In a time of the past, young Azazel Ameri was sitting on her father's lap and asked: "Hey, Father. Are you catching the bad guys?" "Yes." Replied her father, "I capture the demons who have forgotten their promise to the Netherworld." "That so cool!" Beamed Ameri in admiration, "I'm going to catch them, too!" Her father chuckled and gently patted his daughter's head and asked: "Is that so? But we capture things other than demons, as well." "Other than demons?" Asked Ameri. "Yes." Replied her father, "For example... ."

In the present day, twins feom the human world, Suzuki Ryūko and Iruma, were on their way to the First-year Tower of the demon school Babyls while being drowned in attention ever since they won the Tricky Award from the Battler Party.

Audience Member 1: "Hey, it's Ryūko-chan and Iruma-kun!"

Audience Member 2: "They won the Tricky Award."

Audience Member 3: "Super tricky!"

Audience Member 4: "They're Gimels (3) now. Wow."

Audience Member 5: "His hair tuft looks like a sickle."

Now with all of this popularity thrown onto the twins, it got incredibly stressful for Iruma. Ryūko, on the other hand, was already used to the attention, but not in a way that she wants to be popular, anyway. She was touching her new black cherry blossom earcuff on the right ear, thinking of her beloved soulmate, Amy Kiriwo, as they walk. "Ryūko-chan! Iruma-kun!" Addressed another student from the audience. "I saw the special edition!" Said a demon girl. "Oh. Why thank you." Bowed Ryūko regally. "Thanks..." Bowed Iruma. "Iruma-kun's so cute!" Complimented a different demon girl. "Ryūko-chan is a beautiful hit of ice!" Added a demon boy. "W-We're standing out so much..." Thought Iruma. "Now that I raised to a Gimel (3), I hope I did Amy-senpai proud." Thought Ryūko, now in a love-like state in her head, "It's only been today that you got taken away to Demon Border Control, but... I still miss you. We did spend a lot of time together, anyway."

In The Misfit Class's Room

When Ryūko and Iruma got in the classroom, they noticed Valac Clara, a friend of theirs, looking at the front page of the school newspaper and exclaimed: "Ooh, the special edition! Way to go, Ryūko-chi and Iruma-chi!" "Well appreciated, Valac-san." Thanked Ryūko. "Ah, 'tis indeed a glorious affair!" Praised Félin Lavande, first female demon knight of the Netherworld and female top freshman student. "Er, what are you doing, Azz-kun?" Asked Iruma to Asmodeus Alice, male top freshman student and only son of the Lord Of Seduction, Asmodeus Amuryllis. "This is your moment of glory, Ryūko and Iruma-sama." Said Asmodeus as he was cutting up special article, "I need to make sure we save this." He inserted that one of the many newpapers into a demon blob, that sort of looked like a printer. The article came out laminated. "" Exclaimed Iruma. "So cool!" Said Clara. "Now I have to file it!" Said Asmodeus, holding a file in us hand, "But of course, I wouldn't forget to prepare one for you, Félin-sama." "Oh. Not as quite neccesary, but I thank you, Sir Asmodeus." Blushed the cat demon a little. "Very well! I'll take that!" Said Clara. "" Retorted Asmodeus.

Ryūko was next to her other classmate, Crocell Keroli, a demon living a double life as a student who was clenching on the newpaper article with envy and inner rage. "Look, it's not like I even expected such an affair for the Tricky Award to be around." Sighed Ryūko, "I'm sorry if Iruma and I stood out as such." "I'm fine with you standing out, Ryūko-san, since you told me a lot earlier and not to mention, figuring out my double life." Whispered Keroli, "But I'm not happy with Iruma-san standing out." "Weird. You're fine with me, but not him." Sweatdropped the bluenette, "Oh. I was thinking of making a violin cover for Kuromu's latest song. I'll send you a video so you can give me her opinion if she saw it." "Really? You making a violin piece for it?" Asked Keroli, "S-Sure. I'll ask her." She leaned over to whisper into the taller girl's ear, "Even though you know who she really is." "But I'm the one who's going to become the Demon King!" Declared Sabnock Sabro, a demon with an aspiring ambition to become the next Demon King, as His Majesty's throne has been vacant for centuries. "Sir Sabnock, when shall we practice our sparring?" Asked Lavande. "I will think

about that, Félin." Said Sabnock, "But thank you for asking." "We really are standing out." Thought Iruma as everyone looked at the special article, "This is bad. If they find out that we're human... "

