So uh... that thing in the last chapter with that old man, I... long story short I made a bet and lost and... nevermind.

It comes as no surprise that Striker is a girl and is also part of the harem, so... and turns out Striker canonically hates sex jokes so... yeah.

Also, I was thinking of doing a reader fanfic at some point with both Hazbin Hotel and Helluva Boss at some point, but not right now. If you're interested, you can follow me on Wattpad... if you're reading this AO3, then subscribe to me.

With that all said and done, hopefully there aren't any more interruptions.

Bonnie: ... What's the Wi-Fi password?

*Slams door* No more interruptions.

Where are we now? Oh right.

"And this is where you will be staying." Lin says while showing Minato to one of the guest bedrooms.

"Huh, neat." He says while holding up his suitcase.

"It isn't too small for ya, is it?"

"Nah, it's fine. We're not gonna be here long anyway."

"Still joining the Pain Games?"

"Thinking about it. At least get to see the competition to see if they're worth beating down."

"Okay." She chuckled for a second. "Ya know, you remind me of ma husband back then."

He chuckled back. "First time I'm hearing that."

"I'll leave ya to get ready. Don't make a mess now."

"I won't."

As Minato walked inside, he suddenly jumped when he felt a slap on his ass. He turned around, only seeing Lin leaving, knowing who the only suspect could be. He shook his head while closing the door then dropped the suitcase on the floor.

"Swear, Hell is full of milfs and cougars." He says before sitting on the bed.

He didn't mind the hospitality or that they were fine with him being around, but he still was a little on the fence with how they were treating Moxxie. Strika seemed pretty cool though, he was slightly looking forward to seeing what she could do, or maybe if she would put up a fight.

(Sometime later)

Every imp possible was gathered around the front of a stage, a banner saying 'Harvest Moon Festival' hosted atop it. The boy with his other two coworkers went into the crowd, getting some stares being that went completely ignored. Strika walked up beside them, giving the boy a wink as she did which he just chuckled at before rolling his eyes when he saw Wacky Walford get on stage.

"Welcome, I say, a-welcome to the Wrath-e Ring's Harvest-a Moon-a a-Festival!" He says which made the boy cringe a bit. "To kick things off, we have the great prince Stol-As! Here to usher in this here pain game." He says before Stolas walked in and took the microphone before lauhging a bit.

"How kind Wackford." He says into the mic while Yamato walked up beside him.

'Hi dad.' Minato mouthed quietly while waving while his father waved back discretely.

"Greetings, tiny Wrath Ring imps. I'm here to welcome you all to another of celebrating the spoils of your labor that continue to feed the citizens of Hell." He says, sounding completely scripted.

During his speech, Minato looked at the tent he left and saw Octavia shyly peeking out of the tent, finding him in the crowd. He gave her a small wave which she smiled and waved back.

"I'm happy to kick off the start of these games that will challenge the toughest imps to show their skill and dominance. Good luck to all you all! Especially that sexy little one there." Stolas then says as Blitzo cringes. "Yoohoo, Blitzy. ~" He then says seductively which makes Octavia cringe before going back into the tent.

"Ahem. Your highness, please." Yamato says.

"Right, of course. Be careful not to die out there. And now a word from Hell's most recent overlord, Yamato." With that, he handed the microphone off to the other demon.

"Thank you, Prince Stolas, it is an hour. Now as previously stated, these games are made to challenge your bodies and put them to the test and of course, due to the incident last games, you can and may lose your life in these. However, there will be no biases. We won't be picking favorites for the winner... that includes you too, Minato!" Yamato called out before the crowd started to wonder who he was talking to.

"Come on, really, dad?" Minato muttered to himself.

"Please, what was said to me was more embarrassing." Blitzo complained.

"I'm sorry, that's your dad?" Strika asked with a raised brow.

"Yeah, ever since he died, Stolas has hired him as a sorta bodyguard for special occasions." The boy explains.

"I see."

"Now everyone, the first game will be a race to the finish and will begin in about a minute, so I ask that you take your places at the starting line which is just over there." Yamato explains before pointing in the direction. "Good luck out there."

He put down the mic and stepped away from the front as everyone left for the starting line. Minato took a glance back at the stage and saw his father and the prince talking, which he rose a brow to but shook his head before continuing.

"Sir, with all due respect, the way you spoke in front of the audience was highly inappropriate." Yamato tells him.

"I understand that, but it's nothing to worry about." Stolas says.

