Episode Release Date: 17th January 2020

At the front entrance of the Battler Party, Ryūko and her group (excluding Kiriwo at this minute) were talking about their aim for the Grand Prize. "The Grand Prize?" Asked Asmodeus and Lavande. "Indeed." Nodded Ryūko, "So, Iruma and I were wondering... if you all would be of assisstance. Like you said before, Asmodeus-san: That is the same as my ambition to achieve the best as a student." Speechless, yet so moved, Asmodeus shedded tears and Lavande smiled warmly as she went down on her knee. "" Exclaimed the two top freshmen befire Asmodeus grasped onto Iruma's hands, "I couldn't/cound not stand that some cretins had the nerve to say your Battler was just storage space! " "Sounds fun!" Said Clara, "Let's go all kablooey!" "Thank you, all of you." Thanked Ryūko.

Kiriwo was in front of the firework launchpad and saw the rest of his Battler coming in. "Heya!" Waved Kiriwo. "Senpai! Good morning!" Greeted the five as they bowed to the upperclassmen. "Good morning." Greeted Kiriwo back, "It's finally time." "Indeed. Our desinated target to fire our ambitious arrows is the Grand Prize!" Said Ryūko, "Let us fully devote ourselves to this Battler and do whatever it takes to obtain it!" And with the objective set, the Magical Apparatus Battler was going to give the fireworks display their all.

It was finally time for the Party Eve. Since the Magical Apparatus Battler's firework show begins after sundown, there's lots of time to kill by venturing around the party. "Our show begins after sundown." Said Asmodeus, "Let's scout the other Battlers as we walk around the venue." "Capital idea, Sir Asmodues." Agreed Lavande. "Sure." Replied Iruma. Clara came back to the group in as a pink Come-Come: the school's storekeeper. "Let's wear disguises!" Said Clara, "I have some for all of you." "A pink Come-Come?" Wondered Iruma while Ryūko tilted her head to one side in curiousity. "That'll make us stand out even more!" Said Asmodeus. "Everyone, put these on!" Instructed Clara. "This defeats the purpose of our scouting!" Objected the fire demon. "Put them on!" Repeated Clara. "" "I suppose the real storekeeper would like the idea." Said Lavande.

Indeed he was, the real Come-Come was flattered as he said: "My, how fresh." "Well, I'm gonna conserve my energy." Said Kiriwo, "I'll leave the scoutin' to you." "Are you sure you want to miss out what our rivalling Battlers will intend?" Asked Ryūko. "I'll be fine, Ryūko-chan." Reassured Kiriwo as he patted Ryūko's head, "You guys have fun, okay?" "S-Sure. I-If that's w-what you wish for, A-Amy-senpai." Stammered Ryūko with a light pink hue on her face as Kiriwo left the others to their scouting, "H-He just patted my head! This guy keeps on making me fall for him, I love him so much! Ahhhh!" "Lady Ryūko, are you alright?" Asked Lavande, "You seem to be heating up." "O-Oh. I'm fine, Lavande-san." Replied Ryūko back to normal, "I seem to have fancied someone." "I see." Said Lavande, "Well, let us begin our walk."

The Suzuki twins just so happened to pass by the enthusiastic Yakisoba Battler, and the ogre-sized yakisoba they just whipped up caught their sights. "Perhaps you want to try, Onē-chan?" Asked Iruma. "I'll take my chances." Replied Ryūko, "Pardon us. We'd like that yakisoba of yours." The yellow wolf-like demon leaned close to them and mocked: "You're actually going to try and eat it? Huh?" This irked Ryūko and she nudged her elbow on Iruma's shoulder with a smirk, Iruma understood her body language. The yellow demon laughed, but when he saw how they consumed that enormous portion of yakisoba in only a few seconds, his laughter was pretty much stuck halfway down his throat. Ryūko and Iruma placed the plate down on the counter and clasp their hands together giving their thanks before walking off. "C-Captain, we don't have any more ingredients!" Said one of the Battler members. "T-They're monsters! Demons!" Exclaimed another member. Clara poked the shaken captain as Asmodeus and Lavande gave a smug expression. "Too bad for you." Exclaimed Asmodeus and Lavande, "Ryūko and Iruma-sama/Lady Ryūko and Sir Iruma could eat twice that amount in the blink of an eye." "That was so good!" Said Iruma. "We even showed them who's boss, huh?" Smirked Ryūko with her arms folded.

