"WAIT, ARE YOU SERIOUS?!"

"Shush!" Rui frowns.

If Rui is here, then that could mean the whole fucking demon fuck-fest are here too?!

Is the fucking hand demon who killed Urokodaki's students in the Final Selection here too? The demon from Tanjiro's first mission? The two demons from Tamayo's house?? Are the demons from the mansion you first met Inosuke here too? Rui's fucked up spider family?? Is Enmu, Lower Moon One, here?

Is that bitch demon who killed Akira here? The demon who almost killed you on your joint mission with Giyuu?? The bastard demon who killed Gerik?! What about [F/n]? Is he even dead?

Are Gyutarou and Daki here?? What about the men who participated in that pageant? And Naoki, the demon who ran it all, is he here?? What about the demon from your date with Giyuu?

And the demon who made Kyojuro attack and almost kill you?

And Akaza...

Is he here?

You slam your head on the table, a whimper escaping your lips.

"Rui...What do I do-"

"-Are you alright, [L/n]?"

You sit up straight when a hand drops itself on your shoulder.

"Satan! Yeah, I'm fine. I-I'm just—we're just-"

"-This Little D isn't bothering you, is he?" Satan narrows his eyes at a nervous Rui.

You wear a face of confusion, "Little D? He's-Wait, no. No, he's not. We're just talking, dude."

"[L/n], was it?" Rui stands up from the chair, "Do you perhaps have a device called a D.D.D?"

"Yeah, why?" You smack your own forehead, "Duh, hold on."

Satan watches you two exchange numbers on torn papers from your notebook. Rui bows and returns to his desk way in the back.

"What was that all about?" Satan asks, sitting in the chair Rui pulled out.

"I'm just making friends," You reply, looking down at your worksheet and feeling the blood drain from your face, "Why did you call him Little D? Is it his nickname or something?"

"Little Demons," Satan clarifies, "Most of them were horrible humans who've died in tragic ways, or given deaths that are fitting to their sins. They don't really have physical bodies; they're just souls. Do you see that top hat on his table?"

You look back at Rui to see what the blonde was talking about. Indeed there was a black top hat with an orange ribbon tied around it.

"Yeah, it's super cute." You look back to Satan.

"That color of the ribbon on his hat attributes the sin most committed when he was alive."

Ah. You think you know what sin connects to Rui, but you need to ask so Satan isn't suspicious.

"What's orange?" You ask.

"Orange is envy."

You were right then; 1,000,000 points for you.

"Most of the horrible humans who die and end up here realize the errors of their ways. Becoming Little D's is a way for their souls to repent; they serve the demons here of higher status." Satan explains, "Even Little D's have their own statuses. Those who have a more polished soul than others, have more privileges as demons. That one, for example-"
