Summary[]
Ameri forces Iruma to read her manga to her. Their interactions get the attention of Asmodeus and Clara who try to figure out what's going on.
Plot[]
With Iruma's face squished between her hands, Ameri forces herself to calm down as she weighs the situation and what her next actions should be. With her position as the student council president, Ameri is determined not to let anything disturb the school.
Unfortunately, Iruma sees her determination as anger for being knocked over. He tries to move her hands so he can apologize but Ameri is quick to grab his wrists thinking he was trying to outsmart her. Iruma again apologizes as he bows, Ameri unintentionally copying his movement. When she does, her First Love Memories book slips from her pocket and lands between them. She tries to get it back, but Iruma is quicker and smiles at seeing the familiar series; having previously been part of the editing staff for it.
As Iruma describes several moments of the series with clear detail, Ameri is now sure that he is a human but stops when she realizes that Iruma can read the texts. Iruma confirms he can and mentions how he is surprised to find the manga in the Nether. He quickly stops realizing he's nearly given himself away and tries to come up with an excuse but sees Ameri is more interested in him translating a few of the panels that she drags him back to her office. Iruma is terrified that she may have figured out he's human but is surprised when she provides snacks and tea and sits in a chair asking him to read the book.
Realizing that demons can't read human language, Iruma understands why he is being asked to read it out loud. With each side concerned about his human nature, Ameri urges him to begin. While using voices for the characters, Iruma begins reading and giving Ameri clarification and explanation as to why certain characters were doing certain things or certain terms were being used.
When Iruma is done, Ameri is thrilled at now understanding everything that happened in the first book, but Iruma is slightly alarmed at realizing how dark it is and that he has numerous missed calls from Sullivan. Ameri takes his phone and enters her contact number in hopes that he will continue to read more of the series for her but warns him to never reveal that he is doing this for her.
Iruma soon departs, having found the whole thing confusing but fun at the same time. At the same time, Ameri is now certain that Iruma is human but feels she must still be cautious in the future. However, the numerous volumes still left to be translated, she decides she must study Iruma more to make sure that he is indeed human.
As he prepares for bed, Iruma receives a text message from Asmodeus. The demon alerts Iruma that the student council has been looking for him regarding the tree he created, and the student council president is looking for him. Unaware that Ameri is the president, Iruma wonders if he is in trouble.
One morning, Opera helps Iruma as he gets ready to leave for school when the demon asks if Iruma wishes to stay in the demon world or return to the human world. Iruma at first says he would like to back but hesitates when he realizes the differences in his lifestyle and relationships between the two worlds and questions himself on whether or not he wants to go back.
Opera explains their question by telling Iruma that those who possess a high rank are allowed to travel to the human world and Iruma will need to obtain a high enough rank to be able to do this as well but adds that if Iruma wishes to stay in the demon world he will need to be better prepared for such a life.
With the warning that Sullivan is bringing around the carriage, Iruma quickly runs off. It's not long when he locates Asmodeus and Clara who interpret his running as playing tag and continued physical training.
In the classroom, Clara climbs on top of a napping Sabnock and urges Iruma to do the same. Iruma politely turn down the offer when the sleeping Sabnock awakens and urges Iruma to join Clara. The teen asks for time to "prep" but returns to his thoughts about going back to the human world. Iruma sees that he has been caught up in the events that have taken place since coming to the Netherworld that he hasn't had the time to think about going back.
In her office, Ameri sends Iruma a message stating that she will be waiting for him to arrive. Once she does, she realizes that it may be unfair of her to ask him for readings so suddenly and recalls a moment from First Love Memories when Rin sends a message to Kakeru that she will be waiting for him after school. Ameri types out a message in the same cute manner but quickly stops herself from sending it out of embarrassment.
During lunch, Iruma is enjoying his meal and is completely unaware of Eiko watching him from behind a column. Iruma again recalls Opera mentioning how getting a high rank would allow him to return to the human world but is concerned this would bring more attention than he would want.
His thoughts are interrupted when Asmodeus approaches and offers him the rest of his lunch. Clara too attempts to share and stuffs a small loaf of bread into Iruma's mouth. Asmodeus then asks if something is bothering him as he had noticed Iruma appear distracted all day. The tall demon offers his help if Iruma needs it when Iruma receives Ameri's text message. He excuses himself and has to fend off his two friends who try to accompany him.
Iruma continues on alone and Sabnock notices Clara and Asmodeus immediately fall into frustration and depression. The two explain that Iruma has been going off on his own for the last several days but hasn't told them why. Sabnock suggests they simply follow him to find out what is going on. Asmodeus does not wish to intrude on Iruma's privacy but is forced to follow Clara when she immediately follows Sabnock's suggestion.
Ameri is in a meeting with the council but is so distracted by meeting with Iruma that she is not paying full attention to what is going on and calls the meeting to an end early. She is questioned about where she is going next. Ameri blurts that she is going on a date but quickly claims that it is the name of an extra round of patrol and leaves with the order to not be followed.
Elsewhere, Clara is running about the school looking for Iruma when Asmodeus calls out how she is not being sneaky in her approach and is bringing too much attention, something Clara says Asmodeus is no better at since girls continue to try to get his attention. He decides that they need to visit the school store to get detection warding glasses.
Outside Ameri's office, Iruma spots a winded Ameri arrive. Their interaction is noticed by Asmodeus and Clara. Clara immediately becomes upset at thinking Ameri is keeping Iruma's attention to herself, but Asmodeus thinks it could be more serious when he reveals Ameri is the president of the student council. Asmodeus believes that Iruma is scheming to have the school under his thumb by having Ameri submit power to him and thinks Iruma's actions of doing this alone was to keep his friends out of harms way. Not being able to stay back for long, Asmodeus decides they must get closer.
In the office, Iruma begins reading where they left off in volume five with Ameri adorably giving her full attention to him. Iruma reads about Rin revealing she has achieved her dream of using her strength to protect the one she cares about most and become a beautiful bride. Ameri sees dreams as being the same as the demon's version of ambition.
Iruma recalls how Sabnock is aiming to become the Demon King and asks Ameri if she has a dream. Ameri answers that she is proud to be a demon and her ambition is to see other demons have this same pride as her ultimate goal is to make the school the type of learning facility that any demon would desire to go to. She adds that she will be joining her father with his work once she graduates but shyly mentions that she would also like to work at a bakery or flower shop.
Ameri then asks Iruma what his ambitions are. Iruma states that he is satisfied with how he is able to spend time and have fun with his friends. Ameri points out that this is an ideal and not an ambition. She asks again what his ambition is, but Iruma goes silent.
