*I can sense the tension y'all giving
Bonus:
"Professor Crewel, what are you doing with (Name)-san?!" Yuu asked, bewildered since the demoness has a collar on her neck. The very same collar the Professor had on his whip, "She's misbehaving these days. I need to restrain her from doing unnecessary things," the Professor replied.
(Name) chuckled, "More like, to restrain me from kissing your cheeks every time you ask for my help," she jested, earning a glare from the Professor. "I do have a point, don't I?"
- Main Street -
It was already 6:30 PM, almost time for the demoness to leave the school for her to find Luke. Too busy to know what she's gonna do later, she didn't hear the arguing happening behind her. Her ability to see the past and future got tampered with by someone, leaving her at a disadvantage. She bets that the unknown sender must've something to do with it because the one behind it may be at the same level as her...
"(Name)-senpai, the bag full of cocktails must be heavy," Deuce told her, interrupting her trance. "Let me take it. I have a trick on how to carry heavy bags," he said, taking the bag from her.
"You must be used to carrying groceries, Deuce-san," she commented. Deuce nodded, "Yes! My mom always brings me to carry her shopping bags since she always buys a lot of groceries, and it always ends up heavy. I'm the only guy in our family, so I always get the heavy chores around the house—Oh! I got carried away. Sorry, you got to hear that."
"No, it's fine. I can see that you care for your mother," (Name) assured. "That's not true, (Name)-senpai. I always made my mom—OW!" Deuce bumped a guy, causing him to drop the eggs.
"Ah! The eggs," Grim gasped, looking at the cracked eggs inside the bag. "Shit, the whole carton of eggs cracked inside the bag!" Deuce knelt, checking the eggs that didn't crack.
Turns out the culprit behind it are the ones (Name) knocked out inside the cafeteria, one of has a neck gauge, "You! You broke my neck! Tch, can't I just stay out of trouble!" He yelled at the demoness, who chuckled at their misery. "That's what you get for picking a fight with your juniors," she stated.
"Don't blame her. Blame yourself for popping out all of the sudden," Deuce said, blocking (Name) from them. "We may have destroyed your egg earlier, but you broke a dozen of eggs. You still have the guts to pick a fight with us, despite you guys being in the wrong for this situation," he firmly remarked.
Grim cheered behind, while the students are gritting their teeth in anger, "You? Are you saying it's our fault?" They asked. Deuce nodded, "Yes. I kindly ask you to pay for the damage you've caused."
They mocked Deuce continuously, not bothering to pay for the eggs nor say sorry. (Name) was gonna give them a lesson until a message popped up from her phone: "Leave him be. He's bottling his anger right now. Let him handle the situation," the unknown sender told her. (Name) decided to not bother listening to the unknown sender, until she saw Deuce raising his sleeves...
"I said this isn't funny, assholes!" He yelled at the punks. "You hear me, dipshits?! What right do you have to tell us what's best for us, huh?! You see those eggs you destroyed? They were meant to be an ingredient for a delicious tart and that doesn't make any sense to you?!"
"What's up with this guy?!" One of the punks panicked. Deuce cracked his knuckles, "If you won't pay for the eggs, then I'll just have to punch the both of you to teach you a lesson. Fight me, you shits!" He challenged.
(Name) and Grim watched from the sidelines, while Deuce punch the hell out of them. She covered her mouth from surprise at how brutal this sweet child is and went to buy another carton of eggs from the store. A beep was heard from the phone again, "I'm glad you didn't interfere with it. Remember, the Apple Cider in town, (Name)." The unknown sender said again...
Once she got out of the shop, the punks who pick a fight with Deuce already ran away and apologized to the eggs, "Deuce-san, are you alright?" She asked, kneeling if the poor blue-haired has injuries. She wiped off some blood on his face, "I'm sorry, (Name)-senpai! I didn't mean to pick a fight with them! I promised Mom I'll be one of the honor students this school year!" He was on the brink of sobbing.
"Shh, it's fine. You did great," she assured. Deuce stuffed his face on her chest, hiding his face, "All I ever did in middle school is laze around. I always skip school and waste my time fighting other students. I disrespected all my teachers, hangs out with gangsters, and bleached my hair. I even use my Magical Wheel around the school, showing off. I also pick fights with people who can't use magic..." He sobbed on her chest.
"That's a real delinquent! We don't see those types nowadays, yanno," Grim whispered to the demoness. Deuce sniffed, "Then, one night, I heard my mom crying while talking to Grandma. Did I raise him wrong? Would it do any better if he has both parents to grow up with? She said. She blames herself for the fault I did! Ever since the ebony carriage came into our home to pick me up, I've never seen my mom so proud of me! I swore on that day, I'll never make her cry again and be someone she'll be proud of! Then here I am, going back to my old self—Bullshit!"
"Yanno, you don't get the idea of being a model student, do you?" Grim asked the sobbing Deuce. "You did the right thing by punching them as a lesson! That wasn't enough if you ask me!" He consoled him.
"Yes, but don't go too far. Even though I'm someone who always keeps my calm self, I get mad too," she reminded, brushing Deuce's hair to calm him down. Deuce looked at his senior's face, delighted he was not alone who has anger issues, "Really? May the baby chicks rest in peace then..."
"Also Deuce-san, I'm afraid the eggs wouldn't turn into chicks since it's unfertilized..." The demoness told him. "WHAT?! YOU GOTTA BE KIDDING ME!"
