Episode Release Date: 23rd February 2020

In the dressing room of Makubari Dome, popular dem-dol going by the name of Kuromu heard her fans at the auditorium chanting her name as she mentally prepared herself. "Okay... Let's do this, Kuromu." Said Kuromu to herself before she finally made her appearance on the stage and cheerfully greeted her fans. "Hey guys! How are you all doing?" Greeted Kuromu, "We're going to have a blast at this concert tonight!"

Clara was tossing newspaper articles about Ryūko and Iruma's rank promotion to the rank of Gimel (3) in the air while chanting "". Asmodeus and Lavande were walking behind her as Ryūko and Iruma were wondering what's up. Asmodeus pinned a larger version of the article to the blackboard before turning around to respond. "Have a look!" Said Asmodeus, "It's a special issue commemorating your promotion, Ryūko and Iruma-sama!" "" Exclaimed Iruma,"" "Well, nobody took a photograph of us for nothing." Said Ryūko monotoneous as always. While Clara was distributing the article copies to their classmates, Lavande turned over to Ryūko. "My lady, why not have one of these commemorations gifted to Lord Sullivan?" Asked Lavande. If you're wondering why she doesn't use the alias "Chair-Demon", her chivalrous side of the elegant personality doesn't really use such modern terms or titles, so she calls Sullivan by his grand title. "Thank you, Lavande-san." Said Ryūko, "But knowing him, I can be sure that he has a copy of those himself. No need to do such."

"Wow. You were really amazing, Ryūko-chan and Iruma-kun." Said Shax Lead, the blond male gamer student, "Your article's bigger than the segment on Kuromu-chan." "Kuromu-chan?" Asked Iruma, leading to his classmate's shock. " Look at the article right under yours!" Said Lead pointing at the said article, "." "Dem...dol?" Asked Iruma, again confused. "Wait, I have to explain from there?" Asked Lead. "" Rationalised Asmodeus and Lavande, "Ryūko and Iruma-sama/Lady Ryūko and Sir Iruma have been shelthered by the Chair-Demon/His Excellency, Lord Sullivan ever since they were young, so so they don't/know not of all the ways of the world! " "Oh... So that's how they rationalise this." Thought Iruma. "Yes, that in particular is why Iruma and I know not of so many things in the Netherworld." Said Ryūko after clearing her throat, "Thank you, Asmodeus-san and Lavande-san. Now, please do explain to us about the origin of this. I might add something later on." "So the origin of ... is ." Said Asmodeus as he wrote the said definition of dem-dol on the blackboard, next to the article, "It is a very important role in demon society." "Us demons have a timeline of stress, in which leads to the temptation of commiting violent or ruthless actions." Added Lavande, "This in term is what we call ". In order to maintain that timeline of our temptations, there are varieties of entertainment forms in the Netherworld. I shall now pass the word over to Lady Ryūko." "Thank you, Lavande-san. Basically, demons play sports or video games to instantly relieve that level of stress." Added Ryūko, "Dem-dols are one of those other forms of entertaiment. By gathering many demons in stress into one venue and holding a performance, dem-dols can change those evil thoughts into excitement and relieve their stress. As such, dem-dols received a warm reception in the Netherworld." Everyone else had their mouths agape that Ryūko was able to know something so popular about dem-dols. "Is that fine, or should there be anything else to add?" Asked Ryūko to Asmodeus and Lavande. The two shook their heads, telling her that everything was just perfect. "Onē-chan, how much of studying about the Netherworld did you do?" Whisper-asked Iruma in his sister's ear. "Considering the fact that I study everyday after homework and other things, plus my academic ambition to achieve the best as a student, I was studying about forms of entertainment around the Netherworld." Replied Ryūko, "Plus, this could come in handy for you and me, regarding our survival in the future." "That's great, you study everyday and staying true to your ambitions." Beamed Iruma, "Considering the fact that I almost know nothing about it..."

