I wonder what this is about?
Asmodeus has called us for a meeting. Both him and Clara are at the front. I finish putting my hair into a ponytail as he clears his throat.
"Everyone's present, right? Then… we will now begin the explanatory meeting to teach you all the meaning of 'friends' and 'soulmates'!"
Hmm!?
Both of those are terms that don’t exist in the Netherworld. How do these two know about them???
He explains something completely different from the actual meaning of these words, something about blood pacts with friends and soul contracts with soulmates.
Do they maybe exist here in that way and THAT'S why Henri didn't want me saying them!? He didn't have to lie if that's the case…
"That title is reserved for only me and Stupid Clara, but rejoice! Master Iruma has stated… that he thinks of everyone in this class as his friends!"
Iruma??? I swear, everything odd happens around him.
"I'm back~"
Speak of the devil.
"Iruma! Is it true we're friends? We heard from Azz-Azz!"
"O-oh, so you heard? It's kinda embarrassing… but I think that you've all been my friends for a while now."
He sounds like he's talking about the normal meaning… you wouldn't be able to say you've made a blood contract with 13 people for this long without them knowing?
"Hold on." Kerori says. "Am I also… among those you call 'friends'?"
"Kerori…?"
"If so, then rephrase it! Rather than me being yours, you are my friend! If anybody's going to give up their life, you're doing it for me!"
"If you're going to step on someone, step on me!" I hear Kamui say, earning a dark glare from me.
"L-life!?"
"Indeed! We are rivals first and foremost, Iruma!" Sabro chimes in.
"Master Iruma-! What are you waiting for, fellow friends!? Protect him!"

"Um… anyway…the surprise Iruma tossing session lasted 10 whole minutes, but I'm glad you calmed down before someone got hurt. I'll use this chance to properly explain what friends are!"
.
.
.
So… he is talking about the normal definition of friends.
That seals it.
I need to ask him.
It's been just a theory, but now there's more than enough evidence to prove this.
"Iruma?"
"Yeah?"
"I know this is an odd request, but… could I come over to your house after school? There's something I need to talk to you about."
"Oh… sure!"
After school, I go to his mansion. I don't know why I'm so surprised at the size. His grandpa is one of the 3 Greats, after all.
"Okami? Come in." I'm greeted by Opera.
"Thank you for having me."
They lead me to Iruma's room, where he's sitting waiting.
