84 | Goodbyes

*I can't stop imagining two female Barbatos (one is at the top of the other) wearing RAD uniform and Diasomnia school uniform

Scarabia arc: starting...

"-the dorm where lies the majority of the smartest students as it was based  on the Sorcerer of Sands."

Obtained: UR Barbatos "Bride?"

"When is the wedding?"

Yuu was in another dream once more, but now he's in the middle of a desert. His soul floating above two men in front of a humongous head of a tiger...

     "At last, all of my years of searching... The Cave of Wonders!" A man exclaimed, proud that he finally found the legendary relic. "Ah! Cave of Wonders!" His parrot yelled.

     "By Allah..." His little servant whispered, amazed by the tiger's head. The man with the staff took his little servant's collar, pulling him, "Now, remember... Bring me the lamp and the rest of the treasure is yours, but the lamp is mine!" He yelled.

Once the little servant went near the tiger's mouth, the parrot asked the man with the staff where he got him. It seems like this little servant turns out to be a thief, which made the tiger angry somehow as they introduced himself...

     "Know this. Only one may enter here, one whose lies worth lies within. The diamond in the ruff!" The tiger yelled. The thief shrugged and it made the man with a staff annoyed, "What are you waiting for? Go on!" He said. After that, the thief entered the tiger's mouth and followed with a rumble—the tiger is now disappearing, with the thief inside.

     "The Malleus Draconia invited you to his castle?" Vil asked the demoness, who nodded and gave the letter to him. He looked at it and read the contents, "Wow, so you're not joking. I still can't believe it tho..." He added.

Vil was worried that Malleus have set his eyes on (Name), who he also adores. Almost every third-year wanted Barbatos, but she sadly declined them all—that includes Cater. Rook is still watching Vil and (Name) converse, jealous of the fact he adores her more than him...

     "So you're planning to stay in his castle for the whole holidays?" Vil asked. The woman nodded, "Yes, I've decided to stay there with Luke. Do you know what the inside looks like?" She asked the beautiful man.

     "I haven't seen the castle myself honestly, but I'm planning not to visit in any case," he replied, huffing since he doesn't like the idea of the demoness going to Malleus's kingdom. She just chuckled, "Alright, Vil-san. I'll text you, so I can send updates in the holidays—" she said.

Vil was quick and took her phone from her hand, putting in his number, and immediately placed it back in her palm. He avoided her gaze because of how quick he was to put his number on her phone, covering his face with his hand...

     "Okay, everyone! Listen carefully!" Trein yelled, shutting everyone. "Holidays shall start tomorrow, which means you'll go have fun and rest after months of staying here. I hope you do your homework even though you're lazy to do so," he continued.

     "I'm sure it's a lot," Vil whispered. Trein cleared his throat to silence everyone, "Someone will be waiting for you if you didn't do your assigned homework! I'm giving you permission to collect your belongings and go to Mirror Chamber exactly at 1 PM. You may now be excused," he finished and left the room with papers placing itself on students' desks.

It's certainly a mountain of homework, worrying Vil since it might ruin his routine. (Name) hummed and took her homework to place it inside her bag, planning to do it inside the castle of Malleus once they arrived...

     "Ah, (Name)-san!" Yuu called, with his friends following him. "Are you staying here as well?" He asked.

     "I'm not staying here, sadly. A dorm mate of mine invited me to stay in their home for the holidays," she replied. "Are you gonna spend holidays in Ramshackle?" She asked the dorm leader of the said dorm.

     "Yep~! We promised a feast with the ghosts!" Grim exclaimed, jumping on her shoulder. Ace placed a hand under his chin, analyzing something, "Well you're technically not alone since a lot of ghosts are staying in this school," he stated.

     "Wait, if it's school break then that means the cafeteria and the school store are closed, right?" Deuce stated. Grim and Yuu gasped in fear, "Man?! What about our feast?!" They asked.

     "I don't wanna starve in the holidays..." Yuu whimpered, imagining himself in a situation like that. "It's best to consult this to the Headmaster, juniors. Now, I'll be leaving so I can pack my things—Goodbye," she advised and left them.

The juniors immediately ran to the Mirror Chamber's hallway to find the Headmaster. She, on the other hand, went to pick up her and Luke's baggage before they go to the Kingdom of Thorns. She was gonna enter the dorm when someone grabbed her arm...

     "(Name), I've heard that Malleus invited you to his Kingdom," it was Leona, he seems worried. He sighed, "I can sense something bad will happen. If I were you, I'll be careful—"

     "Are you worried about me?"

     "NO! That's hilarious, why would I be worried about you?!" Leona denied, glaring at the demoness. She smiled and nodded, "Sure, Leona-san. I'll take care don't worry, I've known Malleus-san for a few months after all and he's surely not the type to hurt anyone easily," she said and rubbed Leona's ears.

     "Stop that..." The lion tried to remove her hold from his ears, which failed. "Good kitty," she praised and left him.

     "God damnit..."