In The Common Room

Ryūko, Iruma and Lavande went over to the common room as per manga reading session with Student Council President, Azazel Ameri, daughter of the Demon Border Control Chief.

Now if you can't recall, Lavande is one of those demons, besides Sullivan and her father, who believes that humans exist. Only a few high-ranking demon know of their existance, previously signing contracts that involve desires. Lavande is capable of speaking several human languages and has an interest in human culture, but would never cross the borders between the Netherworld and the human world. But she doesn't really translate the shojou manga series, First Love Memories, with Ryūko and Iruma; instead, she serves as their guard and looks out for any unexpected guests or intrusions.

"Apologies for we must keep you at bay, Lady Azazel." Apologised Lavande to Ameri. "It must have been very rude of us, to have you waiting as such." Added Ryūko. "I heard what happened." Said Ameri as she set her tea cup down on its saucer, "About Amy Kiriwo. I received an explaination in se-" "" Outbursted Ryūko suddenly. It was so loud and sudden that everyone in the room was shocked at her emotions bursting out. "What? Did I say something about him to upset you, Ryūko?" Asked Ameri. Before she would say a thing, the half-demon clenched her fists, shrugged her shoulders tight and tears streamed down from her red and blue eyes. "To have him, my beloved soulmate, mention in a way I cannot bear... it's got me thinking of him, our forbidden love, my heart aches from hearing him mentioned in a place like this." Said Ryūko, "He was the one demon who could never leave my head. Only today, he had to be arrested away after what I requested for a last stay... "

This was an unbearable scene that Ryūko was bringing out and Ameri was shocked to know that those two were in relationship. The bluenette sank to her knees and cried as she thought of her beloved again. Ameri stood up and walked to her, crouching down to her height and gently patting her head. "I'm very sorry, Ryūko." Apologised Ameri, "I never knew that you... felt such a thing. You saying that this love was forbidden, meaning you and Iruma saved everyone and Amy Kiriwo was doing all of that. I'm really sorry." "Lady Ryūko... You have felt... a ? That indeed is tradegy." Said Lavande in pity. "Onē-chan, it's going to be alright." Reassured Iruma, "There will be a tine for you guys to be together again. I'm sure of it." "Are you guys really... sure I will see him in person again?" Asked Ryūko, still teary-eyed. "Soulmates are never too far away from their hearts, my lady." Said Lavande, "Rest assured, I know of it." "... You guys are right. As long as I love him, there's no need to be alone." Smiled Ryūko softly, "I have him in my heart. That's why I look a little like him now with this new cape and earcuffs as memorials of him. Thank you, everyone." Her tears even touched her Soulmate Scar, located on her left ring finger, and the scar glowed in turquoise and admiral blue. "Onē-chan, your scar is glowing again!" Exclaimed Iruma pointing at her scar. Ryūko looked at her scar with the light and she touched her right ear cuff in rememberance of Kiriwo. "That glow means that my love for him is growing stronger." Said Ryūko, "The fact I had him over last night made me feel at ease and I just... "

After Ryūko had some time to calm down, Ameri decided to continue. "Anyways, I received an explaianation in secret." Said Ameri, "Let me thank you two as the Student Council President. It must've been rough, Ryūko and Iruma." "... Of course. It has, especially to let my feelings go like this." Sighed Ryūko, a little sad about it. Ameri then abruptly stiod up from her armchair and said: " I'm going ot have you make up for all the times we missed in our readings!" She exchanged a smile to the twins and Iruma smiled back whereas his sister nodded with a straight face. In today's chapter of , main male character Aozora Kakeru, apparently slipped and slammed his hand next to the head of main female protagonist, Hoshino Rin. This resulted in both of their hearts to flutter. Not just them, it seemed.

