It was very early in the morning, two young people were walking through the busy streets of the city to their respective school.
The first of the two was a tall one, with gray hair, brown eyes and was in the last year of Middle School.
The second was shorter in stature, with green hair, crimson eyes, and was in his second year of High School.
It was common to walk every morning to school, sometimes they walked with a classmate of theirs, Sasaki Chiho.
She was Maou's partner from her first year of Secondary, she gets along very well with Maou and Ashiya.
- See you later, Maou - Ashiya had said before he left for his living room.
-Yes, see you later,- he had answered.
- Send my regards to Sasaki-San - He had said shortly after.
Maou answered him with a gesture and went red to his own living room. There were a few of his companions, which he greeted to then sit in his place, lately he felt that something was going to happen and that exhausted him in a certain way.
- Good morning, Maou-San - He heard himself next to the PeliVerde.
- Hum? Ah, good morning Chi-Chan - Maou greeted with a smile. - Ashiya also greets you.
- I see, then later I will thank you for your greetings. - The girl smiled as she sat in the seat next to the green-haired one. - Hey, Maou-San It seems that today a new girl comes to our living room.
- Ah? Seriously? —I ask Maou without importance. - What's wrong with a new partner?
-S-She may be very attractive and w-well ... Very nice,- he said as a blush appeared on his face.
- That would be nice, wouldn't it? - He said without understanding what the Sasaki was referring to.
- This is going wrong. What if Maou-San falls for her ?! Are they going to be dating ?! They will get married?! Will they have many children ?! Would they be a very happy family ?! What will I do? What will I do? - Chiho thought as millions of images went through his head. Making the boy next to her worry about the expression on her face, one that looked like the girl would collapse at any second.
- Chi-Chan? - Maou said touching the girl's shoulder.
- Kyaaaa! - She shouted in response. Managing to scare Maou a little.
Chiho, on edge of nerves, took Maou by the collar of his clothes and began to move him back and forth in an exaggerated way while saying -Tell me it won't be like this- many times.
- W-What are you talking about ?! - The boy answered as he could, Chiho might seem like a very calm girl and everything (which is so) but she had a side that she could not understand. - C-Chi-Chan!
Everyone in the room looked at them, for them it was not difficult to understand what was happening to the Sasaki, more than anything it was VERY Obvious. But we were talking about Sadao Maou, a pretty smart boy when it came to studies, all good with that. The problem was that he was very "slow" when it came to romance, a fool in a nutshell.
Nothing new for them, some admired Maou for his studies and sometimes they felt a little inferior, but when it was romance they felt much superior to him. So much so that sometimes they couldn't bear to laugh because of how stupid their beloved partner could become.
- Go to their places - She heard the teacher in charge of her classroom, Mayumi Kisaki say.
Quickly all the students began to put themselves in their places, although Chiho had not yet released poor Maou.
-Sasaki, you can release your partner before he loses consciousness,- asked the Master in a clear and bossy voice.
- Huh? Wha! Sorry Maou-San! - I apologize totally sorry.
Kisaki let out a sigh, then stood firm before his students.
- Say hello! - The Class Delegate said, making the whole group. - Sit down!
- Thank you very much, Suzuki-Chan - Thanked the teacher, getting a smile from the name in response. - Good. Today we start with a new section of the past subject, but also a new classmate to accompany you during this school period. Please come in.
The sound of the sliding door opening was heard showing a girl with long reddish hair, light green eyes, white skin and wearing the corresponding school uniform.
The Students looked at her closely, except for one who still saw little stars and paid no attention to what was happening around her.
- She came from the United States yesterday after 7 years of living there, I hope they treat her well. Now introduce yourself - Kisaki had said, telling the girl that it was now his turn to speak.
"Good morning everyone. My name is Yusa Emi and I hope we get along well with each other." The Girl smiled, managing to attract the attention of all the men in the room. Some gawked, others looking at her with interest and one who was shocked.
