Yuru, Dera, and Yuru’s daemons take on a tricky pair of daemons — Long Arm and Long Leg — at Dera’s safe house. Only members of Dera's immediate family are supposedly able to find their way to this house, so they are all a bit befuddled as to who could be setting this daemon pair upon them. When they finally discover the master of the daemons, Dera is completely surprised, but one is more in shock than Hana! Later, Yuru decides he should get into contact with his grandmother, who lives on the island of Okinawa, as a possible lead to finding his parents.

Poor docile Iruma-kun says yes to everyone thanks to his horrible parents who have raised him to be a pushover for them. When they get the bright idea to barter their son to a demon, initially Iruma says yes out of reflex, and now he’s landed himself the grandson of the Chair-Demon of a demon school! Thanks to his insufferable bad luck and his exceptional skills at avoiding danger, these demons are convinced that Iruma is ultra powerful.
A reaper jumps from soul to soul, savoring the distress as humans beg for their lives, until he comes to a young girl who greets him with a smile when he tells her she only has seven days left to live. Perplexed, he cannot fathom why she doesn’t weep in terror, but instead tells him she looks forward to seeing him daily. She later reveals she is dying from a rare curse that had torn her family apart and turned her mother against her, making her verbally abusive. Aibi has crafted a “good girl” persona to everyone else, but conniving enough that she's convinced her angel of death is a “good boy” and is actually here to protect her from her curse and her mother.
Sixteen year old Rin had been doing physical therapy for a year to try to get used to the prosthetic for her amputated leg, but she is still unable to not reply on her cane for walking. Her doctor recommends seeking a specialist who can help check the fit on her prosthetic, but when she gets there, Rin becomes inspired by the runners who are rounding the track on their athletic blades. She stumbles into the workshop of Kazami, the grumpy architect of the Blade Runners’ special equipment who has no time for teenagers who are stuck wallowing in self pity.
Two dog owners meet while out on a walk, and they cannot be more polar opposites with their dogs and some of their approaches to life. Chiharu-san is the owner of Tsuba-chan, a Rottweiler who has a calm disposition. Chiharu is a smaller woman but has incredible strength and a commanding control over Tsuba's training. On the other hand, there's Kiyotaka-san, a strong but slightly timid owner of Monjuro, a hyper and tiny Pomeranian a fraction of the size of Tsuba. Chiharu and Kiyotaka continuously run into each other on walks and through their respective jobs. This volume finishes out with Chiharu reminiscing about how she adopted Tsuba.
