Book 4
"Hello, Guren."—To Guren, Chapter 1 The demon took a step forward. Inky blackness spread beneath his foot. "…" As the blackness spread, Guren had the sense that something precious in him had disappeared.—To Guren, Chapter 1 Guren felt the words’ seductive pull.—To Guren, Chapter 1 Guren’s eyes widened in surprise. But it was too late. Blackness. Everything went dark. And relentless power surged into his soul.—To Guren, Chapter 1
 * A voice spoke in the darkness.
 * "'Hijack' makes it sound like I’m doing something wrong. I’m here because you wanted me, Guren."—To Guren, Chapter 1
 * "It makes me very happy that you want me," the demon said, smiling. "You desire power, don’t you? You couldn’t have chosen better than me ♪ Once we get inside each other, you’ll be stronger than you could have ever imagined."
 * "Oh? But we’re going to be so close. We’re going to be together for the rest of our lives. You should say my name, too. It’s Noya. Go on, say it. Speak my name, and I’ll give you a night of overwhelming carnal pleasure."—To Guren, Chapter 1
 * "Guren," he said. "Look at me. Look at how close I am. But I want the last inch to come from you, Guren… Want me, Guren. Hold me. Give your mind and body over to me. Then… you’ll be able to protect them all." The demon smiled sardonically.
 * "Well? Are you just going to run away again? Say that you’re not prepared to make your move yet? That the timing isn’t right? I like humans who’re like that, too. The kind who can run away shamelessly when it’s their own skin on the line. But you’re different, aren’t you, Guren? I already heard that you were different."—To Guren, Chapter 1
 * "You’re just so lost, and gentle, and weak, that it’s hard not to love you. Once we join together, our strength will be unstoppable! …There’s no need for us to hurry, though. It will happen sooner or later. You’ll become a demon. Even if you don’t touch me today, you’ll reach out for me eventually… They’ll all be killed, because you weren’t able to protect them… And then you’ll turn into a demon out of absolute despair. That suits me fine. Either way, it’s too late to stop. You can’t help but turn into a demon. We’re already intertwined."—To Guren, Chapter 1
 * "Aha, Guren!" Noya shouted in rapture. "Wrong choice ♪ You’d think it would be obvious, but humans should never give up their humanity? You really didn’t know that? You’re so adorable!"
 * "--Next, let’s save Mito, Noya said. What will you do if they’ve raped her? I bet it would feel good to punish the rapists? How about if she’s been killed? I bet it would feel good to avenge her. There’s so much fun to be had in the human world! I can’t wait until you and I are one, and I can finally be set loose!"—To Guren, Chapter 2
 * "Really?  But I thought you were the loner.  I mean, you’ve never believed in anyone.  That’s why you sought me out.  Because no one else would help you."—To Guren, Chapter 4

Book 5
"Once, I was a human. "Once, I was a vampire. "And now, I am a demon. "What do you suppose I’ll become next? "What will I gain by causing you to fall and transform into a demon? "That’s what you want to know. Isn’t it? You’re in a pickle now. All out of clues. If you’re ever going to find Mahiru, you should probably listen to what I have to say. Don’t you think?"—To Guren, Chapter 5
 * "Don’t, Guren. I don’t want you touching any other demons… You belong to me. There’s no reason for you to mess with other demons."—To Guren, Chapter 3
 * "Don’t judge a book by its cover. Demons appear in their most pure, undiluted form, from when their desire was at its strongest. So I guess when I was most dewy-pure, and felt the most invincible, I must have looked around…"—To Guren, Chapter 5
 * "Once, I was nothing.
 * "You’re damn stupid, you know that? You shouldn’t trust a demon so easily."—To Guren, Chapter 5
 * "Don’t get all sappy on me, with that stupid look on your face. It’s embarrassing, you know… having somebody want you as strongly as that…."—To Guren, Chapter 5

Book 6

 * "Act as nice as you like, Guren, but the real you is still waiting inside… There was a demon living in your heart long before I ever got here. You always wanted to bow to no one, always wanted to have it all. Remember when you were a child, and you thought that all of your dreams would come true? The truth is, you still feel that way now… The kind of dreams that normal people would have given up on long ago, you hang onto like a child. You want these things so badly you can’t help it, not even if you have to hurt someone else to get them. I think that must be what Mahiru likes about you…. It’s what I like about you, too, Guren. Poor baby, someone killed your daddy. And now you’re trying so hard not to seem angry. Not to cry. Look at you, laughing, playing games with your friends. But all this time… all this time you’ve been thinking of ways to turn the whole world on its head."—To Guren, Chapter 2
 * "I bet other demons don’t have such demanding masters…"—Grumbling about Guren, Chapter 3
