Chat Group: Anime Girls are Moist-Chapter 455: Sasaki Chiho

"Hmph!"

Ever since Rei Ao saw what he shouldn't have, Emilia had been extremely quiet.

She didn't speak to him at all, and she kept a few steps behind him while they walked, glaring at his back with lingering annoyance and embarrassment. Rei Ao didn't seem to mind, though.

Suddenly, he stopped.

"We're here."

"What?"

Emilia looked ahead and saw nothing but a fast-food place that sold fried chicken, fries, and burgers. She was puzzled. Weren't they supposed to be looking for Satan?

Inside, they caught sight of a skinny, dark-haired young man, deeply bowing.

"Hi! I believe I can do a good job. Please give me a chance!"

Watching him, Emilia was reminded of herself when she'd been job-hunting.

"Welcome! May I take your order?"

A sweet-sounding girl with pink hair in braided pigtails, dressed in a waitress's uniform, greeted them. Rei Ao recognized her: Sasaki Chiho, a key girl from The Devil Is a Part-Timer!. She was just doing her usual job, but upon seeing Rei Ao and Emilia, a hint of surprise flashed across her eyes: They're both so pretty... and so handsome...

Rei Ao casually ordered,

"Two fries, two colas."

His voice caught the attention of the dark-haired young man who was in the middle of an interview.

That voice is so familiar... he thought.

Their eyes met.

Rei Ao narrowed his gaze and said,

"We meet again."

"!!!"

Seeing Rei Ao's face, the young man—Maou Sadao, in fact Demon King Satan—went weak in the knees and dropped to the floor.

It's him!!!

"Huh?" The manager frowned at this unexpected display. "Maou Sadao-san, there's no need to bow that deeply just for a job interview..."

"I'm sorry—I'm not looking for work anymore!"

Leaping to his feet, Maou dashed out of the store.

Need to get away—fast!!! He had no intention of continuing the interview, not with such a terrifying person there. The one individual he least wanted to run into in this world was Rei Ao.

After Rei Ao "warned" him last time, a demon from this world (not the Ente Isla demon race) came to find him.

After some tough interrogation, he'd had to sign a humiliating contract not to cause any trouble. At that point, returning to his home world seemed impossible, so he was scraping by in this one.

Those other demons had set him up with an identity in the human world. He went by Maou Sadao, and his companion Alsiel by Ashiya Shirou.

But a new name and papers weren't enough to survive—you still needed money for rent, utilities, food, etc. Ashiya had found a job, but then lost it unexpectedly.

Now he was unemployed, and Maou had to come out and look for work. Yet on his first day of interviewing, he ran into the last person he wanted to see.

Seeing the bizarre way Maou Sadao bolted off, the manager could only shake his head in dismay.

"If you aren't serious about the job, why come for an interview at all?"

He muttered under his breath, then went back to work.

"Here are your fries and colas!"

Sasaki Chiho hadn't really focused on what happened. She handed Rei Ao and Emilia their order, and Rei Ao nodded in thanks.

"Oh, right—miss? When you bent over just now, the button on your chest area popped open. You might want to fix that."

"Huh?"

Chiho froze, then looked down at the straining button near her, well, ample figure. Sure enough—it had come undone.

"Wah!"

She blushed and hurried to fix it. By the time she looked up again to thank them, both Rei Ao and Emilia were gone.

"Huh? Where'd they go?"

...

Outside on the sidewalk, they'd already left the store. Emilia held her cola in one hand and fries in the other, staring at Rei Ao with an odd look.

"You didn't just bring me here to see that girl, did you? You pervert," she accused.

"You're overthinking it," Rei Ao replied. "That girl was a coincidence."

"Hmph, I don't believe you."

Emilia huffed.

"You said we were going to see Satan, the Demon King. So where is he?"

Rei Ao turned back, grinning at her.

"But you did see him."

"Huh?"

She'd been suspecting something weird, but now she felt sure Rei Ao was messing with her. She certainly hadn't recognized any Demon King. If Satan had been there, she would've sensed it. In Ente Isla, they were mortal enemies.

"Ah," Rei Ao continued. "Have you forgotten how you changed when you lost your holy magic?"

Losing her Holy Law power had changed her physically. It suddenly dawned on Emilia.

"Wait... You mean the Demon King also changed his appearance?"

"Glad you caught up."

"I'm not dumb!"

"Right, but if you were paying attention, you would've realized that skinny guy who ran just now was Satan. He bolted so fast because he recognized me, not you."

Emilia ground her teeth in frustration at his teasing. She never imagined the once-mighty Demon King, Satan, would become such a scrawny-looking young man with no hint of demonic aura.

"No wonder he took off in such a hurry...he recognized you, not me. I guess since I look so different, maybe he had no idea it was me," she admitted, annoyed.

"Heh, no shame in it. Anyway, we didn't come to catch him," said Rei Ao with a casual shrug.

"Let's go straight to his apartment instead. I've actually got a few questions for him."
