Kojiro looks at his house and sees the clock showing he is only away for a few hours. He then began to brew some coffee and bake some pastry for his cafe. He also cooks the spicy mapo tofu he learned from the Nasuverse. After preparing the mapo tofu, he then writes the mapo tofu in the menu under the challenge category. He made the Mapo Tofu a little bit more spicy than the original for this challenge.

After finishing preparing, Kojiro then switches the sign to open. He then goes to the counter and waits for the customer to come. A few minutes later, a familiar face opened the door.

"Hello Serafall"

"Hai Hai"

In front of him is one of the four Satan of the Underworld. However, this time she is not alone. Coming with her is the other three Satan. Sirzechs Lucifer, Ajuka Beelzebub, and Falbium Asmodeus.

"You bring your friend?"

"Yup~ Kojiro, This is Sirzechs, Ajuka, and Falbium. Guys, this is the owner of this cafe."

Sirzechs walked toward the counter and gave his hand to Kojiro. He grabs Sirzechs hand and gives Sirzechs a firm handshake.

"Nice to meet you, Sirzechs."

"Kojiro, Nice to meet you as well."

The four of them then sit down in front of the counter with the menu on their hand. After a few minutes, they were ready to order.

"Kojiro-Kun, can I have my usual order?"

"Peaberry and Madheling mix with Lava cake, right?"

"Yup~."

Kojiro nodded at her and wrote it down on the notepad. He looks at the other Satan and asks for their order.

"I will have the same order as Serafall."

"I will have our strongest coffee, please, and also some home specialty."

"I will have these challenge dishes."

He nodded at them while writing the order before saying.

"Serafall wants Coffee of Peaberry and Madheling mix with Lava Cake. Sirzechs-san wants the same order as Serafall. Ajuka-san wants the strongest coffee we have and home specialty, which is Chicken Nanban. While Falbium-san wants our challenge dishes, which is spicy mapo tofu, is that right?"

He looked at his customer once more.

"Yup~."

Kojiro then begins to prepare the order. He then prepares the one that he can make quickly, which is the order of both Serafall and Sirzechs. After a few minutes, all the order is ready, so he takes them to the Four Satan.

"Here is your order."

Sirzech and Serafall order is a coffee with a hint of chocolate and a lava cake with the shape of a cat. As for Ajuka, he placed down a pitch-black coffee and also the Chicken Nanban. Lastly for Falbium is his newest item in the menu, Extremely Spicy Mapo Tofu.

He doesn't know how, but somehow, he got a shiver on his back after saying that name.

He then goes back to the kitchen and doesn't look at the shocked face of his customer.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Serafall looks at the glowing Mapo Tofu in front of Fabilum. She knows Falbium is enjoying the spicy food to the point of addiction, but she doesn't know if he can eat this Mapo Tofu. Mapo Tofu in front of Falbium is glowing in a menacing red, and she can even feel the 'heat' just looking at it.

"Are you sure you want to eat that?"

"Of course."

Falbium slowly scoops the mapo tofu and then puts it inside his mouth. She looks at Falbium in anticipation. After a few seconds, Falbium began to devour the Mapo Tofu as if he was not eating for days. She could see his bald head releasing sweat from his head. Not only that, but Falbium eyes also began to tear up from eating the Mapo Tofu.

"Er… I think you should stop Falbium-chan."

However, Serafall warning gets ignored by Falbium that continues to eat the Mapo Tofu. After a few seconds, Falbium finishes eating his food and looks at the table while clutching his hand. Before Serafall could ask him what was happening, Falbium shouted and spewed some fire from his mouth.

After roaring for a second, Falbium slumped on the table and whimpered silently.

"I-It was so horrible…So deliciously horrible… it felt like I was in heaven and hell at the same time. I couldn't stop myself."

She looks at Falbium that is still whimpering on the table when she is about to give him some comfort, Kojiro walks toward Falbium and gives him some milk.

"Here, This will help you."

Falbium takes the jug of milk from Kojiro's hand and begins to chug it like a person never drinking water.