"And among them all, Kuromu-chan is our hope for the future!" Said Lead as he showed Ryūko and Iruma a video clip of Kuromu's performance on his device, "Her performance is great, her singing is as great as yours, Ryūko-chan, and... Look! See? Isn't she amazing?" "Cutie!" Said Garp Goemon, known for his wind katana ability, as he and Caim Camui, the perverted owl of the Misfit Class, popped out. "Cutest!" Exclaimed Camui. "" Asked Iruma when those two came out. "Well, now that you mention it, I am an admirer of her work." Said Ryūko. "" Asked Lead in shock. "" Yelled Ryūko. "What? But aren't fans and admirers the same thing?" Argued Lead. "" Countered Ryūko, "" Hearing this, most of the class exclaimed "" and some even laughed at how cruel Ryūko to others can be sometimes. "Anyway, her Day-To-Night concert is today!" Said the blond student. On the device, Kuromu was announcing her noon performance. "The noon performance is just about to start at Makubari Dome!" Annouced Kuromu, "It'll be streamed live, too, so look forward to it! I'll be waiting for you!" Andro. M Jazz, responsible for theft from students, added that Kuromu's tickets sell out instantly whenever they go on sale and are sold via lottery, plus getting to meet Kuromu in person. "Sometimes there's a after the concert!" Said Camui. "You mean a ?" Asked Iruma. "No! It's written like this! !" Said Camui, "It's a dream-like event where we can grate away our stress just by holding Kuromu-chan's hand!" "Yeah! And she's famous for her cuticle interactions!" Said Lead. "Cute interactions?" Asked Iruma. "interactions!" Said Lead. Hearing all this, Ryūko felt as if she was surrounded by idiots and facepalmed from the thought. "When I heard that my group and I are going into the Misfit Class, I was right about being surrounded by idiots." Sighed the blue haired female.

Then, a winged speaker flew towards Ryūko and Iruma. "Ryūko-chan and Iruma-kun from the Misfit Class. Ryūko-chan and Iruma-kun. Please come to the broadcast room immediately." Said the broadcaster through the speaker, "I repeat, Ryūko-chan and Iruma-kun from the Misfit Class. Ryūko-chan and Iruma-kun." "I wonder what's up." Said Iruma. "I wonder." Repeated Asmodeus. "Well, let's not waste anytime." Said Ryūko making an exit, "Iruma, come with me." "Alright, on your tail, Onē-chan!" Said Iruma following Ryūko. "Me, too! Me, too!" Followed Clara. "We shall accompany you, as well." Said Asmodeus and Lavande. When they exited, the rest of the class decided to watch her live stream together and Jazz let them borrow some good speaker, but not without a price, obviously.

At Makubari Dome, Stage Set

"Please look forward to the upcoming live stream of the Makubari Dome concert." Said Kuromu during her announcement of the performance, "I hope you all watch! " "And we're good!" Said one of the staff members responsible for filming her announcement. She received praise from the staff and thanked them for it. Her manager gave her a red jacket, that which she put on her shoulders. "You know, you sure have guys, Kuromu-chan. Makubari Dome is one of the biggest venues in the Netherworld." Said one of the staff members, "It's a holy land where legendary concerts have been held." "You gonna be okay?" Asked another one for the staff, "Are you nervous?" "I'm totally fine!" Reassured Kuromu, "I'll give my all to my first dome concert!" Her cute, enthusiastic behaviour hit the two male staff members straight to their hearts before they fawn over her cuteness. "I look forward to working with you for the rest of today." Bowed Kuromu, "Now, if you'll excuse me." There they go again. Infatuated by her cuteness, the staff members tremble, all the while making incoherent noises.

Back in the dressing room, the dem-dol could finally catch a small break. She removed her purple gradiant wig from her head, fluffed her light blue hair and put on her glasses. "There we go." She said. Turns out, Kuromu was actually... , Ryūko and Iruma's classmate! Maybe her schedule is the reason for her placement in the Misfit Class. Ryūko already knew her double life as a student and a dem-dol, so no wonder she made friends with her. "I got to loose during the morning show. This is the most relaxing look for me. I mean, this is how I am at school, too. And..." Keroli freaked out for a second at the sight if her exposed navel, "" She then covered her upper body with a blanket, embarrassed from the sight. "I'm still not use to this! That pose might've been too calculated!" Said Keroli, "I'm so embarrassed! I'm so embarrassed! Maybe I should into posing a bit more. I do still have the noon and night shows coming up. Actually, maube I need a more calcuated pose." She stood up, deopped the blamket and cleared her throat before posing.

Crocell Keroli/Kuromu: "I'm Kuromu-chan, devi! Everyone's dem-dol! I'll shoot you right through the heart with my impish beam! Make all the bad feelings... "

She blushed at her reflection, still with her exposed navel as she panicked: "This is way too calculated! Why do I keep saying ?!" She then rolled on the floor from embarrassment, "But I have to do my best. My job is to be a dem-dol. I mean... I mean... " She pulled out a notebook from her bag and flipped through it to her desired page. The page had a somewhat old-looking paper with the words "" and a drawn frowny demon face on it. Keroli remembered when her siblings were always praised compare to her.

Keroli's Backstory

Keroli never stood a chance against her siblings at home. They always got a , but because her magic was normal and she was quite awkward, she only received . She wanted to get back at them. And that was the time when she realised that... Sounds disappear everytime she walked around her homwtown, because other demons would stop walking and stare at her in awe whenever she passed by.

