Episode Release Date: 5th October 2019

During a storm on the oceans around Japan, a tuna fishing boat was fighting the waves and the winds of the weather. Inside the boat were three people making sure that the cages of tuna were in shape and the fish don't fall off. "Iruma, Ryūko! I'm leaving this to you two!" Said a worker to a boy and girl people with blue hair, "Don't let it fall apart!". "Yes sir!" Replied the two. "If this falls apart, I'm docking half of your pay." Stated the other worker before leaving off.

Suzuki Iruma and Ryūko, 14 years old, are both forced to work on a tuna fishing boat. To put it simply, their parents are a bunch of scumbugs who refuse to work, so they have to work instead. Iruma pushes one of the large tuna fishes back in its cage panting. "We won't be able to get by with only half of our pay." Said Iruma. Ryūko, the one with a case of complete heterochromia, has her blue left eye shut as she pushes two fishes back before closing the cage. She brings back her third and fourth finger to produce a strand of silk sealing the cages above her before saying: "Watashitachi no kyūryō wa sore hodo waruku arimasenga, soreha jōdan no yō ni kanjimasu! Watashitachi no ryōshin ga kono yō ni watashitachi o okizari ni suru nante shinjirarenai!"

[Japanese Romaji:

"Our pay isn't too bad, but it feels like a f****** joke! I can't believe our parents would just leave us out like this!"]

Iruma looks at his sister's anger and hatred of their parents in her blue and red eyes, he knows how much she feels about being forced to work. Before he knew it, a fish fell out of its cage, then came more fish raining down on them from the cages. Ryūko jumps and throws some of the falling fish back behinds their steel bars while sealing them with her silk. Now how is this possible? Well 4 minutes before Iruma was born, she came out of her mother's womb in a soft silk cocoon. No research has been done about this as it may be to harsh to do since Ryūko was just born. Doctors say it might be some kind of abnormal genetic and few others say its a demon-like gentetic.

A bigger tuna was falling towards Iruma face first and Ryūko swiftly moved in front of him to take the hurting for her brother. Somehow, everything pauses before them. It was strange, then the Suzuki twins found themselves tied up in front of a tall man with horns on the side of his head. With a small hand movement two sheets of paper stuck to their bindings with the word "sold". "Sold? Wh-Wh What... What is going on?" Stammered Iruma. "I won't give a damn doubt that we're sold off by a certain couple." Thought Ryūko.

The twins along with the stranger faded away to a world, one that has never been seen by anyone's eyes. "W-Where are we? Who are you?" Asked Iruma timidly.

The abducter was replying with an unknown language which both of the bluenettes don't understand until a snap of his fingers came out. "I made it so you can understand the demon language." Said the stranger, "Suzuki Ryūko and Iruma, this is the Netherworld." "Wait a minute, Iruma. I read about this realm." Said Ryūko, "The Netherworld is known to be the realm of demons." "Correct, young lady." Commented the person, who Ryūko thinks is a demon. "Demo- We can understand you." Pointed out Iruma. "Yes, I did put a spell on you both." Said the winged stranger.

"A-A spell?"

"Well, of course I can use spells. I'm a demon."

"And crap yes, I figured you were a demon." Said Ryūko monotoneously. "A demon?!" Questioned Iruma in a panicked tone. "Indeed, a demon. My name is Sullivan." Introduced the demon, "Ryūko, Iruma, your parents sold your souls to me." Sullivan laughs to himself which frightens Iruma. "Our parents sold our souls to a demon? They would never-" "He's right you know. Our parents would really forsake us." Pointed the odd-eyed female. Iruma is then left with a sullen expression on his face whereas Ryūko stays emotionless. "Yeah, Onē-chan's right." Thought Iruma, "They totally would." The three were approaching an imposing castle nearby, which Sullivan informs them that's his mansion. Iruma now scared of the next thing, starts to panic asking: "Wh-What are you going to do with us!?" Ryūko tries to calm down her screaming brother though she would be lying if she said that she wasn't scared even one chill. The twins thought that something bad was before them, but it turns out, nothing bad.

