"Well, if it makes you feel any better, I spent a good moment out of it after getting knocked out by a newspaper to the back of my head. So....I'd say I wasn't exactly the best performer."
Rosencrantz sighs.
"Or.....well, I'm pretty sure it was newspaper. I dunno. Didn't exactly remember what it was."
"When I say I copied you, I mean....you know? I stole a few tricks from you here and there. You know, since we've been fighting alongside each other and you've been kind of part of the reason we haven't been turned into demon chow, I kinda took a few pages from your book."
"Like, your 'not good enough' is 'peak performance' for most people, really. N-not to say you can't have a bad day, or something like that! We all got bad days, really. _{I had a bad few years, so I hope that takes up all the bad days for the rest of my life.}"

"Alright, glad I could help. Now, if you excuse me, I have something very important to get back to. And by important, I mean my afternoon power nap."
Belphegor hangs up.

"There's only one of them!"
"He's an oni, man......we can't take that!"
"ONE of them! Come one, there's more of us than him!"

And Largo proceeds to prove that, in fact, one man is....more than sufficient.

As the remaining Rogues stare at the Oni standing tall over them, their allies having fled the battlefield, they take one look at each other, and....
".....the boss doesn't pay us nearly enough."
"No, no he doesn't."

Just about every single remaining Rogue except for the ones guarding the Hokage directly immediately start running for the hills, climbing the walls of the compound, slipping out side doors and generally attempting to get away from the Warriors.

"W-where are you going?! T-they're still here! Idiots!"

All enemies except the Hokage and his Jounin bodyguards have fled. The Warriors all gain maxed-out Heat and an extra level!
Largo has received all dropped items!

"Can't silence me if I don't even know what they're trying to keep hidden. Not that I doubt the Goddesses would. Though I'm assuming Miss Pays-Me-Five-Hundred-Rhea-A-Month-For-Ten-Rolls-Water-Goddess also knows nothing."
Belphegor thinks briefly.
"Well. You didn't hear this from me, because....I'll be real honest, I wasn't present for this happening, nobody told me anything about it when I asked, and I've not been able to find any real evidence. And also, you want to keep this tidbit to yourselves and your friends, because the world might freak out a little bit if it knew. However.....there's something to suggest, and again, don't quote me.....that there's a defector among the Demon Generals. Someone who might know the truth and is willing to help you.

Now, you might say, no shit. Except....well, there are eight Demon Generals. Not seven. There have always been eight of us."

"Yeah, sorry. I sort of.....tuned him out. Mephistopheles went on too long when he explained it to us, ranting about revenge and....something. If you wanted a better answer than that, you'll have to find a Demon General who gives more than a sixth of a damn about being a Demon General. I'd like to be more help, but...."
The Demon General of Sloth, of course, does not need to explain.

"Napping tends to be a bad time for me, yes. I can make time for you, but make it quick. What is it you wanted again?"

".....seriously, are you guys masochists?"
