The Festival Begins: A Rare Artifact
Soon, the festival began and everyone was enjoying their time. Over on the other side, an event was taking place and Y/N and the others watched.
Y/N: So, what is this, anyway?
Millie: It's the Pain Games. Every Harvest Moon Festival, the Pain Games take place and it puts Hell's toughest and baddest through a series of games to test their limits.
Y/N: Oh, like the Olympic Games?
Millie: Huh?
Y/N: The Olympic Games. It's a series of games that puts people to the test. Their stamina, strength, etc. They're all tested through a series of games.
Millie: Oh. Yeah, something like that.
Y/N: And by the looks of things, Blitzø has joined the fun. And Striker, too.
Loona: Indeed.
Y/N: *yelps* Loona! Goddamnit...
Loona: Geez. Jumpy much?
Y/N: Sorry. Where were you?
Loona: Just looking around for something. Couldn't find anything that piqued my interest. Well, besides you.
Y/N: *blushes* Hehehehe. Thanks.
Millie: Ya know, I wanna go ahead and say that you two are abso-fucking-lutely cute and adorable!
Y/N & Loona: We're not cute! Or adorable!
Millie: Says the couple that just said the same thing.
Both Y/N and Loona looked at each other and blushed.
Loona: ... S-So, how are you enjoying this so far?
Y/N: Well, I'm still not accustomed to Hell's taboos, but I'm managing. Pretty soon, I'll be handling this like a pro.
Loona: Good to hear. Still, it is a shame that you didn't join the games. You would be spectacular out there.
Y/N: As flattered as I am, I'm not into games where people are allowed to hurt each other and cheat to win. I'm a fair game guy.
Loona: N/N, in life, there's no such thing as fairness.
Y/N: Maybe not, but I still believe in it. Besides, if there is no fairness, then what's the point? There's going to be a problem. ... I'm sorry. I'm still trying to understand.
Loona: I know. And I'm sorry. But, don't let this affect your thinking.
Y/N: *sighs* Way to use my words against me. But, I'll try.
Loona: Okay. I love you, babe. *kisses Y/N's cheek*
Y/N: I love you, too.
They went back to watching the games continue. After a while, the games ended, but the festival continued. Y/N took the chance to look around the place for something, but he ran into Stolas.
Stolas: Oh, N/N. What a surprise. Are you looking for something?
Y/N: Um... A-Actually, now that I have you, I need your help with something.
Stolas: Sure. What is it?
Y/N: Listen, I want to make this date special between me and Loona. That's why I wanna get her something. Something that nobody else has given anyone.
Stolas: Well, that's impossible because there's hardly anything that nobody has gotten.
Y/N: What about a rare something that only appears on a special occasion or something?
Stolas: A special occasion? I don't... Hold on... I think I know something.
Y/N: Please, tell me. This is important.
Stolas: Um... Let me think... On a night like this, there is a 50% chance that a crystal flower will emerge from the ground and shine throughout the fields as the full moon shines upon it. Again, there's a half chance of this happening. Good luck. You're gonna need it. *walks away*
Y/N: A crystal flower that shines on the light of the full moon... And Loona's beautiful like the moon and the night starry sky! It's perfect! ... *sighs* Luck, huh? Well, I must be pretty lucky for that to happen.
He then walked away where no one can see him, but unknown to him, Blitzø noticed as he was talking to some imps and followed him outside the festival. After a while, Y/N stood there and sighed as Blitzø watched.
Y/N: ... So, what do I do? Just wait? I don't know how long I have to wait.
When the sky was close to nighttime, a star shined as Y/N continued to sit there and sighed.
???: You seem to be troubled.
Y/N looked up and gasped when he saw M/N. Blitzø also gasped as he saw her. He pulled out his phone and recorded everything.
Y/N: Mom! But, I didn't call for you.
M/N (Angel): The rain falls when it may, N/N. You seem to be troubled. What's wrong?
