Chapter Text
Satan was annoyed.
He and MC had planned a date today, just the two of them, as he didn’t want to celebrate his birthday with his family. He just wanted to spend it with MC.
However, he finds himself staring at a letter.
Satan,
We have kidnapped MC. In order to free MC from our clutches, you must find the treasure map.
Sincerely,
The Lord of Shadows
Satan let out an annoyed growl as he slammed the letter on the end table. A stack of books fell to the ground due to the impact.
“ Fine— Since they want to play games, we can play games,” Satan groaned to himself as he started to go over to his room to find a certain gift that MC gave them during Christmas last year. Pulling out the magnifying glass, detective hat, and cape from under his chair, Satan let out an amused chuckle.
“Detective Satan is on the case,” he said to himself as he started to tie the cape around his neck while putting on his hat. Using his free fingers to run against his chin, he spoke out loud, “The only clue that I have is the letter and the signature of the Lord of Shadows .” He walked out of his room and made his way towards Leviathan’s.
Knocking on his door, Satan didn’t hear the usual response from Leviathan. He did it one more time before opening the door, only to see his brother’s room disorganized with game guides scattered over the floor and his television screen still on the start menu of a game. From the corner of his eye, Satan saw a small piece of orange paper sticking on a controller.
“Play me,” he read out loud before he felt the strands of magic pulling him towards the television. He steadied his bearings until he heard the voice of MC calling out.
“Help me, Satan!”
Mentally cursing himself, he allowed himself to be pulled into the game and into the games that his brothers were currently playing on him at his and MC’s expenses.

Holding his temple with only two fingers, his emerald eyes glanced around the old-fashioned buildings surrounding him. The streets were lit by the dimly glowing street lights as there were very few people in the streets.
“I heard our Lord of Shadows had taken a partner recently,” the whispers that spoke within the streets as Satan started walking towards the large castle that was towering over the town.
“I heard that the person was engaged to the Lord of Masks.”
“That poor child… Our Lord would treat the young one very well.”
Satan silently scoffed as he continued towards the direction of the castle. The feeling of annoyance continued to grow as the villagers’ conversation played through his mind multiple times as he felt the threads of anger fill his being until he reached his destination. The overcast of the castle’s shadow made it bigger than it appeared; however, Detective Satan was determined to retrieve MC from his annoying otaku brother.
“Do we really have to do this, Levi? I could have just given him the letter and the gift.”
“No, MC, because it's only you two.”
Satan could feel MC’s annoyance rolling off of them until their presence can no longer be felt. Satan quickened his pace to the throne room where he saw Leviathan sitting on the throne, dressed as the Lord of Shadows.
“Levi!” Satan growled as his emerald eyes narrowed at his brother who just laughed at his figure.
“Detective Satan, you are too late. I have sent Henry off into a different world; you must find—” Before Leviathan could even finish his spiel, Satan was searching the random assortment around the throne room.
“Hey, you can at least wait until I finish my monologue!” Leviathan growled in annoyance as Satan held up an orange-colored ripped piece of paper.
“Levi, what is this?”
“That’s ‘Lord of Shadows’ to you!”
Satan’s eyes narrowed as he felt his fingers starting to expand into claws, “Levi, don’t test my fucking patience!”
Leviathan tensed up as he rubbed his temple in slight contempt as he sighed, “Fine, we made it so that you need to find the pieces of the letter in order to go on your date with MC.”
“Did you guys even think that we had plans that were time-limited?”
“Then I guess you need to hurry up and find the others with their pieces of paper.”
“Once this is done and over, I will tell MC not to help you with your otaku hobbies.”
Leviathan stared at Satan as if he grew another head, however, Satan only gave his brother a sickening sweet-looking grin on his face with his emerald eyes gleaming in amusement.
“Oh yes, you better hope I have enough time to spend with them.”
Satan’s eyes widened in shock as a portal opened underneath him and pulled him into another place.
