The eight demon queens
chapter 16
Starting today I'm gonna mention important plotpoints so I don't forget and lose my head and so we don't lose continuity, now I do admit this one might be a little confusing, but I'm also gonna go back and edit the chapters a little bit so it's all fluid, so feel free and look at them whenever you want to see what's adjusted.

Rin let out a cry and held two flaming orbs before hurling them at the target and burnt it to ashes.
"Keep it up Rin-kun." Lucifer spoke while watching his progress. "You just have a few more targets to burn."
He nodded before throwing more fireballs at the other targets while running and spotted a bigger one before forming a large one and hurled it straight at the bullseye.
Kaboom!
Which exploded and caused ashes and charred wood to fly.
Rin panted and smirked. "I think I'm getting the hang of this."
"Not yet." Spoke Mephisto while reading a book. "Try doing a fire dragon."
"I can't do that yet." He said before kicking the air as a wave of fire hit several targets. "All I can do is make simple shapes to throw, shoot, or swing."
"Yet you can make a bird out of flames." Remarked Lucifer. "Now calm down and focus on keeping the flames from burning anything else."
He looked at the burning parts and narrowed his eyes while slowly easing them off the wood and onto the floor while culminating it into one fire. "Now...fire!" He then formed a flaming mass on his right arm before sending an uppercut to a target as it flew up and exploded on the ceiling.
KABOOM!
"Ha! Now that was cool." he smirked. Only to accidentally blast Mephisto's book with a fist of fire. "...oops."
Said woman turned to him with an eye twitch. "You're buying me a new one later."
"Alright alright!" He gulped. "It's not like its limited edition right?"
"It was." She frowned. "It was about 8000 yen."
"Oh….well maybe I could make up for it some other way." he suggested. "I'm kinda tapped out for now."
"Oh, well when you put it that way, I might have a few ways." smirked Mephisto with a dark aura.
"Not now, because now it's time to address another issue with your training." spoke Lucifer.
"What's that Luci-san?" Asked Rin.
"Simple, control over your powers is coming forward which is good, but what will you do when you can't use them and have to resort to pure muscle? No offense Rin, but you could improve."
He rolled his eyes before making a flaming arm and punched a target into ash. "I'm good enough."
"No, you still need to work on your control and focus." she ran up to him and swung her arm before slamming an open palm into his stomach.
"Gah!" He cried out before getting punched into a wall. "Ow…."
"See? And father is far stronger than me, meaning if he held nothing back you would have passed out." spoke Lucifer with a stern expression. "So remember, don't get cocky or arrogant, or I'll have to break you, physically and mentally if need be."
He groaned before getting an idea as he used his flames to burn her clothes off. 'Heh heh, let's see you concentrate now.'
Lucifer blushed before running up to him and grabbed around his neck. "Focus! Are you going to keep acting this way? Are you going to act like this is father came up and killed your friends in front of your eyes?"
He gasped while feeling his lungs losing air and his face turning blue. "N….N….No…."
"Then focus!" She spoke while letting him go. "Or you might regret it."
Rin coughed while Lucifer turned to Amaimon who was watching while eating chips and snapped her fingers. "Amaimon, give him what I told you to put on him."
"Sure thing." She grinned while grabbing a large paper bag that was right next to her leg. She walked over to Rin and pulled some metal bracelets out and put them on his wrists with a metal vest going around his body before it locked into place.
Crash!
"Gah!" He groaned as he fell right onto the ground. "What are in these things?!"
"About 400 pounds of steel." Lucifer walked over while covering her chest. "I had Amaimon go to Gehenna and grab some due to their nature. This will not only help you gain muscle just from lugging it around, but the minerals in it are made to sap your powers away if you use them. This time instead of using powers, it's time to focus just on building your body's strength up."
"And for extra persuasion." Mephisto spoke while walking over and placing a iron collar around his neck. "This will make sure your flames are inactive for this part of the training. It's made of the same stone as those chains but with a slight difference." She grinned. "Every time you try to use your powers, they will backfire and either explode in your face or cause your clothes to burn off."
"H-How do you expect me to even lift this stuff up? It's heavier then me." he grunted trying to push himself up.
"Just use mind over matter." Spoke Amaimon. "It worked for me."
"Not really." The queen of time whispered in Rin's ear. "She couldn't even get up after the fifth time. And she was only 810 years old."
