"Thank you, Barbatos."

The butler bowed down after he served the tea. It was still hot, just like the two gentlemen in front of him liked it. "You are welcome, Lord Diavolo. Is there anything else that I can do?"

"No, we are just going to enjoy this meeting. You are free to go. " The Prince of Hell flashed a charming smile from his place; he was sitting on a chair that was redder than his own hair. In front of him, a raven haired demon made his presence known by sighing. Barbatos left them alone in the office.

"Since when do you consider work enjoyable?" Lucifer sipped on his cup of black tea.

"It's always nice to have you here, you know that!" He took a big sip, almost drinking all of the liquid. "Also, looking through files of potential students is quite the pleasure to me. Entertaining as well!!"

"I will never understand what you find entertaining in pieces of paper." Lucifer just shook his head. A strand of black hair fell on his forehead, making him look more casual than usual. "You told me that you needed four humans for this exchange student program. Shall I just pick them at random?"

Diavolo gasped. "So bold, Lucifer! I wasn't expecting this. Though, I like this side of you." He finished his cup and took a biscuit from the plate that Barbados just brought in. "Of course you can! Not knowing them makes it even more exciting!!"

Lucifer didn't hesitate. He picked four humans. He didn't open the files. He didn't need to. He fulfilled Diavolo's wish just by trusting his gut.

"Them."

"Who the hell thought that it was a good idea to label a jar in this house?! Even if I were to put the name 'Diavolo' on it, Beel would still fucking eat it!" A redhead was holding a big jar of pickles that had the name 'Agatha' written on it. "Of course he wouldn't give a damn about it" She complained more to herself than to the girls in front of her.

"It was your idea, if I remember correctly." Georgeanne replied and crossed her arms over her chest. Next to her, a green haired girl was sitting on the kitchen island.

"I knoooow!" Agatha put the empty jar down and dramatically threw her hands in the air. "I just wanted to eat some."

"You can just go to the store and buy another one, Aggie." The girl with green hair said, though her eyes were glued to the phone in her hands. She was playing some kind of video game. Her body was covered by an oversized black hoodie and she was wearing a pair of purple leggings.

Georgeanne bit her lip as the image of Beelzebub slipped through her mind. "Or you could just forget about it. " She added.

"She's right!" Theo started to move her fingers aggressively on the screen. Her game started to get harder.

"Both of you have great points, but I would rather choose a third option: revenge."

"I'm too tired for that... Maybe in the morning. I think I will just head to-" Georgeanne walked towards the kitchen door yawning, but her head hit something hard. No, her whole body walked into a wall. To be more certain, a demonic, ginger wall that was much more taller than her.

"Oof, you are so small. I didn't see you." Beel gently touched the back of her head, his fingers stroking her brown locks. Her cheeks started to heat up. She should have expected him to be here. After all, he loves snacking at any hour of the day.

Theo raised her eyes from her phone. She started to feel the kitchen heating up just like an oven. But in this cause, the oven was Agatha's temper. Her eyebrows were furrowed, her gaze could cut somebody's throat.
