The next day

Akechi: WOW, was that all a dream?

Akechi wakes up and thinks that everything that happened yesterday, his arrival in hell, Summoning Loki and almost killing two people was a dream until he sees his feathered hand.

Akechi: It seems that it was not a dream, I better go out and continue investigating this place

Akechi picks up his sword and phone, hides the food he bought in case someone comes and goes out to investigate hell, and ends up tripping over a white she-wolf.

Wolf: Watch where you're going

Akechi: Sorry, hey, where is there a library?

Wolf: And what the hell do I know, get lost and go to hell, idiot

Akechi: You the same, bitch!

The wolf was furious and turned to attack him, but he left

Wolf: Where did he go?

meanwhile elsewhere

Octavia wakes up butwhen she did she saw that she is in a strange place,which looked like a cathedral with the walls covered in blue velvet.

Octavia: W-where am I?

?: Oh, you've already woken up

Scared Octavia: Wh...who said that?

Song: Aria ofthe Soul

Octavia saw a smiling man with a long nose accompanied by a white-haired girl in a blue dress.

Scared Octavia: Who are they?And why was I kidnapped?

Girl: Quiet, don't jump to conclusions

Big-nosed man: You can rest easy, I'm Igor, the master of the Velvet room.

Girl: And I'm your assistant Lavenza

Octavia was scared

Scared Octavia: Why did they kidnap me?How did they do it without my parents finding out?

Igor: Calm down, we didn't kidnap you, your high spiritual sensitivity brought you here, to the place between the conscious and the unconscious.

Octavia was now confused

Octavia: What am I here for?

Lavenza: To warn you that if you don't awaken your power soon, both your world and the human world will go to ruin.

Octavia: What?What power are they talking about?

Igor: Soon you will find out.Now come back

Octavia: No, wait

Igor made a clicking noise and soon, Octaviawoke up

Octavia: What the fuck?!

Octavia saw that she was in her room.

Octavia: Velvet Room, Igor, Lavenza, my power?

Then she realized her parents weren't arguing

Octavia: That's weird, my parents aren't arguing, I'd better investigate that boy's abilities.

She is determined to investigate about the People and Loki, she goes down towards the entrance until she is called by her parents.

Octavia: Good morning.

Stella Good morning daughter

Stolas: How are you daughter?

Octavia: Well, I'm going to go out to the library for a while.

Stolas: Actually, we don't want you to go out these days.

Octavia: What?Why?

Stella: Didn't you see what that boy did to us yesterday?!He almost killed us both with that creature.We won't risk doing anything to you

Stella in her mind: Even though I wish she'd kill that asshole Stolas

Octavia: Yes, I saw him, although they must recognize that he had the right to defend himself after what dad will try to hang him

Stolas: I was not going to allow him to hurt my daughter.

Octavia: He didn't hurt me, he just bumped into me.

Stolas: The point is that you will not leave the palace.

Stella: I have to go out to an important meeting.

Stolas: And I'll go get the book and collect

Stella, will you sleep with that commoner again?

Stolas: So what?

They both start arguing again, while Octavia goes to her room.

Octavia in her mind: Oh no, they're arguing again.But that won't stop me from investigating

Octavia waited a while after her parents left, then went out to the library.And while he was going there, he saw something that caught his attention

Octavia: A butterfly

The blue butterfly flew past Octavia and left, she was amazed at its beauty

Meanwhile, Akechi arrived at a library, grabbed some books, and began to learn things about hell, how it is divided into 7 circles, each one representing a deadly sin.

Akechi: Just like Dante, I better grab another book

Then when he reached for another book, he saw a familiar face on the other side.

?: So Loki is the Nordic god of lies and mischief, I found something, but what is "Persona"?

Akechi in his mind: It's... the owl girl from yesterday

Akechi was about to leave without being seen by her, but ends up tripping over a chair and falls, drawing Octavia's attention.

Surprised Octavia: You again?!

Song: Suspicion

Akechi: Oh yeah

Furious Octavia: What do you want from me?Do you want to kidnap me or kill me?

Akechi: No no, I came here to investigate hell

Octavia: Don't you know what hell is like?Wait, are you a sinner?

Akechi: It can be said that yes, besides you can rest easy, I will not do anything to you

Octavia: I see, well, leave me alone, I'm also investigating something.

Akachi: Okay.

He was leaving until he stopped

Akechi: Ah, my name is Goro Akechi, and I'm sorry I almost killed your parents yesterday, it was my right to defend myself

Octavia was not going to forgive him, but she understood.

