It's another day. Why am I still here? Okay, just kidding, I've always wanted to say that. Anyways. Today I'm actually working solo this time. Makima assigned me a mission, so here I am.

For my cute little underling's whereabouts, I gave Yoimiya the day off. Reason being since she's always running around the place for me. I think she went to the more rural areas to go play with some kids or whatnot. Funny enough, she's great with them considering her... interesting past. Her upcoming wasn't quite a good background...

Well, besides that, I'm currently taking a stroll- eyes peeled looking for a devil categorized as a leech. Not sure why, but I think my sister loves giving me the easiest missions. Or maybe I'm too strong? She could just send Aki, Himeno or whoever else from that little troupe of his, but she insisted on me for some reason. Whatever, though it's a pain- being the egotistical person I am it's an easy feat for me.

Ah. You know what? I feel quite hungry if you ask me.

I'll tell you now, all that walking has turned out to yield nothing but a thirst for something good to eat. Should be fine, I can't find this damn devil nearby anyways.

I spot a ramen stand, so that's where I walk to next.

"Hey, can I get a Chicken Donburi?" I asked the owner. He simply nodded without speaking, and he got to work. I hope he isn't offended by me ordering chicken at a ramen stall; I don't really eat ramen.

I observe my surroundings for a moment, and I see a strange figure spiraling in the sky. What is that? Oh well, I concluded that it's not my problem.

"Sir." The cook called out to me.

I turn around and the owner hands me my food. I bowed in appreciation and I dug in. Mmm. That's great. It's so good that I get the strange feeling that things will work out well today.

After downing my bowl of food, I lingered at the stall for a little longer. The chef was reading the newspaper, as he didn't need to cook since I was the only customer.

Observing it, I noticed a headline concerning guns and safety. Hoo boy, he must be at a newfound strength with all this fear at a new high...

Well, as long as he doesn't mess with me-

The gun devil...

After finishing my thoughts, I pay the owner plus a tip for his food. He thanked me and I head back to stroll the streets. After quite awhile, people started to crowd up, and all of the sudden I was slippering in between civilians to get past them.

Wow, there's a fair amount of people here. Is today a holiday or something?

I decide to take a break, there's no hope in finding this devil.. Damn leech. I lean against the wall, and look onto the world.

Hm, you know what? While I peoplewatch; I should think about who I need in my life. Himeno is by far my favorite and I don't think that will change, but in my nature I want more women! Kobeni.... Is like a cat... and Yoimiya.... feels too much like a daughter to me. How did that happen? Not so sure. Ah! I have a solution, but I'm going need my favorite child's assistance. Time to text Aki real quick!

YOMU: HEY, PRETTY BOY.

AKI: WHAT.

YOMU: THERE'S A LEECH DEVIL SOMEWHERE IN MY AREA.

AKI: OKAY, AND?

Hah.... My son is so ungrateful....

YOMU: TAKE CARE OF IT PLEASE.

AKI: I JUST FINISHED MY QUOTA.

YOMU: COME ON.... I'LL GIVE YOU A BONUS.... I KNOW DENJI'S LIVING EXPENSES ARE COSTING QUITE A LOT.
