Mistress Kanan is Devilishly Easy Episode 3: Kanan's First Date

Kanan's yellow, slit-pupiled eye glares, an immediate signal of trouble as she fixates on Kyogi. Ami, the demon maid, observes with a mischievous grin, knowing what is about to unfold. Kanan, the self-proclaimed 'contracted lover', is filled with possessive rage upon seeing Kyogi sharing a meal with another girl, Nadeko. Her dark aura makes her look truly demonic as she approaches their table. She demands to know the identity of 'this female' with palpable disdain.

Nadeko introduces herself as Kyogi's childhood friend, a revelation that causes Kanan's internal panic to explode. She views Nadeko as a 'treacherous creature', imagining plots to steal Kyogi away. Kanan's jealousy radiates as physical waves of dark energy, causing Nadeko to feel a primal, terrifying fear. Kanan levitates, her power surging, threatening to 'skin Nadeko alive' and feed her to demon-world pigs. Her laughter is high-pitched and unhinged.

Nadeko, facing certain doom, quickly pivots to desperate flattery, calling Kanan and Kyogi the 'best couple ever'. She praises Kanan's beauty and insists she is just a 'lowly neighbor' who cannot compare. In a final, inspired plea, Nadeko screams that Kanan is 'Kyogi's Wife!'. The word acts like a magic spell, neutralizing Kanan's demonic rage instantly, causing her to drop back into her seat, blushing furiously.

Completely placated, Kanan bestows upon Nadeko the title of 'Lowly Organism Nadeko', declaring that she has taken a liking to her 'perceptiveness'. Ami later teases Kanan about her intense jealousy and how easily she was manipulated by flattery, noting Kanan acts more like a girlfriend than a soul-snatcher. Frustrated, Kanan goes outside and pinches a neighborhood boy's cheeks, using him as a stress reliever. This demonstrates her lingering human-like frustrations.

Kanan realizes she has neglected her primary goal of 'eating' Kyogi's soul. Ami suggests that a 'date' is the most effective human method for achieving this. Kanan envisions a boxing match where she 'knocks out' Kyogi, smitten, and he offers his soul voluntarily. Ami explains the steps of a human date, mentioning meeting, eating, and intimacy, which Kanan misinterprets as literally devouring Kyogi. Kanan vows to make this the most spectacular date ever.

Kanan's parents briefly appear, a surprisingly normal contrast to her demonic plotting. The next day, Ami gives Kanan a pep talk before she attempts to invite Kyogi on a date. Kanan, visibly nervous, stutters and accidentally invites Kyogi to a 'Death Match' this weekend. Kyogi, baffled, agrees, thinking it's a new game. Kanan eventually manages to blurt out 'DATE' and warns him not to be late.

Kanan tries to maintain her cool as she walks away from Kyogi, but once out of his sight, she lets out a small, high-pitched squeal. She leans against a wall, face beet-red, overwhelmed by her success in asking him out. She worries if she has been too obvious, if Kyogi suspects her true, soul-snatching intentions. Ami finds her and pats her head, praising her 'bravery', recognizing the magnitude of Kanan's small human victory.

The day of the date arrives, and Kanan and Kyogi meet at the Tokyo Sky Tower, a grand backdrop for their outing. Kanan reveals her plan to use the 'Suspension Bridge Effect' to make Kyogi mistake fear for romantic attraction, securing his soul. Her eyes glow with fierce demonic pride, certain of her success. Kyogi genuinely compliments Kanan's casual outfit, saying she looks 'spectacular', which completely disarms her, replacing her confident facade with a blush.

Kanan attempts to lure Kyogi towards the observation deck's floor-to-ceiling windows, misinterpreting his caution as fear, believing her plan is working. Frustrated by his reluctance, she lunges, grabbing his arm with demonic strength, determined to pull him towards the glass floor. As she moves, she feels an unusual 'freedom' and looks down. Her eyes widen in horror as she realizes she forgot to wear a bra. Kyogi's face turns red, clearly understanding the situation.

Kanan collapses, covering her chest and face in profound shame, experiencing a level of mortification no demon should endure. Kyogi stands awkwardly beside her, unsure how to help. A quick cut shows Ami at home, holding up Kanan's forgotten pink lace bra with a playful, devious smile. This reveals Ami's deliberate choice not to warn Kanan, enjoying the impending chaos. Kanan curses her carelessness, feeling the romantic 'Suspension Bridge Effect' replaced by literal, awkward heart-racing.

After the mortifying incident, Kanan and Kyogi sit at an outdoor table, enveloped in awkward silence. Kyogi attempts to ease the tension by offering Kanan a piece of takoyaki, explaining he heard that 'ahn' (feeding someone) is a common couple activity. Kyogi then confesses that despite the awkwardness, he is genuinely happy to be on this date and loves seeing her smile. This sincere confession strikes Kanan deeper than any demonic attack, making her heart skip for real.

Feeling a surge of genuine affection, Kanan decides to reciprocate, picking up a piece of takoyaki to feed Kyogi. Her own face blushes as she brings the food close to his mouth. Kyogi closes his eyes in anticipation, expecting a sweet, romantic moment. At the very last second, Kanan pulls the takoyaki back and eats it herself, letting out a mischievous laugh. She declares it's too soon for him to get such a reward, breaking the tension entirely as Kyogi laughs too.

The episode concludes with Kanan and Kyogi walking away from the Sky Tower as the sun sets over Tokyo. Kanan internally muses that while she failed to claim his soul today, this 'date' thing might not be so bad after all. They continue to bicker and laugh, their bond visibly strengthened by the chaotic and embarrassing day they shared. They fade into the city's distance as the credits roll.
