"Another one of the same." "want to come with me after this?" "Thank you." "That was cold!" "You didn't have to ignore me." "Don't involve yourself with me." "See?" "I told you." "I've had enough!" "but you just make it total chaos again!" "Huh?" "What are you talking about?" "I'm telling you to clean up after yourself when you're done eating!" "sure." "Check in again tomorrow." "Tomorrow?" "they'll mysteriously be cleaned up." "Huh?" "That's because I clean them up!" "That's another way of putting it." "Sheesh!" "already!" "Ow." "fine!" "Jeez..." "This is one of those "Your parents must be really something" situations." "I don't..." "I don't have any parents." "that's not what I meant by that... you..." "Ow!" "wait!" "forget you!" "is Pat... huh?" "Shut up." "you're very welcome." "hire a maid." "You can use the pay from this job." "I'd like you to hold on to this for a while." "Morrison?" "don't be so hasty." "this is a historic heirloom that's been passed down in Miss Nina's family for generations." "This pendant is priceless. those who want it are out for her blood whenever they smell a chance." "Ten years..." "Why do you suddenly want to give it to someone after that long? and she's frequently been in danger." "it's time for you to step in." "Would you take this on for me?" "partner." "all right." "I was at loose ends anyway." "I'll take on the job for you." "That jerk Dante." "He just has no delicacy!" "he doesn't have any parents either..." "Dante!" "you're alone today?" "you know that." "girls that age get hurt real easily." "and make friends again." "it's none of your business." "You hurry up and bring me the usual." "Okay!" "Sheesh... you jerk!" "Why the long face?" "go do some work." "you know." "I'm doing work now." "What's this?" "A pendant." "what's with this pendant?" "I'm its bodyguard..." "I guess." "That wasn't funny." "Thanks for waiting!" "Mom... can it really be that valua..." "What's with you?" "This one thing I can't let you turn into payment on the debt." "As if I'd take it!" "It's not yours." "Got it!" "Hey!" "you know." "work hard and pay me back soon." "This just isn't right." "It's too late to say that." "You've already handed it over to him." "We just have to watch over him and see what happens." "but..." "I didn't want to let you face any more danger." "And it's true that he's a man we can trust." "I have the power to defeat lower-level ones." "I know that." "But there's no guarantee that your attackers will always be small fry." "but..." "It looks like it's begun." "Who the hell are you?" "Where did the woman go?" "Do you have the magic stone now?" "do you mean this?" "Wait!" "What are you even going to do if you go out there now?" "let me go." "Nina!" "I'll have the power of my master. it's time to go to sleep now." "Bye." "I thought I'd be able to have a little more fun there." "too bad." "Things just ended." "aren't you?" "you kept quiet about the fact that the ones after the necklace were devils." "You defeated the devil?" "you see." "who's that?" "An old friend." "I'm Simon." "Simon's the one who told me about you." "He told me there was an odd-jobs man who would even protect a demon-summoning pendant." "But please give it back." "I just can't let strangers be put in danger because of me!" "Then will you give me my pay for the work I've done up 'til now?" "I'll pay you tomorrow." "too." "All right." "I'll come to your office tomorrow." "Mom!" "Mom!" "Patty?" "Mom." "Mo..." "Mom!" "Mom..." "I'll drive you home." "Come to the office tomorrow like you always do." "That woman you think is your mother is supposed to show up with my pay." "I know she's my mother!" "eh?" "Dante." "cheer up already and clean... never mind." "isn't she?" "Morrison." "What are you saying?" "You trusted her enough to tell her to bring your pay here." "That's not what I mean." "You're wondering whether she might be a demon herself? but she herself seemed like a normal human to me." "all normal-like." "What hotel?" "if memory serves." "Sheesh... don't make this place any more of a mess than it is." "Dante!" "Hey!" "What's with Patty?" "I thought she wanted to see Nina." "Beats me." "She probably remembered some TV show she wanted to watch." "She's a hopeless brat." "Dante." "what a pain." "Devil May Cry." "it's you?" "What?" "Are you sure about that?" "Of course." "I came all the way out to the public library to confirm it." "too." "I'm counting on you." "Was that Nina?" "it was about this necklace's... what did you do with the pendant?" "Huh?" "!" "Mom..." "Patty..." "Simon!" "Come in." "Thanks." "Perfect timing." "I have a favor to ask of you." "A favor?" "I'd like you to go to that odd-job man's place now and get back the pendant in exchange for this pay." "You can just go yourself." "I don't want to go." "perhaps?" "I can't be with her." "You should know that." "you're right." "did you do something to your hand?" "I just spilled some coffee this morning." "But I thought you couldn't stand coffee... was that right?" "You..." "That's strange." "I can't imagine the book is that popular." "this is a surprise." "Do devils study too?" "I have an avid thirst for knowledge." "that book... --Huh?" "What the heck is the deal?" "just drive faster." "You got it." "Are you awake?" "Who are you?" "A good question. --What do you want?" "What do I want?" "You should know that better than anyone else." "But it only means anything to demons..." "Are you a demon?" "the pendant should react to you... that stone reacts to the powers of demons." "it doesn't have much of an effect." "My powers are extremely weak." "I'm a demon with no power." "I have to actually wear human skin!" "Simon is... but I threw away the insides." "Nina Lowell." "I'll have everything I need." "About the guest that's reserved the suite..." "Hey!" "we can't give out information about guests." "It's the policy of-- or have a big hole open up in your face?" "I guess it's about time to go pick them up." "Pick them up?" "Don't play dumb with me." "I know." "and your daughter... right?" "just leave Patty out of this." "huh?" "you would want that." "that's why you had to part ways with your own daughter." "Patty!" "You really are my mother?" "run away!" "aren't you." "just run!" "This is a happy surprise." "I never imagined you'd bring that to me of your own free will." "I guess that means luck has finally turned my way." "take the necklace and go stand in front of that altar." "you mustn't listen to what this man..." "Mom!" "You keep your mouth shut!" "hurry up." "Otherwise..." "Pat" "Get a move on!" "there is fine." "Now all you have to do is place that necklace on the center of the altar." "Hurry!" "stop!" "is this what you wanted?" "then?" "that's fine." "Here!" "Mom!" "It's here!" "It's here!" "Now I can become a king of the demon world that surpasses even the four great devils!" "Mom!" "Mom..." "What have..." "What have we done?" "Mom?" "Dante!" "Ack!" "What the heck is going on?" "!" "take these two and get away from the hotel." "H-Hey!" "too!" "As if I can get that many out at once!" "Dante!" "What's this?" "What happened?" "fast!" "I can't very well just..." "Get your ass in gear!" "but you're too late to do anything." "I've gotten hold of Abigail's legacy." "You're always scurrying around behind the scenes pulling cheap tricks..." "I've gotten really sick of seeing your face." "How about we say our goodbyes?" "did you think I'd beg for my life or something?" "Fool." "I'm different than I was before." "I'll show you." "Everyone hurry!" "who once rivaled the demon king!" "What the heck?" "It's over." "The world is ending." "Dante." "Everything with a beginning also has an end." "That's the rule." "but looking all gloomy just because it's the end isn't my thing." "all the more reason to paint the town red instead." "you can keep smiling no matter how things pan out."
