Subaru: "My name is Natsuki Subaru, sin archbishop of the witch-cult representing pride."

True to his fabricated title, Subaru held his head high, staring down at the green-haired bishop the same way one would look at a bug. Sloth threw his hand up as he leaned back, a smile splitting his grotesque face.

Petelguese: "Ah amazing wonderful exquisite! Of course, someone with so much love hanging so thickly upon him must be an archbishop. But, confirmation is in order, present your gospel!"

Subaru: "Hmm, what makes you think you can command me to show my gospel? Do you not value her book so much that you would bring it out into the open where it could be damaged? Huh, guess I have no choice. Here."

Subaru who was playing the role of pride played into the archbishops' rotten personalities as he berated Petelguese. From his left pocket, he produced a compact book with thick black bindings. This book that once belonged to a ginger girl was now used by Subaru to trick Petelguese.

Subaru: "Is your suspicion satisfied sloth? If so then follow me. We must discuss the ordeal."

Petelguese's skeletal visage contorted many times as he listened, finally, it settled into a mixture of confusion and excitement as he heard the word ordeal. He stood straight as a board black eyes wide as saucers as he hunched over and started pacing a tight circle. His ghoulish hands ruffled his hair all the while.

Petelguese: "Yes yes yes yes yes the ordeal the ordeal is of such importance that the witch would send another archbishop to facilitate it happening! Such love, such devotion, my brain trembles!"

Subaru: "Yeah no, I don't care about your brain trembling or whatever. Hurry up, you're wasting my precious time."

Sloth stopped his raving as he dug into his oversized apparel. He produced a dark book identical to the one Subaru held. Bouncing from side to side, the walking corpse's eyes scanned each page of his gospel with inhuman speed. He eventually closed the book with a thunk, his eyes narrowed in suspicion. 

Petelguese: "My gospel contains no mention of you. Explain yourself Pride!"

At sloth's outburst, the raven-haired boy prepared to evade the unseen hand. He relaxed when he saw none pop out of the cult leaders' back. Quickly regaining his composure, Subaru brushed his hair back as he sneered.

Subaru: "Use your brain idiot, or did all that trembling make you retarded. Why would the witch waste her precious energy informing your insignificant self when she can have me inform you as I am now. Now if you truly love the witch, follow me."

The mean-eyed boys' commanding tone left no room for objection as he shoved the gospel back into his pocket. He turned and walked away from the cave, a sigh of relief escaped his lips when he heard footsteps behind him.

Dried leaves crunched as the raven-haired boy walked. He was constantly glancing back at the skeletal figure following him, ready to move at a moment's notice. Thankfully, the walk to the cliffside went on with no disturbance. 

Once at his destination, Subaru stopped and turned to the green-haired cultist who had also stopped and began to look around. Petelguese's beady black eyes settled back on Subaru as he titled his head ninety degrees.

Petelguese: "And? For what reason did you bring me all the way here?"

Subaru: "Oh nothing, just needed you out of there."

A smug grin etched itself on Subaru's lips as he pointed behind him, his thumb was directed to the cave they met at. As if on Cue, a massive explosion erupted casting a touring mushroom cloud. Petelguese jumped away from the raven-haired boy, gnawing at his nails he glared daggers at the one who tricked him.
