2. Maybe try acting like bunnies?

Levi: *tilts head curiously* Well, there are theories that rabbits get lonely easily.

Mammon: So we should try to be all needy and attention-seekin’? *shudders, grimacing* ...Gives me chills just thinkin’ about it.

–

Mammon: Buttering people up just ain’t me!

Levi: *shakes head* Yeah, I don’t think I could do it if I tried. *sulks* Besides, nobody wants to see neediness from me.

Mammon: Ah, new customers! Back to work, I guess.

Levi: *shakes head* Never mind the cutesy stuff. We’re probably not cut out for it anyway. *smiles, waves* Later, Chise.

––––––––

Angeluke: There were ears like that?!

––––––––

*whimsical forest town*

Mammon: You said ya had somethin’ for us, Chise?

*hands ‘em over*

Levi: *confused* Bunny ear headbands? *smiles* Wow, so the Patchwork Rabbit made these for us?

Mammon: But we already have bunny ears, don’t we?

These ones are special.

Levi: Hmm… *doubtful* They don’t look much different to me.

–

2. You’ll know when you put them on.

Mammon: *suspicious* Somethin’ ain’t right about this... *shrugs* Well, guess we gotta try ’em to find out.

–

*puts ‘em on*

Mammon: *frowns* …Like this?

Levi: I don’t feel any different... 

Mammon: …

Levi: … 

Mammon: *frustrated growl* Nothin’s happenin’!

Levi: *gasps, betrayed* Don’t tell me you pulled a fast one on us, Chise!

Mammon: ...Hm? *eyes widen* Wait, hold on... Somethin’s kinda...tingly? *covers mouth, self-conscious* It’s almost like...I’m itchin’ to do something?

Levi: Yeah, I feel strange too. Like, I feel so...incredibly...needy?!

––––––––

ButlerBarb: Serving entails hard work.

––––––––

Levi: *horrified* What the heck is this?! What did you do?!

Looks like the magic finally kicked in.

Mammon: So, the ears were magic, huh? *grimaces* So that’s why I’m starvin’ for affection right now...

–

2. Now you should be able to do cute service.

Levi: *frustrated growl, squirmy* Ngnnnh... I can’t fight it!

–

Mammon: Are you seriously telling us to go do that “cute service” thing like this?!

Levi: *shakes head in horror* No way! This is like nightmare level difficulty!

Have fun, you two!

Levi: Ice cold. Lmao.

–

2. Uh oh, looks like we’ve got some regulars coming in.

Mammon: *resigned sigh* ...We’re not gettin’ outta this, are we?

–

Mammon: *growls* Fine. Let’s do this!

Levi: *sulkily hides face under fringe, blushing deeply* Yeah, let’s just get it over with...! 

*fade back to Matter Hatter’s café themed room*

*clatter*

Mammon: *eeps* Whoops, I dropped a spoon...! *squirms shyly* Hey, um, Mr. Customer. Could you pwetty pwease get that for me?

Levi: *gasps, wide-eyed* We got your order wrong? I-I’m so sorry! We’ll get it fixed up right away...! *smiles adorably* ...But, um, that drink is reeeeaally good, so why don’t you give it a try anyways? *squees, happy bouncing* Oh, you like it? It’s so good you don’t even want to change it? Th-Thank you very much!

Mammon: *sulks at the ground, blushing* Damn, these bunny ears have got me acting out of control...! 

Levi: *squirms, hiding blush* Ngh... I can’t control my impulses to act needy!

Mammon: *looks up, demanding, red-faced* Hey, you! Yeah, you! Come pat my head!

Levi: *adorably wide-eyed, blushing* I-It’s not like I’m acting this way because I l-like you or anything...! 

––––––––

Belphie: You still went along with it.

––––––––

Mammon: *glumly* Is it just me, or are we gettin’ better reactions than normal?

Levi: *exhausted* Yeah, it feels like people have been asking for us nonstop.

Mammon, someone’s asking for you!

Mammon: *perks up, grinning* All right, let’s keep the money flowin’, baby!

Mammon: *coyly* Hey there, buddy. Ya wanna try the richest drink in the cellar? It’s top stuff, I guarantee it. How ’bout it? *grins, happy sparkles* Thanks so much for the order, buddy! Say, you’re gonna want a dessert with that too, right?

–

2. Levi, someone’s asking for you!

Levi: ...Huh? *gasps, wide-eyed shock* Wait, is that Ruri-chan merch?! A-Are you a fan of hers, too?! *adorable, beaming smile of excitement* Oh my gosh, so am I! *bounces, happy sparkles, grinning* Let’s say it together! Ruri Hana! Ru-Ru Ruri!

Levi: *gaaaasps, jaw drops* Wait, what’s that? Could it be...the exclusive final prize from the latest Ruri-chan raffle?! *looks aside* Man, I wanted that so badly...! *jumps in shock, wide-eyed* What? You’d really give it to me?! *excited babbling, elated sparkles* Th-Thank you so much!

–

Mammon: *running around* Hold on, we’ll get to all of ya, one at a time!

Levi: *grins, waves* I heard you! I’m coming right over!

*fade to whimsical forest town*

Levi: *huffs* Phew... It’s finally over... 

Mammon: *smiling proudly* Did ya hear? Today’s sales were the best in the café’s history!

You guys did great!

Mammon: *bursts into cheery laughter, grinning wide* Hell yeah we did! We made a killin’ out there!

–

2. The magic really worked!

Levi: *sulky glare* Would it kill you to praise us instead?!

–

Mammon: *hides flirtatious smirk behind fingers* We worked our butts off. Don’t ya think we’ve earned a reward?

Levi: *pouty, pleading* Come on, Chise… 

You can act all needy towards me too.

Levi: *gasps* *laughs happily, grinning* That’s the line I’ve been waiting for!

Mammon: *grins with excitement* Oh yeah! Ya better spoil us rotten!

–

2. Is there something you want?

Mammon: *pouty* It ain’t a “something” we’re talkin’ about here. Think about the situation!

Levi: *pleading* We wanna act needy around you too.

Mammon: *glares, hands on hips, demanding* Yeah! Spoil us!

2. A) I was hoping you’d say that.

Mammon: *drops eye contact, pouty blush* Seriously? You wanted to make us say it?

Levi: *hides face behind hands, squeezing eyes shut, blushing deeply* You just wanted to hear us beg, didn’t you?! That’s so mean! But also pretty cute in its own right!

2. B) Just for today, okay?

Levi: *grins excitedly, bouncing on heels, happy sparkles* Thanks, Chise. 

Mammon: *flirty smirk* Oh, you’re in for it now.

–

Mammon: ...*grows serious, side-eyeing Levi* I contributed the most toward the sales, so I get the most attention, right?

Levi: *smiles threateningly, shaking head* What? No way! That right belongs to me!

Mammon: *scowls darkly* No, me!

Levi: *glares right back* Forget it! The extra attention is all mine!

End.

Levi: 😮‍💨

Levi: The spell from the bunny ears finally wore off.

Mammon: Forget everything you saw yesterday, ya hear?!

But you guys were so cute!

Mammon: 😑

–

2. I took some pictures.

Levi: 😨

Mammon: 🤯

Mammon: Delete them! NOW!

–

Levi: At the very least, you should have put those bunny ears on yourself.

Levi: I'm pretty sure it would have been WAY more effective with your looks and charm...

Levi: 😢

Beel: Chise, I just bought some bunny-shaped madeleines.

Beel: Wanna come eat them with me?

🤤🍽️

Beel: OK! 👍

–

2. Yes!!! 💪

Beel: 🥳🥳

–

Mammon: Beel doesn't even have to wear bunny ears. He gets to act like a kid around Chise as much as he wants.

Levi: It honestly makes me jealous.

Levi: *glares sulkily back* Hey! You poured Mammon a cup! Why not me?! That’s not fair! You’re playing favourites!

Lucifer: I have a rule: I’ll do someone a favour, but only one request is allowed.

Levi: *slumps* Hmph. That’s the first I’ve ever heard of your rule...

––––––––

LordDiavolo: Well, I'm gla...

––––––––

Levi: ...Grrah! *beams happily at the sound of a victory ding* HAH!

Mammon: *glares with a noise of irritation* Ya know Levi, every time you hit a button on that controller of yours, you let out a grunt. Quit it. It’s REALLY annoyin’. I’d just gotten to a really funny part in this manga, and now you’ve gone and ruined the moment.

Levi: *glares darkly from under his fringe* Excuse me?! Why don’t you go read your manga in your OWN room then?

Mammon: *scowls* Don’t wanna. This couch is more comfortable than sittin’ in my room. You should be the one to leave. Go to your room and play games there!

Levi: *scowls right back, tensions escalating* Well I don’t feel like going to my room, either. And my connection speed is better here than in my room.

Lucifer: *sets down coffee with a heavy sigh* Listen, both of you… *crosses arms with a shake of his head, glaring daggers* If you don’t stop this racket, I’m going to cut you both up and fashion your parts into chess pieces for this board here.

Levi: *wide-eyed* Aw…

*time skip*

Lucifer: *expressionlessly sets down mug again, sound of him turning on a burner* …

Mammon: *grinning* I can’t believe he just said that!

Levi: *laughs as victory dinging plays* ...HAH! Boom! Take that!

