《Welcome To Demon School! Ryūko-chan & Iruma-kun [Volume I]》Chapter III Story II [Demon Friends]
Advertisement
Ryūko and Iruma were about to leave the mansion on another day of school. In front of the entrance gate, they see Asmodeus, Lavande and Clara waiting to pick them up. "Morning, Iruma and Ryūko-chi!" Greeted Clara while doing some random dancing. "Good morning/Good morrow, Iruma and Ryūko-sama." Greeted Asmodeus and Lavande bowing. "You're full of energy first thing in the morning." Said Iruma. Sullivan was behind the twins with a cup of tea in his hand. "Oh, how nice, Ryūko-chan and Iruma-kun." He said, "You've made three friends!" "Huh?! Er, actually, we're not sure if we'd call them friends." Said Iruma, "We just sort of play together and talk." "I thought that was what you called "" in the human world." Said Sullivan, "Was I wrong?" "See how would they feel we must do." Said Ryūko. "Besides, we don't know whether humans and demons can be friends."
"Hey, I have a very important faculty meeting today, So I'm heading to school." Said Sullivan walking off to school, "We're dicussing on classes today." With that, the group went of to school and have conversations as they walk. "My lady, may I say, that dark uniform of yours is flawlessly soul-slaying." Said Lavande refering to Ryūko's new gothic uniform, "As expected of Lady Ryūko, recreating her mental image onto her uniform presenting her true colours." "Thank you, Lavande." Said Ryūko, "The standerd uniform was not my style and hair colour's suitability anyways." Ryūko's uniform consists of a white collared dress shirt with a white gold jabot, a black military uniform style jacket with white trims and gold chains and buttons and a black skirt with a white ribbon sewing through the folds of the skirt and white lace on the hem, along with the matching jacket accessories. She still wears the same black tights and black Japanese school shoes as always. Similar with Asmodeus's jabot, she pins the pleated fabric with the demon eye gemstone from her previous uniform.
The group decided to go to the cafeteria as there aren't any set plans for today. There was a variety of food to choose from the menu. Ryūko and Iruma are still wary of the Netherworld cuisine, but suprisingly tastes good and they weren't food poisoned from eating such. Iruma looked at a purple crest next to the selections and asked Asmodeus what it is. "That's a rank crest." Explained the demon, "Your performance at Babyls is ranked, and the food you can order depends on your rank." "I see." Commented Ryūko, "Ranks must be very competitive in the Netherworld." "We are yet to be ranked so, we may only ask for those here." Said Lavande pointing at a selection under a red title. "That's section's so narrow and tiny!" Commented Iruma. The demons also said that school meals are free whereas items at the school store can be purchased.
As expected, the food is odd looking so Iruma and Ryūko can't decide on what to pick, in cases like that, they asked Asmodeus and Lavande to help them out with it. "Of course. We'll put together a random selection and bring it over to you both." Said Asmodeus. "If there is something out of your satifactions, do share it with us as we are more than happy to do so." Added Lavande.
The siblings took their seats and Clara went... who in the Netherworld knows where? Ryūko plays with Iruma's ahoge that was moving from his happiness in a cute way. "O-Onē-chan. Stop playing with my ahoge." Said Iruma. "Can't help it." Said Ryūko, "It looks cute when moving like that." "Our apologises." Said Asmodeus and Lavande approaching the table, "We had trouble deciding what we should have you two try-" Lavande's cat ear twitched and brings her tray off the table immediately along with Asmodeus's tray before a big ampunt of food was dumped on their group's table. "Hey! What is all this?!" Asked Asmodeus. "Well, someone ordered one hundred servings..." Said one of the adult demons. "Who is the Netherworld would order that amount of food?" Questioned Ryūko mentally.

That question would be answered now as Lavande's left cat ear drop-points her head to three demon student snickering, must have been a prank. "Such lowbrow prank..." Complained Asmodeus. "My lord, my lady, allow us to dispose of this-" Lavande and Asmodeus were lost for words when Iruma and Ryūko managed to complete the one hundred servings divided amongst themselves, fifty for each of them. Rather an impressive feat, this caused them to gain more attention.
"They're eating so much..."
"That's a ton of food."
"But they're so tiny..."
"That's hot."
"Slim girls with big appetites are actually cute."
