The Hero Enters the Fray

Sadao Maou: All right Chi, tell me the truth. Aren't you a little weirded out that we're...

Chiho Sasaki: What, that you're demons and angels from another world?

Sadao Maou: Yeah, um... that

Chiho Sasaki: Well, since you ask, I'd be lying if I said it didn't bother me. But Yusa and I have been texting each other back and forth. So I've learned a lot about who you are, and the things you've done.

[blushes]

Chiho Sasaki: But I fell for you way before I knew about any of that stuff, so nothing can change the way I feel about you now. I mean, just look at that face. That is *not* the face of a person that wants to take over the whole world.

Sadao Maou: Yeah, about that...

Chiho Sasaki: Miss Yusa did everything she could to keep me from falling for you, 'cause she was trying to save me from getting hurt. But I *know* what's in my heart, and I won't turn away from it. The only person who can ever stop me from caring about you is *me*. Even if you just think of me as a friend, or a trusted co-worker that's totally fine. Because that won't change things. It's not going to change my mind about how I feel, and it's certainly not going to make me act differently towards you.

Sadao Maou: Ah, jeez, this is what makes you humans so scary, you know that?

Chiho Sasaki: I do - especially as a girl. Mess with one of *us* and you might need a bodyguard.