Lucifer: *sluuuurp* … *sets down mug, begins to pour*

Mammon: *looks over at Lucifer* Lucifer, while you’re at it, pour—

Mammon (to himself): (*stops, wide-eyed* D’ah! The coffee pot...it’s empty!)

Lucifer: *turns to look at Mammon with a noise of inquiry* Did you say something, Mammon?

Mammon: *shakes head quickly* Uh, no. Nothin’…

Levi (to himself): (*sighs* Liar. *sulky frown* He was about to ask Lucifer to pour him another cup of coffee. But he knows Lucifer would say…)

*flashback fade to Lucifer standing creepily against a pure black background*

Lucifer: *arms crossed, smirking smugly* Oh dear, it looks like we’re all OUT of coffee. If you want another cup, you’ll have to go make another pot.

*fade back to present*

Levi (to himself): (*sulky grumbling* So Mammon pretended not to notice the pot was empty!)

Mammon (to himself): (*shakes head in irritation* Tsk! Dammit Lucifer…)

Levi (to himself): (*glaring from the corner of his eye* He filled his cup alllll the way up, until it nearly overflowed...)

Both Mammon and Levi, to themselves: (He totally emptied the pot on purpose!)

Lucifer: *chuckles to himself* *happily sips his coffee*

––––––––

Beelzeburger: Shall I eat...

––––––––

Mammon (to himself): (The next person who wants a cup of coffee is gonna have to go into the kitchen and make a new pot. *scowls* But I’M not budging! I’m staying right here!)

Levi (to himself): (*hiding his pissy expression behind his sleeve, glaring at his brothers* I know Lucifer and Mammon have no intention of making a new pot either, but NO ONE is more serious about it than me! I’m NOT doing it! Because I’M the one who made the LAST pot! 

Levi (still to himself): (*narrows his eyes with a little growl* And those two drank it without even asking if it was okay. So this time it’s their turn to make coffee for me!) 

*time skip*

Levi: *smiling happily* *sip sip sip* …

Mammon (to himself): (*grumpy scowl* Look at Levi over there, nursing his coffee like that... He’s tryin’ to work it so that either Lucifer or I run out first, ain’t he?)

Lucifer: *nods serenely, unreadable* Levi, Mammon, I apologize for snapping at you earlier. Here, let me make it up to you. *smiles sweetly, expression deeply affectionate* I bought these ultra-sweet scones from Madam Scream’s intending to eat them all by myself, but I’d like to share them with you two instead.

*unwrapping of a wrapper*

Mammon & Levi, to themselves: (*glaring dourly* Oh no, I’m not falling for that!)

Mammon (to himself): (If you’re gonna eat something that sweet, ya NEED a cup of coffee to go with it!)

Levi (to himself): (*pouts* And it’ll make your mouth all dry, too.)

Mammon & Levi, to themselves: (No way I’m getting anywhere near that scone...!)

*time skip*

Levi: *slurping determinedly* …

Mammon (to himself): (Grrr...I can’t take this anymore!)

Mammon: *scowls bossily* Hey…Levi! Stop sitting there nursin’ that coffee of yours like it’s the last cup you’ll ever have. Get off your butt and go make a new pot! NOW!

Levi: *jumps in his place, eyes widening in disbelief* EXCUSE ME?! *immediate glowering* Why don’t YOU go do it, Mammon? Your cup has been empty so long that there’s nothing left but a sticky, nasty residue!

Mammon: *snickers behind his hand* Heh heh. Not that I’m braggin’ here, but I’ve never made a pot of coffee myself.

Levi: *shakes head in exasperation* Yeah, that really isn’t something to brag about… *perks up, alert, with a wide grin* It’s easy, I’ll teach you how. First you toss out the used grounds and rinse the coffee maker. Then you add another filter, fresh grounds, and water. Then just hit the switch and it’ll start to drip.

Mammon: *noise of dismissal* Pff! What a hassle. Ya know, come to think of it, Lucifer drank the last of the coffee, didn’t he? So he should be the one to go make a new pot, doncha think?

Levi: *frowns, nodding* Yeah, you're right! He should! *grumbly grumpiness* I mean, that’s how it works with toilet paper, right? Everyone knows that the person who uses the last of it has to add a new roll. It’s common sense.

Lucifer: …

Both Mammon & Levi, shouting together: Don’t fake like you’re asleep!

––––––––

monSOLO: Who will favor be...

––––––––

Lucifer: *grunts in irritation, scowling* Well, you two certainly are being loud. Are you that determined to have me make chess pieces out of you?

Levi: *half-hiding face behind sleeve for bravery* I-I’m not going to let you intimidate me like that anymore! Lucifer, go make another pot of coffee!

Lucifer: *expression softens, smiles sweetly with a chuckle* Sure. I wouldn’t mind doing that. But I seem to recall that a certain two demons once made a huge fuss about how the coffee I made was so strong that it wasn’t fit to drink. Now who were they again?

Levi (to himself): (*eyes widen* Ooh…)

Mammon (to himself): (*looks aside with a wince* I do sorta remember something like that...)

Levi: *hides face behind sleeve AND fringe* But, if you realize that your coffee was too strong, you should make it weaker this time, shouldn’t you? Since that’s what everyone wants. You didn’t have any problem with the coffee I made, and it wasn’t that strong.

Lucifer: *nods affably, smiling so kindly in understanding* Well, I admit that there is some logic to that. In that case, let’s make this fair. We’ll flip a coin. 

Mammon: *nods seriously* You’re on.

Levi: *nods with a grimace* Okay, let’s do it.

Mammon (to himself): (*smirks* Now that I think about it, this is my chance to finally make Lucifer have to serve ME. Whatever side of the coin he chooses, I’m going with the flip side!)

Levi (to himself): (*smiles cheerfully* This has to be some kind of trick... Lucifer’s going to do something to make sure he wins, so I’d better choose whatever side of the coin he does!)

Mammon & Levi, together: So Lucifer, heads or tails?

Lucifer: *relaxed smile* Good question. I think I’ll go with heads.

Mammon: *nods* Then I’m tails.

Levi: *nods* I’m heads!

Lucifer: *chuckles low with a confident smirk* Okay then, time to flip.

Levi: *snickers happily, beaming* Heads! All right! See you later, Mammon. Don’t forget to take the pot with you!

Mammon: *scowls darkly* Gr...! You cheated, Lucifer! I just know it!

Lucifer: *envelopes himself in a dark, miasmic aura* *chuckles sweetly, eyes crinkling* Whoa, Mammon… Are you really accusing me of cheating? Without any proof?

Mammon: *shakes head quickly* Yikes...! 

Mammon: *smiles nervously* Well, guess I don’t have a choice. Seein’ as I lost...

Levi (to himself): (*snickers, beaming* Heh. Look at how Lucifer scared him…)

Lucifer: *nods, smiling sweetly* Ah, I almost forgot. While you’re at it, bring us some milk as well.

Mammon: *glum pout* Ugh, fine…

Lucifer: *hums in relaxed, cheerful thought* Also, as long as you’re doing that, bring us some fruit, too. Let’s say, four or five varieties. You’ll find them in the refrigerator. Make sure to peel them and cut them up so they’re bite-sized, and arrange them neatly on a plate for us.

Mammon: *wide-eyed exclamation* WHAT?!?! ...*INDIGNANT YELLING* HEY! DON’T GO GETTIN’ CARRIED AWAY! Only one extra request allowed! That’s the rule!

Text chat: The Advent of Adolescence? 1 (from The Demon Brothers(6))

––––––––

Mammon: Lucifer, I need your help with something.

Lucifer: What is it now?

Lucifer: You speaking so proper is, for lack of a better word, creeping me out.

Beel: Did you eat something that left a bad taste in your mouth?

Satan: I wouldn’t put it past Mammon...

Asmo: …Being the Avatar of Greed and all.

Mammon: Hey!

Mammon: Why do I gotta suffer all this hate just for asking “Lucifer, I need your help with something”?

Mammon: I’m being serious!

Mammon sent an attachment:

(Image description: Levi, outdoors in the city, standing beside a female demon who appears to be engaging him in conversation)

Mammon: Take a look at this!

Mammon: Our little Levi is…

Mammon: …finally becoming a man!

Satan: You’re right…

Asmo: You go, Levi!

Asmo: Not that she holds a candle to my impeccable figure ❤️

Lucifer: Shall we have a cake made to honour the occasion?

Beel: Chocolate cake with chocolate mousse icing and melt-in-your-mouth filling…!

Levi: What’s with the constant notifications? They’re getting on my nerves…

Levi: Wait…when did you take that picture?!

Mammon: Well, look who it is! The man of the hour!

Lucifer: 🥳

Asmo: 🥰

Satan: 😄🎉

Levi: I don’t know what you guys think we’re doing, but I guarantee you it’s nothing like that.

Mammon: So, what you’re sayin’ is you’ll work up to the dirty stuff, eventually?

Levi: I was inducted into some cult recently. No idea what it’s about.

Satan: Oh…I see.

Asmo: Oh dear…

Levi: I’ve known for a while now…

Levi: …that I’d never be able to live happily with the norms.

Lucifer: …Don’t cry, Levi.

Lucifer: Every one of us knows that you’re a good person.

Levi: I’m not crying!

Mammon: Which means…?

