"E-elsie?" Keima asked , confused.

Keima followed the voice's source and realized it is coming from his favorite handheld gadget, his PFP.

The gamer looked at his gadget's screen and saw a girl with a skull hairpin on her head.

"Wow. My PFP really is amazing. It has a video call feature too?" Keima commented.

"Kami-nii-sama, I can't-"

"Oh that reminds me, Elsie. How's your trip to the New Hell? Is it-"

"Kami-nii-sama, you must listen to me first! I can't keep this up much longer." said Elsie, cutting off Keima.

"Oh...ok then. What's the problem?"

"Kami-nii-sama, you must cancel your bet with the girl named Nachihara Yuki!"

Keima's eyes widened.

"H-how do you know about that bet and...about her?" asked Keima.

"Kami-nii, you're not who you think you are. You really -"

The PFP shuts down and cuts off Elsie.

"Elsie? Elsie?!"

Keima grabbed his PFP and tried to turn it on again but failed trying.

Disappointed, Keima took the PFP's battery and replaced a new one. It worked but...

"I-I don't know how to make video calls in a PFP..."

The God of Conquest sat on his chair and stared at the PFP's screen.

"What does Elsie mean about 'I'm not who I think I am'?"

Keima paused a second then he stood up, surprised.

"Is she saying that I'm not...The God of Conquest?"

Keima, again, stared at the screen and said,

"Is that why you want me to cancel the bet with Nachihara-san because...I'm not worthy?"

(Tomorrow morning, at Keima,Yuki and Ren's school)

Keima walked in the hallway while looking down on the floor and making a gloomy aura around him.

Ren saw him and approached the loner.

"Yo! Keima-kun! Why so serious?"

Keima didn't respond.

"Ehhhhh? You're not even yelling at me?! That's a first."

Ren turned his head where the lockers are and saw Yuki doing something on her locker.

"Yuki-chan!"

Yuki turned her head to where the voice is coming from and saw Ren.

"Ah, Nakayama."

Ren went where Yuki was and said,

"Yuki-chan, you see...I think something is troubling Kema-kun."

Yuki looked at Keima. She turned to Ren and said,

"Did you do something...'extraordinary' again?"

"W-what do you mean about that? Do you really think I'm that kind of person?"

Yuki approached Keima, ignoring Ren.

"Hey, Katsuragi. Did your PFP broke or something?" Yuki asked, teasing Keima.

Keima looked at Yuki's eyes and said with a sad tone,

"Nachihara-san, there's some demon that told me that I should cancel my bet with you."
