A Violet Flame

Episode 35

When Emi finally drew her eyes away from her hands in her lap and to Yukio, she questioned how Sadao could be related to someone who was so calm and mature.

She hadn't noticed how much time had past by until Yukio stood up and commented, "I should go now, it's getting pretty late. Do you want me to escort you?"

"Ah, n-no! It's fine!" Emi said, standing up abruptly and bumping into the table with her leg.

"Are you okay?"

"Yeah! Yeah, I'm fine."

Emi winced and rubbed her injured leg for a moment as she tried to quickly get to the door.

"So um...see you tomorrow," she said.

"Tomorrow is Saturday."

"Yeah, your right! Um...later I guess?"

Emi hated how flustered she was acting and wanted to leave as quickly as possible. When she turned and reached for the door, the door was opened before she could react, much like earlier with Yukio. Only this time, she was face to face with the man she hated the most.

"Satan?!" Emi shouted, confusion etched on her face.

She had been sure he had been in the kitchen but there he was directly in front of her wearing a stupid grin on his face.

"Oh, hiya," he said, that stupid grin of his causing Emi to be filled with rage.

"You bastard! How did you sneak off?! And who was that guy posing as you?! I knew something was off!" She shouted, roughly grabbing him by the front of his shirt.

To her annoyance he seemed to not register her anger and merely turned his attention to Yukio.

"Hello Yukio! Did you miss your papa?"

"Hey! Answer me!" Emi shouted, shaking him.

Sadao giggled and made Emi even more angry. Before she could respond however, there was a sudden bang!

Debris was thrown everywhere and she had to let go of him to step back and stare at the area where the door had been.

Screaming and mad chaos erupted inside of McRonald as customers and workers alike scrambled to take cover.

In the doorway stood Lucifer, and Emi opened her mouth to shout at him only to close it when she caught sight of his gaze.

Utter fury was etched on Lucifer's face as he stepped inside.

"It was you," he growled, "I'll kill you!"
