But not wanting to steal Rito away from her sister, Momo instead plots to build a harem of girls around Rito, hoping that if Rito marries Lala and becomes the King of Deviluke, he can legally marry every girl who is in love with him, including Momo herself. While Rito remains indecisive between his longtime crush on Haruna and his growing affection for Lala, Momo has also fallen in love with Rito. She and her twin sister, Nana Astar Deviluke, have since come to live with Lala in Rito's house. The story continues in To Love Ru Darkness, which focuses on Lala's little sister, Momo Belia Deviluke.

Lala quickly falls in love with him, and Zastin also approves of their engagement, much to Rito's dismay. But when Rito angrily declares that marriage is only possible with the person you love, the two dull-witted aliens misunderstand him, believing he truly understands Lala's feelings. When Devilukean commander Zastin arrives to bring her home, she swiftly declares she will marry Rito in order to stay on Earth, leading Zastin to attack Rito. Her father wants her to return home to marry one of her marriage candidates. Her name is Lala Satalin Deviluke, the runaway crown princess of the planet Deviluke.
