**A New Ambition** (新たな野望 *Arata na Yabō*?) is the fifty-third chapter of Osamu Nishi's *Welcome to Demon School! Iruma-kun*.

## Summary

Iruma talks to Ameri over the phone, asking how the Student Council is with her, answering that they are getting back into business, though she considers it lonely with him gone. Nevertheless, she believes things will go back to normal.

Previously at the Student Lounge, Western asked Lomiere if he was ready to face the consequences. Lomiere, while lying on a sofa covered in roses, says he knows his Division will get disbanded, which he is despondent about. Western yells that that was not what he was talking about and demands he tell him what magic he used on Ameri to change her personality. Lomiere denies ever doing something he considers "gaudy." Sure enough, Iruma reveals that the real culprit has been caught. Soon after, Alice and Clara bring forth the true criminal: a second-year student named Eligos Schenell.

They explain they tracked the equipment he borrowed from the Magic Development and Game Development Divisions and then staked out the spot where he manufactured the perfume he used on Ameri. Western angrily asks Schenell if he did what he did to overthrow Ameri. Schenell reveals that he didn't want to conquer Ameri but wanted to create a gentle version of Ameri. Schenell explains he is the captain of Ameri's new defense troops, and after watching Ameri carry herself with such dignity, he felt it was his duty to change her personality to a gentle figure to admire. Ameri ends up coming in and punishes him for his actions by having him run the Student Council training course fifty times, which the other members grab him and run out to do so.

Ameri turns to Lomiere and asks if he would like to join the Student Council. A surprised Lomiere asks if he can stand out, and Ameri says if he puts out good results, she will leave the showy work to him. He accepts while jokingly saying he may take over her council, with Ameri saying he can try. Ameri walks over to Iruma and asks him to choose which Division to join because even though he has completed his training and the Magical Tools and Research Division will open up again, he is more than welcome at the Student Council. Iruma decides to decline their invitation, though he admits he found it really fun even though it was hard. He wants to continue his Division's activities to find his own ambition rather than being swept along with someone else's. Furthermore, he is waiting for someone to return, even if he doesn't know if he will be wanted. Ameri accepts Iruma's decision, saying he would fit better with the Magical Tools and Research Division.

In the present, Iruma tells Ameri he will be fine and offers another reading session with her tomorrow as he hangs up. Alikred comes out and says the ending is quite the happy one. He teasingly tells Iruma he has a special girlfriend, causing Iruma to blush and say he is wrong. Alikred asks if Clara is his type, and Iruma nervously tells him to stop while quickly changing the subject. He says Ameri snapped back to her old self when she saw all the students during the election and asks how the spell affected her. Alikred says that she thought she wanted to be cute for whatever reason. Alikred asks if he wants her to be cute, but he says no.

Ameri feels her heart beating fast back in the Student Lounge after hanging up and wondering if she sounded weird when talking to him. Ameri wonders if she feels love for Iruma, saying she finds him dazzling and restless when she is next to him, not to mention finding him insanely cool and cute. She wonders if she should have persuaded him to join the council before looking at her reflection in a mirror. She admits she may seem rather intimidating for a girl and wonders if she should try to look a little cute. After thinking back to what Iruma said, she immediately disregards the thought and says she looks fine the way she is.

She looks at a picture of her, her subordinates, Lomiere, Iruma, Alice, and Clara, and says she has obtained another ambition and tells Iruma to prepare himself because when it comes to her ambitions, she is determined to achieve them.
