took 3 and a half days to complete this (not the entire day too...) had a reference and did a sketch :)



editted the tones slightly on the comp to show more concrete shadings

The World God Only Knows 3

Keima overhears the conversation in Mio's apartment, where it was disclosed that she was once a rich individual but apparently her father's death took that identity away from her. Mio doesn't seem to have accepted her father's passing too as she'd never opened the cupboard with her father's photo. Her chauffeur, not being able to take her attitude of pretending to be still rich and buying such a large amount of bread, he leaves and drives off. Mio, while trying to stop him, steps out and is shocked to see Keima outside her apartment. Knowing that he had definitely overheard their conversation, Mio flustered and told him to go away before heading back to the apartment. Elsea, having seen Keima being told off again, assumes that it was a bad impression given but Keima says otherwise. With a secret shared now between them, it's bound to work out nicely. The next day, Mio's chauffeur didn't turn up and Keima attempted to take his place instead, offering to be her chauffeur with a bicycle. Mio refuses to get on the old and cheap crap and Elsea changes the bicycle to a carriage. Not being able to walk properly with her high heels, she took Keima's offer to bring her to school. This had to continue for the next few days where Elsea just keeps making the carriage more extravagant, and more heavy in the process. It was until a point where Keima was totally powerless to move the carriage and Mio tried to force him to move, smiling genuinely in the process. She however stops playing with him and leaves after realising something and Keima thought that it was probably something important. Keima then goes to her apartment's letter slot and sees an invitation to a party for the rich, and tells Elsea that he can already see the ending. The next day after school, Keima arrives with another carriage, bringing Mio this time, to the party and even prepared a dress for her. Keima had also got into his own suit and requested Mio to teach him how to dance in the backyard of the party. While the two began to dance, several others from the party spots Mio and started belittling her and pretending to feel sorry for her father's passing. Mio's father had always been caring towards her, supporting her in any ways and then Keima cuts in, telling Mio if that was the world she wanted to return to, or to stay here in this place with him, he also adds on that he wanted to see more of Mio smiling genuinely similarly in the past. Mio flustered and hit Keima on the face, calling him a liar, and that ever since he appeared, the place in her heart where her father was, was getting smaller. Keima advances yet again to ask her to choose between them or him and then initiates a kiss, forcing the escaped spirit out and Elsea had obtained their second runaway spirit. The memories of the capture disappeared again and this time, Mio had acknowledged her father's passing and was now willing to use small change as well.

a 2nd runaway spirit sealed and 2 more to go for the series. the scene where Keima actually described that a secret shared between them would be beneficial was totally random... yet another capture in one single episode. 2 more to go and roughly 9 more episodes (as hinted from the OP), unless the OP changes which is unlikely. Heard somewhere too that the 2nd season for this series has already been green-lit, will reconfirm this info again. the capture this time was sweet too, and with more and more captures, Keima could have his perception changed on 3D girls but most importantly, it was the captured girls who had lost their memories, who had changed for the better
