A Sheep Among Demons

Lesson Seven Chapter Sixty-One - Not Every Old Friend Is Actually A Friend (1)

"D'AAAAAH!" Levi was screaming loudly as he avoided getting eaten by that enormous snake. I noticed he was wheezing, and that he was extremely sweaty already. I wonder if he gets a lot of exercise to make up for how much time he is in his room...

"OH MAN OH MAN OH MAN IT'S GONNA EAT US! LIKE, FOR REAL!" Mammon was pulling along Beel as he focused on running. It was impressive that he could run that fast when he is dragging along a hungry Beel.

"... Wait. What's that thing chasing them?" Asmodeus' attention was no longer on me as he looked shocked at the fact his brothers were getting chased by such an enormous snake.

"It's a snake, and a enormous one at that." Solomon seemed casual as he stated this, like he wasn't worried that the snake was getting closer to us. I really wanted to run away, but my legs were frozen in place...

"Gah... it's giant. And disgusting! Ugh, I hate having to look at unattractive things." Asmodeus shudder as he looked away from the giant snake with a frown on his stupid attractive face.

"Hey, how 'bout you stop talkin' and HEEEEEEELP!" Mammon was annoyed at the fact Solomon and Asmodeus were just standing there as a giant snake tried to eat them.

"I am a fan of eating, but I'm not interested in being eaten." Beel's voice was weak as he tried his best to keep up with the pace Mammon was running at. He really looked like he was going to fall to the ground any second.

"As if we didn't already have enough problems as it is, they had to bring us another one. Well, we'd better get out of here." Solomon's calm attitude was really throwing me off. How come he isn't freaking out?!

"Get out of here and go where, exactly?!" Levi didn't know how Solomon seemed so calm when a giant snake was trying to eat them.

"Just shut up and follow me." Solomon ran in a direction, and everyone quickly followed after him. I didn't look back to see if the snake was close or not. I only stopped running when he stopped moving.

"... Looks like we lost it somehow." Asmodeus was fanning his face as he said this. I tried not to acknowledge that he still looks so attractive when he was out of breath...

"Yeah, but what're we s'posed to do now, huh? You expect us to hide here forever?" Mammon dropped to the ground as he caught his breath and wiped away the sweat from his face.

"You're the one who woke that snake up, Mammon. You don't get to complain." Beel was frowning at Mammon and I felt the urge to hit him on the head, hard. This is his fault!

"Hey, I didn't wake it up! I just saw a snakeskin lyin' on the ground and figured I'd sell it for a pretty nice sum! But when I tried to grab it to take with me, it turned out there was still a snake inside! That's when that monster suddenly came after us, all mad 'n stuff...!" Mammon tried to defend himself but he was doing an awful job at it.

"Anyone would be angry if someone woke them up! Especially a huge snake monster, dummy!" I pulled at Mammon's cheeks, not stopping even when tears appeared in his eyes.

"He's NOT a monster. He's Henry 1.0." Levi speaking up caused me to stop pulling at Mammon's face and look at him with a raised eyebrow. Asmodeus also seems confused about what he was talking about.

"Henry...? Wait, you mean THAT Henry?!" Mammon seemed to know what Levi was talking about and also seemed shocked at that information.

"Are you sure?" Beel seems kind of doubtful about what Levi just told us. I was still confused about what they were talking about. Wasn't Henry a goldfish?

"I know Henry when I see him. And that is Henry, no doubt about it. I can't believe I'd find him down here of all places..." Levi's eyes seemed to sparkle as he spoke.
