The Cosmos' Journey (Obey Me! x OC)

Chapter 13: The Movie Marathon

Ivy paid no mind to what Mammon was saying at the moment. "D'AAH! Quit pullin' on me! Gr... dammit, lemme go! Let... me... go... this... instaAAAH...!"

Ivy let him go and he hit his head. "D'ah...! ... Ow...! Hey, what the hell?! Ya coulda at least given me a little warning before lettin' go! I hit my head just now, ya know?! I can't believe you decided to go straight to Levi and ask him for the soundtrack... You really don't have any patience, do ya?! First of all, there's no way Levi's just gonna agree to lend you his Tale of whatever-it-was vinyl soundtrack. Actually, he ain't even gonna let you inside his room. I'm sure of it! Don't go thinkin' that everything's gonna go your way 'cause ya want it to! You know what your problem is? I'll tell you--"

Before Mammon pissed off the Cosmos further with his front, a voice reached their ears. "Mammon, you jackass..."

Ivy sighed. "Language."

Mammon looked outraged. "What...?! Who said that?! I'm not a jackass, or an idiot or a scumbag or a money-obsessed moron! ... Which you didn't actually call me, but still! ... Hold on, I recognize that voice. So, where ARE you, anyway?"

"Idiot. Absolute idiot. Also, language!"

Ivy could sense the person rolling their eyes. "You're making way too much noise, Mammon. Would you do me a favor, and NOT stand outside my door being loud? I'm in the middle of watching the best scene of The Magical Ruri Hana: Demon Girl."

Mammon looked at the door. "Levi, we need to talk to you. Get off your ass and come to the door!"

"Language!" Ivy said. Mammon glared at her. Ivy glared back.
"No." Was the answer given. Ivy just stared skyward.

Mammon turned back to the Cosmos. "See? See? What'd I tell ya? He won't even open the damn door for us. Don't just stand there, Ivy. Try sayin' somethin' to him."

Ivy stared at the door. "Levi, I need to borrow your TSL soundtrack."

Levi shuddered upon hearing the familiar voice. He held strong nonetheless. "No."

Mammon rolled his eyes. "Ugh, come on... That was awful. You're not supposed to tell him why we're here. He's not the kind of guy who does favors if you ask him."

Ivy turned to glare at him. "Is that so, mi amigo (my friend)?"

Before he could retort, a voice startled Ivy as her left side was facing the speaker. "Hey, I was wondering who that was out here in the hall. So, it's the pair everyone is talking about..."

Ivy sighed out of relief upon turning to face the sorcerer. Mammon noticed him too. "... Wha? Oh, Solomon, it's you. What do ya mean by that?"

"I'm referring to the rumor regarding a certain human (Ivy bristled) by the name of Ivy. A human who looks ordinary at first glance, but has already managed to make a pact with a demon, despite having only just gotten here. Apparently this demon must be a real idiot, because he let a human discover and exploit his greatest weakness, and was then tricked into forging a pact."

"AHAHA! What demon is that? He must be a total numbskull! Ha, what an idiot! ... Wait, you're talkin' about ME! Anyway, what're you even doin' here, Solomon?"

"I'm here because Levi invited me."

"Wha? Levi invited YOU? To his room? No way, I don't buy it."

"I'm afraid it's the truth. (Solomon knocks) Levi? It's me."

"What's the secret phrase?" Levi asked.

"'The second lord...'"

"'... attempted to steal the Lord of Corruption's platypus, which could lay golden eggs...'"
