“Excellent. All right, try saying what Solomon did.” After looking satisfied with me repeating what Solomon said before, Mammon motioned for me to knock on Levi's door once again. I still wasn’t 100% with this plan but I had to try something so I went to knock on Levi door again.
“What’s the secret phrase?” Levi's voice came from beyond his door, I looked at Mammon once again who just gave me a thumbs up. I let out a small sigh and tried to copy what Solomon did before.
“The second lord....” It was quiet after a while I said that and I was wondering if Levi just left me at the door. I looked toward Mammon in confusion but he just shrugged his shoulders.
“*buzz*! Secret phrase authentication failure. Access denied.” Levi's voice came through his door again and I could only let out a deeper sigh once I realized I wasn’t being allowed to go into his room. I had a feeling this would happen to me.
“Wha? Wait, that was totally right! It’s exactly what Solomon said!” Mammon looked confused and annoyed at Levi denying us entrance to his room.
“The secret phrase is periodically reset,” Levi told us that simply and I couldn’t help but be impressed with his system. Always having different passwords ready to go.
“You’re saying it’s a one-time-password? Seriously?!” Mammon looked pissed at what Levi just said and I was worried he may try to break down the door.
“Maybe you should come back after you’ve at least watched TSL on DVD.” After he said that I could hear Levi moving further into his room again. I was thinking to myself deeply at what he just said. Watch the TSL and talk to him again….
“Ugh, come on! What the hell, Levi?!... I don’t understand exactly what’s goin’ on here, but from what I can gather… basically, Solomon just proved to Levi that he’s a total TSL nerd too, so now they’re buddies. Which means that if you wanna borrow that soundtrack from Levi… then you’re gonna have to do what Solomon did, and become a TSL nerd yourself. It’s that or nothing!” Mammon gave me a serious look as he told me that and I nodded my head seriously at that. I remember I have a TV in my room so all I needed was the DVD. I have to do what I did before at home.
I walked away from Levi's door and Mammon followed after me, calling out my name with a confused tone. I quickly took out my phone and went to the shopping app that I saw on my phone before. After typing in TSL I saw the full series DVD for TSL. By buying this I would become really poor for a while until I got money but it was a sacrifice I would make.
“Mammon, can you do me a favor and buy me snacks and energy drinks. I am going to need it for what I am about to do. Make sure you bring it straight to my room. Also, the thing I order will probably arrive by the time you are back.” After giving Mammon a serious look until he held up both of his hands and agreed with an annoyed look on his face.
After Mammon left my side to get me the supplies I needed I went to my room and started to get ready for the night of no sleep. I first moved the TV that was in my room directly in front of my bed. It took a while but I finally did it. After that, I moved a table that was in my room in front of my bed as well. I needed somewhere to put my snacks and energy drinks.
Looking pleased with what I did I decided to get changed into clothes that are suited for anime watching. After I was in a tank top and boxer I grabbed my glasses that were in my room and put them on since I knew my eyes were going to get fucked up from how long I would be awake and watching anime.
Now that I was ready for what I plan I just sat down on my bed and scrolled through the job app on my phone and looked for a place I could probably work at without worrying that someone may just eat me.
Later…
“So, explain somethin’ to me. Why do I gotta join you for this TSL full series DVD Marathon Night you’re doin’?! And you say it’s 12 hours?! What’s up with that?! We’ll be up all damn night!” Mammon was glaring at me as I put the DVD into the TV. I still don't get why he didn’t know that. Why did he think I told him to get me energy drinks? Also, I am pretty sure demons can stay awake for long periods.
“Yeah, and it’s almost midterms. You must have a lot of free time, Mammon.” Beel was also in my room and currently eating my snacks that were slowly disappearing but that is what I got Mammon here for. Replacing my lack of snacks and ordering some food!
“No, I DON’T! …. Anyway, you’re the one to talk! What about you, Beel?! You’re here too!” Mammon was now glaring at Beel as he continued to eat some of my chips. I was trying to grab some of the snacks that I wanted to eat slowly away from Beel. Mammon would have to get what he wanted himself. I mean at least we also have a huge bowl of popcorn that I made for this marathon. Didn’t see caramel popcorn in the house so got to settle for the plain popcorn.
“A movie marathon means there’s going to be popcorn.” Beel was eyeing the popcorn that I placed in the center of the table with hungry eyes. I slowly inch it away from him, not wanting him to start eating it before the DVD even starts.
