[ HellTaker ] Life With a Demon Harem

Powered Down

         The demons were face to face with a clean tiled room. Malina, out of breath, almost collapsed after taking over a few hundred steps up. She looked around and found a water cooler which she then proceeded to chug an entire gallon. Thankfully it was normal water and not holy water.

          They appeared to be in some sort of kitchen. There was a fully packed fridge and some cooking appliances, a few other treats in the cupboards— and most importantly, a coffee maker.

         Pandemonica's eyes went from tired to wide when she locked her sights on it. Quickly using it to her advantage and brewed herself a nice cup of joe.
The demon did not even wait a few moments to cool down the hot drink and gulped the entire mug full in a second.

         A mist from the warmth came from her mouth as she smiled in pleasure. "That... Hit the spot." The now Sadistic demon smirked.

       "Woah look at all this grub!" Zdrada raided the fridge, taking numerous Tupperwares and packages of food and munching them down. All while flicking off the sticky notes of the names of the angels who left it there.

        "This place is suspiciously convenient for us to take a break." Modeus glared around the room. "But why is nothing happening?"

        "Nah." Malina sighed. "I mean, usually in video games, dungeons usually have break spots where a character can heal up and rest, especially for an upcoming boss fights."

          "...Right." Modeus looked at the Sour Demon though not really fully grasping it. "So if I go through this door, something big will be waiting?"

         Malina looked over to the next door that they'd eventually go through and shrugged. "Probably."

       The demons opened it and peaked in. It was a large open room, though rather dark and empty. Until a ceiling full of lights casted down the entire room to reveal a platoon of angels and Gabriella in the middle waiting for them in ambush.

        "Hello, Demons."

         *****

        Sarahphim had just left with the two demons. You stare at the broken roof where the angel had flew in and out of. The faces of joy those demons had when they saw you couldn't leave your mind.

         Jessienne huffed a sigh from behind you before you felt her hand take yours. She gently moves your head to face her as she gives you a smile.

        "I'm... sorry about that. Now, what was your answer?" She asked.

        "W-wait wait." You pushed her and stepped back. "Those demons were Beelzebub and Judgement."

        "I...see?" Jessienne looked at you quizzically. "I honestly am indifferent of demon matters that I don't bother to learn most of their names."

       "No. That's not what I mean." You shook your head. "How come I know their names?"

      Jessienne kept her smiling face, but her eyes alone felt like her entire expression had changed.  "Oh. Perhaps you have read about them in Gabriella's archives? Or maybe you had—"

      "Jessie please!" You had ended up raising your voice. "I know you're not as omniscient as God or whatever, but I know you can answer at least this. What was I before I woke up in heaven?"

       Jessienne's eyes trailed away and avoided yours. It was obvious that she was hiding something. She furrowed her eyebrows and groaned. "This is some sort of influence by the demons. Don't stray into the dark forces."