"Just tell me how I'm suppose to even move!"
"Simple, you just relax and focus."
He sighed and rested his head before slowly trying to relax his breathing. He then felt his arms moving slightly as he got up a few inches off the ground.
But at this time, Lucifer desided to sit on his back.
"Gah! Get off...me!"
"Consider this part of my payback for burning my clothes off. Now are you going to take this seriously?"
"But you weig-" he was about to finish only for his sisters to shake their heads no violently. "Um...you are light as a feather." 'A feather from a fucking statue!'
"Why thank you Rin-kun. But you still have to give me fifty."
"I think my arms are gonna fall off way before that, because of the armor."
She frowned at that. "I used that armor and I didn't have any problems with it." 'Except crashing through the floor and onto...father's bathtub while he….ugh.'
"Don't even think about it and just push yourself up." advised Mephisto. "If you spend time thinking about it you'll just put more pressure on yourself."
"Fine." He groaned. "But if I die from this I will make sure to haunt you!"
"Half-demons don't become ghosts. They just become demons or humans after death." Amaimon said. "Or something like that."
Rin groaned and closed his eyes before trying to push himself up.
"Oh and I also took your manga." Spoke Mephisto with a grin. "And I have to say, I didn't expect you to be a fan of Mär Heaven."
"No talking, he needs to focus." spoke Lucifer.
"I know but I'm making sure that Rin-kun gets some motivation." She chuckled. "Especially when I locked them in a vault and put it in a seven foot hole." 'Not really but if it gets him moving, then let the lies come forth.'
"Hey! I'm still on book three!" he cried out before losing focus and fell face first on the ground. "Ow!"
"Yep, and if you want to know where your manga is try to get up and make me talk."
'Damn her!' he thought with a growl. "W-What if my body breaks from all this pressure?"
"Then Yukio-chan will have to find them and trust me, some of your manga is really perverted." She lied. "Especially Monster Musume."
"I don't read that!" he cried out as he focused on the earth and slowly pushed himself back up.
"Oh? Well that might have been Yukio's." She shrugged. "But just focus while I tell you about the time Lucifer-chan tried to date a suit of armor after this drinking par-"
"Finish that and I'll put this on you without any other clothes outside." threatened Lucifer with one of her fingers glowing.
"Nevermind." She sweated. "But I do have a story about father after this one party. Oh boy, he was really drunk and tried to kiss a wall."
'What?'
'Ha!' Rinko laughed. 'How funny!'
(Azazel's room)
Said queen of spirits was looking through her bag of the materials she had gathered so far before her bible started glowing.
"Have you acquired the materials?" Satan spoke from the black book of darkness.
"Almost father, but I still need to find a few items."
"Such as?"
"The blood of a kraken, the eye of a cat that lived over the normal lifeline, the heart of a sinner that glows in the moonlight, and the hair of a Asura." She listed off. "But the last one might take a while."
"Be patience my child, you can get the heart after you acquire the other ingredients."
"Yes father."
"Also," Satan spoke up. "Make sure that you don't tell any of your sisters about this talk. You don't want them making the summoning a disaster."
"Of course father, and I must tell you that recently Lucifer, Amaimon, and Mephisto seem to be going with Rin after school for something, but neither me nor my scouts have managed to find out what. I have an assumption, but that's all."
"I see. Continue to monitor them and remember, don't let them find out." And with that the book closed and went silent.
'Oh dear, if those three are attempting something against father, I'll have to intervene.' She thought while sighing as her body 'poofed' as her 'sumo' self appeared. 'But for now, I'll take a nap to relax and gather my energy together before heading out.'
(With Beelzebub)
'Mistress.' Spoke Yuyuko while buzzing about the queen of insects' head. 'I'm bored.'
"I know, but right now I need to come up with the next class lesson for tomorrow."
'How about the mating rituals of bees? It always get their attention.'
"No, it makes them run for the hills."
'Meh, they are scaredy cats.'
"Oh please, I could show them so much more that'd scare them for life." she snickered with a dark glint.
'Like putting poisonous centipedes down their towels and see them flying out like scared ants?'
"Of course." she laughed.
'Nice one oh and your sister of smelly plants is walking towards you.' Yuyuko said before flying off.
"Beelzebub!" She yelled. "What the heck were you doing with this!" She helded up a large praying mantis. "In my underwear draw!"
