《Welcome To Demon School! Ryūko-chan & Iruma-kun [Volume I]》Chapter XIII Story II [The Thirteen's Dinner]
Advertisement
At the mansion after school, Ryūko and Iruma were looking at a poster in regards to an event held in Babyls Demon School. "Battler Party?" Asked Iruma. "It's a presentation held by Battler. Really, it's an introduction for all new members." Nodded Opera, "It's a lively event with various forms of entertainment and shops." "I see." Said Ryūko in thought. "Above all, the parents of the first years come to the Battler Party to observe." Continued Opera, "It's a perfect oppertunity for them to check up on their kids who just started school." "In the human world, that's basically like Parents' Day back in those schools there." Said Ryūko before she pointed at the stuff Opera was dragging to the dining room, "And what is all that?"
"The Chair-demon insisted on getting ready for it immediately." Said Opera. Earlier before Ryūko and Iruma came back home, Sullivan told Opera: "I need uncut footage of Ryūko-chan and Iruma-kun getting ready for the Battler Party. Make sure you prepare everything!" This made Ryūko facepalm in amusement as she laughed a little. "Speaking of whom, where is Grandfather?" Asked Ryūko. "Yeah, where is Grandpa?" Added Iruma. "He just left." Said Opera, "He has an important regularly scheduled meeting today." "Huh? Regulary scheduled meeting?" Asked Iruma. "A meeting of the greatest heroes in the Netherworld... ." Said Opera.
Behind extremely pointed and sharp-edged mountain scattered where the thunder strikes, illumitaing the dark skies, lies an omnious-looking tower, going by the name of . The meeting takes places in the 665th floor. "Now, let us begin our meeting." Said
"Please wait a moment. It doesn't look like everyone's here yet." Said .
"and will be absent." Said Belzebuth. No, the Asmodeus we're talking about isn't Asmodeus Alice, but rather his parent. is the , whereas is the. As you can see, their seats are vacant.
"Again? Do they actually realise they're part of the ?" Asked .
"They had other matters to attend to." Said Belzebuth, "Ley us begin the meeting." , gnawed at his drumstick and said: "The biggest problem here is overhunting of food. At this rate, we're going to die of starvation." He place his clean bone into his paper bucket before taking out another meat drumstick to eat.
"" Shouted Amaymon. "Money's not flowing like it should either." Said Astroh, "Too much trading of illegal goods going on." "Speaking of illegal, there's been an increase in high-ranked demons coming through illegally. This is a grave situation." Said , pushing up his glasses. Judging by his looks, he must be the father of Azazel Ameri, Student Council President of Babyls Demon School.
"The east is getting pretty dangerous, too." Said Amaymon, "Wouldn't you say so, girlie?" The woman Amaymon was refering to was , who was calmy sipping her tea before saying: "I dunno what yer talkin' about. Y'all do somethin' 'bout it."
"There's that annoying accent again." Said Amaymon, much of an insult to Paimon.

