"Denji."

"Denji."

"Wakey, wakey!" Himeno wakes up the blond.

"Can we leave the 8th floor now?" Denji drowsily asks her.

"Hate to disappoint, but it looks like we're still stuck. While you were sleeping, we learned we can use the water and electricity." she continued," As far as food goes, there was a little bit in the luggage the hotel guest left behind while they ran."

"To be honest with you, everybody's getting pretty worn down," Himeno admitted.

"Aki's been hunting for the devil nonstop while dragging Sallos with him. I've been trying to get him to take a break and stop dragging Sallos but he's not listening. Sallos said he'll look after the stubborn devil hunter."

"Arai was helping Aki at first... but now he's freaking out. He shut himself in a room and won't come out."

"Kobeni lost it and tried to drink from the toilet. So I knocked her out."

"And there's the fiend... " "Power? what about her?" asked, now Denji fully awake.

"I'm bored, so I was thinking up a Nobel prize-winning invention!" the blood fiend announced,"If I win a nobel prize, humans will grovel before me! And then I'll use my nobel prize as a stepping stone to become prime minister!

"I want to watch humans suffer, so my first act as prime minister will be to implement a 100 percent sales tax!"

The two stared at Power, "She seems the same as always to me." Denji said.

"Oh that's... good then."

The trio proceeds to where those were resting," The three of us will guard Kobeni and Arai. Can't even take a bathroom break if I'm the only one doing it." said Himeno.

Seeing Kobeni still knocked out and Arai seems like he's gonna piss his pants, Himeno lights up a cigarette," Darn. Down to my last cigarette!"

Power huffed," You two are too calm. It's no fun!"

"Since Aki and Sallos are on the job right now, I can take it easy and relax. Plus it's the power of nicotine." Himeno showed her cigarette box."It's so great having an addiction. In this life, you need something to take the edge off."

"Hey, that's the same brand as the jerk smokes," Denji commented.

"That's because I'm the one who taught Aki to appreciate the taste of cigarettes." Himeno grinned.

A male voice chimed in,"Himeno... Do you have any cigarettes left?"

"Sorry! This is my last one!" She pointed to her cigar.

"Then let me have that one." Aki insisted.

"Seriously? You hopeless addict." Himeno gave Aki her last cigarette.

"That's a kiss! An indirect kiss! No fair!!!" Denji fumed. "How unhygienic," Sallos mumbled.

"Shut up."Aki glared at them. "I've got bad news. Remember the devil we killed...?"

"You mean the one I killed!" Power exclaimed.

"Yeah, well, it's gotten bigger... a lot bigger..." showing where he and Sallos found the devil at.

The corridor seems to be infested with a big clump of flesh decorated with multiple faces and limbs of people.

"Ew, I should have brought gloves, but then again I'm not going nowhere near that shit." Sallos cringed at the sight.

"I thought I killed it.." Power quavered.

"Trapping us in this hotel... A form that I've never seen before... What kind of devil is this thing?" Himeno speculated.

The "thing" started to talk with its multiple mouths. "Human. Humans. Foolish humans. I'll offer you a contract."

"It spoke!" Denji shouted.

"A contract...?" Aki curious.

"Let me eat that human named Denji... Dead or alive... feed him to me." It offered, "... and I'll return all of you devil hunters to the outside unharmed.

The group was stunned and uneasy with the offer. A door was heard opening, revealing the now awake Kobeni.

"Denji... let it eat you..." Kobeni said desperately while holding a knife.
