"Talk"

'Thought'

"Sorry we couldn't take you anywhere fancy, but it's a bit difficult for us to get into places since, well, we're Devils."

On a nice sunny day, at some random park, Kobeni Higashiyama could be seen sitting on the park bench, enjoying ice cream. She was also surrounded by some familiar-looking Devils, who were all enjoying the sweet frozen treat. Specifically, there was Galgali, the Violent Devil; Beam, the Shark Devil; Princi, the Spider Devil; and lastly, Angel, the Angel Devil. It was their turn to look after the pregnant Deviltrix host. However, the one in the mask couldn't help but feel slightly guilty for not being able to take the shape-shifter somewhere more appropriate instead of just being at the park.

"It's fine, what we're doing now is just as fun."

Luckily, Kobeni didn't seem to mind what they were doing. In fact, she actually quite enjoyed it, loving how everything was so peaceful and relaxing for her. It was definitely something she preferred over what she usually experienced as a Devil Hunter.

"I agree, doing nothing but sitting around and eating ice cream is the best."

Angel also agrees with Higashiyama, even though he doesn't show much emotion. He certainly enjoyed the ice cream he was eating, taking advantage of the chance to do absolutely nothing and not work so hard.

"That's just because you're lazy, Angel."

Princi sighs and shakes her head, no doubt slightly miffed at the Angel Devil's laziness. However, she said nothing more than that, more focused on her job of looking after the Deviltrix host, all while also eating her own ice cream.

"I wanted to be with my Lord Chainsaw…"

Beam couldn't help but be the only one to whine and pout about being here, which did earn him a kick to the head by the Violent Devil.

"Don't be rude to our 2nd Boss!"

Galgali quickly scolds the Shark Devil for his rudeness.

"Lord Chainsaw? Do you mean Denji?"

Though Kobeni looked more confused than offended by what the Dogfish Fiend said.

"For some reason, he thinks that Denji, more specifically his Devil side, is some kind of "Supreme Overlord" that should rule over all of Hell."

Princi was able to explain the situation to the shape-shifter and help her understand what was happening.

"Oh? Is that actually true?"

Kobeni couldn't help but be a little interested and curious about this now.

"I wouldn't think too much about that, every Devil claims to be the King of Hell, or whatever, Beam is just the unfortunate few to believe it."

Princi reassures, as well as letting Higashiyama know that what the mako head said was probably nothing important.

"I don't understand the appeal of becoming a servant or king, sounds like too much work to deal with."

Angel went to lick his ice cream again, but he seemed to lick it a bit too hard, as it resulted with the ice cream falling off the cone and onto the floor.

"Oh…"

Angel now wore a disappointed frown, obviously upset to have his treat ruined, which the Deviltrix host saw and felt bad for.

"Would you like the rest of mine?"

Kobeni offered her own ice cream and was about to hand it over to the Angel Devil, immediately catching not only his, but everyone's very worried attention.

"No Wait Don't Touch-!"

However, just as Angel was about to stop the shape-shifter from touching him, it was too late as her hand had just touched him when handing him the ice cream.

"-Me?..."

Yet, as soon as Angel touched Higashiyama, he immediately noticed something was off, which very much confused him once he realized what was wrong.

"How is your lifespan unlimited?"

What Angel said next definitely surprised or shocked the others, clearly wasn't expecting to learn this unexpected information.

"Oh, well, it's because my life is connected to the Deviltrix, so as long as I wear it, I can't really die from your touch."

But Kobeni just shrugged it off, seemingly getting less and less surprised by her own abilities and such when it came to her Deviltrix.

"Huh…"

But that didn't stop everyone, especially Angel, from suddenly being more interested in the shape-shifter.

"Poke."

Though it seems that Angel was the only one to follow through with his newfound interests by suddenly poking Higashiyama cheeks, which confused her.

"So that's what fat cheeks from a living human feel like."

"F-Fat Cheeks?!"

Before Angel could continue to enjoy the feeling of touching the chubby cheeks of a very embarrassed Kobeni, who was upset from being called fat, he was quickly interrupted when the masked man smacked the back of his head.

"You Too! Stop Being Rude!"

"If you wish to feel someone, just touch Power or Denji, or any other Fiends and Devils."

Both Galgali and Princi attempted to stop the angelic redhead, but he simply ignored them and wrapped his wings around the Deviltrix host, bringing her closer to himself.

"No, I prefer to touch Kobeni instead."

Once close enough, Angel wasted no time nuzzling and cuddling the shape-shifter, who could only let out a sigh of defeat.

"I should've just lied about my infinite life…"

But as Kobeni was just about to just call it a day and go up, the hellish heavenly once again spoke up and said something to catch her attention.

"Make a contract with me."

After Angel said this, Higashiyama immediately looked at him with a surprise expression.

