Guten Morgen!

So! You've been at True Cross Academy for a month now.

Have you gotten used to it?

Sure have!

The building's beautiful, and so are all the girls!

I'm having a lot of fun here.

Good to hear.

On another note, Shima.

What would you say is a spy's most valuable asset?

That would be his skill in decieving his enemies.

I'll be generous and give you 60 points for that.

What's truly important is the information a spy obtains.

Spies only lie in order to get their hands on information.

To that end, you must also be prepared to betray your family, friends, and even yourself.

In other words, a spy's heart must never waver in the pursuit of his goal.

Right...

And on that note, I'd like to give you three special missions designed to train you.

If you complete all three, you will be duly rewarded.

This will be your prize.

I-Is that...

No way...

I must be seeing things, right!?

Indeed, you are gazing at that most sacred of texts,

the super rare compilation of the Ecstasy Emperor's unpublished drawings!

The legendary magazine that completely sold out in a single day!?

Yes.

I should mention that this copy is uncensored.

Uncensored...

Are you sure about this?

I mean, you're the principal.

Should you even have something like this?

Oh, but I'm also a demon.

I'll follow you until the day I die!

I take it you'll accept the missions, then?

Of course!

Shima!

Over here.

Today we're on a purification mission.

Purification?

What is that? It looks like the setting of a horror movie!

It used to belong to a snack company,

but the owner's family fought so harshly over who would inherit it

that several deaths ensued.

The company later went bankrupt.

The factories were closed, but there are lingering rumors of ghosts showing up at night.

So you're saying that the ghosts of the people who died in those fights are here?

No.

We didn't find any ghosts when we investigated the building.

What we did find was an infestation of Coal Tar.

Someone must have mistaken them for ghosts.

Oh, is that all?

Thanks to those rumors, the building won't sell.

But just recently, the CEO of an entertainment business became interested,

so we've been assigned to purify the building.

Whoa, I feel like I'm in Ghostbusters with this thing!

But Mr. Okumura, aren't Coal Tars like the weakest demons ever?

All they do is float around, and most people can't even see them.

They're completely harmless unless a bunch of them fuse together!

That's true, but the area has too many of them.

Some of them may already have fused into Koks, so I will be the one taking care of them.

Wait, then what do I...

You'll be fending off the Chuchi.

Uh, can you repeat that?

Chuchi.

You mean those Chuchi!?

There won't be very many of them, but they can possess cockroaches too,

so be sure to take care of those as well.

I just came down with a stomachache, so I'll pass on this one.

Sorry, but I can't allow that.

Why? You can do this by yourself!

I'm begging you, let me go!

Sir Pheles is the one who wanted you to deal with the Chuchi.

He also told me to stop you from running out on the job.

He said if I got sympathetic and let you leave,

he'd give me a 90% paycut.

90%? How is that legal?

Besides, what's more important, money or your precious student!?

I'm sorry, but I would have a really hard time thinking of you as "precious."

And I do have bills to pay.

Mr. Okumura, you demon!

I'll curse you until the day I die!

And I'll tell all your doting female fans

a bunch of lies about how you're super evil and have a bunch of depraved fetishes!

No! Stop! I didn't mean it!

Help!

How was it?

Well, I did at least learn never to piss off Mr. Okumura.

That guy is a

sadist,

Get in there.

demon,

and lunatic all in one!

My my.

Well, that's good enough to pass your first mission.

Really?

Yes.

On to the next mission.

Spies must be able to adapt to any surroundings,

blending in as naturally as the air itself.

You will eventually be assigned a very important task.

I can assure you that this skill will prove invaluable when the time comes.

Adapt how?

Allow me to show you.

After you.

Where does that key go?

Why don't you see for yourself?

Isn't this the dorm where the Okumura brothers live?

Ding ding ding!

This is the key to the old boys' dormitory.

Why are we here, though?

You will enter the dining hall,

eat Mr. Okumura's dinner as casually as if it were your own,

and then stroll right back out like nothing ever happened.

That will conclude your second mission.

No way!

There's no way I can do that!

Don't worry.

