Arai left to check the food and suddenly yelled out Power's name, causing the said female to rush there with Kobeni following.

Power: What is it, human!?

Arai: Did you eat all the food!?

Power: *Smirks proudly* With PLEASURE!

The tall male argues with Power, leaving Kobeni even more terrified then she already was.

Kobeni: W-W-We're all gonna die here...No food, no water, no escape...I-Its your fault! Arai-kun, we should kill the Devilman!

She yells as she holds up her knife and runs towards Power at an impressive speed, but Arai blocks her.

Arai: Hey, we can talk this out!

Kobeni: A-Arai-kun....That's right! Y-Y-You're a spy! DEFINITELY A SPY!!

Arai: He-!

Grumbling was heard, and Aki was heard shouting out, "Run!"

Everyone immediately did as told and ran the opposite direction as Eternity Devil.

Himeno: Nehh, Kobeni-chan, you should calm down. Devils feed on fear.

Suddenly, the room shifted in a weird manner. Everyone jumped on a small platform, and looked down to see the Eternity Devil.

"Give them to me and I'll let you all go.."

Kobeni: Denji, just let it eat you...

Denji: H-?

She immediately crawls over to Denji while preparing to thrust her knife, but stabs Ranpo in the process.

Ranpo: Ouchie...

Kobeni: E-E-E-E-E-EEEEEK!

The detective sits himself down beside Denji and grunts slightly, trying to deal with the deep cut.

*Fart*

Ranpo: Denji, did you just fart on my wound after I saved y-

He immediately regretted talking so casually, and covered his mouth.

Himeno: Power! Can you stop the bleeding!?

Power: Meh, I can only manipulate my blood. But I'll give it a try.

The fiend sits down beside Ranpo and touches the wound. But of course, her hand gets slapped away by Aki.

Aki: No, look...

Ranpo's wound was healing on its own.

Arai: Edogawa...What are you?

Denji: Hey, I just realized something...If it want's me and Edogawa-kun, doesn't that mean he's scared to attack us? That means he's so terrified of my chainsaws and Edogawa-kun's... Knowledge that he needs you guys to kill us for him.

Himeno: So you're sayi-

Ranpo: Yay!

The short detective jumps down like he's not gonna get himself killed.

Kobeni: We're all free!

Aki: EDOGAWA!!

Denji: Edogawa-kun!!

Denji was about to jump down while Himeno prepared her ghost hand. But in an instant...The Eternity Devil was heard crying and pleading for help.

"STOP! Not like this... DON'T TORTURE ME AGAIN! HERE'S MY HEART, KILL ME! I'LL LET YOU ALL G-"

Ranpo: Quiet. We've still got our businesses with each other right? Like how we were friends but you wanted to kill me!

The eternity Devil wasn't talking, which made everyone confused.

Ranpo: Okay, Farewell.

The Eternity Devil vanishes into thin air.

Aki: Wha-

Himeno: Finally out!

Denji: Man, I love grass.

Aki: We got a small fragment of It.

Arai: This is so relieving..

Himeno: We should party!

It was now nighttime, and Ranpo was seen walking together with Kobeni towards the restaurant.

Ranpo: Hellooo!

Everyone greeted him and Kobeni kindly before sitting down.

Ranpo sat beside Power, because why not? He also stole some of her food while she wasn't looking.

Power: MINE! ALL THESE FOODS ARE MINE!

Himeno orders for 2 shots of 100% Alcoholic beer and passes one to Ranpo who who happily accepts it.

Himeno: Can you take beer?

Ranpo: Yes, of course! It's just not my favourite.

The eyepatch-lady grins and chugs up her beer, laughing right after that.

Ranpo on the other hand, drank the beer calmly and finished it all, sticking his tongue in disgust right after.

Denji: *whispers to Himeno* So, about the kis-

Makima: What kiss?

Denji: Nothing!

Himeno: Aww, you don't want the kiss~?

Denji: I do!

Aki excuses himself and stands up, offering Makima a seat beside him.

It's been a while now, and Makima has been competing with Ranpo on who can take the most beer! At the moment, Makima is on 12 while Ranpo is on 16.

Ranpo: This tastes disgusting!

Makima: *GigGlEs* We can stop if you want, you know? You've already won.

Suddenly, Ranpo began laughing and smashing the table multiple times.

Denji: Uh oh, I think he's in his Himeno phase.

The owner came up to the group and suggested that they did Karaoke there.

Ranpo was singing Kick Back!

"Doryoku Mirai a beautiful star! Randorii kyou wa garaaki de lucky day...Kataari abura yogore mo kore de, "Bye bye"!"

(Be proud of this author for memorizing the whole song without understanding whatever the hell all the words meant.)

Everyone was clapping in amazement, not knowing that he could sing.

Arai: He's smart, he can sing, he can fight, he can solve, he looks perfect, he's literally perfect!

Denji: Dude, he's drunk.

Aki's eyes followed the way Ranpo was moving as he sang throughout the whole song. Ranpo didn't look like he could stand still for a minute without wobbling around.

Himeno giggles and raises her beer, letting out a loud, "Cheers!" As she bumps her cup with the air.

Timeskip

Everyone was outside.

Makima: Oo... Where's Denji-kun?

Aki: Hm, seems to me that Denji, Himeno and Ranpo are gone.

They look at the crowd to see Himeno carrying Denji, but no Ranpo was seen.

Makima: ...I need to go. See you all tomorrow.