- "Did Yusa Emi say?! ... Oh no ... Of all the places in the world and it had to be in the same school as me and to beach in the same classroom" - Thought the boy with green hair desperately as he hid behind one of his textbooks.
- You can sit in an empty place next to Ma-Kun - Kisaki pointed towards the empty place.
- "I'm dead" - Maou thought, hiding his face more behind the book.
- Please Ma-Kun get up - her teacher asked kindly.
I had no choice.
He got up, but did not stop hiding his face behind the book. Which I draw attention to the rest of the room.
- Ma-Kun? You could remove the book from your face - the Master asked somewhat surprised by the attitude of her student.
He heard a sigh behind the book and lowered it, revealing his own face and without further ado he said to his new partner:
"Hi Emi, how long without seeing you," he said with a slightly forced smile.
- Maou? - I ask. now it was her turn to be surprised.
- Do you already know each other? - Kisaki asked calmly and with a certain tone of surprise.
- Unfortunately yes - Said the girl with Green eyes.
Murmurs began to be heard throughout the room. Between the murmurs you could hear "An ex-partner?" "Apparently yes", which Chiho had as a stone.
- Silence! Yusa-Chan takes a seat next to Ma-Kun. "She already asked a little angry.
Both boys looked at each other for a moment and then without saying anything they obeyed their tutor.
The class had passed normally, although it could not be avoided that suddenly there were tense moments inside that room, where only two people participated.
Some time later the class ended giving the break started. Maou sat in his place doing nothing next to a very nervous Chiho who also said nothing, she felt very uncomfortable.
- Maou! - He was heard behind the boy with Green hair, he was one of his classmates.
- What's going on? - Maou asked looking at the boy with brown hair.
- You know I'm very curious, right? - He asked something that got a positive response from the PeliVerde. - Well and as you know that I would like you to answer me, what relationship do you have with Yusa-Chan? And I think I'm not the only one that interests you, right, Chi-Chan?
"Why do you ask that?" I ask back. "Are you interested in her?"
"I'm curious," he replied.
- He advised you not to get too close to her ... Or you will suffer serious consequences. - He said as a warning.
- "Ma-Maou-San ?!" - Chiho thought upon hearing such an answer.
- huh? Was that jealousy? —I ask the amused Chestnut.
"No. It's just that Emi is a black belt in Karate and in other fighting styles," he said with a sigh. "So I tell you that any mistake would cost you a good beating."
Both Sasaki and her partner were frozen, a girl as cute as she was and was an expert in hand-to-hand battle.
- Interesting! Interesting! .— The chestnut laughed.
- Maou-San Aren't you also a black ribbon? -. Chiho asked, recalling one of her conversations with the GreenHair.
- Ah? Yes, "the boy stated." She and I went to the same workshops as children.
- S-Small? Chiho asked, about to drop a sea of questions.
- yeah. Emi and I have known each other since we were babies. - He replied simply. - My parents, Emi's and Ashiya's were friends from elementary school so it is normal for us to know each other.
"So they weren't an Ex-Couple?" Asked the Chestnut.
- Ah? What are you talking about Masaru? - I ask him as if he had said something that went against the laws of Nature. - Of course not. Who would want to be the boyfriend of that stressful girl?
- What stressful Girl? You should see yourself first before commenting on other people. "He heard himself behind them.
"Who are you saying stressful?!" The GreenHeld exploded against the girl with long reddish hair who was standing behind him.
- You started! - Shouted Emi.
- The only stressful in this place is you! Maou told him, starting a screaming fight.
Both Masaru and Chiho stared at them as if they saw a fight between two aliens.
"They look like just married." A fifth voice mentioned on the spot.
- Suzuki-San - Said the chestnut tree looking at the new arrival. - Was he with Yusa-Chan?
"Yes, I was showing him the school." The Girl smiled with pride. - I have to fulfill my role as Delegate so as soon as I rang the bell I showed Emi school.
