Okay. I am very sorry for the late update. But I've written it on my biography so I expect you to already be prepared to wait longer ;3
Anyway, this is a thank you for you who have waited long enough.
Behold, my readers! This is the sixth chapter which I have been working day and night on! (lies, I actually only began it yesterday)
This chapter also serves as a Valentine special so it's Valentine-themed. And no, this isn't filler. And this is only the first part. I will post the second part tomorrow. Hopefully.

The cool night breeze slipped inside the room through the slightly-opened window.
She was lying on the overly-familiar bed—the bed full of his scent. Her golden locks spread upon the bed sheets. Only the necessary amount of skin was concealed by the cover. Sweat trickled down her forehead.
He was towering on top of her, however, his mouth made its way to her exposed neck, licking and sucking it while occasionally biting it gently. Afterward, he spent some time admiring the red mark he just made on her milky white skin. This was the proof, the mark that made her his.
No, they weren't in love.
That alone, they were certain.

Lesson 6: Never Ignore Aphrodite's Recommendation
X X X
Lamia examined the box in her hand as she walked through the aisle in the castle, making her way to Angelica's place, to visit the Human World.
The Great Demon Lord had asked her to deliver the package to Oga and Hilda in secret, meaning no one else should know about this. Curiously, she shook the small red box in her hands, trying to listen to the sound, at least, to guess what the content was. The Demon Lord had also told her that this thing would accelerate the progress of Oga and Hilda's relationship, and it really bothered her. If they really made progress, what would she do?
Shaking the box was seemingly pointless so Lamia ceased her attempt.
There were three letters printed on the box:
" A L P "
What could that possibly stand for?
As they say, curiosity kills the cat. Lamia felt her curiosity was slowly killing her and she was desperately trying to guess what the content of the box was, but she didn't dare to go against the Demon Lord's order.
She sighed.
Guess she'll just see it when Hilda had opened it.
His dark eyes met her emerald ones.
Their faces were merely inches from each other's, enabling them to feel each other's breathes.
After a moment of silence, Oga finally parted his lips, "I think I'm in love with you…"
Hilda was quiet.
She wasn't surprised, nor was she annoyed by his sudden confession. She felt nothing when he pushed her to the corner and pressed his larger body against hers.
Pissed by the moment of no response, Oga parted his lips in exasperation but before he could say anything, Furuichi interrupted.
"—Cut!"
In a blink of an eye, Oga and Hilda were now away from each other.
"Hilda-san, you need to look at least a little surprised! Come on. How do you usually respond when someone confesses his love to you?" the silver-haired teen whined as he walked toward the couple. For some shitty reason, people chose him as a director instead of a helper.
Hilda glared daggers at him, "Without doubt, I shall slice the life out of him." She answered with so much confidence as she brought her pink parasol up.
Furuichi shuddered a bit.
"Alright guys, you can take your break now." Aoi clapped her hands, signaling the people to take a break.
It was Valentine's Day tomorrow and they were forced to present a show representating their class for the Valentine's Day event or their class would be banned from St. Ishiyama for eternity. The class suddenly came up with this short drama where the main protagonist fell in love with the girl who had practically deceived his entire family into welcoming her in. The drama sounded scarily familiar to Oga's real life it horrified him in many ways.
But for Oga himself, there were drastic difference in this story compared to his life. It was the fact that the main protagonist fell in love with the girl.
He certainly didn't fall in love with the Demon by all odds.
Oga tried to decline his role, and while at it, Hilda's, too. But what was his opinion compared to the whole class'? Furuichi and Aoi seemed to be rooting for them, too. Just when he thought that those two could be the ones to help him out of this trouble.
"Good work today, Oga, Hilda." Aoi smiled at them.
Hilda merely nodded quietly and asked Furuichi to bring her some drink.
Oga read the script over again and arched a brow at it. "How could this main protagonist fall in love with the girl so damn quick? This is not logic!" he tried to protest, the thing he had repeated relentlessly since he was chosen as the main protagonist.
"Did you even read the script until the end, Oga?" Aoi rolled her eyes and sighed.
"Sorry, page six is my limit."
"Sheesh… Look, the girl ran away from her mansion in order to avoid getting betrothed to a man she despised. Then she met the main protagonist and he took her in out of sympathy. Unexpectedly, the girl deceived the whole family into thinking that she was the main protagonist's lover-in-secret. It was revealed that she's actually a daughter of demon. However, under Goddess Aphrodite's blessing, they fell in love with each other."
"It's so confusing. And who's this afro dude who came out of nowhere and magically made the two fell in love with each other? It's so unreal, mind you!"
