As Shizue started bidding farewell to her friends, Yuki couldn't help but think wickedly 'Goodbye suckers, I can't believe they still fall for this trick… I can't wait to check out the big haul I made once I go back home'
Some people simply never change, no matter the circumstances, for better or for worse, and Yuki was one of them as he used the opportunity of hugging his friends to steal from them for one last time, and he indeed felt the bag he was carrying on his waist filling up to the brim Which widened the smug smile on his face!
"Well then, time to go" Spoke Yuki with a warm smile on his face, and surprisingly, everyone started waving goodbye at him with a similar smile on their faces that gave him a bad feeling. However, he quickly overcame it and shot one last look at the friends he made during his stay in this world before he used his dimensional link ability to leave this world…
"Goodbye…" The warm smiles soon turned into wicked smiles as they started talking among themselves about what they got!
Of course, his friends got used to his greed, so they started using all kinds of space magic and skill to steal everything back from him the moment he was stealing from them and Diablo replaced the content of his bag with stones to add insult to injury, and Yuki will soon find out…
Shizue chuckled slightly at this and talked a little bit more with them before she felt the summoning from Yuki and said "Take care everyone" Before she too transformed into a speck of light and arrived in a world she almost didn't recognize…
...…..
In villa rosa, Maou had just came back from an exhausting day of work at MgRonald and directly sat on a sofa and started complaining to Ashiya "Oy Ashiya, how's the plan on raiding the ghost's base going?"
Ashiya froze slightly in his action of preparing dinner and said "My lord, that ghost is very cunning and careful, he doesn't leave us any chance or flaw to take advantage of other than the times when he suddenly disappears before he reappears again sometime later. However, they seem too random to rely on or take advantage of"
Meanwhile, Hanzo was playing on his computer with a lazy look on his face and said "Ashiya, I'm hungry"
"Get your ass up and cook something then, do I look like your mother?" Replied Ashiya with annoyance covering his face and he almost threw the ladle in his hand at Hanzo, but he then remembered how worthless that devil was and it would just be a waste to ruin such a nice and affordable ladle on him so he reined in his anger instead.
However, Hanzo's next words only made matters worse for him "Ehh, I guess I will go have dinner with Yurei then, see you"
Then, Hanzo calmly left the room under Maou's narrowed eyes… "My lord, do you think that the reason our plans aren't working is that Hanzo is betraying us and working as a spy for that ghost?"
Maou's eyes narrowed at this before he shook his head and said "Impossible, Hanzo wouldn't do such a thing for a cheap meal"
Meanwhile, in the room next door, Hanzo was sitting in front of Yurei and reporting dutifully like a well-trained soldier "I overheard them say that they plan to raid your house again, I think they might wait until it's nighttime before they take action…"
Yurei smiled wickedly at this, and if only Maou could see just how wrong he was as Hanzo enjoyed the food Yurei offered him and said "Good job Hanzo, Next Friday you will get your weakly allowance just as usual"
Hanzo nodded back with a wide smile on his face and he couldn't help but think 'Sorry suckers, but your stingy asses deserve this, I'm just doing what I can to survive in this cruel and harsh world'
….
Meanwhile, as if Maou and Ashiya couldn't have it any worse, a portal suddenly opened behind them from which, a man they didn't recognize came out of it.
He had long white hair and green eyes, a muscular body, and was wearing what appeared to be old aristocratic attire…

"Who are you?" Spoke Maou while standing hurriedly from the sofa and Ashiya as well prepared himself to fight the unknown intruder, but then they noticed him staring at their room as if it was a pile of trash, and that look remained even when he stared at them as he said "You two are still living in this pile of filth?"