Ryūko finishes her set and start to shift her ruby and sapphire irises to Iruma. "Do the stares of others make you use uneased?" Asked Ryūko. "I-Iruma-sama? Ryūko-sama?" Wondered Asmodeus. "Oh, were we not supposed to eat this?" Asked Iruma, "Sh-Should we spit it back out?" Ryūko facepalms with what her brother said. "This was a prank that three other students pulled on us." She said, "They ordered a hundred servings for this prank. Lavande, please deal with them, but verbally scold them and don't physically threaten them." "Yes, my lady." Obliged Lavande bowing to Ryūko before going towards the students pulling the prank. "No, that's not... you two eat quite a lot, I see..." Said Asmodeus to Iruma. "You think so?" Asked Iruma.
"If I see you plot a foolish trick upon my superiors once more, there will be punishment to pay." Scolded Lavande with a serious eye appeal and threatening tone, "Do I make this statement clear?" The three pranksters were shivering in fear from her statement and nodded before cowarding off in fear. "" The pranksters called. The knight lets out a huff of relief before escorting herself to Ryūko. "As you commanded, my lady, I made sure the lot who made this humiliation promise not to disgrace your and Sir Iruma's images again." Said Lavande bowing to the twins. "Thank you, Lavande." Thanked Ryūko bowing back to the cat, "You only spoke with a threatening one amongst them, correct?" "But, of course. A knight always keeps his or her word and command of the superior." Replied the lavender knight.
Ryūko was fine after fifty servings but Iruma kept ordering seconds for himself. So much, that he made the chef collapses from exhaution. "The chef's down!" Said another staff member. "That kid's amazing!" Exclaimed one of the students. "Ryūko even order her knight to threaten the ones who pranked her and Iruma!" Said another student.
After Asmodeus praised Iruma and Ryūko, something else seems to occur. "" Said a small, chubby demon in a purple monster costume holding a bamboo spear. Looks like he capture Clara. "You must be Come-Come, the school shopkeeper." Said Ryūko. "That's right." Said the little demon. "Wh-What in the world?" Asked Iruma. "He played with me!" Said Clara, "Whenever I come to the school store, he plays with me!" Ryūko and Lavande sigh from the excuse. "Not play. Threaten." Said Come-Come, "You not allowed at school store. Her power reproduces what she sees. Same as stealing. Must beware this demon! Will stab shoplifter with bamboo spear." "That's way too violent!" Exclaimed Iruma.
"" Naberius Kalego shows up after being bedridden a few days ago, "Honestly. I finally come back to work, and some fool is stupid enough to cause troub-" By the second he saw Iruma, he halts. "" "Are you feeling better?" Asked Iruma. "" Yelled Kalego. Well, since Iruma summoned him as his familiar, Kalego therefore depises Iruma. "Of course, it had to be the last person I wanted to see." Cursed Kalego in his mind. "Um, about the other day..." "" Threatened Kalego, "" "U-Understood, Sir." Said Iruma. "What's all this ruckus, anyway?" The teacher looked around before Ryūko decides to tell him to ask Clara. "Don't ask the rest of us. Just ask the girl in green hair and curled horn above her ears." Said Ryūko. Savage much for a girl. "There seems to be one more..." Thought Kalego. Clara doesn't seem to hesitate addressing him. "I'm Clara! Know what? I went in the school store and got in trouble, but Azz-Azz gave me snacks!" Said the energetic child who Ryūko is pulling off from the teacher, "Do you like chocolate, Eggie-sensei? I'm gonna put some in your pockets!"

Obnoxious + Brash + Inconsiderate of others = The type of person Kalego hates the most.
"I'm going home." Sighed Kalego before turning away, but Clara stops him from going home. "Is it true you're Iruma-chi's familiar?" Asked Clara. All the other students gave a "Wait, seriously?!" from what Clara exposed. "Valac-san! You're not supposed to say that!" Said Ryūko. For a freshman... or "fresh-woman", Ryūko has the guts to stand up for the scary Kalego. However, Clara doesn't listen and wants to see him as a familiar. "Wanna see! I wanna see! I wanna see you be summoned!" Exclaimed Clara with excitement. "" Ordered Kalego. "Iruma-chi, grab that sticker!" Instructed Clara to Iruma,"You too, Ryūko-chi! I heard you have a cute familiar too." "Unfortunately, Valac, you are, by any means, no superior to me." Refused Ryūko with the coldest voice she has and putting her hand out in a 'stop' formation, "As I am neither your servant or suborinate in whatever way, ranks especially, you cannot tell me what to do." "" Yelled the other students from hearing her serious side.
