103 | Replacement

*Criminal records, yes that's what the MC has here

*Demons aren't supposed to die to some spell that removes their body parts, they can regenerate it

Bonus:

Diavolo and Kalim are having a party inside Scarabia whilst (Name) and Jamil is watching because they're tired of pulling them out of unnecessary parties, but then again they're rich, so money isn't their problem...

     "When will this end?" (Name) asked her fellow servant, who was on the brink of sleeping already. "Jamil-san, are you alright?"

     "I'm so tired..."

- Scarabia Dorm, Kalim's room -

They were awoken by Jade since they need to avoid marching to the east Oasis for today. They're currently inside Kalim's room—thankfully his servant, Jamil, isn't awake for now at least...

     "Good morning, Kalim-san," Jade greeted. Kalim yawned, removing the blanket from his head, "Hm? Jamil... Good morning," the dorm leader of Scarabia greeted.

     "No, Kalim-san, it's me, Jade. I see that Jamil and Jade do sound similar after all. Now, please wake up or else the tea will gonna cold and I have brought you new clothes for today," the obedient twin chuckled. The dorm leader of Scarabia jolted awake and sat on his bed, staring at Jade, "What are you doing here? Where's Jamil?" Kalim asked them.

     "Don't fret, Kalim-san. We're here to do simple duties," Azul assured and started fixing his bed. *Knock* *knock* Someone knocked on the door and opened the room, "Kalim, it's time to—What?!" It was Jamil and he was speechless when he saw Azul and Jade with the Ramshackle duo. "Azul? Jade? What are you doing in Kalim's room?!" He demanded.

     "Good morning, Jamil," Yuu greeted. "Yuu and Grim as well..."

Azul also greeted his classmate, patting his shoulder, and told him they've decided something last night since Scarabia has been kind towards both dorms the higher-ups had invited. And since Jamil's the one who's been doing everything in this dorm, they've decided to be his replacement for today until the end of the holidays...

     "We call this preventing Jamil from stressing out at work, yanno!" Grim exclaimed, huffing in process. Jamil gritted his teeth from the surprise they made, "No... No, no... I can't let you do that," he rejected their offer, waving his hands in the air.

     Kalim awed and intertwined his hands together, "That's a great idea!" He exclaimed, agreeing to their proposal. Jamil looked at Kalim, flabbergasted, "I'm always thinking about how to lighten your tasks for years, Jamil! I'm so happy you're gonna rest now!" He said, hugging Jade because of how grateful he is.

     Jade patted the dorm leader's head, "That's very kind of you, Kalim-san. How adorable to see someone caring for their servant's situation, so touching..." He remarked and gave Azul a look. "Azul would gladly take a note or two from you, Kalim-san."

     Azul glared at Jade, "Shut up, Jade and do your job, that way I'll give you enough salary next month," he told his assistant, earning a scoff from him. Yuu grumbled and took Jamil, "Now, that said, we must have you rest now. It's best to take a long rest today, Jamil," he chortled and pushed him outside the room.

The Octavinelle dorm leader and his assistant waved goodbye to Jamil, whilst Kalim is getting dressed—Yuu waved goodbye to the vice dorm leader of Scarabia before closing his door. Jamil grumbled, not knowing what they were planning, and just decided to go to the kitchen to do breakfast...

- Palace of Afterglow Savanna, Outside -

The demoness had a long conversation with Diavolo last night, concerning his wife mostly and the culprit responsible for her disappearance. Now she's supposed to go back to the campus to get Yuu and Grim from Scarabia while Leona will watch over Luke, so he won't get hurt if someone is gonna do something bad again back on the campus...

     "Ms. (Name), we're taking off after five minutes," the pilot told her and went to the helicopter's pilot seat. She nodded and waved her hand, "I understand. Okay, Leona-san, don't forget to give Luke the antihistamine since there are foods he's allergic to. And he likes cake the most, but don't make him eat too much—"

     "Yeah, yeah. How many times have you been repeating that?" Leona grumbled as the engines of the helicopter started. She sighed, "Until you get it since Luke's a fragile angel and I can't afford Simeon-san getting mad at me since I left him with you."

     Leona rolled his eyes, "Yeah, sure. I'll take care of the kid while you save your other kids, go!" He told her and guided her to the seat beside the pilot. "You better come back in one piece! I'm digging to hell just to get you back!" He told her.

     She chuckled, "I'll come back don't worry..." She assured, placing a kiss on his cheek before jumping to the seat beside the pilot. "See you later, Leona-san!" She waved goodbye before the helicopter took off.

     "Enemies to lovers! Yey!"

     "Shut up, Cheka..."

- Scarabia Dorm, Lounge -

Breakfast was already ready, surprising Jamil because of the meals presented on the table. Some of the dishes are still ongoing because they needed some spices. Jamil told him Kalim can't eat the food—fearing it might be poisoned, offending the silly twin since why would he prepare good food with poison in it...

     "If you want to check for poisons, why not be the taste tester, Sea Snake~?" Floyd chuckled, whispering it while he placed a spoon on Jamil's hand. The vice dorm leader gulped in fear while the students started to surround him, "Vice Dorm Leader, please take a bit of these roasted vegetables!" A student said, shoving a spoonful of the dish on Jamil's plate.

     "I can guarantee this soup is delicious, but I want to hear your thoughts about it, Jamil-senpai!" Another student said, giving Jamil a bowl of soup they made. Jamil nodded and took a taste of it one by one, "So... Did all of you prepare for the march for later? We always eat after the march after all—"

     "Oh, no! As Octavinelle's dorm leader, I have a proposal to make!" Azul appeared behind, surprising Jamil. Jamil coughed, "The fuck?! Where did you come from?!" He yelled, touching his chest from the jump scare.

     "Instead of taking a long march to the oasis or what you call exercising to fix your stamina—I have proposed that training inside the dorm will improve your skills better since Scarabia's desert can cause a heat stroke from how hot it is," Azul explained to them.

     Floyd nodded, "Yep~! Also didn't ya guys have the big fountain that looks like a swimming pool outside the dorm? You can use it to fix your stamina instead~!" He added. Azul agreed, "That's a great idea, Floyd. From my experiences, swimming burns fat faster than walking," he commented, sharing his knowledge with the dorm.

The Scarabia students cheered because they don't need to march every day and a simpler, but still, effective training replaced it instead, preferable to say the least. After all, breakfast is the most important meal in the day—skipping it can cause serious consequences like fainting, stomachache, hallucinations, etc. (Based on my experiences that is) It can affect the person's daily routine, however, overeating isn't allowed...

     "Good morning!" Kalim greeted. He clapped his hands when he saw the table full of dishes, "Oh my god! Breakfast's ready? Yay!" He cheered and sat beside the bewildered Jamil.

     "Looks delicious!" Grim sighed at the sight of the meal. Yuu took his collar, "Calm down, will you? It's rude to eat first without the dorm leader taking his plate," he stated and it made the cat fume in anger.

     Jade chuckled, "Well, isn't this nice? Floyd's mood is great today, unlike his other mood that'll probably affect his cooking for today..." He smiled nervously, checking the dishes his brother made. Floyd looked offended, but brushed it off and placed a plate in front of Kalim, "Sea Otter~! Sea Snake already prepared some foods for ya and it's tested, so dig in~!" He chortled.

Jamil looked displeased from the lively commotion as he started to eat the vegetables, slowly and carefully. Azul has shared another fact that memorizing spells is the first step before casting them, while Jade told them it's best to memorize them by walking. Everyone cheered at it, wanting to try it...
