Kapitel 13: S+S-S=SSS

{Don't take this chapter to seriously. Please don't.

Think of it as a side story.}

-----------------------------------------------------------------

After having a long conversation with Griffon, Dante was there sitting on a couch with Griffon on his shoulders sleeping and shadow on his lap resting and petted him while watching the news. It was about some government official being corrupt and has been exposed to the public. But he didn't really care about it.

He then sensed Yoo Soohyun walking towards the house. "Griffon, go back." Dante said as he stood up from the couch.

Griffon flew to the window and saw Soohyun walking home with what seemed to be bags of clothes. "So she's the mistress. From what I can see, she's not bad at all. You've got yourself a good one, Dante."

He snickered when hearing that. "I wish. I don't have Dante's charisma nor Vergil's. Now go back before she catches you. Shadow, you can go in my shadow so you can stay here."

'Plus I was the nerd of my class in my past life. You think I'd be able to get a girl? How delusional can you be.' Dante thought. It wasn't fitting for someone with his name but that's who he was as a person.

Shadow nodded as he sunk into my shadow while Griffon complained. "And that's equality? Now that's some bullsh-"

His beak was quickly closed by Dante and he sighed seeing him. "Look, I'll let you guys flap your wings afterwards. Right now, getting used to this world is the most important. I'll decide what I do when I see it. We'll go to dungeons and you'll be able to do what you want. Okay?"

"Fine. You owe me one." Griffon said as he disappeared in a burst of lightning.

Dante chuckled. "I think I owe you more than just one." Griffon had helped Dante a lot. His mind was still foggy on how exactly he wants to act but it helped him get to know his problems. Problems that he didn't voice out before.

In simple terms, Griffon was a therapist. A damn good one.

Soon enough, Yoo Soohyun arrived as she dropped the bags on the floor. "I'm home." She said as she entered the room.

Dante saw her freeze up when she saw him. "I forgot that I'm not living here alone anymore." Soohyun facepalmed while he just shrugged. "Get used to it."

'Seems like I was right about her not being able to sense shadow. Or that would of been very awkward.' Dante thought.

"Wow. You look great in that outfit, Kim Yuwon." He had changed his clothes and put his Dante outfit in his inventory. Now he wore a casual black T-Shirt and black jeans.

"I know I do. Now let's go do that modeling thing. Need to get my money now." Dante got up and took a jacket putting it on.

'Narcissistic. Hm... actually he'd fit more in the arrogant category. At least he isn't trying to flirt with me like Lee Minsung so that's a plus.' She thought as she followed him out.

When they got out of the house, she opened up her garage and their came out a flashy car. It was a sports car that he didn't know the brand of but it had an azure phoenix on it. The car itself had no rooftop and its color was a bright red.

"That's quite the car you've got there." Dante remarked. He had never loved expensive things and an expensive car was something he didn't enjoy looking at. There were so many better things to buy with that kind of money.

How many pizzas could you buy with that money? Too many to know what to do with them was the answer.

She rolled her eyes hearing his comment as she started driving her car. "Well I have to give off a good image so I bought it cause my manager kept nagging me about it. I have a normal Subaru car though, it's got a bunny plushy inside it."

"I didn't need to know about the bunny you know. Let's get this over with."

'And isn't Subaru Japanese?"

Her driving speed was not that great despite being in a sports car. To Dante, it seemed that this person preferred to not cause any trouble and would rather avoid it.

"Yeah yeah, stop nagging. You're reminding me of my mom." Soohyun exclaimed.

He chuckled and looked to the side seeing the busy street filled with cars and people.

After a while, they arrived at a building and she parked in front of it. When getting out of the car, two women dress in suits came up to her and gave her a card while one went to the car and was given the keys.

This seemed more like a hotel then a place to model but maybe it had changed after being in contact with Gates. Actually a lot has changed from his original Earth.

This society had adapted the power source known as mana into their system. Electricity was still used the most but this new source had helped new inventions. While getting here, he could see truck filled with crystals on its back and hunters guarding them.

This wasn't Earth. And he shouldn't think of this world like it.

"Are you asleep or what? If you're not coming then there'll be no pay for you." Coming out of his daydreaming, he saw Soohyun pulling him to the building and into the elevator.