They were seated on a throne-like chair oddly wearing bibs around their necks with Sullivan positioned in front of them holding both of their hands. "Won't you be my grandchildren?" Asked Sullivan. "Huh?!" Blurted Ryūko and Iruma in unison. "You see. I've been single all this time. It's always been my dream to have a grandchild." Explained Sullivan as he hugs himself. "A grandchild/Pardon me?" Asked the Suzukis at once. Sullivan hold their hands again before saying: "I've been so jealous of Levy and Belial bragging about their grandkids! I'll buy you two anything you want, and I'll spoil you both to death! So please, please? You'll be my grandchildren, right?"

Oddly confusing, Ryūko and Iruma were sold to Sullivan. How can they have the rights to say no? "B-But we're sold to you, right?" Asked Iruma. "Do we both have the rights to decline?" Added Ryūko. "I'll respect your wishes." Said Sullivan before turning his head away, "You both can say no if you really want to." Ryūko sweatdrops at her younger twin brother who is wondering what he should do since he has never refused refused anyone in all his and her years. Indeed, Suzuki Iruma is a complete pushover. Whenever he's asked to do something, and when he isn't asked at all, even in ridiculous situations, he will accept anything and can't decline. He's such a pushover that even he finds it sad. Especially like this for Ryūko, his beloved 4-minute elder sister. If she asks him a favor, he'll do it in a heartbeat.

As Ryūko may be the colder opposite of Iruma, but it never changes her inner self. She's the mature, kind and suportive sister, so instead of troubling him with favors which she can do independantly, she would rather assist him at every possible moment, even doing some impossible things he can't do. Nonetheless, he's all of her blood-related family that she has and loves him more than other people around her. She grows up beginning to develop a cold and protectively ruthless personality as she grows a deep hatred of her blood-related parents since long ago. "But the, this situation is pretty insane." Whispered Iruma in Ryūko's ear, "Most people would say no, right?" "In particular, most would definately decline the offer." Whispered Ryūko, "But if we do have the right to say no..." The two then face up to Sullivan but he cuts them off before they could say anything else, clinging onto them. "! That's exactly why I'm putting all I have into this request!" Said the demon, "I beg of you two! Think of it as helping out a dying old man, Ryūko-chan and Iruma-kun! Please!!!"

Uh-oh. It looks like the three words Iruma can never decline came up. The words that Iruma stands no chance against are: 1) Please, 2) Help, 3) I beg of you. Iruma has the habit of just accepting anything after fourteen years of misforute. Since Iruma was literally forced to sign the contract, Ryūko takes some of her blood onto the signature stamp before signing the contract. She might not have much of another option, but from childhood, she vows to be at Iruma's side and protect him at whatever cost, including her own life or soul to sacrifice fiercely. She pats on Iruma's back as she pulls him closer to her. "It's alright. You have me and I'll keep my vow to be by your side until death do us apart." Whispered Ryūko while hugging her brother tightly. Iruma hugs back and puts his face on her right shoulder.

"Well, now that's settled..." Said Sullivan. He snaps his fingers as the room around then changes. "Wh- Wh- What is all this?" Asked Iruma getting a hold of himself. "Well, you two are my first precious little grandchildren!" Said Sullivan, "Your food, clothing, shelter and..." With another soind of his fingers, Iruma now is wearing a blue suit with white trimming and a red bow securing his collar. Ryūko's outfit consists of a white short-sleeved sailor shirt with a red trim, a red skirt, and a red bow tied around the collar. "Wh- What is this? Asked Ryūko. "Your education!" Said Sullivan as she happily claps his hands, "You two look so perfect! And adorable! I'm going to enroll you both in a demon school." "A demon school?" Wondered Iruma aloud. "You both were forced to start working at a young age because of your parents and didn't really get to go to school right?" Cried Sullivan before regaining composure, "But have no fear! All the paperwork has been taken care of! I am your grandpa, after all!" Ryūko seemed to giggle at his happiness towards her and Iruma before asking: "Can I just call you "grandfather" if that works too?". "Grandpa?" Mumbled Iruma. "That sounds so wonderful!

"Grandpa" or even "Grandfather"!" Shivered Sullivan with joy as Ryūko seems amused by his behaviour, "Let's take a picture together on your first day!"

