"Valac-senpai, could you tell us who is the most impressive among Iruma-senpai, Azu-senpai, and Shesi-senpai?"
Clara looked at Valac.
"What kind of impressive do you mean?"
"Like, powerful or smart...? No, it should be in a comprehensive sense, right?"
"Comprehensive? In that case, of course..."
Suddenly, three voices rang out from behind Clara. After a day of rest, Shesi had recovered. He had only been exhausted before, and with Teacher Bueru's treatment, Shesi was completely fine, so he came to school.
"Clara, what are you doing?"
Three figures appeared behind Clara.
"Shesi-kun, and Iruma and Azu!"
Clara immediately pounced on Shesi.
"Pfft, Clara, you're too forceful, but we finally found you. The class schedule changed; we have Teacher Balam's class next."
Azu sighed.
"As expected, if you look in the direction of noise, you're sure to find her."
Shesi looked at the first-year students.
"Our little idiot must have caused you trouble, right?"
"N-no, not at all."
"Let's go, class is about to start."
"Oh, right, Iruma, where are Teacher Miki and Teacher Shida?"
"It seems they were taken for questioning because this incident was somewhat related to them, but I asked Teacher Balam, and he said it was nothing serious."
Iruma explained.
The three walked out.
Seeing this, Clara walked over to the first-year students.
"Listen up, everyone! This doctor will tell you one last thing: Shesi-kun, Iruma-chin, and Azu-chin are all super, super popular heartthrobs! But... actually, I'm the demon most loved by Shesi-kun, Iruma, and Azu~!"
After Clara finished speaking, she rushed to catch up with the three.
"Today, for the first time in a while, it's just the four of us going out to play, so the snacks and toys are all carefully selected by me! How is it? Pretty good, right?"
"Hmm, indeed, this toy is a new product."
"Hehe, I'll excuse myself for a moment~"
The other demons watched this scene.
"Valac-senpai is the strongest, one vote."
"I second that."
...In the Broadcast Division room...
"Well then, both of you, thank you in advance for today's interview."
"This time, we're doing a big analysis of the 'Heart Rupture' content. So, please welcome our first-year top student, Kurokeru Zhima."
"Hello."
"She's very cool."
"And the first-year second-place student, Jie Pai Jeje-kun!"
"By the way... this interview..."
"It's the headline."
"Excellent!"
"Hmm... then please tell us your thoughts on Heart Rupture and... things about your senpai..."
Upon hearing this, Chima looked a bit down.
"Although our team was eliminated this time, I feel that Shesi-senpai is truly amazing. He single-handedly blocked the teacher, letting us run first. While he can be a bit unreliable at times, he never denied his mistakes but admitted them openly. I always find that super cute. And although Shesi-senpai doesn't appear very gentle, he's actually a super gentle person. He considers other people's feelings, and after recovering, he immediately came to check on me and that unknown student, and he took all the blame upon himself. He's super cute."
Chima said a lot in one breath.
"Ah, the name of the unknown student Chima-san mentioned is Butis Jia Yi. From what I understand, he's also a very good demon, and he even received Shesi-senpai's affirmation."
After the Broadcast Division leader finished speaking, he suddenly felt the air temperature drop significantly.
"Eh?"
Chima recalled yesterday... "What a man's embrace! Why was it him hugging senpai? Why did he only pat my head? I also really wanted to hug senpai!" Chima murmured.
"Uh... then let's talk about Jeje-kun's side?"
"Hmm, Asmodeus-senpai is different from what I imagined; he's a true powerhouse. As a senpai, he's worthy of respect!"
"Miss Shelvia is beautiful and lively; her 'Like' truly helped a lot. And Jeje-kun's magic at the end was also astonishing. He excellently survived until the end, leveling up to Rank 3, just like the top student. He is truly a formidable rival."
Chima didn't deny it this time.
"Yes... his ability is also very impressive. I hope we can motivate each other to improve."
Chima's serious and cute appearance made everyone feel the ice melt (literally).
...Inside the Idol dorm...
Kerori looked at a gloomy object in front of her.
"What is this thing? It looks a bit familiar... could it be...?"
Suddenly, the gloomy object pounced on her.
"I'm not reconciled... Jeje is at the same rank as me."
Kerori placed Chima on her lap.
"So, you're upset because you didn't get to show off as much as you hoped?"
"Mm, and it was super short in front of Shesi-senpai..."
Kerori's brain analyzed upon hearing this.
"In front of Shesi... performance... equals..."
Kerori clapped her hands.
"So, you still didn't get to show off much, did you?"
"Mm, but I still survived until the end. If it weren't for the sudden situation, Zhi Ma-chan would have survived until the end too."
"But... if I had defended well before, Teacher Miki wouldn't have popped my balloon... and my rank wouldn't... If only... I had been first."
Kerori felt a bit helpless upon hearing this. Chima had always been first, always getting the wreath, a truly perfect genius demon. But she was still just a child, and it was natural for her to cry out of frustration!
"Uh..." Shesi walked in from off-stage at this moment and felt a bit awkward seeing this scene of sisterly affection.
"Uh... should I go out first?"
"Shesi-senpai!" Chima saw Shesi and immediately rushed up to hug him.
"Uh... when did Zhi Ma-chan arrive?" Shesi squatted down and rubbed Chima's head, saying.
"Mm, I've been here for a while. Why is Shesi-senpai here?"
Shesi gave a wry smile.
"You'll have to ask your sister about that." Shesi looked helplessly at Kerori.
Chima looked over and saw her sister looking very proud.
Suddenly, Shesi's phone rang.
"Huh? Going to see the Transforming Demon Steel? Asking if I want to go?"
Shesi immediately ripped his clothes (don't worry, he was wearing layers, there was another one underneath).
"Kerori, I'm leaving. Ameri invited me to see the Transforming Demon Steel."
Shesi dashed off, leaving Chima staring at her petrified sister.
"Ahem, anyway, Chima, don't be discouraged. You are the most sparkling right now!"
"Sparkling!"
"That's right, you've only just been caught up to, haven't you? School life is just beginning! The Demon School still has a wonderful stage waiting for you to perform on. Shine your brightest there and win the grand prize!" Kerori encouraged.
"Thank you, Big Sister! I want to be first place, learn a lot of magic, improve my academics a lot, get my body in even better shape, and then refine my feminine charm."
Chima spoke, and Kerori nodded along, but towards the end, she felt something was a bit off.