While doing so, he could hear a lot of murmuring and it seemed that a lot of them knew of her as they spoke about her bringing a handsome guy which brought out a smirk out of him.

They finally arrived on the set and he could see cameras, lighting and a lot of people preparing everything. Soohyun went to a man who seemed to be in charge and talked to him. Before he had time to hear about what they were talking about.

A woman came up to him and bowed politely. "Would you please follow me to the dressing room, sir."

"Oh god. How much time will it take to finish?"

"Hm... about an hour and a half."

While Dante was contemplating his life choices and being dragged to the dressing room, Yoo Soohyun spoke to the director of the studio.

"You're telling me that you brought an unknown man here instead of the celebrity like Lee Minsung." He rubbed his eyes. "Look Soohyun, I normally trust your judgement but can this man even model? Has he ever had experience doing this sort of thing? He'll maybe be so stiff that we wouldn't even be able to take a picture correctly."

"I know but please give him a chance. If he can't do anything then it'll all be on me and no one will be blamed but me." Soohyun pleaded. To her, it was like she found a diamond in the rough. It just needed a bit more polishing.

"That's the thing! Do I look like I want you to take the blame? I'm saying this because I don't want to cause unnecessary trouble." The director didn't want an unknown man take the risk of doing this.

But he eventually gave in as he trusted Soohyun. She was the most competent model that he had ever worked with. "Fine. But you said just today, right? Then it will only be today and no more."

'You're gonna wish you hadn't said that.' She thought as she giggled.

After an exhausting hour of prep, Dante got out of the dressing room with fancy clothes that the author is too lazy and ignorant to describe it.

When coming out, he could see that everyone was looking at him. 'Wish my Dante skills was working at this moment. Thank god I don't look like him or I'll be a disgrace to all DMC fans.' He thought as he looked away.

"You look a lot cuter when embarrassed Yuwon." Soohyun laughed at him.

Looking at her, she was already in her outfit as she was prepared for this. "You look a lot more beautiful when you don't speak." Dante snapped back.

"I won't if we start the modelling. We've got a whole day ahead of us so don't get too tired."

'Yay. I'm so excited.' Dante thought sarcastically as he followed her to the shoot.

It took the entire day to do photo shoots. Dante had to constantly change outfits and take on weird poses. While the whole time, Soohyun was just there grinning at him.

To others, it seemed that they were having a great time and some even speculated that something was going on between the two. But to Dante, it was the most boring thing he had done in all his life.

Boring and tiring. That was all there was to this job.

He vowed deep inside his heart that he would never model again.

But one good thing that he had gained was an achievement.

[Achievement Unlocked: 'Smokin' Sexy Style'.]

'Just like in the games. A faithful adaptation.' Apparently he had gained this achievement by impressing these people. By being 'sexy'. Whatever that meant. But that made him realize something.

He didn't need to fight to gain these achievements. And he would exploit this in the future.

[Random Reward Processing...]

[You've gained 'Devil Arm Nevan'.]

'Nevan? That chick that flirts with Dante in DMC 3... Nice.'

[Item: Devil Arm Nevan

Description: What weapon does a green skinned red haired woman demon transform into? A guitar. Obviously. A guitar that can use electricity and blood bats as a weapon. It is used to play good rock music while slaughtering monsters. It has the ability to transform itself into a scythe that will rip and drain ones soul.]

'Well more weapons isn't something I'm against. Though this isn't too inconspicuous as an electric guitar is really loud. But still, the more the merrier.'

After getting through all of that, he had gained his pay. By check...

He really needed a bank account. And a phone but thankfully, Soohyun let him borrow one of her phones. It was a crappy one and it was like the 65th version of the phone from the company called 'Pearl'.

Still this experience wasn't bad too him. As now Dante focused on something else, Dungeons.

He needed to raid dungeons.

A whole lot of them.

{Devil Arms are demonic, variably sentient weapons that are the manifestation of a defeated Demon's soul or power. In the Devil May Cry series, Devil Arms are considered to be some of the most powerful weapons wielded. When wielded, Devil Arms often convey their power to the wielder, provided they have been subdued first.

There are two ways for a Devil Arm to be created; A demon will turn into a weapon of overwhelming power if it has been defeated and becomes submissive, or a demon will change into a weapon if there is a strong emotional bond present.}
