" Extra! Extra~!" Clara said as she distributes the newspaper.

" What is it...? " 

" How is it? This is the commemorative news extra for Iruma-sama's rank up and (Y/N)-sama's first day of school!!" Sticking the newspaper on the board, Asmodeus said with an exaggerated tone, while Clara was smiling widely beside him.

" Hey, one set! Another set! Here you go!" Clara said as she keeps throwing out the newspaper.

Asmodeus looked at Iruma and suggested," If you're okay, why not get one as a gift for the Headmaster?"

" Thank you. But, I think he should have one so it's okay." Iruma declined.

' Not one, a hundred' (Y/N) corrected.

" That's awesome Iruma-kun~. Your article is bigger than Kuromu-chan's!"

"Kuromu-chan..?" Iruma questioned.

Then, the yellow-haired boy, which (Y/N) remembered as Shax Lied, replied " You don't know who Kuromu-chan is?! See the article below!!" he pointed to a small article," 'Dem-dol' Kuromu-chan! Morning, afternoon, night, the opening of the one entire day concert! A challenge of holding her first concert at the Makubari Dome!"

"Dem...dol...?" 

' Is it food?' (Y/N) asked, imagining what will 'Dem-dol' look like.

" (Y/N)-chan... It's a job..." sighed Jazz.

" That's what you're curious about?!"

Asmodeus intercepted with a serious face " There's no helping it! Since young, Iruma-sama and (Y/N)-sama has been protected carefully under the wing of the Headmaster so they are unfamiliar with the ways of the world! Do you understand?!"

' Azz, good job. Good boy.' (Y/N) wrote, then unconsciously patted Asmodeus' head. He and (Y/N) blushed at the same time, and (Y/N) wrote

'I'm sorry... this is a habit of mine.' while looking away.

" N...No, it's fine..."

Fortunately, their classmates were busy talking about Kuromu, meanwhile, Iruma did not understand why they are acting that way.

He then cleared his throat and began explaining

" 'Dem-dol' originates from 'Remove the evil'. To demons, it's an important position." Iruma lets out an astonishment, then Asmodeus continues " Demons will have a stressful period where they'll have the thoughts of violence and sadism, which we call as 'Evil Cycle'. To suppress the Evil Cycle, there is various entertainment in the Netherworld. For instance, using games and sports to rapidly diffuse stress, and Dem-dol is one of the entertainment. By gathering many demons in one place with performance, their malice will be repainted into excitement and vent it out. Thus, popular dem-dol are treated well in the Netherworld."

Lied showed his game console to Iruma and (Y/N) and said, " And among them, Kuromu-chan is the ace among the young ones! Good performance, good singing, and...she's cute!! And that is everything!"

Then, the class began to talk about Kuromu, meanwhile (Y/N) felt disappointed because it was not food.

When (Y/N) keep thinking about the menu for her lunch, a broadcast caught her ears " Eh~ abnormal class Iruma-kun, Iruma-kun, please head to the broadcasting room. I repeat, abnormal class Iruma-kun..."

" I wonder what is it..."

As Iruma left the classroom, Clara and Asmodeus followed along, meanwhile (Y/N) sat on her seat and talked to the birds nearby.

" Bird-san, do you know why I feel really warm when I pat Asmodeus' head?"

For additional information, when (Y/N) speaks to an animal, people could not understand what she is saying because her voice appears like a cat scratching a glass. 

" Well, maybe because you love him." it shrugged.

(Y/N) wore a shocked expression then think again. She met him a few days ago, yet it is impossible for her to love him. 

" No way, wait. That's impossible."

" Ohoho, kiddo. It's love at first sight!" It said as it keeps flapping its wings.

Denying the bird's words, (Y/N) then left the classroom and went for a walk around the school. Then, when she heard Iruma has left the school, she immediately packed her bag and went straight home.

-

"(Y/N)-chan! Welcome home!" Sullivan said as he hugged (Y/N) in his chibi-mode.

"I'm home, Ojii-chan. By the way, Iruma said that he will come home late because he went to a concert with his friends."

" I know, I know~ you should've joined them!"

(Y/N) then shook her head and said, " I can't stand crowds, remember?"

Sullivan gave (Y/N) a sad smile, and asked Opera to make them dinner. Before dinner, she had this urge to watch the TV. Following her intuition, she grabbed the remote control and turned it on. What she saw were three familiar faces that have dressed as a girl, dancing and singing. She then immediately turned off the TV and went straight to dinner.

' As I expected, there's nothing interesting there.' (Y/N) thought while ignoring the fact that she saw those three faces nearby.

-- The next day

As the Iruma gang entered the classroom, Crocell was shaking while looking at the extras, and the boys were singing Kuromu's song.

When Iruma greeted Crocell, she spoke," L-let me tell you this, I, won't lose to your 'tendency to stand out'! Although I was saved by you during the concert, yet if my real identity is exposed, I won't let you off easily! That's why...that...please, take care of me."

(Y/N) walked beside Asmodeus, and saw the picture of the three girls that she has seen yesterday.

' Azz. Looks like you. Clara too.' she wrote

" Well, it's u-" Asmodeus cut Clara" Stop it! It will cause a riot if everyone knows! Especially to (Y/N)-sama! Me, as a demon of the Asmodeus family, to act like this... don't eat it!" 

' Well... you basically just told me that this is you. Clara, no eating.' She wrote as she grabbed her arm and patted Asmodeus' head.

Asmodeus blushed madly, and as Clara see this reaction from him, she began to tease him.

" Azz-Azz is embarrassed! (Y/N)-chi look at...this...?" she said, then encountered (Y/N), whose face is also red, facing the wall.

Clara's head immediately filled with question marks. As she started to find the answer, Asmodeus cleared his throat and asked (Y/N),

" (Y/N)-sama, I'm deeply sorry that I have disappointed you! We had to help Iruma-sama yesterday, so..."

(Y/N) smiled softly then wrote, ' You didn't do anything that has disappointed me though. Actually, Clara and Azz look cute here. Give me the picture.'

" (Y/N)-sama...! Of course, I'll giv...what?! " 

Then, Clara ran as fast as she can, giving the picture that Asmodeus wanted to hide for the rest of his life.

' Clara, good girl.' (Y/N) wrote and patted Clara's head. 

Asmodeus saw Clara that gave him a mischievous smirk. Irritated, he said, " (Y/N)-sama! Please, let me punish this idiot!" Then, he hesitated and continued " then... will you pat my head also...?"

(Y/N) was shocked for a moment. When she realized she has zoned out for a while, she quickly approached Asmodeus and gave him a soft pat with a smile. 

' Wow... Azz-Azz's face is red...(Y/N)-chi is really amazing!'
