The hotel was about as gaudy as Asmodeus's brothel except without the sin of lust tainting the entire place from head to toe. Kokichi hated it as he hated everything about this stupid dirt planet. The room they got only had one bed, since it was all the hotel had left.

"Hey don't look at me like that. I didn't plan this." Rantaro sighed as Kokichi gave him a death glare that just screamed 'this is my bed you better sleep on the floor or I will strangle you.'

Kokichi submitted for now he had too many things on his mind to bother fighting with the ex fleshy at the moment, "I'm even banned from the dream world?!? But... why?!? Why!!! This is so unfair!" Kokichi thinks looking at his nails in pain.

"So just how many souls do we have to collect?" Rantaro plopped on the bed earning a low snarl from Kokichi, but he ignored it.

"18 left. We caught a good majority of them no thanks to you." Kokichi sighed.

"Yeah yeah. So I'm still trying to wrap my head around our existence... I don't eat food.... so what can I eat or rather supposed to eat?" Rantaro asked.

"I don't know. Mom makes tea and both dad and Michael can drink it. Dad can also have sweets and so can I. Human candy gets a pass from me... oh and soda!" Kokichi explains.

"So sugar and carbonated drinks is fine along with tea... interesting." Rantaro listens carefully, "So cookies?" He asked.

"Yup." Kokichi nodded.

"Mochi?" Rantaro asked.

"Uh... remind me what that is. I'm not familiar the term." Kokichi frowned.

"Japanese ice cream basically." Rantaro sighed.

"Ice cream is safe!" Kokichi nodded.

We can't live on sweets along though." Rantaro sighed.

"I don't know about angels, but I'm kinda of hybrid since my dad is a fallen angel. So whatever I can eat should in theory be safe for you. So any kind of meat is good." Kokichi explains.

"Okay. I see." Rantaro nodded, "That's right... your technically an angel yourself and you hate angels?" Rantaro asked.

"My dad literally betrayed god and the angels and became ruler of hell. And I don't hate angels. I can tolerate them cause dad can. They are more annoying than anything else. As we have to obey their laws or die. Infernal are just prisoners and the angels are the wardens. So we don't think anything of them. We coexist together, work together, to try and make our lives easier on us." Kokichi sighed.

"An eternal sentence you can never escape." Rantaro sighed looking at Kokichi a bit sadly, "One that you were born in and had no choice to accept..." he actually starting to feel bad for the devil prince.

"Don't get the wrong idea. I love my home. It's way better than this nasty dirt planet and who needs heaven and their dumb laws. We are free in hell! Free to live how as we please within limits set by the angels of course, but still we get a lot of freedom since we work with them to control the life and death cycle of mortals." Kokichi explains.

"Huh?" Rantaro was surprised by that last part.

"Why do you think I was in limbo with angels anyways when you died?!? We have to help judge folk and send them to their right places. We might occasionally steal a soul or two for ourselves, but if the angels really cared they'd stop us." Kokichi explains calmly.

"Wait.... so... they don't care?" Rantaro felt sick to his stomach and was starting to think that angels aren't so great either.

"They know me. They aren't going to tell me no." Kokichi waves at Rantaro  as Kokichi sat on the bed only to see Rantaro lay on the bed with him, "Do you always wear shoes to bed?" Kokichi asked taking his shoes and socks off.
