Simeon: *smiles affectionately* Oh, if it isn’t Chise. Do you have some business at Purgatory Hall?
I’m delivering something.
Simeon: *steps closer with a kindly nod* I see. I bet Lucifer asked you to. *laughs sweetly, eyes crinkling* Thanks for going out of your way.
–
2. You could say that.
Simeon: *steps closer* What have you got there? *nods* Ah, it must be the package that Lucifer mentioned. Thank you.
–
Simeon: Still, your timing is perfect. Now you’re here, I should invite you as well.
Invite me to what?
Simeon: *touches back of neck, inclining head with a shyer smile* We’re going to have a picnic in the nearby forest. *expression grows hopeful* You’re welcome to join us.
–
2. What’s going on?
Simeon: *touches back of neck, smiling kindly, a bit shyer* We’re about to have a picnic in the nearby forest. *expression grows hopeful* Would you like to come?
–
*Luke and Solomon approach*
Luke: *smiles in greeting* Oh! Chise! What are you doing here?
Simeon: Delivering a package, it seems. But given the timing, I thought Chise could join us for the picnic.
Luke: *bounces happily* Yes, having Chise along will make it more fun! And I’ve made enough sweets for everyone!
Solomon: *smiles with a noise of enthusiasm* What do you say, Chise? If you’re not in a hurry, would you care to join us?
––––––––
Angeluke: Today's sweet are the be...
––––––––
*along the forest path near RAD*
Luke: *hums musically, happy* We should lay out the blanket over here.
Simeon: *nods kindly* There’s a nice breeze as well, so this spot should be comfortable.
Solomon: *smiles cheerfully* I’ll set up the table.
Do you guys come here often?
You seem used to this.
Simeon: Well, this is our first time coming to the forest, but we often have tea parties in the courtyard at Purgatory Hall. I suppose we are sort of used to it.
Luke: *shakes head with a worried little noise* I wasn’t wild about the idea of going to a forest in the Devildom! But Simeon seemed keen, so I did my best with the preparations.
Simeon: *chuckles lightly, smiling wide* Thank you, Luke. *nods reassuringly* With everyone here, I don’t think there’s anything to be afraid of.
Luke: *pouts with a blush, shaking head in protest* I am not afraid!
Simeon: *moves closer with a fond smile* Chise, you can sit over here. I’ll pour you some hot tea.
Luke: *grins, nodding* These macarons are a new recipe! Give them a try, Chise!
Solomon: *cheerfully* I’m going for a little walk in the forest.
Luke: *aghast* What?! Isn’t that dangerous?!
Solomon: *nods, smiling enthusiastically* Well, we’ve come all this way... and I’m sure I can handle anything out there.
Simeon: *kindly* You can also do whatever you like, Chise. It’s not like we’ve got any plans or anything, so feel free to pass the time as you please.
Luke: *noise of nervousness, though expression remains determined* I’m staying here, though!
Simeon: *nod* I think I’ll read a little.
You really like reading, don’t you?
Simeon: *giggles softly, delighted amusement* Yes, I do. And I’d like to finish this book while I’m in the Devildom.
–
2. What are you reading?
Simeon: *hums* It’s a book on rare creatures in the Devildom. *eye-crinkling smile* There are so many fascinating breeds that we don’t see in the Celestial Realm.
–
Simeon: Speaking of which, I read something interesting... Apparently, there are caves deep in this forest that are home to dangerous creatures.
Luke: *jumps with a wide-eyed eep* What?! I thought you said this place wasn’t dangerous?!
Simeon: *smiles reassuringly* As long as we don’t disturb the wildlife, we should be fine!
Luke: *taken aback* What...? …*blushes deeply* I-I’m not scared either! Of course not!
–
2. I’m already used to it.
Luke: *wide-eyed peep* “Used to it”?! *scowls* It’s because of all those horrible demons, isn’t it? They must be scaring you on a daily basis!
–
*camera shake, whooshing noises*
Luke: Eek! *shoulders slump, nervous* ...M-More importantly...! This is a picnic! Let’s get out the sandwiches!
––––––––
Stn: Good thing Luke wasn't eaten...
––––––––
Luke: *whimpers fearfully* I’ve been looking forward to the sandwiches! That’s right! Solomon isn’t here, but we’ll just have to go ahead and eat them without him!
Simeon: *smiles kindly* Are you so scared that you’re trying to distract yourself with food?
Luke: *blushes deeply, petulant* I’m not scared! I’m a proud angel! There’s no way I’ll lose to some forest demons!
Simeon: *chuckles sweetly, eyes crinkling* Hehe. I see. Well, in that case, I’ll have a sandwich too.
Me too!
Simeon: *smiles appreciatively* They look delicious, don’t they? *meets gaze, kindly* Which one would you like, Chise?
–
2. What were you saying about rare creatures?
Luke: *whimpers, shaking head with a pout* N-Never mind about that stuff! *smiles bravely* Right! Chise, have a sandwich.
–
Luke: Let’s ea—
*WHOOSH! Camera shake! Rustling noises!*
Luke: *horrified, wide-eyed terror* AAAAAARGH!
*magical crackling noises*
*flash of white*
Solomon: *rushes in quickly, expression of intense concern* Luke! Are you alright?!
Luke: *whimpers fearfully, wide-eyed* What was that?! It was absolutely HUGE!
Solomon: *relaxes, smiles reassuringly* Don’t worry, I drove it off with magic.
Are you hurt?!
Luke: *wide-eyed* No, I just got a fright!
–
2. What was that thing?!
Simeon: *smiles* Didn’t you see?
–
Simeon: *hums thoughtfully* I’ve never seen a crow that large before. I wonder if it’s mentioned in this book about rare creatures...
*page flip*
Luke: *scolding* Simeon! Don’t just casually open your book again!
You’re pretty calm about this.
Simeon: *relaxed, kindly reassurance* Well, it was only a large crow. There’s no reason to fret.
–
2. Weren’t you scared, Simeon?
Simeon: *smiles, rubs back of neck* Well, I don’t think it was trying to hurt us. It was probably just hungry. After all, I didn’t sense any animosity from it.
–
Simeon: *eyes crinkle happily* Anyway, Solomon’s back, so why don’t we dig into the food?
I agree!
Luke: *whimpers fearfully* B-But what if another crow comes along...?
Simeon: *giggles teasingly* Then you can throw it a sandwich.
–
2. What if it comes back?
Simeon: *laughs sweetly with a nod, holding eye contact with reassurance* If anything happens, I’ll protect you and Luke. *eyes crinkle* Does that reassure you?
Luke: *hums nervously* Well, I suppose. And I’m hungry after all that excitement.
–
Solomon: *perks up with a smile* Ah, sandwiches! You’ve come well prepared, Luke.
Luke: *laughs, bounces on heels happily* Of course! It’s a picnic, after all!
Simeon: *giggle-laughs in affectionate delight, smiling wide* Hehe. I’m glad you’ve cheered up. Come on, let’s get back to the tea party.
––––––––
Text chat: Requests for the Next Picnic (from The Angels(3))
––––––––
Simeon: I’m so glad you could join our picnic today, Chise.
Simeon: Did you get home safely?
Yes! I’m home!
Simeon: That’s good.
–
2. I’m exhausted.
Simeon: Well, it was a long trek to the forest.
Simeon: Why don’t you relax for the rest of the day?