"It's Aphrodite! The Goddess of Love! Anyway, be quiet, Oga. Whatever you say won't save you from your role."
The delinquent groaned and propped against the nearest chair before reading the script over again. It wasn't easy to memorize all the cheesy lines the main protagonist expressed to the girl, especially when he's reminded that Hilda would be the one to portray that girl. He meant, it was as difficult as passing exams with an all-A. Well, you know what I mean.
Hilda was sitting somewhere near the window while sipping on the carton milk Furuichi bought her just now. Somehow the sight of her drinking human drinks like that brought a funny feeling to him.
Oh! And if you're wondering how the two could be separated from each other for more than one meter, it was because Lamia informed them that they were granted a day free of the DYI rules, though they still couldn't take it off, but they could do anything without unnecessarily getting shocked.
A moment later, Yuka's loud voice could be heard right outside the class.
"Lami-tan, you're visiting? Kyaa!"
Everyone could guess that Lamia was coming and that the delinquent girl was squeezing the life out of her using her human-or-even-demon-killing hug.
"Get off me! I'm here to deliver something to Oga and Hilda nee-sama!" she struggled.
As if on cue, Hilda stood up from her seat and approached the door, opening it, just to meet Lamia who's hugged or maybe choked by Yuka. The blonde told Yuka to stop and the girl did as she was told. Lamia then hand the box to Hilda, informing that it was a package from the Demon Lord.
"ALP? What might this be?" Hilda asked. Out of nowhere, Oga appeared behind her, examining the box over her shoulder, resting his chin on it. Neither of them seemed bothered about it but the crowds around them had started to murmur.
Seemingly oblivious of the murmurs, Hilda opened the velvet box.
Inside, there was a small bottle of overly-suspicious pink liquid. There was a red heart on the bottle's body.
Oga arched an eyebrow, while the other two females seemed to have figured out what the small object was.
Lamia's eyes were wide, "Th-that's… Aphrodite's…" she stuttered.
"Love potion." Hilda finished calmly.
"What's that? Afro-whatshit again?" Oga rolled his eyes, emphasizing the 'again'.
The blonde took the bottle out and her lips formed a demonic smirk, totally ignoring the delinquent's question. "It seems that the Great Demon Lord wouldn't let us have one DYI-free day without any hindrance. I expect no less from my Lord." She closed her eye in content.
"What are you being so happy for, huh? Don't count me in. I'm not drinking that stuff! I bet that crazy Lord of yours is just having fun with sticking us together!"
"Don't you dare oppose the Lord's command, Oga."
"What? You're saying that you want to do what he commanded whole-heartedly?"
"I don't mind. Don't you think you are being a little limb lately? You couldn't even accept this kind of challenge?" she smirked. God, she just knew how to make him do what she wanted.
Oga's lips formed his signature demonic grin, "Now you've said it. Let's accept that challenge, then!"
"Hoo?" Hilda smirked. "We shall consume it after we get home, then."
"Bring it on!"
Unbeknownst of them, Lamia bit her lip nervously. 'For the love of God, this can't be happening. Is the Demon Lord really serious about this?!' she mentally panicked.
The rest of the day, they practiced the play with massive amount of cursing and arguing. The play's main flaw would be Oga's lack of memorized lines and Hilda's lack of expression. Most of them weren't sure if they could pull it off by tomorrow. With the condition of the two main players like this, it wasn't impossible if their play would be a wreck tomorrow.
Hilda was lying on the couch with Oga towering her. His eyes bored deep into hers. Silence overwhelmed them. Baby Beel innocently looked at the two from the living table, somehow feeling excited by the scene.
"I don't care if this feeling is merely the doing of Goddess Aphrodite. I just want you by my side…" Oga murmured.
Instead of answering him, the blonde looked aside at her Master and her brow knitted.
"Oga, can you do this out of Young Master's sight?" she commented dryly before pushing him by his chest and brought herself up.
"Fuck! I can't believe I managed that disgusting cheesy line just now!" Oga messed his hair in frustration.
"This is too indecent for the Master to see. Let us do this somewhere else after he is asleep. We won't get any payment even if we perform well anyway. This whole drama thing is nonsense and full of indecent scenes!" She kept whining as she carried the baby in her arms and went to the kitchen.
Oga threw himself on the couch and turned the TV on.
"Look, I don't even like this crap. But if we don't perform it well we'll never heard the end of it from Kunieda and that creep Furuichi."
Hilda didn't answer.
Getting tired of changing the channel and found nothing interesting to watch, Oga turned it off, throwing the remote on the table and began walking away. "I'll be waiting upstairs." He couldn't believe he finally had the chance to say this again. It had only been three days of being bound together with Hilda but it seemed like forever already.
