"Wait," Kalego walked up and took the microphone.
"The closing ceremony was supposed to be held at this time, but there is one more thing to report. The number of accidents during this Division exhibition was higher than in previous years. Among them, one Division, without reporting to the Teacher, unilaterally conducted a dangerous and exaggerated exhibition and successfully completed it. This is an incident that should have been punished, but if we ignore the overwhelming support within the school, it would violate the guidelines of the Division exhibition. Therefore, after discussion, it was decided to create a new award, the [Cunning Award]. The prize is that the representative can advance one rank. Let's all laugh at the fools who receive such an award. Come up quickly to claim your prize, Magic Tool Research Division!"
As soon as the announcement was made, there was a huge cheer. Iruma-kun also smiled, listening to everyone's cheers.
"Oh! My rival!"
"You succeeded, Iruma-kun, Lord Shesi."
"Hmm! Eh? Why are you three pushing me? Am I going? Actually, my brother can go too…"
Before Iruma-kun could finish, Shesi-kun directly pushed him forward.
"Why so much talk?"
Ultimately, Iruma-kun went on stage to receive the award. Kalego looked at the person who had been causing trouble since his enrollment and couldn't help but step forward.
"Honestly, I heard you worked very hard, but if something went wrong, it would have been a big deal. Couldn't you have reported it to me? You're too used to being in danger; you need to rely on the Teacher more… Idiot. Now, I bestow upon you Rank 3 [Gimel]." Kalego took the badge from Iruma-kun's collar, transformed it into Rank 3, and handed it to Iruma-kun.
"That's all, meeting adjourned!"
"Thank you!" Iruma-kun quickly bowed as Kalego walked away!
"Next, let's sing the school anthem together."
Sullivan accompanied on the side.
"Humans are all our food,
Devour their souls, blood, and flesh…"
Shesi-kun saw Iruma-kun's darkened face on stage and felt relieved that he hadn't gone up. Otherwise, singing a song about eating oneself, tsk tsk…
From then on, Iruma-kun became even more the center of attention!
Iruma-kun: Eh? At first, I think I wanted to be inconspicuous, right? How did it turn out the opposite of my initial thought?
Not far away, Asmodeus Amaryllis looked at Iruma-kun on stage.
"Is he Iruma-kun?"
Then, it returned to calm… or perhaps, not so calm.
"Ah, he's Iruma-kun!"
"The one who made the Fireworks?"
"Yes, ah, he's shy, so cute~"
In the parlor:
"So you already knew he was problematic," Ameri said, looking at Shesi-kun, who was holding a book opposite her.
"Hmm, I observed him more carefully," Shesi-kun didn't know what to say, afraid Ameri would press him, so he quickly explained. He couldn't possibly say, "At first glance, I knew he wasn't human," could he? And he wasn't human to begin with; he was a demon.
Meanwhile, Iruma-kun had just finished eating and was leaving the cafeteria. As Iruma-kun walked down the corridor, he suddenly felt as if someone was following him. He turned around and saw a tall figure.
"You are Iruma-kun, right? I have something to say to you. Could I trouble you to come with me?"
"Yes…" (Keyword triggered)
The two arrived at a bench on the school's edge lawn.
Iruma-kun secretly glanced at the demon beside him. He felt very familiar, as if he had seen him somewhere before. At that moment, the demon also turned to look at Iruma-kun. Their eyes met, and Iruma-kun instantly turned his head away.
"What a strong aura…"
"My name is Asmodeus Amaryllis."
"Eh? So familiar…? Who was it again?" Iruma-kun was still pondering.
Asmodeus Amaryllis, meanwhile, looked at Iruma-kun and recalled the incident a few days ago with Sullivan at the Border Control. Originally… after Sullivan received the arrow, he was supposed to leave the Border Control, but somehow, he broke through the blockade and the arrow went directly into Sullivan's hand. Sullivan glanced at the note on the arrow and wanted to leave.
"Lord Sullivan, the investigation is not over yet. You cannot leave."
"But you have no evidence, right? I apologize for this time."
"Lord Sullivan."
"I said I'm going back."
Just as they were about to go forward to stop him, Sullivan fixed them with a stare. Asmodeus Amaryllis had never thought that the gentle Sullivan could scare him into immobility with just a look. Asmodeus Amaryllis had never felt his body so heavy, so heavy that he couldn't even utter a refusal, as if his lips were sealed.
"I'm sorry, after all, I promised to go back and participate in the Division exhibition. I've made plans with Iruma-kun and Shesi-kun."
"Indeed, just as the report said, this person is the human Lord Sullivan abducted from the Human World," Asmodeus Amaryllis thought to himself.
Suddenly, a pair of large hands cupped Iruma-kun's face. Poor Iruma-kun dodged Ameri's, but not Ameri's father's.
Then Asmodeus Amaryllis began to circle around Iruma-kun.
"No injuries, no wounds, no abnormalities…"
"That?"
Asmodeus Amaryllis came to his senses.
He accidentally got hands-on, but the contact was successful. He would gently and slowly let him ask for help himself, otherwise, he couldn't provide protection… Thinking this, Asmodeus Amaryllis opened his mouth and asked Iruma-kun:
"Please keep what I'm about to say confidential. I have actually encountered a human before."
"A human?" Iruma-kun looked at Asmodeus Amaryllis in surprise.
However, this reaction further confirmed to Asmodeus Amaryllis that this person must be human.
"You caught one? A human?"
"Hmm, the upper half was sent to the lab, and the lower half was eaten in a hot pot with colleagues that day."
Iruma-kun:!!!
"Just kidding."
"Uh…"
"If a human appears in the Demon World, who knows what might happen. Currently, the number of atavistic demons is increasing, and it's very dangerous for humans to stay here. So, I protected that human and sent him back to the Human World. Through proper procedures, he can return to the Human World immediately. I erased all of that person's memories of the Demon World and sent him home. So, Iruma-kun, if you need help…"
"Eh? Father," suddenly a voice interrupted their conversation.
Azazel Ameri ran over.
Seeing Ameri, Iruma-kun suddenly clapped his hands.
"No wonder you seemed familiar; so you're the President's father!"
"Ameri? What are you doing here?"
"Ah, I was taking a walk with Shesi-kun."
Asmodeus Amaryllis paused. Oh right, Sullivan had abducted two, but Iruma-kun was so conspicuous that the other one wasn't as famous, it seemed… Wait? Walking? Two people?
"Ah, I haven't introduced you yet. This is my father, who works at the Border Control. Father, this is Shesi-kun."
"Hello, Uncle," Shesi-kun greeted politely.
"Oh, it seems you two have a very good relationship?"
"Shesi-kun summoned a familiar just like the Demon King at the beginning of the school year, and he also created something amazing at the Division exhibition. Father, you must have seen it; it was that thing that bloomed in the sky, called Fireworks. In short, Shesi-kun is a very excellent demon."
Asmodeus Amaryllis glanced at Ameri and then spoke.
