Chapter 3:
After some time, the group becomes restless. Having waited quite a while already, Sadao and his closest friends all start to suspect that Chi has ditched them and that this interaction was a waste of time. But soon, out of the corner of his eye, Sadao sees a short, brown haired girl wearing the most magnificent dress that he has ever set his eyes on. It has white and blue frills wrapped around the chest line, which moves down to reveal a glittery blue skirt, which contrasts her brown eyes perfectly with the setting. The fabric is even covered with exquisite flower patterns stretching throughout the sides and top areas. Sitting on her head is the cutest little blue bow.
Bewildered by the sight, Sadao doesn't know what to think, thinking that if he spoke his words would get all jumbled up inside his head. Emi immediately realizes what Chi is trying so desperately to accomplish, but wouldn't tell him anyway. She wants to see how this will all play out, having been invited as well as everyone else here.
When she finally joins their shaded spot by the entrance of the park, her content smile turns into a kind of disappointed frown. Underwhelmed by the sudden appearance of all her other companions, Chi thinks of actually leaving them behind, since there would be no way of getting with Sadao Maou alone anymore during this trip.
Started to feel sick from the tension, Sadao escapes to go to the bathroom. During his short absence, Chiho tells everyone present that this was supposed to be a date, and that she needs for each of them to create their own excuse for why they must leave so suddenly. After the whole group decides on what they are going to say, they wait patiently for their friend to return. When Maou comes back, he asks them to stick together and enjoy this time together. "I want for all of us to ride the same rides and try the same foods. That way, it's as if we all had the same experience." Seeing how excited he is for this event, the group decides to endure this arrangement for a while longer.
After they were finished with a amusement rides, feeling the butterflies fill up inside them as they ascended higher, then screaming out of joy and pain as the metal car jerks itself along the track, they go around, ordering food from various food courts available.
Once they are full and exhausted, each of them prepares to slip away from the situation, having read Chi's deliberate hand signals pointing toward the exit. Emilia starts up the conversation by stating, "Gosh, those celestial energy drinks sure messed up my stomach pretty good. I'm going to have to hang back since I'm not feeling so well." Having given her well crafted excuse, Justina gives a sly wink and limps off. Then Suzuno comes up with the next one. "I don't appear to have dressed accordingly to this special event. I'll be back shortly after I change into something more... fun."
After saying what she needed to, she proceeds to slip away from them as well. Next is Hanzo, having found the strength to speak again. "Man, something's been bugging
me all morning. I must have left my computer on when we rushed over here. I've got to go back and switch that piece of junk off. Wouldn't want to pay twice the
electricity bill, now would we?" Not trying at all to create a cover-up for his
disappearance, he sprints out of the park before being spotted again.
Last to go is Shiro, who can't stand leaving his master's side, but knows its for a good reason. "Lord Satan.. I mean Sadao, I'm sorry to inform you that our land lady just called. She said that i've left the tap water running for quite some time now. Sorry to disappoint you sire, but this is urgent." Then Shiro briskly walks toward where he parked, feeling ashamed for acting this way, even if it was staged.
Stunned by the sudden loneliness formed by losing almost everyone close to him, Sadao sets his eyes back on Chi. Comforted by her familiar presence, Maou thinks, "At least she stayed by my side..." Having successfully gotten rid of everyone, Chi twiddles her thumbs nervously and begins to talk directly to Maou. "So.. now that its just you and me left, what do you want to do?" Embarrassed by her sudden closeness, Sadao shifts backward and says, "Well... um... we could try the carousel for starters." Unsatisfied by her friend's answer, Chiho leans in closer and holds her hair away from her face, showing off her shining eyes and cheerful smile.
Not yet noticing what she is clearly asking, Sadao gets up and walks toward the place they agreed on going. Desperate to salvage the situation, Chi grabs onto his arm silently, pulling him back roughly, but affectionately. As soon her fingers touch his skin, he feels an electric shock throughout his entire body. When she lets go finally, he feels as if he's missing something that was long needed. Chi speaks up suddenly, "I'm going to call someone real quick, then we can continue... whatever this is to you." What she really wanted to do was talk to Emi privately so she can figure out how to win Satan over for good.