“You’re tellin’ me you’re here for the food, beggin’ the human for treats like some kind of dog?!” Mammon looked even more annoyed and I was wondering if I should order him to just sit down already so we can watch the DVD.
“All I know is that once we start watching, I get to start eating. So, hurry it up!” I don’t know what to say to Beel as I looked to the ground of my room that was filled with empty bags of snacks that Mammon got me.
“Ugh, this is so stupid that it’s… it’s unreal. Why am I stuck watching this too…?” Mammon was still grumbling to himself as he slowly sat on the ground. When I was sure that Mammon wasn’t going to get up again I turned off the light by reaching over to the light switch near my bed and started the movie.
The Tale of the Seven Lords… DVD Volume 2. Though they represent two different species, the protagonist Henry and the Lord of Shadow bridge such differences to form a pact. Working together, they set a trap for the Lord of Fools, who falls victim to it.
The Lord of Fools is then driven off, chased up into the snowy northern country. It’s there in the cold, barren wastes that he discovers the frozen body of his former sweetheart, Geldie. He once loved her, before they parted…
“Wh.. seriously?! He’s finally reunited with her, only to find out that she’s dead?! No… that can’t be! Can’t he, like, use some magic or somethin’ to bring her back to life….?! Don’t you dare die, Geldie! It can’t end like this, it just can’t….! He’s gonna find a way to save Geldie, right?! What do you think? Please… please say he saves her…!” Mammon was looking at both me and Beel with anxious eyes. I couldn’t help but wonder how quickly he switched to being into this series.
“If you want to know what happens, you’ll have to keep watching.” Beel calmly told Mammon this and Mammon just turned back to watch the TV, since looking anxious. I took a sip of my energy drink as I continued to watch the DVD. I was deeply invested in this show but I was better at holding it in.
DVD Volume 5. The Lord of Flies faces a crisis after his country is invaded by hostile forces from another land. The opposing army isolates them, cutting off supply lines so they will starve. Hoping to aid his brother, the Lord of Fools arranges for food supplies to be smuggled in. However, a long spell of wet, rainy weather causes all of the food he has sent to spoil.
As a result, the Lord of Flies’ land is beset by an outbreak of disease, on top of the famine they already face…
“... Don’t blame the Lord of Fools….! He was worried about the Lord of Flies and wanted to help… That’s all! I can’t believe the food ends up spoiling… It’s not fair. He was bein’ so helpful, and he meant well… So, why… WHY…?” Mammon was crying pretty hard and I was rubbing his back to calm him down a bit. I handed him a couple of tissues that he took and blew his nose with.
“Mammon, stop crying. Your nose is running, you know.” Beel gave Mammon the side-eye as he continued to cry. I really can’t believe that Mammon becomes emotional when he watches stuff like this. He is a sensitive demon.
“Come on, how can I NOT cry watchin’ this, huh?! It’s all so saaaaaaaaad…!” Mammon started to cry even harder and I continued to rub his back, hoping that it would bring him some sort of comfort.
DVD Volume 7. In year 825 of the ancient era, the Lord of Emptiness leads a sudden rebellion against his eldest brother, the Lord of Corruption. Unwilling to forgive this betrayal, the Lord of Corruption imprisons him within the Tower of Shadow in the farthest corner of the world.
The other lords lament the fate that has befallen their youngest brother, but there is nothing they can do. For they fear incurring the wrath of the Lord of Corruption above all else…
“Seriously, what is wrong with them? They’re brothers, aren’t they? Couldn’t one of them have done something to stop it from coming to this? I mean, sure, maybe the Lord of Emptiness himself deserves some of the blame, too. But even so, I can’t believe they’d abandon their brother like that…” Mammon looked irritated as he watched the TV, not liking how the other lords were acting. Beelzebub's expression didn't look so good either but I couldn’t know if it was because he was invested in the show or if it was because he wanted more food.
I could feel my eyes getting heavy as I continued to watch the DVD and I had to force myself to stay awake. I don’t know when it happened but I was on the floor with Mammon and Beel. I had an energy drink in my hand as I continued to watch the DVD with focus eyes.
I could feel my body kinda swaying and I ended up with my head on Mammon's shoulder. I could feel him tense up for a second but relax rather quickly. Seeing as I wasn’t dead from doing this I figure this was okay to do but I was tired as hell but I knew the moment I went on my bed I would fall asleep.
Just a few more hours of this and I could finally go to sleep. But my ass is killing me from sitting on the ground so long, I should consider buying some bean bags chairs for my room when I get money again.