Sabnock was watching them closely as they walked. He laughed and said: "That was some excellent eating, my friends. Though I shall be the one taking the Grand Prize!" "What are you saying?" Questioned Asmodeus being competitive, "The one truly worthy of the Grand Prize is our Magical Apparatus Battler!" The two male demons were glaring at each other, but Lavande decided to break that up as she slipped in between them. "Discontinue that, gentlemen! Both of you!" Scolded Lavande somewhat lessing the tension. "I shall let this slide. The Party Eve is meant to be enjoyed." Said Sabnock, "The instructors won't be judging the Battlers until the Party Day tomorrow. The Party Eve is a festival for students to enjoy in preparation for tomorrow." "Then... What will your Battler be presenting on the Party Day, Demon King-to-be~?" Asked Ryūko in a sexy voice with a finger gun and charming wink. No, she just likes to play around with Sabnock, who finds it fun around Ryūko doing so. "Excellent question! I am going to act out an action scene involving the Demon King! We will be performing an ancedote about a former Demon King" Said Sabnock, "It'll be a bloodbath that will get your blood boiling! And, of course, I will be playing the Demon King!" "How dare you?! Iruma-sama is far better suited to play the Demon King!" Objected Asmodeus, "Or in Ryūko-sama's case, she is far better suited to play the Demon Queen!" "S-Sir Asmodeus, calm down." Said Lavande, "But of course, that is agreeable." "We shall be the ones to win the Grand Prize!" Said Sabnock.

"Oho. I'm not so sure about that."

"Oh?"

A hooded demon walked up to the group, and that demon who pulled down his hood was ; one of the students of the Misfit Class. "Hey." Greeted Jazz. "Fellow classmate." Addressed Sabnock and Ryūko. "Jazz-kun!" Addressed Iruma. "The rest of them are here, too." Said Jazz point to the group behind him. The rest of the Misfit Class, excluding Purson Soi, greeted Ryūko's group. "We were all wandering around and somehow ran into each other." Said Elizabetta. "I believe it was fate!" Exclaimed Camui, getting Elizabetta's tail on this face for somewhat looking at her like the pervert he is, "I love you!" "Get X-san's tail in your face or perhaps I should tie you up." Glared Ryūko coldly with a monotone voice. "Shall we all eat this dish that I aqquired?" Asked Goemon holding a plate with a deep-fried anglerfish. He tossed it into the air and used his wind katana to slice it into many bite-sized pieces. Seems to look like a sashimi in a breading. It tastes delicious, though.

"Which Battler did you join, Jazz-kun?" Asked Iruma. "The . Just as the name suggests, we're creating new magic, but we'll be presenting something completely new." Said Jazz, "We're going to be producing water from a rock! I'm not trying to brag or anything, but I think it'll go pretty well." "I see. They will be formidable foes." Said Asmodeus and Lavande. Now, Lead chimed in saying; "That's nothing! Our Game Battler is going to let you experience a game hands-on! You'll put on a virtual sorcery hat and go on a virtual adventure!" " That sounds fun!" Exclaimed Iruma, "I wanna try! You too, right, Onē-chan?!" "If I can't study while gaming with that hat on, it's just a waste of my time." Said Ryūko with her arms crossed, eyes closed and voice deeply cold, "Be more serious and dignified about your academics than your enjoyment. If you want me to disagree on something that you never expected me to agree on, then I will." "As expected of you, Lady Ryūko! This is how a pure student should behave!" Praised Lavande, "You truly are an example to follow!" "If you concentrate too hard, you won't be able to come back, though." Warned Lead, which made Iruma change his mind, not in a way he would agree with his elder twin sister, though.

Being the perverted owl he is, Camui asked Lead: "Can I explore an island where there'll be beautiful women lusting over me?" Lead made an "" sign with his arms and replied: "Nope. But you can experience being a popular dem-dol." Keroli, who was behind Elizabetta, was blushing for some reason when that dem-idol thing was mentioned.

