"Alright, we may have lost the last stage, but this isn't it." Eiko watched as Kerori started her speech. "We're going in hard, next up is Archery."

"Finally, something I can guarantee absolute victory in." Izu confidently spoke. "Don't worry guys, I got this. If I failed at an archery competition, I'm sure Barbatos would shoot me down from wherever she is and kill me on the spot."

"Izuku, a question if I may." Lied spoke up, getting everyone's attention. "How do you make your bow?"

The boy blinked. "With a spell."

"A spell that generates armor that specifically everyone saw you use?"

"Okay, it's a little more complicated than that, but it's no different from using Quam-Quam." He showed off the ring. "I say 'Quartz-Quartz' directing the spell at the ring, and it becomes whatever I want it to be."

"Alright, so you're going to change it up so it doesn't look like the same bow?" Lied asked.

Izuku paused, putting his hand near his head in thought, before turning to a small black ink that was invisible outside of most of the group's preferable vision. "... I think I have something experimental, but it should be cute and different enough to be usable."

"Just don't turn into a bunny, you have a bad track record of making the animal-look cute on you." Kerori reaffirmed.

"Hey, they look adorable!" Eiko, Ameri, and Clara all spoke in unison.

"You're all furries, so your opinions don't count." So this is why Gaako always called her a bitch.

"I'm not a furry! Just because my horns are shaped like cat ears doesn't mean I do it on purpose, even if it does look nice." Ameri blushed. "And the bunny ears really do highlight Izzy's fluffy head."

That reminded Eiko of something important she needed to say. For the threeway. "Say, Ameri-chan? What's your opinion on hamsters?"

The girl blinked. "Small creatures that need protection, why?" Perfect.


Gontetsu cracked his neck and took a large dose of water. He was never one for live commentary, he preferred to watch recordings and note techniques with time. However, they bribed him well, and this was the Demdoll games itself. He couldn't say no to such an offer.

"It's time for the Demdoll Archery Event!" Shouted Machara, getting the audience excited with his peppy voice. "While everyone gets into position, we'll explain the rules. All targets will be moving, and Demdolls can use whatever means they wish to attack them. The faster moving the target, the more points it will give them. The highest score wins!"

A simple technique to show a keen eye for crowd control even when performing. "This event will be about keeping one's poise and precision down pat, let me remind you to keep yourselves sparkling as ever, for Demdolls everywhere." Gontetsu spoke to the crowd.

"Too bad this is also the hardest event for any of the competitors. It's why it's also the only event that we allow contestants to wield tools outside of natural magical skills. Although there are still some that seem to prefer no weapon at all." Indeed, the rookie Izumi walked on the field with nothing in her hands whatsoever.

Izumi muttered something, before looking with determined eyes to the crowd. "Quartz-Quartz! Shine on, Star!" The ring on her hand glowed brighter and brighter, before giving an explosion as shooting stars sounded in the arena.

Gontetsu used his years of experience to peer in and observe as the girl was … covered in lights? It was strange, she wasn't quite naked but he could make out the figure of her body itself, almost as if it was censored out in action.

Her body moved, almost sensually but still retaining the innocent cuteness. Grabbing one of the stars, she slid it along as it began to form a new costume! Was this an improvised form of changing on stage, instead of normal transformation magic? So far it was gathering interest.

She slowly formed accessories and clothing with each shooting star, the costume making its mark as it came into being, green and black, an inky space type of blackness that allowed for white stars to shine and show off. "Emerald Archer of the Stars: Izumi! I'll pierce right through your heart!"

There were noticeable accessories, little bracelets, a hair pin, but most importantly a bow that looked like it was forged from two shooting stars colliding, a string of fate itself in the hands of the somewhat nervous girl. The crowd ate it up, screaming.

"An unbelievable development just occurred as Izumi materialized a bow out of thin air! Gontetsu, comments?"

"..." For the first time he didn't know what to say to such a conflicting display of cuteness and sensuality. "I believe I have seen the next generation of Demdolls … clearly, we have evolved beyond even my expertise." He was proud, such innovative girls. He wondered how much pride was in the girl down below.


Izuku would have furious words with Lizy later. A magical girl? She even made him do a dance and everything! He's lost every sense of pride he's ever held within himself, or gained while being in the Demon World. "I am so glad mom promised she wouldn't let anyone else see this."

"So adorable!"

"Can you teach me that spell!?"

"That bow looks awesome, who's your designer?"

At the very least he would beat the posers. "An impressive display, but that's all I've seen." He turned to the crow girl from Gyari's team. "Does the scrawny gall have what it takes to fire decent shots?"

"Decent? DECENT?" He didn't know if it was the spirit of competition inside of him or his dwindling sanity, but that set off something inside of him. "I'm a perfect shot. I'm going for a flawless victory. I guarantee I'll shoot down EVERY target here."

"Sure kid, whatever you say." The crow pulled up her feathery arm and-cocked it. Right, of course, the feather gatling wing. Should have expected something like that at this point.

"Okay, so Perfect Path is only going to help me so much, and Azz's firepower won't do me any good if I can't hit them….hey Lizzy, you still there?"

"In your hair clip boss, like the space theme?"

"Actually yeah, nice touch." He was going mad. There was no doubt about it now. "Say, wanna try something new? I got an idea from watching Barbatos, so how'd you like to steal a trick from her?"

"Oh yeah, but it's gonna be a bit of a strain for someone that strong. We'll break after one shot." Well he's come this far, Plus Ultra.

"Then one shot is all we'll need." After all, who said they couldn't fire EVERYTHING at once? "Channel it the moment they give the go." He says, pulling on the bow.

"Alright everyone … get ready." Remember, accuracy is key, missing means one is dead. "Get set." Speed is also important, if someone doesn't shoot fast enough, one is dead. "Go!" So one must fire everywhere instantly.

