You're not part of it anymore, correct? Why did you join?

[He sure noticed that pause, but i don't want to know more about kh so i'm personally letting it go.]

The short story is, I was at the wrong place at the wrong time, and it was pretty much my only option.

[He looks very tired for a moment, but nods.]

The wrong place at the wrong time. I know a few people with that sort of history.

[ blinks ]

You do?

I am someone who works closely with the deceased, Lea.

Plenty of their deaths were because of just that. The wrong place at the wrong time.

Oh, right. Yeah, that makes sense. It's kind of a common thing with people.

Did you forget? I suppose it doesn't come up as often when I'm unable to do my job.

I didn't forget. I just didn't think that's what you meant when you said that. I was weirded out that so many demons got into bad situations for a second there.

Hm... Sometimes they do.

When Fenrich was still working as a hired assassin, one of his employers attempted to kill him. That may be standard for assassins if they don't fulfill their jobs. [said like somebody who's never been sent out to kill for someone else's benefit. he's casual about it, but he's a demon, after all.]

Emizel had to deal with the entire Netherworld believing he was dead. Every time he tried to convince someone he wasn't, they'd think he was just an imposter. In the end, the entire experience allowed him to become a much stronger person. I doubt it always works out that way.

That's just normal assassin work, as far as I know.

[ LEA ]

Why'd they think he was dead?

You would know more than I do on that subject. I've never been one.

It was written in the corrupterment run newspaper. What reason did they have to lie about the president's son's death?

They're called the corrupterment.

[ why wouldn't they lie about things. trust no government entity ]

That's what we can the Netherworld government.

[yeah. anyway overthrow the government when it sucks.]

Regardless, he's proven his existence and he's planning on taking the seat of president. I arrived here before I could see him challenge Axel for the title. A shame, I was looking forward to seeing that.

...

That guy is president?

[ he's pretty sure val told him this already but after seeing him in action his brain rejected it ]

He won't be for long. Axel's not strong enough to defend the position of president.

[ god it's weird to hear that name applied to someone else. anyway: ]

How'd he even get it in the first place?

When we won against the previous president, it was first come first served. Axel showed up like a cockroach and declared himself president.

I didn't have any interest in the position and we were busy stopping a malice filled ghost.

[ hm. really hating how often he's hearing the name axel right now. ]

How long has he held it?

[ Good thing he introduced himself as Lea. ]

Less than a month, if I recall correctly.

Isn't that a long time, if he's not strong enough?

It might have been shorter than that. We were in the middle of a crisis.

Couldn't you have just not had a president during the crisis?

It would be stranger to leave the position open.

Axel's a fool, but he isn't controlled by malice.

I don't know enough about Netherworld politics to weigh in on this.

It's alright. You're not a demon, after all.