"Huh?"

Kobeni clearly didn't understand why she was offered such a thing, and was even about to question why, but she was quickly interrupted again by what he said next.

"Once a week, you will allow me to touch you for 1 hour."

Angel made his halo move and expanded/opened it very wide before the Deviltrix host.

"In exchange, I'll make you any weapons you desire."

The shape-shifter looked inside Angel's halo with an overwhelmed expression, able to see all the different types of weapons available within the golden circle. Once the offer was made, the Angel Devil extended his hand, offering it to her. She hesitated, looking at the offered hand.

"Deal?"

Soon, the sun was setting, and the moon was rising, as day became night. During such late hours, a certain two could be seen walking together.

"Ugh… If I'm gonna be Makima's partner, I need to learn to say no to my employees…"

The certain duo being Kobeni, who looks very exhausted and defeated.

"At least you made friends with Angel, not a lot of humans can do that."

And Galgali, who was doing his best to comfort Higashiyama.

"Also you got some new weapons from him because of it, ain't that nice of him?"

Galgali was trying to find the upside and pros of the Deviltrix host new friendship contract, one of them being her getting new weapons, which she had hidden in a random grocery bag.

"At the cost of being touched…"

Kobeni rubs her temples and eyes tiredly, not really sure if she was going to handle her new contract.

"I'll be sure he doesn't touch you inappropriately."

Galgali reassures and promises the shape-shifter that she will be okay as long as he is around, which does make her look at him with a now curious expression.

"... Why are you nice to me?"

Kobeni decided to ask him something that had been on her mind for a while, namely the reason why the Violent Devil was so sweet and comforting to her.

"Ah, well, I guess it's all thanks to what remains of my human brain~"

Galgali nervously chuckled as he rubbed the back of his hooded head, as if pointing out where his messed up brain was at.

"Despite my Devilish name, I do prefer love and peace instead of all this violence I give out."

Galgali even admits to being someone who supports non violent actions, which contradicts his Devil-like nature.

"A Devil that wishes for something as nice as that, well, I guess I've seen weirder."

Kobeni couldn't help but giggle softly to herself from such an idea.

"Speaking of which, sorry for my team's behavior, specifically Beam and Angel."

Since they were having a conversation, Galgali decided to take the chance to apologize on the behalf of his teammates.

"It's fine, I've met worse."

To which Kobeni waved off the apology, even if what Beam and Angel had said or done had either confused or upset her, she wasn't too bothered by it, and was even used to dealing with worse.

"But you're definitely not one of them."

And Kobeni also decided to take the chance to return the favor of both comforting and reassuring Violence Fiend.

"R-Really?"

This definitely made Galgali happy to know he wasn't considered as worse as any other Fiends or Devils.

"Mhm, I hope we can hang out again soon."

Kobeni gave the masked man a warm gentle smile, if he wasn't wearing said mask, his blushing face would've been exposed.

"W-Well, I look forward to that then, hehe~"

Both Galgali and Higashiyama continued to have such a lovely conversation together, all the way until they arrived at their final destination, which was the home of the Deviltrix host.

"Thank you for walking me home."

Kobeni bows and properly gives her sincere gratitude for the help and kindness of the Violent Devil.

"No problem, I hope you have the best rest of your night~"

Galgali also bowed and accepted the thanks, as well as giving his final farewell to the shape-shifter.

"You too, Galgali."

With nothing more to say, the Violence Fiend started to walk away, waving goodbye towards Kobeni, who waved back, though as she was watching him leave, she couldn't help but think about something that suddenly came to her mind.

'The list of those I have to protect continues to grow.'

Kobeni, while being in somewhat deep thoughts, turns and opens the door of her home.

"I SMELL THAT A FUCKING DEVIL TOUCHED YOUR CHEEKS!"

"Who Did It! Was It That Violent Dude?! I'll Kick His Ass Right Now!"

And was immediately met with very jealous and upset Denji the Chainsaw Man and Power the Blood Devil, but despite such overreacting expressions, Kobeni couldn't help but smile softly as she was clearly happy to see them here before her and in her life.

'I'm happy to have such important people in my life~'

Not a lot, but consider it a sneak peak, I'm not sure if Kobeni would get along with Beam or Princi, but in the future, a new friendship will blossom with Galgali and Angel~... NO ITS NOT A HAREM, at best the romance will only be with Denji and maybe Power!

(Since we didn't get a lot from Angel Devil in the manga, just small moments, I've decided to add some more characteristics to him, I hope you don't mind that~)

Usage: Kobeni Years: Angel Devil, using some of the unlimited lifespan that Kobeni gave him, was able to make her a special Gun and Knife that can only harm those she view as "Enemies".

(Ex Info: Himeno is also immune to Angel Devil touch, because of Ectonurite have a different definition of "Being Alive")