"Sir, I know they're imps, but I still wish for you to at watch what you say, especially in front of so many people."

"I... appreciate your concern, Yamato."

They then left the stage as everyone got in their places at the start of the line, all pumped up and ready to race. As soon as Minato stepped up, a buff looking demon stared at him.

"Da fuck's that thing?" Said demon says to himself.

I figure that demons in the other rings don't know what humans look like.

"The same thing that you don't wanna fuck with." The boy says back to him.

"Oh, little shit wants to talk big shit, huh?"

"Heh, nah. Just sayin'."

"Saying what?" The demon asks, not getting a response. "Hey, dipshit! I'm talking to-" As soon as the gun fired, everyone took off, leaving him behind. "*COUGH*! HEY!"

"That's what you get for running your mouth instead of feet, dumbass!" The boy called back.

"OH YOU MOTHERFU-!"

His voice soon became inaudible, Minato simply laughed to himself and continued running. He wasn't going so fast that it was unfair, but he was able to keep up with Blitzo easily.

They came up to a ramp that was meant for an obstacle, but it wouldn't be much. The boy simply smirked before running up ahead, doing a small jump, then sprung up flipping over it. However, as he landed, he nearly fell into a ditch that had water in, catching his balance before the shark in it almost got him.

"Shit!" He says to himself.

He starts moving as he saw Strika climb up and Blizto going over her before she got down with ease. He was about to make some kind of taunt before he heard screaming and saw Moxxie getting attacked by the shark, causing him to stop. He went back to get her, making the other two imps look at him in puzzlement.

Minato grabbed ahold of the shark and hinged its jaw open, pulling the small imp out.

"You good?" He asked while holding her.

"Ow..." She says as other competitors were passing them.

"Can you move?" He asked again.

"Yeah, I'm fine." She says while standing up, shaking.

"Ya sure?"

"I said, I'm fine!"

The stubborn imp says before she went running. He just shook his head before he started running again to catch up.

(Next game)

Strika had Blitzo tied up while some guys were giving her creepy stares. The buff guy from the beginning of the race was ready to do the same with Moxxie. She closed her eyes in anticipation, before hearing some yelling before it was muffled. Once she opened her eyes, Minato was sitting atop of the now tied up buff dude, bored.

Sallie May watched with her own victim, giving him a seductive stare along with some other demons watching while her sister-in-law sighed in disappointment. The boy sighed while putting a hand on his head.

(Next game)

This game was tug-a-war. Moxxie, Blitzo, Strika, and Minato were on a team in that order. The snake imp looked back with a smirk before the game started. Once it did, Minato barely had to do much and was able to help pull the other team down but causing Moxxie stumble and for him to save her from falling in as well and get mauled by the same shark.

(Next game)

Next up was some kind of wrestling match or something.. Almost every demon came after Minato, but they didn't even get him to flinch... or move at all as he knocked them all down with ease.

"Oh-" That same buff demon walked up while cracking his knuckles. "I've been waiting for this moment to kick you a-"

He didn't finish as Minato just kicked the guy's knees apart, then crotch shot him, causing him to scream like a girl before falling to the ground. He looked bored before seeing demons hop off of a dizzy Moxxie. She looked up, seeing the stupid shark back again ready to slam her.

"MOTHERFUCK-"

Minato quickly grabbed the shark by its jaw, hands on the upper and lower part of its mouth, before ripping its head off. He then looked down at Moxxie.

"T-Thank you." She says while getting up and running off.

"That girl is too stubborn." The boy says to himself. "Okay, anyone else?" He called out.

"Me." He heard before he was suddenly swung off his feet and slammed to the ground by the one and only, Sallie May.

"Okay, that's on me." He says while getting up, only to be wrestled right to the ground. "Shit, you're strong."

"I've been doin' this for years." She says before he tried again, only to get pinned down by her elbow. "I could teach ya a thing or two. ~" She then says seductively while leaning her face close to his.

Minato blushed a small bit. He had to come up with something, as she was stronger than he expected. He quickly looked over to make sure Loona wasn't watching, to which she was on her phone, but it seemed like she was recording to see him turn it around in his favor. Thankfully though, another Blitzo and Strika wrestling got in the way blocking him from sight.

'Here we go.' He thinks to himself before looking back at Sallie. "Sorry, gotta pass."

Then he swiftly moved his head and pressed his lips against hers. Her eyes widened in shock, causing her to lose focus enough for him to flip over and pin her to the ground before pulling away, leaving her dumbstruck.

