OBS, a group of devils living inconspicuously alongside humans, and Nightmare, a group of exorcists that blend in among humans, had previously worked independently, but as low-level devil activity grew around the city, they established contact.
The aesthetics of demons, the pride of exorcists and a "certain secret" revealed because of that conflict.
What will their conclusion be after everything is revealed?

Scene 1
B-project Half
*Sound of door opening*
TOMOHISA: Welcome to OBS
CLIENT: Uhm, I have an appointment for 2:00 in the afternoon…
TOMOHISA: We have been waiting for you. Please follow me.
CLIENT: This looks like a lounge in a high-end hotel!
TOMOHISA: *chuckles* Thank you for the compliment
CLIENT: By the way… Can you guys really do that thing for me?
TOMOHISA: Of course. However, before we get into the details, let me introduce to you our brilliant team members.
CLIENT: *gasps* Since when did you guys arrive here?!
RYUJI: (unamused) Heh… are you the client this time?
HARUHI: You seem like a good person at first glance but you came to our office. Are you actually a bad person, then?
YUDUKI: Well, I’m not surprised anymore. That’s just how they are. They hide it so well on the surface but on the inside, they are full of jealousy and hatred.
RYUJI: That’s right! That’s how humans are.
AKANE: What kind of commission is it this time? I’m getting totes excited! No, actually I’m getting so hyped!
MIROKU: Akane. Please hold yourself back in front of the client.
AKANE: Hehehe! Sorry! It was unintentional!
TOMOHISA: Well then, let’s get started. What is your commission this time?
CLIENT: I want… I want you to help me with revenge!
TOMOHISA: So it is revenge, huh?
CLIENT: Uhm… Who are you guys? The way you showed up just now… and then, your behavior… How should I put it…
TOMOHISA: What do you mean?
CLIENT: … You don’t seem like humans at all!
RYUJI: That’s not important at all.
MIROKU: As long as it is our job, we will complete any commission.
YUDUKI: Of course, that includes eliminating the target.
HARUHI: Or making the other person experience torture worse than death…. That’s super easy!
CLIENT: Ahh!
AKANE: Oh! Of course, there has to be a corresponding compensation for it!
TOMOHISA: Well then, please tell us. How do you want us to exact your revenge?

*Footsteps running*
GOSHI: Ah! There it is! The cat with a toupee-like pattern on a white background!
HIKARU: Roger that! Uwah! Ah, it ran away! Tatsu, it ran away!
TATSUHIRO: I got it! … Damn it! It ran so fast. Yuta! I’ll leave it to ya!
YUTA: Okay! Leave it to me! Over here, kitty~ Come over here~
Cat: *meows aggressively*
YUTA: Ahhh! Ouch, ouch, ouch! *sighs* I am sorry for scaring you! But, but! This is our job!
GOSHI: Hold it securely!! Do you really want to have instant cup noodles for dinner tonight?!
TATSUHIRO: I’ve eaten it twice in a row now. I want to get paid and eat a good meal.
HIKARU: Meat! Meat! Meat!
YUTA: Ahhh, dang it! I don’t know where it went!
GOSHI: Ahh, goddammit! Got no progress at all! Let’s just go back to the office first.
HIKARU: *sighs in exasperation* If we say that we let the cat get away, will Leader get angry again?
TATSUHIRO: Being angry is still fine. What’s more terrifying is when he smiles while saying “Thank you for your hard work” to us.
GOSHI: I mean, for how long will this kind of mission last? This job is becoming like a chore.
YUTA: Gochin! You shouldn’t be saying those things! We are a multitask kind of shop. We have to do everything.
GOSHI: That’s just on the surface. If we continue like this, then won’t we really become a jack of all trades and master of none?
—-
*Footsteps approaching, door opening*
HIKARU: We’re back! We just arrived!
KENTO: Welcome back.
MIKADO: Everyone, thank you for your hard work in finding the cat.
YUTA: Uhm… About that… Actually…. We still haven't found the cat.
Cat: Meow!
GOSHI: Huh?!
Everyone: Ehhh???