–
Luke: 😰
Luke: That was terrifying!
Simeon: Well, it’s unfortunate that one of your sandwiches was stolen by a crow.
Simeon: But that just goes to show how good your cooking is, Luke!
Luke: Do you really think crows can appreciate the taste?
Simeon: I’m sure they can.
Simeon: Would you like to accompany us again some time?
I’d love to!
Simeon: I’m glad to hear that.
–
2. I dunno...
Simeon: If you’re torn, then just come along anyway.
Simeon: I’m sure you’ll have fun.
–
Luke: Picnics are all good and well…
Luke: …but I’d like to put in a request for no crows next time!
Luke: 😠
Simeon: 👍
Simeon: You can also let us know if you have any requests, Chise.
Simeon: I’m sure we’ll have even more fun next time.
My Secret Valentine ♡ – Levi
No Chocolate for Beel – Beel
Heart-Warming✩Valentine – Barb/Dia
––––––––––––––––
ButlerBarb: A surprising entrant.
––––––––––––––––
*RAD student council room*
Satan: *smiles warmly* Chise, there’s a new notice regarding the RAD Valentine’s Day art contest. Every student at RAD participated. You turned in something too, didn’t you? It seems the results for the semi-final round just came out. Let’s go take a look.
*pauses to check results*
Satan: *touches chin with a hum of thought* Those moving on to the final round of the contest are Mammon, Luke...and myself. I was almost certain that you would make it to the finals.
Luke: *hums with a look of doubt* It’s not surprising that Satan made it to the finals, but what the heck is Mammon’s name doing up there?
Mammon: *brow furrows, expression one of either hurt or impatient “isn’t-it-obvious” exasperation* This is a battle of designin’ the best chocolate. I’m shocked that they haven’t handed me the trophy yet! *smirks* Have you all forgotten that I built my own brand?
Luke: Diable Laurent, we know. The one you sold the rights to after being blinded by the short-term profit of selling right away.
Mammon: *shakes head with a scowl* Who the hell told ya that, huh?! *quickly covers his renewed smirk, chortling rudely* After seein’ who my competition is, I’ve got nothin’ to worry about.
You’re really confident, huh?
Mammon: *smiles brightly* Of course I am! Once I win this thing and prove my sense of style is unrivalled, I’ll be signin’ deals left and right! *bursts into excited, cheerful laughter, happy sparkles* My next brand is gonna make me millions!
Satan: *heaves a sigh of exasperation, shaking head* Don’t count your bufo toads before they hatch.
–
2. What kind of design piece did you submit?
Mammon: Ya saw it as I was puttin’ on the finishing touches, right? I designed a chocolate bar with a sea of money trees pattern on it painted with gold leaf. *shakes head with a genuine smile* I’m not surprised it got high marks in the contest. A design like mine brought out the natural beauty of pure gold.
Luke: *sighs* You need better hobbies.
Satan: From a colour standpoint, I’m sure it was very striking.
Mammon: *immediately returns to an offended scowl* Just you wait and see! I’m gonna—
–
Diavolo: *enters with a beaming smile* Greetings! Can I have your attention for a moment? The details regarding the rules for the final round of the RAD Valentine’s Day art contest have been revealed.
Diavolo: As a result of the last round, there are three contestants remaining. For the final round, the contestants must come up with a new design and create their designer chocolate for everyone to see.
Luke: *squeals happily, grinning* Bring it on!
Diavolo: As for the judging, I was supposed to fill the role of special judge this time. However, now that we have Luke, our angel exchange student, who has made it to the final round... *eyes crinkle with his cheerful chuckle* I believe it is only fair that I pass my duty as judge along to another exchange student, Chise, instead.
Mammon: *suddenly a bit reserved* Oh, seriously?
Satan: *smiles with a nod of approval* We all trust Chise to be a fair judge.
Diavolo: *friendly smile* I’m counting on you, Chise.
––––––––
Angeluke: How about some cat molds?
––––––––
*HOL hallway*
Levi: Oh, Chise. Are you heading to Satan’s room? I’d watch out if I were you. *grimaces with a nervous hum* I thought I heard groaning coming from inside and something like a cat meowing, but I can’t be sure... What do you think he’s doing all holed up in there, huh?
Satan (off-screen, through his bedroom door): This is it... No, maybe... Wait, this looks better...
*knock, knock*
*door unlatches*
*enters Satan’s bedroom*
Satan: *raises brows with a noise of surprise* Chise? Has something happened? *nods head with a frown of concern* ...Wait, watch your step. *smiles excitedly* I’ve traced the different shapes of cats from all over the Devildom and laid them out on the floor. I got them all to cooperate by giving them their favourite treats.
There’s even less room to walk than before.
Satan: *hums apologetically, brows drawn together, troubled* Sorry. I started collecting them for my design piece, and before I realized it, they took over my room.
–
2. Shapes of cats…?
Satan: *nods solemnly, with extreme seriousness* When I asked myself what was the most artistic form, cats were the first thing that came to my mind. I ended up with more than I expected, but it’s all for my design piece for the contest.
–
Satan: *shakes head with a lost sadness that verges on an adorable, cat-loving pout* Now that I have them all, I’m having difficulty choosing which ones I should use. There’s just too many. *looks down at his extremely important life’s work, heaving out a sigh* What should I do...?
So this is what all the groaning was about...
Satan: *raises brows with a noise of confusion* “Groaning”...? What do you mean...? *grows serious again, deftly reprioritizing to the matter of grave importance* Never mind. Could I ask for your opinion instead? I want to use it for my design.
–
2. I’ll help you choose.
Satan: *smiles charmingly* That would help me out a lot. I won’t be able to make a decision by myself at this rate.
–
Satan: *bright, eager eye contact* First, let’s each choose which shapes we like the most. Then we can narrow those down together. *nods with a touch of his chin, pleased with himself* A battle of the cat shapes, if you will. *chuckles, eyes crinkling with happy fondness* With your help, I know we’ll choose the best of the best.
––––––––
DDSimeon: Mammon's in a tough place.
––––––––
*RAD student council room*
Diavolo: *chuckles happily, grinning with sheer delight* Our three contestants are burying themselves in research every day in preparation for the final round. It’s bound to be an exciting day. The judging is primarily done by the student body.
Diavolo: In the event that two or more pieces receive the same number of votes, the special judge steps in to decide the winner. You can feel free to enjoy the contest as you like.
Diavolo: *turns his attention with a frown* Hm? Is that Mammon I see over there? He seems to be surrounded by students...
*fade to RAD stairwell*
Mammon: 10 votes! The first student to bring me 10 votes gets this exclusive pic of Lucifer on his day off! *smirks mischievously behind his fingers* 50 votes for a shot of him waking up in the morning!
Diavolo: *wide-eyed shock* Oh dear...
He’s trying to buy everyone’s votes!
Diavolo: *expression falls into a look of disappointed hurt* …Mammon?
Mammon: *jumps in wide-eyed shock* Gagh! Lord Diavolo and Chise?!
Diavolo: *lifts eyes with a grimace, humming low in disapproval* I cannot overlook your attempts to undermine a fair contest... Care to explain yourself?
–
2. Is he selling photos of Lucifer?
Diavolo: *folds arms with a grim hum of disappointment* It appears that way. In exchange for votes, no less. I cannot overlook an attempt to buy his way to victory.
