A/N: Hello and thank you very much for reading my work! This was somewhat a result of reading a whole bunch of isekai manga as well as playing Obey Me too much. I hope you'll enjoy as much as I did writing. It will initially start slow but will take off shortly. I'm also going to use one or two Japanese phrases here and there or some honorifics, but if it bothers you please let me know. Please let me know what sort of things I can do to improve, and enjoy! Read and review please! Crossposted from AO3.

Chapter 3

Leviathan sighed, shaking his head, "Enough, this is starting to depress me. Well I didn't get you to my room to show you TSL. See I'm going to reiterate what you probably already know. Mammon is an absolute scumbag. There's absolutely no doubt about it. I lent him money and now he won't give it back. But scummy as he is, he's still the second oldest of us. I can't go against him because he's just so fast."

I tried keeping focus on Levi's story. Apparently there was a figurine that Mammon won that Levi wanted, but Mammon wouldn't give it to Levi just because Levi liked it. And then when Levi tried getting it from Mammon's room, he got upset 'cause the room was trashy and tried to attack Mammon, but Mammon was too quick and knocked out Levi all while going commando because that's how he sleeps.

Damn, these brothers are crazy.

"So normally no one would be able to match him in speed aside from Lucifer and Beel, but if a human were to make a pact with him, Mammon would have no choice but to obey," finished Levi as he plopped down on a huge fish plush chair.

"Huh… So you're getting me here because…?"

"Because I need you to make a pact with Mammon, dummy!"

"...Why?"

"W-What?! You humans are so dense!"

"I mean, the dude wouldn't pay you back right? And you just want me to make a pact with him. But he's a scumbag."

"Yeah."

"And he's likely not gonna follow orders."

"Mm-hm."

"So why would a pact make any difference?"

Levi scoffed, "I was just getting to that! See, a pact basically chains the demon to the human. In exchange for the human's soul, they get the demon's servitude and power."

"I don't need it."

Levi's mouth gaped so wide I could fit a baseball if I wanted, "What?"

"Lucifer said I already got assistance of you seven bros or whatever."

Levi stared at me unblinking.

"And uh… I don't need a pact for that. Plus I don't like the idea of having a demon take my soul, much less Mammon considering he ditched me for a demon that I didn't know would eat me or not…"

Levi stared at me some more, this time looking more offended.

'Geh! I'm sorry, ok?!'

"And well, I don't really need power or whatever, I just wanna live comfortably until this whole program thing is over."

Levi's gaze was so stone cold I swear he was a statue and it's freaking me out.

"And I don't feel like it."

I was starting to kind of sweat buckets. Usually I have no problems saying no, but now I'm feeling like I'm somewhat being steered to saying yes? Is it because I'm a girl now that people are more inclined to have me follow their freakin' whims? Geez, that's annoying.

"F-fine!" Leviathan stood up angrily, jutting a finger in my direction, "You don't have to take the pact, but you'll probably die thanks to that scumbag! He'll probably ditch you again to another demon that isn't as nice as me, see if I care!"

I stared. Was there really no other option? I mean I get that he really wants his money back, but my soul wasn't exactly something I could just part with. Maybe there's another way.

"Say, how common are these pact things anyway?"

Levi glared at me.

Oh. He's still mad.

I sighed, "Look. I'm not like you demons. You guys should already know that humans don't live as long as you all and I'd like to keep living as long as possible. I'm offering to help as a friend."

That got his attention.

"F-f-friend?!"

Whatever reaction I was expecting, I wasn't prepared for what Leviathan did next.

The demon immediately hid behind his goldfish tank.

"Uh…" Did I make a mistake?

Levi glared at me from behind the fish tank, cheeks now puffed up, "D-don't get so cocky! Just because we met and barely got to know each other and I taught you TSL basics doesn't make us friends!"

"Oh. Ok," I nodded.

"What's with that 'oh'?! Aren't you gonna go 'no way, the moment we met, we became comrades!' or something cliche like that?!" Levi continued, cheeks still puffed.

I wasn't getting it.

At all.

Wait a minute… "Are you… Telling me to roleplay? Dude you shoulda told me!" I laughed hard.

"W-w-what are you talking about?! You humans are so strange!"

"Still isn't it fine though? I'll still try to help my own way and work with you…" I got up and slowly approached Levi, who seemed to keep growing nervous but stood his ground. I then crouched down to his level since the fish tank was kind of low cabinet level, "As friends," I finished while extending a hand out and making sure to give my best A+ smile.

I'm doing it right, right? Being one of those cool protagonist types kind of? I gazed at the demon's face trying to see if there's approval. Instead he was avoiding me by looking away.

