A Sheep Among Demons

Lesson Two Chapter Thirteen - The Pact Goes Swimmingly (1)

I was awkwardly moving my scramble eggs around on my plate, listening to the laughter of Asmodeus who had tears appearing in his eyes. He could help but slap the table with his hand, still trying to get past the information he learned about Mammon.

"Asmodeus, keep your voice down. If Mammon hears you, he'll get upset again, and we won't hear the end of it." Satan calmly scolded Asmodeus as he took a sip from his coffee. Asmodeus slowly stops laughing, breathing heavily for a second before he fully calms down.

"Eh, he won't be awake for a while. He's really not a morning demon, you know? And anyway, how can you NOT laugh after what's happened? I mean, this is Mammon, and yet a human was able to play him like a fiddle and force him into a pact." Asmodeus' shoulders start to shake again once he remembers what he was laughing at and I could see Satan lip twitch a bit a what he said. I could see that his shoulders were slightly shaking and his hand was covering his mouth, as laughter escaped him as well.

"Hey, I hear you laughing, Satan! I know you think it's funny, too!" Asmodeus was smiling at the laughing Satan who, unlike Asmodeus, laughter were more tame and quiet. I just look at them and look over toward Beelzebub who had so much pile-up plates next to him as he happily ate.

"Mm, this is delicious. The meat is so tender. . ." I felt my eyes widen as Beelzebub took a bite out of the meat and the plate. Continuing to eat like nothing was wrong with what he was eating. 'That's so scary. . . He doesn't even flinch! He has to notice something is off with his food, right?'

"Beel, calm down. You're biting off chunks of your plate along with your food." Levi notices this as well and tries to make sure Beelzebub was paying attention to what he was eating but just let out a sigh when he realized that he was too distracted with eating at the moment.

"Anyway, I have to say I'm surprised. I never thought an average human like you would be able to make a pact with Mammon--certainly not THIS fast. I guess they really did know what they were doing when they picked you for the exchange program, huh?" I could feel my cheeks growing warm at the wink Asmodeus sent my way, since not used to how attractive and flirty he was. He is a demon but he is attractive. It is confusing to pick between being nervous or being attracted.

"I still can't believe I managed it. . ." I push around my scrambled eggs again, still feeling a bit surprised I still manage to convince Mammon to make a pact with me. I was worried he was going to just say no and attack me for just asking that.

"Well, I guess it could simply be beginner's luck, yes. . ." I tried to ignore Satan's stare, forcing myself to eat the scrambled eggs which did taste good but I wasn't really in the mood to be eating at the moment. Still feeling nervous eating around a bunch of demons, who could attack me whenever they want.

"All I know is that I finally got Mammon to give me back my money. So, I couldn't ask for a better outcome! Epic win for Leviathan! I should've rounded up a random human and done this sooner! Now I'll be able to buy the Blu-ray box set of Journey to the Devildom: The Tale of a Little She-Devil and her Reluctant Companion! The initial round of copies includes promotional tickets to a live event as a special bonus! That live event is going to be soooo epic!" Levi was practically vibrating with excitement as he thought about the event he was going to in the future and I couldn't help but feel envious. 'If I was home I could have bought the Blu-ray box set of Oh My God! I Am The Magical Girl Destined To Save The World But I Am A Guy And The Main Bad Guy Is My Secret Crush! and got the special behind the scene moments in all the episodes with a poster signed by both of the main characters voice actors. . . '

"You know, I find it surprising enough that Yuki managed to make a pact with Mammon. . .but what's even more shocking is the team-up with Levi that helped make it happen. Don't you think?" I was brought out of my depressing thoughts with Asmodeus' words. I felt that I should feel insulted but to be honest I would probably doubt it as well if I was him. I am just a normal human after all.
