**So It Was You** (あなたでしたか *Anata Deshitaka*?) is the three hundred-and-twenty-first chapter of Osamu Nishi's *Welcome to Demon School! Iruma-kun*.

## Summary

Just as Iruma is about to say something, Clara immediately grabs him while Alice asks who she is. The woman, however, says she has seen Alice somewhere before too. Off to the side, Lied, Soi and Jazz grow jealous under the assumption that Iruma is being hit on. A man then walks up to Iruma's group, covering his face with a jacket hood, and he asks the woman if she is hitting the guys, but she vehemently denies it. The other guys, however, assume the man is the woman's boyfriend and fear that he'll beat up Iruma for "making moves" on his girl. Jazz says they should call over a teacher, but just as he says, Shiida starts heading over to them.

The man looks at Iruma, recognizes him and Alice, and asks if they want to hang out with him. Shiida stands in front of Iruma and asks the man if he needs something and if Iruma knows the two people. The man takes off his hood and reveals himself to be Mephisto, and the woman is Zebubra, having met Iruma and Alice at the Deviculum while wearing masks. Both are shocked by this revelation, and both Iruma and Shiida bow in apology. But Mephisto says he never gave his name, so he's not upset, and that Zebubra's outfit made her look vastly different from how she really looks, though she retorts that the outfit was normal for her family and believes she oozes the aura of a bigshot so they should have recognized her immediately, but Mephisto thinks otherwise.

Shiida asks why the two are here, and Zebubra says she is nursing her broken heart over not becoming one of the Thirteen Crowns despite being selected as a candidate, and then she ended up making a fool out of herself to her friends by bragging that she would become one without a doubt, so she grabbed Mephisto and is forcing him to pay for all of her food and travel expenses. She then reveals that he came to do an inspection and had him bring her to the resort simultaneously. Iruma asks about this inspection, and Mephisto confirms it as his first job as a member of the Thirteen Crowns.

As for the guys in the class, Lied looks at them with a pair of binoculars, and seeing everyone acting friendly, he assumes everything is normal, but unfortunately, all of them are seething with jealousy over the fact that Iruma is surrounded by three girls in swimsuits. Soi and Lied consider finding ways to humiliate Iruma in front of them (despite knowing that Alice will incinerate them) while Jazz tries to calm them down. They then notice a shadow covering them and turn around to look at it.

Mephisto tells Iruma that the whole southern tourism district of the Demon World is under his jurisdiction, but since it is his first day, he's taking it easy and doing some basic greetings. He says his job is to keep an eye on the land's environment, people, development, commerce, and facilities; if he sees a problem, he'll report it. He even adds that Bachiko is doing something similar, much to Iruma's amazement.

Iruma then asks what Mephisto meant when he said "problem," he says it includes changes to the environment, fluctuations in the ground, or a magical beast going berserk, such as the creature currently attacking Jazz and Lied. Iruma and the others see them grabbed by large tentacles, and a large Kraken emerges from the water, which terrifies the other beachgoers. Mephisto then asks Iruma's group to help him subjugate the beast.