Iruma was about to ask something, but Sullivan went to give them a hinter. "There's never been a human enrolled in this school, but you guys won't get eaten if they don't find you're human." "" Panic-asked Ryūko and Iruma in fright. Sullivan overdoses them with a perfume. "Thanks to this perfume, you two won't smell like a human anymore, so don't worry." "U-Um...you know I'm actually..." "I'm so relieved that you're such good kids, Iruma-kun and Ryūko-chan." Said Sullivan going another direction, "If you had declined.. I'd have no choice but to have you both for dinner tonight." This scared the heart out of the Suzukis. Sullivan asks if there was something that they wanted to say, but Iruma and Ryūko oblige that it's nothing. Sullivan leads Ryūko to another room next to Iruma's and snaps his fingers to make the room resemble Iruma's bedroom, but with a more gothic scheme. Sort of like this:

"You and Iruma get up early tomorrow for your first day." Said Sullivan patting Ryūko's head, "Make sure you get plenty of sleep. Goodnight." "Yes, goodnight to you as well, Granfather." Said Ryūko before the door closes.

Sullivan happily walks down the hallway before being stopped by a burgundy-haired cat demon. "You take your whims too far." Said the feline demon. "Opera." "You could've adopted all the demons you wanted." Said Opera, "Why would you bother adopting a couple of humans as your grandchildren. What were you thinking?" "Nothing really." Said Sullivan, "You'll understand someday, Opera. I'm so excited for tomorrow!" Sullivan seemingly dodges Opera's objection and walks along the hallway as Opera is left to a sigh.

Iruma tells himself that this whole situation has to be a dream. But as dawn breaks the next day, he realises that it was all a reality. Sullivan and Ryūko in her uniform came to his doorstep. "Good morning, Iruma-kun." Greeted Sullivan. "Good morning to you, brother." Greeted Ryūko with a bow, "Slept well last night?" "Y-Yeah. What about you?" Asked Iruma. "I slept really well. Wish I could stay there a little more, that was so cozy." Joked Ryūko with a smile.

After some preparations, it's finally time for demon school. Sullivan is quite peppy and excited for his two new grandkids. "Oh, I'm so happy." Exclaimed Sullivan, "My grandchildren's first day of school! Ryūko-chan, Iruma-kun, stand next to that." He was refering to a green stand nearby with an unknown language on it. Sullivan solves their problem wih another spell, the sign in their vision says "Entrance Ceremony". "Thank goodness we'll be able to read and hear demon language in Japanese with this spell on us." Thought Ryūko. Iruma made an awkward peace sign, Ryūko made a peace sign behind Iruma's head and Sullivan forms a six with his fingers as Opera takes a photo of them. Sullivan then jumps around with excitement saying: "Oh, I'm so happy! My grandchildren's first day of school! Their first little bags! So innocent! So pure!"

Ryūko and Iruma walk with Opera towards the school, going by the name of Babyls. What amazes the bluenettes is the massive flock of demons flying to the school with black wings. Scary yet impressingly cool sight on the first day. Sullivan inform them that he'll have something to do, Opera takes his leave before Ryūko and Iruma go passed four demons. "Hey, you two." Called one of the four. Remembering Sullivan's words from the previous night, Iruma think that he and Ryūko would be found out and eaten, but no. "The auditorium is that way." Said the same demon pointing to a certain direction. "Oh, thank you. Sorry for the bother." Said Ryūko being taken by the hand of relieved Iruma. "Thank goodness. They didn't figure out we're human!" Whispered Iruma to his sister. She agrees with a nod as they went to the auditorium.

Speaking of, the auditorium is full of various demons from every shape and size. That doesn't make anything better for Iruma being scared. "Hey, doesn't something smell really good?" Asked one furry demon to another one nearby. "Eeeep! Don't stand out... Don't stand out." Thought the human boy with fright. Ryūko ruffles her brother's hair before saying: "Don't worry, Iruma. Whatever happens, you have your elder sister here by your side to guide and protect you." Iruma elicits a smile from Ryūko's words of reassurement. Ryūko overhears various conversations that seem like normal one from the human world, such as hopes to be in the same class and someone waving to her family.