Levi: You’re mine, Mammon!

Lucifer: Shall we lend you a hand, Levi?

Mammon: 😨

Beel: Well then, let’s have a party to help Levi take him mind off of all this.

Beel: Mammon, go down to Madam Scream’s and order us a chocolate cake, cheesecake, and strawberry tarts.

Mammon: Why do I gotta do it? You’re the one who wants to eat it!

Text chat: The Advent of Adolescence? 2 (from The Demon Brothers(6))

––––––––

Asmo: Lucifer, I need your help with something.

Mammon: Hey, Asmo!

Mammon: Don’t go stealin’ my line! It’s a Mammon original!™

Satan: A Mammon Original™? You don’t say…

Lucifer: What is it this time, Asmo?

Asmo: Take a look at this!

Asmo sent an attachment:

(Image description: This time it’s Beel who has been photographed outdoors in the city, standing beside a female demon who appears to be engaging him in conversation)

Levi: Beel was probably just tricked into joining a cult like I was…

Mammon: Oooh, looks like someone’s still a little butthurt about that, eh li’l Levi?

Levi: Don’t test me. I’ll leave you bankrupt and panhandling under a bridge.

Lucifer: Shall I lend a hand, Levi?

Mammon: Lighten up, it was just a joke!

Asmo: There is still a chance of that. The girl does have a certain aura about her.

Asmo: That is merely a guess on my part, though ❤️❤️❤️

Satan: Yes, he may be drinking the Kool-Aid as we speak.

Satan: He’s certainly open-minded enough, and he’s in peak physical condition.

Beel: Is this my picture?

Levi: Speak o’ the devil! It’s Beel!

Asmo: Hey Beel!

Asmo: What were you talking to the girl in the picture about?

Beel: ???

Beel: I have no idea why you’re so concerned, but…

Beel: She asked me if I wanted to go see a movie with her sometime.

Mammon: 🤯

Lucifer: There can be no doubt. He has the ticket to prove it.

Beel: But I refused.

Asmo: You what?!

Beel: She wanted to take me to a theatre with only a handful of different kinds of popcorn.

Asmo: You can’t be serious, Beel…

Levi: That sounds like our Beel all right!

Satan: We should expect no less of a man who thinks with his stomach rather than his brain.

Beel: ???

Beel: I don’t get it. Did I make a mistake somewhere…?

Asmo: One that could have changed your life, my gluttonous brother.

2. Agreed. Hot sauce is delicious.

Satan: *smug smile* At least someone has some sense.

–

Levi: Ketchup is WAY better!

Satan: *scowls again* No, hot sauce is!

Levi: *raises voice* Ketchup!

Satan: Hot sauce!

Levi: KETCHUP!!

SATAN: HOT SAUCE!

Both of you, STAY!

*flash of white, camera shake*

Levi: *eyes wide, squeaky* Eep!

Satan: *wide-eyed yelp*

--------

L3V1: Now we’re talking!

--------

*RAD student council room*

Diavolo: *smiling, good-natured* With that, I hereby conclude this council meeting. Dismissed.

Satan: *irritable scowl* Wait! We’re not done yet!

Barbatos: *tilts head* Is something amiss?

Satan: *tersely* There is something I would like to discuss today.

Like what?

Satan: *angrily* You know what! You were there!

–

2. Can’t it wait until the next meeting?

Satan: *glares* I’m afraid not. This is something that concerns you directly.

–

Solomon: *wary, defensive of apprentice* You have the floor. What is this ‘incident’ you’re referring to?

Satan: *peeved* It has to do with the ’stay’ command. I was left with considerable injured when Chise used it this morning. I believe we ought to ban its usage, as it’s far too powerful a command.

Mammon: *eager grin* Hear, hear! Totally and utterly seconded!

Belphie: *baleful* I disagree. It’s pretty helpful in preventing Mammon’s escapes or halting Satan’s rampages.

Asmo: *nods, worried* Totally. Besides, Chise isn’t the type to abuse their power or pick on others on purpose.

Beel: *serious nod* True. The fight from this morning would’ve escalated if it hadn’t been for Chise.

Levi: I’m of the same opinion. Chise should be able to use the command freely in case someone loses control.

Please let me keep using it.

Levi: *reassuring smile* Don’t worry. They’re not going to get their way.

–

2. Maybe it’s better if I don’t use it.

Satan: *snaps angrily* No need to state the obvious! Like I said, we must ban it!

–

Simeon: *worried* Hmm… It seems like the brothers’ opinions are split on this issue.

Luke: *unsure* The command doesn’t affect us angels, so I can’t really argue one way or the other…

Solomon: We’ll just have to discuss the matter until we reach a single conclusion.

Satan: What is there to discuss?! I refuse to accept anything less than a full ban!

Mammon: Yeah, ya heard him!

Levi: Hold it! You can’t overrule the rules!

Asmo: *frown* Levi’s right. We can’t just ban something based on a few demons’ opinions.

Barbatos: *soft chuckle of amusement* May I suggest that a third party maintain impartiality in these talks to ensure a fair judgment may be passed?

Satan: And how is that going to work?

Barbatos: By holding a trial, of course.

Really…? What a chore.

Diavolo: *grimace, regretful head shake* Perhaps, but it is certainly better than going around in circles as we currently are.

–

2. Great idea!

Belphie: *smile, nod* Well, I guess that’s kind of fair.

Beel: *nod* That’s fine by me too.

–

Beel: *smiles* Okay, it’s decided then.

Diavolo: *genial nod* We shall hold a trial regarding the necessity of the stay command. Chise, you are to find yourself an attorney.

Levi: *gets closer* Psst… Chise. Let me be your lawyer! There’s an anime I’m into right now that’s all about this legal stuff! *grin, excited bounce, happy sparkle* I’ll make sure you win this trial no matter what!

--------

Stn: I can’t afford to lose!

--------

Diavolo: *arms crossed, serious expression* We will now begin our trial on the necessity of the stay command. Levi will be acting as counsel for Chise, the defendant. Satan shall act as prosecutor, as I will preside over as judge. *nod* You may now enter the courtroom.

Isn’t this a bit much?

Satan: *scowl* Absolutely not. Now, hurry up so we can get started.

–

2. This is going to be fun!

Levi: *excited bouncing, grinning* I’m getting fired up too!

–

Diavolo: Let the prosecution’s witness come forth. Please take the stand, Mammon.

Satan: *determined* Mammon, could you recount what happened to you last week?

Mammon: *nod* With pleasure! I, too, was the victim of Chise’s stay command. The force threw me to the floor so hard I thought my face was gonna get banged up! You wouldn’t know unless ya actually experience it yourself, but that thing’s hella powerful. *raises voice* And that’s why it’s gotta be banned!

But that’s only because...

Diavolo: *head shake* Hush! The defendant is to remain silent.

Levi: *exasperated* Really, Chise, have you never watched a legal thrilled before? I go this, okay?

–

2. Let’s see where this goes.

Levi: *nod* Agreed. This is where the real action begins.

–

Diavolo: Let us move on to the cross-examination. Leviathan, you may begin.

Levi: *solemn* Thank you, Your Honour. Now then… Mr. Mammon, could you give us some context as to why the stay command was used on you?

Mammon: *avoids eye contact* Oh, uh… I don’t remember much!

Levi: You don’t recall, you say? Well, I do. I’ll tell you exactly what you did. *exasperated sigh* That day, you lost a bet, which led you to try to pawn your brothers’ belongings to pay off the debt you amassed.  That itself is a punishable offence, but to make matters worse, you had set the curtains on fire in the process. The House of Lamentation was very nearly razed to the ground.

Levi: *dramatically raises voice* That was when Chise discovered you trying to flee the crime scene and stopped you by using the stay command!

Attaboy, Levi!

Levi: *appreciative smile* Thanks!

–

2. That’s exactly what happened!

Diavolo: *head shake* Hush! The defendant is to remain silent.

–

Diavolo: Next, let us hear the defence’s witness testify. Please come forward, Asmodeus.

Asmo: *happy sparkle effect, flirty grin* Of course, Your Honour! Would you like me to do a little dance!

Diavolo: *sigh* …Witnesses shall refrain from dancing on the stand.

Asmo: *pouts* Aww… 

Levi: Mr. Asmodeus, is it true that the defendant’s stay command has once saved your life?

Asmo: That’s right! You see… One time, Beel lost control and came after me because he was famished. Thankfully, he was commanded to stay before he could do any serious damage. *giggle* This is why the command is absolutely necessary for our protection!

Satan: *scowl* If I may, I would like to cross-examine the witness! Now, do you remember why Beel targeted you in the first place? It’s because you were holding his pudding. Surely, there would have been no conflict—and consequently, no need for the command—had you simply let go of the pudding.

Levi: OBJECTION! *grins, happy sparkle* Aaaah…! I’ve always wanted to say that phrase!

I want to say it too!

Levi: *smiles* But you’re the client here! Only attorneys can use that line.

Diavolo: *getting exasperated* Ahem! Proceed, counsel.

Levi: *jumps to attention* Yes, Your Honour!

2. Hurry up and state your objection!

Levi: I know, I know…

–

Levi: The prosecution claims that the conflict could’ve been avoided has Mr. Asmodeus simply let go of the pudding. However, this is mere speculation. As a matter of fact, even if Asmo had let go of the pudding, I hardly think Beel would’ve noticed in his frenzied state.

