Akuji/Plot

#### Introduction

Akuji is introduced to the story when Akuji knocks on Neo's door and proposes that they have some fun together with two women he brought. Annoyed, Neo tells the drunken demon that he’s not in the mood right now which causes Akuji to teasingly ask if Neo already had a woman in his quarters. Neo sternly orders at Akuji to leave and the latter does so with the two women he brought.

Akuji appears once more much later after Neo reveals Nadia's fate to Rouge. From behind the door, Neo revels in her cries until he is approached by a grinning Akuji. Teasingly, Akuji asks him if it’s still the same girl he had over before, further inquiring if he had finally fallen for someone. Neo just looks away with a coy smile on his face which Akuji took as a yes. Akuji then proceeds to joke about how heartbroken Rey must be and asks Neo if he could see her while pressing his ear to the door. That is when Akuji hears Rouge’s cries and is shocked, looking at Neo who asks him if he’s on his side and tells him that he will get to spend all the time he wants with the goddess just beyond that door if he continues to be on his side. Just before leaving, Neo takes in Rouge’s beautiful cries once more and exhales, making sure to bar the door using his mage-craft so Akuji couldn't enter.

#### Akuji vs Blanc

Akuji doesn't hide his attraction to Blanc throughout their whole fight. Akuji then offers to spare Blanc’s life, going on about how much of a waste it would be to kill someone as pretty as him. Blanc refuses to back down and summons his weapon, pointing it Akuji who isn't fazed at all in the slightest. Blanc yells at him to bring out his weapon so they can fight. Smugly, Akuji tells him that he’s free to make the first move which Blanc didn't waste time in doing and fires his ice arrows. Akuji throws a smoke bpmb before the ices could reach him and appears behind Blanc who tries to flee. The demon strikes Blanc in the back with his poison sebons, causing him to fall hard on his face. Blanc gets up and drives his ice arrow into his own leg to snap his body out of the poison's advancing effects. Blanc is met by another smoke bomb which Akuji used as an opportunity to attack him with his stun baton. Blanc is able to evade all his strikes but he was still slowly dying from the poison. Fortunately, the ghost of Xiomara is able to give him the strength he needs to use his ultimate attack and Blanc skewed Akuji with his ice pillars. Blanc succumbs to the poison and dies with his body being soon discovered by the others.

After kidnapping Rey, Vincent and the rest of his followers leave, leaving Rouge and Casimir to bleed out on the ground. As their mansion was being consumed by flames, Casimir used the last ounce of strength left in his gravely wounded body to crawl over to his equally dying daughter to comfort her in their final moments.

Rey's name was what Rouge managed to sputter out in her guttural and hoarse voice that was a result of her having her vocal cords so severely damaged. Casimir saved her from experiencing any more pain by gently hushing her and while cradling his daughter close, he cursed the whole Underworld for bestowing such a cruel fate to his dear family.

## Underworld Arc

Casimir appears within Rouge’s mind alongside Darcy when her brain shuts down following Blanc Isolde’s death. Casimir gives the encouragement she needs to get out of her stupor and return to the real world

Casimir doesn't follow after Darcy when he leaves, instead consoling four-year-old Rouge who begun to cry, believing that she did something wrong. After pinky-swearing that everything would be alright, Casimir sends Rouge outside to play. Blair Bellerose overheard all the commotion from upstairs and went down to confront her husband who tried to quell her worries but the lady of the mansion knew better. Blair was adamant in her belief that the archdemons would have him killed and went to the backyard where Rouge played with the maids. She snatched up her daughter who became frightened at her suddenness. Blair turned to Casimir who had followed her and told him that her and Rouge would be staying in a tavern for now on. Rouge's eyes became wide at this and she began to struggle in her mother's grasp as Casimir pleaded with her. However, Blair wouldn't be deterred and went to the front of the mansion all the while Rouge screamed for her father. Despite his emotional pain, Casimir managed to smile at her and reminded her of the pinky-swear which promised that small that everything would be alright. Blair and Rouge sped away in the carriage, leaving Casimir all alone to be killed years later by the Viscera Purgers.

Elliot/Plot

#### Introduction

Sherbet Summers falls right into his **Pandora’s Box**’s clutches after the falling out she had with Kazuki. As Sherbet is running through the dark dormitory halls, she bumps into Elliot who. Elliot holds out his hand to Sherbet to help her up but she doesn't take it and gets up on her own. Elliot points out the sadness he senses within which aggravates the tanuki and she turns to leave but its useless as she is fully trapped within his dark dimension. Desperate in her escape, Sherbet pushes past Elliot only to hit the other side of his **Pandora's Box** hard. She remained face down on the ground as Elliot prowled closer to her. Once he was close enough, Sherbet threw a shuriken at his face but it missed, slicing the bandages covering the top portion of his face instead. Elliot's kind persona does a complete 180 as he grabs her by the neck and orders her to beg for him to let her go. Sherbets tells him to bite her, resulting in her being choke-slammed.

Kazuki arrives outside of the dormitory building right as a large black box had risen out of the shadows. The box opens, revealing Elliot standing with his foot weighing down on the chest of the paralyzed Sherbet Summers. Kazuki runs towards the cryptid canid but he too is paralyzed and collapses. Laughing, Elliot mocks the human, asking him in a very condescending manner if he really thought he could escape his **Pandora’s Box** that easily as he reveals that shadows generated by those cobras after Kazuki killed them were actually poisonous fumes that he was unknowingly breathing in. Elliot manipulates Sherbet's body, making her attack Kazuki with her kusari-fundo. Against her will, Sherbet strangles Kazuki with the weapon's chain.