Diavolo: *lifts eyes with a grimace* Mammon, care to explain what you are doing over there?
Mammon: *jumps in wide-eyed shock* Urk! Th-This is...!
–
Mammon: *wide-eyed scrambling protest* It ain’t what it looks like! I haven’t been stealing shots of Lucifer, I swear! *grimaces guiltily* I was just...ya know...lettin’ them dream a little. Just to get them hooked!
Diavolo: *expression turns into a severe, disapproving frown* So you were scamming these students? You’re not making a very good case for yourself.
Mammon: *looks aside with a wince, hunching shoulders* Ngh...uh...
Diavolo: *sternly* You leave me no choice, Mammon. You are disqualified for attempting to undermine a fair contest by buying the votes of the students.
Mammon: *wide-eyed horror, immediate pleading* Come on, go easy on me, would ya?! I was just makin’ things interesting!
Diavolo: *shakes head firmly* No. I cannot overlook your behavior this time.
Mammon: *physically slumps in disappointment* But I made it all the way to the final round...
He’s been working really hard on his design piece.
Mammon: *eyes widen in shock* Chise...! *grimaces* You’ve been watchin’ me...? This means that you think I have a chance to win, right.
Mammon: *quickly switches to sincere and desperate begging, his image in MC’s eyes clearly on the line now* Please, Lord Diavolo! Chise’s counting on me to win! I don’t want to lose that because of a mistake like this! I won’t do it again!
–
2. He should have another chance.
Mammon: *shakes head, brows furrowed pleadingly* I’ve been workin’ my butt off creatin’ my design piece! I don’t want all my hard work to go to waste! I won’t break the rules again, I promise! Gimme another chance!
–
Diavolo: *pauses grimly, seemingly assessing Mammon through his truth-testing magic* …
Diavolo: *nods seriously* I can sense your words are true. All right...I shall give you one more chance. *shakes head* However, the other contestants may not agree with this. *meets eyes with a smile* I’ll ask Chise to keep a close eye on you until the day of the contest. Does that sound fair to you?
Mammon: *perks up with a bright, appreciative smile, happy sparkles* Sure, anything! Thanks, Lord Diavolo! *beams behind his fingers* With Chise watchin’ over me, now I’m really determined to win! I’m countin’ on ya, Chise!
––––––––
monSOLO: Who did everyone vote for?
––––––––
*RAD cafeteria*
Simeon: *smiles kindly, holding hand up for attention* It’s the day we’ve all been waiting for! The final round of the RAD Valentine’s Day art contest is here! *eyes crinkle sweetly* I, Simeon, along with Chise will be providing commentary for the event!
Mammon: *hands on hips with a confidence smile* I’m taking the beauty of a curvaceous coin edge to the extreme with an extravagant chocolate coin tower!
Satan: *smiles with smooth and casual confidence* By combining the cutest features of cats from around the Devildom, I’ve created a blueprint for the Ultra☆Perfect Cat. I’m going to create a cat so adorable the spectators will become intoxicated with its charm.
Luke: *frowning silently* …
Luke’s focus is concentrated on his work.
Simeon: *nods proudly* Making sweets has always been Luke’s favourite pastime. With his concentration and skill combined, he’ll be fierce competition for the other contestants.
–
2. Mammon and Satan are aggressive competitors.
Simeon: *nods genially* It will be interesting to see how their fighting spirits will affect the competition. Will defeating the other contestants lead the way to glory? Or will focusing on your own design pave the path to victory? Stay tuned, folks.
–
Satan: ...Hm? *brows draw together in sincere worry* The ears won’t stay on...
Luke: *nods seriously* You need to adjust the temperature of the chocolate, then cool it down quickly. Small parts need to be supported in place until they’ve solidified.
Satan: *smiles with an appreciative nod* You’re right. This will help them stay put. Thanks, Luke.
Mammon: *scowls in frustration* This chocolate ain’t meltin’ right! What’s wrong with it?
Luke: *sighs in light exasperation* You’re not paying attention to the temperature of your double boiler. *nods seriously* Use a thermometer and pay attention to the temperature this time. Like this...
Mammon: *breaks out into a grin* Thanks, Fido! You really know your stuff. The chocolate is the perfect texture now!
Simeon: *giggles with a thrilled, proud smile* ...Hehe, Luke seems to be helping out the competition. His kind-hearted nature shows itself even in competition.
*time skip*
Simeon: *holds hand up for attention again* The three contestants have finally finished their pieces!
Mammon: *smiles confidently* I present to you “The Great Mammon’s Shining Skyscraper of Chocolate”!
Satan: *smiles with a touch of his chin* I call this “Cats Rule the World”.
Luke: *beams proudly* Mine is called “The Celestial Flower Garden”!
*applause sounds out*
Simeon: The results are in—Amazing! It’s a three-way tie. *gasps* Which means, the winner of the art contest will be decided by our special judge!
Simeon: *smiles* Chise is our special judge for today’s contest. Chise, who will be the winner of RAD’s Valentine’s Day art contest?
Mammon!
*cheering, applause*
Mammon: *beams proudly* Yeah! I knew Chise would recognize the quality of my art! *hides sincerity behind his fingers, a little shyer* I was only able to make it this far because ya believed in me, Chise. This chocolate is for you!
Mammon: *bursts into cheerful laughter, grinning ear-to-ear* Next, I’m gonna open my very own sweet shop, spread a chain of them across the Devildom, and make millions!
End.
–
2. Satan!
*cheering, applause*
Satan: *dips head with a chuckle, eyes crinkling handsomely* I couldn’t let you down after you helped me. It seems my efforts paid off in the end. *meets eyes with a smile* Thank you for choosing me. With the help of my Ultra☆Perfect Cat design, the glory, adorableness, cleverness, and artistic beauty of cats will spread throughout the Devildom.
Satan: When the pieces are done being displayed, I want to give this chocolate cat to you. *smile broadens into an affection grin* Without you, I never would have been able to finish it.
End.
–
3. Luke!
*cheering, applause*
Luke: *nods, smiling sweetly* I made this piece while thinking about how much I would like to take Chise to a place like this. Although we can’t go visit a real chocolate flower garden, I’d be happy if we could eat it together. *beams proudly, happy sparkles* Thank you for choosing me, Chise!
End.

*RAD stairwell*
Thirteen: *giggles happily, bright and cheery* I’m looking forward to today’s lunch special, aren’t you? By the way, Chise. How are you planning on spending the rest of your break?
Chatting with you, Thirteen.
Thirteen: *eyes widen in surprise* Well, that’s news to me. *presses finger to cheek, smiling with interest* Still, that shouldn’t be a problem, since I didn’t have anything special planned.
–
2. I guess I’ll read.
Thirteen: *smiles* Suit yourself. You’ll have to tell me if it’s any good.
–
Thirteen: Why the sudden interest, you ask? *sighs with a little pout* Well, I’m just a little bored. *smiles hopefully, holding gaze with interest (maybe even… in a flirtatious way… 🤞)* So, I was wondering if you were maybe doing anything exciting, or—
(???) Get outta the waaay!
*runningfootstepsfootstepsfootsteps*
Mammon: *interrupts a potential turning-point moment by barging in with wide-eyed alarm* ...Hey, Chise! Great timing, ya gotta hide me from Lucifer!
Thirteen: *shakes head, frowning in disapproval* Did you anger him again?
