Character
The main character of this work isHe is 14–15 years old. His first person is "I.". His antennae are his trademark. He has a small physique and androgynous appearance and is a boy who is mistaken for a woman when dressed as a woman. Although he was born in the human world, he was a hard worker who lived a life full of troubles that were unrelated to the peace of the average person because of his egoist father and mother. In order to break through trouble, he has skills such as overwhelming crisis avoidance ability, survival techniques, aikido, gluttony, and machine repair, and he has become a superhuman who maintains a strong mentality to keep calm in any predicament and has infinite defense power but zero offensive power. He is a very big eater because of the spirit of eating when he can, but he is not good at cooking because he thinks that cooking should be done by boiling or grilling.

Because of the Ring of Gluttony worn on his finger, those around him recognize his abilities, including this magical power. He uses it when he needs to chant magic, but he thinks that relying on this magic is cheating and refrains from using it except when necessary. When he was promoted to Gimel (rank 3), he called the incarnation of the evil eating ring "Ali-san", and he has a relationship with him like a partner.

When he was sold to his scumbag parents, he was confused by the environment he was in and wanted to live quietly and inconspicuously so that he wouldn't be exposed to humans. After that, he takes many actions to avoid and solve problems, but as a result, his notoriety increases.

At the time of the first rank measurement, because the familiar is a teacher and caused a problem in the flight test, it is considered impossible to measure and becomes Aleph (rank 1). He didn't want to stand out and had little desire to raise his rank, but after meeting Amelie, he began to have the goal of raising his rank, and in rank promotion exams, he always shows performances that overturn the expectations of those around him. At the same time, friendships with various demons will spread, and it will greatly affect those around him, especially his classmates. Such a life in the demon world brought about changes in him, and he began to have a desire to "protect his current life and place of residence" from his modest and selfless personality.

Due to the wishes of Caluego and the other faculty members, all of her classmates will undergo training up to the harvest festival, and Bachiko will train them to become able to wield powerful bows. At the harvest festival, he teamed up with Reed and acted using his innate survival skills. While looking for the legendary Leaf and acting separately from Reid, he was attacked by Orobas and Ocho, and although he fell into Orobas's schemes, he overcame his fear and renewed his determination to live in the demon world. After that, he succeeded in making the legendary leaf bloom while helping each other with his classmates and became a young king with Reed.

When the "TS Plan" to train and select the next demon lord was proposed by the three demon lords, he met the grandchildren of the other three lords and was recommended as the next demon lord candidate.

Abilities
As a "human" characteristic, even a single drop of blood can heal wounds, regardless of race. It also has the effect of greatly promoting growth as well as wound healing. However, since people around him don't know that he's human, he rarely uses this recovery ability in public. Aside from its healing capacity, Iruma's blood also has the power to instantly make plants grow in a massive state. A few drops would be enough to put the plant in such a position. It is unknown whether it is exclusive to Iruma's blood or human blood in general, but in theory, this has something to do with why Demons supposedly eat Human flesh or the Demon King's Prophecy. In his 14 years, Iruma experienced many hardships because of his carefree, irresponsible parents and always had to fight to survive wherever he lived. Because of this, his instincts tell him the best way to live in dangerous situations is to overcome anything as long as he can survive. In this mode, his fighting spirit heightened for his belief, which is that in order to survive, one must change themselves and become the creatures who were born in the place they are trying to survive. Once Iruma participated in the Harvest Festival, this mode resurfaced and she used it on a whim.


 * During the Execution Cannonball Arc, Sullivan strengthened Iruma's hands enough so he had an even chance against the other demons. This ability allows Iruma to catch balls thrown hard enough to shatter rocks, ice molds, and walls. This also reduces the burning effects of Asmodeus' flames, though they still get scuffed up.
