"Talk"

"Here's the room of your new contract."

In some unknown dark locations, which appear to be some kind of hidden area, almost giving a prison vibe, which technically was, though these solitary confinements didn't hold humans, no, they held Devils, and it seems that Aki Hayakawa, being led by two Devil Hunters, was about to meet one of these contained Devils.

"The Future Devil, correct?"

Aki looks at his fellow Devil Hunters, making sure he was at the right place.

"The one and only."

The Devil Hunters nod, though instead of their answers reassuring Hayakawa, he couldn't help but frown deeply instead.

"... Remind me, why did the Future Devil want me specifically?"

Aki was beyond suspicious to meet a Devil who requested to meet him personally.

"I have no idea, when I asked why, they just kept replying with, "Mirai Saiko", pretty annoying to be honest."

The Devil Hunters sighs with an exhausted and annoyed expression.

"I see..."

Seeing that Aki wasn't gonna get anything from asking his fellow Hunters, he might as well just ask and deal with the Devil himself.

"Are you sure you want to make a deal with this specific Devil? We could always find another one, safer to use and less threatening."

The Devil Hunters, while they were the one who brought Topknot to this area, they still expressed concerns and offered another alternative, which did make him think for a moment.

"... Open it."

However, in the end, Aki made up his mind and was ready to see what would happen next. The Devil Hunters could only sigh in response, before unlocking the door and letting him in. He just walked into the room, unsure but confident about what might happen next.

"Future Devil, I came as you requested."

Once Aki was inside and stood near the center of the room, he called out for the Devil who wanted to see him. It only took a few moments of silence before the Devil revealed himself, hopping out of the dark side of the room and standing before the Devil Hunter.

"About God damn time, I've been waiting forever for you to finally show up~"

This monstrous looking tree thing was the Future Devil, and he seemed very excited to have finally met the man he had requested.

"Just tell me what you want from me."

Aki crossed his arms, not looking impressed at all and seemed to want to get things over with already.

"Heh, aren't you eager? Well, so am I, you have no idea how long I wanted to work with you~"

The Future Devil chuckles, equally eager to be working with Hayakawa.

"But before I do, I wish to reveal some spoilers to you, I think you might find them interesting~"

Though before a deal can be made, the Future Devil wanted to have a chance to talk with Topknot first, clearly having a lot to say to the man.

"Spoilers?"

This of course made Aki raise an eyebrow. Obviously, he didn't trust this Devilish Tree, especially since it was the tree who wanted to meet with him. However, seeing as it was a creature who could apparently see the future, it was hard to ignore that fact. So, he had no choice but to listen, not like he was given an option either way.
