Last time we saw Lucien's personal issues along with his near death encounter with a Stray Devil! Let's see how life has been treating him since then! What else might he encounter along the way?

Two years had passed since Lucien Gremory's near death experience with the Stray Devil. Things had certainly changed since then, Lucien went from wearing sophisticated clothing and his hair being straight and clean to something more casual. He now wore a white tank top with a purple hooded jacket overtop. Black cargo pants with a pair of white sneakers. His red hair was now kept in a messy ponytail that was unkept. He also always had a pair of headphones around his neck at all times as he had taken quite a liking to the music of the human world.
Lucien was currently working at his job, a barista at the Count's business that was a source of income and a way of hiding his secret artifact collection. Lucien was currently in his work clothes of a white dress shirt, black dress vest, black dress pants, and black dress shoes. Of course he still had his black headphones around his neck. Lucien looked out over the cafe, named the "Cackling Skull" with a bored look on his face.

(AN: Like this, but a bit more gothic.)

Lucien watched the customers with little interest as he was ready for another customer to walk through the door. Lucien felt a tap on his shoulder as he looked to see the Count, who was currently dressed in an attire similar to his only he was wearing his trademark hat on the top of his head.
"Morning young chap! How goes the service today?" Skell asked as he looked at his employee with his usual smile on his face. "The usual regulars are here, although we have been getting quite a few new faces as well." Lucien mumbled as he still looked out over the cafe still slightly bored. Skell leaned in so he could whisper to Lucien. "My connections tell me another Stray Devil has appeared and is causing some trouble. It's almost been a week since your last one, have fun once we close up for the day." Skell said as Lucien cracked a smile of his own, looks like he had something to look forward to.

Later in the Day
Lucien was changing back into his street clothes and quickly stuffed his ponytail into a beanie. Whenever he went Stray Devil hunting he always kept his hair covered by a hat just in case he ran into any members of his sister's peerage. Of all places for the Count to set up shop it had to be Kuoh Town. Lucien then grabbed something very important to his hunts, a large Katana that was practically as tall as a person.