"Sorry for that too." He says before using his arm to pin her down.

She grunted for a second as he looked over at the audience. Loona didn't appear to have seen it, thankfully. He smiled at first... before it dropped as he looked at Millie who was gawking. 'She' was the one who saw it.

She mouthed a 'what the fuck' at him. He looked down at Sallie who was still grunting a bit but appeared to be smiling. The boy sighed while rubbing his face.

(In the end)

"I SAY! I SAY!" Walford says on stage in front of the crowd. "For the first year ever, 'we' have a three-way tie for winner of the Harvest Moon Pain Games!" He says before Stolas takes the microphone.

"The winners are, Strika-" He calls as the imp walks on stage. "My daaaarling, Blitzy-!" He continues while Yamato face palms.

"Just say my name right! Fucking dick!" Blitzo says out of annoyance while walking up.

"And Minato!" The bird demon finishes as the boy walks up as well.

"Proud of you, son." Yamato whispered.

"Thanks dad." He says back.

He gave a look at Octavia in the tent and winked at her, causing her to blush. Meanwhile, on the bleachers or whatever the fuck they're called, Moxxie was glaring at Strika.

"Okay, she's stronger than me, I'll admit that, but I can do other stuff." She says to Millie. "I mean, I can sing. Like to see her try."

"I'd like to take this moment to sing a song I wrote just now about me winning." Strika then says while pulling out a guitar.

"OH, WHAT THE FUCK!"

"Ya mind, hon?" The snake imp says while looking at Minato.

"By all means, go ahead." He shrugged back before leaving the stage.

https://youtu.be/oPXJZf2WE5w

Yes, I'm to lazy to type the lyrics, sue me.

As she was singing, Minato and Blitzo left the stage. The boy going over to sit behind the M&M's and Loona.

"Hey, don't be too hard on yourself. Stuff like this happens." He tells Moxxie.

"I could handle myself." She mumbles.

"Oh, quit being a bitch, Mox." Blitzo says while sitting down with a stick of cheese. "Ya gotta admit, this girl is pretty great."

"False."

"It's gonna be nice working with her."

"Working with her?" Moxxie says as he took another bite with ketchup.

"Yeah..." Blitzo says before swallowing. "I asked her to join I.M.P."

"You asked... but..." Moxxie says before slumping down.

"Mox I think you had enough for now. Let's get back to the house and get ya clean." Millie says while giving her a sweet smile. "And maybe afterwards, we can have a little talk, with 'you'." She then says while glaring at the boy.

"A little talk about what?" Minato asked, obliviously.

"Well, to know why you were swapping spit with my sister for one." She then says as his eyes widened.

"YOU FUCKING WHAT!?" Loona shouted out of rage before the boy took off.

"... D-Did he actually do that shit?" Blitzo asked, curious.

"Moxxie, go fuck yourself. ~" Stirka says while singing.

The imp in particular became teary-eyed and ran off while Millie followed to take care of her.

As for the boy he looked back to make sure he wasn't followed and thankfully that seemed to be the case. "So much for that. Should've made sure Millie wasn't watching either."

Minato sighed before deciding to go to one of the food stands, buying a hotdog to enjoy. Right now, he wasn't thinking much about Loona finding out he kissed Millie's sister. Right now, he was thinking about how Strika was gonna be joining the crew.

As much as she would be helpful for the crew, he wasn't a fan of how she was treating Moxxie. Especially when he heard the line where she told her to go fuck herself, so he wasn't exactly too favorable to her. Even Loona and Blitzo wasn't that harsh on the poor girl, and he kinda wanted to strangle his own boss for doing this without asking the others.

"Hey, there he is!" He heard before seeing Millie's parents walk up to him. "I gotta say, not bad kiddo."

"Hey, it's uh... I haven't seen you since... before the games started." Minato says to them.

"Yes, well, congratulations on being one of the winners this year." Lin says to him. "It ain't too often there's a tie here, much less between three victors at once."

"Eh, the competition wasn't really much to be honest. Kinda disappointing if anything." He says before taking a bite of the hotdog.

"Still, that was impressive. You learned all that stuff in your world? W-What was it called? Dirt or something?" Joe asked.

"Firstly, it's called Earth. Secondly, yeah, pretty much. You should see my brother."

"Your brother?" The imp man asked.

"Yeah, trust me. Satoshi would kick my ass any day of the week."