Satan: *looks aside* Grr… 

Diavolo: Objection sustained.

Levi: *smiles* All right! So far, so good!

At this rate, we might actually win!

Levi: *grin, nerdy laugh* I think so too!

–

2. I’m nervous about how things will go...

Levi: *wide-eyed protest* Easy there! You have nothing to worry about with ME as your defence attorney!

–

Diavolo: Very well… *serious expression* I shall now announce the verdict of the trial.

--------

LordDiavolo: What a fun trial.

--------

Diavolo: My verdict is… … … 

Hurry up!

Diavolo: *chuckles* Now, now, no need to rush. This is the moment of truth.

–

2. This is the big moment!

Diavolo: *grin, cheerful chuckle* You certain seem to be enjoying yourself, Chise.

–

Diavolo: I declare the defendant, Chise… *grins* …not guilty!

Levi: *whooping, shouting, happy sparkle* HUZZAH! We WON!

Justice always prevails!

Belphie: *soft smile* To be fair, there was no way you were going to lose.

Beel: *happy nod* I’m glad you won.

–

2. It’s all thanks to Levi.

Levi: *happy happy sparkle, grinning* Huh…? M-Me?! You really think so? I mean, I was your attorney, so…yeah, it IS totally thanks to me!

Asmo: *sigh* Someone’s getting cocky.

Levi: *glares* Oh, come on! Let me have my moment!

–

Satan: *growls, scowling* Impossible… How could I have lost?!

Mammon: Ya shoulda been more aggressive, if ya ask me.

Satan: *shouting* Don’t you blame ME! To begin with, your testimony was absolutely horrendous!

Mammon: *glares* Hey! Watch who you’re pointin’ fingers at!

Satan: *shouting louder* This is unacceptable! I demand a retrial!

Diavolo: *head shake* Unfortunately, my verdict is final. *amused chuckle, eyes gleam* Besides…I have a feeling you’ll change your mind about it very soon.

Satan: *blinks, confused* What do you…?

Simeon: Hm…? *eyes widen* Do you guys feel that?

Luke: Yeah, I do! What’s going on…?!

Belphie: Come to think of it, I haven’t seen Lucifer all day. Where is he?

Barbatos: *smirks, chuckling in amusement* You shall find out very soon.

*Lucifer appears, full demon form, dark miasmic aura*

Lucifer: *scowling frown, arms crossed* You insufferable… abominable… traitorous…

Mammon: *wide-eyed panic* Eeeeeek…!

Levi: Y-Y-Yikes…! He’s SUUUUUPER pissed off!

What’s wrong?!

Lucifer: You’re asking me… what’s wrong…?

–

2. He’s so scary...

Belphie: *sighs* I haven’t seen him this angry in a while…

–

Lucifer: You all said… that Solomon had ‘urgent business’ with me.

Mammon: *sweet, innocent smile, nervous laughter* O-Oh… So that’s what this is about! Uh, A-Asmo, you explain!

Asmo: *eyes widen* What?! M-Me?! Umm, well… Help me, Belphie!

Belphie: Hey, why me?! You go, Beel!

Beel: Satan?

Satan: Guh… Levi! Tell him!

Levi: *hides face* EXCUSE ME?! M-M-M-Mammon!

Mammon: Yo, why’d y’all come back to ME?!

Lucifer: *growls* I went to Cocytus Hall, only to discover that his ‘urgent business’ was an invitation to lunch with him… Do you realize I barely escaped with my life?

I’m so glad you did, though!

Lucifer: *snaps, yelling* Don’t you give me that! I won’t hear it!

–

2. H-How terrifying...

Simeon: *head shake, grimacing* I got goosebumps just from hearing that…

–

Lucifer: *pissed-off glare, raises voice* You ALL knew that Solomon wanted to serve me lunch!

Mammon: *wince* W-Well, someone had to accept his invitation, y’know…?

Levi: Shhh! Mammon, not another word!

Belphie: *nervous smile* I-I know! Let’s have a trial!

Asmo: *perks up* Good idea! That way, we can settle things fair and—

Lucifer: A trial, you say? Very well. I shall be the judge.

Asmo: *groans* No way! How could we possibly hope for a fair verdict in that case…?!

Beel: *grimace* This is bad… 

Satan: *scowls, raises voice* Idiots! Stop provoking him even further!

Mammon: *yells back* Then why doncha try to stop him, huh?!

Asmo: DO something, Chise!

Lucifer: *narrows eyes* Chise… Did you know about this as well?

Of course not!

Lucifer: Then you needn’t get involved. If you don’t want to end up in pieces like the rest of them, move aside.

Levi: P-PIECES?! Eeeek!

–

2. Hmm, I’m a little fuzzy on the details...

Lucifer: *glares* Is that so? Are you feigning ignorance, or do you genuinely not recall?

–

Lucifer: No matter. I’ll merely smite you along with the others.

Diavolo: *cheerful laughter* See? I told you, you would find out soon enough.

Mammon: How can ya be so chill?! Ya gotta stop him, Lord Diavolo!

Diavolo: *smiles* Now then, let me ask the two of you who acted as prosecutor and witness. I believe there is only one way you can solve this predicament. *amused chuckle* Knowing that, would you still like to proceed with a retrial?

Satan: Grr…! So THIS was what you were referring to!

Mammon: To hell with the retrial! Chise can keep the damn command!

Diavolo: *smirks* Did you hear that, Chise?

I can’t hear you!

Mammon: I said I’m sorry, okay?! Just help us, please!

Satan: Dammit… *expression falls, regretful* …I-I was in the wrong. We are at your mercy.

–

2. Loud and clear!

Mammon: *grins, happy sparkle* You’re the BEST, Chise!

–

Lucifer! STAY!

*flash of white, camera shake*

Lucifer: Argh!

*Lucifer transforms out of demon form*

Lucifer: *grouchy glaring from the floor* … 

Asmo: *nervous* Has he… calmed down?

Levi: *grins in relief, happy sparkle* Phew… I thought we were dead!

Mammon: *grinning* Whoa… This is the true power of the stay command!

Satan: *relived* Indeed. That demonstration made it all the more obvious.

Belphie: *soft chuckle* I’m glad, though. At least that settles things.

Beel: *smiles* Long live the stay command.

Lucifer: *glaring, raises voice* Where do you think you’re going?! This isn’t over yet! *shouting* You’re ALL in for a dressing-down!

Mammon: *grimace* Better than gettin’ beaten to a pulp…

Levi: *fearful sob* Didn’t you hear him?! We’re still getting chewed out!

Text chat: Fab Snap 3 (from House of Lamentation (New)(8))

--------

Beel: I’ve decided to post a mukbang-style video on Fab Snap. Who wants to be in charge of editing and uploading?

Levi: You could just film it yourself.

Beel: I can’t. I want to film myself eating from different angles, so I’ll need someone to help me.

I’ll help.

Let me handle that.

Mammon: Sniff sniff, I smell an opportunity for money. 🤑💰

Mammon: Ayo, Beel! I’ll help ya!

Beel: Great. Let’s start by filling our stomachs before filming.

--------

monSOLO: Everyone has their tastes.

--------

Levi: *cheerfully* The first choice will be during your first date! So, you meet up and your date asks how their clothes look. Chise, what do you say?

They look great.

Levi: *chuckles happily* That’s what I chose to say too! That’s the best one.

Beel: I chose “This would have been cuter.”

Levi: *side-eyes Beel, expression flat* Uhhhh, you really don’t get it, do you?

–

2. This would have been cuter.

Levi: *shakes head in scornful disbelief* You don’t get it, do you? 

Beel: *smiles sweetly* I chose that answer too.

Levi: *sighs flatly* Noobs...

–

Beel: *smiles, cheerful* Hm? They look happy. They said “I’m happy you were honest.”

Levi: *wide-eyed stare of disbelief* What? How could that be? I got a negative reaction with my response… *perplexed disappointment* Apparently, they didn’t like it either. They should’ve just worn what they like in the first place... *nervous smile* W-Well, even pros like myself mess up sometimes!

Levi: Anyway! Let’s move on! Um... So after watching a horror movie, what do we say? 

Don’t worry, I’m right here.

Levi: *laughs nerdily, happy sparkles* That was my answer too! That’s the best thing to say, right? We’re so alike! *laughing cheerfully under breath, fawning* You really understand romance, don’t you?

–

2. That was a good movie.

Beel: *happy sparkles* *warm, wide smile, soft chuckle* Same as me. This is the best one. We’re a good match, Chise.

Levi: *sighs, weirded-out* You two have a lot to learn...

–

Beel: *smiles sweetly, nodding* I got another positive reaction. They said they love horror movies.

Levi: *wide-eyed shock* Huh? I was just told that I’m too overbearing... *groans under breath, brows knotted in disappointed frustration* Is this a case where trying to be cool will leave a bad impression...? *grimaces* Now I get it! Time for my comeback!

--------

Mammoney: What a gloomy personality.

--------

Levi: *glares at the screen, mouth pressed flat with a shake of his head* Grr... Why is this...so difficult...? Next! What will you say after your first fight...? 

I’m sorry.

Levi: *smiles warmly, sound of approval* Everyone knows the first step to making up after a fight is to apologize. *fond eye contact* Chise, you think the same, don’t you? I knew you would!

