81 | Thank You

Bonus:

     "They asked for no pickles," the demoness told the shop owner, whilst she carried Prince Diavolo and Luke. "I demand you to remove it at once," she ordered.

     "Ma'am... I'm afraid we can't do that—"

     "Then we'll be refunding our order," she said. The counter lady immediately took the orders and told the kitchen staff to remove the pickles, making the demoness smile in satisfaction, "Good."

- Hallway -

The demoness was walking through the darkened hallways of the school, searching for the Headmaster that's not inside his office or the infirmary. She was gonna ask about his condition, but it seems he left the campus again or so she thinks he did...

     "Ah, (Name)..." The Headmaster appeared from a window, he must've used the wings of his coat to get there. "Headmaster, I was just gonna search for you. How are your injuries?" She asked.

     He landed in front of her, "I'm completely fine. Thanks to you," he said. For some reason, the golden eyes underneath his mask are quite attractive under the dark, "I'm here to personally deliver my thank you."

He removed his mask to reveal his face to her, which surprised the demoness because of his facial features—he was attractive. She didn't know what he was doing, but he placed his mask on her and the next she knew was his pair of lips near hers...

     He cleared his throat and retrieved his mask from her face, "That's all, and goodnight, (Name)!" He waved goodbye with a smile plastered on his face, his lips had a tint of purple lipstick. "Did he just kiss me?" She asked herself and tried to wipe his lipstick from her lips.

- Ramshackle Dorm -

Yuu cheered because he finally is going back to his dorm. The atmosphere of his dorm calms his nerves like a tea Barbatos makes for him every time he can't sleep...

     "I see that you're finally back," Tsunotaro stated, he was playing with a flower while sitting on a bench. "I couldn't imagine yourself winning against Ashengrotto. True, you look ignorant, but I didn't expect you're sly," he complimented.

     "I'll take that as a compliment. Thank you very much," Yuu stated. "In any case, thanks for giving the advice."

     "Me? I didn't give you such advice," he jested as he laughed. "In any case, I'm glad you got your dorm back from him. This garden is just my taste, it calms my raging nerves every day after class," he added.

     "I didn't ask, but okay..." Yuu whispered, averting his gaze. "It must be quite a show to see Ashengrotto's calm facade turn into an enraged and frustrated one. I wish I could see it too," Tsunotaro said and smiled at Yuu. Then his eyes glowed again and stood up from his seat, "I'm afraid this is the end of our conversation. Goodnight, Yuu."

Once he disappeared, Sebek and Silver came running from the distance, making Yuu hide behind a tree to observe them. They were searching for someone who they call Young Master, but Silver said that the Master is already an old man, meaning he doesn't need anyone to look after him...

     "Do you even know how essential our duty is?! The Young Master is very important and what if something happens to him?! It'll be our fault if he gets in danger!" Sebek yelled. "The Young Master and Lord Lilia have always been with us even though we're humans!"

     Silver sighed, "This and that are different, Sebek..."

     "Is Tsunotaro the one they're calling Young Master...?" Yuu asked himself, but he didn't mind asking them who they were searching for and decided to enter his dorm to take a good sleep on his bed.

Grim was talking in his sleep again, while Yuu is still awake because of what happened today. Thanks to (Name) or the Headmistress, the problem was solved and the Headmaster is now back. He felt refreshed after what he did...

But is this the last tragedy of Overblot that'll happen in this school? He hopes it is because he can't afford to see another student going berserk because of their traumatizing past and being taken down by their emotions. The time he passed out, he was going through their memories...

     "God, I want to go back to my world," he grumbled and combed his hair. Then the mirror glowed again, making him turn his attention to it, "What the fuck is it now? Is it another dream?" He asked himself and went near the mirror.

     "Hello? Are you there...? Hello—"

     Yuu shrieked in surprise, "The hell?! What the fuck is that?!" He exclaimed in fear.

- Main Street -

*Beep* "I'm waiting, (Name)," the unknown sender told her. The demoness sighed and opened the gates of the school to meet the unknown sender, wanting to ask a lot of questions to them. She already knew it from the very start because of how familiar the texts were and the way they talk...

     "You came. I was gonna worry you won't come," an unknown person stated. They were sitting on the bench as the unknown sender said and their body was covered in a large black cloak, "We finally meet in person, (Name)."

     "You must've underestimated me," the demoness stated and crossed her arms. The unknown sender chuckled, "Yes, I have. I never thought I'll be exposed that quickly—you're Barbatos after all," they said.

     "It would be nice to confirm my suspicions, right?"

     They smiled underneath their hood, "I understand..." They slowly removed their hood.