- Oh? Apparently they became friends. "He smiled back at the brunette." I'm so glad.
- She's a good girl.
The two continued talking for a while, while Sasaki looked worried at the scene where he already saw that this was going to end badly. But as if a savior had come from heaven, Maou's friend Ashiya Shiro had arrived in the room. That apparently he had heard the scandal and came to see what was happening.
- Emi? - Asked the newcomer.
- hug? - The girl let out when she heard her name. - Ashiya? How long without seeing you!
- Yes, I say the same - Ashiya said in greeting. - I did not think I would see you again until next year, apparently You and Maou ended up in the same room.
"Unfortunately yes." Emi sighed.
"We agree on something," Maou said crossing his arms.
"Well, they'll have to get used to it," Ashiya said, speaking to both of them. "Emi will stay with us again from today."
- Huh ?! -. They both exclaimed together with Chiho.
"Will I have to live again under the same roof as this crazy woman?!" Maou exclaimed while pointing at the Redhead.
- Sorry?! Just so you know I'm not crazy! "Emi corrected her loudly. A new fight had been put together in less than 5 minutes.
- Do you want my mother to see you fight and lock you up like when you were little? Ashiya asked loud enough for the two of them to listen. Making both of them shut up immediately.
"They've overpowered a couple of beasts." Masaru joked. "I never thought you'd lose your composure like that for a Girl, Maou."
- It drives me out of my mind. - Maou sighed.
"Anyway," Ashiya told him. "Today we are going to talk about an agreement that our parents made, so we will go home before the end of the day."
"Okay?" They both asked at the same time.
- Don't you remember? Well they were 3 years old when that happened, I doubt they will remember. - Ashiya said leaving that room.
"What are you talking about Ashiya?" Emi asked doubtfully this time.
"Wait until we get Home." Ashiya finished and then disappeared down the hall.
"Family agreement?" Rika laughed mysteriously. "Hey, hey Emi. This sounds like the stories that appear in the books."
"What do you mean?" Now she didn't understand her new friend.
- You know. A marriage agreement. - He said obviously.
- Huh ?! No! No! No! Impossible! "He denied immediately." You're reading a lot!
"If that were true ... I would never marry someone like her!" Maou said.
"I see we agree on something else," Emi told him.
- S-Stop fighting Maou-San, Yusa-San! - Chiho asked, He did not want to hear of a supposed Marriage or one more fight.
"C-Chi-Chan?" He asked surprised.
- You are? - Emi asked.
"I'm Sasaki Chiho." He introduced himself.
"Um ... are you in love with Maou?" He asked without hesitation.
- Huh ?! No! No! It is not what you are thinking! M-Me and Maou-San have been friends from the previous year! "She began to desperately deny the Sasaki.
"She's not good at lying ..." Emi thought. "Sorry." He thought you were right .. It is impossible for someone to fall in love with this Idiot.
- Sorry?! .— Maou shouted offended.
- What you heard. -
"You are too annoying." Maou sighed.
During the hours they both stayed at school, both Maou and Emi relied on fighting and competition. But even if they passed like this there was no winner.
- Ma-Kun, Yusa-Chan can go. Their tutor has called me and asked me to let them out early, "said Kisaki once he had entered the room for the penultimate period of the day.
Both boys got up from their places, packed their things and said goodbye to their teacher, leaving the room.
Once outside they saw an ash-haired woman waiting patiently next to Ashiya.
- Maou! Emi! - Said the woman before hugging the mentioned. - Come on we have to go! Today I will be able to inform you of the agreement.
- Agreement? What agreement? "Emi asked without understanding.
- How about "What an agreement"? You put the one of your Marriage. - The Woman said calmly.
- Huh ?! - They both exclaimed.
- Rika was right! - Emi thought horrified.
"What the hell is Suzuki Rika eating to hit everything he says ?!" Maou thought just as horrified.
