However, a brave Hero soon arose and lead the human armies against the Dark Forces and pushed them back to their stronghold. Here, with advice from Alsiel, Satan faces off against the Hero but eventually admits defeat, and instead, along with Alsiel, opens a dimensional portal and leaves their world with a vow to return. The portal exits in present-day Japan, and in addition to being shocked by their new human forms, Satan and Alsiel are taken to the nearest police station. Here, Satan is able to learn a bit about this new world, which lacks magic. As events progress, Satan and Alsiel, get new identities: Sadao Maō and Shirō Ashiya respectively, are able to secure a residence, open a bank account and go job hunting in order to survive. Some time later, on his way to his part-time job at a MgRonald franchise, Sadao encounters a beautiful scarlet-haired girl at a crosswalk and offers her his umbrella to shield from the rain.

The next morning, Emilia wakes up to find Gabriel waiting, still intending to take Alas Ramus and Emilia's sword, revealing it contains a Yesod fragment. Maou begs Gabriel to let her stay, causing him to retaliate. Alas Ramus defends Maou, calling all the gods "liars", powering herself up and attacking Gabriel in the sky, with Emilia following suit.

Later, Maou and Chiho encounter Sarue, who reveals he turned down Gabriel's proposition to work with him and that he's aware of the sacred sword's location. Chiho then talks to Maou about how she wants to become stronger so that she can support him as both Maou and the Demon King, as well as make it so everyone can be happy together. She decides to join Emi, Suzuna, and Alas Ramus on the trip to Choshi City, with the girls intending to help/keep watch over the boys. They meet Amane Ohguro, who introduces them to the dishevelled beach hut they have to run. Maou takes charge and works to renovate it to make it more appealing. Later that night, the group sees shining lights on the horizon, leading Amane to discuss a legend about the "Mouren Yassa", where ghosts appear to sink more ships to join them. Suddenly, a foreboding fog appears, forcing everyone inside, causing Amane to feel uneasy, while a large figure begins to emerge from it.

As the fog begins to pick up, Amane leaves to take the girls to their inn while the boys head to their room. They then start to hear noises and shadowy figures outside, discovering them to be a cyclops and minotaur. Before they can learn more the two demons are swallowed up a tornado. Another demon then appears, who Maou recognizes as Camio, the general he left in charge of his forces in the demon realm when he invaded Ente Isla. They take him inside before he too can be attacked by the tornado and begins to recover from his injury, transforming into a small bird. The next day, the boys get to work at running the beach hut with Amane. They start to fall under the pressure of the workload, but the girls show up to help leviate their stress. During a break, Urushihara asks Emi about Olba, who was arrested by the Japanese police after their previous battle, but they believe won't stop him from returning. He goes on to explain how he joined with him on the promise that he could help get him back up to Heaven, and provides his theory that he was aware Emi's Holy Sword contained a Yesod fragment so that he could eventually use her as a bargaining chip for Heaven. Maou introduces Emi and Chiho to Camio to learn about what he is doing in Japan. After Amane quickly pops in to check on them, Camio reveals that she was the one who attacked him and the other demons the previous night, and possesses a power greater than any human he's seen.

Later that night, Emi meets up with Maou and his group at the lighthouse to explain everything she learned from Camio. They reveal that Olba travelled to the demon realm and spurred discourse among the demons by informing them of the sacred sword in Tokyo, and how it will allow them to rule over all, giving them a Yesod fragment to help track it down; these hardliners being led by a demon known as Barbariccia. Emi also reveals that a group of hardliners is about to show up at their location, and adds they chose to keep it a secret from Amane due to her unknown immense power, and their intention to resolve things without killing. The hardliners, demons known as the Malebranche, led by Ciriotta, arrive through a gate and Emi goes to fight them. Amane then appears to hand Maou his sword, putting her trust in them to get the job done. Emi confronts Ciriotta, struggling while holding back against them, until a fully powered Maou appears to put the demons in their place. He commands the army to return to the demon realm, claiming to have the sacred sword already in his position, and that he is building power until his return. Amane uses the lighthouse to send the demons and Camio back to the demon realm, and Maou and Emi use their remaining strength to close the Gate, washing up on the shore soon after. The next morning, Amane relieves the group of their job, as they discover the beach is actually a safe spot for souls to recover and their presence has caused them to start to lose their human shape. After revealing herself to be the daughter of Earth's "Binah", she tells them to find and restore the "Daath" of their world, and with a snap, she and the beach hut vanish, leaving behind everyone's payslips and a tourbook. As the group sightsee around Chōshi, Maou marvels at human's ingenuity and how he wants to rule over them too. He gives Emi the Yesod fragment from his sword and declares his intention to conquer everyone, leading to a freak-out from Emi and Chiho.

As harvest time starts, Emi wakes the boys up to work, with her and Maou paired up to pick eggplants.

While purchasing the TVs, Maou is able to deduce that Suzuki has a crush on Alciel, and discusses this with Suzuno. She warns Maou that it would bad for her due to their secrets, with him suggesting telling her the truth and letting her decide. All the TVs in the store suddenly explode just as Emi calls the group to reveal Chiho's comatose state due to magic poisoning, as a result of being exposed to a celestial sonar. Suzuno also figures out that the sonar has resulted in turning Chiho's life force into magical energy. When another sonar goes off, an arriving Urushihara reveals it to be the cause of "Raguel the Watcher", an angel who judges other angels and has been using the TV broadcasts to send out the sonar.