Ryūko noticed that and suspected that she might be living a double life as both a student and a dem-idol. "Crocell-san. May I have a word with you?" Asked Ryūko in a way that Keroli can be comfortable with. The pale blue-haired girl nodded as the taller admiral blue-haired femme fatale took their conversation to a nearby spot. "There was something that you were flustered of when Shax-san mentioned that, in that virtual game of his Battler, you can experience being a popular idol." Said Ryūko, "Why were you flustered?" "Can you... keep a secret?" Asked Keroli before Ryūko gave a nod and closed up to her ear, "I'm actually living a double life as one." "I see. That's very impressive." Whispered Ryūko, "I'm a fan of gothic rock music, myself. Some girls even told me about a dem-dol named Kuromu. I assume you are that idol?" Keroli blushed in embarrassment and quietly stammered: "Y-Yes. I-I am." Ryūko patted her head and told her: "I heard of her work, listened to her songs, that I really admire as her idol identity. But to think she was a student here? I'm very impressed." "Y-You are?" Stammered the shorter female, "I-I'm glad to hear that. But... why are you and Iruma-san standing out more than me?" "I apologise for that being inconvenient to you." Apologised Ryūko, "Those times weren't made on purpose. Our grandfather seems to be quite doting to us, so I suppose those were done carelessly." "I understand." Said Keroli, though it might have been a lie, "Thanks for respecting my identity." Ryūko nodded before they got back to the group.

"The other things to look out for are the underwater circus... and the Magic Beast Battles." Said Goemon as the two girls return, "Every Battler this year seems to have brought theid work to a whole new level." "So many powerful rivals..." Mummered Iruma. "Oh, yeah!" Chimed Clara in, "We're gonna go all kablooey and-" "" Said Ryūko and Iruma. Thankfully, Asmodeus snapped his fingers and his Gorgon Snake appeared before engulfing Clara in its mouth and flew upward into the sky. Ryūko inwardly laughed in her soon-to-be suffering as that happened, Iruma asked if she was alright while the Gorgon Snake was at it. "Anyway, I'm sure you're gonna have to stand out to get the Grand Prize." Said Jazz. "We indeed have many rivalling Battlers with various presentation that will try to gain the Grand Prize." Said Ryūko to herself, "The Magical Apparatus Battler has evolved into a brand new state of light. Our fireworks will definately be the star of the Battler Party, and the path to the Grand Prize. We have to stand out in cases like this, ." Sabnock noticed both Ryūko was hilding a proud and aristocrat stature and Iruma was smiling with confidence before he asked them: "Why are you smirking and posing like that?" "Oh. That's none of your business." Said Ryūko with a deep, regal voice that definately shows her confidence.

The rest of the Misfit Class went off to enjoy themselves and the juniors of the Magical Apparatus Battler have decided, that it was time to return to their presentation space. The twins gave their goodbyes to Sabnock and ran past, but brought their movements to a halt when the said demon called their names. "I will be the one who takes the Grand Prize, but I look forward to your Battler's presentation." Said Sabnock. "But of course, you should be looking forward to a radiant highlight!" Said Ryūko with a monotone voice, but shows that she is proud and vain. The two left to their Battler space. Back there, Asmodeus and Lavande commenced a review. "Now, let us review before Amy-senpai/Sir Amy returns." Said Asmodeus and Lavande, "The name of our plan is: ."

Suzuki Iruma: "Strike Fast..."

Valac Clara: "Certain Party."

Asmodeus Alice: ""

After correcting Clara, Asmodeus cleared his throat before continuing. "Our oppertune moment will arrive at the countdown to the Party Day." Said the male demon, "After the Party Eve, all the students gather in the central plaza to hear the bell signalling the start of the Party Day." "The moment the bell stops ringing... We shall deonated the fireworks, capturing the sights of all students." Continued Lavande before saying the next thing with Asmodeus, "We will begin the show with a bang and then, follow up with smaller, beautiful fireworks in an orderly fashion to gain everyon're attention. That is the basic outline." The rest of the group applauded for a brilliant plot for the fireworks show. "We really are striking fast." Said Iruma. "Yay, party!" Exclaimed Clara, which made Asmodeus intergect. "There is a bit of distance from our location to the central plaza, but it will be the dark of night, so the array of lights and deonating of sounds should be enough to steal the spotlight." Added Lavande. "Ooh, pick me! Pick me!" Requested Clara, "I wanna shoot the fireworks!" "Only Ryūko and Iruma-sama are qualified and worthy of handling such an important task!" Said Asmodeus, whic upsetted Clara. "I'm fine with Clara doing it..." Said Iruma. "They might say that we are the ones to do such because we came with this idea." Said Ryūko to her brother. Proven correct; because Asmodeus and Lavande thought otherwise. "What are you saying/art thou speak of?" Questioned Asmodeus and Lavande, "You're/Thou art the only ones/suited ones for the job, Ryūko and Iruma-sama/Lady Ryūko and Sir Iruma!" "But of course, Asmodeus-san and Lavande-san." Agreed Ryūko. "Its construction is flawless. It sets to fire ten seconds after the fuse is lit." Said Asmodeus before he summoned a flame on his hand, "I'll hand you the flame to set it off... And then, you can light the fuse, Ryūko and Iruma-sama."