You couldn't believe how suck it felt to be unable to have even one second of privacy in your life. Please imagine it, folks.
"Wait, Oga." Hilda called. The delinquent turned, only to have the blonde shoved the small bottle on his face. "Drink it." It sounded more like a command than a demand.
"I told you I'm not drinking it," his eyes narrowed warily at the suspicious bottle of liquid.
"No, you didn't."
"Oh, yes I did."
"You said you accepted the challenge."
"Did I?" Oga feigned ignorance.
"I guarantee it won't kill you."
"Of course it won't! What's that?! It's like you had an intention to kill me!"
"Shut up, gutter-trash, you're being too paranoid. I shall drink it after you to prove that it's safe."
"Liar! I swear you won't drink it! I bet it'll make us do more stupid things! Believe me Hilda, I'm an expert in this."
"Nonsense! I am quite sure that this potion is safe."
"FYI, Hilda, quite sure doesn't convince me! Hadn't your mama taught you not to be so wishy-washy?!"
"What is that? Do not use improper words on me, unruly brat." She rolled her eyes and growled in exasperation, "Alright. Let me take it first. Promise me you will take it after me," her eyes glared daggers at him.
"Sure, why not?" he grinned idiotically.
Hilda made a hissing sound before she gulped a small amount of the pink liquid. At first, it tasted sweet and had strawberry scent. Nothing seemed wrong with it the first ten seconds after consuming it. But the next second, Hilda felt her body burned with heat matching hell's fire itself.
She fell on her knee but still tried to support her Master's weight. Though, having been surprised by the condition of his wet nurse, Baby Beel stopped sucking his milk and jumped off Hilda's arms.
"O-oi, Hilda, something wrong?" Oga asked nervously.
"Of course there is something wrong, you incompetent piece of shit!" Hilda snapped despite her condition. She forcefully pulled him down, as if trying to make him feel her pain, "This thing is burning me!"
"I told you I'm an expert in this!"
"It is irrelevant to me! Drink it! I do not want to be the only want to bear with this unnecessary pain!"
"What?! Are you kidding me?! I've been suspicious about that thing since the very start. It's your own fault for being so damn stupid!"
"You promised! I'm so going to haunt you if you let me die like this!"
"Well, that's—Argh! Let me see the box! There may be instructions there!" he said before rushing to the kitchen to read the box. And right, there was a small piece of paper inside, though the content made Oga wanted to rip it.
The content went like this:
If drank alone might cause considerable amount of heat and if left untreated might cause horrible DEATH.
Be sure to drink it together.
Do it mouth to mouth! *heart* (Recommended by Momma Aphrodite)
-Love, your greatest Demon Lord ever
P.S. I went through all the trouble of asking this from Aphrodite so you better thank me later, Ogre-chan!
Oga crumpled the paper and threw it to the dustbin, cursing in process.
He definitely didn't want to fall into the random Lord's trick again but he simply couldn't ignore the word 'death' on the note, which was unnecessarily written in caps lock. The Demon Lord might be crazy but he was sure that he didn't lie about the death part. Now, he couldn't possibly leave Hilda to death like that. Well, why not have Beel drink it mouth-to-mouth with her, then? She would definitely love that!
But it's not likely for Beel to be able to do that.
Curse brainworks! He's not good in thinking anyway! He's not the master of thinking, but he's good at doing things. Might as well do it quickly rather than postponing this continuously. And hey, this might be better than it appeared to be!
Screw positive thinkings! He's also not good at that…
Discarding all his dignity and humbleness, Oga gulped and convinced himself again and again that he really needed to do this. Hilda's life depended on this.
The blonde was already lying on the floor, breathing hard and face red because of heat. Sweat trickled down her forehead and thighs. Baby Beel beside her, looking all concerned. He was making cute whimpering sounds.
Oga gulped one last time before opening the bottle's cap and pouring the pink liquid into his mouth.
He inched closer to the blonde and could already feel her hot breaths against his face. Thank Goodness she wasn't conscious, or he was sure she would ascertain that he wouldn't be seeing any sunrise ever again. Slowly, he closed the distance between them.
As if on cue, Baby Beel adorably put his hands on his eyes, convincing his Father that he didn't see a thing.
Carefully, Oga used his tongue to part her lips and insert the liquid in her mouth—Holy cow, this is so damn perverted! He couldn't believe he did this!
But he felt relieved when her breaths became steady not too long after he did it. Thank goodness it worked.
He parted away from her, breathing quite hard himself after the lack of oxygen.