–

2. I refuse to apologize!

Beel: *smiles, nods* You picked this too, Chise? When I’m at fault, I apologize. But it was totally the main character’s fault, right?

Levi: *shakes head in disdain* When will you two learn? You always apologize, no matter if you’re wrong or right.

–

Levi: *grins, laughing cheerfully* Hehe! See? I was right! It’s important to apologize first and then see how things play out.

*time skip*

Levi: *pant*...*pant* *shoulders slump* ...I’m exhausted. This game is way more difficult than normal dating games. We’re finally about to propose... But, our parameters are all different... The main character is having a hard time choosing... 

I’ll win.

Levi: *smiles, chuckling* Confident, huh? Sorry, but it’s me who’s going to win!

–

2. I don’t think I’ll win...

Beel: *nods* That’s okay. I don’t think I’ll win either. *smiles encouragingly, sweet* But, let’s see if we can make it to the end. Without cheating of course.

--------

Lucifer: In reality, there's no right way.

--------

Levi: *dead serious, focused in* We’ve made it to the final scene. Whoever manages the best proposal wins! The end is a bit different. We can’t choose the same answers anymore. Which means...there’s only one correct option!

Levi: We’ll go in order of points, so you start Chise. Think carefully.

Wanna...get married?

Levi: *jaw drops* S-Seriously?! That’s what you choose?! *grins enthusiastically* ...Okay! Then I’ll go with “I’ll make you happy forever!"

Beel: *nods* That means my only option is “Let’s find happiness together."

–

2. I’ll make you happy forever.

Levi: *groans* Argh! That one was mine... Then I’ll take “Let’s find happiness together.” 

Beel: *nods* I guess I have to pick “Wanna...get married?” then...

–

3. Let’s find happiness together.

Beel: *smiles* Okay, then I’ll take “I’ll make you happy forever.”

Levi: Whaaat?! *groans in dismay* So I’m stuck with the least romantic one?! This sucks... There’s no way that’s the correct answer!

–––––– Route 1

If MC chooses “Wanna...get married?”:

Levi: The winner is... 

*tadaaaa!*

Levi: *wide-eyed gawking* Whaaat?! They chose Chise?! How could that be?! It was the worst option!

Beel: *grimaces* The main character gets to marry Chise...

Levi: *scowls* GAAAAAAGH! I’ve had enough!

Beel: *raises brows* Oh...he turned it off.

Levi: *pissy glowering* It’s finished! Whatever! This game sucks! I’m gonna give it a one-star review!

Beel: *winces nervously* Don’t be a sore loser, Levi.

Levi: *flattens mouth petulantly, glaring* I’m not... I don’t want Chise to marry anyone else, in a game or otherwise, that’s all!

Beel: …*nods* That’s true. I can agree with that.

Levi: *narrows eyes* I’ll never...

Beel: *glares* ...let anyone else have Chise.

End.

–––––– Route 2

If MC chooses options 2 or 3:

Levi: And the winner is... *jumps in surprise, wide-eyed*  H-Huh?! What? No one?!

Beel: *frowns, confused* What? Is it a glitch or something?

Levi: *shakes head, perplexed* No... Apparently no one got it right. *sighs, slumping* Are we really...just that...unpopular?

Beel: *pouts, brows furrowed sadly* ...Don’t say that, that’s sad.

End.

Text chat: The One Best Suited for Love (from Brothers Under a Pact(4))

--------

Levi: The game we played the other day was fun, wasn't it?

Beel: Yeah, it was pretty good.

Beel: Even though a certain someone wouldn't stop complaining.

Levi: I told you, it's one of those games where the more you play it, the more you start to enjoy it!

Mammon: What game are you all talkin' about?

It's our secret.

Mammon: Why ya gotta keep secrets from me?!

Beel: It's nothing to be secretive about. It was a dating game.

–

2. A dating game.

Mammon: Huh, a dating game?

–

Mammon: I wanna try it, too!

Levi: Hmmm... I don't think you'd be very good at it.

Mammon: Why not?!

Levi: It's a difficult one. Even I had a tough time.

Levi: How should I put this... You can't play it if you're not suited for love!

Mammon: HUUUUH?! I think you're confusin' me for yourself!

Mammon: You're worse when it comes to love in real life than I am!

Levi: Did you just bring up the r-word in front of me?! You know that's off-limits!

Mammon: I'm only speakin' the truth! You just live in your games!

Levi: That's funny coming from someone who can't find love in real life nor in games!

Mammon: Say that again!

*door unlatches*

*fade to Demon Lord’s Castle guest room*

Diavolo: *grins, arms spread in welcome* Ah, Chise, Leviathan! *chuckles cheerfully* I’ve been waiting for you. Please, take a seat. I’m sorry to have called you here at such short notice.

Levi: *eyes widen, nervous* Huh...? What’s with the friendly atmosphere? Is he lulling us into a false sense of security before he drops the axe?

Diavolo: *raises brows in confusion* Hm? Is something the matter, Leviathan? *smiles warmly( Actually, I have a favour to ask the two of you.

A favour?

Diavolo: *nods excitedly* Yes. I’d like to broaden my knowledge of the human world. So, I was hoping you two could explain a few things.

–

2. This is awfully suspicious...

Diavolo: *laughs heartily* Haha, it’s hardly something worth getting suspicious over. You see, I’d like to broaden my knowledge of the human world, so I was hoping you two could explain a few things.

–

Levi: *tilts head, perplexed* What…?

--------

Belphie: Even Lord Diavolo can’t… 

--------

Diavolo: *excited smile* Chise, a human, and Leviathan, an expert on human culture. I’d like to pick your brains a little. Would you be willing to explain some of the intricacies of human culture?

Levi: So that’s it... *sighs, shaking head** What was I getting all nervous for?

You can start, Levi.

Levi: *little jump of surprise* Huh? Me? *serious* To an otaku like me, the human world is a treasure trove, so I could talk about it all day...

–

2. What to talk about...?

Levi: Okay, I’ll start then.

–

*3…2…1… silly music plays, Levi goes OFF*

Levi: *grinning from ear-to-ear throughout the whole incoming spiel, energetic and incredibly excited* First and foremost, you should know about my favorite character, Ruri-chan! *nerdy laugh, heart sparkles* She’s the protagonist of the anime The Magical Ruri Hana: Demon Girl. Ah, but it’s difficult to convey the awesomeness of that anime with words alone. If you’ll allow me to dash back to my room, I could fetch some figures and DVDs to ex—

Levi, calm down.

Levi: *jumps in surprise at being interrupted* Huh...? Oh, whoops.

–

2. That’s probably not what Lord Diavolo had in mind.

Levi: *gasps, a bit horrified* Oh, sorry... It just kind of slipped out.

–

Diavolo: *shakes head, smiling warmly* Oh no, it sounds quite fascinating. It’s also important to learn about the human world’s otaku culture, after all!

Levi: *gasps, wide-eyed* Huh, seriously?

Diavolo: *nods enthusiastically* Yes. Chise, are you also familiar with this Ruri-chan character?

Of course.

Diavolo: *ooh's* I see. Then it must be a rather famous work.

–

2. Not really.

Diavolo: I see. Then you’ll have to tell me about one of your favourites later.

–

Diavolo: Leviathan. It’s unfortunate that you don’t have your DVDs on hand, but please, tell me more.

Levi: *loud, dramatic squee* *wide-eyed and red-faced* Then, take a look at my D.D.D.’s background! *beaming smile* This is my favourite character, Ruri-chan! This character hugging her is her partner, Azuki-tan. And this… 

--------

Mammoney: Human world casinos!

--------

Levi: *exhausted* *cough* *cough* Phew... Sorry, I got a bit carried away.

Diavolo: *wide-eyed shock, concerned* Why don’t you slow down and take a sip of water? 

Levi: *nods* Thanks... *gulp* 

Diavolo: *chuckles, smiling* There, you seemed to have calmed down a little. Your ability to speak at such length on a single topic is definitely one of your talents, Leviathan.

Levi: *little jump of surprise, wide-eyed* Huh?! T-Talents...?! Not at all! I am merely a humble otaku!

Diavolo: *laughs heartily* Haha. You’re quite amusing too!

Diavolo: *turns attention to Chise, friendly smile* Why don’t you tell us something next, Chise? What form of human culture can you recommend?

I’m not as clued up as Levi.

Diavolo: *shakes head reassuringly* The extent of your knowledge is unimportant. Just learning about your hometown would be enough.

–

2. I can’t really think of anything.

Diavolo: I see. Then, let me ask you a question.

–

Diavolo: I’ve heard that there are far more forms of entertainment in the human world than in the Devildom. Could you tell me something about that? *winces* Although, I suppose that’s a rather vague question... 

Is there a specific genre you’re interested in?

Diavolo: *taken aback* Me? Well…

 –

2. Could you give me an example?

–

Diavolo: *smiles eagerly* For example, I’m interested in the arts. I also like cute things.

Levi: *perplexed* What, cute things? You…like cute things?!

--------

L3V1: Talking with Lord Diavolo?!

--------

Diavolo: *chuckles happily* Flowers and small animals are quite comforting, aren’t they? And the fine arts sooth the soul. I once read a book about a legendary museum from long ago. It was quite fascinating. Do you often visit museums, Chise?

