Mammon and Ivy walked side by side with the former being on Ivy's right. "... Ugh, I don't believe this. Of all the rotten luck... Why should I have to look after some human? It's insulting, that's what it is! That rotten bastard... Does he really think he can scare me into doin' whatever he wants? Just so we're clear... it's not like I can't say no to Lucifer, okay?! I only agreed to babysit you because, um... Well you know, because... uh... Anyway, it doesn't matter! Just don't go thinking I'm scared of Lucifer or anything! Because I'm not!"

Ivy smiled at her old friend. He hadn't changed a bit. Still a tsundere. "I know that old friend."

"... Oh. Okay then, as long as we've got that straight... Ugh, whatever. Let's move on."

Both of them entered a quaint looking entry way. It was lovely in Ivy's opinion. She then perked up upon hearing Mammon start to speak. "This is the House of Lamentation. It's one of the dorms here at RAD. Well, it's not JUST one of the dorms. It's the dorm reserved for student council members. Lucifer, Asmo, and the others take every chance they can get to insult me. Callin' me scum, sayin' that I'm a money-grubber and stuff... but I'm an officer of the student council, same as them. The elite of the elite, the top of the RAD social pyramid. In other words, I'm a big shot. A REAL big shot. Like, even regular big shots are impressed by what a big shot I am. So don't you go thinking I'm just some ordinary demon. I'm nothing like those other peons walking the halls here. By the way, Diavolo is even MORE of a big shot. He's so important that he's got his own castle. That's why he doesn't live here with us... Anyway, the long and short of it is that us seven brothers live here together. Now, it's time I show you to your room..."

Ivy then took notice of a bulletin board. There was an advertisement for a part-time position. Mammon then chimed in. "Hey, don't just stand there with your jaw open. Hurry up, or I'm gonna leave ya behind. If there's something you wanna ask me, you'd best do it now."

Ivy turned to Mammon and hurried over. "Nope. Nothing in particular."

"Hmph... fine then. Now, I'm gonna give you a piece of advice, so listen up. If you wanna survive even a day here in the Devildom, you'd better listen REAL close to what I'm about to say. If it ever looks like a demon is about to attack you... run away. Either that, or die."

A new voice chimed in. "How about this? I vote for YOU to die, Mammon."

Mammon recognized him. "D'ah...! Levi..."