"Is that right?" Sallie May says while walking up. "And where is he now?"

"Eh... on Earth. Didn't come with me." Minato says casually while stuffing the rest of his hotdog into his mouth. "But yeah, like I said. I'm a stick compared him." He then swallowed.

"Is that right?"

"Pretty much. I haven't seen him in a while, but-" Minato continued to say before he was suddenly picked up by his mother.

"Oh, I'm so proud of you!" Maria says while hugging him tightly, his head smothered by her cleavage while ruffling his hair. "My tough little man!"

"Thanks, mom." He says, muffled.

"Okay, honey, you can put him down now." Yamato says while walking over.

Minato gasped upon being released and set down. "Aye yi, yi." He says while rubbing his face in embarrassment.

"Sorry." Maria laughed before looking down at the imps. "Oh, hello."

"... Hi..." Lin says while stepping back a bit, nervously while Sallie stepped away.

"Uh... so, you're, the kid's parents, huh?" Joe says while nervously laughing. "Gotta say, I see where he gets his muscles from."

"Yes, well, he wouldn't stop bugging me to train him when he was a kid." Yamato says.

"Well, my pa always said better to train'em while they're young." Joe says.

"My dad used to say the same thing." Yamato says with a hearty laugh.

"He still does. He's been down here longer than us." Minato piped in.

"I hope the whole thing with us being overlords and all doesn't well... ya know." Maria says before clearing. "We don't want you to think that we're spoiled, selfish, power-hungry monsters and all."

"Oh no, no need to worry, we uh... nothing to worry about." Lin says quickly. "Your son was actually a big help earlier before the festival."

"Oh really?" The boy's mother says.

While they were starting to get into a conversation, Minato slipped away.

"Not into parent talk, are ya?" Sallie asked.

"Not really interested." He says to her while buying a cup of... hell juice? I don't know

"Well, in your case, good looks seem to run in the family." She chuckled. "That's not what I'm here to talk about though."

"What are you here to talk about then?"

"Maybe what you did back when I had you pinned to the ground and then you... ya know." She then says with a bit of side eye.

Minato froze mid sip before pulling away the cup. "Well, I mean... you... didn't expect that, right?" He chuckled a bit nervously.

"I wasn't... but I like that." She says with a seductive smile. "Maybe you could teach me a little something about that. ~"

"... Not exactly a teacher. Can't say I can teach ya too much."

"I'd like for ya to try. ~" She says while walking up to him, her tail moving up to brush against his arm.

He blushed before scratching the back of his head. "Maybe, I'll think about it." He says before stepping away. "I'm just gonna go check out..." He says before pondering his next words. "Enjoy the festival while it's still going on."

"Have fun with that."

Minato waved as he walked away before sighing and downing the rest of drink while turning around before nearly choking and dumping the cup in the garbage. He saw Octavia walking up to him. She looked out of place in her casual outfit.

"Hello." She says.

"Hi. Wasn't expecting to see you here." He says with her.

"Yeah, I know. I'm not exactly a big fan of this type of setting, but my dad figured I could use time outside of the house so..."

"Hey, no judge. A lot of parents say that."

"Do yours?"

"Of course, but... ya know, there's some exceptions."

"Gotcha." The owl girl says while brushing her hair back. "I gotta say, I did think it was kinda fun watching you in the games."

"Thanks, though again, not much competition. But ya know, it's still pretty fun. The most challenge I probably got was from the wrestling segment, happy I got rid of that stupid shark."

"Yeah, you pretty hot." She says before her face dropped and turned red. "I-I-I-I mean, the way you-the way you... uh, killed it was-was hot, not that you aren't hot, I-I mean, i-it's kinda hot in here-OUT HERE! I ugh... mmm, I was..." She sputtered.

They looked at each other for a moment before Octavia turned away while covering her face with her beanie, making some owl noise. Minato laughed before patting her shoulder.

"Take it easy. I know what you mean." He says to her. "Good to see you're doing well."

She lifted her beanie up slightly and gave him a small smile. He smiled back before he suddenly felt a presence behind him. He groaned before turning around to see Loona who was annoyed.

"Ah, geez. Hey, Loona. How's it going?" He says.

"Good..." She says through her teeth. "See you're having fun with the bird brain's daughter." She then says as Octavia seemed offended.

"We were just talking."

"After hearing about earlier, I have doubts."

"W-What is she talking about? Who is she?" Octavia asked.