HIKARU: This pattern and that arrogant look… It’s the kitty that we are looking for!
YUTA: Why?! What is it doing here??
MOMOTARO: It came towards me when I was walking in front of the office.
TATSUHIRO: As expected of Momotaro.
MIKADO: Momotasu is popular with the animals, right!?
GOSHI: What the hell is that
YUTA: We were searching for it so hard… What’s even the purpose of that now?
KENTO: It was just a waste of effort. Thank you for your help though.
GOSHI: Tsk! Really can’t do this no longer. I mean can’t I take on some more serious work?
KENTO: Can you please stop blaming the mission for your lack of results?
GOSHI: Huuuhh?!
YUTA: Ok! Gochin and Kenken too, stop right there!
MIKADO: Our office would have closed down long ago if it wasn’t for Kenti’s professionalism. Now, we should be thankful for any job.
HIKARU: But you know, if we keep going on like this, we’re really going to become just a group of handymen! We are exorcists after all!
KAZUNA: It doesn’t have to be anything—
YUTA: Waaah!
KAZUNA: —But it can be something a part of your daily life, you know.
YUTA: You scared me!
TATSUHIRO: Leader, since when did you—
KAZUNA: We have to be vigilant of our surroundings at all times. After all, no one knows when the devil will appear. For that reason, it is critical that we take on trivial tasks and incorporate them into our regular routines in order to notice any subtle changes.
KENTO: What he said is right.
HIKARU: Oka~y.
KAZUNA: Thank you for your hard work in finding the cat. After speaking with the client, I was informed that they will be picking it up shortly.
TATSUHIRO: Really? That’s great.
YUTA: Yippiee! Finally, I have something to eat!
HIKARU: Yayyy! Meat, meat!
KAZUNA: Also, I have something I want to say before we eat. Actually, I received a notice from the church.
MIKADO: *shrieks* From the church, you say?
GOSHI: What is it? Is there a problem?
KAZUNA: Mhmm, it seems like there’s a lot of devil-related incidents lately.
MOMOTARO: Hmm, certainly. It feels like there is an evil spirit permeating the whole city.
TATSUHIRO: But I think most of them are merely low-level devils that are not worthy of being mentioned.
KAZUNA: According to the investigation by the church, it appears that someone is attempting to unleash the long-sealed devilic power.
YUTA: Ehh?
MIKADO: So this devil… is it the lord of flies, Beelzebub? Or is it Mammon? No, wait! Ain’t no way, but is it the LUCIFER?!
TATSUHIRO: As expected of the walking devil expert.
MOMOTARO: When it comes to the knowledge of devils, nobody can compare to Mika.
KAZUNA: The church gave us a mission.
KENTO: As you go about your everyday business, you must also look into the movements of the devils. Goshi, ain’t that a relief? As you had hoped, you were finally given a respectable mission.
GOSHI: You— Are you looking for a fight?!
KAZUNA: Goshi. Calm down.
GOSHI: Guh…
KAZUNA: That being said, I hope that everyone will work together. The main force in charge of the devil investigation will be—-
YUTA: Yes, yes!! I want to be part of the main force please!
HIKARU: Ehh? Yuta, that’s unusual for you. Don't you generally detest embarking on such frightful missions?
KAZUNA: I apologise, but this time I will take a few elites…. That’s right. People like Goshi, Momo, and myself who have real battle experience. All three of us.
YUTA: But I want to help too!
MIKADO: What’s the matter? You are very eager about this. It’s not like you, Yutaso.
TATSUHIRO: Are you really so keen to track down the devil?
YUTA: That is…
GOSHI: It’s alright, ain’t it? … I’ll keep an eye on him.
YUTA: Gochin…
GOSHI: Don’t hold us back, got it?
YUTA: Yep! Thanks! *hugs*
GOSHI: Hnngh! Stop glomping onto me all the time!!! Ugh… Ok this should be fine.
KAZUNA: …Hmm. If Goshi said so, then let’s bring him with us. Momo, are you okay with this request?
MOMOTARO: Just leave it to me.
