Nothing much to say but tell you guys I am getting close to my goals. Today, Elsea and Mari are out of the house and Sean is doing his final investigations on Earth. Once he completes his investigation, he will move on and work more on the Mai High Festival until Sean can find the entrance to hell. Now, let's begin.

Three of a Kind

Earlier today, Elsea and Mari went out shopping for supplies, just as they thought they ran out of supplies. Sean on the other hand left early that morning to do an investigation. The three left a note saying they won't be back till later this afternoon. Unfortunately, the one who managed to see the notes first was Haqua.

"Elsea, isn't home... why? She's out although I came here to hang out with her..." She then sat down on the nearby sofa which was quite comfy.

"But it seems that Elsea... who seemed depressed before has cheered up." Good observation skills. Haqua can tell by her hand writing that she has cheered up by the way.

"I also have this depressing feeling! That a Weiss could be this strong... I wonder... if we can handle those that will come." Haqua has to admit that her confidence has dropped when they fought a level 4 Weiss. But it was not only her, all of the other squad members also dealt a blow to their egos when they couldn't handle the situation... at least that's what Sean thought when he felt his fist impact the monster.

"Oops, no good, no good! We have to do it!" To her however, duty comes first before worries. She will make a great leader one day.

"Ah ah! Is there nothing enjoyable today?" Haqua asked herself as she walked outside and noticed someone. She saw Tenri holding a box of some sort.

"Hey Tenri, hurry up and let's go to Katsuragi-san's house. There's nothing to be embarrassed about." Diana encourages the shy Tenri even though she's still a bit awkward about this.

"Today, you're just giving him a souvenir from the trip with your family. It's fine to walk through the gate without hesitation!" Diana pointed out as if this was normal but to the awkward Tenri, this was something she cannot fully accomplish by herself.

"Yes!"

"If I go to the store, It'll end without meeting Keima-kun... and it should be fine to just hand it over to his mother..." Tenri thought.

"You shouldn't just hand it over and leave!" Diana pointed out as she easily read her mind.

"Eh!" A moment of awkward silence later.

"There's no need to knock. This is a store!"

"I, I know!" This is certainly getting us no where.

"This one is definitely... that strange girl from that time..." Haqua doesn't seem to completely remember her but she knew that she has a Goddess in her. As she thought that, rattling could be heard and Keima reading the paper that she herself just read.

"H-Hello... I'm Ayukawa..." Tenri came in just in time to meet with Keima.

"Tenri." Keima noticed her much to her surprise.

"I... I met with him after all..." If Sean were here, he would have been encouraging Tenri as well, sadly he isn't there to support her.

"Where are El-chan, your mother, and Sean-kun?" Tenri asked trying to make an excuse for herself.

"No idea... they are not here right now." Keima informed which made things awkward for her.

"What is that box? Again magic tricks...?" Keima asked staring at the box.

"Th-this is a souvenir!" Tenri shoved the box to Keima much to Haqua's surprise.

"B-Bye..." Tenri was about to leave when Keima called out to her.

"Tenri!"

"Hau!" She was still not used to people calling her name out.

"Can you call Diana out?" Keima requested much to her surprise.

"I'm quite worried... I thought I would get released if I continue with the runaway spirit hunt but... the new devils alone... don't seem to suffice to reach the ending...I want to borrow the strength of a Goddess. Please let me speak with Diana." While they were talking, Haqua was eavesdropping on them.

"You finally... wish to cooperate with me..." Diana seemed to be happy that Keima finally accepted, Sean already had a head start with the hunt without telling the two but Sean has gotten thus far by just observing his surroundings.

"Well then... let's head to the Narusawa City Amusement park right away." Diana ordered much to Keima's surprise.

"Again! An amusement park!" Of course she would have no idea that Keima has already gone to an amusement park with Elsea.

"To the place called Desney Sea, you know it right?" Diana asked.

"Is this place somehow related to this?" Keima asked seriously.

"To a great degree! We can't talk... unless we're there." She answered with equal seriousness.

"Then, I will leave for a bit to get ready. Please wait for me!" Diana ordered as she left immediately.

