"Lucifer?"
"...Diavolo."
"You have an unusual expression right now. Is it related to what you'd like to talk about?"
"..."
"...I see. "
Diavolo straightened his posture. "Then, I'd like you to take a seat."
Lucifer did as told and exhaled. "...Diavolo, to what extent are you planning to go for the exchange student program?"
Diavolo looked surprised by the question that seemingly came from nowhere. Then he smiled.
"...Ah, I think I know where this is going."
"...How so?" Lucifer leaned back in his seat, trying to relax.
"You want the program to visibly help Belphegor. Especially since Belphegor has seen it as nothing but a hindrance in the first place."
"..." Lucifer looked down on his lap silently. Diavolo then let out a loud and boisterous laugh.
"Then, I'm happy to oblige, Lucifer!"
"...Really?"
"Of course!" Diavolo mused.
"I had already been planning on extending the exchange program to ones who don't particularly belong in the three realms, so it's quite nice to have suggestions on who we should invite next."
"..."
"Then, does that sound good, Lucifer?"
"...Thank you."