A demon, who might be a teacher steps forward to the microphone. "Thank you for waiting. It's 6:06 A.M. We will now formally begin the entrance ceremony for the demon school Babyls." Annouced the teacher. Another demon, who supposingly is a senior classman, tells everyone to rise and sing the school song. Here's how it goes.

"Humans only exist to be our food

Suck them dry, soul, blood, flesh and all

Tremble at the sound of black wings as we take flight

For we are demons

As this song pours forth from our red lips

Scream for us, for we are demons"

Quite a scary yet beautiful song to Ryūko's ears, despite it saying that demons are superior to humans. "Next is a greeting from our director." Said the same teacher being them emcee. Now, many are excited and saying that the director might be the next Demon King. Iruma is qondering if the Demon King rules over all demons and Ryūko states that he's right. "Ryūko-chan, Iruma-kun!" Called a familiar voice. "Huh?" Blurted out Ryūko as she and Iruma look up to the stage, seeing their grandfather waving to them. "Crap! Grandfather's the director!!!" Cursed Ryūko mentally. This made all the other demons become curious about them. "Yes, indeed! My grandchildren now go to this school! They're just so adorable!" Said Sullivan. Well, he's not wrong about his friends bragging about their grandchildrean and him being jealous of them. "Please don't say anything weird!" Mentally screamed Iruma. Sullivan then shows the photo of him and the Suzukis a minute ago. "F*** damn it! Our cover's blown up to every demon in this school!!!" Mentally cursed Ryūko again with a facepalm. "I'll make sure everyone gets a copy later." Said Sullivan. "No one wants that!!!" Thought Iruma now embarrassed. "Okay, that's all I have to say so... Bye!" Finished their grandpa taking his leave.

"Next, we have a greeting from the representatives of the new students." Said the emcee teacher. Hearing that, two demons; a tall male demon with light pink hair wearing mostly white and a slightly shorter female cat demon with dark purple hair, matching external cat features wearing a lavender dress of armour; walk towards the stage. "Aren't those the ones who scored the highest of the entrance exam?" Questioned a demon. "They got a perfect score!" Cheered another student. "Seriously? Are they geniuses?" Questioned one other. "The representatives of the new students, Asmodeus-kun and Félin-chan." Announced the emcee. Ryūko notices that all the demon girls are fawning over Asmodeus whereas more of the demon boys are flaunting over Félin, some complimenting, some even wanting either representatives to curse them. Everyone's attention was shifting to them until...

"Huh? What? Giving the greeting in their places are... The honor students, Ryūko-chan and Iruma-kun." Rephrased the emcee so suddenly. "Why, though?!" Yelled Iruma and Ryūko in their heads. Sullivan sneakily gives them a thumbs-up. "Ah! I knew it!" Realised the two. Ryūko seems to look emotionless, but inwardly is shocked by the sudden flow twist of the ceremony. "We should get up there, Iruma." Whispered Ryūko, "Otherwise, we'll be marked as suspicious." Iruma nods in defeat before the two make their way to the stage.

Many are noticing how both humans are not even shaking of anxiety and say that they have guts. Ryūko inhailed and exhailed before making up her mind. "Good morning to all new students of Babyls." Greeted Ryūko, "As demons, the pride of our race, regardless of physical, mental or emotional features, is the reason that we should all be proud of our race as a demon. However, to nuture yourselves further and to achieve a long-awaited grasp of your ambition, that is the reason we are all here enrolled to Babyls. For sure you are students, but that never changes the fact that you're still demon; no matter whatever doubts or comments others may cast upon you. Don't think that school should be a place to leisure with friends; school should be a place of education, the education needed for our future and our ambitions. If you aske what do I want, I want to achieve the best of my years as a student. If you don't know where to start, !" What a speech! Previously, Ryūko participates in debate and public speaking as she wants to gain the confidence to speak up towards others whether it's a speak or debate. Everyone in the auditorium was applauding from Ryūko's speech, except for two particular demons; the male demon from earlier gritted his teeth in anger while the female cat girl tells him to settle this once the ceremony is done.
