Shuichi tried not to look at his uncle as he grabbed the plate of food on the table cans headed out.
"Have a good day at school!" His aunt and uncle chimed as Shuichi just quickly escaped.
"They seem nice." Rantaro thinks.
"Mmmhmmm..." Kokichi replied dismissively.
"So... Shuichi. Mind telling us a little about yourself?" Rantaro asked.
"Don't get attached to the fleshy! We'll be out of his lives once we back in our own bodies!" Kokichi insisted.
"I'm trying to make this whole situation easier ya know?" Rantaro sighed.
"Do that by staying quiet! Let fleshy live his life!" Kokichi hissed.
"I don't mind talking about myself. If you could talk about yourselves too... oh but you said something about it maybe getting you all in trouble.... Well than. You can mind wipe me afterwards. That way there's no harm done." Shuichi tells them mentally as starts nibbling on the peanut butter and jelly sandwich he nabbed.
"Hmp. Fine. Go head." Kokichi sighed.
"Okay. So I'm an angel now. Since I was a human, but I died. And I'm basically this guys guardian. He's the devil prince." Rantaro explains.
"I'm Lucifer's son! His one and only flesh and blood." Kokichi paused as he recalled that weird vision of him being held by his mom and some random guy holding a kid just like him.
"Kokichi?" Rantaro asked.
"It's... nothing." Kokichi refused to talk about it, "Anyways! Stupid over there messed up my soul card releasing a bunch of souls in limbo and now we have to gather them all up. So I've been exiled from home until than... or perhaps forever it's unclear..." Kokichi sighed.
"I'm sorry okay. I'm starting to understand that maybe I didn't get or understand what you were trying to do. I just saw it as you bullying some old man... but... it's more than that isn't it? With how serious you've taken things lately and how focused you are on helping those ghost people...." Rantaro explains.
"Imma stop you right there! I have a job to do. As part angel I have to help spirits cross over. I don't care where they go as long as they don't cause problems for us infernal or angels. Corrupted spirits... cause problems for everyone." Kokichi sighed.
"You were extremely concerned about Shuichi fading into non existent just a few minutes ago as well! You can't say that's part of your job too! I doubt angels or infernal care of souls vanish cause that doesn't sound like a problem." Rantaro insisted.
"It is a problem though! It fcks with the cycle of rebirth! Sure it's not a common occurrence! But it's still my job to watch out for it!" Kokichi protests blushing.
Shuichi just smiles touching his chest feeling very warm, "Kokichi. You're actually really sweet. Thank you for caring about someone like me." Shuichi beamed.
"Pftpftpft! What are you on about!?! I'm the prince of hell! I don't care about nothing expect world domination and total annihilation! There are rules that we have to follow and as a prince it's my job my duty to follow through to a T to set the example to our infernal kind! Don't get weird shit like feelings and kindness into this! It has nothing to do with that! Understand!!! NOTHING!!!" Kokichi wailed.
"So... let me ask you this... Is the reason you wanted to go into purgatory... actually because you believe that the souls that got put in there will only be torment and corrupted by purgatory itself?" Rantaro asked.
"Well obviously!" Kokichi blurted.
"But Kokichi... That's not your responsibility or job. Once you hand them to that other arch devil it's his responsibility." Rantaro explains.