MIKADO: The four of you, please be careful.
HIKARU: Don’t act too stubbornly!
KENTO: Please remember to notify me if you come across any sexy devils.
TATSUHIRO: Kento, you…
KAZUNA: I hope others will keep this in mind. As exorcists, we must deny the devils their existence. We have to annihilate them.

Scene 2
HARUHI: Let’s take a drink!
AKANE: A toast!
TOMOHISA: Thank you everyone for your hard work.
RYUJI: …This is delicious~
YUDUKI: After work, having a drink is truly a unique experience. It cannot be compared.
MIROKU: When I drink it on an empty stomach, I feel particularly joyful.
RYUJI: This is our indispensable secret to staying youthful.
AKANE: Really? I assumed you were around my age when we first met, Ryuji. It surprised me that you are a devil who has lived a lot loooonger than I have—
RYUJI: Can we not talk about my age?
AKANE: Sorry, sorry~
HARUHI: However, to be honest, the work this time is super easy~
MIROKU: We did a wonderful job of meeting the client's needs.
YUDUKI: The commission was to get rid of the person the wife was having an affair with, right?
RYUJI: That’s right. Humans are such hopeless creatures, to be honest. They're completely self-centered and only consider themselves.
HARUHI: In conclusion, to be influenced by this so-called love is ultimately unfathomable.
MIROKU: After all, us devils don’t harbor such feelings.
AKANE: Ehh? But I do have some aspirations in mind~ Loving just one person wholeheartedly is romantic, isn't it?
RYUJI: The client must, however, give over half of his life for this love. Since human life is already brief, I find the decision to be somewhat incomprehensible.
YUDUKI: Indeed, and what makes humans think we are all alike? It is clear that we are entirely distinct entities from them.
HARUHI: That’s so true! We’re doing things that humans are incapable of achieving yet they don't suspect anything. Are they feigning ignorance?
RYUJI: How can that be? They wouldn't have come here in the first place if they were that intelligent, after all. They are merely a group of beings struggling with their vile greed and self-interest.
TOMOHISA: Everyone, settle down. Their commission is the reason we are able to live this kind of life. Do not speak of them in that way.
RYUJI: Fine, fine.
TOMOHISA: On the contrary, we ought to be appreciative of their stupidity and inner filth.
YUDUKI: Tomohisa-san’s statement sounds the most ironic….
HARUHI: But, but, that’s what humans are, isn't it? It's because we believe we can mercilessly wipe out humankind!
MIROKU: By the way, Tomohisa-san, you performed flawlessly this time in every regard.
TOMOHISA: Heh…Thank you.
RYUJI: If all devils could kill people as cleanly as Tomo does, that would be fantastic. It’s somewhat annoying that there seem to be an increasing number of troublesome devils lately.
MIROKU: Additionally, there are now more low-level devils than before.
YUDUKI: It can only be regarded as pure aesthetics when they’re erased without leaving any trace, right?
TOMOHISA: We must use greater caution and avoid making the devil's presence too conspicuous.
HARUHI: Could it be a devil from another organization?
TOMOHISA: No.
RYUJI: Could it be related to the incident we have been investigating?
AKANE: What investigation?
HARUHI: Is it about the one from our clan? I really want to meet him soon.
TOMOHISA: *chuckles* There is no rush. But now that we have located his whereabouts, perhaps it is time to pay him a visit.
—
*phone ringing*
HIKARU: Greetings, we do everything from performing pest control to locating people, this is Nightmare. Ehh? Ahh… Okay, I’ll transfer you now… Leader, the church is on the phone.
KAZUNA: Ok, I have transferred it…. Oh, I understand. We will be right there. *hangs up phone*
KENTO: What is it?
KAZUNA: According to the church, they felt a powerful mystical force in an abandoned tunnel on the outskirts of the city. They ordered us to go check it out immediately.
YUTA: An abandoned tunnel? And it's already so late? It must be completely dark! Uwaa! Well, is a ghost present?
KENTO: What are you talking about? If an exorcist is afraid of ghosts, how can he deal with devils?
