"A surprise inspection? What do you mean?" Luke still looked a bit confused about what Beel said but I was panicking pretty badly on the inside. Lucifer will kill me if he finds out that I let Luke stay here!
"I mean exactly what I said. Lucifer shows up unannounced, and goes around checking each room to see if anyone is out past curfew." What Beel was describing just now was a parent checking to see if their children were being responsible or not...
"In that case, all I have to do is hide, right? Maybe under the bed, or behind the curtains𑁋" Luke was cut off from speaking by Beel shaking his head with a serious expression.
"Oh no. You'll have to do WAY better than that. Lucifer does more than check to see if everyone's in their rooms. He also searches the inside of the room itself. Asmodeus had a witch that he'd brought back home one night in his room. She transformed into a spider and hid, but Lucifer still found her." Why does Lucifer have to be so serious in what he does?! This just keeps getting worse and worse! What is he going to do to me when he finds Luke?! It's scary just thinking about all the ways he could hurt me!... And a tiny bit hot, only a tiny bit!
"Wha...?! Why does he have to go to such lengths? We didn't have anything like that at the Purgatory Hall!" Luke started to look worried once he realized how serious Lucifer was about checking the rooms out.
"That's because you don't have Lucifer living with you at Purgatory Hall. He originally started doing it because Mammon kept sneaking out after curfew and coming home late. And he'd hide stacks of unpaid bills in his room so no one could find them." I tried not to let out a heavy sigh at what Beel just said. Why am I not surprised this all happened because of Mammon being a dumbass...
"Ugh... Mammon, that IDIOT!" Luke voiced my thoughts out loud and I nodded my head in agreement with his statement. This is all Mammon's fault and I will use the pact between us to mess with him later. I will force him to bark like a dog for an hour!
"There will be time to blame Mammon later. Right now you need to hide. Get inside the closet." Beel opens the closet in the room and motion for Luke to go into it. That literally seems like the first place Lucifer would check out! Is he TRYING to kill us?!
"What's the point of me hiding in the closet?! I mean, you said he even found a witch that had transformed herself into a spider, right?!" Luke didn't look keen on hiding in the closet either. There was a limited place where we could hide Luke and we couldn't just sneak him out of this room, what if Lucifer saw us doing that?!
"Well, if you keep standing there doing nothing, he'll find you for sure. I'll think up some excuse to keep him from looking in there. Now hurry!" Beel didn't allow Luke to argue anymore and push him into the closet then close the door on him. After the closet was closed Lucifer came into the room and I tried not to let out a scream at the sight of him. He is like a serial killer in a horror movie who appears when the main characters' guard is down!
"...All right... inspection time. Beel, Yuki. I see you're both here. I'm going to have a look through your room to be certain everything's in order here. But before I do, is there anything you'd like to tell me?" Lucifer's eyes were so cold and scary that my brain was turning to mush. I knew looking away would admit that I was hiding something. What should I do?!
"...Woof..." Why the hell did I bark like a dog?! I am not Mammon! I could feel my face heating up and I looked at the ground hoping it would swallow me up. I am so embarrassed by my actions...
"...I see. I heard a rumor that Beel has been keeping some sort of dog or a cat in here. But from that little "woof" you made just now, Yuki, I take it you're trying to say that there's no pet at all... it was you all along." I wanted to deny what Lucifer said but then he would think something was hiding in the room. So I nodded my head and cursed at him with all the words I know in my heart.
"Beel, open up the closet." I looked up at Lucifer but made a casual expression when I made eye contact with him. I could feel sweat appearing on my back as I grew stiff. Why the hell is he checking there first?! Did he hear us earlier?!
"There's nothing in there but Belphie's clothes𑁋" Beel tried to come up with an excuse but stopped when Lucifer gave him a really cold look that could kill someone if he wanted to. "Didn't you hear me? Open it."
I could hear my heartbeat in my ears as Beel opened the door, revealing the inside of the closet... where Luke is nowhere to be seen! I tried not to let out a gasp at this but I could feel that my eyes widened in shock at this discovery. Beel looked surprised about this as well.
"Well, it seems you really aren't hiding a puppy in here. I guess it was only a rumor then. All right, that wraps up my inspection. Both of you make sure to go to bed early." Lucifer smiled at us before leaving us in the room alone again.
"Luke disappeared. Weird... I know I pushed him into the closet a minute ago. What's going on?" Beel was looking at the empty closet with a confused expression on his face. I felt concerned to see that Luke wasn't in the closet anymore. Where did he go and is he okay?