Mammon: *flattens mouth with a frown* Yeah, he found out that I’d put one of his precious records up for auction.
Thirteen: *flat irritation* You never learn, do you?
*camera shake*
(???) Ack! Sorry for bumping into—
Luke: *jumps in surprise, wide-eyed* …Chise? *whimpers, eyes pleading desperately* You’ve got to hide me! Even just for a little!
Thirteen: Who are you running from, Luke?
Luke: *fearful dismay* Solomon. He’s been chasing me because he wants me to eat some dish he made.
Mammon: *grimaces* That’s...
Thirteen: *shakes head with a sigh* ...Unfortunate.
Thirteen: …*perks up with a giggle* Well, if the both of you are already playing a game of hide and seek, how would you like an advantage?
––––––––
Beelzeburger: Levi ran into trouble.
––––––––
Mammon: *frowns* Whaddya mean, “advantage”?
Thirteen: *straightens up, beaming proudly* I just so happen to have a few tricks up my sleeve that would probably be good in a game of hide and seek. And, I’d be willing to lend them to you.
Luke: Just what kind of tricks?
Thirteen: See for yourself.
Mammon: *perplexed, weirded out* A top hat and a black parasol? Ain’t these just some normal accessories?
Thirteen: *smiles sweetly* Mammon, you can take Mr. Magic Hat Number 4. Luke, I’ll lend you the Rain or Shine Parasol (Black Version).
Luke: *pitying grimace* I see you’re still sticking with the “fun” names, huh...
Mammon: *extreeeemely doubtful* Is this thing REALLY gonna get Lucifer off my back?
Have faith in Thirteen!
Thirteen: *smiles confidently* Look, just try it and see.
Luke: *whimpers, wide-eyed* And Solomon’s not too far behind! I’m gonna go hide somewhere else!
*Luke runs off*
Lucifer: *arms crossed, eyes narrowed, shaking head with a sigh of disappointment, the whole bit* ...Mammon, is this what you call hiding?
Mammon: *fearful outrage*Hey, what’s the big deal?! This hat ain’t doin’ anything!
Thirteen: *thoroughly exasperated* That’s because you’re supposed to put Mr. Magic Hat on HIS head!
Mammon: *fierce defiance* Fine, whatever! Take that, Lucifer!
*Lucifer continues to stand there with his arms crossed, wearing a pissy expression, unfazed*
…*at the same moment that Levi suddenly wanders innocently between them*
*CAMERA SHAKE!!!*
Mammon: *wide-eyed* Dammit, I’ve been played!
Levi: *screaming dramatically* Wh-Wh-What?! Why’d everything go pitch black?! I can’t see a thing!
Thirteen: *shakes head with a scowl* Geez! Mammon, why’d you go and waste that on Levi?
Lucifer: *expression softens, smiling lethally, enveloped in a dark and sinister aura* I see, it was a trap.
Mammon: *horrified* ...Crap, now he’s even more pissed!
––––––––
Belphie: A desperate sort of guy.
––––––––
*RAD classroom*
Luke: *jumps in alarm* Wha...Mammon?! What’re you doing here?
Mammon: *nods grimly* So this is where you’ve been hiding, Luke. Lemme join ya!
Luke: *bristles* No way! You’re just going to get me caught!
Mammon: *shrugs casually, shaking head* C’mon, don’t be like that. Aren’t we in the same boat?
Luke: *glares* You got yourself into your own mess! Don’t lump me in with you!
Solomon: *walks in with a sweet, friendly smile, waving his hand in greeting* So, this is where you are, Luke. It’s rare to see you together with Mammon.
Luke: *whimpers in horror* See! What did I just tell you? This is all your fault!
Mammon: Now’s the time to use THAT! Hurry up and pull out the thing we borrowed from Thirteen!
Luke: *nods nervously* O-Okay, geez! How are we supposed to use it, anyway?!
Mammon: It’s a parasol, so ya just gotta open it facin’ the other perso—
*POOF* *hissssss*
*cloud of white smoke fills the room*
Solomon: *startles, wide-eyed* Whoa! What’s with all this smoke?
Luke: *bounces excitedly* That was awesome, Mammon! You actually figured it out!
Mammon: *nods grimly* This ain’t the time to be impressed! Hurry up and run!
Thirteen: *bursts into the room, expression fierce* ...There they are! Quick, over here!
*running footsteps*
*fade to RAD courtyard*
Mammon: *sighs heavily, shoulders slumping* ...Phew, looks like we lost ’em both.
That was close, huh?
Luke: *huffs sadly* I thought we were goners...
–
2. We’re not out of the woods yet.
Thirteen: Right. The word “quit” isn’t exactly in either of their vocabularies.
Luke: *whimpers in fear* Wh-What should we do...?!
––––––––
LordDiavolo: Saved by the moonlight.
––––––––
Luke: *fearful* We’re trapped!
Mammon: Don’t ya have another trick up your sleeve, Thirteen?!
Thirteen: *frowns, shaking head quickly* Wait, if you raise your voice like that, you’ll—
Lucifer: *arms crossed, eyes narrowed* Found you, Mammon.
Solomon: *sweet, lovely smile of delight* You were playing hide and seek in a place like this, Luke?
Luke: *glares* Hey! Mammon, you got me caught again!
Solomon: *eyes crinkle happily* You still haven’t eaten lunch, right? Quit goofing off and come on out.
Luke: *looks down with a sob of defeat* Guess I’m gonna be stuck eating Solomon’s food...
Isn’t there something we can do?
Thirteen: *perks up, giggling* Hang on a sec. I have something that just might help.
–
2. Brace yourself!
Luke: I made it this far only to get caught... This is the worst!
–
Thirteen: *laughs cheerfully in excitement, raising voice with a grin* Over here, boys! Get a load of this!
*big flash of white*
Lucifer: *shuts eyes immediately* …!
Solomon: *squeezes eyes shut with a gasp* Too bright…!
Thirteen: *proud, cackling giggle, hip cocked confidently* Heh heh heh... Behold the power of the Forget-Me-Not Mirror! Whoever sees their own reflection will forget whatever it was they were trying to do in the first place.
Luke: *shakes head, humming doubtfully*That seems a little extreme. *smiles, nods* Then again, it’s perfect for a situation like this. That way, they’ll forget all about trying to chase us...
*squishy thud*
Mammon: *flinches* Eurk...!
Lucifer: *expression dangerously void of all emotion* I’ve got you now, Mammon. *now smiling dangerously, eyes eerily relaxed* Now then, I heard that Cerberus has been wanting to play with you. We’re leaving.
Mammon: *outraged* C'mon, what gives?! Wasn’t your memory supposed to be wiped?!
Lucifer: *expression turns dangerous again*
Mammon: *yelps in pain, panicky* H-Have mercy, brother. My neckkk! Don’t drag meeee!
Thirteen: *sheer, wide-eyed shock* ...Why didn’t it work?! That’s not supposed to happen. Is there a crack in the mirror or something?!
Luke: *yelps, eyes widening in fear* Ack, Thirteen! Don’t point it this way!
Luke: Yeah, why? *frowns in confusion* ...By the way, what’re we all doing out here?
Solomon: *raises brows in curiosity* Is something bad supposed to happen if we look at it?
