    Written by Natsume Akatsuki. Art and cover by Kakao Lanthanum. Translated by Noboru Akimoto.

    It's been pure chaos ever since Six hit the scene, earning himself a slew of unsavory nicknames such as "The Fly." Snow's been no better, running herself deep into debt with every loan she takes out to feed her sword addiction. Meanwhile, the people of the Kingdom of Grace are experiencing a severe water shortage because no one can bring themselves to use the weather machine, still locked behind the activation phrase that Six changed to "Dick Festival."

    To make up for it, Tillis sends Six to a neighboring country to collect magical water-producing stones...and somehow, he causes the country to declare war. How exactly does that fit into the plan for world domination...?

    Combat Agent Six's latest mission from the Kisaragi Corporation is to fortify their base on the planet and expand their territory. But there's just one problem with that. Six had to requisition a Destroyer in their last epic battle and now his Evil Point balance is in the negative. Again. He'll have to think up some nefarious schemes (or petty crimes, if we're being honest) to get those points back, fast!

    Meanwhile, Grimm has her hands full with the Undead Festival and tries to think up creative ways to cut corners. Nothing can possibly go wrong...

    In the week since Lilith arrived, the Demon Lord's army has seen significant losses, prompting an invitation to Six and the others for negotiations.

    After the "self-destruction" of the Demon Lord Viper, relative peace returns to the Kisaragi base, allowing Six and the others to direct their attention to more important matters. For example, how sexy the new recruit's evil executive look is! But in no time at all, chaos descends yet again. Tillis has gone missing in a neighboring country! Alice immediately launches an investigation and Six is the first to volunteer, citing the fact that adventure is way more fun than managing a town. It looks like some new enemies have placed their pieces on the board. But will they be a match for everyone's favorite evil organization?
