”A feat unmatched by others! Not even those from the underworld! All shall cheer and hail my name!”

“A festival...? Yes, I see...
One held in the name of demons, which serves to corrupt humanity!”

Little Demon
“I just want to have a festival where everyone can have fun and be happy! I don't want corrupting humanity to have anything to do with it!”
Demon
“What kind of festival put on by a demon doesn't revolve around corrupting humans?! You are supposed to have them engage in merrymaking and encourage them to become more hedonistic...”
Little Demon
“No, I'm bored of doing that.
I don't like how they essentially become zombies in the end...”

A happy, demonic festival that everyone can enjoy!
Let's go!”

It's funny how they're just being themselves, even though they're supposed to be scary demons.
Little Demon
“I brought a new recruit!
It should be a lot easier to put on our festival now!”

Older Demon
“Ah, so there are other strange folk like us still around. Who exactly did you...? Huh?”
Older Demon
“Wait, this is the biggest and baddest demon of them all! The one who corrupted 1,000 humans! What's he doing here...?!”
Older Demon
“This is bad!
If the more powerful demons find out about us putting on a happy festival that has nothing to do with corrupting humans, we're going to be in big trouble.”

But I thought it'd be fun if we brought him along since he seemed so bored.”

“Argh! That's not the point!
If the others find out, they'll lock us up in the underworld and make it so we can't come back to the human world!”

Older Demon
“I was going to corrupt them, but they died of an illness before I could... The costumes they left behind were very beautiful, so I decided to try making copies of them.”
Demon
“Yes! I shall aid thee!
And if I become bored, I'll just report you to the bosses for a tidy reward.”

Shizuku
He looks like the Tsukasa I'm used to seeing, but he really is quite good at playing less-than-savory characters.
Demon
“Now, where do you need me to begin?
I should have no issues accomplishing whatever it is that you need of me.”

Hehe. I always love Tsukasa's performances where he goes along with Emu and the others' antics...! He's so good at interacting with them!

Mizuki
Interesting. He's supposed to be this all-powerful, evil demon, but he's beginning to see how fun it is to put on a festival as he interacts with these demons that see things differently to him.

“Indeed.
But I was wondering why I hadn't seen you in the human world lately. What have you been up to?”

“How did you find out about us putting on a festival?! We didn't tell anyone...”
Demon
“Then, let me ask you this... Is corrupting humans that much fun? Is that what you truly wish to do?”
Smiling Demon
“This is not a matter of fun.
We have an important role to play in this world.”

I mean, yes, we're imprisoned at the bottom of the abyss with no roof or ceiling in sight...”

Toya
And the perfect performance for leading off the shows for Shibuya Festa's corporate sponsors.
Airi
Their costumes were really nice too!
They had such a great trickster feel to them. I'd love to try something like that on if given the chance.

I was so moved by the scene where Tsukasa flew! I still can't believe you made that device, Rui!

Rui
But I'd like to say how our show was only possible because of you, Asahina. Thank you very much for what you did.
Rui
We were only able to do our show the way we did because you were kind enough to treat my injury.

Rui
Our shows mean quite a lot to me, so I can't even begin to express how grateful I am for your help.
Tsukasa
Yes, and we apologize for not thanking you sooner. We appreciate what you did and were able to put on a fantastic show as a result!
Nene
Thank you very much.
If you like, please stop by the Wonder Stage for another show. We'd love to see you there.
