—half the arcade is being crushed as a huge scaly body slammed down through the roof.

Asa gasped as she raised her arms, protecting her head as much as she could from the falling debris and shattering lights.

People screamed as both kids and adults alike got hit by the carnage of a devil.

"It's boring but I guess I was thinking of getting more practical stuff." She shrugged, "But you can get whatever you want with those..."

At the mention of the prize, Asa paused and couldn't help but blush a little out of embarrassment.

"Oh, uhh, about that..." She looked at the tickets, "Well, it's not nearly enough but...I kinda wanted to get that...oven toaster..."

Asa muttered, looking back at the prize corner.

Happy New Years!! 🎉🎉🎉

Denji could say he fought a devil but couldn't identify what it was. Meanwhile, Asa can just go on her way like normal and they can meet up somewhere else...

It was safer to divert the attention of their pursuers elsewhere for now.

Her hand grabbed Denji's, squeezing hard enough that it hurt.

"𝐒𝐧𝐞𝐚𝐤 𝐨𝐮𝐭 𝐭𝐨 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐛𝐚𝐜𝐤. 𝐈 𝐰𝐢𝐥𝐥 𝐦𝐞𝐞𝐭 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐢𝐧 𝐒𝐡𝐢𝐛𝐮𝐲𝐚 𝐂𝐫𝐨𝐬𝐬𝐢𝐧𝐠. 𝐈'𝐦 𝐠𝐨𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐭𝐨 𝐦𝐚𝐤𝐞 𝐬𝐮𝐫𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐬 𝐛𝐨𝐝𝐲 𝐬𝐮𝐫𝐯𝐢𝐯𝐞𝐬."

Yoru glared and the scar disappeared in a second, making Asa gasp lightly at the switch.

"...yeah, maybe splitting up is best?"

And War Devil never blamed her for it—it's every demon for themselves after all.

"𝐒𝐨 𝐰𝐡𝐲 𝐰𝐨𝐧'𝐭 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐣𝐨𝐢𝐧 𝐦𝐞? 𝐅𝐢𝐧𝐞, 𝐈 𝐰𝐨𝐧'𝐭 𝐤𝐢𝐥𝐥 𝐃𝐞𝐧𝐣𝐢 𝐛𝐮𝐭 𝐝𝐨𝐧'𝐭 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐰𝐚𝐧𝐭 𝐚 𝐟𝐮𝐧 𝐰𝐨𝐫𝐥𝐝 𝐰𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐞 𝐲𝐨𝐮'𝐫𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐦𝐨𝐬𝐭 𝐩𝐨𝐰𝐞𝐫𝐟𝐮𝐥 𝐛𝐞𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐞 𝐢𝐬, 𝐁𝐥𝐨𝐨𝐝 𝐅𝐢𝐞𝐧𝐝? 𝐖𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐞 𝐢𝐬 𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐰𝐚𝐧𝐭?"

Slowly, she didn't seem pleased again.

"𝐒𝐩𝐞𝐚𝐤."
