[Name] walked around the headquarters with chuuya.

'This is not good... This is definitely not good!' they thought. 'Why did I even accept the deal in the first place?!'

"So, uhm, your boss is Mori, right?" they spoke up randomly while approaching an elevator.

"He is." Chuuya looked at them. "And he is the one who wrote the letter to you."

"Oh..."

Both of them got into the elevator. Chuuya pressed some buttons, and after a Beep! sound was let out by the machine, the man stood beside [Name], waiting to arrive on the wanted floor. The kid stared at the door infront of them. 'Even if he wants to harm me... he can't, right? I mean, I can dial anyone from the agency any minute... I just have to gain some time for them to arrive.' they slightly patted their pocket to make sure if their phone is still there. It was. 'Mori knows Fukuzawa, right? I remember something like that... Maybe I can still decline the offer when I meet him. Yeah, there is a chance I can. I can make it seem like a misunderstanding...'

"....are you even listening?"

"What...? I'm sorry, I wasn't paying attention." [Name] answered, their voice trembling a bit.

"I asked if you are nervous." Chuuya repeated while glancing at them. "You seem stressed."

"Yeah, of course not. It's not like I am about to meet the mafia boss to make a deal him, which is equally as bad as selling my soul to the devil himself." the kid answered. Their voice turned more desperate and honest by the next sentence. "Yes. And scared too."

"Well," he sighed. "atleast you admit it."

[Name] leaned against the wall.

"How tall is this fucking building?"

"We're almost there."

"You didn't quite answer to my question, but I'll take it."

The elevator went on for a couple more seconds, it slightly shook, then completely stopped. Chuuya and [Name] stepped out of it. The man turned right, and by the fear of being left behind, the kid followed him.

>><<

Chuuya stopped by some large doors and [Name] stood behind him. Just as he was about to open the entrance, the kid spoke up:

"Any advice on how to not get my head bit off in the very first five seconds?"

The man turned back.

"Two tips; seem confident and think before you speak."

"Yeah, because acting confident when you are meeting the devil is a common thing to do..." they murmured

Chuuya pat their shoulders as a sign of encouragement, then opened the doors.

'Stay calm, stay collected and confident... Holy shit why is this room so bright-'

As soon as [Name] could look inside Mori's office, due to the height and the width of the huge windows, the sun at noon was a lot brighter than usual. The tinted glasses coloured the light to various shades, giving the office a beautiful look. 

In the middle of the room he sat. The person who sent the letter and the person who is going to use [Name]. Mori Ougai, the devil in their eyes.

Next to the man, a small girl was lying on the ground. She held a green crayon in her hand while 'decorating' the tiles with different drawings.

Mori looked at his subordinate and [Name].

Chuuya stepped out and got on one knee.

"I brought them, as you asked, boss."
