Oralee/Plot

## Plot

#### Introduction

Oralee was introduced in the story when Kazuki is teleported out of the Forever-still Space and into The Underworld. The young demoness was stationed at a sweets stall with Lita when she notices Kazuki's distress and trots over to him. Pulling down the hood of her Viscera Purgers's cloak, Oralee squats down and presents him with with a candy apple. Kazuki almost takes a bite from it but stops himself after realizing she was showing him the part that she ate from. After noticing his lack of horns, the small demoness begins ruffling through his hair in search of his missing demonic appendages. Lita runs over to the pair and started to reprimand Oralee but the younger demoness begs her take Kazuki to a good restaurant. Lita is reluctant before finally relenting and at the restaurant the swarthy demoness introduces herself. She apologizes to Kazuki for Oralee's actions which the human accepts and thanks them for the meal. As Kazuki was digging in, Lita questions him on his race, bringing up his lack of horns which nearly makes Kazuki choke on his food. Lita apologizes profusely for this while Kazuki struggles to recover and for payback, Lita tells Kazuki that he’s allowed to ask her anything he wants. Kazuki hesitates before bringing up the strange cloaks that they were wearing. Oralee answers for her comrade, explaining that they belong to an organization known as the Viscera Purgers who are responsible for all sorts of charity work. Lita expresses her surprise that Kazuki knew nothing about them, assuming that he was a denizen of the Underworld like herself.

Outside, Kazuki bows and thanks them again for the meal. Lita asks him if he’ll be alright on his own and he replies with an unsure yes. Out of the blue, Oralee blesses Kazuki which startles him at first but he composes himself and thanks her with another bow.

#### Investigating Rouge's Disappearance

Kazuki crosses paths with Oralee and Lita once more as they were blessing a group of young urchins. Lita asks if Kazuki and his friends came for a blessing but the human shakes his head and brings up Rouge's disappearance. Lita tells him that she hasn't seen her but promises to keep an eye out her the melancholic demoness. When Kazuki returns to his group of friends, they bring their suspicions about Lita and Oralee but the human isn't convinced that they are directly involved in Rouge's disappearance. However, an unsettling feeling forms in his stomach and Kazuki turns back to where the female purgers were. He panics after seeing that they had disappeared but Ember tells him that they should continue searching for Rouge.

#### The End

Oralee walks in on Neo as he was about to kill Lita. The older demoness took off her bloodied cloak and throws it at Oralee, the cloak blanketing the younger's head. Oralee is then transported far away from the mansion where she soon runs into Ember Hertz who was out shopping for another grimoire. Oralee is hysteric as she begs the hellhound to help her who takes her to a coffee shop where she can explain everything. The young demoness explains that Neo murdered Lita and now she going to die too. Ember reassures Oralee that she won't let her die and brings her to the Forever-still Space where she can be safe. Oralee suddenly collapses and screams that the ghosts have found her, the ghosts being the souls of the dead purgers of the fist generation with her mother being one of them. Ember saves her at the cost of her own, by transferring the souls into her own body through her Mark of the Beast brand. Ember bled black blood from every orifice on her body as she told Oralee that she's safe now. The hellhound reaches her hand out for the demoness who grabs, squeezing it tightly with tears in her eyes. The last thing Ember saw before was Oralee glowing as she transported herself and Ember back into the Underworld where she uses the magic coach to go to where Kazuki and the others were. Ember comes back to life as her and Oralee walk hand and hand towards Kazuki. Kazuki is relieved to see Oralee alive but the two other members of the Take-down Squad were wary until Ember told them not to worry and that she was their side. Nodding, Oralee releases the hellhound’s hand and takes a step forward, using her newly acquired ability as the Child of Light. Glowing, Kazuki and his friends levitated as Oralee tearfully thanked them from the bottom of her heart for all they’ve done and sends them back to their homeworld.
