~MC's pov~
' You had to fight with him again, huh?' my brother started as he pats my back.
' What?! He's annoying as hell! He can't even shut up for a day!' I refuted, glancing at the tanned demon.
' But he still took care of you, didn't he?'
' How is he taking care of me if he keeps on getting me into trouble? It doesn't make any sense!'
' Think about it. He never leave your side, right? Do you think you would be safe if he's not there?'
' . . . ' I stunned at his words, giving his words quite the deep thought.
' I understand that he's annoying, I even find it annoying too. But look at the good side. Without him, I might not be able to see you here.' he continued. We arrive at the school gate and he pats my head.
' At least show him that you're grateful for that. See you later, sis.'
I stood there as M/n goes to Satan. Mammon paced towards me seconds later.
' Hey, human! Let's go!' he said when he's next to me. I followed suit, still thinking about what my brother have said. I guess seeing me so silent suddenly got him worried.
' ... Why are you so silent, huh? Cat got your tongue?'
' Wow, I thought you don't know any phrases like that. I'm impressed!'
' Oh, come on! Why is everyone saying I'm dumb?!'
' That's because you are.' I replied, snickering as we walk around the halls.
' Hey! I'll let you know, human, that I'm THE Mammon! I'm so awesome that you should be grateful that you got to be with me for a second!'
' Yeah, yeah. Whatever.' I rolled my eyes at the statement he made. Like can you be more narcissist than that?
' You're rude, you know that?'
' It's called being rational.'
Seeing that he can't really win this argument, he stopped as we continue our tracks. I glance at him.
' Hey, Mammon.'
' What?'
' Thanks for staying by my side.'
He stopped in his tracks, stunned as he stared at me. I turn to face him, looking at his dumb expression.
' What?' He shot out, wondering if what he has heard is really what I said.
' We're gonna be late if you just stand there like a statue, Stupidmammon!' I exclaimed, smirking at the nickname.
' Damn you! I was about to forget about that!' he shouted as he started to chase after me. We race down the hallways until we both reach our classroom.

~M/n's pov~
' We both have quite the active siblings, huh?' I said to Satan, watching MC and Mammon started sprinting in the hallway, disappearing after the turn.
' It seems so.' he replied, shaking his head. ' Lucifer won't like the sound of that.'
' Yup. Anyways, do you have sports here?' I asked.
' No.'
' Huh. Guess I can live without it. Are there any human besides me and MC?'
' Yes, there's Solomon and he's a sorcerer. I think he's more than a hundred years old.'
' That old?! Damn, I need to see what skincare he uses!' I mused, remembering that the three people left in the room yesterday all looked of similar age with MC. I think Satan heard what I said since he chuckled at my response.
We chatted until we arrive at our classroom, entering as all eyes are on us.
' Guess it's gonna be a long day...' I thought as I followed Satan, sitting next to him...

~3rd person pov~
M/n and Satan sat on one of the table in the cafeteria, discussing about the previous lessons as they eat.
' Um... Hello. Do you mind if we sit with you guys?' Two girls are standing by their table, looking a bit antsy as they wait for them to give any response. One of them gave off a confident and bubbly vibes while the other just stayed behind her, looking timid and shy throughout the interaction. M/n glance around the place and it seems that the cafeteria is quite crowded.
' Maybe they couldn't find other vacant seats?' M/n thought to himself.
' I don't mind. What about you, Satan?' M/n finally said, igniting a bit of hope in the girls heart.
' Go ahead.' he replied, not giving off any emotions to them.
' Thank you!' the same girl exclaimed as she sit next to M/n while the timid girl sit next to Satan.
' Are you new here? I haven't seen you before.' the girl next to M/n asked.
' Yeah, I am. It's my first day here.' he answered nonchalantly as he scoops in some food into his mouth. Satan visibly ignored the girls as he focused on finishing his lunch. He didn't pay any attention to the interaction between M/n and the bubbly girl, that is until M/n make a statement.
' Pardon me for making assumptions, but can you not put your hands on my thighs? It doesn't give any effect to me. Plus, people who approach me for sex are a turn off. Are you a succubus by any chance?' M/n said with a smile plastered on his face. But, his eyes aren't smiling at all the whole time.
The girl's face turned quite red from the statement, embarrassment and slight anger from what M/n had said.
' Don't think of yourself to highly! You're just a lowly human! Who wants to have sex with you?!' the girl refuted, maybe trying to save her face.
' You, apparently. And mind your manners in front of one of the student council members. To think you have the guts to behave like this in front of him.' M/n didn't even spare a glance at her as he continues to eat his lunch.
' You-!!!'
' If you still have some brain in that miniscule head of yours, you would have at least leave to save your face. But seeing that you don't even have one, I guess you're going to sacrifice all of your dignity here just to justify your petty little pride.' M/n turned to her, smiling devilishly at her once he's done consuming his food.
' Anyways, since me and my friend here has finished our lunch, we'll be making our way first. Oh and please take care of that peabrain succubus for me, dear. I owe you one.' M/n finalized, saying the last part to the timid girl that sat next to Satan. She just nod profusely as the two guys stand up from their seat.
' Please, have a good day.' The smile on M/n's face dropped once he said it, making his way to put back the tray along with Satan next to him.
They both walk out of the cafeteria despite the buzzing noise of whispers in it, probably about them. Satan kept his mouth shut as they head to their class, feeling the tension exerted by the human next to him. Nothing is spoken as sounds from their surroundings accompany them.
' Sorry about earlier.' M/n finally speak, breaking the silence between both of them. He looked apologetically at the demon next to him.
' She did intrude on your personal space. Nothing to be sorry about. By the way, are you okay?' Satan responded, feeling genuine concern towards the human.
' It's okay. She just touched a sore spot but that's nothing new. Guess, humans and demons are quite alike on that part.' M/n shrugged.
' You experienced it in human realm too?'
' Yeah, most of the time. Part of me is used to it.'
' I see... You seems to have it tough everywhere, huh?'
' And that is what they call life.'
' Quite an interesting view of life there. Fan of philosophy?'
' Kinda.'
' I'll let Lucifer know about this incident so it won't happen again in the future.'
' Thanks. I appreciate it.' M/n said, patting Satan's back before they enter the class. For the next few hours of the day, it all went peacefully...

