A new voice greeted them. "How about this? I vote for YOU to die, Mammon."

Mammon recognized him. "D'ah...! Levi..."

Who was this strange new person? Ivy studied him, curiosity setting in. Purple hair, golden eyes. He seemed interesting. Ivy tilted her head. He was called 'Levi', huh? Was it short for something? Mammon turned to his old friend. "... Uh, l-listen up, human! This here is Leviathan, the Avatar of Envy. He's the third oldest of us brothers. Since his name's sorta hard to say, you can just call him Levi! Okay then, let's move on."

'Leviathan' shook his head. "Mammon, give me back my money. Then go crawl in a hole and die."

"Come on, I told you I'd get it to you! I just need a little more time. ... And you still want me to die even after I give it back? That's real harsh, Levi!"

"You need a little more time? How much more?"

"A little more, okay?! A little more means a little more!"

"You've been telling me that for the last 200 years, Mammon."

"Hey, no! It hasn't been 200 years! It's been 260! Get it right, Levi!"

'Complete idiot. Cosmos, your choice of friends is horrid.'
'No need to tell me, Cancer. I knew from day numero uno.'

"Unbelievable. Seriously Mammon, you're--"

"I'm what? Scum? Is that what you're gonna say?"

'Mammon was rude to his brother! Cosmos, how are you friends with him?!'
'I ask myself that every waking hour, Pisces.'
'She really does.'
'Thank you, Aquarius'

"--you're a lowlife and a waste of space."

'Get wrecked bitch.'
'Sagittarius, language.'
'Apologies, Cosmos'

"Hey! Come on, that's even worse!"

"Whatever... Just give me back my money. I need it to buy the Blu-ray box set of Journey to the Devildom: The Tale of a Little She-Devil and Her Reluctant Companion. The initial round of copies includes promotional tickets to a live event as a special bonus."

"I've got no idea what you're even talking about, Levi, but it doesn't matter! Because I don't even have any money to give you! How am I supposed to give back money I don't have, huh?!"

'What is the matter with him?!'
'Virgo, I'm getting a migraine.'
'Sorry!'

"So then, you're telling me you refuse to pay me back?"

"... What? You looking for a fight, is that it?"

Ivy stood to the side. She rubbed her temples. "This isn't my business."

'Good idea.'
'Thank you, Libra'

Mammon turned to her. "Listen, human. You remember my advice from before about what to do when demons attack? Well, you're about to witness that for real. So... time for you to die, because it's either you or me, it ain't gonna be me!"

Levi looked confused. "Hold on. I thought your advice was either to run away or--... Wh... dammit, Mammon! That ass... he ran off...! Do you realize what just happened? Mammon used you as a distraction to get away from me. ... Or maybe I should say he used you as a sacrifice. I'll admit that Mammon is one of the scummiest scumbags you'll ever meet... a total lowlife. But still, that was pretty dumb of you letting him use you like that. (He sighs) This is EXACTLY why humans are--... Wait a second. Humans... yes, that's it... Suddenly, I've got an idea."

Ivy gave him a blank stare. "I have a feeling that I'm not going to like this."

"Listen, are you free right now? Of course you are. You've gotta be, right? You know what? Never mind. Either way, you're coming with me."

Mammon then gave Ivy a quick text and she responded.

Mammon was going to be the death of her.
