An austere demon, an eccentric demon

Caught between these teachers of Babylus, the human Iruma... trembles!?

>Page 1
>Ed note: Let's kick off with a dual-color page of the teacher duo, Balam and Callego!
Balam,
Are you reading that picture book again?
(book) The Smiling Bears

Balam!
What're you doing reading that picture book out here?
(book) The Tall Prince

That creepy guy.
He's still reading those picture books.
(book) The Three Headed Chick

Those creatures
Don't even exist.

>Page 3
I'm... a human being.

Ah...
I said it...

Hu...
Uh-! Ah-! Erm...

>Page 4
Did you just say you're a human being!?
No! I didn't-
Don't lie to me now.
You just said you were a human, didn't you?
Uh- Ah-
Ye...
es..

>Page 5
(crash)
Balam-sensei!!
A-Are you okay!?
I... I don't think I am...

>Page 6
Eh?
But the wings!?
You have wings, don't you?
They're fake...
And your tail!?
I don't have one...

Sensei...
(rush)
(wa-)
Don't come any closer!!
Or... I might not be able to hold back! I might...

He's going to eat-!?
Get really excited.

>Page 7
But a real human being!!!
I've fantasized about them for so long, and-
You're real!!
I knew it, he really didn't have wings!! I was right!

W-will you... eat me now?
(huh!?)
I'm just curious!!
You're an endangered species, why would I do that!!?
I am...?
To be honest, I reaaaally want to touch you, but...
(nghhhhh)

(here)

(thump!!)

>Page 8
You!!
S-Sorry, sir.
Don't be so carefree about your identity!!
You're a valuable, helpless creature! Think of the trouble you'd be in if people found out!!!


You ought to be more careful with your secret!!
You're a precious creature with no defences!
an endangered creature!! If people find out that your wings are fake, it could be big trouble for you!!

(Oh)
I appreciate your concern for me, Balam-sensei... But nobody's realized it so far so...
(YOU)
Not everyone is going to react to a human the way I did, you know!? There are demons out there who could swallow you whole, you understand!? Do you understand!?
Uh-
I'm sorry...

>Page 9
(rumble)
You're far too tame a creature
boy!

(gyasu)(gyasu)

He ended up lecturing me non-stop for a few hours...
(wobble wobble)

(And)(furthermore)

But Balam-sensei
really is a nice person...

>Page 10
The next day

(exhaustion)

Wh-What's wrong?
We're all doomed~~~
We were gonna keep cramming but...
Our determination has flaggedsegozaru...
de gozaru...
(moaning)
(Oy)
You've only been doing this for one day.

>Page 11
Couldn't you have found a more organized way to study?
Such as asking someone more capable to teach you...
Someone capable...
'Kay, fellow idiots. Let's group up over here.

>Left
Dumb
(As worms)
>Center
(Cutoff line)
>Right
(Smart)
>Under Crocell's bubble
Busy with work
And... there.

>Page 12
All right, dismissed!!
Y-you've already abandoned us!!

I'm already busy tutoring Iruma-sama. It's not possible for me to help this many people.
(And those two aren't really tutor material)
Good point...

You really go to class, Saburou?
(Good boy!)
A good demon king needs to be knowledgeable, after all.
So you're an idiot to, nee-san?
No good?
Not at all, it adds to your charm.
(gah)
Our break is ruined!!

Did you already make plans for it...?
(yeah!)
Listen here!!!

>Page 13-14
The demon realm is full of places to have fun!!
But the number one thing to do is go to Walter Park!!
There's the Bloody Pool! The ScreamFest!
Or shopping at the Soul-Sucking Pavilion!

They have all kinds of events too! It'll totally wear you out!
Like a battalia's training camp.
So many things to do!
These people only wake up when there's something fun to talk about...

Unbelieve...able...?
(sparkle sparkle)

Iruma-chi?
(dazzling)
Oh, it's just so...

>Page 15
It just sounds like so much fun!!!
Sparkling Summer Vacations of Iruma's Past
(All I did was work)

What!? You wanna go too, Iruma-kun!?
Shall we go together!?
(Eh!?)
Can I!?

Let us enjoy ourselves de gozaru~~~
(Hanging out)
Yeah!!
(With everyone...)

(Let's go play)
(Let's go play)
Well, there's no point talking about it if you can't pass your tests.

>Page 16
(despair)

Just so you know, your examiner for the tests will be me.
AAAHHHH THE ROAD OF DEATH!!

(Scoundrel!)
(You don't care a bit about our youth Callego-sensei!!)
Cunning won't save me this time~
Uh-
Anyone trying something in his tests is always found out.
(Don't know how he does it though)
(Wow...)
(rumbling)

>Page 17
(rumbling)
(pant pant)

WHAAAA!!
What!?
Scary!

Balam-sensei!?
Huh? Is he going to spirit away someone for his experiments like they say?
Who's he taking!?

>Page 18
(step)
Sensei...

(zu)

(pound)
You look well, Shichirou.
(Yep)
Callego-kun.

(You've gotten taller)
(Yeah)

>Page 19
Um... do you guys know each other?
Classmates.
Alumni of Babylus.
(We were.)
We're stuck with each other.
But you shouldn't come out of nowhere like that.
I guess so. I must've scared everyone, huh?
(murmur murmur)

Well, we were a little surprised...
(gulp)
But what's scarier...
Is Callego-sensei...

>Page 20
Actually has...
A close friend!!

(It hurthurthurthurthurts)
(He could tell what they were thinking)

(um)
Why did you come, Balam-sensei...?

>Page 21
(Hm)
Well, I was worried that someone else might have found out you were a human...
(whisper) (whisper)

But it looks like you're having more trouble with the exam.

Why don't I make you a secret weapon?
>Kanji is 'secret weapon', furigana is 'something good'
