Enter Flonne

The narrator tells us about the three universes: The Netherworld, Earth, and Celestia. We’re at a terminus built by ancient angels.

A “Cute Angel” enters the screen to speak to a distinguished looking man she calls Master Lemegaton. It's odd to name an angel after a book about demons, but what have ya? The two converse about the flowers, and the angel trainee, Flonne, wishes she could be just like them. Eventually, Lemegaton/Seraph brings up the task he has for Flonne: Kill King Krichevskoy.

NANI!!!

Next we see Flonne, she’s sneaking through Laharl’s palace, onomatopoeiaing the whole time. She wonders why Lemegaton assigned her to this task and not Master Volcanus. The scene switches to Celestia, where a man wearing a ramen bowl on his head and a mustache that connects to his ears complains. Lemegaton says this is a task only Flonne can do, and Volcanus expositions his feelings.

Back to Flonne, when she reaches the Prince’s room, she suggests she would be a great ninja. She then considers the morality of an assassin. Is it more okay to kill someone you know than a stranger? Laharl quickly interrupts her, which scares her, and she attacks. The two then talk for a bit as Flonne says she’s an assassin. It’s an odd thing to tell someone! Eventually, she says her target is the ruler of the Netherworld. Laharl says that's him, and Flonne assumes she can’t win like this and flees. Etna walks in and wonders what’s up before saying the Prinny guards partied themselves to sleep, and the chapter begins.

Before doing anything, I messed around with the Dark Assembly, an easily bribed Senate that we have to use to advance our shops. I get Eyewear, Belts, and eventually, Shows passed. I also make my last two friend characters. Xander is a thief, and our fifth for Smash, Mr. Funk, shoots things.

The GateKeeper says Flonne went to a place called the Frozen River. No one bothered to stop her because who wants to work these days?
Stage one a wide open battlefield covered in snow and zombies.
Stage two has our characters catching up to Flonne. We can’t do anything as she uses angelic magic to summon more zombies, which just makes sense. Flonne flees after telling the two of them to run if things get dangerous. There’s another scene on Celestia where Lemegaton talks to an unknown voice about a secret plan.
Stage three has Etna trying to burn Flonne with demon magic, but Flonne manages to reflect it. In hilarious fashion, it hits Laharl, who complains about his hair. There are more zombies here, but the real threat are the imps. They have a move that attacks the three squares in front of them and the two on the sides of that. Fortunately, they’re at the back and won’t come forward until you get close.
The last stage has Flonne summoning a dragon. Obviously, it’s big and scary, but once again, worry abound the imps. The dragon can only attack one character at a time, so get some combos with your party. Flonne is also a combatant, but all I saw her do was heal. Power of Love heals every target, friend or foe two squares around her in all directions.

Once we win, Laharl says Flonne could never kill him. She then asks why she would because he’s not King Krichevskoy. After Etna insults the news networks in Heaven, Laharl then says his dad, the actual target, is dead. Flonne begins to cry as this family will never see each other again. Since the Prince is so nonplussed by this, she begins to wonder if demons have emotions. She then wants to know if demons know love and wants to stay in Hell to find out. Laharl complains she sounds like his mother with all this talk of love before promising to make the angel rue her decision as the chapter ends.

The joke preview has Etna telling a story about Flonne being a killing machine. She then turns into a spaceship, so Etna must destroy her to save the world. Flonne now wants to be a space detective, but Etna puts the kibosh on that.

Space Detective Etna tomorrow!

The secret in Etna’s room is a demon has stolen her memories. It's mostly a reminder of that glimpse we tot in chapter one.