"Eh?" This left Keima confused.

"Hey! Where are you going!" Keima demanded to know but to no avail.

"What's with her..." He asked himself as he turned around to find Haqua.

"H... Hi..." Well this is awkward, we'll skip it then.

"Sheesh, Katsuragi-san... I even told him that he shouldn't speak about Goddesses with Tenri. This one perhaps...?" Diana quickly changed clothes for the date, that's when she made the switch with Tenri.

"Tenri, that fits you quite well." Diana praised.

"Di-Diana, what're these clothes for? Is anything wrong... at Desney Sea!" Tenri asked worried as Diana replied that there was nothing to be worried about.

"Aah, but I should say this... you and Katsuragi-san can go on a date now, right?" Diana asked Tenri earning her a flustered face.

"It also seems that the ever happy Elsea isn't around either. Only the two of you will go to the amusement park! I'll hide for the time being... so please enjoy your time with Katsuragi-san and have some fun." She told her but Tenri felt that this was wrong.

"So... that you would talk with him was a lie!" Tenri asked disbelieving.

"Of course I'll speak with him afterwards... but we can't let this opportunity slip away!" Diana gripped her hand to show her determination.

"Spend the time together with him... and strengthen your bond, understood!" She ordered with a demanding voice which scared Tenri.

"Diana you're scary..." She said hiding in her magic box.

"You two won't make the slightest progress when I don't do that!" She complained.

"This is the devilish plan of a Goddess! Prepare yourself... Katsuragi-san!" Diana will regret the day where she wanted for Keima to be prepared.

*Back with Keima*

Haqua was telling Keima that she wasn't hiding or eavesdropping on them outside. She also stated that she came here just for Elsea and informed him that since she wasn't here she was about to head back. However, Keima wasn't listening to her at all. That's when he got an idea and turned to make eye contact with her.

"Haqua, would you go to the amusement park with me, if you have time?" Keima asked with a straight face which silenced Haqua.

"Eh...? A-Amusement Park!"

"To Desney Sea, in Narusawa City. Let's go together." He insisted as Haqua turned to collect her thoughts.

"Ah, I see! Elsea will come with us as well!" Haqua came to that conclusion but Keima pointed out that she wasn't present today. "And I prefer you!" He added making Haqua flustered.

"Prefer me? What is going on! What in the world is going on!" Haqua was flustered and confused at the same time. Keima on the other hand was contemplating about their talk with Diana and needed someone, other than Elsea, to help out for their knowledge of hell.

"Hey are you listening!" Keima asked as Haqua was confused and responded with an "eh?"

"I-It's unfortunate but I don't have that much free time! How about going alone!" She said flustered as she flew away.

"I'll be in Desney Sea so if you change your mind, come please!" Keima told her as she flew away from him.

"I won't! Why should I meet you there!" Haqua remarked as she went leaving Keima to meet up with Tenri and go to Desney Sea.

*Desney Sea*

"The third time this month... how often do I need to come here? If a game you can easily go to the amusement park... but in the real world it can't be helped that it consumes time and money." Keima remarked as he couldn't help but hate 'the real' as he calls it. Tenri on the other hand draws the Japanese character 'Go' on the palm of her hand to summon some courage.

"G-Gomenasai Keima-kun... that Diana said those selfish things..." She said while following suit with Keima whose still playing his PFP.

"You also have it tough. Always getting dragged into everything..." Keima said with pure thought and worry for Tenri. Tenri was still flustered since this was the first time they went on a date, alone together. However, that alone time would be ruined because of Haqua's appearance.

"Ka... Ka... Katsuragi!" She called out as Keima turned.

"I-I-It couldn't be helped... so I'll hang out with you!" She told him embarrassed as she looked away from him.

"Eh..." Of course Tenri was surprised to meet with her.

"Ahh, you came." Was all Keima said as Haqua was also surprised to meet up with Tenri.

"This will make talking things through easier." Keima said as the two girls look at each other.

"Then, shall we go?" Keima asked as he was immediately grabbed by the collar.

"Don't you 'then, shall we go me!'" Haqua was the one holding him.

