Prince's Kiss (王子のくちづけ , Ōji no kuchizuke) is chapter 142 of the Beelzebub manga.
Summary
The chapter starts with Tatsumi Oga, Beelzebub IV, Takayuki Furuichi and Yolda watching the disc said to contain the method of returning Hilda's memories. Salamander and several other Pillar members are portrayed in the video, attempting to catch crayfish. Initially, Salamander denies of knowing any way to return her memories but was soon to disclose the information. As said by him, the only way to return Hilda's memories is to get a kiss from her "prince". He assures them that the idea of a princess being brought back by a kiss from her prince is not overrated.
Oga then destroys the computer. He nefariously demands if either Furuichi or Yolda saw or heard anything which frightened Yolda to the point where she denies it. Furuichi explains that Oga is trying his best to pretend it never happened. Takumi Sadohara enters and chases after Oga, demanding why his computer is in ruins. Aoi Kunieda enters afterwards and Yolda provokingly informs her of the technique to return Hilda's memories. Kunieda hyperventilates over the fact that Oga has to kiss Hilda.
Later, Kanzaki, Hanazawa, Himekawa, and Natsume are informed that Oga is to kiss Hilda and rampage to find him, much to Yolda's apparent amusement. Oga hides behind a bush while the others continue their search for him. He vows to punish Furuichi for spilling the secret. Lamia appears beside him and hands over a medicine called "Real Remember", devised by Mr. Forkes. She explains that the medicine is specifically made for Hilda as its purpose is to return her memories.
They set out to find Hilda by utilizing Beel's intuition in which Oga claims is very accurate. They encounter Furuichi, Yolda, and Kunieda along the way and soon discover Hilda near the river. There she is approached by the Pillar leftovers who attempt to attack her, despite being aware about her memory loss. Oga steps in and defeats them. Hilda thanks him and he shows her the medicine to return her memories. She promises to take it, but Beel tosses it in the river, to everyone's surprise. Oga explains that Beel is content with her current state because regardless of her personality, she is still his mother.
Beel kisses Hilda while Oga states that since Hilda is amnesiac, the food she prepares would actually taste delicious. Hilda questions about her food from before and he tells her that it was beyond bad to the point where it tasted like attempted murder. Hilda angrily promises that next time it will not be attempted and Oga is astonished that she has returned to normal. The others are shocked to realize that Hilda's "prince" is actually Beel.