"Who are you? How dare you insult our base?" Replied Ashiya with a look that said, you better apologize for your truthful words and Yuki simply grinned at him and said "What's wrong Ashiya, you don't recognize your neighbor after a few months apart? That's hurtful"
"Y-You, don't tell me…. Are you really Y-Yuki?" Asked Maou with his eyes wide in surprise and he almost couldn't believe what he was seeing…
"Who else you know is this handsome?" Replied Yuki which made Maou and Ashiya exchange a look and nod at each other as they thought 'He's definitely narcissistic enough, he's probably telling the truth'
"Yuki, long time no see brother, did you bring us gifts?" Spoke Ashiya while barely able to hide the greed in his eyes as he approached Yuki to give him a hug
Yuki smiled smugly at him and said "Sure, I can give you a gift or two" Before he reached into his bag and prepared to take out some jewelry he stole from his dear friends, but when his hands reached into the bag, something felt wrong… The sensation wasn't right, it wasn't of something metallic… It had a texture more resembling to stones, and they were all round in shape…
Yuki froze slightly as he thought 'This must be my imagination right, yup of course it is, maybe this is what happens when I use dimensional link…'
Lying to himself was a skill that every wicked person had, and Yuki was no exception as he nervously picked up an item from his bag and started taking it out nervously as if he was retrieving a bomb to the point that he started making Maou and Ashiya nervous as well as they thought
'What kind of rare treasure is this to make Yuki so nervous? It must be something rare and dangerous, that's what fitting for great demons like us!'
However, contrary to their belief, Yuki's face suddenly turned pale as his hand finally came out of the bag and noticed the ordinary stone in his hand with a smiley face carved into it and the image of Diablo instantly flashed through his head making his face turn even paler
'No, don't tell me! They stole everything from me?' Yuki started sweating slightly, and seeing the expectant looks Maou and Ashiya were giving him like two puppies devoid of any demonic greatness made him even more nervous as he thought 'Damn You all!' He finally experienced what it's like to be at the other end of the sword, and he didn't like it at all…
However, his ego wouldn't let him ruin his cool entrance which he rehearsed so long for so he smiled confidently and showed them the stone "Do you guys know what kind of magical jewel is this?"
Maou and Ashiya's attention was instantly attracted to the stone, but then they saw how normal it looked and the smiley face carved on it and they couldn't help but freeze.
"I know you are in awe of such a great treasure, but let me explain, this is something I found in the lair of a dragon that—" Before Yuki could finish his bullshit, a ladle flew through the air and hit him squarely in the face as Maou nodded calmly and said "A cheap bastard never changes"
"Wait, I can explain, everything was stolen from me" Said Yuki hastily but Maou and Ashiya simply stared at him as if he was the lowest kind of scum which suddenly made Yuki remember something "That's right, I have a witness here, ask her" Said Yuki before he summoned Shizue to this world and the first thing she did was to look at the crowded room curiously before her eyes landed on Maou and Ashiya and Yuki immediately said
"Shizue, tell them how those bastards stole everything from me"
'Who is this cute girl? Is she another victim of Yuki?' Thought Maou and Ashiya and the girl in front of them replied with an innocent look on her face "Yuki, you only got what you deserve for constantly stealing from everyone"
The eyes of both Maou and Ashiya instantly lit up when they heard this as Maou said "Oh, Shizue-san right? Can you tell us more about the poor people Yuki ripped off? We can relate after all! We are also victims"
"Really?" Asked Shizue curiously to which Maou nodded repeatedly and Ashiya suddenly realized 'We lost Hanzo but we might be able to get her as an ally, My lord is truly wise!'
Shizue tilted her head slightly before she said "But Yuki said I shouldn't believe his neighbors at all, they are demons after all"
Maou's face froze slightly as he shot the smirking Yuki a look that said 'So you came prepared you bastard huh?'
His blood red eyes clashed with Yuki's eerie green eyes silently making Maou realize just how strong Yuki had gotten, but he was a demon, and scheming was second nature to him as he asked with a wicked smile "Ah Shizue-san, so Yuki must have told you as well about Emi-san and Mashiro-chan right?"
"Emi, Mashiro?" Asked Shizue with a weird light shining in her eyes and Yuki started sweating nervously as he glared at Maou and told him telepathically through their dimensional link 'You bastard, you would actually go this far?"
Maou grinned back at him and said "That's what you get for not bringing us gifts after Yurei keeps flaunting his money left and right over us"
"Wait, what money? I didn't give that little turd anything… don't tell me" Realizing that Yurei probably stole some of the loot they gathered, Yuki's smile suddenly turned extremely dark, and both Maou and Ashiya felt a chill as they heard him mutter "It seems like everyone dares to steal from me huh…"
Unfortunately, that atmosphere was soon broken as Shizue asked him "Who are they talking about?"
'One day I will skin this fucking demon for opening his mouth too much' Thought Yuki as he started to think how to explain the situation to Shizue…
