Episode 7

"Angsty Teenage Boy" is the seventh chapter of the Demons Can't Be Pretty webcomic series.

Summary
Satan sends a text message to Haagenti asking about what to do when Beelzebub swallows a client's family member. His messages are read and ignored.

Beelzebub transforms back to his regular humanoid demon form, and Satan pleads for him to turn back into a dog and spit Haru's older brother out. Beelzebub pretends to play dumb, but eventually concedes. After being spit back out, Haru's older brother is understandably upset and wants to beat up the "arrogant bastard" who swallowed him. Satan points out Beelzebub as the culprit, and just as Haru's older brother is ready to fight him, Haru stops him. She tells him this is not the time to be fighting. Haru's older brother has the power of "reversal", meaning he could have flipped Beelzebub's skin inside out. However, Beelzebub only spit him out because he tasted bad.

Haru continues where she left off explaining Moloch's strange behavior. He uses strange phrases like "I'm dark as darkness", or "darkness and dark are the same thing". He annoys the hell out of Haru, and when she approaches him, he pushes her away. Satan immediately figures out that this is just your average crush from an angsty teenage boy, although Beelzebub and Kyu do not seem to know what he's talking about. Satan suggests that Haru can resolve this with a simple conversation. Haru writes a letter to Moloch, with all the things she wouldn't normally tell him in person, and that he's like a precious little brother to her.

After she finishes writing the letter, Haru gives it to Satan to deliver. She expresses doubt and anxiety that this will work, but Satan is confident and happy about succeeding on his very first case. During the delivery, he bumps into the home economics teacher again. She is carrying a Living Pest, a small white blob creature that repeatedly says "pyu" (they are apparently delicious even when eaten alive). As Satan picks up the letter he dropped and says bye to the home ec teacher, he does not notice her throwing the Living Pest away. She calls it a "dirty specimen",

The home ec teacher wants to "go back soon", "cook with real ingredients", and expresses resentment at staying in this "foul place". With these ominous words, the chapter ends with her eyes changing from red to a suspicious blue, as she tells herself, "at least this case is fun".