Y/N: ... Well, I'm on a date with Loona...
M/N (Angel): Oh, I know about that. Come on.
Y/N: ... I really wanna get her something special to show her how much I love her. However, none of the things here in Hell have spoken out to me.
M/N (Angel): Aren't you being a little... possessive about this?
Y/N: What do you mean?
M/N (Angel): You're one of the people that has everything, but somewhere in your heart, it's telling you that's saying that it's not enough.
Y/N: Mom... I love Loona. And I wanna prove to her that it's not just the words that speak out. It's the things you offer one another.
M/N (Angel): ... Hehehehehe. Nothing gets past you, son. I've taught you too much.
Y/N: Yet you still love me.
They both laughed.
M/N (Angel): Yeah, that's true. ... Anyway, I heard what Stolas said and... I think I can help out with that.
Y/N: You can?!
M/N (Angel): Who do you think is responsible for these rumors that go around in Hell? Not Lucifer.
Y/N: ... *gasps* No...
M/N (Angel): Oh, yeah. You think God's not paying attention to what's going on in Hell? Come on. I know where the crystal flower is.
They both walked into the field of crops and Blitzø followed them.
Y/N: You know, after everything that's happened, I'm surprised you're okay with me and Loona being together.
M/N (Angel): Why wouldn't I be? Demons are not as demonic and heartless as people think they are. If anything, they're like humanity, but more demonic and powerful. They're misguided and lost. But, with the right care and attention, they can become as pure and innocent. Like me. I'm the perfect example of what happens when demons do what's right.
Y/N: Yeah, but... Nobody around here wants to do the right thing.
M/N (Angel): Maybe so, but you may never know. Not many demons are like that. Like me.
Y/N: ... Y-You think it's possible for... Loona and the others to be like you?
M/N (Angel): That's their decision. You can't change who they are, but you can continue to love them and support them. It's up to them whether they want to be different or not.
Y/N: Right... I understand...
Blitzø: *whispering* Unbelievable. I thought N/N told me M/N was a hellhound, so how the fuck is she an angel all of a sudden?
He continued to follow Y/N and M/N. After a while, they got to the open field and M/N approached the field.
M/N (Angel): Stay here. Watch this.
She then spread her arms open and her wings sprouted from her back. She began to chant a foreign language and all of a sudden, a light began to shine from the red sky and onto the ground in front of her. After a while, M/N was finished and panted.
Y/N: Mom! Are you alright?
M/N (Angel): Yeah. I'm fine.
Y/M then looked ahead and gasped as he saw a crystal flower shining.
Y/N: Is that...?
M/N (Angel): Yes. The crystal flower. It's known as the Mangetsu.
Y/N: Mangetsu?
M/N (Angel): On Earth, it's Japanese for "Full Moon". Take good care of it. It's fragile.
Y/N walked to the flower and slowly and gently pulled the flower from the ground. Blitzø stared in awe.
Y/N: ... *smiles* Thanks, Mom.
M/N (Angel): No problem. I love you. Take good care of Blitzø and the others, okay?
Y/N: Sure.
They both hugged and M/N vanished into thin air.
Y/N: ... Blitzø, I know you're there! Come on out.
Blitzø: What? How'd you know I was here?
Y/N: Your aura, Blitzø.
Blitzø: Oh. Wait, you knew I was here and you let me see the whole thing?
Y/N: Yeah. This flower, Blitzø. This is the thing I need to enhance our relationship.
Blitzø: ... N/N, if you do this, there's no turning back. You know that, right?
Y/N: So? I love Loona more than anything in existence! Of course I don't want to turn back. All I care about is making Loona happy.
Blitzø: ...
Y/N: Blitzø?
Blitzø: *smiles* My daughter's lucky to have you, you know? Thanks for doing this.
Y/N smiled and nodded. They both then walked back to the festival and Y/N hid the flower in his jacket.
