Nathair1: Thanks. You're right, only sick individuals will harm a woman who is expecting. Read to find out what happens.
NeoGamer93: Yeah, it's not going to be good.
Enjoy the next chapter.
Clara stared at the two adults in front of them before leaning against her husband and whispered, "I-Iruma-kins? Why did he call you son?"
"Because these are the bastards who sold me to grandpa, they're supposed to be my parents Ryu and Mana Suzuki," Clara looked at them with wide eyes, "What? What the hell…how did you even get down here?"
"Is that anyway to greet your parents, Iruma?" the woman asked, "We haven't seen you in two years an-"
"After you assholes sold me to grandpa, and before that you treated me like a save because you morons wanted to be lazy assholes and force your son into dangerous situations an-"
"Iruma-kins, please calm down before you wake Luna and Sol up," Iruma took several deep breaths as Clara rubbed his back and frowned, "Better?"
"Yeah,"
"And who is this exactly?" the man gestured to Clara while arching a brow and Iruma narrowed his eyes, "And who are Luna and Sol exactly?"
"You stupid son of…first, Luna and Sol are our adopted children," Iruma held Clara close to him and he narrowed his eyes, "We've been taking care of them for over a year when we found them abandoned in the woods by Clara's house and adopted them,"
"Adopted…you mean…I have grandbabies?" the woman smiled.
"No," the woman frowned as Iruma shook his head, "You have nothing, Mana, outside of this worthless piece of trash for a husband, the money grandpa gave you for selling me to him and wherever you're living now…anyway, this lovely demoness next to me is Clara, my wife of a few months, who is pregnant," the two frowned as Iruma narrowed his eyes, "What now?"
"Wife?" the woman shook her head and frowned, "We…we don't remember getting an invitation to a wedding…and…and you know it's important that the parents of both the bride and groom to be present an-"
"You're not his parents," Clara hissed, "Not after what you did to him…but…because of you, I met my Iruma-kins and we're going to have a family,"
"But how?" the man arched a brow, pointing towards Iruma, "He's human, how is it possible that you can be pregnant from another species? And don't give me that demon bull. It doesn't make any-"
"Iruma-kins isn't human anymore,"
The two stared at them in confusion as Iruma smirked and crossed his arms, "She's right…I've been down here for so long that my body adapted, but it took Clara being in danger in a short-lived that we were both in to break through my mental barriers, and because of that, my body became demon and we soon won the war, got married and now we're fixing to give Luna and Sol as many siblings as we can possibly give them," he narrowed his eyes as he stepped towards them, "Now…enough about us and what we've been doing. I want to know how in the hell you idiots got down here," the two looked away as Iruma crossed his arms, "How exactly did you get down here to the Netherworld? Demons can go to the human world if summoned, but humans crossing over the border? I managed to because again, you sold me to grandpa, but as far as I know, it never happened again, so how did you get down here?"
"Well…you see…shortly after doing that, we moved," the man answered and Iruma hummed and nodded, "And…it was a total pigsty,"
"Okay, but what the hell does-"
"We didn't bother cleaning for the two years we lived there," Iruma sighed as he pinched the bridge of his nose and shook his head before the woman continued, "And when we got around to cleaning, we found a book on demonology, and how to summon demons as well as travel to and from the underworld," the two stared at the intruders in disbelief as the woman spoke again, "And so we figured we'd come down here and get another handsome loan from that nice demon we talked to years ago as you can probably imagine our founds are running a little low an-"
"So that's how you're speaking the demon language," the two nodded, "And you decided to come down to the Netherworld, not knowing how demons react around humans, with the intention of possibly stealing from grandpa and all because you idiots are terrible when it comes to money, or life in general, but that's another story for another day," Iruma stepped closer to them as magic poured from his body, "But right now, I have two people I hate more than anything in life standing in front of me and I have no intentions of holding-"
"Mommy, daddy?" Clara's and Iruma's eyes widened as they looked back and saw Luna and Sol sitting up and rubbing their eyes.
Before they could react, Ryu and Mana ran past them and over to the two children. They looked up and Ryu spoke, "Okay…just…just give us some money, and we'll be on our way. We won't hurt your kids and you'll get rid of us," the air became heavy as the two looked around in confusion, "What the hell is going on?"
