In the café in Kichijoji…

"Well, now that I'm done eating the chocolate mousse cake and drank the cup of green tea, I'm going to the restroom to clean up now, Akira." said Mallory as she stood up from her seat.

"Yeah, I can see that you do and I'll go with you, Maly…" said Akira.

"No, it's fine. You stay here and wait for me and I won't take long, Akira." said Mallory as she raised her left hand to caress Akira's cheek gently.

"Alright, I'll wait here." said Akira as he slowly nodded at Mallory and enjoy the feeling of Mallory's hand caressing his face and watched as she turned and went toward and entered the restroom to clean up before he saw 3 guys (Kenny, Estes and Paul) and a girl (Ariana) that he recognized as the ones who randomly showed up to talk or help Mallory when she's alone for the past few months went into the restroom too, which make Akira feel suspicious about them and worry about Mallory before he stood up and follow them.

Meanwhile…

After Mallory's done washing her hands with soap and water in the sink before wiping her hands dry with tissue papers, she stepped out of the restroom, bump against someone before she look up and saw both Kenny and Estes standing in front of her.

"Oh! Hello, Kenny-san and Estes-san and what're you two doing here…" said Mallory in confusion to them.

"What're we doing here, you ask? Simple, we're here for you, Mallory Caelum, the poor human girl who's unlucky but strong enough to be the host of Lythalia, an "Old One" like us." said Estes in calm amusement to Mallory.

"W-What? You're joking, right…" said Mallory as her face slowly turned pale with nervousness and fear at what Estes said to her. "Oh no, they know!" added Mallory in fear in her mind.

"Oh no, Estes… or rather B'gnu-Thun isn't joking and he's not a joking type, neither do I, Ghatanothoa and Kassogtha, little girl." said Paul emotionlessly to Mallory.

"Yog-Sothoth's right. Now you're coming with us because we've waited more than long enough to get you and we're not listening and waiting another, host of Lythalia." said Ariana impatiently to Mallory before she and Kenny approach and grab hold of both of Mallory's arms only for Mallory to turned and try to get away from them but got her path blocked by Estes and Paul before they grab her shoulders, push and pinned her against the wall.

"Those names, aren't B'gnu-Thun, Ghatanothoa, Kassogtha and Yog-Sothoth some of the names of the terrible "Great Old Ones" or "Outer Gods/Deities" that's written and exists in H.P Lovecraft books? I thought they're not real…" thought Mallory as she glance in more nervousness and fear at Estes, Paul, Kenny and Ariana before she push her feelings of nervousness and fear away and try to pried herself free from their firm grips to no avail. "Let go of me and I'm not going anywhere with any of you, no matter who and what you all are!" snapped Mallory in anger at them as she kept on struggling.

"Oh, we're real so you better start believe in us and the stories written by H.P Lovecraft instead of denying them, little girl. And whether you want to or not, you're coming with us because you're ONE OF US and also… stop struggling and be quiet, will you?" said Paul/Yog-Sothoth coldly to Mallory before he raised his left hand and backhand Mallory's face hard, which make Mallory gasp and winced in pain from Paul/Yog-Sothoth slapping her and ceased her struggling.

"Hey! That's no way to treat a girl or a lady and unhand my girlfriend and step away from her now, all of you!" snapped Akira in anger at seeing Paul/Yog-Sothoth slapping Mallory and that she's being held and pinned by both Paul/Yog-Sothoth and Estes/B'gnu-Thun before he told them to unhand Mallory after he showed up and saw them.

"Akira! He's here… No, he can't be here because if Paul-san and the other three are what they say they are then any one of them will easily kill him without blinking! Get away now, please, Akira!" thought Mallory worriedly in her mind when she (and the others) see Akira.

"Oh yeah? What would you know about how to treat any girl or lady right and there's no way we're letting this human girl go just because she's your girlfriend and you told us too, little boy." scoffed Kenny/Ghatanothoa in disdain at Akira.

"Plus if you knew what she actually is, you'd immediately leave her and run screaming for the hills without hesitation." said Ariana/Kassogtha mockingly to Akira.

"Although if you wanted to know, you can always find and read H.P Lovecraft books…" suggested Estes/B'gnu-Thun.

"Hold on. I think I've a much better idea and it'll be a lesson for her too. A lesson that she'll never forget." said Paul/Yog-Sothoth as he briefly glance at Mallory with a cruel smirk on his face.

"What're you going to do?" said Mallory in nervousness and fear at Paul/Yog-Sothoth.

"What're you all talking about?" said Akira in confusion at what he heard from Kenny/Ghatanothoa, Ariana/Kassogtha, Estes/B'gnu-Thun and Paul/Yog-Sothoth before he gasp and widened his eyes in surprise when he saw Paul/Yog-Sothoth suddenly disappear and reappear in front of him, raised his right hand to grab Akira's neck and easily lifted him up from the floor and Akira started choking and felt his body started to turned pale and wrinkling up while his hands try to get Paul/Yog-Sothoth hand off his neck to no avail.

"No, stop it! Let go of him!" yell Mallory as she struggle to break free from Estes/B'gnu-Thun grip to save Akira but to no avail again while Estes/B'gnu-Thun watched in silence and both Kenny/Ghatanothoa and Ariana/Kassogtha watched and chuckled in joy.

"Oh, I will if you agreed to come with us, host of Lythalia. If you do then I'll let him go and his life will be spared. The question is, how much do you cared about him to agreed to it, hmm?" asked Paul/Yog-Sothoth as he glance calmly at Mallory (who fell silent and glance in fear at Akira, who's now turning even paler and weaker now before she look down at the floor).

"… Alright, I'll go with you all. There, I agreed so please let go and spared Akira's life now!" said Mallory anxiously to Paul/Yog-Sothoth.

"You will? Excellent! See, that wasn't so hard, right?" squealed Ariana/Kassogtha happily at Mallory agreeing to go with them.

"Indeed. Wise decision from you and I'll spared him now." said Paul/Yog-Sothoth proudly at Mallory before he let go of Akira's neck and make him fell to the floor.

After Paul/Yog-Sothoth let go and drop Akira to the floor, Akira cough and catch his breath while rubbing his sore neck with his left hand and his pale and wrinkling body slowly turned back to normal and the last thing he see before he passed out is Paul/Yog-Sothoth, Estes/B'gnu-Thun, Kenny/Ghatanothoa and Ariana/Kassogtha surround and grab hold of Mallory and disappear from his sight.