Octavia: I understand, my name is Octavia Goetia

Akechi: Nice name.Well Octavia, I hope we cross paths again.

Octavia blushed at what he told herand went back to her investigation.

Octavia: He seems to be a nice person, but what bad thing did he do to end up here?

Unbeknownst to her, Akechi lingered in the library for a while longer.Octavia realized that it was late and ran towards her house.Behind her was Akechiwho saw her get out of it, but she saw three guys behind her following her, so she follows them

Akechi in his mind: I better stop those guys from doing anything to Octavia wait, why do I care about her?the only person I care about is Ren (I don't mean in the gay realm)

Octavia was near her house when two imps and an anthropomorphic dog appeared (Similar to a scene from Death Note where Light writes the name of his second victim)

Song: Tension

Imp 1: Hello precious

Concerned Octavia: What do you want?

Dog: We were wondering if you want to have a fun time with us?

Octavia knew what they meant, so she tried to run away, but one of the imps stopped her.

Octavia: No thanks.

Imp 2: Come on, it'll be fun

The imps grabbed her by the arms and the dog was taking her clothes off

Scared Octavia: No, stop... Please help me

?: Wow, what is this?

The imps, the dog and Octavia saw that that voice came from Akechi

Octavia: Akechi, please help me.

Akechi: That looks nice, I'll join

Octavia was devastated to hear those words

Octavia: What, you can't do this to me.

Imp 1: Shut up bitch.as you like friend

Akechi approached and saw Octavia's tears welling up.

Octavia in her mind: I knew I shouldn't have left the palace, I shouldn't have disobeyed my parents

Akechi: But first there is something I want to say

Devil: What?

Akechi:I'm doing this alone!

Akechi drew his sword and ran through one of the imps, killing it.

Song: Awakening

Imp 2: Dude!

Dog: You are a bastard!

The dog hits Akechi, and Akechi looks at it

Akechi: Now you will see the strength of the former detective prince.Person

Octavia: Detective Prince?and that word again

Akechi summons Loki

Akechi: Loki, use Desperation

Loki casts that spell and Akechi's strength increases

Akechi: Take this.

Akechi throws several sword blows at the dog, and leaves many wounds

dog: ouch

Imp 2: dodge this

The other imp tries to attack him from behind but Loki uses Maelga and leaves him weak on the ground.

The dog saw that Akechi put on a sadistic smile and approached

Dog: What are you?

Akechi: Your executioner, Loki, Maragion

Loki used that fire spell and burned the dog, killing it, the other imp was terrified

Imp 2: No please, I won't do it again, let me go

Akechi: Loki, usa ..

Octavia: Wait

Akechi: ¿Eh?

Octavia: He's suffered enough, let him go this time

Akechi: Ummm, normally with the enemy I have no mercy, but being you, I'll let him go...

Imp 2: Thank you very much.

Akechi: Only if your Octavia hits it

Octavia: Fine.

Octavia hits the demon pretty hard, leaving it sore.

The imp limped off, leaving Octavia and Akechi alone.

Akechi: That was pretty intense.

Octavia could not believe what happened, Akechi, even after committing double homicide, continued as if nothing had happened,although deep down, she was grateful to him.

Octavia: What happened?!

you did the same thing as yesterday

Akechi: This time I did it to protect you, if I hadn't followed you, those guys would do unimaginable things to you

Octavia: Still, you shouldn't have killed two of the 3.

Akechi: Life taught me that with those kind of people they deserve death

Octavia was surprised by what he said until she remembers something

Octavia: What's that for Person?

Akechi: Ayy...How do I explain it to you?...I know.A Persona is the manifestation of an individual's personality and can help you in combat.

Octavia: The manifestation of the personality?... oh dear!I have to get home before my parents arrive

Akechi: I can accompany you if you want

Octavia: Really?

Akechi: Yes

Octavia allowed Akechi to accompany her, but on the way they didn't know how to break the ice.They were already near the palace, and Octavia checks the time on her phone, until...

Octavia: How weird?

Akachi: What's wrong?

Octavia: I uninstalled this application but it came back

Akechi: Let's see

Octavia shows the app to Akechi and he is surprised to see it.

Akechi: It can't be!

Octavia: I'm going to open it to see what it is.

Akechi: Don't wait.

Octavia pressed and watched as circles appeared around

Octavia: What's wrong?!

Akachi: here we go
