Mairimashita! Iruma-kun - Ch. 408 - Face-to-Face

[RolliLolli]

Oh I can only imagine how much trouble he'll be in. But I'm willing to bet that Bachiko will be just as embarrassingly proud of how well Iruma was able to pull off her style and mannerisms. Takes a very devoted pupil to mimic their master like that.

This was my thought, too. Yeah, she'd probably be a little pissed, but also really flattered that he can imitate her so well, because he's that devoted as her disciple.

There are also feel of magical power to compare, no matter how good the disguised, demons with magical average magical power won't be able to imitate it properly.

Even if they do possesses enough magic power to imitate Bachiko's, as stated in the chapter, Bow Creation is a technique that is notoriously hard for demons to master.

Bachiko's other students or members of her family might be able to create a bow, but they won't have enough magic power to give off the aura of a 13 crown. Conversely, someone like Kiriwo might be able to amass enough magic power to pose as a 13 crown, but they won't have the skills to create a Bow as perfect as Bachiko's.

So really, if there's someone who could pull off such a tremendous skill, with the prowess of a 13 crown, then by all rights that someone HAS to be either Bachiko herself, or a demon equals to/surpasses the 13 crowns.

Haha. Great deception.

But I must say, "No! Bad Rocks! Ameri shouldn't look like that! That smile in the final page is too.... not Ameri!"

 

[Gokudomatic]

That chapter was golden! Thanks for the translation!

 

[kwendy]

Bachiko catching strays in all sense of word.

Just how far ahead in planning is our thief friend if Iruma's assumption is correct?

I think he's also freaking out inside when he saw Iruma pulled out that bow.

This chapter shows a glaring security problem when you have someone who can imitate a 13th Crown. They (the Crowns) have enough power that if you can imitate them (most of them you just need the right body and face) you have basically free reign.

To be fair, the bow creation skill is incredibly rare
Not like the author is working backwards to justify rare, but as in Bachiko famously has had few if any students besides Iruma, and fewer still who passed her training. Then they have to be talented enough to mimic her. The likely only folks in this world who could do what Iruma just did, would have to have been her direct family members.

Besides that, there's a lot of crimes that are easy to pull off, the trick is getting away with it. If you pretend to be a 13 crown, they'll likely go after you to the ends of the earth to make an example of you so no one tries what they did. Iruma is just lucky that 1 - he's the grandson of one of the most powerful devlis in hell and 2 - is imitating one of the 13 crowns who likely wouldn't press charges against him specifically

 

[Knighto]

dammit I missed that it was the thief transforming into Ameri and not Iruma, at least I got it with Bachiko, only Iruma besides their family can make a bow like that.

Non zero chance that Iruma worked for the mob when his parents sold him out

that could have worked for the spin off for sure as another form to start the series.

Considering he almost fell for the room of cursed artifacts, and was surprised in the first place by Iruma, he likely came up with the plan on the fly. 50/50 chance he did this expecting Iruma to flounder under pressure and use the distraction to get to the vault.

He worked for the mob while he still had parents, lol.

Iruma magical power come from his grandfather, one of the 13th Crown himself, so of course he can pose as one.

There are also feel of magical power to compare, no matter how good the disguised, demons with magical average magical power won't be able to imitate it properly.

Not just that but also the ring's magic is of the utmost level.

That’s what I think. Every comment says she’ll kill him but the dude was perfect. He got her and it’s not like he did something embarrassing as her. I think she’d be honored

No that's the spin-off manga, this is the demon school one.

 

[JumboWheat01]

Oh, Iruma... your master will totally see this and you will NEVER hear the end of it.

 

[Graywing]

Damn, Iruma has them acting chops. Thanks for the chapter!!!

 

[Otamega04]

Iruma imitating bachiko looks weirdly good

 

[UncleKaos]

Someone give Iruma a prize for good acting.

 

[Haunted-Flame]

Did someone say "phantom thief"?

Not yet, Joker Persona 5

Jokes aside, what if the female version of Iruma was so realistic because she was his persona all along?