"Oh yeah, I thought I left that somewhere." she idly remarked calmly. "Thanks for finding him."
"You put him there didn't you!"
"It's a female." She said. "Note the small size difference."
Astaroth groaned and put the insect on the desk. "Look, just keep your bugs out of my room."
Beelzebub shrugged. "It's not my fault you don't clean up after yourself."
She glared at that jab.
"Hey that reminds me, since we're not doing anything, what say we go out and do something together?"
"Sure, but no bug houses."
"I'm not all about bugs you know." she deadpanned while standing up.
"Like?"
"Crustaceans and arthropods."
Astaroth fell anime style before picking herself up and followed Beelzebub out of the room. "They're practically the same!"
"So?" She said. "They live in different environments." she turned ahead and saw Shiemi and Izumo walking down the hall and smiled. "Afternoon Shiemi-san, Izumo-san."
"Hello." Spoke Izumo. "How are you two doing?"
"Just telling my sister about exterminating her room."
Both of them blinked confused.
"A nest of praying mantis made my sister here run out and scream like a cicada." she smirked before thinking. "Shiemi-san, isn't it true you're quite fond of nature?"
"Yes." Shiemi smiled. "I even take care of the weeds."
"...ok?" Astaroth said with a sweatdrop.
"I have an idea, what say we all hang out and get to know one another more. Not as teachers and students, just people." smiled Beelzebub.
"Are you sure?" Asked Izumo. "We don't want to be a bother and-"
"That sounds good sensei!" Grinned Shiemi. "Me and Izumo-san know this nice spot right across from a great place to get shaved ice."
"Shaved ice?" Both said with a shiver as they tried once and...well they had nasty brain freezes that lasted for hours. "We'll pass."
"Aw." She pouted. "But it had special curry flavored ice cream."
That perked their interest especially Beelzebub's scientist curiosity.
"It's not that great." remarked Izumo shaking her head.
"But you liked it Izumo-san."
'That's true.' She thought with a light blush. "Still, it might not be open."
"Well let's go and see." smiled Beelzebub. "My treat."
"Actually it's mine." Spoke Astaroth. "I have the money from this month's pay."
"Then let's go." smiled Shiemi.
(In town)
They walked towards a small park as the four girls looked around.
"This is it." Shiemi pointed to the shop which was currently open. It was a huge shop with a little demon with a headache on the door. "The Oni migraine shaved ice cream shop."
'...what?' The two demon queen's thought in disbelief.
"Um, why is it called that?" Astaroth asked the students.
"Because the mascot is cute." Izumo sighed while taking a oni plushy from the box outside the shop. "And it has flavors that would make a demon have a nasty headache."
"I'd like to see them try." challenged Beelzebub.
"Yeah." Astaroth smirked. "It's not like it could literally do that." 'Hopefully.'
The four of them walked inside and headed to the counter.
"Welcome to the Oni Migraine." Spoke a woman in a Oni girl outfit. "How may we serve you today?"
"I'll take a curry flavored shave ice cone." spoke Beelzebub.
"I will take one as well." Astaroth spoke.
"Same." Izumo spoke up.
"I will take the insect larva and potato chip flavored shave ice cone. With five scoops." Shiemi smiled.
"Right away." The woman said while getting the cones.
Beelzebub looked at her with wide eyes. "They actually serve something like that here?"
"Yep." She smiled. "It serves any kind of flavor. Even oil slick and garbage flavors."
"..."
"..."
"...ew." Spoke Astaroth in disgust. "Just ew."
"N-Not that I eat those!" she cried out waving her hands. "Even I think that's a little much."
"Are you sure?" Asked Izumo.
"Yes!"
"Right." She rolled her eyes as the ice cream came by.
"Here you go." The woman said while handing them their ice cream cones. "That will be 31 yen."
Astaroth handed her the money before they took the cones and took a table to sit down at.
As they sat down, Shiemi started to eat her ice cream like it was the last thing on earth.
"I had no idea you had such an appetite." remarked Beelzebub.
"Yep." She said while eating the cone. "Can I have some of your ice cream sensei?"
"No." she replied before taking a bite of the cone. "Huh? It actually tastes good."
"Really?" Astaroth said before taking a bite. "Wow! It's better than your cooking!"
"I try to cook one time and you can't drop it." frowned Beelzebub.
"But I actually liked your pasta."
