"Oh, what about me? What role do I play?"
"Shesi-kun, you can play my husband, right? Asmodeus can play the old lady next door."
"Nani?" Asmodeus wondered why he had to play that role.
...When everyone was panting from exhaustion, they unknowingly arrived in front of a giant gate, which was locked with many locks, making it look incredibly formidable.
"Ah~ You're all out of energy already? I have drinks here, would you like some? And snacks too," Clara said, looking at them.
Iruma looked at this scene with a bit of surprise, glancing at Clara's pocket.
"Thank you... what is this?"
"Hehe, this is my family ability. As long as it's something I've seen, I can pull out anything, no matter what it is."
"That's pretty amazing, a conceptual skill?" Shesi said, taking the drink.
At this moment, three people walked over from the other side.
"Hey, Clara."
Clara immediately ran over after hearing him.
"Yoh-chin."
The person named Yoh-chin patted Clara's head.
"Good girl, have you gained more owners?"
Clara happily replied, "Yes."
"That's enough, can I have some juice?"
Clara obediently conjured juice and handed it to the three of them.
Not long after the three left, Shesi walked over.
"Who are those three?"
Clara turned around and explained, "Oh, those are people who get happy and occasionally play with me if I give them some things. But Shesi-kun, Iruma-kun, and Asmodeus, you are the first ones who seriously played with me."
Hearing this, Shesi clicked his tongue.
"Owner? That's an irritating title."
Don't misunderstand, Shesi wasn't angry because Clara was being bullied. It was because during his time in the human world, Shesi had been tricked into working there. Although he quit immediately after two days when he found out the job content, there was a rich woman who kept harassing him and even threatened him, which is why Shesi now gets a bit angry whenever he hears that word.
"Putting that aside, Iruma-kun, Shesi-kun, and Asmodeus, are you still willing to play with me?"
"Yes," Shesi said, glancing at Iruma and Asmodeus, then patted Clara's head.
"We will."
Just like that, the four of them played until the afternoon. As Clara walked alone in the hallway, preparing to return to the classroom, she seemed to hear some voices.
"That special student is really a busybody, tsk. It seems like he's still playing with her." On the stairs, "Yoh-chin" and two others were sitting on the stairs, talking.
"I don't understand why he would play with that stupid woman."
"Baka, of course it's because it's convenient. Just play a bit and occasionally use that ability. It's more like compensation for mental distress. Just appease her appropriately, and then the special student will get annoyed."
"As expected of Yoh-chin~"
"Hahahaha."
Clara, who was eavesdropping, said, "...I know..."
On a chair outside, Shesi was lying down, with Iruma sitting beside him.
"Brother, this..." Iruma looked at the juice he got from Clara, deep in thought, and looked at his brother, just about to speak.
Before he could say two sentences, Shesi interrupted him.
"I understand you. I've already told Asmodeus."
"Asmodeus? Told him what?"
Just as Iruma was about to ask further, Clara suddenly popped out of the bushes behind the chair and sat directly on Shesi's stomach, who was originally lying down.
"Pfft!"
Shesi almost saw his great-grandmother from that impact.
"Ta-da! Shesi-kun, and Iruma-kun, these are my favorite snacks, and books, drinks, dolls, all for you. I can get you anything Shesi-kun wants too, so... um... can we still play together..."
Iruma looked at Shesi, who was beneath Clara, and it seemed his brother needed a moment to recover.
"No need," Iruma said.
Clara immediately burst into tears upon hearing this.
"Why... why won't you play with me even after I give you things? Is it still not okay? Is it because I'm stupid, and you have to give things to play with me? Because this is a play fee..."
At this moment, a hand reached out to Clara's head.
"Idiot, true friends aren't bound by snacks or anything; it's by genuine feelings. Although you've encountered people like that before, we will play with you, and we'll play with you even without you giving us things," Shesi said, reaching out to pat Clara's head again. He had to admit, even though demons either had horns or long ears, they felt very smooth to the touch.
"Really?" Clara looked at Shesi beneath her.
"Really, but Clara, you need to get up; you're a bit heavy."
Hearing this, Clara blushed, jumped up, and sat on Shesi again.
Shesi, on the other hand, almost spat blood from that impact.
"Clara isn't heavy at all! Shesi-kun is a big idiot!"
Suddenly, the "Yoh-chin" trio walked over again.
"Hey, Clara, can you give us three bottles of juice?"
Shesi was about to refuse when Clara covered his mouth with one hand and said, "Watch this." She then walked towards the three, rummaged through her pocket, and pulled out an enormous vending machine, slamming it onto Yoh-chin's face.
"Just put coins in and drink as much as you want, bye-bye now!"
She turned back to look at the surprised Shesi and Iruma.
"Haha, did I overdo it a bit?"
At this moment, Asmodeus also returned.
"I have reported to Lord Shesi that, as per your command, everyone who teased Clara has promised not to bother her again."
"Oh, thank you, Asmodeus," Shesi replied with a smile.
Asmodeus looked at Shesi's smile and instantly became excited, as if injected with adrenaline.
"It is my honor to serve Lord Shesi."
Clara's gaze towards Shesi changed again. Her face inexplicably turned red, wondering what she was thinking.
""They're not allowed to bother me anymore?""
However, Clara mumbled this quietly, and others didn't hear it.
Meanwhile, Iruma took out the handkerchief his grandfather had given him from his pocket and started wiping Asmodeus. For some reason, Asmodeus seemed to have dust on him? Or was it burns? Seeing Iruma helping him wipe his clothes, Asmodeus felt flattered.
Just as Asmodeus was about to say something out of emotion, a colored slime suddenly flew towards Asmodeus, knocking him down.
"Asmodeus is all white, so he's perfect as a canvas."
And so, the frolic began again.
The next day,
Shesi and Iruma, upon leaving, saw Asmodeus and Clara waiting outside the door.
"Lord Shesi, Lord Iruma."
"She Si-chin, Iruma-kun."
Looking at Clara, who was sitting in a strange pose beside them,
Iruma reluctantly said, "You're certainly energetic this morning."
Sullivan also heard this and walked out, looking at Shesi and Iruma.
"That's wonderful. It seems my grandsons have made friends."
Hearing this, Iruma was startled and secretly thought to himself.
