Kumon	Alright, let’s go!
	Hah!
Guy	The tile’s split properly, Kumon.
	You’re doing great.
Kumon	Thanks!
Guy	Let’s stop here for today.
Kumon	Alright!
	Thank you so much!
	Karate session in the morning sure feels great~
Guy	You’re right.
Kumon	Hey hey, Guy-san, how’s your practice for the upcoming performance going?
Guy	Yeah, it’s good so far.
Kumon	I see!
	I’m looking forward to it~
	Thinking about devils makes me so excited!
	Everyone will definitely look so cool~
Guy	Kumon likes devils and the sorts right.
Kumon	Yeah!
	That’s why I’m really looking forward to see Guy-san’s Beelzebub!
Guy	I hope I can meet your expectation though.
Kumon	If it’s Guy-san, I’m sure you can act it greatly!
	You have that feel even in normal situation.
Guy	Really…
	Kumon, if you don’t mind, would you assist me in my role study?
Kumon	Me!?
Guy	Yeah. I think it’s the most helpful to get opinions from people who are familiar with devils.
Kumon	I see!
	If you’re alright with me, leave it to me!
Guy	I’ll be in your care.
Kumon	Then, let’s commence tonight!
Guy	Tonight?
Kumon	The atmosphere’s right at night, that’s why!
Kumon	As I thought, the first thing we need to do is to make a pose that suits a devil!
	Eh umm, like this… how’s this!
Guy	I see.
	…Like this?
Kumon	Oh! Guy-san, so cool…!
	After that, it’s good to create a line to go along with it.
	Things like—
	“If I got serious, you humans are as good as insects…”
	Like that!
Guy	Hmm, I see.
	“Bow before me, puny and weak humans…”
	–This kind of thing I guess.
Kumon	Yep yep, it’s great!
Itaru	You guys look like that you’re having so much fun.

Itaru	If that’s the case, I guess you have to call us first.
Tsumugi	I thought something had happened since Itaru-kun suddenly called me, so it’s about Guy-san’s role study.
Guy	Yeah, I was receiving some help from Kumon.
Kumon	Are you guys here to assist us too…!?
Itaru	When I heard about the role study for the devil’s role, there’s no way we won’t assist you, Tsumugi also has a devil role after all.
Tsumugi	We were doing similar things when we were doing role study for Itaru-kun’s alchemist role and my priest role too.
Guy	I see.
Kumon	Hey hey, let’s all do a devil etude together!
Itaru	Then, I’ll become a person who has made a contract with Tsumugi.
Kumon	If that’s the case, I’ll be the person who has made a contract with Guy-san!
Tsumugi	Eh?
Guy	Contract?
Itaru	“Ugh… I don’t think you’ll get this far, Kumon.”
Kumon	“You too, to be able to catch up with my devil.
	…Not bad.”
Guy	Has it started?
Tsumugi	It seems so.
	Then, let us join in too.
Guy	“…Kumon, I only have a bit of power left.”
Tsumugi	“Ugh… Even with all I have, I think I can only manage one more strike…”
Itaru	“It’s perfect, release all your power on that last strike!”
Kumon	“I won’t let you!
	We’ll be the one who win this!”
Tsumugi	“Haa!”
Guy	“Ooo!”
Guy & Kumon	“Final Destruction Ragnarok!”
Itaru & Tsumugi	“Hellfire Tempest Nightmare!”
Itaru	Good work~
Tsumugi	Good work.
	That was fun.
Kumon	It was so fun-!
Guy	Yeah, it becomes a good role study.
Kumon	Right! Since we’re doing this, why not we go find Tsuzuru-san now, for Guy-san’s devil role!
Guy	Now?
Itaru	Ah, there’s also that way, to ask Tsuzuru-sensei’s opinion directly.
Tsumugi	It might be a good idea to try it out with this feel.
Guy	I see, then I’ll go. Chigasaki, Tsukioka, thank you for assisting me.
Kumon	We’ll be going!
Tsuzuru	Yes.
Kumon	Good evening!
Guy	Sorry to disturb you so late, Minagi.
Tsuzuru	What happened?
Guy	I received some assistance for my role study earlier, I was thinking of letting you see it.
Kumon	We did a devil etude with the 4 people, us, Itaru-san and Tsumugi-san.
Tsuzuru	Tsumugi-san aside—I’m quite worried with the other one.
Kumon	Itaru-san did it so excitedly!
Tsuzuru	Exactly why I’m worried.
	Then, how does it become?
	You can let me see.
Guy	Understood.
	Then, I’ll start.
	–“Final Destruction Ragnarok!”
Tsuzuru	…
	… What was that?
Guy	A devil.
Tsuzuru	It’s so different from the worldview this time though!?
Kumon	Eh!? I thought it was cool~!
Tsuzuru	No, it’s just Chuunibyou!
Kumon	…Guy-san, sorry that I can’t help you with your role!
Guy	No, I’m sorry too.
	Thank you for assisting me, Kumon.