"She sounds dead serious!"
"What a savage demon!"
"But her eyes make her special; a red and blue eye on different sides..."
"She's a kinda special demon too."
"That's how a superior demon should sound like!"
"As expected of Ryūko-sama! This is how the superior demon should behave! A truly aristocrat manner!" Praised Asmodeus and Lavande. Iruma however, was shocked that his own sister actually refused to do something. Anyways, he follows Clara's instructions: stick the sticker on your hand and throw your hands up. Kalego was alarmed. "Wait, no! Don't! That'll-" "Huzzah!" Too late, Iruma makes Kalego shift into his familiar form. "He really is a familiar!" Said the other students in suprise. Now, Kalego is trying to avoid Clara touching him since he looks cute as a familiar. "" Said Kalego in irritation. Clara told Iruma that was summoning sticker he placed on his hand, the mini size costs 333 bills. "" Said Kalego to Iruma who apologised. "Huh? You want me to clap a rhythm?" Asked Iruma. "" Replied Kalego already having enough of this nonsense.
Iruma was about to clap his hands, but he was interfered by Come-Come nearly stabbing him with the trusty bamboo spear. "" Shouted Come-Come. "Damn it! Why did you listen to her, Iruma?! The summoning stucker was merchandise!" Yelled Ryūko inwardly. She was about to pay 333 bills for the sticker, however, Come-Come kept thrusting his spear at her group and they had no other choice but flee the cafeteria. Horrified in a rush, Iruma forgot about Kalego, unhappy to be left, not being transformed back into his demon form. "" Shouted the little bird. Eventually, he was caught in a net by the shopkeeper.
"."
Now, Iruma's group was resting on a lawn from the scary moment. "Th-That was scary." Said Iruma. "Thank goodness there was a decoy." Said Asmodeus. Clara then picked up five ice cream cones, which she said were from the floor. Now Ryūko is wondering whether they should be more worried about confronting Come-Come again or the stuff that Clara picked up from the ice cream. Iruma said that they should pay for those later. "Yay, there's five! Let's cheers!" Said Clara, "Let's hope that all five of use are in the same class!" "Are they announcing classes tomorrow?" Asked Iruma. "Hmph. It's unthinkable that Iruma-sama, Ryūko-sama, my lady and I will be in seperate classes." Said Asmodeus. "Me too, me too!" Exclaimed Clara. "Yeah... I hope we'll be in the same class." Said Iruma. "Wait, that last person. Who were you refering to?" Asked Ryūko. "Why, of course the beautiful knight of our group." Answered Asmodeus, refering to none other than Lavande. The said knight was now blushing with her ears dropped down in embarrassment. "I-I am not too sure about my appearence, Sir Amodeus." Stammered Lavande shyly, "Beautiful I might not be."
"Oh, Onē-chan. Why did you refuse Clara earlier?" Asked the spiky haired boy. "We're not who and where we used to be, Iruma." Said Ryūko with a small cute smile before taking Iruma's free hand into her own, "This is the Netherworld we're in. Our so-called parents aren't ordering us around anymore and we don't need to be forced to work ourselves like we used to. We get to make our own decisions, these decisions you make will also lead you to your fate or ambitions. I've wanted to fufill my ambitions and surely you wanted to be free of our stupid parents. At least we are now here and... not up there." Iruma was moved by his sister's speech, "Although I said I want to achieve the best of my school years, it doesn't put the sibling bond I keep with you after fourteen years being put through every unfortunate thing. That's why... I vowed to be with you, both in person and heart to another heart. Will you feel the same?" Iruma couldn't help but felt a heartbeat stronger that usual. He places his hand on his heart feeling the sensation before looking at her sister's eyes again. "I will feel it with you, Onē-chan. And always will love you as my sister who protected me all these years." Said Iruma before embracing Ryūko. She embraced back and as they pull apart, she takes his left hand and kisses his knuckles, not romantically, but this is how a strong sibling relationship should be.
Meanwhile, Asmodeus, Lavande and Clara are excited to start having classes with Iruma and Ryūko. Their smiles look so genuine that it warmed the twins' hearts. "So can Ryūko and I call you three... o-our friends, rights?" Asked Iruma. The unexpecting bit is where the three demons stared at them with dezed looks, almost as if they... It can't be... Or does it? "Urm, Iruma-sama... What are these " you and your sister speak of?" Asked Asmodeus. "Are they like mochi?" Asked Clara. "What? You don't know?" Asked Ryūko. "To be truthful, we do not know of this and are ashamed." Said Lavande with her tail's tip going side to side. "Ooey-gooey mochi mochis?" Asked Clara only thinking about Japanese sweet rice cakes. "No wonder. Demons don't know the concept of friends in the first place nor first sight." Thought Ryūko in realisation. "Iruma-sama, Ryūko-sama, what are these ?" Asked Asmodeus. "Mochi! What are these ooey-gooey mochi mochis?" Asked Clara.