"Like this?"

"Yes, exactly! Just like..."

What Asmodeus didn't realise was that Clara lit the fuse from the launchpad with the flame of his hand! The others saw Clara squatting next to the launchpad with the lit fuse in her hand, leading all the other Battler juniors gasping with panic following up quickly. "" Shouted Asmodeus. Ryūko took the fuse from Clara and placed it on the ground before Iruma stomped on the lit part of the fuse, but to effect; the fuse was still sparking. "" Exclaimed Ryūko.

""

Asmodeus took Ryūko and Iruma, while Ryūko took Clara, turning away from the launchpad as Lavande towered her back against the others and readied her shield of defense to cover the rest of the group. Strangely enough, nothing happened. Only a weak flame spewed from the launchpad. "A misfire?" Wondered Lavande. "Thank goodness..." Sighed Ryūko and Iruma in relief. "I-I feared the worst." Said Asmodeus. "Wait! Did I do something wrong?" Asked Clara, not knowing what she done. " We're supposed to set off the fireworks once the Party Day begins!" Scolded Asmodeus, "Félin-sama I just got done explaining that!" At that moment, it was the only time where Clara realised that she didn't listen properly to the review. She apologised, but Asmodeus said that a simple apology wasn't enough. Lavande took the oppertunity to settle them down. "Sir Asmodeus, that's enough." Said the knight patting on his shoulder, "And, Lady Valac. You should have foretold us that the shell wasn't present in there." "Hey, guys." Called Ryūko, "It's not here. For sure, Valac-san had nothing to do with it." Hearing this, everyone turned to Ryūko with a suprised expression as they took a look in the tube of the launchpad. "But I'm sure we put the shell in there." Said Asmodeus. "Wait. Where did the shell go, then?" Asked Iruma.

With Amy Kiriwo...

"Hup."

Turns out, Kiriwo had the shell before the incident occured. He placed it down on the windowsill of his secret room. "This shell is so heavy." Said Kiriwo, "I can barely stand." He then took of his glasses before stepping onto the windowsill. "Now then... Let's begin our final party." Said Kiriwo as he moved his right half bangs and lossening his uniform's collar to unravel his choker.

At Demon Border Control

Currently, Sullivan was playing chess with one of the Demon Border Control members. "Are we still continuing this interrogation?" Asked Sullivan. "Investigations involving humans get pretty detailed." Replied the interrogator, "It'll take a while." "I see. In that case... " Exclaimed Sullivan winning the game. " One more time! One more time!" Requested the interrogator, "Please! Please! This will be the last time, I promise!"

While those two were having fun, Azazel Henri: , was watching them behind a pane and pushed his glasses back in slight annoyance. "Honestly... He seems like a peaceful fellow, but... According to our intel, he illegally entered the human world and is holding two humans against their will." Said Henri before he asked a particular demon behind him, "Is this really true, Baal?" "Who knows?" Replied Baal: , who was leaning against the wall. Henri asked him again in a serious mannerism and he answered: "Yeah, yeah. That's what my little birdie told me. You have your own intel, don't you? And that's exactly why you've got all these guards. What is this? Like, your own staff?" The "guards" were all very rough-looking, as if they're .

"This is just in case he tries to escape." Said Henri, "We need to have eveyone here until his name is cleared, but it's rather rude to keep Lord Sullivan here for too long. So, what's to do..." "There's no need to rush." Said Baal, "If this amounts to nothing, all the better. Though, I mean... This calm might very well be the calm before the storm."

At The Magical Apparatus Battler's Space

Ameri was on patrol with her other Student Council members and was in front of the Magical Apparatus Battler's launchpad. "Where did Ryūko and Iruma go? It's already sundown. I hope they're actually prepared." Thought Ameri before her eyes glistened in anticipation, "T-To think I'll be able to see that scene from the forbidden texts in real life..." "I believe we have patrolled this area quite a few times now." Said one of her comrades. "Y-Yes, you're right!" Replied Ameri. "Is there something bothering you?" Asked a blond Student Council member. "" Shouted Ameri, "T-There isn't. But that's exactly why trouble could arise in a place like this, so we should be on our guard!"

"I see..."

"You startled me..."

"If you understand, let's go." Ordered Ameri. "" Saluted her comrades verbally as they followed her direction. "Honestly, what am I doing?! I need to concentrate more on my duties." Thought Ameri bashfully, "You do your best, too, Ryūko and Iruma."

With Eiko & Gaako...