"Uh..." Minato says before clearing his throat. "Octavia, this is Loona. Loona, Octavia. Uh..." He cleared his throat. "Loona here is... my girlfriend."

"W-What?" The owl girl says in disbelief.

"I mean, something like that, anyway."

"Something like that?" Loona says in annoyance.

"I mean it is technically like that, I mean..." He scoffed before shaking his head. "Do you want me to just tell her?"

"Just do it." She says out of annoyance.

"Okay, ya see, it's kinda like a... sorta... I'm dating more than one girl." He says awkwardly.

"... L-Like, a sugar mommy-" Octavia started to say.

"NO! NO! Nothing like that... You seriously know what that means?" He says before clearing his throat. "No, it's not that at all, it's more of a..."

"... Polygamy?"

"Pretty much, yeah."

"... uh... okay."

"Sorry, I didn't mean to ruin this." He says before leaned over at the hellhound. "Can we not do this right now?" He whispered.

"First, you just asked about adding those short stacks, and in the same day-" Loona started whispering.

"I know, but... this isn't necessarily a good time."

"When is a good time?"

"I don't know, after the festival with Verosika?"

"Verosika-!?" Octavia says in shock.

"SH! SH! SH! Not so loud!" He says quickly before looking around, seeing no one heard.

"Do you want me to talk to her about this?" Loona asked.

"What?" Minato asked.

"Well, you clearly can't talk to save your ass so..."

"Should I really be leaving you alone with her?" He asks as she furrowed her brow. "Just... don't do anything harsh."

"Relax, I won't."

He sighed. "Sorry, I don't mean to... bounce early but..." He says as Octavia looked a bit sad. "Ya wanna talk some other time?"

"... Uh... sure." She says.

"Just go." Loona tells him.

"Fine, fine." He says before he started leaving. "Bye."

"Bye."

He then walked away leaving the owl girl and hellhound with each other. The two looked at each other, the hound giving a bit of side eye. The owl girl looked nervous, rubbing her arm in anticipation.

"Okay, I'm gonna get straight to a point. Do you like him?" Loona says.

"Huh?" Octavia says.

"Do you like him?"

"What? I-I..." The owl girl stutters.

"You can tell me."

She bit on her finger, trying to think of something to say. "I-I kinda do... in a way."

"Okay, let's talk."

Loona then started leaving Octavia somewhere else. Minato watched and sighed before scratching his head.

'This harem thing is more stressful than I expected.' He thought to himself.

Strika's song had ended long ago, so he didn't find any reason to go back, and it seemed his parents were done talking with Millie's. He just decided to head back to the house, where Millie and her family were busy loading up supplies. He couldn't help but notice just how many brothers she had, before seeing Blitzo appearing interested in one of the horses.

"Hey, you're that guy, uh..." One of her brothers says before snapping his fingers. "What was it? What was it? Motano?"

"No, that's not his name, it's Mito." Another brother says to him as the boy made a hard fist.

"Oh, sorry, Mito-"

"It's Minato, but... just call me whatever you want." The boy says while looking annoyed.

"Right, uh... you wanna help out over here?" The brother then says while tossing a pumpkin into the back of one of their trucks.

"Nah, I think I'm gonna hang out in the guest room for a bit."

"Tuckered out from the Pain Games, are ya?" Lin says.

"Not really, just want some time to myself for a bit."

"Alright, go ahead."

"Ya need anything, you know where to find me."

Minato then walked by Lin, feeling a slight slap to his ass which made him look back slightly before continuing, barely acknowledging it. He didn't even think anyone else noticed it either, but he wasn't really focused on it right now.

While going through the hall, he quickly stopped and stepped back, staying hidden.

"I'd kill y'all, but I feel like there's more leverage with your boss if I don't." Strika says while standing above the basement doors which he rose a brow at. "Plus, you little things ain't worth the cleanup." She then shut it and put a stick through the handles.

There was a banging on the doors as she chuckled before walking away. The boy moved back further and held his breath as she walked by, staring at her ass in her ripped jeans before she went upstairs. He exhaled before running over to the doors, removing the stick, he was ready to open the doors, but stopped to listen in.

"Moxxie, I'm fine." He heard Millie's voice. "I got worse than this in the flower tuss in my brother's wedding. But I caught that fucking bouquet, and it was fucking worth it. You just have to get out there and fuck up that brown nosing cock sucker for me."

"But I can't break through it. I'm not strong enough." Moxxie's voice was also heard.

"Not with your hands baby. Use what your good at."