"It was a salad." she growled. "What made you think it was pasta?"
"Well it was long, had sauce on it and it….tasted like pasta."
She groaned louder at that.
"So, what should we even talk about?" asked Izumo since this is a situation she never imagined she'd find herself in.
Beelzebub turned to her. "How about your grades?"
"Or about your tastes in boys?" Asked Astaroth with a smirk. 'Better to make sure our Rin-kin doesn't have any potential suitors.'
"W-W-W-What?!" she sputtered out with a blush.
"Oh? You don't want to talk about it?"
Shiemi smiled. "I'm a lesbian."
"Oh? I didn't expect that, but I hold no grudges against your choice."
"Thank you sensei. And I already have someone in mind." She said while looking at Izumo discreetly. "Even if she doesn't know it." 'Yet.'
"Well if you're not careful, you might lose them." spoke Astaroth while glancing away. 'Like how I might lose Rin.'
Izumo looked at her before turning to Beelzebub. "How about we not talk about this? It feels...off."
"No no, I'm kind of interested in this conversation." She said with a slight smirk.
"Is it even allowed for teachers to know their student's love lives?" spoke Izumo with a deadpanned expression.
"It is when you want to better understand your students. Especially ones that actually take notes in my class."
Izumo blushed with a slight gulp. "Well, what about you two? Do you like anyone?"
Both looked at each other before looking away.
"Or are you lesbians?" Asked Shiemi.
"No."
"Not really but we are slightly bisexual."
"So you do like someone?" smirked Izumo. "Who is it?"
"..."
"..."
"..."
"..."
"..."
"...well…." Beelzebub said with a stutter. "He is short, has black hair and blue eyes."
"And he's a nice guy with a strong heart."
"And he's a childhood friend."
"But that's it!" they both cried out with blushes.
"Oh," Izumo said. "But wait, how old is he?"
"About your age."
"Wait what?!"
"She jokes." Beelzebub said while covering her mouth. "He's about our age."
Shiemi cocked her head to the side. "Really, because we wouldn't judge if he's younger than you two."
"Trust me, he's our age. Well toned, handsome, and lives in the next town over."
"What's his name?"
"Rino Okishina."
"That's an odd name but maybe he's a nice guy like Rin-kun?"
"Yes, very nice." smiled Astaroth while inwardly frowning. 'She used kun since they're friends, that's it.'
She nodded before hearing a stomach growl loudly. "Izumo-chan? Was that you?"
"Um...y-yes."
"Then let's get some lunch." She smiled. "I know this restaurant that sells cooked pufferfish."
"Mmm, I've never had that before." remarked Beelzebub. "This time it's on me."
"Really?"
"Of course. It's only fair after all."
So after finishing the cones they headed out with Shiemi showing them the restaurant. Which was a massive building with a reaper as the mascot.
"This is the Deathly Grave and bones." Shiemi smiled. "They make the best food with rare but deadly ingredients."
"Has anyone died from eating here?" asked Astaroth.
"Not one...well except for the owner's cat but hey it tried playing with an actual great white."
'How is this even safe?!' Both demons thought with a shudder. But they sucked up the chill and all of them walked in.
(In kitchen)
We can hear pots and pans bursting with life as a red haired man chopped up some shark meat. "Yep, I love this job."
"Just be careful, we don't need one of those knives flying out and stabbing someone."
"Like the last time?" He asked his black haired counterpart. "That was all the octopuses fault."
"It's pronounced octopi, now just keep careful cause my aunt ain't gonna bail us out if we get sent to jail this time."
"Yeah yeah." He shrugged off while looking at his watch. 'One more hour and we can leave for our other business.'
Just then a waitress walked in. "We have a order for a killer pufferfish salad and devil's burger with extra eel."
"Yep, that's your speciality." The redhead smirked. "I'll get the pufferfi-"
"No way! I'll deal with the fish, you get the burger." the black haired chef spoke rushing to get the fish.
"Are you sure? It is the biggest fish we have."
"I told you, I handle the pufferfish. Last time you tried to serve it I had to give myself the antidote while you were too busy listening to music."
"I happen to like W-B-X -W Boiled Extreme from Kamen Rider W." he retorted. "Plus you were looking at a girl with H cup breasts when that happened! And she was our boss too!"
