Chapters[]
Each chapter has two sections, with the first part telling of the invasion of Heaven, and the second being an epilogue which takes place three years later.
Short Story: The Devil Wakes from His Dream[]
Maou dreams of having dinner with everyone, but is awakened by Ashiya.
Prologue: The Devil Heads for Work[]
The Devil’s Castle has arrived at the Red Moon, home of the Demon Realm.
Epilogue: Maou gets up early at his apartment in Villa Rosa Sasazuka and rides his scooter to work.
Chapter 1: The Fallen Angel Claims His Relic[]
On the advice of Copyhara, everyone returns to the underground laboratory at Satan's Ark in the Demon Realm. Activating the equipment this time opens a door to a new area, where they find a large tree stump growing in a giant jar. Lailah and Gabriel recognize it as the Yesod root of The Tree of Life. When Sataniel cut off this root it caused the Yesod to break into fragments.
Epilogue: Maou arrives at “Yesodd’s Family Café”, which he owns. His employee Kaori Shoji (Chiho's old school friend) helps him set up the coffee shop for opening.
Chapter 2: The Devil King’s Army Moves the Moon[]
It turns out that the mechanism which they activated on the Red Moon is causing it to move through space towards the Blue Moon, with an impending collision in a month and a half. Maou realizes that he needs to make amends for some things in his past.
Epilogue: Sariel, one of the regulars at Maou’s café, arrives for breakfast, bringing his daughter Yuzuki. Shortly afterwards, Sariel’s wife Ms. Kisaki turns up as well. She’s still a senior manager at MgRonald. Later, the café’s manager, former MgRonald part-timer Akiko Ohki, comes in to take over from Maou.
Chapter 3: The Devil Addresses Past Sins[]
Maou and co. apologize to Chiho’s parents. Maou goes to Sariel for relationship advice. Maou and Chiho discuss their relationship, but nothing is resolved.
Epilogue: Chiho, currently in her second year of college, returns from her trip to Ente Isla, where she spent the summer working as clerk for Chief Herder Dhin Dhem Wurs.
Chapter 4: The Hero Finds an Answer and Chooses Her Way[]
Discussing his relationship with Chiho has again left Maou weak and nauseous, just like after the time she kissed him at the summit. Emi resuscitates him with an infusion of holy force, triggering a regeneration of his demonic force like what she did when they encountered Farfarello.
Epilogue: Rika drops off Emi and Alas Ramus at the station after they spent the weekend with her. Rika moved back to Kobe and has taken over the family business. Alas Ramus has grown, and is now a middle-schooler.
Chapter 5: The Devil Relies on Others for the Future[]
Maou gives an answer of ‘’no’’ to Suzuno’s love confession.
Epilogue: As Emi and Alas Ramus get off the train in Tokyo, Maou and Chiho are there to meet them. They happen to run into Suzuno who is just returning from a vacation trip on Earth before she heads back to Ente Isla to resume her duties as archbishop. They all go out for dinner, with Nord and Lailah coming along as well. Nord is living with Chiho’s family in Nagano, helping them with a new wheat crop. Lailah works at a hospital in Sasazuka, while still living at Villa Rosa Sasazuka.
Chapter 6: The Devil and the Hero Challenge the God[]
The Red Moon settles into a stable orbit near the Blue Moon. They fly The Devil’s Castle over to Heaven, landing near the Tree of Sephirot. They are attacked by Camael, who is fused with Eleos, an avatar of Malkuth, the yellow node of Sephirah. Eleos was the 'astronaut' that they fought at Heavensky and Satan's Ark. Maou takes on Camael. Alcieth tries to fight Eleos, but is overmatched, and ends up in giggles from being tickled. The others head into the base station. Emi finds Ignora, who is fused with Malkuth’s little sister Nyx. To keep Nyx at bay, Alas Ramus drags her into Emi’s head. Now she has two Sephirah children in there, who do nothing but squabble with each other.
Epilogue: When the group gets back to Sasazuka, they find Urushihara in a restaurant with all of the Sephirot children. He came with them all to Japan for a visit, and they brought their enormous appetites. Back home at Villa Rosa Sasazuka, Gabriel, who lives in the lower apartment, greets them.
Chapter 7: The Devil and the Hero Clobber the God[]
Ignora is triumphant, saying that the Sephirot has chosen the angels as the master race by making the Daath (Copyhara) in the image of an angel. Copyhara disagrees, and takes Emi’s hand, then melds into her head. Now she has three of them in there. Emi manifests The Better Half, now as a purple sword of light, and uses it to dispel Camael’s holy force, like Chiho did to Raguel in the battle at Tokyo Skytree. Eleos and Ignora are shocked, and collapse in surrender.
Epilogue: Emeralda and Albert come to Sasazuka for their vacation, and stop in at the MgRonald. Ms. Iwaki lets them know that she has been promoted and is leaving the MgRonald. Libicocco passed the manager’s training (which Maou failed in Volume 17), and will take over as the new manager.
Chapter 8: The Devil and the Hero Settle Matters[]
Amane announces that she will take responsibility for Ignora, and so Ignora thereafter is kept prisoner in Villa Rosa Sasazuka room 202 (Suzuno’s old apartment).
Suzuno goes to Chiho’s home and tells her the story of the invasion of Heaven. She explains that everything will be resolved once a few loose ends are taken care of. Realizing what Suzuno means, Chiho dashes out through the streets to the MgRonald where Maou is just getting off his shift. She is in time to witness Maou’s fate.
Emi runs Maou through with her sword. He collapses into the street, and a black cloud of demonic force wafts off of his body.
Epilogue: The Devil, Not a Part-Timer[]
Maou is now an ordinary human who will grow old and die like everyone else. He accepts Chiho’s love, and there is talk of a wedding after she graduates from college. Ashiya, now co-ruler of Efzahan along with the Azure Emperor, drops in to berate Maou for his poor financial sense. Emi spent her Hero’s pension to become principal shareholder and not-so-silent partner in his restaurant. They have regular meetings in which they bicker over future plans for the restaurant chain. Chiho helps out part-time as file clerk, and is seen snickering in the corner as they argue.