"You told me that we should go to the amusement park together... you invited me! Why is there a third person involved!" Apparently, he did invite her but Keima didn't tell her who else would come. Also, she didn't ask if they were going alone in the first place.

"Of course she is here... we can't begin to talk without Tenri not here, right?" Keima answered a but confused himself.

"Katsuragi-san! What is this new devil doing here!" This time it was Diana's turn to get mad on him as she drags him by the ear.

"Even though Tenri and Katsuragi were finally alone... now my plan is ruined!" She yelled while pulling his ear way up which was very painful to Keima.

"What's wrong with you girls! We're now speaking about Goddesses, of course!" Keima snapped and flailed his arms around so that the girls would stop their assault. "So I called Haqua. We need someone who knows a lot about hell!" He added.

It took a while but the girls are still mad, Diana refused to talk as Haqua just followed along angrily. They took a seat near a cafe where the park's mascot came and asked them if they were having a good time which they obviously weren't. This caused the mascot to be dejected and walked away. As the girls were about to leave, they are going to meet with a little surprise.

"Ah! I knew that there was something funny about a certain guy playing a PFP while dating two girls drinking at a cafe." They turned to a mysterious boy who was fashionably dressed. He wore a barret on his head while wearing sunglasses. His hair which color is raven was spiky and messed around his head making a puff like effect when you see him. He wore a black jacket over a blue shirt reading 'I love NY' on it. He also wore blue jeans with a chain sticking out of his pocket which is also connected at his back pocket.

"Who the heck are you?" Haqua asked as the boy laughed a bit and removed his glasses.

"It's me, Sean!" Well that was surprising.

"SEAN-KUN!" Apparently, it was too surprising.

"Whoa everyone, Im'ma not deaf. I can hear ya just fine~ So keep the volume down, chill!" He said taking a seat across them.

"Never figured you were the type to dress like that, Sean-kun." Keima pointed out as he was still freaked out by his sudden transformation.

"Oh, that's 'cause Hikari and Mana wanted to meet up with me here! We had a lot of fun going on the rides and eating a few of the parks specialties~! But they have no chance against my Sunday Special~!" He said proudly which helped brighten the atmosphere a little.

"Ke-Keima-kun, would you go to buy some juice? I will try and pursuade Diana in the meantime..." Tenri whispered to Keima as Sean was confused why they were whispering.

"I'll go buy something for you, Haqua. So don't go home!" Keima yelled as Sean can clearly see that she was getting angry.

"So... what happened with your companions?" Tenri asked as Sean nodded.

"They just right up and left me here once they were called out by their respective group. Mana had to go to Interpol and do a report while Hikari was called by her father to do more trainin' it was quite the bummer too! So I was all here by me measly self when I spotted the mascot looking down and talking about you three. That's when I figured that he might've been talking about Keima-san!" Sean informed them a bit too eccentric and out of character.

"So, enough about me. What are two fine beauties like you hangin' out with Keima here in Desney Sea? He already went here last time with Imouto-san to help her cheer up and all~" Sean asked as the two looked down.

"Well it doesn't matter, I will hafta go anyways~!" Sean stood up, that's when Diana came out and grabbed him by his sleeves.

"Where are you going?" She asked with a serious tone.

"I'm going to my investigation, I'm about to end my work here on Earth. Then I will have enough time to search for you're other sisters. Just like I promise~!" Sean cheered happily as Diana blushed a bit.

"Oh... well go on ahead then." As Diana let go of his sleeve and turned, Sean puts his hand over her shoulders and cuddled her, much to the girl's surprise.

"I know you miss them, don't worry, leave them to me~! I will definitely have you all reunited~" Sean told her with a calm and soothing manner that it only made Diana's face go red even more.

"Enjoy you're time here you two~! Also, please go and look for Keima-san now! He's probably playing some games at a stand!" Sean then immediately ran and left leaving a trail of thus in his stead. The girls stood up and looked for him only to find him easily at a shooting stand.

"Hu hu hu... clearing this was child's play!" Keima exclaimed while holding a lever-action shotgun.

