**Iruma's "Dream"**  (入間の“夢” *Iruma no "Yume"*?) is the twelfth chapter of Osamu Nishi's *Welcome to Demon School! Iruma-kun*.

## Summary

As Iruma wonders if he wants to return to the Human World or stay in the Demon World, Asmodeus and Clara notice how much time he spends with Ameri.

## Plot

The next day, Opera gives Iruma his bag, which he thanks him for while turning down a horse-drawn carriage ride. Before he leaves, Opera asks if Iruma wants to return to the Human World. Just as he is about to say he does, he does some thinking and compares his life now to what it was before; having a warm home, food, and friends in the Demon World and having an uncaring mother and father, forced to live in the wild, and being taken advantage of by family and friends in the Human World. Now Iruma has no idea what he wants.

Opera says to Iruma that if he wants to return, he can try to obtain a high rank, which would allow him to go to the Human World. Opera tells Iruma that he must be prepared if he wants to live among demons. He takes his words to heart as he runs before Sullivan shows up in the carriage.

Clara plays around on Sabro's head at school while Iruma tries to relax. He thinks about what Opera said and says that since he came to the Demon World, he feels like he has been aimlessly drifting, yet he never thought about returning. Alice walks over to him and asks if he is okay, and Iruma says he is before he prepares to leave. Alice and Clara immediately tell him they will join him, but he tells them he must do this alone. After he leaves, Sabro compliments Iruma's apparent restlessness while looking at a depressed Alice and an irate Clara. Alice wonders where Iruma has been going these past few days, and Clara is upset he hasn't been able to play with her. Sabro suggests they follow him, and Clara immediately accepts the idea, with Alice finding himself following her.

Ameri starts to leave her meeting in another location when one council member asks where she is going. Ameri says she is going on a "date," having learned about what it is from Iruma during their reading session. The students are confused by what she means, and she hastily leaves before they ask what she means. Iruma and Ameri meet each other in front of the Student Lounge, unaware that Alice and Clara have followed him, wearing magical disguise glasses. Clara gets jealous, but Alice says she is the Student Council President. He assumes Iruma was scheming to control Ameri, so he believes he went alone. Alice lets Iruma meet with Ameri while holding Clara back from confronting them.

Inside the lounge, Iruma reads to Ameri volume 5 of the story. When he mentions the word "dream," Ameri interprets it as "Ambition." Iruma asks Ameri if she has any future dreams, and she tells him that she is proud to be a demon and that others should be proud too. She also wants to improve the quality of student lives and make the school a learning establishment known only with admiration. She concludes by saying she wants to help her father after graduation, and Iruma says her dream is fantastic. Ameri asks Iruma if he has a dream, and he says he is content with spending his days with good friends; Ameri immediately calls that empty idealism, and all she cares about is ambition. She tells Iruma she wants to know if he has the willpower to seize what he wants and asks him one more time.

Outside, Clara and Alice argue about whether or not she should go inside.
