The Next Morning...

Asumi rolled over in her bed as her eyes slowly fluttered open. Belphegor was still asleep, but Asmodeus was nowhere to be seen. That's when that bathroom door opened up to reveal the Avatar of Lust in his usual daily clothes.

"Hmmhmm... Hmmm...! Oh, good morning, Asumi~! Did you sleep well?" Asmodeus sang. "I did. I see you're up and early as ever," Asumi nodded. "It makes sense since early birds get the worm. I feel so refreshed!" Asmodeus chirped happily as he stuffed his skincare creams into his luggage.

"In that case, I should get ready too. I can't be looking baggy," Asumi smiled and made her way to the bathroom. The bathroom smelled like roses and the scent was somewhat strong, making Asumi sneeze a lot.

After her shower, she changed into her usual daily clothes and walked back out and saw that the Avatar of Sloth had finally awoken.

"Come on, Belphie. It's your turn to change," Asumi cocked her head towards the bathroom door.

"I'm too tired... Can you carry me there?" Belphegor groaned. "I will drag you on the floor if you don't get up," Asumi sighed. "He's the Avatar of Sloth. Of course, he's still tired," Asmodeus shook his head.

"Hmm... It's only six in the morning, huh? We have at least thirty minutes before breakfast," Asumi glanced at the clock.

"That means more sleep for me-" Belphegor got cut off by Asumi who jumped on his back. "Oh, no you don't! You're going to stay up until breakfast," she smiled. "Awww... Why?" Belphegor whined. "Learn to enjoy life," Asumi whispered.

"I am... I'm enjoying it in bed," Belphegor sighed. "Belphie!" Asumi huffed. "Okay, okay! Fine, I'll get up..." Belphegor mumbled, sitting up.

As the sleepy demon went towards the bathroom, a certain black-haired demon with ruby eyes opened the door. The Avatar of Pride wore his signature facial expression and per usual, his giant coat sat on his shoulders.

"Good morning, Lucifer. Is there something you need?" Asmodeus spoke. "I'm wondering where Beel is. I'm trying to find him before he chows down in the kitchen and disturbs Barbatos's culinary duty," Lucifer explained.

"Well, we haven't seen him," Asumi shook her head. "He's very hungry, Lucifer! I think he's almost by the kitchen!" Belphegor echoed from the bathroom. He seemed to be in the middle of showering from the extra sounds that were ringing along with his voice.

"Thank you, Belphie," Lucifer called back. "As for the rest of you, breakfast should be finished soon. I suggest you head down to the dining room."

Lucifer left the room in a rush as he continued to search for his always-famished brother. Asmodeus stretched his arms before he took his black scarf and whipped it around his shoulders. The two friends gathered everything together before tucking them neatly into their suitcases. They had to make sure the place was clean before they left, however, Belphegor was still in the bathroom. For a moment, Asmodeus sensed it in his bones that his younger brother probably fell asleep in the shower due to how long Belphegor was taking in there.

After a few more minutes of cleaning and waiting for Belphegor, the four of them silently trotted down the castle hallways to meet up with the others. Lord Diavolo, Lucifer, Solomon, and Beelzebub were the only demons at the table to be seen, whereas probably the others were still getting ready. Asumi, Asmodeus, and Belphegor took their spots, all of them slowly picking up the scent of food from the Kitchen.
