The Devil's way of business

Chapter 9 : Magic Community

Karma looks a paper describing the creation of a portal to the magic communities dimension ' Unlike heaven and hell one can enter a magic community quite easily some people may get lost into these worlds '

" Karma , don't you think you should have some food ? " " I thought you would wake up late Lilith " " How rude do you think because I am demon , doesn't mean that I am not punctual or responsible " " You are the mother of demons , not the caretaker "

"To get to our world you can pour this vial of liquid in a nearby spot where nature gathers" ' Considering reading it before I had planned to go to the mountain but with that residence , this place might be better , but I'm cut off from contacting any angels '

He looks at Lilith and thinks of Cain " Maybe it's better not to get close to anyone like that for now the schedule is a magic community visit in the morning and afternoon I go meet with the managers of Akasha , then in the evening I will be summoning Lebo to deliver the weapons to them I wonder if demons have different work hours do they need sleep man being a demon becomes more and more tempting "

" You want to become a demon " " Ah no , I just hate having to sleep but now I'm curious whether you know a way " Lilith smiles showing her teeth " I know I was the first human to become a demon "

" Oh is that so " " Using your sins is enough just like how a human becomes closer to being an angel by using their halo they can get closer to being a demon by using their sins " " What if your sins far outweigh your merits ? "

" You become a demon but this is only the case if your will to be an angel is weak if you somehow manage to be an angel despite having lesser merit you get black wings as a sign that you still have some work to do if it is the opposite you can just have your merits turned into cash "

" What if you keep it ? " " You become a rare figure that can commute between heaven and hell there are still some restrictions but it's for the best to have broader travelling options " Lilith looks at the empty fridge .

" I really should've gone to buy food " " Then go buy I planned to order a boxed lunch because I'll be out soon so have Cain watch over the house " Lilith smiles " You know it feels like we are a family "

" Weird family a 20-year-old human is the breadwinner while a thousand of years old human and demon are freeloaders " " Hey It's not my fault Adam wasn't my ideal man " ' Considering that I left Cain to investigate the lost pieces he might have to travel but to where exactly ? '

Cain was in his room thinking ' If the guardian lost their parts then isn't it much more believable for the parts to go somewhere far away , nobody in heaven and hell knows about this guy or the special realm they live in , they are also gone from this world or at least from mortal dreams and nobody has spotted them or at least heaven or hell didn't cause enough of a ruckus to prove they were found '

" So many dead ends " " Cain I want you to watch over this house " Karma said beside his bedroom door " What about investigating ? " " I'll figure a way for now I will be heading to the magic community I might find clues meanwhile as for you I am trying to figure out a way to send you to hell legally without killing you "

" So you are telling me to go to hell to investigate for the pieces ? " " Yep Hell seems pretty close to the special realm the Founder's friend went to although it isn't perfectly the same " Cain was confused as to why Karma seemed to know more .

' Maybe there are some parts he tore out then ? ' " Did you rip out some parts on your own to hide some secrets ? " " If there are other hidden abilities a Count can inherit by blood , But I wouldn't risk showing them to you , but trust me I'd rather play as a normal human than a special human "