Belzebuth sighed at Amaymon and Paimon's bickering and said: "Because we've been without a Demon King for so long, order in the Netherworld is slowly crumbling. We have and . It's about time we make one of them the Demon King and have them take control of the Netherworld." "I'm all for Belial-sama." Said Amaymon, "He's super sharp." "No, it should be Levi-sama." Objected Astroh, "Her wisdom and leadership are far greater." "But you need to be conniving as a Demon King, too." Said Amaymon. "Nah, Sullivan-sama would be the one who heals us all." Said Paimon. "It's true that Sullivan-sama is skilled..." Agreed Astroh. "But he's not a yet." Added Amaymon, "Besides, it's not healing that we need." "Nah, but it was mentioned in the Demon King Prophect Scroll." Said Paimon, "" "" Continued Henri.
Then, a blond demon crossed his legs on the long table and said: "You guys are all stupid. After all that whining, you're just gonna rely on a prophecy? It's not like these little ripples are going to have any effect on the Netherworld."
This demon is the . He received an SMS on his hellphone and he smiled as he sent a reply. He arrogent behavior irked Amaymon. "You've got some nerve for a brat who barely shows up to these meetings!" Scolded Amaymon. "Meetings? Don't you mean whining competitions, old man?" Mocked Baal. Hearing this made Amaymon tense up, ready for a fight. "" Challenged the wolf-like demon. "Oh, shut up. What? You want to start something?" Mocked Baal again. Henri's hellphone rang and he somehow received a photo of Ryūko and Iruma. How could've sent him that photo?
At the same time, the arguement between the Lord of Four Corners and the Thunder Lord escalated into a fight. "And there they go again." Said Astroh getting away for the table, along with Paimon. "They always gotta get so darn messy." Said the gothic demon, dodging a chair. "Pardon me, may I make a work call?" Asked Henri holding his hellphone. "Yes, we should probably take a break." Said Belzebuth. Though the meeting has only begun, he seems to be exhausted, "I truly hope we can settle on a Demon King today..."
On the 666th floor, there sat and . They were holding a meeting among themselves, as well. The aura surrounding them seems to be intense.
"Let's settle this once and for all." Said Belial. "Of course. Let us begin." Replied Lady Levi. You think they were going to discuss about who's going to be the Demon King at this time, but no, not now. The two of them slammed photos and other items from their grandsons on the table. "" Declared Belial, "" "" Declared Lady Levi, "" "He may be smart, but his personality is twisted!" Attacked Belial verbally. "You're the last person I want want to hear talk about a twisted personality!" Hissed Lady Levi.

Remember what Sullivan said to Ryūko and Iruma back when they first met in ? You probably get the idea; Sullivan wasn't wrong about them bragging about their grandchildren. It's no suprise that Sullivan was so jealous of them when they brag about their grandchildren.
"Okay, you get to be the judge today, as usual, Sully............. " Belial was waiting for Sullivan to respond to who has the better grandchild, but Sullivan chuckled before he said to them: "I'm not the same demon I used to be." He then showed them a photograph of Ryūko and Iruma, " I have grandchildren now, too!" Well, Belial and Lady Levi certainly didn't expect that twist to come in. "W-Wait a second!" Said Belial, "You don't even have a child! How can you have grandchildren?" "How did you skip over that and get a grandchild?" Asked Lady Levi, "What happened in between there?!" "Oh, I used a little lifehack." Said Sullivan.
He then took out various pictures of Ryūko and Iruma to showcase to his friends. "Oh, they're cuties." Said Lady Levi. "" Asked Sullivan, "Aren't they the cutest?" "But they don't look all like you." Said Belial. "You didn't kidnap them, didn't you?" Asked Lady Levi. "No comment." Said Sullivan. Now without a judge to decide who's grandchild is the better one/ones, Levi suggested summoning Belzebuth to help them decide. Unfortunately, the fight between Amaymon and Baal was still ongoing, so that's a no. "They seem pretty busy." Said Sullivan. "I'm sure they're just agruing about the absence of the Demon King again." Said Belial. "They sure are lively." Commented Lady Levi.
Then, they all sat down at the table and Sullivan asked should they decide on a Demon King at this moment. "If we're gonna decide with cards, sure!" Said Belial. "No way! You always cheat, Beli-yan!" Objected Sullivan. As Lady Levi poured herself a glass of wine, she said to the males: "Oh, who cares how you decide? Just decide already." "Hey, why'd you weasel yourself out of this decision?!" Questioned Belial. "Well, age holds superiority in these matters, doesn't it?" Said Lady Levi, "As a youth, I humbly remove myself from this decision." That was some really good wisdom, but Belial and Sullivan seem to disagree with that. "" Questioned Belial, "" "" Commented Sullivan. That was a really bad decision, because their unneccesary comments earned them a beating from the female demon. "Men should be in charge of such matters." Said Lady Levi, "It's quite audacious of you to force the position of the Demon King upon me when I'm two years younger."
Once they were all seated again, Levi said that her choice of Demon King should be Sullivan. He was taken a little aback by this. "You're more than skilled enough." Said Lady Levi, "Quit holding back and become a Yodh (10) already." "I'd feel at ease if you were the boss, too, Sully." Said Belial, "What do you say, Sully?" Sullivan now had a wistful expression painted on his face as he said: "I have grandchildren for the first time, and I'm spoiling the hell out of them. I take my eye of them for a second, they've grown so much. Truly... It's so much fun watching kids grow up. I have no intention in giving up being the Chair-demon." "I see. I guess it would be harder now that you have grandchildren." Said Belial. "The Demon King's going to remain absent for now." Said Lady Levi, "Let's wrap this up." "Okay, I'm going back to my beloved Ryūko-chan and Iruma-kun!" Cheered Sullivan joyfully. They heard someone knock on the door and Lady Levi gave the permission for who's behind the door to enter the room.
The ones who came in were Henri and his colleagues. "Please forgive our intrusion." Said Henri. "Henri-kun." Greeted Sullivan as he walked to him. "Sullivan-sama, thank you for looking after my daughter at school." Said Henri. As mentioned earlier, it turns out that Henri is really Ameri's father. "Oh, it's nothing." Said Sullivan. "However..." Henri then showed Sullivan a warrant, "You've been accused of illegally crossing into the human world. Please accompany me to the station." "Oho, is that actually a warrant?" Asked Sullivan. "Yes, Sir. It's a warrant." Replied Henri. "Why, though?" Asked Sullivan. While they have a calm argument, Belial and Lady Levi were left with questioned expression as Belial asked the female demon what the heck was Sullivan doing.
Iruma suddenly gasped while Ryūko's eyes widened, almost as if something was wrong, but this isn't about their grandfather. In fact...
"Opera-san! Dinner's really delicious today!" Complimented Iruma. "Never too wrong from agreeing with Iruma." Said Ryūko serenely and regally, "Admittingly, the change of the course has a touch of flavor added into it. The way that particular change melts in my mouth is really intriguing, but such a satisfying motion. Did you do something new to it? Overall, tonight's dinner has a brilliant aroma and is delectable. I am always grateful for what you have done for us, Opera." "Thank you very much." Replied Opera, happy to hear such compliments, though Ryūko's way of commenting is rather refined and detailed. And so, Ryūko and Iruma enjoyed dinner, unaware of Sullivan arrested and put in jail.

