The Cosmos' Journey (Obey Me! x OC)

Chapter 26: Who's the Liar Here?

Beel, Lucifer, and Mammon were all quiet at breakfast the next morning. Ivy had continued to eat, green eye scanning all three. Asmo didn't seem happy about the change. "... Aw, normally everyone's so happy and full of energy at breakfast. But things are sooo tense today."

Satan only sighed. "After hearing about what happened last night, I'm not surprised."

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

Levi shook his head. "I haven't left my room in 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..."

Ivy snorted at Satan's words. He continued speaking. "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."

Asmo turned his eyes on Beel. "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."

"I see that Mammon has the same stupid look on his face that he always does."

Ivy choked on her food as Mammon whirled towards him. "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!"

Asmo looked at Mammon. "I don't know what you're talking about. We weren't whispering. Don't have a hissy fit, Mammon."

Satan then furrowed his brows. "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."

Beel and Lucifer both stayed quiet. Ivy felt the uncomfortable atmosphere of the room. She decided it would be best to head off to class early. At least she had her outing with her father after school to look forward to.

She hadn't made it out of the dining room before she heard Lucifer. "... Ivy."

Ivy paused in her tracks as he continued to speak. "Would you come see me in the music room before heading to class?"

Ivy swallowed, feeling nervous. "Okay."

"I'll be there waiting for you."

Asmo then just had to comment. "Ooh, Lucifer wants to see Ivy? Yikes! Super scary!"

Satan found amusement in this. "Pff... Careful Asmodeus. He might hear you."

Levi, Mammon, and Beel only gave her worried looks. Maybe she should have one of them accompany her. Her contacted eye scanned them before she only pressed a finger to her lips and then she felt Libra's winds wrapping around her. The three looked at the zodiac with shock, but nodded to the star sign. They trusted him with her safety. The other three didn't notice.

Ivy then watched as Lucifer walked off. She took a deep breath and waited a bit before she and Libra exited the kitchen and made their way to the music room.

-At the Music Room-

Ivy swallowed upon reaching the door. Libra decided to guide her hand to open the door and get her in. Lucifer turned to Ivy upon hearing the door open. "Ah, you're here. I assume you know what it is I want to talk to you about. It's regarding last night."

Ivy found a sudden interest in the floor. Lucifer pinned his eyes onto her. He sighed. "What I did to you was inexcusable. I apologize. However, there's one thing I want to make absolutely clear."
