The twins and Asumi began to "play" their game of hide and seek in search of the missing chihuahua.

Belphegor decided that he would be the one counting while Asumi and Beel looked through the rooms for a good hiding spot. Beelzebub and Asumi began to search the most common spaces around the House of Lamentation. However, Luke wasn't to be found anywhere. By the time the three searched the whole house, including every little tiny spot that Luke could probably fit in, it was already past noon.

Belphegor had no luck either in search of Luke. The three of them met up back in the twins' room, all exhausted and tired out from searching.

"Any luck, you two?" Belphegor huffed. "No, nothing at all," Beelzebub shook his head. "Ughh... I take back that thinking it was going to be easy looking after Luke," Asumi groaned. "Where else have we not looked? We probably could have passed his hiding spot and lost him!" Belphegor screamed.

The auburn-haired human sighed. "I think I need a break. Wanna head out for lunch?"

"Now? Are you crazy, Asumi?" Belphegor deadpanned with his mouth half-open. "Oh, Hell's Kitchen?" Beelzebub gasped. "I was hoping to go to Madam Scream's, but after what Belphie said, I think I'll make some homemade food today," Asumi chuckled, "how does... shadow cream stew sound?"

"Let's try not to attract rats," Belphegor yawned.

The three of them began to head towards the entrance hall to grab some rat repellent just in case when they suddenly bumped into a certain blonde-haired Avatar of Wrath leaning against the wall with a smirk on his face.

"Rat repellent? Is that what you were searching for?" he said. "Searching? Searching for what?" Belphegor flinched. "Haha! You can't play dumb with me, you guys. I already know," Satan laughed, "might as well go and tell Lucifer about it."

"You're searching for that chihuahua."

"What makes you think that?" Asumi frowned. "Just like Lucifer, I know a lot of things that go around in the House of Lamentation, Asumi," Satan replied. "Your opinion is irrelevant. Now if you'll excuse us, we were just about to head out for lunch," Asumi rolled her eyes and began to walk off.

"Oh well, I guess I'll be telling Lucifer about your loose dog!" Satan called. "Go ahead, Satan. I can deal with your father any day of the week!" Asumi snickered.

Satan gasped. "What did you just say?!" he screamed as Asumi laughed mixed with a couple of her squeals with Beelzebub and Belphegor in tow.

As soon as the three of them arrived by the entrance hall, the twins look at Asumi in shock. "Asumi, do you have any idea what you just did?" Beelzebub said. "Don't worry about it, Beel. I've got tough skin for people like Satan," Asumi shook her head. "He's definitely going to kill you..." Belphegor sighed.

"Oh, come on! You have to admit, his reaction was priceless!" Asumi laughed as she fixed her beret. Belphegor held back a chuckle. "Y-yeah, I admit that...!" he nodded. Just then, Asumi accidentally smacked her elbow into the wall behind her, however, something wasn't right.

Asumi hissed at the sudden impact of her elbow. "Woah! Are you okay?" Beelzebub gasped. "I'm fine, but did you hear that?" Asumi nodded. "Hear what?" Beelzebub asked. "I heard it too. Could you knock on that wall again?" Belphegor replied.

Asumi obeyed and lightly knocked her fist on the wall. A hollow sound bounced back as a result. "Wait... is that wall hollow?" Beelzebub raised an eyebrow. "It... sounds like there's something behind here, but I don't know what," Asumi said, pressing her ear against the wall. "It's possibly a room, but I don't see any form of a doorknob or a door's edges."