Yes.

Diavolo: *pleased, beaming smile* That’s wonderful to hear!

–

2. Occasionally.

Diavolo: *smiling* I see. I’m green with envy!

–

Diavolo: I wish I could see some famous works up close.

Levi: *grins* I’d also love to see some of the personal exhibitions by famous mangaka in the human world.

Diavolo: *gasps in excitement* Personal exhibitions? Why, that sounds absolutely thrilling! If only artistic culture was more developed in the Devildom, then perhaps we would be able to see more works of art. Have you ever considered trying your hand at the arts, Leviathan?

Levi: *wide-eyed, horrified* Me?! N-No way! An ordinary demon like me has no hope of comparing... 

Diavolo: *raises brows in surprise, perplexed* Ordinary? *smiles, nods in dubious understanding* Oh, in the sense that you’re not a professional? *chuckles* Still, you’re so passionate that I’m sure you have the potential. Chise, are you interested in art?

A little.

Diavolo: *beaming smile* Then, why don’t we start something together? There’s no substitute for experiencing things first hand, after all.

–

2. I’d love to be an artist!

Diavolo: *beaming smile* I see! Me too. Why don’t we take the first step together?

–

Diavolo: We could start with some painting! Leviathan, you can be our teacher!

Levi: *more wide-eyed horror* What?! Wh-Wh-Why?!

Diavolo: You’re always looking at wonderful art, aren’t you? We should make use of those discerning eyes of yours and—

Levi: *grimaces, shaking head vigorously* The art I look at is a little different! Satan’s probably the demon you want for this!

Diavolo: *gasps, nods* I see. Then perhaps I’ll ask Satan later. *chuckles* That’s another thing to look forward to. 

Diavolo: Chise, can you can show me around some museums in the human world someday? If the three worlds could coexist in harmony, then I’m sure we’d be able to visit more frequently. *grins cheerfully, chuckling in excitement* I look forward to that day.

Me too!

Diavolo: *nods, pleased, eyes crinkling* I’m glad you feel the same way.

–

2. But when will that be?

Diavolo: *soft smile, eyes bright* I do not know. However, I shall do my utmost to make it as soon as possible.

–

Diavolo: Thank you for your time today. I’m eager to start painting, but I’d also like to hear more from the two of you. *spreads arms, smiling* We should do this again sometime. *chuckles heartily* And Leviathan, I’ll be sure to watch the entire Ruri-chan series in the meantime.

End.

Diavolo: Barbatos, could I ask you to purchase the DVD series?

Barbatos: Of course, My Lord.

Lucifer: What’s this about?

Lucifer: Don’t tell me you’re planning on watching it?

Diavolo: Yes!

Diavolo: The other day, Chise and Leviathan told me all about it.

Diavolo: I think it will be most useful in broadening my knowledge of the human world.

Lucifer: Diavolo…

Diavolo: 😊

Lucifer: I beg of you, please don’t be influenced by Levi.

Diavolo: 😊

Diavolo: Ruri-chan it cute.

Diavolo: 🥰🤗

Lucifer: Are you seriously saying that?

Diavolo: 🥰

Lucifer: What a nightmare.

Diavolo: *sends Princess Diavolo sticker*

Lucifer: Do as you please!

Lucifer: Just don’t start bothering me with that 2D mumbo jumbo.

Diavolo: Would you like to watch it together?

Lucifer: No!

Asmo: Ooooh...Levi, huh? I wish I got to be on the receiving end of your kindness, Chise. *hugs himself with a bit of uncertainty* I’m Beel’s secret Valentine. I can’t think of any other kind gestures I can do besides feed him. What are you planning on doing for Levi?

Maybe we can play a video game together.

Asmo: *tilts head with a hum of doubt* Isn’t that what you two always do? *breaks out into a fond giggle* I mean, I guess if it makes Levi happy and you have fun with it, then there’s nothing better. 

–

2. Maybe we’ll go buy some of his favourite merch or something.

Asmo: *tilts head with a hum of doubt* I get the feeling that you two always do that together. He might become suspicious if you show up all excited about going to see his favs. *smiles encouragingly* Maybe you two should go see something you both have an interest in. 

–

*fade to RAD stairwell*

Levi: *waves with his adorable happy smile* Oh, Chise. There you are. 

Levi: *drops hand with a look of hesitation* ..So, uh...well...you see... *smiles* So, the rules are that everyone’s secret Valentine has to remain a secret, right? In order to do that, I think it’s important to become familiar with their routine and schedule. 

Levi: *cute, upbeat enthusiasm* Anyway, I found this great app that makes organizing a schedule really easy. I’ll send the link to your D.D.D. *eyes crinkle happily* By the way, this app lets you customize the voice that alerts you of any notifications to your favourite one. Let me know if you want to change yours.

Thanks!

Levi: *chuckles nerdily, eyes crinkling* This secret Valentine event is kind of exciting when you think of it like a game, right? *smile widens into an extremely nervous grin* S-So...wh-who do you think your secret Valentine is?

(Leeeeeviiiiiiii your eeeeybroooows)

–

2. I don’t know. Who’s on your palm, Levi?

Levi: *recoils in dramatic shock, eyes widening guiltily* Huh?! ME?! I...uh...well...! I don’t know who might be listening, so I’m not telling anyone! *extremely loud and nervous laughter, brows drawn together with guilty innocence* M-May our endeavours be not in vain!

(Leviiiii your eyebrows are telling on you again)

––––––––

Mammoney: Go ahead and summon it!

––––––––

*HOL hallway*

*knock, knock*

*door unlatches, fade to Levi’s bedroom*

Levi: *smiles with a wave* Oh, Chise! I was just about to go find you. *bursts into a cheerful, giggling grin* Check it out! It’s a special Valentine’s Day item—the giant crystal heart! I just got it in Devil Crossing. You can use this to make limited-edition seasonal furniture for your house. You can have it.

Levi: *beams even brighter* Oh, right. I have some cheesecake from Horror’s Horror too. Do you want some? 

You’re being awfully kind lately.

Levi: *jump with wide-eyed guilt* Th-That is not true at all. *breaks into another grin* N-No need to overthink things. C-Come in and take a load off.

–

2. What do you want to do?

Levi: *raises eyebrows with a noise of surprise* Me? I’m up for whatever you want to do, Chise. *beams again, though with a shy down tilt of his head* I-I’m not being especially considerate or anything like that, you know? It’s just that I think whatever I do together with you is fun, that’s all!

–

Levi: *holds hand out happily* Here’s your cheesecake. There’s some mango gelatin topping too, if you like. I’ll give you that item in Devil Crossing in the meantime. 

Levi: Then...hm? *frowns* Uh-oh. *grimaces with a low hum of concern* Lotan isn’t looking very good. See him in the Siren Sea Globe...?

I wonder what’s wrong...?

Levi: *sad concern* Something seems off, like something’s bothering him.

–

2. What’s a Siren Sea Globe?

Levi: *wide-eyed disbelief* Hey! Don’t tell me you forgot! It’s the magical globe that allows me to peer into the Siren Sea! *expression grows concerned again* Look and see for yourself. Something seems off about him.

–

Levi: *quiet thoughtfulness* He doesn’t appear to be sick... I’ll try summoning him—

Don’t do it!

Levi: ...*shakes head sadly* You’re right. If I summon him here, then all of my merch will get ruined. *nods* I’ll go see him myself then. Chise, will you come with me?

A) Of course!

Levi: *grins with appreciation* Thanks! I knew I could count on you to come with me. 

B) I guess I’ll tag along.

Levi: *cute smile of appreciation* Sorry, I know we had plans to chill in my room. But thank you.

–

2. Why don’t we go to him instead?

Levi: *nods seriously* Maybe you’re right. If I summon him here, Lucifer will tie me up to the ceiling by my feet for sure. 

–

Levi: *smiles sweetly* I think Lotan will be really happy to see you’ve come along with me as well! 

––––––––

monSOLO: I'd like to hang out with Lotan.

*nighttime beach*

Levi: *smiles eagerly, hands on his pockets* Lotan! It’s me. Come out! 

*flash of white, camera shakes as a loud crash of waves hits the shore*

Levi: *raises hand in enthusiastic greeting* Hey, there. What’s going on? You seemed a little off, so we came to check up on you. See? Chise’s here too.

Levi: *bursts into cheerful laughter, happy sparkles* Whoa! C’mon, Lotan, you’re embarrassing me. Stop nuzzling against me like that. 

I think he wanted to see you, Levi.

Levi: *eyes widen with his blush of realization* Lotan...was that the reason you seemed down? Did you want to see me? *hides face with an emotional cry of joy, happy happy sparkles* The only one who could miss a demon like me is you, Lotan! 

–

2. Maybe he was lonely.

Levi: *falls into dramatic despair* Forgive meeee! I’m such a worthless otaku...! How could I leave you for so long, Lotan? 

–

Levi: *smiles excitedly* I’m going to play with you all day, Lotan! It’s not quite the season to be playing in water, but would you play with us, Chise?

Let’s play!

Levi: *beams happily, bouncing on his heels with excitement* All right! Today we’re going to have a beach day! *grimace-wince* ...Gee, that’s not something you hear from me every day, huh? 

