At the motel

Sunday morning, 07:15 AM

Ring...ring...ring

Hearing the phone's ring, Minoru sat up from the bed and looked at the phone's screen. It was his mother.

"Mom, it's me!" *yawn*

"Minoru, you seem tired. Staying up late again."

Minoru glanced at Lucifer sleeping beside him.

"Yes...I was studying last night, there will be a test next week." Minoru scratched his head and he thought of a lie.

"...Ok, tests are important, but your health is important too. Remember to sleep soon, eat healthily,..."

After "eat healthily", Minoru no longer paid attention to what his mother was saying, as his mother had said it many many times before, to the point he had learned by heart the repetition.

"Minoru, are you still hearing what I'm saying?"

"Yes, Mom, I'm hearing."

*sigh* "Alright, remember what I told you...ah, by the way, is there any girl..."

"No, Mom, I still haven't found a girl that really charms me. By the way, how are you lately?"

"I'm fine. Last Friday, I went to the party at Mrs. Tanaka's house, it was really fun...."

"Alright, Mom, I have to go get breakfast now. Take care!"

Minoru hung up the phone.

(There won't be any girl, Mom.) Minoru thought as he looked at Lucifer sleeping beside him.

After a few minutes, Minoru looked at the time on the phone screen.

(Oh no, I slept through the alarm. Only 5 minutes until the new episode of Gao-onger!) Minoru immediately got off the bed.

(Ouch...my back and butt hurt so much.) Minoru stroked his back gently (Are you really the Avatar of Pride? You act more like the Avatar of Lust!) Minoru glanced at the demon who shared the bed with him last night.

After 5 minutes, Minoru finally done with his morning routine. The moment he turned on the TV, the opening of Gao-onger was showing.

The monster-of-the-week was Mammon, from the Devil Army. He was ordered by Diablo himself to lead an army of demon to conquer Earth. But due to his greediness, he fell into the Rangers' trap.

"Onore! I'll revenge when we meet again, Rangers!" Mammon on screen said as he retreated.

"Mammon! You fool! Your greed blinded you and you can't even do the job right!" Minoru said as if he was the boss of the villains in the series.

"...So that what ya really think about me!" Mammon looked like he was going to cry.

Minoru turned around, surprised to see Mammon.

"No, Mammon, it was not you, it was another Mammon, on TV!" Minoru tried to explain.

"Explanation only makes ya look more guilty!"

"..."

"Nothing else to say? Admitting that ya...mmm..."

Before Mammon could finish his sentence, Minoru kissed him.

"Don't think that a kiss could appease my anger!" Mammon blushed, his voice had become softer.

"Awww...get a room! You two!" Little D. No. 2 shouted, interrupting the romantic moment between the two.

"Could ya stop bothering us, Little Pip-squeak! Go away, no one needs ya here!" Mammon shouted as he grabbed Little D. No. 2.

"BWAAAAAHHHH! DADDY IS HITTING ME! DOMESTIC VIOLENCE! HELP! HELP!"

"IT'S STILL EARLY IN THE MORNING AND YOU ALL MAKING RUCKUS DOWN HERE!" Lucifer appeared and shouted.

(It's already 8, Lucifer!) Minoru said in his head.

"So who's on cooking duty for today?" Lucifer asked.

Both Minoru and Little D. No. 2 pointed at Mammon.

"Wait, what!? Since when did..."

"Mammon, go make breakfast! Don't make me repeat this!" Lucifer said.

After the breakfast,

"After the discussion yesterday, it had been decided that we would find Satan first, as he is the most easy to find." Lucifer said.

"Yeah, since he's either with book or with cat!" Mammon said.

"Alright, Mammon and No. 2, you two will go to cat shelters and other places related to cats!" Lucifer began to assign the jobs.

"Wait, why do I have to be with the Little Pip-squeak!" Mammon protested.

"Either you go with No. 2, or else!"

"...Fine!"

"And you, Minoru!" Lucifer turned to Minoru "You will go with me to places with books, starting with the Central Library, the biggest library in the country!"

"Not fair!" both Mammon and No. 2 protested.