–
2. You didn’t lose your memory, did you?
Thirteen: *scowls, shaking head in firm denial* Huh? Don’t be absurd. *looks around vaguely* ...But, does anyone know why we’re in the garden?
Solomon: *frowns thoughtfully* Hang on, was this another one of Thirteen’s traps?
–
*explanation skip*
Solomon: *nods grimly, humming in thought* Ah, I get it. If you see your reflection, you’ll forget what you were supposed to be doing. *smiles kindly, patiently teaching* Hm, what probably happened was that the moonlight bouncing off the mirror was too bright, so Lucifer and I closed our eyes before the trap could take effect.
Solomon: More importantly, you three have perfect timing. Come to the cafeteria with me.
ABOVE: THE SWEET FACE OF EVIL.
…*fade to the RAD cafeteria*…
Solomon: *beams with a light, happy laugh, presenting his culinary concoction proudly* Ta-da! I made too much food yesterday, so I brought the leftovers for lunch. *so kind, so eager* I don’t have much time left in my lunch break since I was looking for Luke, but please help yourselves.
Luke: *sheer dismay* I couldn’t escape now even if I wanted to!
Thirteen: *scowls in outrage* How did I end up in this situation?!
Solomon: *happy, musical hum, eyes crinkling with pleased delight* Come now, Chise. Won’t you join us?
Mephisto: *stares out over the water, completely flummoxed* ...What in the Devildom is going on here…?
Luke: *stunned confusion* How did we end up by the sea?
We were at the House of Lamentation a moment ago. What happened?
Luke: *shakes head in anxious concern* I have no idea… One moment I was returning to the common room with tea, the next I was here.
–
2. Where are we?
Mephisto: *hums thoughtfully* It seems to be an island somewhere. *shakes head, perplexed* However, we were at the House of Lamentation a moment ago, so I have no idea how that is possible.
–
Mephisto: *disbelief* Is this some kind of dream?
Luke: *nervous, unhappy noise* It feels too real to be a dream.
Mephisto: *grimaces* It feels far too strange to be reality, though… Perhaps we had some sort of accident and lost our memories of how we got here? …*frowns, shaking head determinedly* Well, speculation isn’t going to help us get to the bottom of this. Let’s look around the island. If we can find some other people, we can ask them what’s going on.
Luke: *clenches fists, determined* Mephisto’s right. Let’s head for that forest over there.
--------
AsmoBaby: Mephisto! Our hero!
--------
Luke: *defeated, anxious hum, shoulders slumped* We’ve been once around the whole island, but we haven’t found anyone else.
Mephisto: It seems that this is a deserted island.
Try using my D.D.D.
Mephisto: *gawks* You had your D.D.D. all along!
Luke: *beaming smile* If we can contact someone…!
*click* *nothing*
*expressions fall*
Mephisto: *sighs* …No signal?
Luke: *pouts* Then we can’t call for help…
–
2. Try using magic.
Luke: *taken aback* Your magic isn’t working…? *concentrates* Let me try.
Luke: …*sighs, shaking head* It’s no good. I can’t use magic either.
Mephisto: *grimaces* I tried as well, but it’s useless. It seems that none of us can use magic.
–
Luke: *whimpers fearfully* What are we going to do...? Are we going to be stuck here for the rest of our lives?
Mephisto: *shakes head confidently* You’re not alone, Luke. If we all work together, I’m sure we can escape from this island. Don’t give up.
Luke: …*nods bravely* You’re right. Sorry for being so negative. *determined* Let’s think of a way off this island together!
*fade to forest*
Mephisto: We’ve gathered some usable materials. If we can build a raft, we can escape over the ocean. Let’s return to the beach and try assembling one.
???: Help!
--------
Stn: A formidable opponent.
--------
Mephisto: *straightens in shock, perplexed* ...That was Luke’s voice. *fierce, urgent* Something must have happened to him. Let’s go, Chise!
*fade to run towards Luke’s voice*
Luke: …*whimpers* Ugh... Why did things turn out this way?
Mephisto: Luke, are you all right?!
Luke: *jumps, wide-eyed* Mephisto, Chise! Those monkeys are trying to steal my bananas!
Mephisto: *hums grimly* Shadow monkeys...a whole troop of them. *shakes head grimly* Without our magic, I don’t think we can fight off that many. Without our magic, I don’t think we can fight off that many.
Luke: *uncertain* But…
Mephisto: *sharp, desperate* Why are you hesitating? Hurry, before the shadow monkeys attack!
I’ll draw their attention!
*camera shakes*
Mephisto: You’re going to throw some coconuts to draw their attention?
*yes*
Mephisto: …*nods seriously* Excellent, they’ve gone after the coconuts. Now, Luke! While they’re distracted!
Luke: Okay!
*Luke darts over at a run*
Luke: *shakes head in relief* Phew... That was close. *little smile* Thank you, Chise. And you, Mephisto.
*rustling bushes*
*thump* *camera shakes*
Luke: *jumps back, wide-eyed* Ah, my bananas!
Luke: *whimpers, slumping in shame* Sorry, the shadow monkeys ended up taking everything. *sighs unhappily* I spent a lot of time gathering those…
–
2. Luke, over here! Quick!
Luke: *nervous, sad* ...Okay. I’ll give up the bananas to the shadow monkeys. *glares, shouting* Take it, you lot!
Mephisto: Now, while they’re eating! Come over to us!
Luke: Okay…!
*Luke darts over at a run*
Luke: *shakes head in relief* ...Phew, thank goodness...I’m saved. *pouts sadly* But, after all the trouble I went through to get those bananas…
–
Mephisto: I know you were trying to secure a food source for us. But, if we can build a raft and leave the island, then hopefully that won’t be necessary. So cheer up.
Luke: *smiles appreciatively* Thanks, Mephisto. And you too, Chise.
Mephisto: *reassuring smile* Come on, let’s pick ourselves up and build that raft!
--------
ButlerBarb: I'm glad you are safe.
--------
*back to ocean beach*
Mephisto: *nods approval* The raft is complete.
Luke: *beams* Wow! We actually managed to build one…!
Mephisto: And there’s enough space for all of us.
Luke: *uncertain, scared* …Won’t it sink?
Mephisto: *confident* I’ve made some modifications to prevent that, but there are no guarantees. Still, we’ve got no choice if we want to get out of here.
Whatever happens, we’ll be okay with the three of us.
Luke: *smiles* Chise is right. *bounces on heels* If we work together, we can overcome anything!
–
2. We trust you, Mephisto.
Mephisto: *straightens, puffed-up preening* *smug, victorious chuckle, smirking* If we make it back, I’m going to write a series of articles for the RAD newspaper about our epic escape from this deserted island. When the time comes, please allow me to interview you.
–
Mephisto: *confident smile* Is everyone ready? Let’s go!
*time skip*
*fade to out on the dark ocean*
Luke: *smiles in relief* There are no signs of the raft sinking so far, and it feels good gliding over the waves!
Mephisto: *nods, smiling back* The oars we made out of bamboo are also working perfectly. We’re making good progress.
Luke: *perks up* *incredulous gasp* Oh, I see a shore!
Mephisto: And there’s a town.
Luke: *wide-eyed disbelief* Then...we managed to escape from the island?
Mephisto: *smiles* So it seems. A successful escape.
*long flash of white, sparkling chimes sound*
*fade to HOL common room*
Luke: *dazed* Hm… *eyes widen in fear* Where am I…?
