"I'm so sorry, Mika."

"Don't be. It's not your fault that she's horny."

Chuckling meekly at Mika's assurance, Shino found himself speeding up as he did his best to get away from his little friend. Well, he wasn't trying to get away from Mika, at least.

No, he was trying to get away from Modeus, who was quite literally hovering behind the young man with a lustful gaze as she held her hands up in a suggestive manner. Mika himself could feel her gaze burning into the back of his skull as she tailed him, though he didn't acknowledge it much more than that as he continued on.

"Why the Hell is she even like that…?" asked Akihiro as Shino shrugged and moved to walk behind their guide, Pandemonica, who continued on leading the way with little regard to how Augus was doing. The blue eyed pilot was lagging behind thanks to Modeus, and though they wished to help him, neither Akihiro nor Shino were brave enough to do it.

Such concentrated horniness was a little too hard to combat, after all…

"Modeus. The definition of lust," explained Pandemonica with a deadpanned tone of voice. Shino, Akihiro and Mikazuki all perked up at that with interest, though they said nothing as they listened, though in the latter's case, he wasn't able to concentrate too much thanks to the demon in question quite literally breathing down his neck, much to his displeasure. "Know that all demons are, in one way or another, manifestations and constructs of all that is sinful…"

"Wait, wanting coffee is sinful?" asked Akihiro, genuinely curious as he rubbed his chin.

"No, but what comes after tends to be," clarified Pandemonica, with her giving the buff dude a sideways glance as she spoke. Her gaze was sharp enough to make Atland shudder a tad as he nodded. "But regardless, most lesser demons tend to be manifestations of lesser sins. Pride, Wrath, Sloth, etc. Modeus herself is the literal embodiment of Lust. While there are, indeed, other demons that represent that sin… Modeus herself is in a league of her own."

"Do you have an example of how?" asked Shino out of morbid curiosity, only for Pandemonica to prop her glasses up and point towards the southern point of Hell.

"Over there is where we dump all the souls of the people Modeus has bedded in the past. They are too tainted, even for Judgement to beat into a pulp," explained Pandemonica.

"How many are we talking about? Tens, hundreds, thousands?" added Shino, rubbing his chin thoughtfully, to which Pandemonica glanced at him with narrowed eyes that told him that this was a downright terrible topic for discussion, though she still spoke of it anyways.

"Millions… of which were documented. We estimate that if we added in the undocumented ones we'd surpass the current population of Earth," answered Pandemonica, with her propping her glasses up as she spoke. At that, Akihiro and Shino paled as they glanced at one another in horror.

"W-Well… let's hope Modeus doesn't have any STDs…" muttered Shino as he stared back at Augus in pity. Akihiro didn't even know what that meant, though he found himself nodding in agreement with Norba as they watched Modeus try to jump onto his back, only to be stopped when Mikazuki turned around and snatched her out of the neck.

"Stop doing that."

"Stop doing what?"

"Trying to jump on me."

"I can't help it! I want you in me, post haste!"

Cringing a little at Modeus' straightforward approach to all this, Mika rolled his eyes and glanced over at his fellow pilots and Pandemonica, with him hoping that they could help him in some way at restraining this hopelessly horny demon. The former two didn't seem to want to risk being dragged into the issue, however, and Pandemonica was content with just watching from the sidelines, much to his chagrin.

"But I don't want to," argued Mika, wanting to get this over with as he sighed.

"You have no say in this!" countered Modeus, her eyes sparkling with more lust as she looked into the pilot's sharp gaze. How brazen… how dominant! None of the other men I've bedded in the past could compare to this shortstack!

"I think I do," grumbled Augus, raising a brow as he sharpened his gaze, which, if anything, seemed to only turn Modeus on further.

"But I'm physically stronger and can overpower you-"

"Modeus, do not threaten rape against Mikazuki Augus. You can do that later, after Lucifer burns him," piped up Pandemonica, cutting off Modeus. "For now, he is a customer, my customer, and it is unprofessional for me to go about letting you say such things to him."

"Fine… but even so, don't forget what you have to gain!" pouted Modeus as she clung onto Mikazuki's arm like a cat, wrapping both her arms and legs around the limb. Despite himself, Shino couldn't help but snicker a little at the sight as he watched the shortstack raise his arm up and attempt to pry Modeus off it to little avail.

"I see what I can gain, and I hate it," grumbled Mika as he finally shook Modeus off his arm, with her landing on the ground with a mild thump. The Lustful Demon pouted a little before she got up and attempted to snag onto Mikazuki's arm once more, though he had wisened up by then as he swung his arm away from her, causing her to lunge at nothing and faceplant into the ground.

"But you bedded that girl, didn't you? You enjoyed it! And I have more skill than her!" complained Modeus as she stared at Mika pitifully. Augus found his cheeks reddening a tad at the memories as he scoffed and walked past Modeus, grimacing as he did so.

"Erm… what is she talking about, Mika?" asked Shino as himself and Akihiro stared at the ace, to which the pilot shrugged dismissively.

"For me to know and you to find out," quipt Mika nonchalantly as he walked past his fellow pilots. At that, the two of them shared a look between each other and continued on.

"How mysterious," joked Akihiro with a mild shrug as he followed Mika forwards. Shino still seemed rather curious as to what the Hell Mika had done without anyone's notice, though he opted to let it slide as he followed his fellow pilots onwards.

"You didn't tell them about that little event between yourself and Atra Mixta?" questioned Pandemonica as she leaned down and whispered to Augus directly. A quick glance from the pilot was enough to answer her question, prompting her to nod and straighten herself up. "Duly noted. Why do you not tell them?"

"It's a secret," replied Mika with a shrug. "How do you know about it, though?"

His answer was for Pandemonica to tap on her notepad with her pen, and at that, the pilot shrugged and got the memo.

"Can I get something like that?" asked Mika, with him finding the prospect of owning a notepad that told him about people's fate to be rather enticing.

"Can you read?" rebutted Pandemonica, and at that, Mika squished his lips together as he silently conceded defeat… and not long after, Modeus tackled him from behind and sent him face first onto the ground once more.

"Yeah, I figured."

So I wrote this chapter on April 4th (2021) and sent it to Renn for proofreading, but we both forgot about it.

So… there's that?

zeonstar360: *scribbles that down* many thanks

Hat109: honestly I just hope it doesn't get too… spicy on accident. I'm not opposed to lemons, but even so…

I should draw a cover image for this.
