"If I were a demon of mediocre status, would I be able to speak more freely and intimately with those two adults...?" As-kun said, looking at the tea in his cup.
"I'm sorry for being a mediocre person," Lead felt as if his heart had been pierced by something.
"Sigh... But I must say, in my opinion, As-kun, you're actually a pretty ordinary kid," Lead said, pointing at Asmodeus.
"Eh?"
"Although you're the student council president, weren't you still defeated by Iruma at the start of the school year? But I have to admit, you are indeed a handsome man... Darn it, even though your ranks are quite high, all of you are [5], but when the four of you are together, I feel like you're just normal students, you know? You get sad, you get angry for your friends, and you seemed so happy when you were little, such energetic classmates ~" Lead lay down.
"Also, why not just let loose a bit more? Although you've learned a lot of etiquette, you don't need to be so concerned about us, about your classmates. Do what you want to do, say what you want to say. What's wrong with being a little silly? We're still just students."
As-kun heard this and lifted his hand, which had been resting flat on the table, to cup his chin.
"Is that really okay?"
"It's fine, it's fine ~ Why not be a bit bolder? Just try to play however you like. I'd recommend Demon Donald's or Demon King's, but one thing is very important: Demon King's food might have a projectile risk, so be careful. Also, going to the game center or eating commoner instant noodles isn't bad either, you know? Oh, Asmodeus, you must have eaten this, right?"
"Mm... Iruma-sama shared some with me when he was eating," As-kun said.
"Eh? So you didn't know about instant noodles before?"
"Mm... After all, a chef always cooked for me. Although I've cooked myself, those were all high-end ingredients, not instant noodles," As-kun said.
"Then your life is truly miserable," Lead exclaimed.
As-kun: (
"Oh, by the way, there's something else, hehe, we should definitely talk about some naughty topics, right?" Lead chuckled.
"This is absolutely essential for guys' conversations. I brought it up with Iruma-kun before, and we had such a blast ~" Lead said, and then suddenly felt something was off. Why was the temperature next to him getting higher and higher?
"Still so enthusiastic? You, how dare you corrupt the pure Iruma-sama! Unforgivable! I will definitely burn you!"
"Wait... wait, didn't I say Iruma was also very interested?!"
...As-kun, who had returned from his training, looked at Iruma, who was chatting.
"Iruma-sama!"
"Hmm? I bought that new game that just came out."
"Eh? Really? That's great! Ah, I'm so looking forward to doing quests together then ~ My brother and I have both already bought it."
"Game? What game?" Clara asked.
"Mm, a game console. Clara, do you want to try it?" Lord Shesi handed his game console to Clara.
"Eh? There's such a fun thing! Shesi-kun, why didn't you take it out sooner!" Clara tried playing it and was immediately hooked.
Lord Shesi saw this and took the game console back.
"I was afraid you'd get engrossed if I played it in front of you, and school isn't a place for playing game consoles," Lord Shesi said seriously to Clara.
"You too, Iruma." Then he turned to look at Iruma.
Clara and Iruma both nodded simultaneously, indicating they understood.
Seeing this, Lord Shesi also showed a doting father's smile.
"But if you do play, we can arrange to play together then. Just don't get addicted!" Lord Shesi cautioned.
"Okay!" × 2
As-kun saw that Lord Shesi had finished his lecture and glanced at his notes again.
"Ahem, Iruma-sama, Lord Shesi, actually this game seems to have a full-body experience machine... Shall we go to the game center to play in a couple of days! And then buy some snacks. What do you two think?" As-kun suggested.
"Mm, that's not bad," Lord Shesi took the flyer, glanced at it, and then said.
"But... someone invited me that day... so I can't go," Lord Shesi said, a little sadly.
"Ah, is that so? Then Iruma-sama?" As-kun looked at Iruma.
"Mm! I'm free! Clara, are you busy?"
"No! Let's go together!"
Lord Shesi looked at the three of them.
"Then remember to be careful," Lord Shesi reminded them.
...A few days later.
Lord Shesi looked at the Derby Mousse in front of him and took a deep breath.
Upon entering, he received a warm and enthusiastic welcome from Maru.
"Welcome, welcome, Shesi, you've finally arrived," Maru said, finally relieved.
"Tsk... If I didn't have to come, I really wouldn't want to. By the way, haven't I repaid that debt yet?" Lord Shesi sighed and then said.
"Of course, the Idol Martial Arts Festival is the Martial Arts Festival, I never said that was compensation for you taking my points!" Kerori... no, she should be called Kuromu now, walked out of the changing room nearby.
"Tch... nitpicking," Lord Shesi muttered under his breath.
"What?"
"I said, the clever and intelligent Lady Kuromu."
"That's more like it."
"Alright, alright," Maru came out to mediate.
"Shesi, you should also go in and change quickly, the fan meeting is about to start," Maru said.
Lord Shesi could only sigh at this and then entered the changing room. Originally... Lord Shesi had never thought he would touch these soft, seemingly difficult-to-wear clothes. Now, not only had he touched them, he had even put them on... When Lord Shesi finished changing and came out, his face couldn't help but flush.
"No, this outfit is a bit too much, isn't it? It shows too much, doesn't it? I'm a boy! Who designed this!!!!" Lord Shesi complained, looking at his miniskirt.
"Oh my ~ So cute ~ Shesi-chan ~ I'll go out and warm up the crowd now ~" Kuromu said with a mischievous smile, complimenting Lord Shesi, and then left. Meanwhile, Maru continued to admire Lord Shesi's current appearance.
"Shesi, although I've said it before, I—"
"I won't be an Idol, thank you. And I don't need a manager," Lord Shesi directly refused.
"Then my business card—"
"It's already in the shredder," Lord Shesi said mercilessly.
"Alright..." Maru could only nod helplessly at this. Actually, it would be even better if Irumi came... After all, Irumi doesn't refuse people, you know ~ That way, Derby Mousse would have two big names ~ But a "couple" act isn't bad either ~
As soon as Lord Shesi entered, he saw a sea of people queuing.
"My goodness... *cough cough* Wow ~ So many people."
Kuromu, who was signing autographs for fans nearby, stumbled.
"Don't speak with such a strained voice, just speak normally."
"Ah, I see. It seems everyone prefers the cool and aloof me," Lord Shesi said, looking at the fans who were nodding frantically.
"Yes! Lady Urusu Jiang, please sign for me! Also, can you tell me when Lady Illumi's concert will be?"