I gave Mr. Okumura some absurdly difficult tasks earlier,

so he'll be out for a good long while.

Absurdly difficult? That makes this even worse!

Imagine coming home after a day like that and finding someone else eating your dinner!

Not even a saint would tolerate that!

You'll be fine.

Mr. Okumura is very kindhearted.

I'm sure he'll simply laugh it off.

No, no! Don't say that like you know his true nature!

Why should I have to act like a Nurarihyon anyway?

That's not spy training,

it's just plain old theft!

Just what I'd expect from a member of Myoda!

Your knowledge of Japanese folklore is impressive.

Thanks, but that's not really the point.

So you won't do the mission?

Not a chance.

The Ecstasy Emperor's Compilation of Unpublished Drawings...

uncensored.

I'll do—

Don't fall for it!

I can't let myself be baited so easily!

No!

Stay strong!

So be it.

If the carrot won't work,

I have no choice but to bring out the stick.

Bright and early Monday morning, I'll start selling this juicy gossip magazine.

There are all kinds of unfounded rumors about Mr. Okumura in here,

most too nasty for me to say out loud.

If something like this got published right about now,

I think you know what would happen,

don't you, Shima?

I'll curse you until the day I die!

And I'll tell all your doting female fans

a bunch of lies about how you're super evil and have a bunch of depraved fetishes!

He's definitely going to think it was me!

So, have you reconsidered?

Y-Yeah.

I'll do it.

I'll be happy to eat his dinner.

That's what I expected.

Good evening!

How are you, Okumura?

Oh, Shima. What's the occasion?

Is it just you?

Where are Suguro and Konekomaru?

Koneko went to some kind of club meeting,

and Bon is off training.

Oh, I see.

Oh man, that smells delicious!

Right?

I got some really good fish for half off!

But since there wasn't that much of it, I added avocado as a vegetable filler.

Hang on, Okumura, you know avocados are fruits, right?

What kind of vegetable has a pit?

Oh whoops! I always make that mistake!

This is truly the worst-case scenario!

If he had to add filler just to make it a full meal, there can't be any extra.

If I go through with this, Mr. Okumura won't have anything to eat tonight!

I hate to admit it, but I overslept this morning and didn't get to make Yukio a lunch.

And he's been so busy lately he hasn't even had time to buy food.

He'll probably be starving by the time he gets back.

He always gets grumpy when he's hungry.

Why would you tell me that now? That's the last thing I want to hear!

But I don't think the principal was bluffing about what he'll do if I back down.

And then I'll be...

I have no choice!

What?

Sorry. Never mind.

Okay, I should be able to take advantage of how naive he is.

Really though, this looks so good!

Even the colors look tasty.

Are you going to become the world's best chef on top of being Paladin?

I don't know about that!

Hey Shima, what are you doing?

That's for Yukio.

Oh man, it looks so good my fingers moved on their own!

Well, don't eat it.

If you're that hungry, I'll make you some instant ramen.

Okay, I got it.

No, I can't back down now.

I can't!

You sure are amazing, Okumura.

If everyone knew how well you can cook, I'm sure the girls would be all over you!

You think?

Yeah, for sure!

Oh, but Yukio tricked me by saying that once.

At least I learned that hard work doesn't make you popular.

Seriously, don't eat that.

He's scary when he's angry.

I know, I know!

But Okumura, you've gotten better at cooking since then, right?

Well, yeah, obviously.

And now that I think about it, you're pretty easy on the eyes too.

I wonder if you'll get a fan club sometime soon?

A fan club?

Wow, that would really be something!

I could finally get my turn in the spotlight!

The girls... the adoration... the free food!

Oh, man! That would be so great!

Come on, just a little more!

I need to get out of here before Mr. Okumura gets back!

A fan club for me, though... That could never happen!

Don't say that, Okumura! Have some self-confidence!

You're right!

Fan clubs do events, right?

And events have music, sometimes even dancing!

Oh, Shima, we have spoons if you want. And I'll make you some tea.

Oh, don't bother. I already finished it.

Finished what?

Like I said, I'm done eating—

Why are you sitting in my seat and eating my dinner?