"HELLSTORM SMASH!" He fired the bow. "AIR FORCE!" The suit shattered, unable to use complex spells for the next three hours, but this was enough. The arrow fired higher, higher, until it reached the apex … then exploded into a blaze of fire and shooting stars that rained down, hitting every target without missing.

"U … unbelievable! With a perfect display of beauty, Izumi hits every target, nobody else gets a chance to shoot!" Every girl stared in awe, let them. "What do you have to say Gontetsu … Gontetsu is having a heart attack folks, be right back." Ah...he didn't literally pierce through someone's heart, right?


Opera once again brought refreshments for everyone. "More snacks." He offered the many … many children that they would have to clean up after.

"Yay, thank you Operako!" Spoke the little Valacs, making their way to the candy.

"THE CAKE IS MINE! KOOPA TROOPA! ENGAGE IN BATTLE!" The Koopa kids initiated a little war. So much chaos in one house. Life was definitely more fun with Izuku in their lives now.

"Thank you Opera, we of the Asmodeus household graciously accept your gift." How formal we're these kids raised? They looked preschool age.

"Um … I'll just take the water." Eita let everyone else fight as he simply took water and one fruit. Looks like the sister took all impulsiveness.

"So...should we start planning for an Izuku-apocalypse?" Gaako asked beside her boyfriend Asmodeus. "He's obviously playing into the madness, and from the looks of it, he can reign hell over us whenever he wants."

"I feel as Nakama we are allowed a pass if he decides to murder everyone … but on the off chance it's not, your house clearly is more fortified." Asmodeus spoke rationally.

"Just imagine if this was Deku, then we'd have the Netherworld as a whole to worry about." Yes, Opera clearly hoped that whatever brought this 'Deku' out didn't happen again. They were still looking into why the young master was growing a horn.

"Izuku has grown so strong. I haven't seen his progress with magic all that much." Inko spoke proudly with tears beginning to well up. Opera prepared the emergency life jackets and inflatable raft ride beside the T.V. "Even if it's not the most conventional way, I'm just so happy he's grown."

"I can say the same for my niece. I've never taken Eiko for the athletic type."

"And my little Clarine is having so much fun! Look at her cheering everybody up!" It seemed everyone loved the progress on screen. Truly, a happy moment for all.

"Yo, Izugly, let's have a chat!" The entire room went silent at the declaration.

"… You know, this is actually kind of interesting." Young Asmodeus spoke bravely. "People usually call him plain at worst, this is new in-"

"Azz, please be quiet." Inko spoke in her evil tone, making the boy's lips clench tight.

"Yeah Azz, stop saying stupid stuff." Even the little Viole was copying 'mamadoriya'. Did this count as a good influence?

"Hey, it's not stupid! Those freckles look really bad!" Lily shouted at her sister. At the very least she was too young for the mother to target, safe from the harm.


Gyari walked up to the girl after calling her out. "So you managed to wipe out the competition, impressive for someone like you.

"Oh thank you! I've never felt better after you said that." The bitch has had the gall to act high and mighty with that smile that seemed genuine. Two faced hoar.

"Of course, someone as unpleasant to be around as you clearly needs whatever handicap they can get." She retorted. "For example, using magic instead of natural raw skill."

"Isn't magic just raw skill entirely?" Izugly asked with a tilted head. "I mean, that was my first go at the moment it started. I guess you're too weak to pull off something like that."

"Weak you say?" She asked with a grin, a vein nearly popping out.

"Yeah, and you even gave me the nickname 'Izugly' I feel I should return the favor … Gyareak? That sounds fine."

"Oh, you think you're a funny woman now? You think you have jokes?"

"No, I'm just glad I'm able to keep your attention! Nice to know I, someone so 'ugly' as me can grab the eyes of someone as unruly and brutish as you. Clearly your ears aren't as bad as I thought, then again your chosen genre probably makes all your fans deaf so they probably can't hear whatever garbage you give them."

"… I'm going to break you … like a candy bar."

"And I'd snap you like a twig beneath my heels, but you're lower than any stick I can come across. And really, you're doing all of this to impress ONE demon? Talk about aiming low. So much for showing ambition."

"Oh please, like you can comprehend me. I'm not aiming for one, I'm aiming for THE one. Kuromu is the only demon worth a damn out of every girl on the planet. And what do you do? Shoot arrows with tools and rely on magic for every single event? Talk about a handicap, you'd be out of here with that ugly mug if it wasn't for all that power behind you."

"Hm, let's see, have the power to do almost literally anything I want, or constantly spew nonsensical bullcrap everytime I talk? I'll stick with having an actual use outside of making annoying white noise for a living."

"Annoying white noise you say? Do you all think I'm just white noise!?" She shouted to the crowd.

"Gyari, your music is amazing!"

"I love hearing you scream!"

"I left my entire family behind just to see you live!"

"And how about you? Besides your magic I doubt you can sing with the scratchy voice of yours."

"Oh wow, insulting something other than my face. Again, thank you. It's nice to hear some variety. I've never been more encouraged to give my all before now, so enjoy the spotlight while you can. I'm going to smash through whatever ambition you have." Whatever … oh that wouldn't stand!

"My ambition … is to win and marry the love of my life, Kuromu!" She shouted to the world, which went silent. "And last I checked, I doubt you ever had a crush on a single girl, you can't comprehend ambition to destroy planets and break your own bones for a lone woman, can you?!" Gyari shouted out in rage.

"Of course she can." Oh, look at this, Kuromu coming onto stage. Trying to defend her ugly and worthless- "Because Izumi is my bride!" … WHAT!? Gyari could feel everything shatter inside of her as the stadium gave a confused scream. The only one looking as confused as her was Izumi for some reason.
