The Cosmos' Journey (Obey Me! x OC)

Chapter 28: A Multi-Day Tour of the Demon Lord's Castle

Mammon was shouting. "All right! It's finally time for our retreat! Three days and two nights! So, Ivy! Are you pumped for this or what?!"

Zach was nearby his child. Ivy chuckled at his enthusiasm. "You bet I am!"

"ALL RIIIGHT! Now that's what I wanna hear!"

Zach rubbed his temples with a sigh. Levi also sighed. "Mammon, you're being really loud."

Mammon turned to him. "Aw, what's wrong with you, Levi? Get that grumpy look off your face, killjoy! Ah, I know what's goin' on here. You stayed up real late last night playin' games and readin' manga and stuff, didn't ya? Yup, I knew it! One point for Mammon!"

"You're like... too excited right now, Mammon, and it's really annoying."

Zach watched as Mammon hugged Ivy tightly from behind, surprising her and causing her to giggle. He smiled while Satan gave his older brother an exasperated look. "Mammon being annoying is nothing new, but yeah... this morning he's ESPECIALLY annoying."

Levi shook his head. "At first, you were complaining about how this retreat was going to be a drag."

Ivy saw Mammon's cheeks turn red. "Ah, shut up, both of you. Sure, I thought it was gonna be a drag, but now that it's actually time to go, I'm excited! Anythin' wrong with that, huh?!"

Satan sighed. "What are you, an elementary school kid about to head off on a field trip?"

"Whoa, Beel, that bag of yours is waaay too big! Pff, I bet it's stuffed with food, ain't it?"

Beel crossed his arms. "Well, what about Asmodeus? I'd say he's the one you should be criticizing when it comes to luggage."

Speaking of, Asmo came downstairs. "Gooood morning, everyone! My, you're all early! Ugh, I just couldn't decide how I wanted to do my hair this morning, you know? It took so much time..."

Ivy and Zach took in the amount of luggage and both shouted, "¡Dios mío!"

Satan blinked at Asmo. "... Asmodeus. WHY do you have so much luggage?"

Mammon also looked at the pile of luggage. "Yeah. It's only for two nights, ya know? You think you're headin' off on a tour of the three worlds or somethin'?"

Asmo shook his head. "This is actually quite a bit less than what I wanted to bring. But then it occurred to me that I only have two hands, so I could only bring two suitcases with me."

Levi gave him a look. "Actually, larger doujinshi artists generally ship their stuff when they go to conventions."

"Sorry Levi, but I'm not sure what you're even talking about right now."

Ivy blinked. "Neither do I."

Beel eyed his luggage. "So what do you have in there? Food?"

Asmo shook his head. "Ugh, no, of course not. I'm not you, Beel! I guess most of it is just clothes, makeup, and random beauty products? I mean, everyone expects me to look my best at all times, now don't they?"

Ivy cast her eyes to the floor and murmured. "Even then it's all fake."

"You say something Ivy?"

"I didn't."

Mammon only rolled his eyes. "Man, even LEVI makes more sense than you, Asmo!"

Lucifer then appeared. "It looks like everyone's here. It won't do to keep Diavolo waiting. We should head over to the Demon Lord's Castle right now. I want to get there before the angels and Solomon do."