YUTA: Ughhh… I’ll be fine! It’s okay!
KAZUNA: As previously discussed, Goshi, Yuta, Momo, and I are going to visit the site to have a look. The others will have to wait in the office. Please contact me if you have any concerns.
TATSUHIRO: Got it.
HIKARU: Be careful. Make sure to come back safely.
MIKADO: I'll wait for you while chanting an exorcism spell.
GOSHI: While you chant slowly, I’ll finish them in one go.
HIKARU: Yoo! You are indeed a nonconformist!
MOMOTARO: Do not die too soon.
KAZUNA: I’m looking forward to what you two will do.
YUTA: Then, we will be going!
*door closes*
MIKADO: They are gone. Please may God bless them.
TATSUHIRO: The other three would be fine, but I am a little worried about Yuta.
KENTO: He should be fine if he’s with those members.
MIKADO: You…are probably right.
HIKARU: But, but isn't it better to be optimistic~?
TATSUHIRO: What’s good about it?
HIKARU: Sheesh, Tatsu! Stop saying such weird things!
TATSUHIRO: You too though! Didn't you previously mention that Yuta rarely took on such a terrifying task?
HIKARU: Hehhh~ Did I really say so? But for me, I super totes trust Yutan though!
MIKADO: Kenti and Go-san, you and Yutaso grew up together, right? The three of you are always together, was there anything different?
KENTO: Oh… Nope, I don’t know.
TATSUHIRO: You don’t have to discuss it as long as it doesn't interfere with work. But if it does affect at all, then I want you to talk about it. As your comrade, I want to know.
*sudden whooshing sounds*
TATSUHIRO: Ugh?!
HIKARU: Ehh? What? What is it?
HARUHI: Yah~ Yaahh~ Exorcists, good evening~!
AKANE: We understand that you feeble humans might be too tired at this late hour, but please pardon us; now is the time for activities.
KENTO: This oppressive atmosphere—
TATSUHIRO: Ahh, they seem to have come specifically to visit us.
HIKARU: Ehh?? This lot? Demons?! Why did they come to us here?
YUDUKI: Due to special circumstances, we chose to visit this person this time.
KENTO: Do you know where this is…?
TATSUHIRO: We exorcise devils for a living!
MIROKU: Of course, we know.
HARUHI: There’s someone we reallyyy want to meet!
HIKARU: Who is this person you wanna meet?
KENTO: By that, do you mean—?!
MIKADO: ….Tuuunk!!!!!!
HARUHI: Ehh??? What what what happened?
MIKADO: Up until recently, we have only exorcised low-level devils before… but this is the first time I have encountered a devil with such powerful power!! Ahhh!!!! I feel such deep emotions!!
TATSUHIRO: Mikado, you…
MIKADO: Yeah, if I touch it a little, it feels like—
AKANE: Hey! Ahaha!
MIKADO: Our body structure and skin texture are not much different. The left eye feels cold—
AKANE: Hey, stop it! It feels itchy!
MIKADO: Oh, my apologies! I didn’t expect that the devil’s skin could also be sensitive to stimulation… This is very useful information. Thank you!
MIROKU: Who is this guy?
YUDUKI: A dangerous person?
KENTO: Hahaha… He’s a total devil fan.
HARUHI: It’s not quite normal.
YUDUKI: …. I see. It seems like today is just an unlucky day.
MIROKU: There’s still some devilic aura left, but it doesn’t seem strong enough.
HIKARU: …Gehh?!
TATSUHIRO: How can an exorcist be scared??
HIKARU: But, but!
AKANE: Well, nevermind. We can always take care of these guys anyway.
HARUHI: Yeah, since we’ve already sent our greetings, let’s just go back today, huh.
MIKADO: Are you trying to escape?!
MIROKU: We have no interest in you.
TATSUHIRO: Take that!!
MIROKU: Ugh…!!
AKANE: Miroku!
YUDUKI: What happened just now?
HIKARU: Hehe! That’s Tatsu for you!
MIKADO: Tatsu-dono can fight devils with his bare hands!