Mephisto: *frowns* ...The House of Lamentation.
Luke: *gasps* *cheers, bouncing, happy sparkles* We made it back! Yay! …*deeply confused* But what’s going on? Weren’t we on the ocean?
Mephisto: *tilts head* Hm? There’s something at your feet. What’s this…? *eyes widen* A 3D deserted island escape game?
Luke: *shoulders slump* Oh, so that’s what happened.
Mephisto: *exhausted confusion* That was a game world...? It was very realistic.
–
2. Was it all because of that game?
Luke: *exhausted sigh* We must’ve gotten sucked into the game world without realizing it.
Mephisto: *scowls, shaking head irritably* Good grief, that Leviathan! He put us through so much trouble.
–
Luke: *nods, smiling sweetly* Even though it was a game, I’m glad we were able to escape. I was really scared, but thanks to you two, we made it. *happy bouncing* Thanks guys.
Mephisto: *fond smile* Well then, let’s celebrate our successful escape with a cup of tea.
Luke: *eager nod* Yeah. I’ll go make some. *laughs in relief, happy sparkles* I’ll bring some delicious tea and sweets, so just wait there!
Thank you again to @bearakero for submitting a video for me to transcribe from!! ^_^ (I'm getting the sense that you're a Thirteen fan) (just a vibe) (I could be wrong) ((I'm not)).

Belphie: Magic poisoning is becomi...
––––––––––––––––
*tavern-style restaurant dining room*
Diavolo: *spreads arms in welcome, smiling brightly* If it isn’t Chise, Luke and Thirteen! Thank you all for coming!
Luke: *tilts head curiously* Why did you call us out of the blue? Is something wrong?
Thirteen: *nods* What’s going on?
Diavolo: *crosses arms, growing serious* Well, you see, an acquaintance of mine is running his restaurant during the festival and he's currently undergoing a bit of a crisis. *hums with worry, grimacing* Due to some cases of magic poisoning, they’re severely understaffed.
Luke: *eyes widen in shock* Magic poisoning... Wait, isn’t that the same thing that happened to the Tumbling Troupe?
Diavolo: *nods seriously* That’s right. Since this festival only lasts for a few days, taking even a single day off would be devastating for their earnings. I’d like to do whatever I can to assist them.
Like what?
Diavolo: *smiles warmly* We should always be willing to help out in times of need.
Thirteen: *grimaces with a noise of bemusement* Never thought I’d hear a demon say something like that.
–
2. That’s so kind of you.
Luke: *perks up with a smile, nodding* I know exactly how you feel! Whenever Simeon needs help, I can’t stand by and watch!
–
Luke: But, why ask the three of us?
Thirteen: *sighs with a pout* Probably because we’re the first ones he saw sitting around, twiddling our thumbs.
Diavolo: *smiles cheerfully, eyes sparkling* You’ve got that right, I’m afraid. Of course, I’ll be rolling up my sleeves, too.
Thirteen: *exasperated sarcasm* Wow, the Demon King’s successor himself...
We’ll be able to work it out, right?
Thirteen: *sigh of frustration, expression supremely doubtful* Has things like this ever worked out?
–
2. We’re going to take the festival by storm!
Luke: *bounces happily on his heels* You bet! We’ll have people lined up around the block!
–
Diavolo: *smiles charmingly* Thank you, I’ll be counting on you.
––––––––
Mammoney: I'm surprised that you can...
––––––––
Diavolo: Luke, I’d like you to assist the wait staff. Thirteen, you’re in charge of bringing in the customers.
Luke: *smiles* You can leave it to me!
Thirteen: *noise of nonchalant agreement* All right, maybe it’ll be kind of fun. I’ve got nothing better to do anyway.
–––– Route 1 ––––
Diavolo: Chise, would you rather help Luke or Thirteen? I’ll be working in the kitchen, I should add.
I’ll help Luke.
Luke: *bounces with a little laugh* You really mean it?! Thanks! I feel much better knowing you’ll be beside me!
Thirteen: *grins* Right, I’m going to go do my thing.
*time skip*
Luke: *nods cheerfully* Chise, could you bring a Door to Insanity set to table five? Table seven ordered the corpse soup and table two wanted the spiny crab fried rice.
*fade to commercial kitchen*
Diavolo: *smiling joyfully, hands reached out in offering* Soup’s up! Chise, if you’d please.
A) Take it to table seven.
*fade back to tavern dining room*
Luke: *beams, happy sparkles* Thanks, Chise! You’re a lifesaver!
–
B) Take it to table five.
*fade back to tavern dining room*
Luke: *alarmed little noise, wide-eyed* Chise, wait! Table five ordered the Door to Insanity set!
–––– Route 2 ––––
Diavolo: Chise, would you rather help Luke or Thirteen? I’ll be working in the kitchen, I should add.
2. I’ll help Thirteen.
Thirteen: *perks up with a grin* You will? Thanks.
Luke: *waves with a smile* Okay, see you two later!
*fade to Devildom streets*
Thirteen: *nods confidently, eyes bright* Right, let’s get to it.
*goofy music begins to play as Thirteen’s expression turns fierce with focus*
Thirteen: *shouts like a Pokemon trainer* Go get ’em, Gluey No. 2!
*whoosh!*
*splop*
Thirteen: *smiles confidently* Now, all we have to do is show everyone the menu while they’re trapped in the glue. It’ll be like shooting fish in a barrel!
2. A) Is that...legal?
Thirteen: *cocky smile* Loosen up and watch me work my magic.
Thirteen: *intense greeting* Hey, you! Check out this menu! Makes you wanna eat here, huh? *giggles, beaming wide* This dish is one of my personal favourites. So, how about it? Let’s get you a table, huh?
Thirteen: *cheerful* Oh, and don’t forget to wipe the glue off your shoes before you walk in! ...There, new customers. Look lively, guys! Got two customers headed your way!
Thirteen: *giggles proudly* See? Piece of cake. Come on, it’s time for you to start reeling them in, too.
–
2. B) You’re a genius!
Thirteen: *bursts into cheerful laughter, happy sparkles* Good to know you recognize genius when you see it. As a special favour, I’ll let you borrow Gluey No. 3 here. *giggles happily* Between the two of us, we’ll have that place packed in no time.
––––––––
Beelzeburger: Mmm, looks good. I'll go a...
––––––––
*commercial kitchen*
Diavolo: *humming with deep uncertainty* Hm...
Diavolo: …*catches gaze* *perks up with a smile* Oh, Chise! Have you come to lend a hand? *winces* As it so happens, I’m in a bit of a bind. The owner would like some new eye-catching dishes to put on their billboard. *shakes head with a noise of disappointment* I wanted to help by creating something for them, but I can’t think of any good ideas.
Is this really a job for amateurs like us?
Diavolo: *smiles reassuringly* Don’t worry, I’ll leave the actual cooking to the professionals. They have the experience to make those sorts of culinary ideas a reality, I’m sure.
–
2. Diavolo, you’re too kind.
Diavolo: *self-conscious chuckle, smiling sheepishly* You think so? You might be to blame for that, Chise.
–
Diavolo: *hums uncertainly* Hmm, what should I make...?
Something massive!
Diavolo: *smiles* Oooh. True, there’s nothing like absurdly generous serving sizes to get people talking. Oh, but having something that people could eat on the go might catch the attention of a bigger crowd.
