Another day had passed, in RAD, and at Devildom.

You noticed many students were taking quick glances at you and whispering about how you made yet another pact with one of the student council officers.

So many of them were talking about you, but none directly to you.

Not that you minded too much because all the while you had been mentally preparing yourself since the night before.

You knew you said that you needed to talk to Satan but...

You were nervous, of course you were! To speak to THE Avatar of wrath, one on one-
So much for that confidence you had that day when you told them,

"I'll just have a talk with Satan myself."

Just what were you thinking?

Okay, okay. Deep breaths Y/n.
You told yourself.

If you can talk back to a raging demon, surely this was nothing...-

Was what you thought when you came back to the House of Lamentations, but you held your breath when knocking on Satan's door.

A faint 'come in' was heard.

With one last deep inhale, you opened the door and stepped into the room, greeting Satan.

"...Ah, Y/n. It's you."

He said, quickly glancing from his book to you and back one last time before putting in a bookmark between the pages.

Satan had been on his bed packing what seemed like a carry on bag while reading,
and around him, were books scattered and piled.
Actually, it was not just his bed that had stacks of books, the whole room was packed with mountains and mountains of books, like an ancient library.

You took a moment to take in the sight, with unusual awe.
It seemed that he was packing to leave the house today.
But, to where?

"Did someone tell you to come here to stop me? Because if so, you're wasting your time."
He told you before a scoff left his lips,
"Although, none of those guys would send you here to stop me. They all think it's funny."

Maybe not all, but Mammon seemed a bit concerned that night...

Satan took another quick glance at you who was still standing awkwardly near the entrance.

"Anyway, i'm trying to decide which of my books to take with me, since i couldn't possibly take them all. So, you interested in books?"
He held two books up in his hands, one of which had been what he was reading until a moment ago.

You hadn't really thought about it before. You were not necessarily an avid reader but some books did intrigue you enough to get you hooked onto them for a long long time.
"Well, kind of? But i'm picky with them."

Satan paused to look at you, before the corner of his lips curled up a little and he muttered something that you didn't quite make clear.

You decided to move to another corner of the room since the position you were at, wasn't exactly the most comfortable.

"Hey, watch your step. A lot of my most precious books and documents are over there. Every one of the books in this room belongs to me. They're all part of my collection."
He said it as if he was a proud store owner.
"That shelf there is full of books having to do with magic."
He pointed.
"And these, are all ancient manuscripts."
Gesturing to a stack of books and papers in the far left of his room.
"Here, we have astronomy and physics"

You nodded as he intoduced his books like tour guide at different tourist attractions.
Although you had known he was a fan of reading, you hadn't realised this was the extent of his love for books.
