Chapter 14
A short time later…
D'angelo called upon Suiryu, Junpei and his brothers. It was rather out of the ordinary for him to call all of them at once to the studio so it must be serious. They sat and waited for him, a Junpei began to look himself over. "I think I am back at my normal size again… I mean… had I not had that behemoth blood in me, I would have been a pancake…"
"You're not wrong on that…" Suiryu muttered. "Still, what the hell were you thinking getting behind him like that?! He would have done that first thing if you looked the way you do now! I'm sure Sukuna would have been scraping you off his back for a few days…"
Everyone shuttered.
"Dude, what is with you…" Noranso asked.
Suiryu did appear rather… distracted… almost down in the dumps in a sense, and yet, no one knew or understood why. He sighed aloud to it all. Perhaps he and Nobara had a fight?
However, Tanso has his creatures everywhere, if there was something wrong, he would know, but none have relayed anything back to him. Still, Suiryu was down, but not saying as to what.
He sighed to it all as Suiryu rested his head on the table. "What do I do now…" he said.
"Okay, what the hell is with you?" Junpei demanded. "This is SO not like you at all, so what gives!"
Suiryu peered at him, he sat himself up and took a deep breath. "Simply put… I'm in a rut."
The brothers paused.
"A rut?" Eso asked. "On what?"
"What to do to Sukuna! I mean, I am running out of ideas as to how to torment them. I could do it physically but Yua said no, mental on the other hand, does a LOT more damage and is more scarring than that of physical pain… so… what do I do with him? What do I do TO him?" he asked curiously.
'That's it?' Tanso asked as the words etched into his skin.
"Well… yeah,"
"UGH!" the brothers moaned. "We thought you and Nobara had a fight or something!" Sanso snapped back. "Don't scare us like that."
Suiryu was about to snap back when D'angelo came into the room. "Okay darlings sorry to keep you waiting…" he then paused as he looked to everyone in the room. "Before we move forward, I want to know… is everyone still… okay with me?"
The room paused oddly. "What?" they asked in a concerned tone.
"I mean with me being… a divine user… are you guys comfortable with that?"
The brothers peered at each other oddly. "We never had an issue with you, also your familiar saved my life. The basilisk anti-venom came from him." Junpei stated.
Tanso froze, as did the others.
"You saved little brother's life?" asked Kotsuso.
"My familiar did. Rufus."
"We have no objection to you" the brothers called.
"You saved one of them, you get the whole package deal." Suiryu said with a smirk on his lips. "So, this meeting, what's up?"
D'angelo sighed. "Well, truth be told, we are doing charity events. We have asked celebrities to pitch in and give back to the communities through these events, however, the one that draws the most funds, attention and quite frankly is most popular is the…" he showed them the flyer.
Suiryu peered it over but smirked. "Really?"
"No one wants to do it this year. So, I was wondering, would you guys be interested?"
Tanso didn't quite understand it, however, that evil look on Suiryu's face only grew. In fact, it was down right sinister.
"Oh… I am SO doing this… in fact… I think I'll bring some extra help along…"
D'angelo suddenly froze slightly in terror. "Uh… I don't know about you guys, but I got a chill…"
"No, we got it too… he has something sinister in his mind, but you know what. This does look like fun, do you guys want to do this? Also what charity are we helping?" Junpei asked.
"Well the celebrities get to pick. So whatever cause you guys believe in, the money you raise will go to that."
Interesting, Tanso turned to Junpei who appeared to think it over. "How about the money we raise goes to help sick children and their families?" he asked aloud.
"Oh, that's a good one!" said Shouoso.
"I agree," said Eso. "What about you, Suiryu?"
However, that evil look only grew on his face. How is it that Suiryu can become even creepier as time passes? Either way, Tanso was curious as to what they would be doing, it's strange and yet it oddly looks like fun at the same time…
"How about we shoot the commercial for this now? I take it wardrobe is ready?" Suiryu asked.
"In fact it is…" D'angelo stated. "And I think you got an idea for the commercial in mind don't you?"
"Oh hell yeah. You guys wanna help me with this?"
The brothers smiled and nodded. Junpei was already rolling his eyes to it all…

A few days later…
Yua was watching TV when an odd commercial came on. Suiryu was in it and yet, it only showed the front of his face. "Every year, we in the entertainment industry like to give back to our fans in various ways. As such there is a charity event happening next week, different events run by different celebrities, I, Ryomen Sukuna will be participating…" he suddenly paused, his demon eyes shifted to his right and then he turned and glared. "OH HELL NO!" He protested.
The camera turned, and it was the Death Paintings… in maid outfits!
The funny part about the commercial was Suiryu storming over… in a maid outfit as well. "What? It's our thing!" Junpei protested.
"I DIBBED this first! I'm doing a Ryomen Sukuna maid café, you can't take that!" he protested.
"There can be more than one!" Eso stated.
"Nu-uh!" Suiryu said adamantly. "I dibbed this FIRST… no copying me!"
The Death painting sighed until, someone put cat ears on Junpei. The brothers turned and found Tanso wearing cat ears and had cat mittens on his hands. "Meow" came out of him.
"Oh right he can mimic animals he has as familiars…" Yua snickered.
"Damn, I want to do a cat maid café!" Suiryu protested.
"DIBBEDS!" the Death paintings snapped back.
"Damn it…" Suiryu turned back to the camera. "Well… there you have it. The Death Paintings will do a cat maid café. I, Ryomen Sukuna will be doing just a maid café… tickets are going on sale soon, and also we will be doing a draw for our super fans who give back to the communities on a daily bases!"
When the commercial ended, Yua turned to the news… apparently these ads have been airing since yesterday. There are lineups outside of the charity that is running the events. However, they were quick to sell out. But there was a waiting list in case of a cancelation or even if they are able to do more if possible.
"I wonder who is going to help Suiryu with his maid café…"
All she knew was Suiryu would find 'volunteers'.