Serafall then makes a promise never to eat the thing Falbium eats. Falbium is one of the toughest Devil in the world because of his ability, but this Mapo Tofu can pierce the passive defense of his ability, just what kind of chili Kojiro uses for this dish.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Sirzechs, Ajuka, Serafall, and Falbium walk toward the Yasaka Palace. After eating their breakfast, They then go to Yasaka Palace to meet the leader of the Youkai Faction in Japan. Currently, they are in Kyoto to meet with Yasaka and discuss something important.

Currently, Kyoto is the safest place in the world from the Stray Devil. They got this information after Serafall sent some of her people that were working for her to look at this information. After searching every corner of Kyoto, they can't find any Stray Devil. Sirzechs and his fellow Satan speculate that the Stray Devil move from Kyoto after the Shinto Faction kills some of their fellow Stray Devil that have a big name.

That is also some mystery that they try to uncover. How the Shinto Faction can kill four powerful Stray Devil that even Thor himself needs to use his True form to have a chance to kill the Stray Devil.

While he could understand, they can kill Ryan the Chimera and Russel the Crimson easily, but He doubts they can kill Lung the Dragon and Ned the Crawler. If they use their true form, then any devil living inside Japan will feel it. However, when the Shinto faction gives the head of Lung the Dragon, Many Elder and Clan Head accuse Yasaka of being a liar. However, after doing some testing, it was the real Lung. They try to ask them how they do it, but every time they ask, Yasaka only smiles at them and asks for the bounty. They continue to ask Yasaka how they kill the Stray Devil, but like before, she continues to smile and not answer any of the questions.

Sirzechs snap from him, though, when they arrive in front of the stair to Yasaka Castle. After a few seconds of climbing the stairs, they were greeted by the guard in front of the gate. They then follow the servant to the throne room, where they will meet Yasaka.

"Welcome to my palace. What can I do for you?"

"We want to offer the Shinto Faction a new treaty between our faction."

"I see, then please follow me."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Ajuka and his fellow Satan follow Yasaka to the meeting room and sit down on the chair. While his fellow Satan is busy discussing the treaty, Ajuka looks around the room and examines the barrier around the palace.

He didn't want to do this, but he needed to know how the Shinto faction could kill the Stray Devil. While on the front, the Devil Faction is strong, but on the inside, they are struggling to survive. The Clan head is overworked to contain the mess they made, and the troops also overworked because of their crowded schedule patrolling the area. He doesn't know how long they can survive, but they must stay strong for the future of their race.

There is also a reason why the devil faction wants to make a new treaty with the Shinto Faction. The devil faction currently doesn't have any ally after the Stray Devil outbreak that is happening around the world. They want to have a stronger bond to the Shinto faction or at least the Youkai faction so they can have an ally to fight the stray Devil.

Ajuka snaps from his thought when the door of the meeting room forcefully opens up. He looks at the man that opens up the door and realizes that he is a devil, not Youkai.

"What is happening?"

Sirzechs ask the young Devil in a stern expression.

"Lucifer-sama. T-There is an emergency in the underworld."

"What is it?"

"Jacob, the Behemoth is on a rampage."

"What?!?"

"Yes, Jacob, the Behemoth is on a rampage in our capital."

Sirzechs quickly summoned a magic circle, followed by Falbium, and then went from the meeting room. Ajuka looked at Yasaka and bowed to her before saying.

"Yasaka-dono, please lend us your strength."

Ajuka looks at the ground and feels that Serafall is doing the same thing as him. After a few seconds of silence, Yasaka says.

"Very well."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Kojiro looks at the table he prepared for his date with Yasaka. He also finished cooking the food that Yasaka wanted, and the only thing to do is wait for Yasaka to come. He closes the cafe earlier on purpose so they can spend their day alone.

After waiting for 15 minutes, he feels there is a person in front of his door. However, it was not Yasaka, so he opened the door and saw the person in front of the door. As he opens the door, he sees an old man with a weird head waiting for him. The old man is not alone and has several elders and bodyguards with him.

"Kojiro-dono"

The man in front of him is Nurarihyon, one of the elders in Yasaka court.

"What is it? Is there something I can help?"

"Kojiro-dono, we as the representative of Youkai Faction beg you to help our leader."

"What? What happened to Yasaka?"

"Currently, she is helping the Devil fight Jacob the Behemoth."

Kojiro's mind then begins to think about the giant monster in the Worm universe, The Endbringer. He quickly summoned his sword and also prepared the new toy that he made earlier.

"Lead the way."