KENTO: I’ve had this question for a long time, is he still considered an exorcist?
MIROKU: Although he’s human, he’s pretty powerful.
HARUHI: Miroku, are you okay?
MIROKU: Yeah. Well, this is how I can kill him without any hesitation.
AKANE: Stop!! Have you forgotten what Tomo said? Today is only for scouting. Come on, let's reserve the killing for next time.
YUDUKI: Let’s head back. In any case, we'll see each other again shortly.
MIROKU: I understand. You guys are lucky this time.
KENTO: They disappeared.
MIKADO: What on earth is going on?
TATSUHIRO: What those guys said just now… is really concerning.
HIKARU: I wonder if Yutan and the others are okay…
—
*Dripping sounds of water*
GOSHI: Tsk! Hey, stop sticking so close to me! I can hardly walk properly!
YUTA: But it’s pitch black in this tunnel! If something appeared out of nowhere, it would be terrifying!
KAZUNA: *chuckles* Yuta really is a coward.
MOMOTARO: It’s going to be fine. I don’t sense any ghosts or anything of the sort.
YUTA: Wah? What does that mean? So there’s also something else?!
MOMOTARO: Mhmm.
YUTA: Waah! Wait a minute! Don’t stop now!
MOMOTARO: *chuckles* Since you can shout so loudly, you should be okay.
GOSHI: Hey, what is that?
YUTA: *shrieks* What?? What is that?!
GOSHI: You’re so loud! Stop overreacting. There seems to be something deep in the tunnel.
KAZUNA: Let’s go over and take a look… Ah, these are… humans…
YUTA: —Wah! Everyone is dead. Who… Who would do such a thing?
GOSHI: Look! There’s a magic circle nearby.
MOMOTARO: Is this a devil’s ritual?
YUTA: If that’s the case…
GOSHI: Who is it?!
RYUJI: Haaa… When you meet for the first time, do you use this as your opening statement? Do you humans lack etiquette?
TOMOHISA: Even at this late hour, humans are still about. How unusual.
YUTA: Who are you?!
KAZUNA: Yuta, do not come to them any closer.
YUTA: Huh?
MOMOTARO: Don’t you understand? This place is filled with the essence of the devil.
KAZUNA: Also, they are of a different level from the ones we have expelled before.
YUTA: Eh?? In other words, the one standing in front of us is—
TOMOHISA: Thank you. There is no need for us to introduce ourselves.
GOSHI: Did you perform this ritual?
TOMOHISA: No. That is not our work.
RYUJI: We don’t do such a low-level of execution. If we did the killing, we would do it in a smarter way.
TOMOHISA: It was probably some cheap devils.
KAZUNA: Momo, what do you think?
MOMOTARO: They are correct. The magic circle drawn by this amateur emits a far more weaker magic force than that of the two of them.
TOMOHISA: It is wonderful that the misunderstanding appears to have been cleared up. Also, meeting you by chance was not something I anticipated.
KAZUNA: But you seem awfully happy about it though. What really is it?
RYUJI: Tomo, the members we dispatched there just got back to me. Some mystical power remains, they said.
MOMOTARO: Are the devils in the office too?
YUTA: No, there’s no way!
GOSHI: What did you do to those guys?!
TOMOHISA: Haha, do not get too excited. Today is just the prologue of the story. The real fun is yet to come.
RYUJI: Hey, it’s almost dawn. Should we head back?
TOMOHISA: Yes, Ryuji. You do not like the sun. We should meet at a later time. Next time, let's go somewhere pleasant to enjoy a cup of tea. Farewell.
GOSHI: Do you think you can escape?!
KAZUNA: Goshi!
GOSHI: Ahh!
MOMOTARO: Don’t we need to expel them?
KAZUNA: Momo, you understand, right? Compared to the devils we had encountered, they are not on the same level. We must also be prepared and mindful if we intend to exorcise them.
YUTA: They’re really… very powerful devils.
KAZUNA: Yuta, your face looks pale. Has it affected you?
YUTA: No… I’m fine—
GOSHI: Yuta!!
