Volume 4



 Demon Diary 4 begins where volume 3 ended.

Demon Diary 

Demon Lord Krayon complains about the decor of the castle. He then complains that his 'rival' is only a child. Wanting Eclipse's service, Krayon uses a spell to throw Raenef V and his friends into another world.

In the other world, Raenef and friends are ambushed by a group of demons. The demons falsely claim that there are two girls there to eat. Raenef asks Chris if he is the second girl, Erutis being the first. Chris scolds him saying that Raenef is the feminine one, and therefore the second female the demons are referring to. In a fit of fright and anger, Erutis demolishes the demons. Once the demons are defeated, Chris declares that they are trapped in a nightmare, not another world. Saying that he can sense demonic energy, Chris then concludes that the nightmare is really just the dream of a demon.

Erutis asks Raenef to try and use his magic to get them out of the dream. When his dark arrow fails, Raenef freaks out and believes he's lost his powers; fearing that Eclipse will thus throw him out. Erutis scolds him and says the reason his magic won't work is that they are in Krayon's realm; the realm of dreams, as she concludes. Since Chris' magic won't work either, Erutis freaks out and yells at Krayon for trapping them there.

Unbeknownst to the trio, an amused Krayon is watching the events unfold in a crystal ball of sorts. On the condition that he proves Raenef V is worthy of him, Eclipse is permitted by Krayon to help his trapped master.

Regretting it immediately, Eclipse goes to Meruhesae for help. She reminds him that he still owes her for the information about Raenef V's location before he became a Demon Lord, and asks to take her payment. She takes a kiss on his forehead, knowing full well that anything more would result in Eclipse's fangirls throwing their wrath upon her. She tells Eclipse that Krayon is testing both Raenef V's worthiness of Eclipse, and Eclipse's undying loyalty to his master.

They stumble upon a castle and believe the person who's dream they are infiltrating is inside. After going in, they discover Meruhesae, who tells them that it is their dream and they can't get out unless Krayon allows them to do so. She angers Raenef by telling him he is a burden to his friends as he rushes out after them. Outside, Erutis challenges Krayon; who comes into the dream world to meet them.

Much to her astonishment, the supposed deceased Raenef IV comes to her.

Eclipse appears and blocks the attack with his own magic, getting injured by doing so. He pushes Raenef V out of the way and collapses. Krayon attacks again, but he interrupted by Raenef IV using a spell to stop time and ordering him to stop. Surprised by Raenef IV's appearance, Krayon stops his attack.

<p style="line-height: 15.75pt"><span lang="EN" style="font-family: 'Helvetica', 'sans-serif'; color: #d5d4d4; font-size: 10pt; mso-ansi-language: EN">Raenef secretly blames himself for Eclipse being hurt. He thinks he is a complete burden to Eclipse and decides to become a Demon Lord as quickly as possible. Once the four are released from the dream world, Meruhesae goes to Krayon. Neither of them seems to know what is going on. Meruhesae reflects on Raenef IV's words to him; when he declared that his child was in danger.

Erutis calls Raenef a 'cutie pie' and tells him to call her 'sis', though he thinks it would be weird to do so. Raenef and Chris fight.

After going through some jeering at breakfast from his friends, Raenef V goes to sulk. A voice offers Raenef V help to become a true Demon Lord, and it turns out to be a talking book with glasses. The book offers to unlock Raenef V's powers, to which he hastily agrees to. Eclipse goes to see him, and Raenef reacts negatively to being barged in on. Erutis and Chris also notice the changes in his personality.

<p style="line-height: 15.75pt"><span lang="EN" style="font-family: 'Helvetica', 'sans-serif'; color: #d5d4d4; font-size: 10pt; mso-ansi-language: EN">The next day, Raenef V receives a letter, intercepted by the others, saying that his summons to the Demon Lord Order's meeting has been canceled. Raenef considers it a grave insult. Eclipse is now determined to find out what is behind Raenef's odd behavior.