–

2. Let’s hang out together!

Levi: *smiles adorably* I’m really glad that you came with me, Chise. I don’t think it would be as fun without you. *eyes crinkle happily, laughing* See? Even Lotan looks happy.

–

Levi: *holds up his hand with a grn* I brought a giant beach ball with me so we can play together with Lotan. Hold on, I’ll blow it up now.

Levi: *fierce determination* *bloooow* *gaaaasp* *bloooow* *gaaaasp*! 

Levi: *squeaks in dismay* *wheeze* *wheeze*...Is it just me, or is this beach ball not blowing up at all?! *pouts in disappointment* I guess I should’ve picked something a little smaller than the mega-size for Lotan...

I’ll help you.

Levi: *shoulders slump with relief* Th-Thanks... My lungs are about to collapse... *sulky pout of shame* I’ll make sure to bring an air pump next time...

–

2. Shall I blow it up using magic?

Levi: *dramatic cry of joy, happy sparkles* Chise, my saviour!

*flash of white, magic sparkles*

Levi: *sighs with relief* Phew...you’re a real lifesaver. I wasn’t going to have any energy left to play with Lotan. 

–

Levi: *smiles, presumably holding up what is now a GIANT beach ball* All right! Here it comes, Lotan! Pass it to Chise!

*smack!*

Levi: *laughs cheerfully* Whoo! Nice pass! Lotan, over here, over—

*smack!*

Levi: B’WUGH!

Levi: *rubs his face with a pained squeak* Ouch... He got me right in the face... 

Are you okay?!

Levi: *cute pouting* I think so... 

–

2. Lotan says he’s sorry!

Levi: *smiles, chuckling happily* That’s okay, Lotan. I wasn’t ready for it in time. 

–

Levi: *tilts head* Hm? You want to play even more? Listen here, mister. If you think I’m going to play with you until I can’t move another muscle, then... *bursts into a beaming grin, crying out happily* You’d be absolutely right! Bring it on! Today, I am...THE BEACH BOY!

*time skip*

Levi: *wheeze*...*gasp* *pant*...*wheeze*...  

Levi: *absolutely knackered* I-I’m...exhausted... *sighs* We played enough volleyball to last us a lifetime… *smiles sweetly* Thank you for coming with me today, Chise. I think it’s about time we head home. 

Levi: *smiles wide with an affection wave of goodbye* Lotan, I’ll be back soon to play with you. Be good while I’m gone.

Do you think Lotan will be okay? 

Levi: *noise of happy confirmation with an adorable, eye-crinkling grin* Yeah, he got to play to his heart’s content today. Besides, Lotan and I can still communicate even when we’re apart. 

–

2. He still looks sad.

Levi: *laughs reassuringly* Lotan, you’ll be fine, right? Our thoughts keep us connected even when we’re apart!

–

*fade to RAD exchange student greenhouse lounge*

Diavolo: *big beaming smile, arms spread in welcome* Happy Valentine’s Day! I am very pleased to see everyone gathered here today to celebrate together. Let’s start by announcing everyone’s secret Valentine. I’m sure you’ve all been wondering who your secret Valentine is.

Barbatos: *dips head, expression soft* The names written on your palms will now appear above your heads. *eyes crinkle in cheerful delight* Please thank your secret Valentine for the kindness they’ve shown you.

*flash of white, magic sparkles*

Levi: *eyes widen in shock* …! …Chise, you’re my secret Valentine?!

––––––––

Stn: The rumours were true.

––––––––

Levi: *stares in disbelief* So you were my secret Valentine all along... *squeaks with joy, breaking out into a grin* This is such a coincidence. Your name was written on my palm as well, which means I’m your secret Valentine too!

I had a feeling that was the case.

Levi: *hides face with disappointed shame* G’wah! Seriously...?! W-Was I that obvious?

–

2. You are?! I had no idea!

Levi: Really?! *bounces on heels, laughing happily* I wonder if I have a future in acting?

–

Levi: *holds hand out with a smile* Anyway, this is my Valentine’s Day present to you, Chise. It’s chocolate and...this is your very own Siren Sea Globe. You helped me take care of Lotan, remember? *nods with a happy little hum* It would make me really happy if you would help me watch over him using this.

Thank you! Here’s something in return.

Levi: *jumps in wide-eyed surprise, immediately blushing* You got me a present too...? I was satisfied simply being your secret Valentine...! *dramatic cry of joy, happy sparkles* I hit the gacha jackpot for this year’s Valentine’s Day!

–

2. I have something for you too.

Levi: *jumps in surprise, brows drawing together in cute disbelief* Huh? Really? How did I end up so lucky this Valentine’s Day...? This isn’t part of some trick that’s going to blow up in my face, is it?

–

*flash of white, magic sparkles*

Levi: *eyes widen again* What’s this magic? Whoa…WHOOA!

*fade to white, magic chiming*

*fade to a scene within the sea*

*soft music plays: Bonds*

Levi: *stares around in emotional awe* Did...you create this ocean by yourself with magic?! It’s amazing! It looks like we’re inside the Siren Sea Globe! *breaks out into a delighted smile* I can even breathe underwater. It feels like I’m floating in the middle of the ocean! *bursts out into cheerful, amused laughter* ...Is that a Henry made of chocolate that I see swimming by?! Chise, I’m blown away!

Levi: *gasps with a happy, excited jump* Look! You can see Lotan swimming around like us from inside the Siren Sea Globe! *beams, laughing in delight* He looks so happy. It’s like we’re playing together even though we’re apart. 

Levi: *returns eye contact with a smile* Actually, Lotan and I have a present for you. Have you heard the rumour that deep at the bottom of the Devildom ocean, there lies a field of flowers?

Levi: *offers hand out* Lotan went and picked some for you after I told him about it. This bouquet was made from flowers picked from the ocean floor. Will you accept it...?

Thanks!

Levi: *bounces with a happy chuckle, grinning wide* Lotan and I are glad that you like them. 

–

2. They’re beautiful.

Levi: *gentle, sweet smile* Do you like them? *hums uncertainly, growing thoughtful* I don’t really give out flowers very often. I thought that they would end up wilting for sure as soon as I had the chance to give them to you. *smiles, eyes creasing with joy* I’m glad that they made it to your hands while they’re still intact. 

–

Levi: *sweet, adorable smile* Oh, Lotan is swimming around. It looks like he’s dancing! He must be happy that you like them too. 

Levi: *looks down with a blush, lips pressed with nervousness* ...Do you...want to dance too?

Levi: *nerdy giggle, smiling with a mix of happy anxiety* Hehe. It’s nice that I don’t have to worry about stepping on your foot while dancing in water like this. 

Levi: *blushes, meets gaze directly again, orange snakey eyes earnest* ...I can see the waves being reflected in your eyes, Chise. It’s making them sparkle... *shifts weight nervously, hesitant* C-Can I...kiss you, perhaps?

You can kiss me.

*closes eyes, kissing Levi*

Levi: Mn...

Levi: …*looks to the side with a blush* Your lips feel like a cool piece of chocolate, Chise. I like it. Is that part of the magic too? *returns eye contact, gazing earnestly* I wish I could kiss you here forever. 

Levi: *hides his face with a gasp* ...That’s if my heart doesn’t explode! C’mon, heart! Don’t fail me now...!

– – – – –

Hilarious rejection option:

2. I think chocolate Henry wants a kiss instead!

Levi: *brows furrow, absolutely perplexed* Huh? Henry?! W-Well, I guess so... *smooch*... 

*camera shake*

Levi: *squeaks in sulky disappointment* Hey, he swam away from me! *glares after the poor goldfish* Well, it’s not like I wanted to kiss him anyway! But it doesn’t make being rejected any less painful!

Levi: *closes eyes briefly* …Aherm.

– – – – –

Levi: *smiles sweetly* Chise, thank you for making this Valentine’s Day the most special I’ve ever had. I’m happy that we got to be each other’s secret Valentines. This has got to be fate or something, right?! *bursts into cheerful laughter, happy sparkles* This Valentine’s Day, I emerge victorious! 

End.

Text chat: The Birth of a Normie?! (from Leviathan)

––––––––––––––––

Levi: Chise, are you in your room?

Levi: Take a look at Lotan with your Siren Sea Globe.

Levi: It feels like he’s telling me to toughen up so I can play with him more, doesn’t it?

You two can communicate with your thoughts, right?

Levi: Lotan is definitely expecting me to keep up with him next time.

Levi: We would have a lot more fun together if I could last longer as well.

Levi: I guess this means I’ll have to hit the gym.

–

2. Better hit the gym, Levi!

Levi: Now that you’re on my case too, I guess there’s no backing out now.

Levi: Do you think I can get a six-pack?!

–

Levi: Let’s say I get the perfect bod by next summer. Then what?

Levi: Should I try surfing?

You’d look like a real normie!

Levi: Hmmm. 

Levi: I can’t imagine myself riding a wave like those cool surfer guys in movies.

Levi: But I want to try all sorts of fun activities with you.

Levi: Wait, did that really come out of my mouth?!

Levi: 🫣

–

2. Can you even surf?

Levi: Of course I can!

Levi: With Lotan’s help.

Levi: 😏

Text chat: Spill it! (from The Demon Brothers (New)(7))

––––––––––––––––

Mammon: So, who was everyone’s secret Valentine?