YUTA: (loses consciousness)
MOMOTARO: He lost consciousness.
KAZUNA: His pulse is fine. Let’s take him back to the office.

Scene 3
YUTA: Ughh……
KENTO: Hey, are you awake?
YUTA: Gochin… Kenken… I—
KENTO: You slept all night.
GOSHI: You were just scared because of the devil and you’re a little anemic, that’s all.
KENTO: Just like Goshi said, there is nothing wrong with your body. Also, I have something to tell you. There were devils in the office.
YUTA: Ehh??? What were they doing there?
GOSHI: Keep your mind off the pointless things. All they want to do is make fun of us humans.
KENTO: It was just a little prank, no need to take it seriously.
YUTA: Thank you. But I… I don’t know why I was so scared… Really… very scared.
GOSHI: ….
KENTO: Tatsuhiro was right to worry. You don't often go to places like that on the spur of the moment.
YUTA: …. Gochin, you saw the bodies of the humans killed by the devils in the tunnel. They were discarded like trash… They… Demons can do such cruel things without any care!
GOSHI: Haa… That’s what the devil does. It does not have anything to do with you.
YUTA: Of course it does!
KENTO: Yuta, it’s okay.
YUTA: Kenken…
KENTO: We grew up together, and we know about your strengths and weaknesses very well.
GOSHI: Yeah, you are a cowardly, weak, and emotional exorcist.
KENTO: But he is also the most gentle exorcist, right. It is impossible for an ordinary person to get along with such a sharp-tongued fool.
GOSHI: Hahh?! Do you have the right to criticize others? You always have conflicts with others all year round!
KENTO: There’s nothing I can do about it. I’m just too charming and also my troublesome physique.
GOSHI: Huhhhhh??
KENTO: You are an expert at handling this type of situation, aren't you, Yuta? If it weren't for you, I would most likely be living in the streets right now. Thanks to you, we are where we are now.
GOSHI: Don’t be too harsh on yourself.
KENTO: Yes yes, you can let Goshi handle the luggage you can’t carry.
GOSHI: Huh?! Why don’t you carry it?!
YUTA: You guys… Thank you… I love you!
GOSHI: Heh… Don’t forget. You are a human being just like us.
YUTA: Yeah.
—
*phone ringing*
HIKARU: Greetings, we do everything from performing pest control to locating people, this is Nightmare. Ah! Gochin?? … Hmm! Really? …. Haha, that’s great! …. Hmm! I’ll tell everyone! *hangs up phone* He said Yutan is awake.
MIKADO: That’s a relief.
MOMOTARO: I can finally rest assured.
TATSUHIRO: It goes without saying, you need to watch someone closely if they exhibit odd behavior.
HIKARU: Uhm, Tatsu. Why were you looking at me when you said that?
TATSUHIRO: When you encountered the devil in the office, you were shaking so much that it was unnatural. Also, I had never seen you thoroughly inspect the tools before.
MIKADO: What do the devils that Leader came across look like?
KAZUNA: They are definitely devils of the highest calibre. They ought to have the ability to steer the group based on their actions and words.
HIKARU: Were they really such strong devils?
MOMOTARO: I fear that both of them are devils that are more powerful than mere weaklings.
MIKADO: Uwaah!! Those are super super rare! I really want to see them in person!
TATSUHIRO: …. You’re still saying such casual things at a time like this.
KAZUNA: I have heard that the devils had visited this place previously. Could you elaborate on that?
MIKADO: Okay, there were four devils in total. They seem to be very interested in our situation.
TATSUHIRO: They said something about the devil’s breath and left quickly.
HIKARU: There can’t be any devils here! I don’t understand what they were talking about!
KAZUNA: I do not think it is necessary to completely believe what they say, but it is better to be vigilant.
*sound of doorbell ringing*
TATSUHIRO: Who is it?
MOMOTARO: Appointments are unlikely to be scheduled at this time.
HIKARU: Ah! It must be the Uber Eats I ordered just now! … Wait a minute, I’ll open the door right away! …. Ah!
TOMOHISA: Hello, exorcist… Hikaru, is it?
