376 The monarch of the first circle-part three-

"I want to get some info first, Dante, can you help us?" Asked Alfonso.

"Of course, and I know the person for the job!" Said Dante.

"However…" Said Dante with a funny face.

"What?" Asked Alfonso.

"Mmm… rather than explained, it's better if you see it for yourself" Said Dante.

.......................................................................................

Alfonso, Dante and company walked towards the main hall, where Alfonso first arrived.

"Oh? Dante, you are quite early nya~" 

In the front desk, Lei was in her cat form was resting in the desk.

"Lei, is Deko still in the hotel?" Asked Dante.

Lei made a disgusted face and she transformed into her human form, however, this time, she wasn't completely naked, she wore a classic Victorian maid uniform.

"Why do you want to see such a disgusting guy nya?" Asked Lei.

"Because my friend here needs information" Said Dante.

Lei turned towards Alfonso.

"Let me warn you something nya, yes, that disgusting guy can provide a lot of information, but…"

"The price to pay for that information is too high" Said Lei.

"Why? What does this Deko guy want for his information?" Asked Alfonso.

"It's better if you see it for yourself nya" Said Lei.

Lei guided Alfonso and company towards the hall until they arrived in one room.

"303" Though Alfonso.

Lei knocked the door twice.

After exactly one minute, the door opened and a huge guy with a mouth that went from his left ear to his right ear opened it.

"What business do you have?" Said the man.

"These guesses want to meet lord Deko" Said Lei respectfully.

"Did you bring stuff?" Asked the man.

"No we didn't" Said Lei.

"Are you aware of the consequences of pissing off the lord!?" Said the man with anger.

"I am putting my credibility on the line" Said Lei.

"You! Who do you think y-!?"

"LET THEM IN" 

A penetrating voice came from inside the room. Everyone's breath stopped.

"C-come in" Said the man with a trembling voice.

Alfonso left Cerberus and Drakini at the door and he, with Dante and Lei, entered the room.

The room was way bigger than Alfonso's. In fact, one could think that this room was most likely a night club than a room.

Loud music sounded in all the place, however, he could figure out what kind of genre… or even what kind of instrument the song was using. In fact, the lyrics were quite difficult to understand as well.

Alfonso looked at the sides, and he saw men and women laughing and drinking.

"Exactly like an earth's night club" Though Alfonso.

"But… calling them men and women are a bit ambiguous"

"Some noble demons think that humans are a disease, vulgar and inferior, that's why they try their best to avoid humanoid forms nya" Said Lei.

"I see" Said Alfonso.

They pass the creatures and arrived in one dark room when someone was waiting for them.

*PING*

Suddenly, an object when flying straight towards Lei!

However, she remained unperturbed as the object went straight towards her.

Just as the object was about to pierce her eye, witch a quick movement of her hand, she grabbed the object and throw it back!

*PUM*!

The object incrusted itself a few centimeters away from a person sitting in a large couch.

"As fierce as always, Lei" Said the man with a smile.

"Deko, as annoying and disgusting as always" Said Lei.

A man wearing a black suit and black hat greet them.

He was surrounded by four females that were massaging his legs and arms.

"And who are these two?" Asked Deko.

"My friends" Said Lei.

"The infamous Dante, so you finally become bored with laying in the bridge?" Said Deko.

"Haha, calling me infamous is a little mean don't you think?" Said Dante.

"And yet… still acting like an idiot? If you are insulting me by that act, then you shouldn't expect me to treat you with respect either" Said Deko.

Dante sighed but didn't say anything.

"However, this little man over here sure is interesting… Alfonso right?" Said Deko.

"You knew?" 

"No one breath in the circles of hell without me knowing" Said Deko.

"So… can you provide me with information?" Asked Alfonso.

"Of course I can, the question here is, can you pay?" Asked Deko.

"I have money" Said Alfonso while showing a golden coin.

"HAHA" Deko laughed.

He searched in his pocket and, in a second, more than 100 hundred gold coins appeared at his side.

"Gold coins? Two may be worth for people of the lower circles… as for me? They are only accessories; I can have as much as I want just by saying the word" Said Deko.

"Then… what do you want?" Asked Alfonso.

"What can you offer?" Asked Deko.

Alfonso didn't know what else could he offer apart from his gold coins.

"Deko, stopped biting around the bush and tell him your conditions nya" Said Lei.

"Lei, you have become ruder and ruder over time" Said Deko.

"Because it gets harder and harder to meet you without throwing up nya" Said Lei.

"Ha!" Laughed Deko.

He extended his arm until he grabbed the chin of Lei.

"Have you consider my propose?" Said Deko.

Lei looked down and her eyes become brighter. In a second, Deko retired his hand and a clean-cut appeared in the ground.

"Touch me again and I assure you that I won't miss this time nya" Said Lei.

"How scary~" Said Deko.

He turned to look at Alfonso and smiled.

"What I want… is that cane of yours" Said Deko.

Alfonso, by instinct, put the cane behind him.

"Impossible" Said Alfonso.

Deko stood up and walked towards Alfonso.

"That cane… has some power that… intrigues me" Said Deko.

"GIVE IT TO ME" Said Deko with an imposing voice.

"Don't think that I am a pushover either" Said Alfonso while his hair turned white.

Alfonso's will rose will Deko took off his hat revealing four pairs of horns.

"Don't be too arrogant"

"HUMAN"