Satan and M/n was on their way back to their dorm when MC is running towards them.
' BROTHER!!! HELP ME!!!' she shouted desperately as she hid behind M/n. Soon, Lucifer came into their line of sight, having an ominous aura around him. Satan and MC already break in sweat at the sight of him. M/n, however, looked unfazed by the intimidating vibe Lucifer gave off when he saw MC.
' Welcome back, Satan, M/n. Now, if you don't mind, will you hand MC over for her punishment for breaking the rules?' he greeted the other two as he glared menacingly at the girl behind M/n.
M/n swiftly grabbed the collar of the t-shirt MC is wearing and drag her to the front. Lucifer grabbed her before she could make an escape. MC blinked in disbelief at M/n before struggling to escape from Lucifer's grip.
' Thank you for your cooperation. Satan, you can wait in my office first. I'll be there in a minute.'
' DAMN YOU, M/N!! YOU TRAITOR!!!'
' You simply pick the wrong person to help you. And it's your fault to begin with. See you later, dear sister~!'
MC continued to throw profanities towards her brother as she was dragged away for her punishment. M/n and Satan stayed there for a few minutes, enjoying the scene of MC flailing, trying to escape from the torture that she'll face.
' Well, that is settled with. Let's go ahead, shall we?' M/n said, putting his hands inside the pockets of his pants.
' You are quite ruthless with your sister. You don't even spare any second to defend her.' Satan chuckled as they start to stroll back to House of Lamentation.
' I wouldn't say that it's something I should defend her from. She needs to be reminded that every actions has its own consequences. And most of the time, it's bad. She needs to realize that part before the time I can't be by her side comes.' M/n mused the last part to himself.
' I guess everyone has their own way of teaching.'
' Yep.'

~M/n's pov~
I was chilling in the room, looking through the apps in D.D.D and look through the D:Jobs for any part-time jobs I can take on. I can't rely on my sister like that forever now, can I?
MC strode in, dragging her legs due to muscle cramps from strenuous activity she had to do after school.
' What's up? Want me to do a massage session for you?' I said without even batting an eye.
' First of all, fuck you. Second of all, yes please, thanks.'
' You should be grateful that I'm your brother.' I said, snickering as she slump herself on her bed.
' You didn't even help me earlier. I should have cut off my ties with you.'
' Yeah, right. It was caused by your own actions by the way. Where's the ointment?'
' On the table... Ugh... It hurts...'
' Then, don't break rules. Lay down properly.'
' Okay...'
~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~
~Satan's pov~
' So, Satan. Any report on M/n's first day?' Lucifer asked me as he enters the office, closing the door before sitting in his chair.
' Well, everything's fine. He can handle the subjects fine. He have to do some of his own study on certain subjects that aren't taught back in the human realm though. Other than that, everything's okay. However...' I trailed off, thinking about the incident during lunch.
' Did something happened?'
' Yeah... He seems to have taken care of it earlier. But seeing the her face, she might get a so-called revenge on him.'
' Who?'
' When we were having lunch, two girls sat with us since the cafeteria was quite crowded. One of them sat next to him and she invaded his privacy by touching his.. thighs. He seemed quite mad but he settles it in a calm demeanour. So, no blood was spilled.'
' Huh... I guess we have keep an eye on the situation. Do you know her name?'
' No. I'll try to ask him later.'
' Okay. Good job, Satan. Let's go. Dinner's should be ready.'
