But I never thought the day would come
when I'd be gaming with Asmodeus one on one like this.
Hey, Azz, you, uh--
He's come a long way since we first started school.
So anyway, why did you want to game with me all of a sudden?
Well, I promised Master Iruma
that I'd play this game with him when it releases,
so I must hone my skills in preparation for that day.
This game is a lot of fun.
Let's play it together!
Getting used to a variety of games before then
is the best way to improve.
I should have known this had to do with Iruma.
I guess that just makes me your training dummy.
Something along those lines, yes.
But, you know, you're putting way too much
focus on attacking when you should
be thinking of defending.
But blocking and using small attacks are so tedious.
Winning that way would take forever.
Exactly!
That's what makes it so fun.
Slowly chipping away at your opponent's HP is the best part.
Want me to teach you how to effectively
defeat your opponent?
You can even call me "Professor" if you want.
I gotcha.
Excuse me?
Oh, nothing.
Sorry about that.
By the way, Az-Az, what were you like when you were little?
Hm?
Huh?
[LEAD] No offense,
but I just don't get the vibe that you're someone
who played games as a kid.
Yes, well, my home environment
didn't really allow for such frivolities.
Wait, I didn't think he'd talk about it.
No way.
For as long as I can remember,
I've always been praised for being gifted.

Every day I trained diligently,
honing my abilities
and living my life as a demon who highly valued etiquette.
It was always quite chaotic whenever my mother was around.
[STUDENT 3] Hey, look.
That's the new It, boy.
[STUDENT 4] It's Lord Asmodeus.

my immediate surroundings being very quiet.

In fact, I actually preferred it that way.

I tend to find myself lost and confused.

Oh, then did you happen to invite me
over today because you want me to teach you

Of course, that's not

That's not it.
Sure, man.
As the heir apparent of the Asmodeus family
and Master Iruma's spear and best friend,
I must ensure my actions never bring shame.
Although there may have been the occasional moment where
I noticed the closeness you share
with Master Iruma is different from what we have together,
and that may or may not make me feel just the slightest,
tiniest bit jealous.
So I got it into my head that if I
could become more of a commoner like other demons,
then maybe I would be able to converse
more freely with Master.
Look, man, I hear you, but--
Hm?
- from my point of view, Az-Az,
you're actually a pretty normal kid.
Know what I mean?
Mm.
Just look at yourself.
You're the class rep and annoyingly handsome.
Also, you started off at rank Daleth,
which is pretty sweet in its own right.
But still, whenever you're with Iruma and Clarine,
you're just another normal, energetic classmate.