"Having a grandson is pure joy, but I also imagine, having a would be just as wonderful!" Fawned Lady Levi while she looked at the photos of Ryūko. "I agree. You really lucked us out, Sully!" Said Belial in argeement, "Having both a grandson and a granddaughter!" Sullivan laughed as he sheepishly scratched the back of his head. "So, what is she like? A beautiful lady with a hint of gothic elegance?" Asked Levi. "And what does she like doing the most?" Added Belial.

And from this tome, manifested the ghost of a dead sorceress who made a home in his mind. And so began his journey in becoming a legendary mage; and also a royal pain in the ass. NB: Just a side project made purely for fun! HIGHLY EXPERIMENTAL. NO PLOT! Well, maybe a little plot. Okay, it has more plot than I first intended for it to have.

8 211Primordial Origins
All the power in the universe, amounts to shit when you've fucked up, and there's no way to undo what has already happened. Even if your the creator of the fucking universe and all its laws and whatnot, those below you must conform to the natural laws that bind them. Even when you want to say 'fuck you' to such laws and break them, you can't because that is how you made the universe and those below you must follow it or they cease to exist in it.I'm tired of having things taken from me because of my mistakes. I've only wanted to live with those I love, but somehow in the universe I created, it decides to fuck me over. I only hope that this time it goes better. Everything seems to be going swell at the moment, but I just can't shake off that feeling that I'm about to get fucked over by myself. I hope when I get the chance to start anew amongst others, everything goes well. _____________________________________________________________________________________________Hello, this is my first time attempting to write an original story on Royal Road. I hope you'll enjoy the story as much as I will while writing it. Sorry for any plot holes/ plot armor/ cliche shit because it happens. Anyway there will definitely be foul language and probably some mature scenes, sexual or not. No idea what the release timings will be. Probably whenever I finish a chapter or two and attempted to proofread them.
