**What My Ability's For** (私の能力は *Watashi no Nōryoku Wa*?) is the two hundred-and-twenty-eight chapter of Osamu Nishi's *Welcome to Demon School! Iruma-kun*.

## Summary

In a flashback, Alice tells Clara to think wisely and to protect her Kouhai since she is their Senpai. Clara tells them to leave everything to her.

Back to the present, Team Clara has taken refuge behind the vending machines. Yabashi explains that Suzy can control her Gatling Daffodils with a flute, and as much as they want to run, they shouldn't abandon the barrier they set up to protect themselves. Fuwatoro starts panicking as Yabashi turns to Clara for suggestions. Instead, the two find her drawing up a banner saying, "We should calm down" while playing music. The look the two gave her told her that this wasn't the time for stuff like that.

The two ask her for battle plans, but Clara ends up drawing up a blank. She thinks back to when Alice scolded her for her thoughtless actions regarding the things she can pull out of her pocket, as he finds the things she pulls out weird. However, Iruma defends her by saying that he considers her ability amazing and that she only uses it when she's having fun, which he sees as her best quality. Remembering these words, Clara comes up with an idea which will involve a lot of fun.

In response, Clara pulls out several heart-shaped balloons to confuse Suzy, which works. Clara boasts that she won't be able to find her junior's balloons. Suzy replies that, in that case, she will pop every single balloon. She manages to shoot them but misses a few because Fuwatoro had tied the balloons to the Dancing Daisies, which causes them to sway back and forth. Once Suzy runs out of ammo, she prepares to reload but finds Clara sitting inside her flowers.

It turns out that Clara's main goal was to distract Suzy so she could sneak up on her. Yabashi suggested she should jump into the flowers as they retract their guns when reloading. Fuwatoro says it's dangerous because if her timing is off, it could harm her. But Yabashi handles that with his Bloodline Magic, Perfect Understanding, which allows him to see the internal structure of all things. Once he saw the guns retracted and reloading, he threw Clara towards the flowers, which delivered her straight to the teacher's feet. Now that she is close, Clara pulls out a big pepper shaker and pours it on Suzy, causing her to start sneezing uncontrollably and preventing her from playing her flute. The three take this opportunity to flee, but as Fuwatoro thanks Clara for her plan, Fuwatoro pops her balloon!

This action stuns everyone as Fuwatoro quickly realizes she can't control her motor functions. She looks closely at her arm and realizes there are threads wrapped around it. Suzy says it is "Puppet Grass", a rare species that controls its prey by wrapping around them. She then tells the team that they will seriously suffer for ruining her makeup, much to their horror.

Elsewhere, Iruma hears a pop sound.
