   Summary

   More than anything in the world, Zenitsu wanted to have strength, courage, and a family — and so he diligently asked the Gods for them every time he was given the chance, sparing no prayers and paying no heed to Inosuke teasing him for it.
   But either the Gods did not possess hearing as sharp as his, or they had a very peculiar sense of humor.

   Kaigaku, on the contrary, had lost his faith long ago. He had once desperately searched for proof of the existence of divine powers that could balance everything out, only to find that the very higher power he had been looking for had belonged to demons all along.
   And in the end, they turned out to be more honest than the Gods he had been promised, yet never seen.
