**Human Treatment** (人間の処遇 *Ningen no Shogū*?, or **Handling a Human** in the official English volume) is the thirty-eighth chapter of Osamu Nishi's *Welcome to Demon School! Iruma-kun*.

## Summary

As a result of the Division Party, Iruma has more popular now than he had before. He tries to hide from the crowd and panics about what would happen if everyone finds out he is a human being. He bumps into Ameri, and when he asks what she is doing, she explains she is looking for her acquaintance and leaves to continue. Afterward, Iruma thinks it is strange seeing Ameri act so hastily, causing him to wonder who exactly her acquaintance is. He is then approached by a tall adult asking if he is Iruma.

The two sit down on a bench, and Iruma feels the man is similar to someone he knows based on his appearance and the stare he is giving him. The man thinks back to his interrogation of Sullivan and how he said he had to return to the school after receiving Robin's message. He tries to keep Sullivan from leaving so he can complete the investigation, but he eventually backs off when Sullivan releases a very intimidating aura.

In the present, the man grabs Iruma's face and, while looking at him, theorizes Iruma was forcibly brought to the Demon World by Sullivan, so he must be human. He continues to analyze him as Iruma feels like he has done this before. The man sits closer to him and tells him a secret: he has met a human previously. Iruma asks if he caught the human, which the man confirms. He then says the upper half was given to a lab for experimentation while the lower half was eaten, scaring Iruma before revealing it was a joke. In reality, the human was "protected" and safely sent back to the Human World; the statement surprises Iruma. The man says the returning procedure involves erasing all Demon World memories. He also says that the number of Demons "returning to the originator" is increasing, which is dangerous for humans. The man is about to ask Iruma if he needs any help before Ameri pops up and calls him her father.

As it turns out, the man is Ameri's father, Azazel Henri, which surprises Iruma even more. Henri asks Ameri if she knows Iruma, and she confirms, saying he has accomplished many things and announces him an excellent demon. Henri, accepting this statement, apologizes to Iruma for disturbing him and tells his daughter that he didn't expect her to evaluate one person that much. Ameri says she often talks with him, which disturbs him. Ameri says they meet alone and drink tea together, causing Henri to ask why. Ameri answers that they talk about love, trying to hide the fact they read "First Love Memories." She continues saying they talk about the future, though while she means their dreams, Henri interprets everything she says as marriage.

Henri starts feeling dizzy as Ameri and Iruma ask if he is alright. Henri says their relationship is not good enough for him to call him father, which Iruma never did. Ameri decides to take her father to the infirmary to cool off as she says goodbye to Iruma. Iruma admits Henri scared him but acknowledges that "protection" is something he should prioritize. Though he gets pulled out of his thoughts by Clara and Alice, who find him so they can go to class. As Iruma walks back with them, he says to himself that he can never tell anyone that he is human.
