She looked absolutely fragile when he woke up. Her body was curled up against him, hands clenching his clothing like a baby. It seems that the constant moving around as she followed him everywhere was taking a toll on her small body. Quietly, he got up and went to do some troubleshooting in Hell.

Y/N shuffled in her sleep, noticing that something was missing on the futon. Her eyes fluttered open, taking in the surroundings.

I'm in Hōzuki's room!

Being a sneaky piece of Oni, she snooped around his room trying to find anything to blackmail him for fun. There was nothing. He was an extremely clean man with no dirty secrets. However, at a little corner, she spotted something shiny. 

Wait... I recognized this.

There were two bracelets that held memories. When the two lived on earth, he had given her bracelets as a friendship token. However, it did make her wonder why he had both of them because one was supposed to be buried with her dead body.

I'll ask him later.

Y/N takes the slightly pink one and wraps it around her wrists, which was where it was rightfully supposed to be. She puts the other one in her pocket and rushes out to find him. Somehow, she ended up helping Enma.

"King Enma, is there anything else I can help you with?"

"You've been absolutely helpful to me! Hahaha! Now, as you wait for Hōzuki, you can help me sort this stack of documents. Arrange them alphabetically since they're just the names of those who would come here."

She nods, sitting down on the floor to sort the papers. One by one, the deceased are brought in for Enma to determine if one should go to Hell. Apparently, this person was a thief and stole panties. Y/N was a bit terrified of how he looked at her as if he could see through her clothes.

"I hereby condemn you to crushing hell!"

"B-But they're my underwear!"

As the man gets dragged away, Enma sighs at how it's always panty thieves and perverts. A trio of Oni walks in, one specifically being Hōzuki.

"Oh, Y/N, I see that you're up."

"H-Hōzuki! You should have woken me up!"

"Hmm."

Her face was red, especially how they were discussing about undergarments. The conversation went on to women undergarments as she was extremely uncomfortable as they would often glance at her. From the corner, a beautiful woman appears with snakes following her.

"Hōzuki-sama!"

"How can I help you?"

They were talking as if they knew each other for a long time. When discussions ended, her eyes made contact with hers and Y/N's body froze. Excited, the lady rushes towards her, holding her soft hands.

"You must be Hōzuki-sama's assistant!"

"Y-Yes..."

"I'm Oko! Hehe~ Hit me up if you want to hang out!"

"I-I'm Y/N."

"Well then, see you around, Y/N!"

She waved goodbye to her friends and Hōzuki glared down at her.

"Y/N, we need to talk."

She dragged her feet as she followed him to his office. Enma was a little worried for Y/N's life because it seemed like Hōzuki was not happy at all. When the door shut, he turns around to face her. His arms were crossed and he glared down at her.

"I did not expect you of all people to be a thief."

"T-Thief? I-I'm not!"

"And a liar."

"W-what?!"

His arms grabbed her wrists, pulling them up so that her sleeves dropped down to her shoulders. His thumb fiddles with the bracelet on her.

"This is mine. You went snooping around my room and even stole this."

"I-It's mine!"

"No. Mine. It belonged to your past life, not your recent one."

"I'm still the same person!"

"Not really but somewhat true. Do you want it that badly?"

"Y-Yes. A-Ah, and..."

He releases his grasps and she digs into her pocket, pulling out a green bracelet. She extends her hands to grab him, sliding the bracelet onto his wrist.

"Y-You have to wear it. You promised me that you'd always wear it."

"Mhmm... Okay."

"But, how did you take my bracelet from me? I was supposedly buried with it."

"I took it before they buried you."

"Creepy."

"Well, you're in Hell."

She giggles, turning around towards the door.

"Where are you going?"

"I haven't finished helping King Enma."

"No. I do not allow you. You're my subordinate, not Enma's. Plus, I'm not forgetting your punishment for stealing."

"I-I need to be punished?!"

"This is Hell, as I said."

Hōzuki takes a step forward, a smirk on his face as he looks down at the terrified female.

"It won't hurt."

Her hands wrapped around her body and it looks like she was hugging herself.

"A-Anything but that!"

"What?"

"Huh?"

"Huh?"

"You weren't g-going to do anything indecent?"

"What type of being do you think I am? You have such a dirty mind for someone so innocent."

"W-What?!"

Now, she was embarrassed. He chuckled and cupped her face, making her stare right into his piercing orbs.  His body leans down, inching closer face and his hot breath was tickling her nose. Hōzuki's fingers brushed her hair behind her ears, caressing her cheeks lovingly. Slowly, he went closer and closer, their bodies nearly touching. Their top lips were a millimeter apart and their eyes shut as the moment approached.

"Hōzuki!!! I need y- Oh, sorry. I'll come back in a few minutes."

The two opened their eyes wide, blushing from what they were about to do. Y/N brushes it off and rushes out of the room to leave them to their business. Hōzuki sighs at the interrupting Enma.

"What do you want, Bastard?"

"Sorry about that. I'll knock next time. Anyways, Satan from the Western Hell is going to visit this weekend! I need help!"

"Okay, okay. I'll handle it. Now, go back and do your work."

Enma nods and heads back to his work. Hōzuki's hand covers his face in embarrassment, hoping no one saw this unusual expression on his usually deadpanned face.