"I'm not good at my hands." There was a short pause where even the boy nearly face palmed at what he heard. "Oh, right. Yeah, yeah."

He then opened the doors and saw Moxxie holding a gun up to the window and Millie on the ground with her leg in a beartrap. They both looked up at him as he sighed.

"Ya know, it's hard to be really shocked after the tons of shit we went through with already." He says.

"Wha-What are you doing here?" Moxxie asked.

"Got bored and decided to come here. Caught that bitch earlier. Wasn't exactly a fan of her, but now I got a reason to actually hate her. Ya need help Mills?"

"I'm all good here. You two go on without me." Millie tells him.

"Ya sure?"

"I've been through worse. Trust me."

"Alright. C'mon Mox. Let's go."

Moxxie ran up to him before stopping mid-way up the stairs and held her gun up. "I probably should've used this earlier, huh?"

"Scatterbrain much?" Minato asked.

"I love you hon... but for fuck's sake." Millie also says.

She laughs sheepishly before following the boy out.

(Meanwhile)

"Okay, so, you get all that?" Loona asked.

"Uh... y-yeah, but... I-I don't know about being a part of this whole thing." Octavia says.

"Yeah, I am not the biggest fan, but I can't do dick about it. As much as I think it's stupid, I already fucked him... and a little into him, and I don't wanna give him up, so I'm going with this shit."

"S-So, he isn't a... virgin?"

"Nope."

"Oh..." Octavia then says while rubbing her arm.

"Hey, I know it sucks, but if you wanna be a part in it, that's on you. Probably not gonna find another guy like him anytime soon."

"... Will he be alright with it?"

"He's got low standards, I think you're gonna be fine."

"And what if another girl comes around-?"

"Then you fucking deal with it. Besides, he's not just gonna go after any whore... hopefully." The hellhound shook her head. "Look, if you wanna be a part of this, choice is yours."

"Okay, I... can I call you when I make my decision?"

"Yeah, sure, whatever." She says while pulling her phone out and they exchanged numbers.

"Thank you... uh, bye, I guess." Octavia then says while walking away.

Loona only waved before looking at her phone. "I know you heard all that." She then says as Sallie popped her head around the corner.

"Yeah, hi."

"Dare I ask?"

"Oh come on, you gotta admit, he's really something."

"No kidding. Heard about how he sucked your face earlier."

"Oh you did?"

"I did. What you wanna be a part of it like your sister and her flat wife?"

"Wait, wait, my sister? And that weak shit?"

"Yep."

"Holy shit."

"Don't count on it though. He's probably not gonna be coming back here any time soon. If he does... whatever."

"I thought you said you were pissed about this thing?"

"Like I said, as long as doesn't fuck around with every whore, things should be fine."

"Hmm, you don't say." Sallie says with a smile before walking away.

"Again, don't count on it.

Loona hadn't removed her eyes from the phone, not caring too much to look away.

(Meanwhile)

Out on the stage, Stolas walked up to the mic before Yamato handed him the Grimoire. "My dear commoners of the ring of Wrath!" He starts as his book floats up. "I, Stolas of the Ars Goetia, hereby curse this year's harvest with the glow of the true of the true, Harvest moon!" He then created a rift above that showed a bloodred moon.

The audience looked in amazement, the Yamato putting his arm around Maria as they looked up at it. However, they didn't notice from miles away, back at the house was a certain someone aiming a glowing rifle at a certain bird's head.

She was ready to pull the trigger before hearing the click of a gun behind her. "Excuse me, the FUCK!" Minato says, holding his revolver at her.

"Minato, I thought you still at the ceremony." Strika says with a smile while turning around.

"Got bored. I just wanted to take the load off, and I come up here to this."

"Huh, now ya seem disappointed in me."

"Ya think? You mock my coworker, and treat her like shit this whole time, and now right after being fucking asked to join, you return the favor by trying to put us out of a job. I think the disappointment is justified."

"Minato, come on." Strika says while getting up and walking over to him. "Ya know the two us are superior than most of our kind. And you are so above working for a guy sucking on the dick of a rich pompous Goetia only to sneak top side for scraps and bitter sinners-" She says with a rattle while walking by as he kept his eyes trained on her. "-who couldn't care about who you are, when you could be slaying overlords."

"What?" He says before she put a hand on his shoulder.

