"Oh dear Demon Lord, Urushihara, will you please, just this once, do SOMETHING to help out this household?!" yelled the overly-frustrated "housewife" of Villa Rosa, Ashiya.

Urushihara, the object of Ashiya's anger, turned his head lazily to glance at him. "I do do something to "help this household"," he stated, forming air quotes around the phrase he took from Ashiya's rant. "I work the computers; as you're all so hopeless at it."

"Show some more respect towards the people who are feeding you! Maou-sama and I work ridiculously hard every day in order to keep this household afloat, and you undo it all by lazing around, eating snacks, playing video games, and wasting all our money!"

"Ashiya…" the aforementioned "Maou-sama" and part-time worker at MgRonalds spoke in a warning tone.

"Hmmph. You speak like it's so hard to be you, but it's really not. I bet that, if I wanted to, I could get an awesome job and earn double in one week what you and Maou earn in a whole month!"

"Yeah right! That would never happen! You're just a lazy NEET who can't do anything but mooch off of our supplies!"

"It's better than being an over-working, miserly housewife!"

"That's it! I'm done with you! Get out! And don't come back until you've thought over your actions and have returned to apologize!"

"Fine! I will!"

"Fine."

"Fine."

And with that, Urushihara stood up, turned on his heel, and stormed out the door of Villa Rosa.

Urushihara stood on the streets of Tokyo, finally catching his breath after running all the way out there in a fit of rage. As he glanced around, finally taking note of his surroundings, he realized he was stood in front of a small store. A sign for video games caught his eye.

Well, it's not like I have anything better to do anyway, right? He smirked, and entered the shop.

It was rather small, with only a few shelves of games, and one employee at the back counter, but Urushihara didn't mind. He wandered over to the first shelf, the one on the far left of the door, and began browsing for something he wanted. Due to the unfortunate lack of selection, however, he couldn't find a game that he wanted or didn't have already. This was probably for the best though, as he didn't have any money, or any of Maou's credit cards, to use to pay for it.

Just as he was about to exit, a sign with the words 'Karaoke' written on it caught his eye. It was located in the back section of the store, above a closed door, and was easily overlooked.

Karaoke… That's a human singing thing, right? Hmmmmm…. It's been a while since I last sung… But where's the harm? It's not like I'll be singing for anyone….

Having made up his mind, Urushihara walked over to the back of the shop, but stopped short. Underneath 'Karaoke' on the sign was a price tag. 1200 yen for a room? That's a lot… And way more than I have…

As he was turning around to leave, he accidentally bumped into a teenage girl who had come up behind him. She had long, teal hair, reaching a little past her knees, tied into two twintails mounted on the sides of her head. She was wearing a sleeveless gray top with a teal tie, a dark gray pleated skirt, thigh-high black boots, black, fingerless gloves that reached up to just below her shoulders, and finally, a red tattoo of '01' on her left shoulder.

"Oh gosh, I'm sorry! I didn't mean to hit you like that! Hey, are you going to be using the karaoke room?"

"I'm fine. And I was, but I don't actually have the money…"

"That's ok! Would you like to come sing with me? I'm kind of on my own right now, and singing by myself isn't as much fun!"

While Urushihara definitely disagreed with her on the whole 'singing alone' thing, he wasn't going to turn down the opportunity to sing, for free no less. So, he said yes, and after the girl paid the employee for the room, he followed her in.

Hi! So, this is a new idea I just wanted to publish. How do you think I did? And I don't really have much of it planned out. So, I'm open to suggestions! Particularly on songs the characters should sing. A quick warning; I have no update schedule. Basically, I'll update when I have time and motivation to write, and I have no clue when that might be. Sorry! And before I forget; Vocaloid and The Devil Is a Part-Timer! do not belong to me. I think that's it! Thanks for reading, and have a good day! (or night)