Surely you have a reasonable explanation for me.

It's a long story.

Let me hear it.

I'm afraid I can't tell you.

But won't you forgive your precious student for his innocent prank?

What?

Great work yesterday.

So, how did it go?

He made me sit with a Bariyon on top of my legs for two hours.

And when that was over, he yelled at me for another hour.

How interesting.

I guess even Mr. Okumura will hold a grudge when his food is threatened.

So, how did you like the rice bowl?

It was so good it brought me to tears.

Very well.

You had it rough, so I'll give you a passing grade.

So, can I have the Ecstasy Emperor's Uncensored Compilation of Unpublished Drawings?

It's yours after you complete one final mission.

Thank you, God!

I'm a demon.

I'll follow you until the day I die!

That again?

Well, on to the last mission.

To test your skills in disguise and stealth, I'll have you infiltrate the girls' dormitory.

If you can enter the building without having your identity found out,

I'll consider the mission complete,

and the magazine will be yours.

Understood!

Finally!

I'm finally getting a real spy mission!

This is the free world I've been waiting for!

Not to mention I have the principal's permission to enter the girls' dormitory!

This is too good to be true!

I'm not going to fool anyone like this.

No, wait.

Doubting myself will only make it more obvious!

If I just act natural, it can still work.

No, I'll make it work!

As a true man!

Sorry I called you two on your day off.

It's fine. Don't worry about it.

You must be pretty serious to spend your day off studying calligraphy.

It's nothing.

I got ahold of an interesting text recently,

but it was written in a very loose calligraphy.

Ah, yeah, I can see why it would be hard to read if you're not used to it.

Sir Pheles informed me that you two should be well versed in it,

since you're both from the temple.

You came to the right people! We have a book about it.

It should be in Shima's room.

Huh?

Huh?

Shima... I didn't know you were into that.

Wait, Koneko, this isn't what it looks like!

You...

You too, Bon? Let me explain!

Calm down.

Let him explain himself.

Did you have some reason to be wearing that outfit?

Mr. Okumura?

Were you planning to do something unsavory?

No! I just needed to get into the girls' dorm—

Well, I'm glad you confessed.

Crossdressing with the intent to sneak into the girls' dormitory

is undoubtedly a crime.

Shima, you're despicable.

You're...

not wrong.

But this isn't what you think it is! Believe me!

Call the police. He needs to be taken into custody.

All right.

This is for his own good, right?

What are you two talking about?

You're joking, right?

I'm so sorry, Shima!

Don't actually call them!

There's no need to overreact!

I'm really sorry!

So please hang up, Koneko!

B-Bon?

Stand up, Shima.

I'll knock some sense back into you.

Don't! You'll kill me!

I'll die before I learn my lesson!

Don't worry,

once I'm done with you, I'll follow right after.

That makes it even more worrying! Could you please lighten up?

There's more to this that you're not seeing!

Do you honestly think I would do something like this?

Yes.

You monsters! I can't believe this!

Any more last words?

Wh—

What!?

The Ecstasy Emperor's Uncensored Compilation of Unpublished Drawings?

Shima, you are seriously the worst person I've ever met.

No, wait! This is just...

Reading these indecent magazines is what scrambled your brains like this.

You should be ashamed of yourself!

You look happy, Brother.

Do I?

Yes.

It must be because I recently discovered a diamond in the rough.

You mean that Renzou Shima guy?

I thought he failed all the missions you gave him?

There was no real meaning in the tasks I gave him.

I just wanted to find out if he was suitable to be my personal spy.

As it turns out, he's perfect for it.

He just looks like your average idiot to me.

You're naive, little brother.

He is faithful only to his own greedy desires,

making him a weak and shallow human,

yet he doesn't fear me one bit.

He doesn't care to suck up to authority, so he won't be easily brainwashed.

He is truly an interesting and useful asset.

I'm not looking for a soldier who will sacrifice himself to plant false information once,

but rather a spy who can report back to me many times.

Do you understand, Amaimon?

Not really, but whatever floats your boat.

I'll be sure to raise you carefully.