HIKARU: How do you know my name? Also, who are you?
TOMOHISA: Well, who am I indeed?
AKANE: There is no way we can tell you that easily!
HARUHI: The devil’s name is a top secret, okay~
HIKARU: What the heck, that ain’t fair! Wait! You’re from yesterday! Everyone, this is bad! The devils from yesterday are back again!
TATSUHIRO: Huh??
MOMOTARO: What… is exactly going on?
RYUJI: Don’t be so nervous. We're here today to have a meaningful conversation with you~
MIKADO: W–What should we do? Leader?
KAZUNA: Since they are officially visiting, we will consider them as our guests. Let them come in.
MIROKU: Kazuna-san is indeed the church’s elite exorcist. Kazuna-san is so calm and composed.
AKANE: Then, excuse our intrusion~
HARUHI: No thank you for tea or coffee. If you want to entertain me, then let’s have some fresh human blood.
HIKARU: Yikes!
HARUHI: Oh, you look so frightened, it’s embarrassing. Besides, your blood doesn’t taste good, so pass!
HIKARU: Eh?! It doesn’t taste good? This is a shock to me!
YUDUKI: Okay, Haru. Stop talking nonsense.
KAZUNA: Since you have come all the way here to visit us, is there anything you want?
TOMOHISA: Yes, I don’t like beating around the bush, so I will get straight to the point. You saw the ritual in the tunnel yesterday, didn’t you?
MOMOTARO: Yeah.
TOMOHISA: We want to find the one responsible for that.
TATSUHIRO: Was it the killing ritual? Wasn’t it your accomplices who did that?
RYUJI: How is that possible? Really, how can human brains be so stupid?
YUDUKI: We wouldn’t kill humans so roughly.
HARUHI: Elegant and clever, that’s our style at OBS!
AKANE: That ritual was not performed by us but by other devils.
MIROKU: It’s really uncomfortable to be lumped together just because they are all devils.
TOMOHISA: We dislike drawing attention to ourselves. In human society, we desire to live in freedom, grace, and without interference. Anyone attempting to disturb this tranquilly will not be allowed to leave.
MOMOTARO: If you find the ones involved, what will you do?
TOMOHISA: Give them the punishment they deserve.
KAZUNA: I understand your request. But, why do you want to cooperate with us?
AKANE: Huh? Of course, it’s because you’re exorcists!
MIKADO: Is it really that simple?
HARUHI: Of course! You are experts in exorcism, so finding devils is a piece of cake for you.
RYUJI: Well, how is it? I do not want to hear any other answers except “Yes”.
KAZUNA: ….
TOMOHISA: Cooperate with us and together we shall vanquish the devils that are disturbing the tranquility of this city.
—
GOSHI: I absolutely object! Collaborating with the devils? Impossible!
KENTO: Goshi, don’t let your emotions get the better of you. Working with them could have some advantages.
MIKADO: They ought to be more knowledgeable about devils than we are.
TATSUHIRO: So we can use their knowledge of devils, right?
MOMOTARO: “Since I’ve eaten poison, I have to eat the whole plate” …. Right?
KAZUNA: I believe that cooperation is perfectly acceptable. What are everyone's thoughts?
MOMOTARO: Since Leader has said so… Well, I have no objection.
GOSHI: Tsk….
KAZUNA: We are not trying to get along with them. Their affable demeanour does not alter the fact that they are devils. We simply have the same interests in mind this time.
TATSUHIRO: I will follow Leader’s judgment too.
MOMOTARO: If anything goes wrong, I’m prepared to die together with you…
KENTO: Wow, you’re really reliable.
HIKARU: Uhh… I’m just nervous working with the devil. By the way, is YUTAn gonna be okay? Is he not going to faint again?
YUTA: Eh? Me?
TATSUHIRO: Hikaru, you have no right to criticize others. Don't keep trembling and complain about having trouble falling asleep at night.
HIKARU: Uhh…

KAZUNA: Please do not hesitate to ask me if there are any questions.
HIKARU: Leader, thank you!
