[NARRATOR] The end of the year is approaching
in the Netherworld.
Our story today takes place a little
before the end of December, on the eve of Undecember.
Hold up a second.
What's Undecember?
A full year in the Netherworld is 13 months.
The changeover from the evening of December 31 to Undecember 1
is called New Moons Eve.
Oh, sort of like New Year's Eve.
I guess the new year in the Netherworld
starts with Undecember.
[NARRATOR] That's correct, Iruma,
meaning this is the end of the year.
Therefore, it's a time for demons
to let loose and enjoy themselves
with some well-deserved merriment.
[laughter]
But how did things end up like this?

Thanks for inviting us over, bro.
Greetings and salutations.

Hey, guys.
Welcome.
We've been expecting you.
Yeah, thanks for having us.
How dare you decide all this without asking.
[JAZZ] We should all celebrate.
[CLARA] Let's throw a party.
[LEAD] Yeah, at Iruma's place.
[IRUMA] Sure.
I'll ask Grandpa and Opera if it's OK.
[PURSON] I'll go.
You should be grateful for Master Iruma's kind
heart and generosity.
Mind your manners, exercise moderation,

Please allow me to lend a hand.

Heads up, peeps.
I've got cushy cushions coming your way.
Pillows for everybody.
Now that it's almost Undecember,
what y'all gonna do?
Any plans for the time off from school?
Yes, actually.
My family's going on vacation.
Well, perhaps I'll spend time with my sister.
I'll also be with family, kind of.
I'mma be catching up on sleep.
My father and I will be training, that we will.
My time's gonna be spent watching
the Dem-dol Games for sure!

I watch that every year, I do.
A dream festival where all the popular
dem-dols come together.
How exquisite!
Oh, yes.
I wonder who all will be participating this year.
Yeah, same here.
You guys, who are your favorites?
Come on, let's talk in depth about everyone's dem-dol bias,

It's time for a toast, y'all.

[IRUMA] Opera prepared this huge spread for us.
Well done, Per-per.
You're awesome.
Mm-mm! Oho!
This feast is quite delectable.
My, my!
What a harmony of flavors.
This must have taken quite some time to prepare.
[gulps, sigh]
That's delicious.
Oh, you're sure moving fast.
Hey, this tastes interesting.
What is it?
[NARRATOR] Relaxcider, a carbonated beverage
that even kids can enjoy.
Perfect for getting into the party spirit.
It ain't alcohol, but it'll make you feel real good.
Wait, but is that really safe for us to drink?
Yeah, dude.
It's just a party favor.
It's supposed to set the mood,
so don't worry about it, my man.
I brought the drinks here.
It's just for fun, alcohol free.
Oh, well, I guess that's OK.

Wella-- um, hey, Clara, are you doing OK?

You're getting kind of chubby ain't you, Irumakins?
Looky, your belly's squishy.

She's fluffing you!
I'm not fat!

You like this spot, don't you?
Do something, Azz-azz.
Stop her.
Iruma is getting--
[sighs]
Master Iruma.
Master Iruma is
so small.
I know better than anyone else just how capable you are,
but still you're just so tiny.
Your body is too small.
I feel like I could break you if I'm not careful.
As your best friend, it truly makes me worry.
Please hurry and get bigger!
Seriously, why are you so small?
[LEAD] Not you too, Azz-azz.
Hey, hang on.
[NARRATOR] Make sure you mix it with water.
Warning, if you drink it as is, you might get too excited.
Crap!
This is a concentrate.
It says right here to mix it with water.
This is bad, Iruma.
Now those two are gonna start acting up.
You're far too small, Master.
It's dangerous.
No, I am not small.
Also, you've been spending too much time with Shax.
Is it because you're both so tiny?
[LEAD gasps]
Lead is the small one here, not Iruma.
[LEAD] Excuse me?
OK, then, let me say this.
You and Clara have been getting along so much better recently,
you even started calling her by her first name!
[LEAD] Ah! He drank it too?
Stupid Clara and I only spent time together
because it was necessary, right?
[whistles]
But I missed you, guys!
Not to mention, even in the Harvest Festival and gaming,
you cast us, your best friends, aside and spent time with Shax.
[whistles]
Yeah, well, there were some times when it was really hard
for me to talk to you two.
We're your best friends, aren't we?
You can talk to us whenever!
[whistles]
[LEAD] Crap! Not good.
I can't handle these guys on my own.
Help you, guys.
The Iruma squad's--
You want to see who's stronger?
I won't lose.
Please drink some more, will you?
Oh, I shall gladly consume.

