Legs and Asa walked down the infinite corridor in front of them. Asa trudged a few steps ahead of Legs with a semi-determined look, where Legs looked bored.
"How long is this hallway!?" Asa asked rhetorically. "We must have walked 100 meters." Asa muttered.
"Chances are this is probably a devil's doing. I think we should stop and try to assess-"
"Oh, shut up! You aren't a devil hunter. You don't know anything!" Asa snapped.
"...Isn't that standard procedure when lost in an emergency situation, though?" Legs asked, somewhat amused. "What good does walking in a line in a random direction do?"
"Just shut it! I know all about these kinds of situations, I'm in the devil hunter club!" Asa turned, boasting.
"It's true."
Legs and Asa turned, noticing the people approaching them.
"She knows more about devils." Legs let out an annoyed sigh as Haruka and Akoku of the devil hunter walked up to them, joined by another named male student.
"The devil hunter club!?" Asa exclaimed.
"You again...?" Legs hissed.
"What a negative attitude." Haruka noted, leading the group of student devil hunters. "Have you decided to take up our offer?" He asked.
"Don't even remember your name, pal." Legs chuckled.
"Hmph." Haruka grunted. "No matter... If you require reintroductions, then I am the Devil Hunter Club President-slash-Student Council President..." He began, taking off of his hat. "Haruka Ise-"
"Yo, Legs."
"I swear to god..." Legs hissed, glaring at Yoshida as he walked up behind the devil hunter club.
"What a coincidence. I just felt like looking at fish today, so I came to the aquarium, and the next thing I know, we've been trapped here by a nasty devil." Yoshida chuckled.
"President, that's him." Akoku muttered into Haruka's ear. "Hirofumi Yoshida, the guy who went from civilian devil hunter to public safety devil hunter while still in high school." He said.
"Hmph. Curiouser and curiouser..." Haruka muttered. "Well, I am the Devil Hunter Club President-Slash-Student Council President... Haruk-"
"Aaaaaah!!!" The 3rd devil hunter club member shrieked. "I knew it, we're all trapped!!" He wailed. "Th-This isn't a dream! We're under attack by a real-life devil!" He trembled.
Everyone watched as the boy spiraled further into his breakdown, Legs growing intrigued at his resemblance to a certain someone...
"I never wanted to join the devil hunter club! My mom made me! She said it'd get me scholarships!" He whimpered.
"Hey..." Legs spoke. "Is your last name by any chance... Higashiyama?" Legs asked.
...
"GYAAAAAAHHH!!!" The boy shrieked. "H-HOW DO YOU KNOW MY LAST NAME!?!?!? Wait, that outfit... You're some Yakuza enforcer, aren't you!?!?!? WE ALREADY PAID YOU GUYS, PLEASE LEAVE ME ALONE!!!" The guy screamed, running down the hall as he flailed his arms.
...
"For the record, I am not (currently) affiliated with the Yakuza." Legs said.
"This place gets a lot of devil activity, so we were on patrol here." Akoku explained. "You guys must have noticed too." he said. "A devil's power is making this hallway go on forever." He said. "It looked like there's no way out unless help arrives, or we kill the devil."