In spite of how fierce the Student Council President is, she can be really cute. " Wh-What are these palpatations I'm feeling?!" Asked Ameri to herself when she turned away. "To no mistake, you must have felt the song of romance touching that strong heart of yours, Lady Azazel." Said Lavande, "Was that of a thing thou hast seen in thine eyes that lead to the ache of love in thy core, Lady Ryūko?" "Oh. Yes, it was indeed." Nodded Ryūko. "A-Are you alright?" Asked Iruma. "Th-There's no need to worry." Reassured Ameri, "More importantly, continue reading..." But at a second she looked at the window, she saw her father walking into the school compound. "Is something wrong?" Asked Iruma. "Oh, it's nothing." Said Ameri, "I just saw someone I know. Let me go have a chat with them. We can continue some other time. Sorry about this, Ryūko, Iruma and Félin." With that, Ameri left the common room and hurried down the hallway wonder what was her father doing in school.

Ryūko, Iruma and Lavande were just walking through the hallway to class. Lavande went up front and said: "My lady, my lord, I shall await for you with Sir Asmodeus and Lady Valac. Fare thee well, for now." Ryūko and Iruma nodded at her leave before the feline demon went off to class, leaving the twins alone. "It's rare for Ameri-san to seem in such a hurry." Said Iruma, much to Ryūko's agreement, "She said she saw someone she knew, but I wonder who it was..." Ryūko's spider senses picked up a menacing vibration from behind and she turned around. "Oh. So we meet again." Greeted Ryūko. "Who are talking abo-" Iruma was shocked at who was his sister refering to; the demon behind them was none other than ,and "You're Iruma-kun, aren't you? And so to your agreement, Ryūko-chan." Asked Henri, "I need to speak with you."

Iruma assumed the worst, but not much happened as they were just outside sitting on a bench and silence only filled the air. "We came along without thinkig but... I wonder who he is." Thought Iruma, "He sorta reminds me of someone." Henri then turned his head to Iruma, who felt so much of pressure as the older demon thought that this is the Iruma he heard of.

When Sullivan received the message that Babyls needed him, he wanted to leave the interrogation room. "Well, I'm going to return to the school now." Said Sullivan. But Henri interfered with his wantig to return to the school. "Sullivan-sama. Our interrogation isn't over yet." Said Henri, "We need you to remain here until you're cleared of suspicion." "But you don't have any proof now, do you?" Questioned Sullivan, "Sorry, but I'll be leaving this time." Henri called him again, but to find a horrifiting aura emitted by Sullivan, "" The aura filled the entire room full of dread, paralysing Henri at the spot. "M-My body... won't move." Noticed Henri. "" Said Sullivan before he returned to his cheery self, "I promised Ryūko-chan and Iruma-kun. Okay, bye!" And with that, Sullivan left the scene through a portal.

"Sullivan-sama's excessive obsession over these children..." Thought Henti as he balled his fists, "So the reports were true. These children were dragged here by Sullivan-sama against their will-" He then squished Iruma's cheeks with both of his hands before finishing up, "" "I'm pretty sure something like this happened before..." Thought Iruma with a déjà vu. "Pardon me, Officer." Addressed Ryūko before it was her turn to have her face sandwiched. She turned up with a dull and rather straight look. Henri then took both of their hands to inspect them for any injuries, but the way the inspection was held seemed more like a dance. "No cuts, bruises. No problems, " Chanted Henri before he let go of them, "My apologies! I couldn't hold back... But I managed to make contact with them. If they show any signs of wanting help, I need to take them in immediately." He sat back down on the bench and Iruma stared at him with anxiety whereas Ryūko was thinking of revealing who the Mysterious Arachne really was. "Sir, I'm sure you want to know who the Mysterious Arachne is. Allow me to show you." Said Ryūko as she stood up and transformed into her Arachne form, "I was that demon who interfered with you. There was no other way I could show Amy Kiriwo my gratitude fro everything he has done for the Magical Apparatus Battler, so I had him over." Henri was shocked, he really though that Ryūko was a pure human, but she's actually half-human and half-demon. "Wait... she can... transform? And she's the Mysterious Arachne?" Wondered Henri in suprise, "If she's neither a human, nor a demon, she's half of them? But... how is that possible?" Ryūko told him to keep this alias of hers secret from everyone when she reverted back to her normal form, because if anyone else finds out that she's the Mysterious Arachne, chances are that panic will take over.