Baby Beel removed his hands from his eyes and cheered.
"Shut up!" he snapped.
The baby waved his hand at him as if telling him not to be shy.
"I'm not, dammit!"
Beel laughed and left the room.
Still a little pissed, Oga looked at the now empty bottle—the cause of the improper act he did just now—before throwing it away. What was that thing for anyway? He didn't feel any different from before.
He carried Hilda to his room.
The whole castle echoed with the Great Demon Lord's laughter.
"Did you see how that Oga kid's face seemed so stupid?! He's definitely a virgin! And there's no doubt that's his first kiss!" the Lord slapped the chair's armrest so hard it almost fell off.
Lamia who stood beside him was extremely bothered by the fact that Oga just kissed her Hilda nee-sama without even asking for permission. Not like he had a chance to anyway, but it just bothered her too much!
"…My Lord, don't you think it is too much even for them? I mean, first kiss is a serious matter. Hilda nee-sama never kissed another man, too. And I am sure that she did not want her first to be with Oga…" her voice trailed off. She knew that her Hilda nee-sama had taken interests in that human contracter of her master. But… would she really accept it if she was conscious that time?
Maybe it was her who had stood in their way this whole time.
Maybe they actually like each other.
Lamia suddenly found the floor interesting.
Suddenly she felt weight on her head, something warm and big. She looked up and saw the Demon Lord patting her head. Her cheeks felt warm at the sight of the Lord she respect smiled at her.
"I'm just helping them realize their own feelings, Lamia dear. I won't force them if they really don't find each other attractive. It's because I know that I tried all these attempts. You should already know by now, too…" he looked at the huge screen displaying Oga lied Hilda down on his bed and tucking the blanket under her chin.
Oga didn't smile warmly at her, he just stared at her.
Somehow the look in his eyes said everything.
"…that Oga kid is madly in love with our Hilda. And I am sure, Hilda feels the same."
Lamia didn't want t let go of Hilda, yet. But she tried her hard to think that this was for the best. Hilda was happy with Oga, something she never experienced around another man.
The petite girl inhaled deeply, calming herself down.
She smiled at the Demon Lord, "Yes, you are right, my Lord!"
"Glad you understand." He grinned.
Oh well, who cares if the Demon Lord's words were actually only made-up because he didn't want Lamia to be in the way to his source of entertainment?
Hilda's eyes fluttered open.
She woke up in the dark room. It was already evening, she could guess from the color of the sky.
Slowly, she went into sitting position.
Someone opened the door and she turned to see the person. It was Oga, carrying a tray of food for her, probably because Mrs. Oga and Misaki asked him to.
"Hey," he muttered with a grin. "Feeling better?" he asked, placing the tray on the table.
She nodded quietly.
"…Say, Oga, did something happen to me?" her voice was low and quiet. "I feel sleep-deprived… no… I feel lifeless…"
She was right. Her single eye was half-lidded. It was as if she hadn't been eating for days and didn't have any energy left to keep her eyes open.
"You're hungry." Oga decided.
She looked at him, "I guess you're right…"
"Want me to feed you or something? You don't look like you can even hold a spoon."
"Yes…" she nodded. "I am sorry you have to help me like this…"
"No worries. Anyway, don't apologize, it's so unlike you." He took the warm soup from the tray and scooped a spoonful of it. He cooled it down before feeding it to her.
After swallowing the food, she smirked, "You are unexpectedly caring when someone is feeling unwell, Oga."
"Don't tease me now." Oga hissed.
She chuckled before she slipped off the bed and stood in front of him. He arched a questioning brow at her just a second before she suddenly stripped in front of her, leaving her only in her underwear. He couldn't help but to take a peek at them. They were erratically black and lacy.
She started to unclip her bra and his eyes widened before he put away the bowl of soup and tried to stop her from doing anything to embarrass herself even further.
"Snap out of it, Hilda! What happened to you, woman?!" he shouted at her.
Her single eye was still half-lidded, as if she was drunk.
'Could it be because of that Afro potion this afternoon?' he mentally guessed, taking a look at Hilda's blonde hair. 'No-no-no, her hair isn't getting any curly. Afro's out of option.'
We could say Oga just couldn't remember the potion's name. Please, readers. Don't look at him as if he's the biggest idiot in this world. Spare him.
Five seconds later, Oga could feel something snapped in his head. Following it, he felt his consciousness drifting away… But he swore, just before his consciousness faded completely, he could see his hands unclipping the bra he tried to protect just now…
~To be continued~
Let's hope I can finish the second part by tomorrow, guys!
Anyway, please leave reviews. It will really please me and it will push me into writing faster ;)
