01
40th Ball: Come on, I got it already...

02
Elyse: Why. How come I didn't turn human?!
Kouta: Elyse, is your body changing somehow?!
Elyse: E... Even if it was, how am I supposed to tell...?//Tha... that's right. The Demon's Seal./*Hah*//If I'm no longer a Demon/the seal should be gone......!

03
Narrator: In the meantime, somewhere else in town.//The Holy War proceeds between the Leader of all Angels and the Demon Lord.
Mike: Da... damn you, Satan...![tn: See the irony, there?]//Such demonic power. You're the King of Hell for a good reason. But defeat is a luxury I cannot afford...//Protect me my Lord!//MMRAAAAAHHHHH!!
Satan: Aaaaanh♥

04
Mike: DIVINE WRATH!/HOLY RETRIBUTIOOOOON!![tn: The word "tenbatsu" (天罰) can be understood both ways, so I chose to reflect that somehow.]
Satan: Ha/Ha/Aaanh. Michael, that's terrific... When did you become so manly...?♥
Mike: Hngah/(Kouta is laboring to turn the Lesser Devil human in order to save her. Buying him the time he needs is the least I can do!//However)/Satan... I need to ask you something.//Has a denizen of Hell ever known love and become human because of it?

05
Satan: Hehahaha... Hell no! What demon in their right mind would ever wish to hasten their own death?
Mike: What?!
Satan: If by love you mean willingly sacrificing oneself out of compassion for somebody else/Well, the only thing that can accomplish is letting you shorten your own lifespan. Small wonder human beings are all so weak!/(BWAHAHA/HAHAHA)
Mike: You're getting it wrong, Satan...!//You were an angel too, at some point.../I'll make you remember.........

06
Mike: WHAT A WONDERFUL THING IT IS TO LOVE!!
Satan: Mi... Michael? No, don't.../AAAAAH♥
Narrator: 20XX Aug. 7th
Kouta: Hey, Elyse. Wake up!//Quickly, prepare yourself. We're going out, remember?!
Elyse: Mhhhhhhh...

07
Elyse: Why so early...?
Kouta: Because any later, and the place is gonna be jam-packed... Which ain't no good for my dating program!
Elyse: Remind me: who is it who dozed off halfway through MY dating plan the last time? Sending everything to hell in the bargain?!
Kouta: (Haha)/We... well, um. I...

08
Elyse: Mo... Mousey Land?[tn: The Japanese often refer to Disneyland that way, for obvious reasons.]
Kouta: You seemed pretty interested by the commercials and such.
Elyse: Me? Not... Not really...
Kouta: Come on, now. Let's go.
Elyse: Woooooow. This is like a fairy-tale. A real dreamland.♥[tn: And not fairy tail, as I've seen it written sometimes! That's a valid spelling only in the manga by the same name, damnit!>:(]/(Oh, my oh my.)
Kouta: (Why, Hell is a lot more of a fantastical place, if you ask me...)
Elyse: Kouta, hurry up.../(Oh. Mousey?!)
Kouta: Not so fast...

09
Kouta: Why do you think we're here if not for this?
Elyse: I know!


10
Kouta&Elyse: HIIIIIIAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARGHH?!
Elyse: (Ultimately)

11
Elyse: (the Demonic Seal won't go away)//I'm a Lesser Devil, after all.//Experiencing such a thing as love//was out of my reach by definition...)

12
Kouta: (Don't you give up, Elyse!//The way I see it... You did say you loved me/But these were only words)

13
Kouta: (Because you don't understand yet//You don't know what it really is to be in love with someone...//And that can only mean one thing: your feelings me aren't coming from the bottom of your heart. Not yet!//What the hell?/Look at me. Playing smartass...!)

14
Kouta: (Don't worry)

15
Kouta: (There's still one day left!//I'll make it happen/I will make you fall for me.//I'm gonna make you fall in love.)

16
Kouta: (I'll show you what true passion is about/Just you watch!//And then)

17
Elyse: What now?
*point*
Kouta: (Then/you'll be able to turn human)
Elyse: This is... almost like a real castle. Can we ever get a room in a place like this?♥
Kouta: Huhu./Just leave it to me! I know just the thing...

18
Kouta: It... it's a bit of a step down from the other one, though...
Elyse: A FRIGGIN' LOVE HOTEL?![tn: I trust no one made it so far into that series without knowing what a Love Hotel is...]
Kouta: We... Well, given my financial resources, anything else was right out...
Elyse: ... Dang it. This'll have to do! Let's get in!

19
Kouta: Wo... woow.♥//(She's responding positively...?!//That's right. She's been in a pretty good mood, and all!)/E... Elyse. How was your day? Had fun?
Elyse: Mh..../Yeah, sort of.
Kouta: S... so what about me?!
Elyse: That's the thing, isn't it?! Well...

20
Elyse: To put it bluntly

21
Elyse: I hate your guts![tn: Elyse merely says "I hate your guts" over 3 pages. The additional padding is there to make up for the unnatural sentence breaks that would create in English.]//Very well.../I'm taking a shower!
Kouta: Ah...

22
Kouta: (I am just some worthless.../totally pathetic scumbag...)

23
Kouta: Today was just a cheap date. Nothing more... I can't even show her to nice places and make her fall in love with me./Can't even afford what it takes to make her feel good.//I save the world, but I can't even rescue the one person I care about./How much of a lowlife does that make me...?!//What gives...? How can you bolt upright in a moment like this?//Now of all times... How can you...?/(Booh.../Sob./Boo-hoo.)/Stupid, stupid dick...

24
Narrator: Seventh day into the prolongations. Kouta's self-restraint has finally reached its limit.
Elyse: Kouta...//Why are you sleeping?/Let's get to business...![/end
