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.

 

 “Yep, I never thought I’d see the day that a human won over Levi, but here we are.” At hearing Satan's words Levi quickly looked over at him with a glare, his face growing red. Satan gave him an innocent smile at the glare that was being sent his way.

 

 “Excuse me?! Don’t go getting the wrong idea. Nobody won me over! Our interests just happened to align, that’s all! The relationship was purely business! I mean, why would I want anything to do with some normie of a human? I wouldn’t! I mean, I’m spoken for! I’m no cheater! M-M-My one true love is-” “Cheeseburgers” Levi was cut off from his fast ramblings from Beelzebub who stomach let out a loud growl at the thought of a cheeseburger. Levi went from being embarrassed to glaring at the drooling Beelzebub.

 

 “No! That’s YOUR one true love, Beel!” Levi had an annoyed expression on his face as he looked at the uninterested Beelzebub who was still eating at the moment. I noticed the french toast I was going to eat for last was taken and eaten by him so fast I doubt it was even there in the first place.

 

 “Mm. . .I get hungry just thinking about them.” I could only let out a sigh, realizing I was probably only able to eat the scrambled eggs for breakfast. Seeing as there was barely any left on my plate I just decide to drink my Caffè mocha, that I struggle to make in the morning and had to ask Satan for help since I didn’t know where most of the things I needed for my coffee was located in the kitchen, and tried not to make a face once I realize it got lukewarm.

 

 “You know, the way things are going, the rest of us might just find ourselves in a pact with Yuki as well if we’re not careful. If you had your choice, which one of us would you forge a pact with next, Yuki?” I almost choked on my coffee at Asmodeus' question, looking at him shocked. It suddenly grew quiet at the table as the brothers waited for my reply.

 

 ‘This is happening right now. Um, to be honest, all of them could probably harm me in some way. I mean Satan is the Avatar of Wrath and he could probably get angry at any moment so I don’t want to deal with that. Asmodeus is the Avatar of Lust and while that may not seem so bad for me I can see myself losing something else that is very important to me and rather not give up easily. And finally, Beelzebub is the Avatar of Gluttony which could end so badly for me in the end if he gets so hungry one day and just eats me.’ I could feel my thoughts racing as I looked at the different brothers, feeling my anxiety rising so fast at how the brothers were waiting for my answer. The otome games I played weren’t this stressful! Well, it's because I had a savepoint but regardless!

 

 “I-I think Beel would be nice to make a pact with. . .” I drank more of my coffee, trying to calm myself down. I felt like that was a safe answer and it wasn’t like I would make a pact with him in the future.

 

 “Uh-uh. No. Although, if you’d make sure I always had tons and tons of food--as much as I could eat--then I’d consider it.” As Beelzebub was saying this I slowly reached over and grabbed a plate of toast and bacon, I just realized I still had and just ate it without a care in the world.

 

 “. . .Beel. Have you been reaching over and swiping food off of Yuki’s plate this whole time?” Satan shook his head at Beelzebub who just continued to eat, not looking like he was going to stop anything soon.

 

 “You won’t be able to tame us as easily as you did Mammon, Yuki. In fact, it’s quite offensive of you to think that we’re as stupid as that poor excuse of a demon.” I felt my jaw drop as I saw a fist quickly come down onto Asmodeus' head. I look over to see a pissed off Mammon glaring at the whining Asmodeus who was holding his head.

 

 “OW! Why’d you hit me?! I can’t believe you actually STRUCK my beautiful, beautiful head! Not even Lucifer has ever done something like that! Why are you always getting so VIOLENT with me, Mammon?!” Asmodeus was looking at Mammon with tears in his eyes and I didn’t know if he was doing this on purpose or it was just how he acted but he gave off a cute feeling with the tears in his eyes. ‘I hope it's just him acting that way. . .Can’t be awakening anything weird during my time here.’

 

 “That was for callin’ me a poor excuse for a demon, you peabrain! Actually, I oughta hit all of ya, the way you talk about me. Y’all think you’re so great.” Mammon was glaring at all of his brothers who either let out an annoyed sigh or just ignored him, Beelzebub, and didn’t bother to give him a reply.

 

 “It’s not that we think we’re so great.” Satan was rubbing at his forehead, looking annoyed with Mammon who was currently glaring at him so hard I was surprised heat wasn’t coming out of his eyes. 

 

 “No, not at all. We just think you’re a complete and utter fool.” Asmodeus recovered from getting his head hit and just told Mammon that with a smile on his face, causing Mammon to slouch his shoulders at how blunt he was.

 

 “HEY, that’s even worse! Don’t treat me like I’m stupid!” Mammon slammed his fist onto the table causing the plates and cups to shake and go up slightly from the table, but his brother just ignored it like it wasn’t a big deal to them.

 

 “Oh, I’m afraid that’s one thing that’s not going to change.” Satan gave a smile to Mammon and Asmodeus voiced his agreement with him causing Mammon to deflate again at his brother's blunt and harsh words. Well, Beelzebub was just eating so he wasn’t adding to the blunt words towards Mammon.

 

 “Serves you right, Mammon! Lololol!” Levi was laughing at the deflated Mammon and I couldn’t help but feel kind of bad for Mammon, even if he did ditch me and left me to fend for myself in a place that is filled with demons who want to eat me.

 

 “I hate every last one of you. None of this would've happened to begin with if it weren’t for that bastard Lucifer! It’s all because he took my credit card from me! Just snatched Goldie away--kidnapped her against her will!” Mammon took out his credit card and was holding it close to his face, rubbing it gently like he was soothing it and all the sympathy I felt for him reach back to zero quickly.

 

 “Ugh, don’t talk about your credit card like it’s a person. It’s gross.” Levi gave Mammon a disgusted look and Asmodeus voiced his agreement, frowning at Mammon's actions toward his credit card.

 

 “SHUT UP, both of ya! Also, I can’t believe that when he said he froze it, he meant that LITERALLY! Who sticks a credit card in the freezer!? What’s up with that?! Was it supposed to be some sorta dad joke?! ‘Cause if so, it was awfully lame!” Mammon was laughing at what he said and I just looked at him with an indifferent expression that quickly turned to panic when I saw that Lucifer was behind him.

 

 “Eh, guess maybe I shoulda expected somethin’ like that from him. I mean, he may not be a dad, but he’s pretty old, isn’t he? Guess I shouldn’t be surprised he’s a fan of dad jokes.” Mammon continued, laughing at what he said and I could only awkwardly look away from him, not wanting to tell him the bad news. I just drank my coffee, waiting for Lucifer to do what he was going to do to him.

 

 “Ahahaha.” Lucifer laughed along with Mammon and I never thought I would see someone so stupid that they didn’t notice someone else was laughing along with them. I could only sigh to myself and continue to drink my coffee, realizing that it was truly the survival of the fittest in the world.

I am tired is all I have to say but I do hope this chapter was enjoyed! I would say more but my head is dead right now. Bye-bye for now (*●⁰ꈊ⁰●)ノ~☆