Behold my masterpiece, shiny classmate.
Sabro, what's so funny?
Huh?
What did you do?
It's a misfit sandwich.
It's so tall.
You good up there?
For real, though, I don't get it.
Why do girls only like the gloomy jerk bag types?
It's so lame.
Why am I not popular but mean teachers like Kalego are?
Don't worry.
Guys and girls don't always mesh.
Are you two seriously talking about relationships right now?
[giggles]
Well, you live and you learn.
Even a differential equation is easier to understand
than the heart of a woman.
Allocer, you have been hiding a girlfriend.
Spit it out.

Well, I can make a mean bowl of "mamen."
I'll take care of everyone!
Taking care of everyone is a big bro's job!

Get nice and comfy.
Relaxing, that it is.

Jazzy, what are you doing?
You always leave everything up to Garp.
I don't have a choice, do I?
After all, I'm everyone's big bro!

Who's the big bro?
It's me.
I think of all the misfits as my own little brothers
and sisters.
Yeah, Jazz the big bro here.
Hey, where did you come from?
What do you think, Lead?
I mean, I guess you're sort of like an older brother.
Aah!
[LEAD] What the devi's happening?
And I think of Lead as my little brother, too.
All right, but I'm the oldest brother, and you're the second.
OK.

You're the 66th brother.

[OPERA] Netherworld Devotee.

I must say, Iruma, sir,
as of late,
you have been cutting loose a little too much.
[groans]
First, you stayed out all night
before the music festival.
[cheering]
And now you're going overboard at parties.
As it stands, things cannot continue this way.
We need to get your life back on the right path.
Yep, I agree with you on that.
[OPERA] Good, as you should.
I've discussed this with Lord Sullivan.
Let him copy your daily routine
to get him back on track.
And that was the conclusion we came to.
Huh, wha?
[OPERA] So for today, you will be learning
what it takes to be an attendant.
I will follow your guidance, Opera.
You know, even my posture feels like it's better now.
And I can tell Grandpa picked out all these things for me.
[beep] Huh?
With a dash of your taste, too, Opera.
Indeed.
I chose that myself.
It was custom made.
Custom made?
First off, we'll start with cleaning the living room.
Right.
I will move all the furniture out of the way.
Oh, thank you very much.

OK.
Go ahead.

Wow, Opera, you really are amazing.
I mean, you're so efficient and fast.
Oh, do you have any pro tips for cleaning better?
In fact, I do.
It's best to do it with feeling.
Try this.
Thanks for letting me play games all the time.
I'll limit my gaming to one hour a day.
I'll-- I'll limit my gaming to one hour a day.

Coats and such go here, pants and underwear go there,

From the right, there's detergent for coats,
underwear, hand-washing, and shoes;
dry cleaning for formal event attire,
one for making Lord Sullivan's scarf all fluffy,
one extra strength.
And for stubborn stains,
use one drop of super powerful Devi Cleanser.
Amazing.
So many different kinds.
In particular, Lord Sullivan's clothes must
be washed with utmost care.
They're all rather expensive items.

Lord Sullivan doesn't like Devi eggplants,
so I sneak them in without him noticing.
That's brilliant.
[NARRATOR] Table setting.
[OPERA] The cutlery will be used from the outside in,
so line it up like so.
Napkin on the left, plates are 6 centimeters apart,
and two glasses.
Got it.
Table manners are important in public settings,
so learning and remembering them is crucial.
Many noble demons have made their own customized tableware
and treasure them.
In the past, whenever Lord Sullivan and I
would get into petty fights,
I'd often hide his favorite fork.
[IRUMA] Oh, did you really?
[snickers] - Hold on.
You don't need to write that part down.

I'm getting to learn so much about you
and the work that you do, Opera.
It makes me really happy.
Ah, is that so?

We support them in every way we can

That means Grandpa's super important to you.
I'm right, aren't I?
Yes.
Yeah, I thought so.
I mean, at this point, we're basically like family now.
Undeniably, my feelings are of adoration, devotion,
and also
of dependence.
Dependence?
[OPERA] Compassion for others is scarce in the Netherworld.
So what exactly does it mean to serve someone?
I was given the answer.
[tense music]
I truly believe that if I offer up
everything I have down to my last drop of blood,
to the very tips of my fingers,
my master will give me even more in return.
I just have to keep believing in that with my whole being.
Dependence in the name of hope
is what it really means to serve.