"Why struggle to run a business that is rigged against you?" She then moved around him while brushing his shoulder. "When you can work with me-" Then pinned him to a nearby wall. "And kill the unkillable." She then moved her face closer to his which caused him to blush. "Starting with the one who treats your boss like a plaything."

The boy gulped, feeling her breath against his face and her breasts pressed against him. "Shit, haha..." He says with a smile.

"We could be the most dangerous creatures in Hell, Minato." She says before running a hand down his neck to his hand, moving the gun to not point at her.

"Wow you really know how to play with words, huh?"

"Been workshoping it."

"Can see that. Pretty hot to be honest." He says before she leans in. "But I gotta pass."

Then she heard the click and looked behind her to see Moxxie holding her rifle while Blitzo was pointing his flintlock at her. Both glaring intensely.

"Took you guys, long enough." Minato chuckled before hearing a shing and looking back to see she had a knife pointed at his back.

"Wow, cliche much?" Blitzo says before Strika then pulled Minato's hand and made him fire at them. "WOAH!" He and Moxxie quickly dodged.

"OH! HELL! NO!"

Minato's eyes flashed before he headbutted her, then elbowed her. He went to punch her before she grabbed his arm, elbowed Blitzo before he could do anything and threw them onto Moxxie.

"Dumb fucks." Strika says while picking her gun up. "Barely did shit, and you already lost the upperhand."

"And you seem to have forgotten what we have, bucko." Bltizo then whistled.

Strika looked back as though expecting something... but nothing came. The imp whistled again... then again... then again... but nothing happened.

"Fucking dammit, Loona." He cursed.

"Damn shame, Minato. You and me would've made a great team." Strika chuckled. "Oh, well. Beggers can't be choo-" She started to say before the door was kicked open, sending her stumbling while dropping the gun.

"Okay, I'm here. What-" Loona started to say before noticing the situation.

"You actually came!" Blitzo says happily.

"Yeah, I was bored. What the fuck is going on?"

"No time to explain. Just help us out here."

Minato saw Strika reach for her gun before he kicked her in the shin. While stumbling again, the boy got up and shoved her, making her hit a wall. As soon as she recovered, Blitzo shatter a vase over her head before she dodged a punch that busted the wall. She punched him, before Minato sucker punched her and Loona grabbed and shoved her against the wall.

As soon as she recovered, she dodged a bullet from the rifle Moxxie held. She was now surrounded by the four of them as Blitzo drew his gun and pointed it at her.

"I still think it's embarrassing." Strika started to say while smirking at the boy who looked pissed. "You're wasting a lot of potential on those weak little-" She was interrupted by Moxxie shooting above her head.

"You gonna finish that fucking sentence. Partner?" Moxxie says with venom.

Minato then looked behind the snake imp who's tall rose with a rattle. "Vermin." She says as the boy recognized what was in her tail.

"Who's weak now, bitch-?"

"LOOK OUT!" Minato yelled before Strika threw the thing.

Whatever it was, caused a huge flash that made the boy stumble back while groaning. "Maybe you'll catch me next time, Mito." He heard her say mockingly.

He could hear the sounds of muffled gunshots that became clear as the brightness died down. He saw Mox on the ground rubbing her head, while Loona was hunched over, rubbing her eyes and Blitzo was just firing in random directions while shouting. He stopped before rubbing his eyes.

"What the fuck was that!?" He says out of disbelief.

"Flash grenade. I should've known it wouldn't be that easy." Moxxie explained.

"Oh, great. Just perfect."

Minato looked at the window and ran to it before looking around. No one in the distant audience seemed to have not noticed anything going on, but he couldn't find Strika around anywhere. He gripped the window frame out of anger before scoffing. There was no chance of finding her any time soon.

(Sometime later, after the festival)

"A genuine Carmine-Crafted Blessing-Tipped Rifle." Moxxie explains while tossing the rifle into the back of the van.

"The thing that can kill demon royalty, eh?" Minato says. "Can't believe they sell these things down here."

"That thing could've killed you."

"What do you mean?"

"Well, human or not, you're technically a sinner. Sinners and royal demons aren't able to die by normal means. Angelic Weaponry has the power to permanently kill you."

"... W-Wait, hold on, you mean I can die again?" The boy says out of shocked.

"Yeah, that's why I gotta ask that you to be careful if ever come across another one of these."

The boy gulped. "Oh, shit."

"Yeah, so again, be careful." Moxxie says, getting a nod in return.

"I can't believe you let her trap you Millie. Haven't we taught you better?" Lin was scolding her daughter while wrapping her arm.