"What kind of boss has a chest that big and doesn't expect people to stare! It's like those woman you see in shows that have big chests and freely wear clothes that show tons of cleavage and expect people not to look or think perverted thoughts! It's damn near impossible NOT to!"
"Even if you nearly lost your head from that redhead yesterday. Really why was she even carrying a sword and have a bikini top in public!?" He said while finishing the burgers.
"Shh! I need focus." the other chef looked at the fish and held the knife up.
"Order for a large reaper pizza!" Yelled a waitress who scared the male into cutting the wrong way. "With a side of fries!"
"I will get that." The redhead said while getting started on the order. "Just get the fish ready."
"R-Right." 'Shit! If they get poisoned I'm dead! Maybe I should just pray hard and serve it as is.'
"Oh and don't forget to add the hot sauce. For zing as you put it." 'Note to self get some food in Remnant. I'm starving for Atlas fries.'
(With the girls)
"I had no idea they could serve western food here at the same time." remarked Astaroth.
"They do." Shiemi said. "And they also have a show where the lucky customers of the day get to do comedy for everyone here."
'I feel sorry for the poor saps.' thought Beelzebub. Just then a spotlight shone directly on her and Astaroth. 'Shit!'
"Can customers 664 and 665 head to the stage?" Called a voice from the speakers. "Thank you."
"Looks like you two get to make us laugh." smirked Izumo.
"Good luck. And remember use slapstick." Shiemi smiled as the two women begrudgingly got up and headed towards the stage.
"What do we do?" Astaroth whispered.
"Anything, just make sure it's not anything from Gehenna. Those jokes are very offensive here."
When they got on stage they turned and saw everyone looking at them.
"Um...hi." Spoke Astaroth. "So how's the weather today?"
"Boo."
'Wow, real original.' thought Beelzebub with sarcasm.
"So what did the egg say to the chicken? Yoke you later."
Crickets sounded at that joke.
"Excuse my sister she has trouble speaking without sounding like a mad woman."
"Boo."
"You stink."
Both sweatdropped hearing that.
"What did the caterpillar say when she saw lunch? Leafapateite." Beelzebub said while internally facepalming at the joke.
"Booo!"
"Hey." Spoke Astaroth. "Ever heard of the cat and the spoon? Well neither did the cat."
"Get off the stage!"
'Ok the big guns are up now.' "I once knew this man who dated eight girls, each time he came they left him hanging!"
More crickets.
"How about this. I once knew a girl with a fetish for tits, she walks into a store one day and finds a naked girl playing with herself. When she saw she replied 'can I join in too?'."
Snickers were heard but not too many.
"I once knew a man called Big Jim who was great at all the right things. He'd hit on all sorts of women but the next day they were grumpy and mad. I went up to him and asked him this. 'Did you give her foreplay?' He'd say yes. Then I asked him if he remembered the lube, he did. Then I asked what the problem was and he replied 'She looked at my groin and asked where my junk was.'."
Chuckles were heard.
"Just yesterday my dog went into heat. Today my pillow became a mother. Best part, they didn't need any foreplay, they just humped."
A few more chuckles came out.
"Ok, I know a girl with a problem. She looked like a boy. One day I asked her 'why do you look like a boy if you have breasts?' She answers by saying 'because I'm a futanari'. And I said 'So?' And she then showed me her rod and sighed 'my cocks too big not to be a mans'!"
Laughs were heard as several customers asked for more.
(One joke session later)
"Wow, who knew you two could make them want an encore." spoke Izumo while they ate their food.
"Yeah." Beelzebub said while eating her pufferfish. "I'm surprised that my sister's innuendo jokes would make this crowd laugh."
"Well if I wasn't up there they might have stunk." smirked Astaroth.
She nodded at that before tasting something off. "Huh? How odd."
"What's wrong?" asked Shiemi.
"It tastes...off-" she said before gasping for air as she dropped to the floor. "G-Gah-g..." 'P-Poison!'
"Beelzebub!" cried Astaroth dropping beside her while the girls went wide eyed seeing the teacher grabbing at her neck.
"G-Ga…" she gasped while her powers started to try and cleanse the poison but since it wasn't an insects it was taking way too long and slow as she felt her lungs losing air. "H-H...elp…-p!"
"Help! Someone help!" Izumo screamed.
The chefs looked out with the black haired one paling.
"Are you ok?" Asked the redhead. "Is somet-"
"Damn it!" the black haired one aran out with a needle and crouched down next to her. "This might sting."
