Force of the Darkness

Force of the Darkness is the thirty-sixth chapter of To LOVE-Ru.

Summary
Haruna is in her house, wondering what Rito is up to, while looking at his present that she found at Saki's in.

Meanwhile, Rito is being chased by Golden Darkness down by the street. The assassin asks Rito why he doesn't counter attack citing that she heard he was not the type to go easy on female opponents; thens she remember how he offered her some taiyaki.

Just then, Lala comes down and hugs Rito, relieved to see he is alright, and explains the situation. Golden Darkness recognizes Lala as the Princess of Deviluke and asks her to steps down, but Lala explain she cannot do because Rito is someone special to her. Zastin comes down trying to strike Golden Darkness with his sword. Naturally having an assassin's instinct, she blocks it.

Zastin challenges her explaining that he is the top swordsman of Deviluke as well as the assistant chief to Rito's dad, Yūki Saibai and Golden Darkness accepts. Zastin and the assasin then engage in an intense battle, with Golden Darkness using her transforming abilities to turn her hair into a bunch of dragon heads. Zastin then compliments her on her fighting abilities, but telling her that he will use his knowledge of Earth to his advantage. Zastin then tries to use a train to his advantage just as Rito did in chapter 3. However, Golden Darkness uses her transforming abilities to grow a pair of wings and flies over the train. Stunned, Zastin doesn't notice the train, despite Lala's warning, and is hit himself ending out of the battle.

Golden Darkness calls Rito's strategy weak and just then Lala challenges Golden Darkness to a fight despite Rito's interjection. Lala then tells Golden Darkness that while she may not look like it, she is quite strong. And the asssassin tells the princess that she is going to get her fingers burned.