"I was seeing red ma, and she was slippery." Millie argued back.

"Excuses, you're better than that Mildred."

"Woah, woah, hey, back the fuck up. That's just out of pocket now." Minato says while walking up them.

"What's it to you?" Joe asked.

"What's it to me? She messes up one time and you act like it's the end of the fucking world."

"Ya know, she protected me." Moxxie says while also walking over. "And maybe I'm not a strong beefy dickhead, but Millie has the strength enough for both of us. You two are getting on her case about being beaten by a psychopath, you hired? Shame on you."

"Seriously, get a fucking grip." Minato finished.

"Oh Moxxie, look at you." Blitzo then says all cutsy. "Speeching like a big boy with his big pants-"

"Boss, you're not helping."

Joe then walked up to Moxxie who stared up at him. Then he just nodded before he and his wife went back into the house.

"Wow! He nodded." Millie says before being helped onto her crutches. "He never acknowledged you before."

"So... is that progress?" Moxxie asked while helping her to the van.

"... What the fuck? It was that easy?" Minato says, baffled.

"Don't think about it too much?" Sallie tells him. "Thank you for coming to help my sister. Soon as I see that bitch again, I'm ripping her in two."

"Highly doubt she's gonna be here again. Sorry you lost your only helper."

"It's fine. We can always find another... unless, you might be interested." She then says while giving him a stare.

"Maybe I will come back. But about the teaching stuff... well again, not much of a teacher, but I could show you a few moves."

"I look forward to it, hot stuff." She then left.

He stared for a moment before shaking his head then heading for the van before stopping, nearly bumping into the owl girl, both stepping back.

"Octavia? You're still here?" He asked.

"Yeah, I told my dad I needed to do something really quick." She says.

"Gotcha."

"I already heard that you saved my father from being shot so, I also wanted to thank you." She then says with a smile.

"It was nothing. To be honest, kinda shocked when learning about Angelic Weapons."

"Those things are scary."

"I'm sorry I basically ditched you earlier. Kinda a dick move on my part."

"No, no, it's fine. I don't fully blame you. Besides, I did get some time to think about something."

"Cool." Minato says before he realized something. "Wait, do you mean-?" He started to say before she kissed his cheek.

"Yeah, um..." She then stepped back, looking nervous. "It's uh... if you don't mind anyway."

He stared for a moment before putting a hand on his cheek then smiled. "Ya free next Monday?"

She only smiled.

(On the drive back)

"So, how the fuck do you do it?" Blitzo asks.

"Do what?" Minato asked back.

"You know what I'm talking about. What you didn't get this lucky on Earth or some shit?"

"... Actually no. This thing never happened outside of Hell."

"No girls ever threw themselves at you?"

"No, I... I understand how it works just as much I know how I'm still a human down here." He says before the imp gave him a look. "I mean I don't know."

"I get that, smartass. Anyway, enough about that-"

"You literally were the one who brought it up." Loona says.

"What are we gonna do about the uh... angelic gun thing?"

"Well, not much we can do. At best we should give it to Prince Stolas. He'll most likely know what to do about it." Moxxie says.

"Yeah, seems the most logical." Minato says while looking down at the gun. "Man, can't believe even after coming down here we can still die. What happens to us?"

"Well... uh... um, ya see..." Moxxie stuttered a bit.

"You die again and there's no afterlife, everything just goes black." Blitzo says casually.

Moxxie and Millie glared at him. Minato froze for a second before looking down at the gun. He stared at it, millions of thoughts running through his head. On one hand, he learned that he was basically immortal since he was a sinner, but on the other hand, had experienced death before and now from what he had learned, thinking back to Strika holding the gun at him...

'I could've died again.'

"I failed to kill the target at the festival." Strika says into the phone as she laid in her motel bed. "But don't worry ma'am. It won't happen again." She finishes.

"It better not."

(On the other side of the phone)

"I want this cheating prick dead, I don't care who you have to go through, MAKE IT HAPPEN!" Stella screams into the phone.

Stolas and Octavia heard the whole thing. The former seeming unfazed and the latter just blasting music, not even listening.

"Understood." She heard before hanging up.

(Back with Strika)

She placed the phone down and sighed. "I'll get him next time." She then laid back before taking a look at a picture of Minato and smiled. 'This boy is something else.' She thought to herself before sighing and turning the light off.

To be continued...

Okay, what time is it... 2 A.M.!? I'm up too late I gotta go to bed-