"As long as it fulfills the requirements of saving a woman... even a shooting game such as this classifies as a galge!" Keima exclaimed shooting down more villains.

"He's playing again..." Tenri pointed out, she has gotten used to Keima being like this.

"What happened to getting some juice!" Haqua asked to no one in particular but she was really angry with him.

"Games are the best thing in this world after all!" Keima exclaimed while taking down another villain.

"Even though I want to quickly get home and play... I did say that we should get straight to the topic and talk, I get the feeling Sean-kun is better at this." Keima thought as he couldn't help but think Sean has more control in situations like these than he was.

"Haqua and Diana... are extremely egoistic! Why are those two unable to get along? They even get me involved!" That's because you're completely at fault this time, Keima. But of course you wouldn't notice it.

"Hey, wait a minute... ah... now we are the bad ones!" Haqua was gritting the chair so hard that it could be heard breaking.

"What an insensitive man..." Haqua turned only the find an angry Goddess.

"Katsuragi-san... really deserves some divine punishment. Haqua-san! You musn't head back. Going back would not trouble Katsuragi-san. Let's put our differences aside, and discipline Katsuragi-san!" Diana offered getting close to Haqua.

"Eh? Di... discipline? What?" Haqua was a bit confused but understood her message as they went to get Keima.

"Okay, I've got the hang of this! The next one will be a perfect round!" Keima proposed as he clenched his fist.

"It seems you're enjoying yourself..."

"How nice for you, Katsuragi!" The two girls grab each one of his hand which caught him off guard.

"Wha, what! Don't touch me!" Keima complained as he struggled to no avail.

"Haqua and myself have calmed down."

"Let's take our time to talk!"

"But before we talk..."

"You have to go on a date with us!" The two ordered as they dragged him along.

"A date! Why!" Keima asked shocked.

"I don't want to either!" Haqua complained.

"We only intended to show you plenty of the real world, Katsuragi-san." As soon as he heard that from Diana, Keima quickly escaped and tried to ran away only to be caught by Haqua.

"You won't get away!" Using her Hagoromo to tie him up, the three began to go to all of the rides of the park completely enjoying themselves except for Keima who was dragged into this against his will.

"Slash Canyon! Hey, could we ride that next!" Haqua asked as Tenri didn't mind and Keima just stayed quiet. They then finally get a turn on the ride and got to their seats.

"It's my first time in an amusement park, but it's actually quite fun!" Haqua cheerfully pointed out as Keima looked down.

"Waah~, we're going up the water path."

"This is called a rapid slide." Tenri informed her.

"Humans create some really interesting things." Haqua said with excitement.

"Your name was... Tenri? Are you enjoying yourself too?" Haqua asked her since she's been with her in every ride with Keima.

"Y, yes... I've... never hung out with such a number of people like this before..." She said a bit shy which made her cute as well.

"Shouldn't we let Keima-kun go?" Tenri asked as Haqua immediately denied her request.

"We have to make him suffer!" Spoken like the true devil she is, Keima is really suffering. He immediately stood up and glared at Haqua.

"Hey real! Don't just think I'll always come along with whatever you do!" Okay, now his blaming a real woman in the real world of his demise? That's quite real as it gets I think.

"I will... begin my search for the Goddesses... and head to the ending in one go!" Keima declared surprising the two girls.

"I met two of the girls... that I had captured." When Diana heard of this she immediately switched with Tenri.

"Tell me in more detail please! Sean wouldn't give out more information about my sisters!" Diana informed them as Keima knew Sean didn't like to get people involve in his work.

"They could remember a part of the capture... however, I doubt that there's a Goddess in either of them." Keima then explained about the two girls and left out a vital part of Kusunoki's memory which Sean manages to salvage for her.

"So the Goddesses should either confront me directly and wish to receive information from me... or they became alarmed and try to stay away from me as much as possible like Diana... there's nothing else besides those 2 options." Keima was completely right about that, they did try to avoid Keima and pretended to continue with their normal lives. This caused for Sean to have a hard time figuring them out and had to start with the basics then to the more complex observations.