Lucifer: I was Asmo’s secret Valentine.

Asmo: Lucifer’s idea of kindness was micromanaging my every move!

Asmo: 😬

Mammon: I was Lucifer’s secret Valentine! Ya can bet that I showered him with so much love!

Lucifer: I believe you mean that you showered me with your credit card bills.

Mammon: Hey, ya keep naggin’ me about buyin’ stuff I don’t need. I thought you’d appreciate seein’ the receipts.

Lucifer: 😒

Satan: I was Belphie’s secret Valentine.

Belphie: He kept a spare blanket and pillow with him so that I could nap where and whenever I felt tired.

Asmo: Satan really is a good brother.

Asmo: I thought being Beel’s secret Valentine would e a piece of cake, but I could hardly keep up with how much food he ate.

Beel: I was Satan’s secret Valentine.

Satan: He kept trying to shove food into my mouth.

Belphie: I was Mammon’s secret Valentine.

Mammon: Ya were?! Did ya even bother tryin’ to do anythin’ nice for me?!

Belphie: I didn’t bother you while you slept, did I?

Mammon: Oh gee, that was real nice of ya!

Mammon: NOT! Man, I got ripped off this year!

Levi: It sounds like I had the best Valentine’s Day of all. Sorry, not sorry LOL

Mammon: 🤬🤬

Mod's Unhinged Commentary:

He and Lotan just hang out! They can share thoughts and feelings! He can see him in a globe!  He doesn’t just have command over Lotan! He treats Lotan like a true friend and earned his loyalty! How did I not know any of this!

Levi took one look at a monstrous sea creature‚ a twisted and terrifying outcast‚ and went “himb friend shaped”!!!!

Lotan never belonged to the Celestial Realm as an asset to their war that Levi conveniently happened to take command of. Lotan belongs to Levi!!! With Levi!!!! Levi was the asset!!!! He was a true and key general and strategist!!!! AHHHHHHHHHHHH

And he’s just a dramatic baby boy who makes squeaky noises and laughs like a total dork and has the more adorable smile for someone so grumpy and then he goes about waving his arms screaming dramatically,,, and his eagerness to jump right into cosplay despite him not wanting to draw attention to himself he struts his stuff because he does it FOR HIMSELF. 

He turns his feelings of deep shame into behaviour he is UNASHAMED OF because HWHY NOT. When you lack so much confidence that you do a 180 and become confident because 🖕🖕🖕 why NOT. sknfdjksnskf!!!!!

BEING WEIRD MAKES HIM CONFIDENT AHHH . .and then he’s key to saving Simeon’s life… Simeon who looks up to him as the creative who inspired him to write TSL oh my god… I love him… Levi my baby boooyyyy thank you for not being a COMPLETE incel

Levi: Do you remember the time I tried to ambush Solomon? *sulky pout* Although, he ended up dodging my attack. But that’s just because I was dealing with Solomon. I could’ve taken them out if it were anyone else. *more nerdy snickering* I was able to do all that precisely because I was camping out on the hill.

Isn’t that kind of cheating?

Levi: *half-covers face, pouting* There’s no such thing as cheating when you’re at war! Victory goes to those who make it out alive!

–

2. What do you mean by camping?

Levi: *smirks* It means I was lying in wait for my enemies. People tend to hate campers in FPS games, but…  *flat determination, maybe a bit of shame* ...I’ll use whatever means necessary if it means I can win!

--------

DDSimeon: As much as you want, be...

--------

Levi: *grins with excitement* I’ll show you how real Splash Survival Hell Games are played, Chise. Hey, look, Chise. Over there... It’s Satan. *snickers, bounces on heels, happy sparkles* We got an easy target. First, let’s toss something in front of him and make him back up. Here, take this water balloon. You don’t have to hit him.

Leave it to me!

Levi: *serious nod* Don’t throw it until I give you the go-ahead.

*bated-breath pause*

Levi: …NOW!

*camera shake*

Satan: *jumps back, horrified* Gah! *perplexed, defeat head shake* That came out of nowhere…

Levi: *raises brows, impressed* Whoops, looks like you actually hit him. Oh well, this means Satan’s out of the game now, so… *grins, happy bouncing and sparkles* Nice throw, Chise! No problemo! Everything’s fine! *attempts to hide self-conscious grimace* I didn’t get a chance to shine, though... Haha...

–

2. Show me how it’s done, Levi.

Levi: *nods eagerly, preening smile* All right, if you insist! I suppose I can do that! *raises hand* First, you throw the water balloon in front of your opponent!

*throw, SPLASH*

Satan: *shocked jump* Huh?! *scowling, pissed-off head shake* What was that?!

Levi: *ruthless, confident excitement* Then, when the enemy starts backing up, you catch them off guard and launch an attack!

Satan: *gasps, wide-eyed, hand on chest* Gah…!

Levi: *grins, nerdy laugh* And that’s how you do it. Attacking your opponent when they pause is a good way to get them. I suggest you remember this tactic for next time.

--------

Beelzeburger: Food is more important th…

--------

Levi: *passionate, happy* As you can see, strategy matters just as much in Splash Survival Hell Games as it does in regular Survival Hell Games. There are other things that are important too, but it all comes down to how you fight in the end.

You sure seem chipper.

Levi: *beams, pleased noise of agreement* It is my field of expertise, after all. Although I will say that I’m better at fighting in-game than in real life. I know. *hopeful laugh* We should play some FPS games together sometime, Chise. That’s not a request by the way, got it?

–

2. I don’t really get it, but wow!

Levi: *exasperated sigh* You don’t really get it, huh? Well, I don’t blame you. You can learn as you go along. If there’s something you don’t get, you can always ask me.

–

Levi: *gasps, wide-eyed* Hey! Solomon’s here. *smirks* Just watch. I’ll be sure to bring Solomon down this time.

You’re awesome!

Levi: *pleased, nerdy laugh* Hehe, I’ve got to show off my cool side every now and then. This is my time to shine, so don’t take your eyes off me!

–

2. You might pay for it later if you get too cocky.

Levi: *sulky* Don’t be so mean. I’ll make sure to bring him down with one shot. Just sit back and observe.

–

Levi: *zero’d-in focus* ...Good, a little bit closer now. Just one more step...

Levi: …*fierce* Now!

Solomon: *sing-song* Hi! *waves gun in friendly greeting, sinisterly pleasant smile* I wouldn’t do that if I were you. If you pull that trigger, I’ll fire back at the same time.

Levi: *wide-eyed, shocked squawk* Wha…?!

Solomon: *pleasant, calm, cocky, eyes sparkling with sneaky mischief* Did you really think I hadn’t noticed?

Levi: *panics* Crap... Not looking good! Let’s get out of here, Chise!

Solomon: *sweet, eye-crinkling smile, laughing in sheer delight* I won’t let you get away.

 --------

monSOLO: So that's where you were...

--------

*bridge path, Devildom backdrop*

Levi: *pant* *pant* ...You seriously can’t underestimate Solomon! *sighs* I didn’t get to show off my skills after all...

You did. Plenty.

Levi: *hides face* *peeks out from under fringe, blushing* R-Really? Hearing you say that kinda, well, makes me all warm and fuzzy inside...

–

2. That’s what I like about you.

Levi: *immediately hides face* *squeezes eyes shut, bright red* Gah! Don’t just say that out of the blue! I thought I was going to DIE! But thanks. I’m glad to hear that...

–

Levi: I’m happy I got to play a game that I’m good at, though. *drops hand, still blushing, avoiding eye contact* ...I mean, I got to show you a side of me that you don’t usually get to see... That is, a cooler version of me.

Sure, we’ll go with that!

Levi: *sulky pout, hiding face* What do you mean by that?! I WAS pretty cool today, wasn’t I?! *determined* Fine, I can do better than that. I swear I’ll bring Solomon down with one shot this time! *soft blush, looking aside* …So, um... If I succeed, I’d like you to kiss me as a reward, okay?

A) I’ll think about it.

Levi: *rejected sulk* You’ll think about it?! That’s it?! Whatever, I just need to beat Solomon! *nerdy pep-talk laugh* Let’s go, Leviathan!

B) I’ll kiss you right now.

*surprise kisses*

*jumps, wide-eyed shock, face crimson* Mn…?!

Levi: *hides face, squeezes eyes shut* N-No taking me by surprise like that! *sighs, looks aside, still hiding* This is no good. You shot me straight through the heart before I could shoot Solomon, Chise...

–

2. I want to see your cool side more often.

Levi: *eyes widen* Huh?! *perplexed, oblivious* Do you want to go look for more enemies to defeat then?

2. A) Sounds good! Let’s go hunting!

Levi: *smiles* Time for another round, I guess! *frustrated hum* I’d like to have another go at Solomon if possible. Let’s come up with a plan to outwit Solomon, Chise!

2. B) I meant I want you to kiss me.

Levi: *jumps, wide-eyed* Say WHAT?! *crimson blush* Th-That’s what you want?! *looks aside, shy* ...S-Sure, I can do that much. R-Ready?

*kisses*

*soft, intimate music*

…Mn… 

Levi: ...Mm *pants* …*looks aside* *sighs in resignation, bottom lip quivering nervously* It’s no use. How am I supposed to act cool? *hides reddened face self-consciously* This is the most I can manage right now!
