Not Even MC Would Save You

“What do you mean I just missed them!?”

Leviathan had just finished making the pact with the human and asked them if they knew where that mysterious demon- who was named Y/N apparently- was and if they knew more about them. The human then admitted that they brought the demon to their house to tend to their wounds and they had just left before they came to meet him. Great, he totally missed the chance to see them.

“Though I heard from Mammon they apparently live in.. Mystery Mansion or something?”

Leviathan perked up at the name.

“You mean Misery Manor?”

“Yeah that!”

“How did that scumbag even know about that?”

Emecy shrugged.

“I dunno. Somehow Mammon guessed it right from their reaction to being late for curfew”

Ah. Leviathan knew about the rumors too despite not being one to gossip himself. He had overheard it when some of his classmates were talking and didn't know he was playing on his phone just a few seats behind them. Misery Mansion was just like its name, apparently having students who were almost always miserable (or so he's heard) live together under one roof. The residents of said manor often disappear because of one thing or another making the dorm constantly having at least one vacancy available for anyone desperate enough to want a place to stay that was closer to the school. Rumors said it was because the supervisor was so strict that if you even break one dorm rule then you'll face heavy consequences or if it was bad enough then you'll disappear.

Searching for someone who lives in the Misery Manor is also basically impossible because to get to said dorm you have to be its resident first or be physically invited in (physically touching the resident as they guide you in) or else you'll never find a way to the front door. This means he'll have to go out and search for them while they're at school instead of waiting and ambushing them near their dorm.

“Ah it's you. The one who spoke to me in those dreams. You're finally here right?

Wait.. where are you going? You just got here!

Don't leave me here alone!

I could finally see you but why are you already leaving!?

Come back here please… Don't leave me here…

I don't care if you take the form of a human, demon, angel, whatever just please stay with me.

Come back! You're mine!

You're mine and only mine!

If you don't become mine then you're worthless.

You can only belong to me.

Wait for me.

I'll be free soon.

Once I'm out of here I will finally be able to embrace you.

Wait for me…”

You finally got back to your dorm at the early hours of five thirty in the morning and saw no one else awake. Well maybe except for the short periwinkle haired boy who was having his breakfast in the dining room. He looked up from his plate when he heard you step on a particularly creaky floor.

“Ah you're back. Where did you go last night?”

This boy who was also a resident of your dorm was named Aise Angfler. He was apparently your senior by one year despite his youthful appearance. It's because he skipped a few grades or so you heard. He's a bit of a stickler for rules though he's not as strict as most people think he is. After all, you often see him sneaking dessert late at night a few hours after dinner is already done. You'd stare at each other before he pushed a cup of ice cream towards you and put a finger to his lips basically bribing you to stay silent. He tries so hard to seem like some noble raised child but really he's not that different inside.

“Oh I just.. got caught up with a friend and forgot the time. Had to stay in a hotel since I missed curfew”

“Oh… Please remember it next time. It was slightly more quiet without you to share desserts with”

Aise turned his head back to his place but you already saw the slightly pink tint on his ears. You can't help but feel your lips quirk into a smile at his reaction.

‘Awww he misses me. How could a child be this cute?’

You went over to him and patted his head which earned you a splutter coming from him before you went to your room to shower and change clothes. You passed by some other of your fellow dorm residents who were going to the dining room to eat their breakfast too and greeted them. Some greeted you back and some looked like they didn't even see you. You didn't care though.

Once you reached your door you suddenly noticed that the one right across from you was slightly open. From what you can see through the gap it seems that the room was empty. You frowned knowing that someone used to live there but seems to have “disappeared” just last night. You didn't know them very well but you did greet them once when you went back after your work and they were also going back to their room. You didn't even know their name and you feel sad knowing that you lost them before you even got the chance to get to know them better. You shook your head before turning back to your door and entering your room. You unlocked your phone and opened the usual chatroom with MC.

You:
Hey little Lamb.

You:
Did you get that pact yet?

MC:
Yes just like you told me to.

You:
Good.

You:
We can go to the next phase then.

(Note: sort of more of a filler chapter honestly. Btw if it's not clear enough the one who's speaking about a dream and also wanting the reader to be his is Belphie. He's sick of being up there man. I mean- it must be lonely and boring. Luci didn't even give him a TV to entertain himself it's no wonder he immediately killed someone once he got out- 😭)