–
2. Something flashy!
Diavolo: *grins in approval* Ah, something Devilgrammable, as Asmo would say? That might not be a bad idea.
–
Diavolo: I’ve got it! What if we made a meat bun that looks half tiger and half dragon?
It’s worth a shot!
Thirteen: *pokes head in* Chise, I could use a hand over here.
–
2. That’s a great idea!
Luke: *enters with a wave, smiling* Chise, there you are! Can you give me a hand?
–
Diavolo: *nods genially* I’ll be all right now. You’re free to go help whoever else needs it. *beams happily, eyes crinkling* I’m going to talk this over with one of the chefs straight away. Thank you for your insight, Chise!
––––––––
AsmoBaby: Get me some corpse soup...
(😨😨😨)
––––––––
Luke: *smiling cheerfully* Thank you, come again!
Thirteen: *grinning* We hope to see you again soon!
Diavolo: *grimaces* Phew... There goes the last customer of the day.
Luke: *sighs in exhaustion* We had back-to-back-to-back orders...
Thirteen: *siiiiighs, pouting* I’m so tired, I can hardly move...
Diavolo: *smiles warmly* Everyone, I can’t thank you all enough for the hard work that you put in today.
That goes for you too, Diavolo.
Diavolo: *chuckles self-consciously, bashful* Why, thank you. I’m a little worn out myself, but it was good fun.
–
2. I’m dead on my feet...
Diavolo: *smiles appreciatively* It’s no wonder, given that you did the most running around out of the three of us. *chuckles happily* Thank you. You saved the day this time.
–
Diavolo: That being said, the staff here would like to treat us to a full course of Long Hu cuisine, as thanks for your help.
Luke: *gasps, bounces with happy sparkles* You really mean it?! Yay! Seeing all those delicious dishes go out to the tables made me want to try them all!
Thirteen: *perks up with a giggle* I’m starving. When’s the food going to be ready?
Diavolo: *beams* Haha, then let’s find a table.
*small time skip*
Luke: *wide-eyed disbelief* This bloodbath mapo tofu is soooooo spicy!
Thirteen: *gasps in delight* The corpse soup isn’t half bad either.
Diavolo: *chuckles cheerfully* Chise, the meat bun that we came up with together was a hit. It’s already trending all over Devilgram.
Luke: Chise, you should try some of this mapo tofu!
Thirteen: *smiles sweetly* Get a taste of this soup. (NO.)
Diavolo: *grins* Why not have a bite of the meat bun?
Try the mapo tofu.
Luke: *fiercely* See? Doesn’t it make your eyes water?
A) That’s WAY too hot!
Luke: *smiles, bouncing* I knew it! ...*gasps in horror* Your mouth is turning red! Here, have some water!
B) My face is melting, but it’s sooooo good!
Luke: *wide-eyed gasp* Wow, Chise… You’re so strong!
–
2. Try the soup.
Thirteen: What do you think? Light and delicious, right? *shakes head with a dreamy sigh, happy sparkles* I can just feel it seeping into my sore bones... *smiles warmly* You did your fair share of work today too, didn’t you? Good job keeping up.
(REAPERS ARE HARDCORE.)
–
3. Try the meat bun.
Diavolo: *smiles eagerly* You must give it a try. Aren’t the dragon and tiger adorable? *chuckles happily* Of course, it tastes as good as it looks. The dough is soft and chewy, and they didn’t skimp on the fillings.
Diavolo: I couldn’t have done this without your help, Chise. I hope it becomes a long-standing favourite!
–
Luke: *grins happily* If we’re going to get fed this well, I’d be happy to help out again!
Thirteen: *noise of uncertainty, exhausted* It is delicious, but I’m going to have to pass on any future offers. I’m not cut out for this kind of work.
Luke: *looks aside, squirming uncomfortably with a pout* I wasn’t a fan of your underhanded methods of attracting customers anyway...
Thirteen: *shakes head with a sympathetic sigh* Oh, Luke. Are you still upset that you fell for more traps than they did?
Luke: *glares sulkily, indignant* You shouldn’t have been using any to start with!
Diavolo: *bursts out into cheerful laughter, happy sparkles* Hahaha! Today was a huge success regardless. Thank you for all your help today!
End.

Handmade Cards – Newspaper
––––––––––––––––
Stn: Pretty quick, for Levi.
––––––––––––––––
*MC’s bedroom*
Luke: *thoughtfully* Our assignment is to create handmade cards that show our appreciation for our friends. We probably can’t get away with making something simple, can we? *sighs, shoulders slumping* Why do our assignments always have to be so hard...?
*knock, knock*
*door unlatches*
Levi: *peeks in* Chise, are you here? *tilts head* Huh? Oh, Luke, you’re here too? *smiles* What great timing. Now I won’t have to walk all the way to Purgatory Hall. *holds hand up with a proud chuckle, grinning* These cards are for you.
Are these part of the assignment?
Levi: *beams with a cute little noise of confirmation* Bingo. You catch on quick.
–
2. Are you challenging me to a duel?!
Levi: *jumps back with wide eyes* Why would you think that?! I’m not challenging you to anything! These are the cards that are part of our assignment.
–
Luke: *tilts head* I get why you would want to give one to Chise, but why me as well?
Levi: *smiles warmly* You joined me for some video games the other day when I needed a partner. Consider this my thanks. *grins happily* I made one for you, Chise, because I’ll always be indebted to your friendship.
Thank you!
Levi: *bursts into nerdy laughter of joy, grinning* Of course! I’m forever grateful for you, my dearest friend!
–
2. You should show me your thanks more often.
Levi: *bounces on his heels with a grin, snickering* I’m always showing you my thanks! *immediately looks nervous at the thought, brow furrowing with hermit anxiety* In small increments, that is. Expressing the full extent of my feelings for you all at once would overheat my systems and result in the blue screen of death...
–
Luke: Oh, so that’s it, huh? Okay, then. *looks down with a blush, shifting weight from foot to foot shyly* U-Uh... Thanks...
Levi: *hides blushing face behind hands with a dramatic squealing, squirming to and fro with happy sparkles* Aaaah! So cute! I want to put him in my pocket and take him home with meee!
Luke: *scowls, shaking head with a peep of protest* That’s weird!
––––––––
LordDiavolo: What a marvellous idea!
––––––––
Luke: *smiles* Is it okay if I open your card right here?
Levi: *nods, smiling back* Of course! I’d prefer if you opened it now anyway!
*flash of white, magical noises*
Luke: *jumps back with a wide-eyed gasp* Whoa! Something popped out of the card as soon as I opened it!
Levi: *proud nerdy snickering, happy sparkles* Hehehe... Pretty cool, right? Awesome, right?! This, my friends, is a homemade Ruri-chan pop-up card! There’s even a personalized, recorded message inside!
A recording of Levi’s voice plays: “Luke, thank you for playing games with me.”
Levi: *beams proudly* See?
Luke: *gasps in delight, bouncing on his heels* Wow... This is so cool!
How did you make this?
Levi: *laughs nerdily* I thought you’d never ask! I used a special program on my computer. It barely took any time at all!
–
2. Must everything be Ruri-chan with you?!
Levi: *smiles excitedly, unfazed in the face of his love for Ruri-chan* What kind of question is that?! You know I am nothing without Ruri-chan! *gestures to Luke's card while bouncing on his heels, laughing his head off in delight, happy sparkles* But look! Now you can see Ruri-chan whenever you want! Awesome, right?!
