"Huh? S-Sure..." Quickly walking up beside her, she holds her hand out which he gladly took it. While walking together, she slowly intertwines her hand with his and he didn't mind it. She softly smiles under her scarf, at the same time, she thanked her dearest friend.

'Thank you for giving your support, Clara-san. I hope you'll find someone you like too...'

(3rd person's POV)

During lunch, Iruma and Asmodeus were discussing something serious while Clara slept in Akane's lap, which she didn't mind and rubs her head. Akane and Asmodeus were both surprised by what Iruma said.

"What? You want to climb the rank?" Asmodeus asked, surprised.

"Yeah, I do." He told him.

"For now, I just want to climb from Alef to Bet." Akane looks away from him, feeling a bit degrading. Ever since she overheard their conversation, she felt a twinge of jealousy that whenever she imagine him and the student council together. Not only that, she was disappointed in herself because she thought Iruma liked confident girls and she's not one of them.

"So I was hoping you could show me how to climb-" Iruma was interrupted when Asmodeus suddenly stood up from his seat and started to cry.

"What-! Azz-kun?!"

Akane sweatdropped at him and thought, 'ah, he's being overdramatic again...' she said.

Asmodeus quickly went up to Iruma and told him, "I was displeased when you were ranked as an Alef as well! I was becoming numb from all of our foolish classmates who lack ambition, but moving up the ranks is a demon's pride!"

He then shines even brighter, "let us move up ranks!" Akane squints her eyes from the brightness that was shining at her, 'too bright...!'

"Now, let us prepare!" And that, he quickly runs off, leaving Iruma, Akane, and Clara alone.

"S-Sure..." Iruma said, then Clara woke up and lifted her head from Akane's lap and asked, "prepare for what?"

"What else?" Asmodeus shouted, making them both stared at him. "To prepare Iruma-sama to rise up to the highest rank of Yodh and then... reign over... All of Babyls!"

"What?!" Iruma and Clara stared at him in shock and surprise.

Clara went to the shopkeeper and asks, "one rank-up, please!"

Akane stared at her and then let out a sigh, then she heard Asmodeus shouting again. "Now, Iruma-sama is going to prepare to rise up to the rank of Bet."

"Make way!" He shouted at the crowd.

"Why Bet?"

"Dang, he suddenly brought his expectations down."

"This is still gonna be crazy."

"I'm devi looking forward to it!"

Feeling sorry for Iruma, Akane pats his back in reassurance and told him, "hang in there..."

"Uh, thanks..." Iruma said. He turns to look at her and asked, "aren't you also gonna raise your rank, Akane-chan?" She shook her head as a response.

"Huh? Why?"

"My father and the principal made a decision that I'm going to raise my rank by joining some sort of battle..." She told him.

"Really? That's sounds amazing!" Iruma looks at her with an awed look. Feeling a bit flustered, she mumbles a 'thank you' and hides her face underneath her scarf with a pinkish blush.
