Entering the dining room and sitting at the table, Yuki noticed that there was unspoken tension between Beel, Mammon and Lucifer.

"...Aw, normally everyone's so happy and full of energy at breakfast. But things are sooo tense today!" whined Asmodeus as he tried to get the perfect shot of his breakfast but couldn't focus due to the atmosphere of the room.

"After hearing about what happened last night, I'm not surprised." piped in Satan as he glanced over his book on spells

"How about you, Levi? You weren't involved in the drama at all?"

"I haven't left my room in the three days since master of diablo released. That's my new game, I've been busy trying to finish it. It's an open-world game set in the human world. Which you try to destroy by asserting control over Diablo, lord of the underworld. It's AMAZING."

"so, you're playing yet another game with inappropriate themes...still, I have to admit, sometimes there are advantages to being a shut-in. You avoid getting caught up in unpleasant business, like what happened last night." sighed Satan as he closed his book.

"yeah, you can definitely say that. Just look at Beel. He's on his sixth cup of soup. That's only half his normal pace." stated Asmodeus as he took a quick picture of the scene.

"i see that Mammon has the same stupid look on his face as he always does." smirked Satan.

"Hey! What's that about my face now?! You all! Stop whisperin' over there! If you've got somethin' to say. Just come out and say it!"

Calmly placing his fork down on the table Asmodeus smugly spoke "I don't know what you're talking about. We weren't whispering. Don't have a hissy fit, Mammon."

"You know, we weren't able to use the kitchen until yesterday, as someone had destroyed it, so I'd say we're the victims here." added Satan as he glared at the culprits. Slumping further down in his chair as he sipped his soup Beel rolled his eyes from Mammon towards Lucifer, who just sat there completely composed ignoring the bickering between his brothers.

Looking down at her food, Yuki pushed it away from herself as the tension became too much to withstand. Standing up she began to head off to class early. "...Yuki" stopping at the door, she turned around to see what Lucifer wanted. "Would you come see me in the music room before heading to class?" feeling her heat beat rapidly in her chest, she could hear her voice crack as she responded "O-Okay."

"I'll be there waiting for you" he then rose from the table and passed Yuki on his way to the music room.

"Ooh, Lucifer wants to see Yuki? Yikes! Super scary!" Asmodeus playfully mentioned.

"Pff...careful Asmodeus. He might hear you." Satan scolded as he elbowed his brother in the arm.

Looking at the table, Yuki could see that all three of the demons she's made pacts with are looking over at her now with worried looks on their faces, she then began contemplating on having one of them accompany her part of the way to the music room but decided to go there herself. "I'll be alright. Besides it's Lucifer. He won't do anything that'll ruin Diavolo's reputation" giving a reassuring smile she then made her way to the music room as everyone else made their way to school.

"Ah, you're here. I assume you know what it is I want to talk to you about. It's regarding last night."

Gulping, Yuki braced herself for a harsh scolding, but when she looked at Lucifer, he gave a sorrowful look "What I did to you was inexcusable. I apologize." giving a blank stare Yuki then heard Lucifer continue "However, there's one thing I want to make absolutely clear. As long as they consent to it. I have no problem with you making pacts with my brothers. However, your curiosity is getting the better of you. I want you to stop sticking your nose where it doesn't belong. I believe I warned you not to climb the stairs leading up to the attic. And yet you did exactly that. I'm the only demon able to go up there. There's a spell cast on the stairs that ensures that. However, it only works on demons- humans and angels are still able to pass...unfortunately. As I'm sure you've found, there's nothing at all at the top of those stairs." Standing there silently Yuki came to the conclusion that Lucifer doesn't know that she came in contact with Belphegor. "Curiosity killed the cat. If you behave yourself, you'll complete your year here in the exchange program. At which point, we'll return you to the human world. I imagine that last night served as somewhat of a learning experience for you." slowly nodding her head at Lucifer, he continued "Still, the fact remains that I put you through a very scary experience. Sometime in the near future, I'd like to treat you to a meal out somewhere to make it up to you. Well, that's all I had to say. You're free to go."

Entering the school, Yuki got pulled into a room by Mammon. "Hey, how about that! Yuki, you're alive!"

Being examined by Beelzebub he smiled "Let's see.... Yep, you've still got both arms and both legs, your eyes are still in their sockets, and your ears are still attached. Guess you're okay."

"I want to know what Lucifer did. You've got to give me the deets L-8-R, yo!" Leviathan added.

"Man. There you go again! 'give me the deets L-8_R, yo' ?! Like, what a lame message board did ya learn THAT on?! Also, it's one thing to type L8R, but who the hell actually says it out loud?!"

Folding his arms Asmodeus groaned "Whaaat, you're still alive? Well, that's boring..."

"Of course. Unless he went crazy again like last night, Lucifer wouldn't harm Yuki. And do you know why that is, Yuki?" Satan smugly pointed out.

Sighing Yuki responded "Because I'm an exchange student"

"Exactly. I see you have a good grasp of what's going on here. If anything were to happen to one of our exchange students, it would make lord Diavolo look bad. Lucifer would never do anything to harm Lord Diavolo's reputation"

"ooh...speak of the devil! Lord Diavolo and Lucifer just showed up" Asmodeus smirked as he waited for the juicy conclusion of what happened between Yuki and Lucifer.

"Well, it seems that everyone's here" turning to Lucifer Diavolo continued "Shall we get started, Lucifer?"

Nodding he responded "All right, I'm going to go ahead and call this officers' meeting to order." clearing his throat, he continued "To start things off, Lord Diavolo has an announcement for us."

Taking over Diavolo then spoke "Yes, well then, I assume that some of you have already heard the rumours about the group retreat. And they're true. I'm planning an exchange party between demons, angels and humans to be held at my castle. I have a feeling this will turn out to be quite the interesting experience for all of us."

After the meeting was concluded, Yuki returned to the house of Lamentation to get ready for the retreat.
