Otakura has many hobbies — manga, anime, and collecting dolls, to name a few — that make him an “otaku”. He tries to hide his nerdy hobbies from his new high school classmates, but his diagonal neighbor spies some of his doodlings and takes an interest in his talents, particularly as they can help her. She asks “Otaku-kun” to help her re-create a press-on nails trend, try new hair styles, and even intervene with her friend who is being targeted by bullies. Otakura’s new friend, the vivacious and energetic Yua, is a “gal”, someone obsessed with fashion and being on the latest trend. The two span the hierarchy of social ladders, but Yua could care less about Otakura’s reputation.

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.

It's time for the ball to officially announce Prince Renato's engagement to Maria Annovazzi, which will also be the announcement of Prince Placido's engagement to Aidia. This means lots more dancing lessons for both couples. Mimi is nervous she'll look foolish in front of the subjects because of her energetic and spirited dancing, which is not exactly the customary style in Rubini. But during the dancing rehearsals, Lord Ireneo, Renato's relative, arrives and is hurt to find out that he's not invited to the ball! 
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.

In this land, there are two kingdoms, both with descendants of the great Erdrick, and both expecting newborn princes. Evil forces work against both royal families in attempts to establish a foothold for the Fiendlord Imagine. In the kingdom of Carmen, loyal knights thwart the plot to steal the baby prince, but at great cost. The young Lunafreya escapes the castle walls with baby Arus and is rescued by a sandsailor. In the northern kingdom, demons have been more successful, and they are able to steal a baby prince for the fiends. Ten years pass, and the young Arus has been training to take back his kingdom and vanquish monster-kind from kingdoms across the land. |
