Reaching the outskirts of the Heart Kingdom, Vanica looked over her shoulder and back at the distant palace. Bringing her hand up, she snapped her fingers and activated the devil power in her dark disciples.
*KABOOOOM!!*
Moments later, explosions bright enough to engulf the sky went off from all corners of the kingdom.
"Ahahahahahahahahaha." Watching as the explosions lit up the sky, Vanica couldn't help but laugh at the thought of the miserable expressions her dark disciples must have had when they realized she was throwing them away.
Noticing the explosions going off in the background, Grim barely paid it any mind as he couldn't imagine a world where the people he had fought side by side with would allow themselves to be killed by explosions of this level.
"Say Grim." Vanica's voice rang out as she flew next to him and twirled in the air.
"What's up?"
Grinning at how casual he was acting, she hooked her arm in his and flashed him a smile.
"Since the journey back is gonna take a while, why don't we get to know each other better?"
"You want to know more about me?"
"Of course! Since you managed to beat me I want to know everything about you! Like what is your magic? How did you get so strong? Why do you want to fight devils? Are you really not a human? I want to know it all!!"
Listening to her spout off question after question without so much as taking a breath, Grim couldn't stop himself from smiling and decided to indulge her curiousity in return for her answering questions of his own.
"First question!-
"What is your magic?" Megicula cut in.
"MEGICULA!!"
Ignoring her, Megicula waited for Grim to answer.
"My magic?"
Well it wasn't like he was trying to keep it a secret or anything.
"I've got Demon Slaying Magic." He answered truthfully.
Since he was planning to genocide their race anyway, it didn't matter whether they found out what his magic was now or later. The outcome wouldn't change.
"Demon Slaying Magic?" Megicula repeated as the gears in her head started turning.
"Intriguing."
"Coooool!!" Vanica awed ignoring her devil's mutterings.
"My turn." Grim smiled. "Lucifero... Do you know him?"
"Hmm?..." Vanica hummed thinking about how to answer.
-Well I don't know him personally. I mean I know that he's big brother Dante's devil contractor and that he's the ruler the underworld-
"One of the rulers of the underworld." Megicula corrected.
"Right right. But yeah, can't say I know much about him."
"Hmm... What about you Megicula?"
"Me?" She sounded surprised. "I was under the impression that the question was directed at Vanica."
"You're sharing the same body so I'm counting you as one person."
"But you clearly know that we're two different individuals."
"And yet I can only see one of you."
"...Very well."
Finding no fault in his words, she gave him a quick run down of what she knew about the devil that resided in the lowest level of the underworld.
"My turn!" Vanica jumped in moments after Megicula finished her explanation.
"Are you really not a human?" She asked.
-Because I've only fought humans before. Though it'd make sense that my first loss would be against someone like you. There's no way a human could do what you did."
To this question, even Megicula's ears perked up.
"I'm a half elf." He answered not going into to much detail.
"A half elf... I've never cursed one of those before." Megicula said in a quiet voice and looked at Grim with a weird expression.
"What's a half elf?" Vanica asked.
"That's another question."
"Dammit!" She pouted.
Finding her pouting oddly cute for a woman in her thirties, Grim asked his next question.
"How did you become a devil contractor?"
"Eh? That's your question?"
"Yep."
"Oh... Well its not like its a big thing or anything. Everyone in my family has a contract with a devil of some sort. Its just that me, Dante and Zenon were the only ones to ever make contracts with devils of such high rankings... Though Lucius did say that Zenon had the most potential out of all us when it came to using a devil's power, but he can't even beat me so what does he know!"
"Who's Lucius?"
"Eh eh eh." She wagged her finger in front of his face and smiled. "That's another question."
"But you haven't even answered my original question."
"Sure I did. You asked how I became a devil contractor, I told you. If you wanted to know how I contracted Megicula, *grins* you should have asked."
'...Fuck.'
Seeing that she had finally won against him, Vanica giggled and stuck her tongue out.
"Yeah yeah, hurry up and ask you're question already."
Watching as the two people who had not so long ago been on the verge of killing one another suddenly get along, Megicula couldn't help but find the dynamics of human emotions and interactions fascinating.
Oh how she loved to study them.

-Black Bulls Base-
-Yami POV-
"Dammit!"
Breathing heavily and staring up at the monsterous looking Dante, Yami couldn't but curse in his head.
'Why won't this bastard hurry up and die already?'
Sighing loudly, he took a look at the current king of the Spade Kingdom and shook his head.
"Looks like I really won't be able to beat this fucker by myself this time." He muttered.
"Dealing with his bullshit immortality and bottomless mana is a real pain. If I'm gonna win this one, I can't do it alone."
*Grins*
"Isn't that right ASTA!"