"This is a secret, but I've met a human before." Said Henri. Iruma was alarmed, so was Ryūko, but she would never show it for the sake of her other half. "Huh? A-A human?" Asked Iruma nervously, "D-D-Did you happen capture them?" "Yes, of course." Said Henri, "We took them in and sent their upper body to the lab for experiments. ." Iruma screamed in terror and Ryūko just stood there, stoic as normal, "Of course, I'm totally kidding." Iruma fell of the bench in suprise that he was joking. But how was he supposed to tell? Most serious-looking people aren't good at cracking in humor. And Henri was convincing. Plus, Iruma's sister seems to be a little amused and chuckled from the joke. "If a human were found in the Netherworld, I'm honestly not sure what would happen." Said Henri, "There are those going back to basics, so it'd be very dangerous for a human to be here. So I took that human in and returned them safely to the human world. I did the proper paperwork so they could return immediately. We erased all their memories of the Netherworld and sent them home." "Going back to basics... Wait a second, are those demons said to return to their origins?" Asked Ryūko, remembering what Kiriwo said in a dream once before. "That is correct." Said Henri, "Ryūko-chan... Iruma-kun... If you are seeking help..." "" Ameri suddenly came around and ran up to Henri, "There you are!" Realisation hit Iruma and he shouted: "Wait, ""?!"

"This is my father. He works at Demon Border Patrol." Introduced Ameri. "So I am not mistaken." Said Ryūko, "and also, . Am I saying this correctly, or perhaps that was far-fetched?" "Y-You know my affiliation!" Exclaimed Henri before turning to his daughter, "So you know Ryūko-chan and Iruma-kun?" "Yes. They're quite famous at our school. They had an impressive record ever since they started school here. They even presented an magnificant display at the Battler Party." Said Ameri before she walked closer to Ryūko and Iruma, "Ryūko and Iruma are..." She smiled before her turned over to her father, "Ryūko and Iruma are... outstanding demons." Henri wasn't exactly sure if Ameri knew that the Suzuki twins were actually human, but one look into her eyes and he decided to let it rest for today. "Well, I came to see the Chair-Demon today." Said Henri, "I was just asking this young lady and her brother for directions. Thank you very much." "Oh? You're welcome, Officer Azazel." Bowed Ryūko. "Huh?! N-No problem at all." Stammered Iruma. "But it's rather rare for you to praise someone this much." Said Henri.

Ameri hearing this flinched and mumbled: "W-Well, the three of us have chats alone quite often..." Something triggered inside of Henri's head from hearing this. "... you say?" Asked Henri. "Yes... We have tea in the audience room after school." Continued Ameri, "And then we talk..." "The three of you, alone in a room together?" Asked Henri, "What do you talk about?" The only problem was, those mangas that Ryūko and Iruma usually read to Ameri were considered forbidden texts, considering the fact that they are books from the human world. For this problem, Ameri needs to think of something fast. "" Asked Henri again. "W-We usually talk about love and relationships!" Said Ameri. An electric current of alarm coursed through Henri before Ameri added something, "Oh, we also talk about our future!" The lenses of Henri's glasses shattered when thought that speaking of love and futures means talking about marriage.
