A Demon Misplaced

~Can't we dance like everything's alright?~

"Start again." Naruto held a knife. "And if you say 'oppai' one more time, no one alive will be able to fix what I do to you."

"You see, senpai," the boy gulped. "This was the only place I could think of bringing her to."

Akeno giggled. This was more entertaining despite the storm that was coming. She observed the nun awkwardly shifting in her seat next to Issei having finished her own bowl of ramen. This girl had all the things a guy wanted in their significant other: blonde, chaste, and pretty.

"And you come to my ramen shop?" The blond sighed as the nun waved at him, offering a smile too. It was cute and warm. Even the Misanthropist was affected; his face was a bit more relaxed. "Why did you bring her here? Didn't Akeno or Tomato King tell you not to bother me?"

'Oh that is precious,' Akeno snickered at the nickname. Her King would not be amused.

"But senpai, she's new around here and starving. Wouldn't you help out a person like that?"

"Only if I get paid."

"My, oh my," the Queen said, taking her hat off. "What a cruel heart you have."

"I gave you free lunch."

"You didn't pay for my services."

"I gave you free lunch."

"I've done the same for the past few weeks."

"Didn't you volunteer for this?"

"True, but this way you'll never expand."

"You two are a wonderful couple," the nun spoke, with a joyous smile on her face. The rich Italian accent was prominent in her voice, perhaps she was from the Northern side.

"What did she say?" Naruto asked, Issei looked to a bit depressed at what the nun said. Only two of the four people understood what Asia Argento said. Akeno was slightly glad that her blond friend didn't realize what her words entailed. She liked the sound of it.

"Senpai," Issei began, tears in his eyes. He looked hopeless. "You're such a lucky man." Naruto narrowed his own seriously at Issei, the blue irides sharpened and Akeno felt a bit on edge, excited too. Then it passed. The store owner sighed.

"If I was lucky, I'd away from everyone here. Especially her," Akeno smiled back as he looked at her.

"You can't be serious!" Issei bellowed, hands slamming the countertop. "You have Akeno-senpai working for you! In an apron! That's like my dream coming true! Don't tell me you've never thought of her wearing that."

"You better start praying to whatever pitchfork wielding deity you Devils have," Naruto dodged the topic as she saw it. "If I find one crack on the furniture, into the oven you'll go headfirst, ama." Akeno grew delighted at his words. He truly had no idea what he was doing to her by speaking so vulgarly about acts of violence. Oh, how she wished for her whip to appear right now.

"Ama?" Asia asked confused. Not realizing what she just said.

Serafall Leviathan often praised the communication system the Evil Pieces had. Devils could speak in their common tongue, ancient Enochian, and yet humans of other nationalities would hear it in their mother tongue without getting confused. Asia could understand what they were saying only when Issei or Akeno spoke to her, when talking to Naruto she would hear them speaking Japanese. Naturally, hearing the blond say that word confused her.

"What is ama?" Asia asked. She then, innocently, pointed at Issei and began. "Is that a nickname for Issei? Ama?"

Naruto coughed, leaning over the countertop and put his hand on Issei's shoulder. He then pointed at the Pawn of Rias Gremory. "Ama."