"Kusunoki nor Mio did anything like that... and that means that they have no Goddesses within them." Keima informed them as this information would have been vital to helping out Sean as well.

"Goddesses? The thing we spoke about before? You believe in that Katsuragi!" Haqua asked disbelieving even though she just got along with one herself.

"I can't believe in everything that was said in this kind of conversation with so many uncertainties either!" Keima spoke out which really annoyed him, without any strong facts to support his hunt, things are going a bit out of hand for him... but he doesn't have choice on the matter.

"But I will make it clear, if there's a Goddess or not in one go!" Keima declared.

"In one go... is that possible?" Diana asked as she couldn't trust with Keima's methods.

"There's a great event for this. An event where you can naturally get in contact with a great number of girls... where also people who don't belong to school can enter freely..." Keima then took a deep breath as he is about to reveal his plan.

"I can check on all the girls I've caught so far easily during the Mai High Festival!" He declared causing the to be stricken with awe.

"Ah! Don't run away!" Haqua yelled as Keima made a run for it.

"The Mai High Festival only last two or three days*. I want to use that time efficiently. Diana, Haqua, come to school campus in Maijima as well!" Keima declared as the two girls look on.

"If we find a Goddess, Diana can get in contact with them and instantly make them into our companion! And Haqua will use her skills that hell won't find out about our actions!" With this, things will go smoothly for him as he looks for them.

"Using my skills? What!"

"Even if you say this to me without even making a proper plan..." They couldn't continue because they have already reached the top and had a ride of their life.

"The Mai High Festival... this will be a challenge..." Keima hasn't been in this kind of challenge for a while now. The only real challenge he had was Sean who constantly got in his way of gaming and forcing him into the real world. For him, things might get messy and even a little mistake may jeopardize his plan. On the other hand...

"It seems there is no longer any useful information I can get from this place..." From a distance unseen by the eyes of man because of thick vegetation, Sean was doing his investigation.

"It couldn't be helped, this place has destroyed most of the evidence, however, because it was abandoned it became easy to excavate inside." Along with him are the manifestations of his possessors who have gotten strong enough to have an ethereal body.

"However, to find this much evidence in this dump... you're quite the persistent bastard, Sean." Lucy praised as Sean was pissed about that.

"Yeah, yeah I know. So far, I've only extracted information about how this old base of theirs was used as a transmitter of special electromagnetic waves for their other members... but to think it can even affect worldwide is unheard of. How did they even send out messages without 'the world' knowing?" Sean asked himself as he went outside the tunnel.

"Who knows, the technology of New Hell is foreign to us old devils. In fact, I'm surprised they have gotten this far even though they are low in energy." Manny pointed out as they are outside Mt. Fuji.

"But still, to think that they would collect Special Humans for their cost. Will they stop at nothing to return to the old ways?" Sean asked as he punched the snowy ground.

"It couldn't be helped, we didn't even know that they went this far to collect them all. In fact, I wouldn't be surprised if this place was a prototype of their 'Soul Plant' that they blindly wish for," Ramon said with rage in his voice.

"Black Wing, to be the first generation of mass producing negative energy... to blindly lead us to our doom... I-I cannot tell anyone about this! I won't tell a single soul about this until we've ended this investigation!" Sean declared loudly as the others nodded, they all knew that this place was their only evidence on Earth. Now they just need to make a connection with Hell.

"I won't let this happen to anyone ever again! I swear it until the day I die!" With his oath to the wind reaching as far as it could be heard, the ruins of the Black Wing Organization Base lies in ruins as the winds blow down and reclaim the cave entrance and cover it with snow once again.

"Let's go! We will have to hunt for the Goddesses now... I made a promise to Diana that I would!" Sean turned as the others re-enter Sean's body. This caused for him to return into his primal state of having raven hair, red-eyes, and Fallen Angel Wings. Nothing out of the new changed, this may prove to be good or bad, but that is a question for another time as we live for another tomorrow.

To be continued...

Finally, I've gotten this done and about! I can finally relax a bit and plan out the next chapter which is the Sports Festival~! I hope you will like it and please give me some reviews on what you think. See you later~!
