
Iruma.
[KIRIO] All right, Iruma, you got me.
It's a shame the chaos will have to wait,
but I still truly had lots of fun.
Let's play again sometime, OK?
[NARRATOR] Kirio was arrested and thrown
into the prison underneath Walter Park,
but managed to escape.
Asmodeus and Clara have no idea about any of this.
[KIRIO] Sorry about that.
I was just surprised.
It's fine.
Your constitution is still as weak as ever, I see.
I had no idea Kirio had returned.
There's so much I'd like to ask him.
Why has he been absent, and where has he been?
So--
Well, the thing is, Kirio was--
let's just say he's gone.
I'll tell you everything later.
Sure.
Well--
Oh, by the way,
the Magical Apparatus Battler's all spruced up.
The layout's changed a bit, but I can tell
y'all have taken good care of it.
Thanks so much.
I reckon this whole place would have been shut down altogether.
Well, Master Iruma saved it with a lot of hard work.
Iruma did, eh?
[ASMODEUS] Yes.
You haven't been here for some time,
so a lot has happened while you were away.
Most notably, after our recent victory in the Music Festival,
Master Iruma has risen to rank He.
He will surely lead the netherworld into a new age.
Wow, that's amazing.
In that case, you must be his guiding light.
Guiding light?
[KIRIO] You're always by Iruma's side,
illuminating his path with your flames.
I'm sure he's able to keep moving forward
because he has you there with him.
If so, it's an honor to be his light.
[gentle music]
You know, if you have some time,
you should come see Master Iruma.
I'm sure he would be delighted to see you.
You don't say.
I'd very much like to see Iruma myself.
[whooshing]
[tense music]
Careful.
You might burn someone.
[ASMODEUS] I remember once during my training
with Master Balam.
He showed me exactly what happens
to demons who have succumbed to their evil cycle.
Their eyes were the same as yours.
For what reason would a depraved demon
like you need to get anywhere near Master Iruma?
Explain yourself!
[PORO] Good Lord.
I've been feeling an icky presence ever since I got here.
Girlies are sensitive to that sort of thing, you know.
But now I see you're to blame.
I was having such a pleasant walk,
and you just had to ruin my good vibes.
You really suck at flirting.
And while I do love me a forward man,
being clingy is so not it.
Now, who are you again,
the six nuggies, was it?
The Six Fingers, actually.
[NARRATOR] The Six Fingers,
a criminal organization
suspected of being involved in all kinds of evil deeds.
In fact, they were the group who facilitated the events
that led to Kirio's escape from the underground prison
at Walter Park.
But behind Kirio and the Six Fingers,
the puppet master pulling the strings is Thunderlord Baal.
My apologies for disguising myself
and following you around.
Oh, devi, it looks like you made me chip a nail.
I'll have to go get them painted again.
[WETT] Would you be interested?
It involves the revival of Lord Derkila.
[intriguing music]
[smashing noise]
[grunting]
[PORO] How dare you fix your mouth to speak of a revival?
You make it seem as though Lord Derkila is no longer living
amongst us in the netherworld.
Uttering such falsehoods about the benevolent supreme being
that is our current Demon King shall be considered treason
of the highest order.
In accordance with His Majesty's sound,
the droning cadence of that traitorous heartbeat of yours
must be silenced immediately,
you insolent brat.
Plus that revolting sound of yours,
it's creeped me out since the moment we met.
[intense music]
♪ ♪
[ASMODEUS] I can't break it.
From what I remember, Kirio's magical reserves
should be minuscule.
So how in the netherworld did he put up
a barrier of this caliber?
You seem quite perplexed there.
See, this mana I'm using is borrowed.
Borrowed how?
[KIRIO] My big bro fixed me up with a new focus.
It serves as a reminder of what happened
that day so I never forget.
It's in the shape of a ring, just like the one Iruma wears.

[ASMODEUS] Those eyes again.
Why are you after Master Iruma?
No.
It doesn't matter why you're after him.
The only way that you will ever get your hands on Master
is by stepping over my dead body!
Look at you.
So pure of heart.
You're as pure as the driven snow and absolutely clueless.
It's OK, though.
You just keep on admiring Iruma as a magnificent
He ranked demon, and keep seeing the parts of him
that you want to see.
Because I,
I'm gonna expose the part of him
he desperately wants to keep hidden.

Well, good work.
He should have asked you to handle this.
So how did things go on your end?
Were you able to find what you were looking for?
Nuh-uh.

next time,
I'll make sure to take it back with me.

Don't you think, Ali?
He hasn't been responding lately.
I wonder if he's sleeping again like before.

Iruma obtained the Gluttonous Feeder Ring.
The mysterious being that lives within the ring
goes by the name Ali.
He's formerly known as--
Alikred.

I'd love to chat with you, Ali.
Oh, Ali.
Yo, Lil'Iru, sounds like the Music Festival went well.
Great job winning.
Mm-hmm.
And I also went up to rank He, and--
Sorry, Lil'Iru, it seems our chat will have to be cut short.
Huh?
I wanted to watch over you as your tiny companion
for a bit longer, but...
Why are you leaving?
Ali, don't go.
Wait for me.
Come back.
Please.
Ali!
You rang?
Hello.
You're huge!
Ali, but you're so big.
Relax, boy-o, I'm still your same Ali.
But you can call me Ali 2.0.
Ali 2.0?
[ALIKRED] All right, looky here.
[IRUMA] Sleeping Ali of the Feeder Ring?
[ALIKRED] After your promotion to Dalet rank,
I was overcome with a bizarre urge to sleep,
sort of like Sleeping Beauty when
she was put under that spell.
But then
a loud sound came out of nowhere and woke me up.
[inaudible]
And before I knew it, my Lil'Iru was rank He.
I'd wager that's why I can feel some devi-duty power
coursing through me now.
It's like I emerged as a beautiful butterfly
and was born anew.
Now I feel as though I can do all kinds of things.
Thanks, Lil'Iru.
I know some new spells, too.
What's with you?
Huh?
Oh, I'm just so relieved, you know.
And I'm a bit surprised, too, of course,
but I sort of thought you'd disappeared on me.
Lil'Iru, listen.
You and I aren't family,
and I'm not one of your friends either.
I'm also not your teacher, nor your lover.
[IRUMA] Yeah, I know that.
[ALIKRED] But without each other, neither of us
can survive in this netherworld we call home.
We are unique partners.
And I'd never leave you.
After all, the two of us are inseparable.
Yeah, definitely.
Thanks, Ali.
But I'll stay my usual size for the most part.
You can do that?
Oh, hey, I just noticed,
you aren't tethered to the ring anymore.
What?
Be right back, Lil'Iru, I'm going out.
Ali, wait!
Oh, yeah!

Looks like there's a limit to how far away you can go.
Yeah, we really are inseparable.