–
Luke: *smiles, tilting his head with impressed curiosity* Wow... I want to make a card like this too!
Levi: *eyes widen* Huh? You do?
Me too!
Levi: *tilts head, blinking in surprise* You’re interested too, Chise? *smiles wide, though a bit shy* All right, all right. Since I’m such a nice guy, I’ll teach you guys how to make one.
–
2. Can I watch?
Luke: *laughs, delighted* You don’t have to stand by and watch. Let’s make our cards together!
Levi: *cute, flattered little smile, a bit shy* Okay, I guess I don’t mind showing you guys...
–
Levi: All right, everyone! To my room!
––––––––
AsmoBaby: Make some for me too ♡
––––––––
*Levi’s bedroom*
Luke: *perky with excitement* I can’t wait to get started. I’m going to make one for you, Chise, and everyone back at Purgatory Hall. Who are you going to make a card for, Chise?
I want to make one for everyone.
Luke: *looks down with a hum, brows drawn together in doubtful thought* Everyone, huh? Maybe I should make one for everyone at the House of Lamentation too...
–
2. I want to make one for you, Luke.
Luke: *smiles eagerly* For me? *laughs cheerfully, beaming with happy sparkles* Thanks, a card from you would make me so happy! I’m going to make your card extra special. You’ll have to wait and see!
–
3. For Levi.
Levi: *jumps in wide-eyed disbelief, brows drawing together in an emotional expression* Me?! R-Really…?! *gasps, breaking out into sunny grin of delight, happy sparkles* I’ve never felt so happy to be alive!
–
Levi: *gestures with his hand eagerly* I’ll show you an example first, so pay attention. First, you upload a file of the character or photo you want to pop out of the card here... Choose a specific action for the image to perform and add some special effects, if you like.
Levi: Then, all you have left to do is record your message and it’s finished. Easy, right?
I didn’t understand a word you just said.
Levi: *taken aback, perplexed* But I explained it in an easy-to-understand manner! *smiles, waving it off reassuringly* I’ll break it down for you more thoroughly later, Chise.
–
2. Sounds like a piece of cake!
Levi: *grins, bouncing happily with a proud snicker-chuckle* Right? This software couldn’t be more user-friendly. It’s top-of-the-line.
–
Levi: *nods in kind encouragement* Okay, Luke. You give it a try.
Luke: *smiles eagerly* Okay!
Levi: *nods with a little noise of approval* Good, upload your file there. Now, choose an action. If you check the box that says “repeat,” the image will pop out over and over again.
Luke: *eyes widen with his gasp* Wow, you’re right! This is so easy. Leviathan, you’d make a really good teacher, did you know that?
Levi: *eyes widen in disbelief* Me, a teacher? Y-You really think so, huh? *brightens with an excited, sunny smile, laughing with happy sparkles* Hahaha! “Mr. Leviathan” certainly has a ring to it.
(Oh my gosh he should have become an art teacher in I Do…)
––––––––
L3V1: I'm glad I was able to show...
––––––––
Levi: *smiling contentedly* It looks like we finished making all of our cards.
Luke: *excitedly* I made a pop-up card with a little dog inside! *beams* It even chases its own tail. Isn’t that cute?
Levi: *chuckles happily, holding up his work* I made another one too. This one features Azuki-tan instead.
Luke: What kind of card did you make, Chise?
A pop-up card with chocolate inside.
Luke: *laughs with delight, grinning* That’s perfect for Valentine’s Day!
–
2. A pop-up card with me inside.
Levi: *jumps with a wide-eyed squeak of sheer desire* You?! What I would give for a card like that!
–
Luke: *smiles, holding up hand* Here, Chise. I made this card for you. I put something special inside your card.
Levi: *smiles, holding his hand out too* Hold on! I also made Chise another card with something special!
Open Luke’s card.
Luke: For your card, I uploaded an image of me inside.
*flash of white, magic sparkles*
A recording of Luke’s voice plays: “Chise, I can’t wait to hang out with you again.”
Luke: *beams happily, laughing* Do you like it? I wanted to express how much I like being your friend, Chise.
–
2. Open Levi’s card.
Levi: I added both you and Ruri-chan inside the card this time. *bounces on his heels with a pleased snickering* The only thing better than Ruri-chan in a card is you and Ruri-chan in a card. Am I right?!
*flash of white, magic sparkles*
A recording of Levi’s voice plays: “Chise, your presence is one that I cherish. I hope you’ll continue to remain by my side forever.”
Levi: *looks aside shyly with a blush, lip trembling nervously* The message didn’t sound quite as embarrassing while I was recording it… *meets gaze shyly, smiling* But this is how I really feel. I hope you’ll accept it.

Please accept my card as well!
Luke: *nods, beaming* Thank you!
Levi: *wide-eyed, fierce blushing* M-My palms are sweating!
A) “Luke, let’s go somewhere together soon.”
Luke: *gasps with delight, bouncing on heels, happy sparkles* I’d love to! I can’t wait!
B) “Levi, can you recommend any new video games for me?”
Levi: *cute noise of agreement, grinning wide* Can I?! Just let me gather all the necessary documents and I’ll put together a whole presentation for you!

2. Thank you!
Luke: *laughs with delight* I think it’s really nice being able to tell someone how much you appreciate them with a card!

Levi: Oh. Speaking of which, the assignment mentioned that we have to make these cards for at least ten of our friends, right?
Luke: *startles in realization* You’re right! Which means, we still have more work to do.
Levi: *smiles* Let’s whip out a few more and start passing them out.
Luke: *nods encouragingly* Why don’t we pass out all of our cards together?
Levi: *grins* I have a feeling we’re all making cards for the same crowd anyway. Why not? I can stick around a little longer, I guess.
End.

Simeon: Luke, your card is quite impressive!
Simeon: How did you make it so that an angel pops out when you open it?
Solomon: I nearly jumped out of my seat when the music note came popping out of mine.
Solomon: I enjoyed the message you recorded inside as well.
Luke: I’m glad you guys like your cards.
Luke: Leviathan helped me. He showed me how to make it and everything.
Luke: We used a special program on his computer.
Simeon: Sounds difficult.
Luke: Not at all. Leviathan is really good at explaining things so that even a complete beginner could follow.
Luke: It made me want to learn more about other uses of computers.
Simeon: Hmm, do you think I could make a card like that too?
Solomon: I’m also curious about this program.
Simeon: Why don’t we ask Leviathan if he’s willing to teach us about this program?
(Oh no)
Simeon: I’d like to thank him for helping Luke with his homework as well. Perhaps I’ll bake some sweets to bring along with us.
Solomon: Good idea. I’ll help you.
(Oh dear)
Luke: It’s okay! I’ll help!
Luke: After all, it was me who asked Levi for help with my card.
Solomon: It’s only natural that I also do something for him, considering I’ll be asking for his help too.
Simeon: Luke’s assistance will be more than enough. Please do not worry, Solomon. We’ve got this.
Solomon: Are you sure?
Solomon: All right, then I’ll leave the sweets to you two, while I prepare him an extra special dinner instead.
Simeon: 😢
Solomon: 😊

Oh my god Luke just unleashed the bumbling grandpas upon poor Levi.
