(Y/n) POV

"Let me out!" the puppet said from inside the safe.

You kicked the box as you sat at the desk pouring over the papers. "Shut up, I'm trying to read."

"Tsu Tsu help!"

You set down the papers and leaned back in the chair, rubbing your eyes. It was 11:57 p.m. Kuro had gone to sleep about an hour ago but you had opted to stay up and look at the report. Koharu had claimed that you and Kuro had been drunk and attacked her, Hana, and Hina.

"Tsu Tsu!"

You let out a heavy sigh. "I'll let you out on one condition: you stay a puppet."

"Fiiiiiiiiiine." he groans.

You fiddle with the lock and open the door. You pull the puppet out and set him on the table, reaching inside a drawer and pulling out a pair of scissors without letting go of him.

"Try anything funny and I'll see if your insides are made of stuffing."

The puppet jerked back in fear as you traced the scissors over his face.

"What's your name?" You ask, staring straight into the dolls button eyes.

"B-Belkia," the puppet stammers, eyeing the scissors warily.

"Okay, Belkia, I have some questions and you're going to answer them."

"Oh alright!" the servant says in an annoyed tone.

"Question 1: Who is Tsubaki and what's his beef with the other SerVamps?"

For a minute, the puppet stays still, as if contemplating whether or not to answer your question. You get impatient and snip off the tip of his bright pink hair. He yelps in surprise and tries to jerk back but you hold him firmly in place. "Answer me."

"Tsubaki is the eighth SerVamp alright?!" he shouts and you slap your hand over his mouth, not wanting to wake Kuro up.

"I thought there were only seven SerVamps,"

Belkia cackled. "Oh, you would think that, wouldn't you? No one knows Tsubaki, he's been forgotten it seems. He's the eighth SerVamp, the SerVamp of Melancholy."

You stare at him, confused. "The SerVamps represent the Seven Deadly Sins, which means that Tsubaki can't be a SerVamp because Melancholy is an emotion, not a sin."

"That's where your wrong!" the servant says. "Tsubaki is the best of all his siblings!"

You hear something creak and immediately cover the magician's mouth. Footsteps echo in the silence of your apartment. You hurriedly shove Belkia back into the safe and shut the door.

Knock knock.

"(Y/n), you up?" Kuro says from outside.

"Uh, yeah," you say, getting up from the desk and unlocking your door.

You open it and find Kuro standing outside looking half asleep.

"You okay? I heard a lot of shouting and wanted to make sure nothing happened."

"Nothings wrong," you say. "I was just talking to Belkia."

"Whose Belkia?" he asked.

"Me!" came a muffled response from inside the safe.

"You mean the puppet?"

You nod.

"You should be careful, servants like him are unpredictable."
