Ex-V: Hey there! Welcome to In the Rain 5 :D I hope you enjoy your stay!

NARYU: I'm so glad you think so :) Yes, that's a focal point of this fanfiction!

xxxDreamingFlowerxxx: Yes, that's right :'D Emi really does have no idea. I'm sure Maou is just putting up with it on the way to the convenience store, which is, as you've mentioned, the only thing open twenty four hours! Of course, She'll have to learn it all eventually...

SSTrans: I'm so happy to hear that :D Here's some more for you!

mzsweetscorpio: Thank you so much :D

ael fyragh: XD Sounds about right!

Venus: Yes, my use of Italics is widely chronicled through the fanfiction archives :) In my stories, i tend not to use them for dramatic effect as much for arbitrary emphasis, to highlight certain tones or specifics, in a paragraph or sentence, as opposed to using them for a heightened efficacy on one or two lines out of the whole piece. That being said, I'm so happy to hear that you like it!

Thank you all, I really appreciate it! Try to enjoy this chapter for me!

(Twenty minutes later)

Maou walked, slowly, with Emilia, to the drug store; saying nothing, just watching her, exasperated, out of the corner of his eyes, as she talked on the phone to Rika.

"Are we going the right way-?" the Hero turned to Maou, interrupting herself, in the middle of a sentence, captivated by her conversation, paying no attention to her surroundings.

"We are." He replied, calmly, patiently, keeping his wits about him.

She sniffed, and returned to her phone call. "So, then, Maou pushed me up against a wall, and raped me-"

"I did not-!" He snapped, twitching, when he heard Rika gasp, on the other end of the phone line.

"Yeah-" the Hero ignored Maou, summarily, huffing. "And then he said he was going to marry me, even If I'm not pregnant, and his thing went between my legs, where I pee from-"

Maou snatched the phone out of Emi's hands, silently, fuming, as she yelped at him. "Hey-!"

"Rika, Why doesn't Emi know anything about sex-?" The king of hell's voice was icy, and he paid the hero no mind, as she protested, vehemently, reaching for her phone.

Rika giggled. "She knows some stuff, like about penises and how they get big if a guy wants to take your clothes off-"

"She thinks I raped her-!" Maou hissed, furious.

"You did!" Emi snapped, from beside him, and passersby on the street gave them weird looks. "Jerk!"

"I know, I know, But I wasn't going to tell her anything." Rika shrugged, guiltily. "Why would I tell her? Besides, if you kissed her, and she didn't consent, that's sexual assault. You pervert-!"

He ground his teeth, acknowledging the point, after a moment. "Listen, I'm sure you understand why I don't want to be the one to talk with her about the difference between kissing and sex-"

"I do understand-" Rika grinned. "That's why I'm going to make you do it-"

Ex-V: Did you have fun? Did you like it?
