The mansion was big and lustrous, at the front was a long, dragon-like tail. Hiwatari followed the short-ish path and realized it led to a woman with red hair.

"Who are you?" The girl turns around and sees Hiwatari.

"Hiwatari... I guess I live here now... "

A green-haired zombie in a long coat walked towards the group. "Ah! So I see Kaorin's whole scouting thing actually worked this time. "

"Pekona moved in like, 2 years ago. " The dragon replied

"Oh did she? I apologize. "

"Expeted from a zombie. "

Kaori shouts so most of the mansion could hear her. She's an oni, so he has pretty good volume control. "ALRIGHT! NOW INTRODUCE YOUR NAMES AND SHIT TO THIS NEWCOMER! "

"Ah! Well... "

"Newcomer? " Said by a fox youkai with dirty-blonde hair

"This has to be enjoyable! " Said by a girl with purple hair.

"Again? This isn't a gacha game, Kaori... " Said my a very small blonde girl.

"Okay, so everyone, state your names; she already knows mine. "

The dragon looks at Hiwatari. "Alright, I'm Nao Furé. What's that look for? Have you heard of me before? "

Hiwatari's eyes widen. It's THE Nao Furé, the former second world leader before the Mikage family took over.

"Why are you surprised? You're like the Genghis Khan of the second world, minus the sex. " The zombie scolds.

"Bah! Just tell her your name already."

"Alright, Yumeko Shanghai it is... I think... Was it Yumemi? "

"You told us Yumeko when we met so I assume so. " Kaori replied.

"Okay, okay, just making sure."

"Everyone else, go on now. "

"Is everyone really here? "

"Well, we can get almost everyone if I... "

Kaori walked over to a gong nearby the front door and hit it with her bare fists. This gets the attention of the household and many new faces come down stars at different speeds.

"We have a newcomer, meed Hiwatari, now, introduce yallselves! "

A timid-looking werewolf girl came closer to the people near the door, looking tense. "I'm Shimu Inuzumi.. "

"Hey."

Another girl comes in the area. She was dressed in a more grunge attire. "Heyhey! Did y'all say we have a newbie? "

"Yes, are you deaf from blasting that weirdo music into your eardrums? " Nao answers.

"First of all, I'm not sure if shinigami can even get... Death..."

Nao facepalms.

"Second of all, My Scientific Relationship isn't weirdo music, dummy! "

'Did she say... She's a shinigami?' Hiwatari thought.

"Well you are pretty dumb. "

"SHUT IT WILL YALL, WE NEED TO INTRODUCE OURSELVES TO HIWATARI! " Yumeko yelled, getting frustrated.

"Geez, fine, I'm Nene Katsuragi. "

"So... You're a shinigami?" Hiwatari asked.

"Yep! But my body count hasn't went up one since I moved in...well...at least not in the death sense! "

"What the fuck? "

"Oh! As in the babymaking stuff! " Said a young, one-tailed kitsune.

"HOW DO YOU KNOW THAT? YOU LOOK 6! "

"Do you think we don't have access the discovery channel? "

"I guess so, anyway what's your name? "

She poses, "Nakano Yorisuki"

"I see... "

An elf with blonde hair walks towards Hiwatari. She waves at them.

The elf was dressed rather femininely, yet spoke with a deeper, manly voices.
"So I take it you're Hiwatari? Name's Eve. "

"Ah— you're a guy? Or a girl? "

"I'm a dude, I'm wearing this because Nao over here isn't too fond of men wearing things like this, for some reason. "

"Something something about a river in Egypt. " Nao mumbles.

A robot maid walked closer to Hiwatari, with the purple haired girl from earlier and a devil-like girl with teal hair following her.

"What are your names? "

"Ah, I'm Ibiki, I used to be a maid here, but these days the only maid duty I wind up doing is cooking. "

"Haply next time, don't beest so useful. "

"So who are those two? "

"The angel is Celeste, the Devil is Kuma. "

"Wow those are incredibly unoriginal names, considering you're a devil and a celestial! " Nao adds

"Would thee rather us beest named something like esophagus?" Celeste replies

"No, no. "

"Well, Kuma ain't really my real name, I used it so I can get out of hell easier. "

"What's your real name then? "

"I can't tell y'all. "

"You seem a little nicer than the celestial over there. "

"Species can be deceiving, I guess. "

"Is there anyone else? "

"Here! " a soft voice yells, holding up that really small girl from earlier.

"So who are you two? "

"My name is Pekona, and she's Scarlet. "

"Put me down already will you! "

"I'm sorry! " she quickly puts Scarlet down.

"Why is she so small anyway? " Hiwatari questions.

"I'm a doll, I guess. " Scarlet says, avoiding making eye contact.

"Ah! But you're sentient! Magic from the second world surely does prosper here. "

"What the fuck is the second world? " Yumeko asks.

"We're not going over this again. " Nao states angrily.

"Well aren't we all from the second world? "

"Not particularly, Yumeko, Celeste, Kuma, and Ibiki are from this world, but Yumeko's basically still on the run due to identity theft crimes. "

"Oh yeah, dammit it was stupid of me to forget that. "

The main hall looks lively as everyone was brought together and socialising.

Kaori speaks, "What if we had a welcome party to welcome Hiwatari? "

They all look at Kaori.