"G-Gah…" Beelzebub gasped before her face turned purple. "Gah…"
The chef pushed the needle in her before pushing the antidote into her. The antidote started to take effect as Beelzebub started to regain her air.
"AH!" She cried out. "Ah….ah….ah..."
"Damn it, I fucked up."
"What do you mean?!" Astaroth growled. "Did….! You poison my sister!"
"I didn't mean to! I must have messed up on the pufferfish and left part of the poisonous parts with the rest of it." he held his hands up.
She growled but was stopped by Shiemi who placed a hand on her shoulder.
"It was just an accident. And sensei is alright so please relax."
Astaroth sighed before looking at the chef. "You're lucky she's alive or I would have done something I wouldn't regret."
He gulped and nodded. "Um, I'm sure my boss wouldn't mind if I gave you all some coupons, half off any meal."
"Make that a few years." Spoke the redhead while walking towards them. "Plus if she did die, it would have been you that got fed to the sharks by the boss herself." 'So violent.'
"Alright alright, few years it is."
Beelzebub frowned at him before getting up. "And another fish, without the poison."
"Coming right up." The redhead said while dragging the black haired man away. "And you my friend will have to talk to the boss about this, hopefully she doesn't give us cleaning duties."
'I hate today.'
Izumo looked at Beelzebub while helping her back to her seat. "Sensei? Do you need to head to the hospital?"
"No, I think I'll be alright." She said while Astaroth rubbed her back. "And why are you so affectionate right now?"
"I nearly lost you. Who wouldn't be relieved?" She sighed. "Plus who would take care of your pet bugs after you died?"
She blinked. 'Hmm, good point.'
"That and Rin-kun would miss his sister." The queen of rot said with double meaning. "I can see it now, Rin-kun crying in my arms while thinking of you."
"You implying you'd swoop in and snatch him up?" she whispered back.
"Maybe." She whispered back. "But I care about you my bug loving sister. So I will not attempt that on you." 'Not, but only if you put anymore bugs in my clothes.'
"Should we call it a day?" Izumo whispered to Shiemi.
"Nope." Shiemi smiled. "Not until we get our fortune cookies."
"Even I find those to be ridiculous."
"Please?" She pouted. "For me?"
'Why did she have to look so...gah!' "Fine! We will get some!"
"Thank you Izumo-chan."
They sat back down just as the redheaded chef came back out with the cookies.
"Here you go." He said before walking away. 'I hope you like these fortunes, I made them myself.'
"So who opens their cookies first?" Asked Astaroth.
"Let's let the girls do ahead."
"Aren't we all girls?" Shiemi said confused.
"You know what I mean."
Izumo shrugged before opening up her cookie first. "You will find love when you grope your best friends c-chest?! What the hell?!" 'What kind of fortune is this?!'
'Sounds like the chef wanted to have some fun.' sweatdropped Astaroth. "Uh? You will be first to taste your lovers….cock." 'Yep, that human is messing with us.'
"That was odd." Shiemi blushed while looking at her fortune. "A fox will confess to you two weeks from now while naked." 'Fox, oh. How kinky.'
Beelzebub looked at hers. "The time shall come where two sides shall form but unite under one flame." She then saw some small text. "Your first child shall be a girl named Isa and she will be a firebug."
"Firebug? What does that mean?" Asked Izumo.
"Uh, maybe it's a meaning for her last name." she smiled. 'Wait, so that means...I'll have Rin's child!'
"Well it's a nice name." Astaroth smirked. "For me it would be Liza." 'Oh my child would be the apple in my eye.'
"I still think these are ridiculous. That chef probably wanted to mess with us and just wrote down whatever came to mind." dismissed Izumo.
"Or it could be real and they would come true?" Shiemi smiled. "Maybe my fox will come and confess?"
"Or it's just a fake."
"I'm still going to hope Izumo-chan."
'Her future better not come true. If I get my chance with Rin I'm going to take all his first.' thought Beelzebub glancing at Astaroth.
'Why is she looking at me like that?' "Um...is something wrong?"
"Oh nothing at all." she smiled. "Just feeling grateful for you worrying."
"Any sister would." Astaroth spoke. "You would do the same for me right?" 'Hope so or I might make you eat rotten food for a year.'
