Disgaea 4: Hataraku kyuuketsuki
Chapter 1: Vampire and Angel
In the human realm, there is a war between humans and demons. There have been much bloodshed during this era and finally it ended.
The humans were victorious due to their advance weaponry and darker personality compare to the demons.
However, the true cause of this was said that a certain tyrant was struck down by a woman who sacrificed herself in the process.
He has fallen into the Netherworld. No one knows where he is and how he was doing.
We'll begin our story at a certain diner.
Valvatorez: Oh… how I lust these beautiful magnificent beings. Their soft, smooth, tasty flesh. Oh, how I love these sardines!
Fuka: Ah, shut up and hand in the order already!
Valvatorez: How dare you! You have broken one of the rules of our store!
Fuka: What rule?
Valvatorez: Prinny rule no.1… You must always include 'dood' at the end of all your sentences.
Fuka: Why in the world do I have to do that!? It's stupid!
Valvatorez: You must! Its company's policies.
Let me explain. The former tyrant, Valvatorez is now working in a diner known as Hades which served many varieties of food to many demons.
He lives in an apartment with his right hand, Fenrich, a werewolf who is looking after the house while researching a way to return his powers back.
Or to be more precise… how to get Valvatorez to drink human blood again?
Fenrich: If it weren't for that woman, my lord would have ruled both the human and the Netherworld by now. Sigh… Guess there's no use complaining what's done. [Reading through many books]
Also, right next to Valvatorez is a dead human girl named Fuka Kazamatsuri. Due to the lack of Prinny hide, she has to wear a Prinny hat and jacket or she would disappear.
Before I forget, Prinnies are…
Valvatorez: Prinnies are the dead human souls who have to repent for their sins by doing labor chores so they can be reincarnated.
Hey, I was going to say that.
Valvatorez: I don't know much about you… but as long as you're an employee, it is my job to whip you up in shape so that you may be resurrected.
Fuka: For the last time, I'm not dead! Oh why couldn't I have a girly romantic dream instead of this!?
Did I mention she thinks this is a dream?
Gargoyle: Hey, when is it ready!?
Valvatorez: Oh, I'm so sorry, ma'am. Give us a minute.
After a while.
Valvatorez: Here is your order. One small leviathan burger, one man-eating salad, a side order of french goblin fingers and two medium cokes. Would you like to try our special sardines?
Gargoyle: No, thank you.
Valvatorez: Okay then. That'll be 1780 HL. By the way, would you like to use our microwave?
Gargoyle: Huh?
Valvatorez: If you have any baby food that can be microwave, you can use our one. It's best to look after a baby at all cost.
Gargoyle: Oh… then please do.
After that,
Fuka: You really treat this job seriously, huh Valzy?
Valvatorez: Of course, lass. As a proud and noble demon as well as second in command here, I must ensure that all employees are well trained and all customers are well served.
It has been about 4 months since he arrived at Hades. Around that time, he works his way to pay rent and food.
When he applied to work for Hades, his work ethics were beyond the other employees. And due to his discovery on delicious and healthy sardine dishes, he was promoted to the highest rank before Boss Axel.
When the store is about to closed, Valvatorez and Fuka are the only ones left.
Fuka: Well, I better head home. It's not much but at least I'm surrounded by my adorable toys and candy land.
Valvatorez: I know. You said that to me every day.
Fuka: Huh… I guess I do. Well, you better hurry, Valzy. It looks like it's going to rain again.
Valvatorez: Rain, huh?
Earlier this morning, Valvatorez was on his way to work. It was raining but he had an umbrella. At some point, he came across a strange Prinny.
It was normal for Prinnies to work in just about everywhere in all weather but…
Valvatorez: Hey, you there.
Prinny?: Huh…Uh…Yes?
Valvatorez: Okay, two things. First, why are you here as if you're spying on something? Secondly, you have just broken Prinny Rule No.1.
Prinny?: Oh…I'm sorry, dood. I won't let it happen again, dood. I'm just here to observe the area… under my boss orders, dood.
Valvatorez: Is that so? Well, I apologize for my mistake. However, you still broken the very first Prinny rule!
Prinny?: Uh…What are you going to do to me, dood?
Valvatorez: Normally, I would make you start over at level 1 but since I'm late for work and you're not an employee at Hades, I suppose I'll forget about this. Just don't let it happen again.
Prinny?: Understood… dood.
Valvatorez: Here. I think you'll need this.
Prinny?: A… sardine …dood?
Valvatorez: Consider it as my apology. Eat sardine everyday! You won't regret it!
And he rushed to Hades in his bike.
Prinny?: … …
Valvatorez remember all that (Without the last part, of course) and can't help but feel that something strange about that Prinny… and he works with Fuka.
Valvatorez: No use thinking about it.
Valvatorez was about to head home. But when he got on his bike, a mysterious figure was stalking him.
Valvatorez: If you want to kill me, you should learn to hide your presence. Reveal yourself!
Prinny?: It's so nice to see you again… uh, dood.
Valvatorez: You're not a real Prinny, aren't you? I have never come across such a well-mannered Prinny before. In fact, you don't have even the slightest demonic aura. Who are you?
Prinny?: That's not important. I'm here because I need to see the boss of this diner.
Valvatorez: Boss Axel? He's not here at the moment. In the meantime, I'm in charge of Hades. So, what the matter?
Prinny?: Oh, nothing much. It just that you people owe Celestial money.
Valvatorez: Huh?
Prinny?: 421652 HL for the usage of Celestial rental kitchen stoves. 549812 HL for the shipping of ingredients from Celestial. Lastly, all of the rentals, bills and damage coverage. So that makes a grand total of 3819056 HL you owe us.
Valvatorez: That's a little too precise, don't you think? But I'm assuming that you're from Celestial.
Prinny?: That is correct.
Valvatorez: However, I have no intention of paying you without Axel's approval.
Prinny?: The money will increase by 1 % if you haven't paid over 1 year. This has been approved by the founder of Hades. Since you haven't paid for over a 400 years, I have orders to take back the money immediately.
Valvatorez: If that's how you want it, then I have no choice but to use force.
Valvatorez and the Prinny fought. Valvatorez did not get hit whatsoever. Every slashes he make only cuts a part of the Prinny hide.
In the final slash, the hide was completely ripped off and came out a beautiful angel with pink hair.
?: Phew… I suppose it's not easy to fight in such a stuffy suit. I'm not that good with swords either.
Valvatorez got completely stunned by her presence.
Valvatorez: Wh-What are you doing here? I-I thought you died. Artina…