Without hesitation, the twins decided to explain what friends are to them. "Friends are people you play with and eat meals with, and they're really important to you... I think/You may say." Explained Iruma and Ryūko, "So that would make you our friend number one, friend number two, and friend number three." "Okay! I'm number one!" Claimed Clara. "Don't you try to get ahead of me! There's no doubt that I'm number one!" Opposed Asmodeus. Ryūko settles the fight by giving them the title, "Friend Nr.1". "" Clara hugs Iruma and Ryūko suddenly, Asmodeus yells at Clara to keep her hands of them, she refused. Lavande just watches the fight between Asmodeus and Clara. "This feels like quite a big family." Thought the feline, "Wait, why did I think of such? Don't make yourself think of this such thing. Not as if Sir Asmodeus would propose to be my soulmate, anyway. Perhaps... not at all."
"There's still so much we don't understand about our lives at the demon school Babyls, and it's still full of suprises and worries. But with these three, we think we might be able to enjoy our lives at school. We just hope things will continue to be peaceful." - Suzuki Ryūko and Iruma.
During The Faculty Meeting
"So, I assume there are no objections after this faculty meeting." Said Sullivan, "This concludes the class assignments for the new students. Valac-kun, Asmodeus-kun, Félin-kun, Iruma-kun and Ryūko-kun will be joining the Misfit Class for problem children."
Sullivan then stamps the profiles of Ryūko's group.
Interval/Sukima
The group apologised to Come-Come for the accidental shoplifting earlier and Asmodeus paid for the summoning sticker and ice creams. The shopkeeper seem appeased. "Be more carefulnext time." Said Come-Come, "I'm so unlucky today. I didn't get to finish my meal." "Your meal?" Asked Iruma. "That birdie... Roasted." Explained Come-Come, "But he turned into a demon halfway through and ran away." That bird he was talking about must be none other than Naberius Kalego, still in his summoned form.
To pay for the troubles, Ryūko gives the shopkeeper a delicious lunch set she made with some human world taste. "Is this for me?" Asked Come-Come. "You said you didn't get to finish your meal. That was Sir Kalego as Iruma's familiar." Said Ryūko, "And as the school shopkeeper, you must've worked hard. Go on." Come-Come thanks Ryūko for the lunchbox.
By the way, the effects of the familiar summoning stickers wear off after a short time. Iruma made sure to apologise to Kalego for all the trouble he caused straight afterwards. Ironically, he requested Iruma to tell Ryūko that he likes her new uniform, which he did.

This is the world the gods have turned their backs on. Even these creatures, these holy divine beings, can be overwrought with greed. Amongst themselves, amongst their factions, wars were fought. Wars were lost. Now the power risks falling into the hands of a single God. What would the people do if they knew? Knew that the gates to heaven had been slammed shut. They couldn’t even see the blood pooling beneath their feet. They had to do something, anything, to appease the gods. Rarfu was a city long known for being the center of the world. It was the city where the gods came together, and their Temple's stood amongst each other in the grand state. However, the many temples' priests had grown ignorant to their God's silence, unaware that one by one they were dying off in a war of the Heavens. Cors, the Grand God of the Sun, the father of life, had become corrupt and jealous, wanting to wrench power from all the other gods. Tillia, the Goddess of Magick and Shadow, the only God to be able to stand up against Cors, uses her dying breath to reach out to her temple for help. Knowing that Cors has made his final move to walk amongst the humans, she gives her Essence, the core of her power, to Nethira, young girl of her temple. With her remaining strength, Tillia gives Nethira a single command. To save the balance of power she must appease him. UPDATES TUES/THURS after chapter 5 Cover art by Tumblr User: @pigeon-princess This book features characters that are related to in many ways to my other novel "Grimoire". While both stories are their own stand alone series, Sun God's Corruption will add a good amount of depth to Grimoire, and Grimoire shows the unfoldings of the world that will eventually come from the events in Sun God's Corruption. I reccomend reading them both interchangably.