"Of course." 'Even though you would have taken the chance to snatch Rin up like a vulture if I died.'
She smiled while getting an idea. "So let's get going but first a joke. What do you get when you cross a boy and a hole? A sexy hole!"
Crickets.
"You know a woman's hole. A vagina. Come on! It's my best material!"
"Let's just go."
"Yeah."
"Let's." Shiemi spoke before getting up and walked towards the register.
"Come on! It was funny!"
"Sure sure, whatever you say."
Astaroth sighed as she walked towards the group. 'It was funny. It was.'
"You know Shiemi-chan, most think bugs are bothersome especially to plants, but they can also be helpful for one another."
"I know. That's why I make sure not to hurt any. I even protect them from birds."
"I swear, if you keep up that attitude you might end up my favorite student." she teased.
"Well Izumo-chan here actually has a pet spider in her dorm. She called it 'Dave' I think?" Shiemi said while said girl blushed.
"Really? But isn't it dangerous to have spiders near you? After all, many can be dangerous and venomous." remarked Astaroth.
"She said it was a non poisonous spider."
"Yeah...it was just a...daddy longlegs."
"You're lucky." smiled Astaroth. "A poisonous one would look more menacing and it's bite would be worse. But in a way, they might be scary to be around, but that doesn't mean they don't feel."
"True but…" Izumo blushed. "I like spiders, even poisonous ones. They are...cute." 'They are going to laugh! I just-'
"Impressive." remarked Beelzebub. "Tolerating them is one thing, but finding them cute is rare to find. Don't feel embarrassed, my sis here actually likes feeding some of the more poisonous bugs I keep around and she thinks they're cuter than any rabbit or dog."
"Hey!" Astaroth blushed. "Don't go telling people that!" she saw the girls staring and sighed. "I just….think something small and dangerous can be huggable too. Even if one bite can rot a person's skin, but that's just something that's bound to happen to every person right?"
"Yes but they can be cute as well." Izumo smiled. "I mean they help the environment and are...you know cool looking." she looked at the ground. "And even if a person's time comes, I believe you should use what time you have now and do what you can to make the best of it. Something Shiemi-san here helped me see."
"Right." Said girl smiled. "And if Izumo-chan was a little spider I would have kept her safe and sound." 'Forever~'
Izumo blushed which the two sisters noticed and hid their snickers.
"And if she was a plant I would have given her a bath."
"S-Shiemi-san!"
"Well I thank you for your time girls, and remember to finish up your homework on which insects are too hostile." spoke Beelzebub.
"Ok." Shiemi smiled. "And I hope your friend confesses to you."
"See you two tomorrow." spoke Astaroth before the two of them walked off.
"What a nice time." Beelzebub said. "Even if I nearly died."
"I wish I could help with poison, but all I would have done is make it worst." spoke Astaroth with a sigh.
"Yes it would but it's in the past." She said. "But your jokes need work, scratch that, it needs to be fixed!"
"Well I never had an audience to do that in front of!"
"Father and our sisters heard your jokes before so why not in front of these humans?"
"I have stage fright! And my family doesn't count!" Astaroth yelled. "Plus I hate telling my funny jokes to people that can't understand basic humor!"
"Or they just sucked." she muttered.
"Plus….I just wanted to make you laugh."
"Huh?"
"Yes I know, it's strange but I wanted to see you laugh naturally not...you know, your evil scientist laugh."
"I don't have an evil scientist laugh!"
"You do and it's fucking creepy." Astaroth said. "And I mean really creepy and gives even Lucifer a chill. And I once saw her hiding under the bed when you laughed that one time with the dissected demon bird at age 900."
"Ok ok! I get it. I don't laugh other than that as often as you think so I get what you mean."
She looked at her before smirking. "Stop me if you heard this, a bees enter a bar. She asked for a beer and the barkeeper said 'you don't want to have it'. She asked why and the next day she finds herself as a Queen of the hive!"
"...he he."
"See? And you said it was broken."
"I see your point." Beelzebub chuckled. "And it's still broken but still fine."
"Please, I'll have you rolling on your sides in no time."
She sighed. "That'll be the day. Like when Mephisto stops reading manga."
"I'm still going to make you laugh like crazy. Even if I have to act like a clown to do so."
"Oh? You mean you haven't been this whole time?"
"Not funny!" She blushed while the queen of insects smirked. 'I will get you back for that!'
