Obey Me! one master to rule them all

the Mystery of Belphegor

"...And then what happened?" glaring at the Mammon, Lucifer crossed his arms in annoyance.

"COOOME OOON! How many times are ya gonna make me say it? I was hungry, so I went to the kitchen lookin' for something to eat...and while I was diggin' through the fridge, Beel suddenly came up and attacked me!"

"You at my custard"

"no, I DIDN'T eat your custard, Beel. I told ya. I was just holdin' it in my hand, that's all"

"Liar. You were eating it. I could tell. The lid was off."

"wha? Well don't look at me it was probably open to begin with."

"i made sure to write my name on it, and you still ate it."

"Eh? You wrote your name?"

"Oh yes. It said 'property of Beelzebub. You eat it, you die'"

"oh...really? Huh...i never noticed..."

"that was my custard"

"you never give up, do ya? But whatever, it doesn't have nothin' to do with me anyway. 'cause Yuki is the one who ate it."

Rubbing the back of her neck, she gave an awkward laugh "Exactly!"

giving Yuki a confused look Mammon spoke "uh...ya sound almost like you're proud. Are ya sure you be proud of that?"

Placing his hand on Yuki's shoulders Beel spoke "Yuki is honest and willing to ADMIT to the committed crime. Unlike you, Mammon"

Gulping Yuki then removed Beelzebub's hands, "I'm sorry I ate it, I promise to buy you more Beel, any flavour, any price, any amount."

Shrugging his shoulder Mammon complained "so Yuki ate your custard, yet I'm still the bad guy?!"

Summarizing the story Lucifer spoke "So, let me get this straight. Mammon was hungry, so he went rummaging for food in the kitchen late at night, and he dragged Yuki along with him. That's when he found Beel's custard. Then, he talked Yuki into eating the custard. And when Beel saw what had happened, he was so angry that he lost control of himself and went on a rampage. The kitchen ended up getting destroyed, along with Yuki's room, which was on the opposite side of the wall from it. All because of YOUR LITTLE PRANK."

Giving an awkward grin Mammon spoke "...well, I guess that pretty much sums it up, yeah?"

"My custard..."

"Now listen, and listen well. First of all, you three-" before he could continue his speech Mammon whined

"Ugh... I can tell this is gonna take forever."

"It's not fair. I'm the victim here."

glancing at his brothers Lucifer raised an eyebrow "Did you two just say something?"

Looking shocked Mammon responded "Wha? ...no. nuthin'"

Starting to ramble on Lucifer gave out his older brother lecture. "To begin with, your recklessness has impacted not just Diavolo, but also..." speaking non-stop for three hours Lucifer concluded his torture "...so, now that we've got that straight. I expect each of you to learn something from all of this."

Looking at his watch Mammon gasped "W... wow... that took forever..."

"I'm hungry..." trying to quiet his rumbling stomach Beel gave a sad expression.

"Yuki, it seems you won't be able to use your room for some time. You know, since it lacks a wall now. So, for the time being, I want you to stay in Beel's room."

"WHA?! Now just a second. Why're ya puttin' Yuki in his room? I mean, there's enough space in my room, isn't there?!"

"This is a trivial matter, Mammon. Don't get jealous over it. It shows immaturity."

"Wha... jealous?! Wh-wh-who're you callin' jealous?! As if I'd be jealous...pff! Anyway, Yuki has a pact with me!"

"your pact is irrelevant. Also, if I'm not mistaken, there's an extra bed in Beel's room."

"GR..."

"Do you understand, Beel? This isn't a request."

"...Yeah, I understand."

"...Ugh. this sucks..."

Following Beel to his room, Yuki kept her head down in shame, pausing in front of the bedroom door, Beel began to unlock it. "So, this is my room." looking around she saw that the room was split directly in the middle, the left half of the room was painted red with an image of a sun being hidden by a large bed. The other half was a gentle purple colour with an image of a moon being hidden by a large bed. Analysing the room, she noticed that the left half of the room was slightly messy, looking at the right side it was clear that it hadn't been used in some time. Walking over to the bed on the right Beel grabbed Yuki's arm "no. Use my bed. It's the one on the left. Don't use the bed on the right. I'll sleep on the couch"

"Why?"

Looking at the right side of the room, Beel gave a concerned look. "the bed on the right is my twin brother's. His name is Belphegor. He's in the human world right now as an exchange student."

"you've got a twin brother?"

"Yeah. We don't look alike though. Actually, we're total opposites... Belphie had a falling out with Lucifer, so he was chosen to be an exchange student. Belphie didn't want to go, but he was forced so don't mention his name in front of Lucifer"

"i want to know more about Belphie"

"even though we're twins, all that means is that our father made us at the same time. It's not like we're alike in any way. Still, Belphie and I always got along. We used to have a little sister. Lilith. So, the three of us were always together: me, Belphie and Lilith... but that was a long time ago now"

"I want to know more about Lilith"

Looking down at the floor Beel sighed "I don't feel like talking about her right now." before Yuki could say anything Beel quickly changed the subject "When Belphie returns to the devildom, you'll go back to the human world. Which means you two are never gonna meet each other."

Thinking back to her encounter with the person trapped in the attic his words echoed in her mind "You've got to start by gaining their trust and if you want to do that, you can't tell them you came here and spoke with me. Whatever you do, don't mention that. Let's see. You should probably start with... BEELZEBUB. Yes, he'd be the best choice. You need to get close to him."

"...what? why're you staring at me like that?"

"sorry... I'm just trying to picture what Belphie would look like"

"I told you, didn't I? Belphie and I are twins, but we don't look alike."

"then may I see a picture of Belphegor's face"

"you know the portrait hall, right? I'm pretty sure there's a picture of him there." leading the way to the portrait hall Beel stopped in front of a picture "see? Right there, that's Belphie."

Examining the picture Yuki knew that without a doubt it was the same person who was trapped in the attic.

"something wrong?"

Looking back at Beel, she gave him a smile, "You were right, you look nothing alike...anyway, I'm beginning to get a little sleepy. Can we go back to your room?"

"...sure"
