😈 Tales of a Cambion (Book 2) 😈

IX (XXXII). Studying in the Netherworld 📕

In Iruma's Room

Iruma, in the greeting dawn and calm of piano keys, was reminiscing of all the past events that occurred him and Ryūko.

'My sister and I were sold off by our stupid parents and then became our grandpa's grandchildren.' Recalled Iruma, 'So much has happened since then. Life-or-death situations... Though they're our grandpa's powers, we've been able to use magic more, and somehow we've managed to make it this far. But now... the time has come for me to face my greatest enemy yet! And that's... studying.'

Oh dear, it appears the scattering of books and notes on his floor tell us something. That was exactly what he said. Will he be able to pass the upcoming End-Of-Terminus Examination?

A Few Mornings Before

At Babyls Demon School, School Gates

As for why Iruma was working hard on his studies, let's rewind a bit to a few mornings before today.

"Iruma-kins, look!" Beckoned Clara, "There's a kitty! A kitty-cat!"

No, don't be silly. Lavande was definitely not the cat Clara was talking about. She was referring to the kitten with black-fur and a single horn on its forehead resting on the fence. It yawned upon its morning nap.

"Stop pulling on him, Valac! He's not a toy!" Said Asmodeus, "What's more important, Master Iruma, I heard a rumor that the cafeteria is getting new items! Isn't that great?"

"Uh-huh.. So, hey... What exactly is going on with you two?" Asked Iruma, who was having Clara clinging onto him and Asmodeus cautiously escorting him, "I mean, Lavande, Acheron, and Isa are not being any means, um, clingy..."

"Seriously, Asmodeus. I thought you were much better at basic etiquette than this." Sighed Ryūko with disappointment.

"It's nothing. Pay no mind." Reassured Asmodeus.

"It's something. Pay every mind." Said Clara.

"I know you guys want them to be safe but this is way too close for comfort." Said Acheron.

"Now, let us proceed to the Misfit Class's new room of education." Said Lavande.

"Which Miss Ryūko and Master Iruma bravely acquired and secured for us! The Royal One!" Added the noble in white and gold.

In the Royal One

In the presence of their fellow classmates, Asmodeus and Clara were still hanging close of Iruma. As for Isabelle, Ryūko and, Lavande, nothing much between the three noblewomen.

"Do you guys maybe get a room?" Asked Lied.

"My, my, how passionate." Smiled Elizabetta.

"They're like a can of sardines, right?" Commented Goemon

"Well, they surely are like sticky notes, but inseparable." Said Kaminari.

"Um... who's looking after who again?" Asked Yanna.

"Clara's anxious that I might go through my evil cycle again so she's feeling a little protective of me." Said Iruma.

"Yeah, anxious." Said Lied. "She looks like she just woke up from a nightmare." Said Jazz.