The door swung open, and Clara's parents, Urara, Sullivan and Opera rushed into the room. Looking around, they spotted the intruders and Sullivan narrowed his eyes slightly, "What are you two doing here? After selling Iruma to me, I figured that that would be the last anyone here would see you,"
Everyone looked at him before Alyssa spoke, "Who are they exactly?"
"They are Iruma's parents, the very same who sold him to me two years ago, and now they are here in my mansion,"
The adults looked back at the two and Alyssa's eyes widened as she saw Ryu holding onto Sol and Mana holding Luna before she looked at her oldest daughter and son-in-law, glaring at the two before she looked back and frowned and shook her head, "Please, for the love that is unholy, please tell us that you two didn't threaten my grandchildren in front of their parents?"
Ryu and Mana looked at each other in confusion before looking back at the group of demons in front of them and Mana arched a brow, "And…and if we did? Would that be bad?" without warning, Opera ran towards them and took Luna and Sol from them before running back to the others.
The two looked up with wide eyes before looking at Clara and Iruma before Ryu shook his head, "They…they won't hurt us, would they?"
"You have threatened their children in front of them," Opera spoke, "The Netherworld might be cruel, but demons care for their young, and Master Iruma and his wife are no exception to that rule." The two humans looked back at Clara and Iruma before swallowing hard in fear and slowly backed towards the wall, "Don't," they looked back at Opera, "You're not going to escape with your lives if you do,"
"Then…then what are we supposed to do?"
"Mommy, daddy," Clara and Iruma looked back with wide eyes as Opera set Luna and Sol down and the two walked up to them, "No hurt, no hurt," Clara sighed as she picked up Sol and Iruma picked up Luna, "No hurt?"
"No, no one is getting hurt, you two," Clara smiled and shook her head, "But you two should be sleeping. It's getting late, it's way past your bedtime," Clara looked at Ryu and Mana and narrowed her eyes, "Get the hell out of here before we kill you," everyone looked at her, many in surprise as Iruma smiled and chuckled, "You woke our babies up, you treated my Iruma-kins like a slave all his life, you're not nice people an-"
"Actually my dear," everyone looked at Sullivan as he walked past Clara and Iruma and towards Iruma's parents, "They've entered our home without permission, with the intent of stealing from us, and they were going to harm Luna and Sol just to make their escape after getting what they wanted, and this is something that just can't be overlooked, so we'll place them in the holding cells and wait to see what punishment will be appropriate for them," without warning, Opera grabbed the two by the arms and led them out of the room as the others followed, leaving Clara, Iruma and Luna and Sol.
Sitting down, the two looked at Luna and Sol and slightly frowned as Clara shook her head, "You uh…you weren't kidding, huh Iruma-kins?" Iruma hummed and looked at his wife in confusion, "When you said your parents don't care about anyone…it didn't bother them when they tried to hurt our babies,"
"I know, Clara, but some things just…can't be helped and they are a few things that definitely can't be helped," he looked down at Luna as she fell asleep in his arms and Sol fell asleep in Clara's arms and he slightly smiled, "But for now, we should get these two back to bed," Clara hummed and nodded in agreement as the two of them began walking around the room with Luna and Sol in their arms.
Sullivan, Opera, Clara's parents and her older brother led the two intruders into the cellar where Opera forcibly threw them into one of the cells before Sullivan closed and locked it. The two looked up and Mana spoke, "Please…let us talk to our son. We have a right to see him an-"
"The second you treated him lower than dirt was the time you gave up on being his parents," Alyssa hissed, surprising her husband and oldest son, "I'd say the moment you sold him, but what kind of parents force their child into life-or-death situations from the moment they can walk?" Mana and Ryu looked away, "Answer me!"
"W…we wouldn't be able to tell you…a-a lot of people in our world do it an-"
"Bullshit!" everyone stared at Alyssa with wide eyes as she stepped closer to the cell and glared at Mana before spitting in her face, "You should be ashamed of yourself for even thinking about calling yourself a mother. You should've cared for your own flesh and blood, not force him to do your dirty work."
The air between the humans and demons grew still before Jack cleared his throat, "Uh…why don't we go back upstairs, love. We'll let Lord Sullivan handle them," Alyssa took a deep breath before her husband led her away and Urara followed.
The two looked up at Sullivan and Opera before Sullivan spoke, "We will decide your punishment tomorrow…for now, I advise you two to get some sleep," Mana and Ryu watched as Sullivan and Opera turned and walked away in silence.
Well…enjoy this…chapter…I don't know where I was going with this one, but enjoy.