There was anything she needed to say. Everyone would prioritise her. Even when she messed up, even if she was weak... Nobody made fun of her. In fact, everyone was nice to her. Keroli had the ability to counter malice. She realised then... that being cute can defeat violence. For that reason, she chose to become a dem-dol, where only being cute matters, so she can get back at her family.

End Of Keroli's Backstory

Keroli then flipped over to another page of her notebook. On that lied a folded article of the current school newspaper. "Even thought it's embarrassing for, I'm still doing my best." She picked up and unfolded the article as she trembled from irritation, "And yet... And yet, somehow... All the while she was talking to herself, she unconciously created pointy ice pillars behind her. Her manager, Mal, just so happened to see that. "" Scolded Mal, making Keroli gasp and the pillars disappeared instantly, "I told you not to use ice, or they'll figure out who you are!" "Mal-san! I'm so sorry!" Apologied Keroli. "Come on. Your noon show is about to start. Get ready!" Said Mal. "Y-Yes ma'am!" Verbally saluted Keroli as balled her fists, "Get a grip, Keroli. Today's concert is really important."

After preparation, Keroli went up to the stage with firm, determined steps as she thought: "I keep myself at the lowest rank at school so that I wouldn't stand out. After I graduate, I'm going to expand my horizons and rise immediately to Het rank (8). That would exceed my mother rank of Zayin (7). That's my goal. Who cares about Iruma? I can't let him get to me! And I can't miss Ryūko's violin composition for my song, she's as good as me!" Once she arrived at the stage, she cheerfully greeted her fans like she usually would, "Yes, I'm going to... stand at the top of the dem-dol world! Hey, guys! Let's blow the roof off this place!" At this point, we get to hear her song, Little Imp.

(Author's Note: Since Keroli comes in two names at different appearances, I will mention her real name/alias as stated.

Keroli's real name will be mention, if she is not wearing her full dem-dol costume.

Keroli's alias, Kuromu, will be mention, if she is in her full costume)

Little Imp (Short Ver.) - Kuromu

"Demons should never let their guard down

One day, you'll get your heart stolen!

Squee!

Ooh

That cutie over there is a little imp

Want to touch my hair?

Let's have a thrilling escape!

Want to talk to me?

Want to touch me?

If you insist, I'll play with you!

Do you love me?

Well, try to see through me

Can you give your soul up to me?

Little imp

Little imp

I'll be the little imp that drags you around!"

Kuromu really gave it her all and finished her performance successfully, hence her fans cheering. "You're all great!" Said Kuromu before she noticed something, or a certain duo. She spotted Ryūko, Iruma and their three demons friends cheering in the crowd. The really rare thing is that Ryūko was whistling and actively cheering like the admirer she is. "Way to go, Kuromu!!!" Whistled Ryūko in an active behaviorism. If her other classmates were here, she would be embarrassed, so she doesn't react like this when the rest if her class are around. "Ryūko! Iruma! Why the heck are you here?!" Asked Kuromu inwardly.

A few hours earlier, Ryūko, Iruma and the others were summoned by the Broadcasting Battler President, Bathin Baraki. "Oh, good. All five of you showed up." Said Bathin before he handed five tickets to them, "These are for you." Ryūko and Iruma were suprised when they looked at the tickets. "Wait... These are concert tickets for Kuromu-chan, who we're just told is super popular..." Asked Iruma "My family is friends with one of the sponsers, so we managed to get them somehow." Said Bathin. "But... why would you lass these over to us?" Asked Ryūko, raising a brow. "The thing is, after I said we won the Grand Prize at the Battler Party, they said we could help with the concert itself! " Said Bathin before he shedded tears of overflowing joy and his friend passed him a handkerchief, "Meaning the leftover tickets might've gone to waste. No one would've been suprised if you got the Grand Prize, so this is our way to make amends. Okay?" "If that is so, we gladly accept your amends." Bowed Ryūko, "Thank you very much."

And so, Ryūko, Iruma, Clara, Asmodeus and Lavande went to Makubari Dome and enjoyed the concert. "So devi, devi cute, Kuromu!" Cheered Clara with lightsticks in her hands. "Dem-dols are rather enjoyable." Said Asmodeus and Lavande. "Agreeable/Yeah." Nodded Ryūko and Iruma in unison. "I'm not done cheering yet!" Exclaimed Clara. "Okay, let's go thank Baraki-san and head back." Said Iruma. But when they were about to take their leave, two staff members walked up to the group. "Um, are you Ryūko and Iruma-sama?" Asked one of them. "You are not mistaken. That is us." Said Ryūko. One of the staff members presented Ryūko and Iruma with two backstage tickets to meet up with Kuromu, the other popped open a confetti ball to congratulate them. "" Asked Iruma.
