*Sigh* I can't believe I messed up the starting time for practice by a whole hour.

And it's a Saturday, so no one else is even around at school…

Ugh, there's nothing to do. Somebody show up already!

Huh? Yoshiko? You're early today.

Zuramaru?! I could say the same to you!

*Giggle* Yesterday, I bought a book that I've been looking forward to for ages. I thought I'd read some of it in the clubroom before practice.

You sure are a bookworm.

Anyway, this worked out perfectly. I have something that I want to give to you.

To me?

Yup! I wanted to give you this.

“Deep Black Magic: A Complete Compendium”?

I saw it at the used books store yesterday. I thought you might like it.

Hmm. Methods to replenish magic, where to find entrances to the netherworld, recipes for special tonics brimming with dark energy…

This is awesome! This tome contains everything that any netherworld dweller would ever need to know!

You have quite the discerning eye, Zuramaru. I commend you for this.

I'm just happy that you like it, zura.

Moreover, the important thing is that you have pleased me. To think that you, Zuramaru, would endeavor to continue your little demon work by seeking out this tome…

Um, that's not what I…

There is no need to conceal your feelings any longer. Relax.

I, Yohane, shall carefully transform you into the perfect model of a little demon!
