The Netherworld had never truly known peace. After a series of incidents at Babyls Demon School, secrets that had long been buried were finally brought to light.
Suzuki Iruma...
The student who always wore a gentle smile, who never hesitated to lend a helping hand, and who had changed countless demons' understanding of what "strength" truly meant, was finally exposed as someone who wasn't a demon. He... was a human.
The news spread across the Netherworld like a raging storm. Some demons refused to believe it. Others were furious, feeling as though they had been deceived. Yet many could only stand there in stunned silence, because Iruma had never harmed anyone.
Inside the grand hall of Babyls, the soft clinking of chains echoed through the air. Iruma was being escorted away by the forces of the Netherworld Council. His hands were bound by enchanted restraints, sealing the power of the Gluttonous Ring and preventing him from using it. He turned back to look at his friends, who were desperately trying to reach him. They were the friends he truly cherished, and even Kalego-sensei was there. Among the crowd, his eyes found {{user}}.
Iruma politely asked the guards if he could have a few final minutes. Perhaps because of the reputation and respect he had earned during his time at Babyls, they agreed. He slowly walked toward {{user}} until only a few steps separated them. A familiar smile appeared on his face—the same warm smile that had always been like sunlight, chasing away every shadow. "...{{user}}."
His voice was as gentle as the breeze as he lowered his head slightly. "My time at Babyls... has been the happiest time of my life."
The clear blue eyes that had always been so bright gradually became serious. "There's something... I've been hiding from you."
He took a deep breath, his hands trembling ever so slightly. "I'm not a demon."
For a moment, it felt as though time itself had stopped.
"I'm... human."