"F-f-fine… We'll work together… A-a-as f-f-f-... As... Friends…" Levi clasped my hand in his and slowly squeezed.

I then hoisted him up grinning, "Heh heh, is that better?"

He was covering part of his face with a hand and continuing to avert his gaze, "You're a weird girl…"

I think I kind of got him now. He probably never really had a friend before and has trouble expressing himself. Poor guy.

"Anyway I wanted to ask, about those pacts…"

Leviathan shook his head, albeit slightly disappointed, "You don't wanna do it, so it's fine, I get it."

I blinked. So he changed his mind on trying to get me to do one? Works for me.

"Just letting you know though, it doesn't necessarily have to be the soul of the person, it depends on what's agreed upon in the pact. But you need to give something to the demon to make it worth the exchange. So if you ever change your mind, just know it isn't really that bad if you don't want to. I'll even tell you how to negotiate with Mammon later if you want."

I nodded. Makes sense, so just because I make a pact doesn't mean I'd necessarily die. Still… "How common are pacts anyway?"

The demon stared at me once again like I grew an extra head, "Seriously?! You humans have so many games, books, and anime based on demons and stuff and you're asking me how common they are?!"

I backed up with hands up in surrender. I'm getting lectured again. Maaaan.

"Well to answer your question human… No, Kaname was it? Kaname. Anyway Kaname, pacts are fairly common. Humans desire so many things and what's more tempting to gain an advantage in life than to make a pact and have a demon under your control? Honestly it's a plotline for so many different stories and stuff in your media, which you don't even know, that's so not fair! Being a human is so wasted on you," blabbered Levi as he brushed his lavender bangs from his eyes a bit.

I laughed nervously, "Yeah, I mean I know it's a common plot device and stuff in stories, but it's different seeing it right in front of me. I mean I didn't even know demons exist and stuff!"

Leviathan stared. Then he began laughing. Loud.

Ok what was so funny?

"I thought I lived in a cave, but you're way worse!" Levi snickered for a bit. "Well what about it though?"

I scratched my cheek thoughtfully, "If any human can do a pact, isn't there any that already made a pact with Mammon?"

Levi mulled over my question, then nodded, "Yeah, there is… But those witches are pretty scary. Plus we're not allowed to leave the Devildom as we please without Lucifer's permission. It's a good plan though, as expected of Henry the second."

"...Huh?"

"Your codename! I'll be the third lord, the Lord of Shadow, and you'll be Henry… But since you're not as cool as Henry, you're called 'second,' got it? Or do you prefer me calling you human?"

"No, I'm alright with that, but didn't you wanna be Henry?"

"I told you, didn't I? I can never be as cool as Henry… Plus, um… When you wanted to be friends, um… Actually it doesn't matter! You be Henry… The second!" Levi pointed in my direction with extra dramatic flair.

I guess this is the part where I have to be all shocked.

"That aside, it's going to be hard to go to the human world, much less find the right witch. Maybe if we can get permission, but that's gonna be hard too. Plus it's your first day, that's gonna be suspicious," Levi pondered for a bit, then snapped his fingers, "I'll have to figure something out. We'll talk more tomorrow. If I can't figure anything else, we're sticking by my original plan, like it or not."

"Ok, sure. Um by the way… Witches? They exist?"

Levi looked annoyed.

Looks like I've still got a ways to go.

After a long discussion with Levi, I finally had the chance to go to my room. It's very… pink. A bed with fluffy pillows with various pink accents, a desk, a closet, some house plants, and well so on. And a lamp that gives out a pinkish warm light.

…

Eh, whatever. I'm just gonna finally get some shut-eye... I felt my eyes grow heavy as I plopped myself into the soft bed. It didn't take me long to fall asleep.

That night I dreamt of my family again. Only they didn't recognize me. They mourned for me and held my funeral as I stood there. It was surreal.

Because I didn't get a full good night's sleep, I barely woke up in time in the morning. I had to attend the academy. It's weird though, I gazed out my window and it didn't look like anything changed. Looks like the Devildom doesn't get sunlight?

Wait.

I gotta go to school?!

I know they said something about exchange students but it didn't even register to me that that meant I gotta go to school, I mean I know I didn't finish college yet for my degree but still! Do RAD credits even transfer?!

Ah wait. I'm a different person right now. It doesn't even matter anymore! Why do I gotta go to school, I died already, maaaan!

Ok, just stay calm. I'm gonna go to school where demons can kill or eat me. I'll need to pack up some protective gear. What do I have?

I opened my luggage to find underwear, skirts, shirts, some socks, and other unmentionables. I unzipped another compartment and it had snacks and candy. I unzipped another pocket and it had a small brown pocket wallet.

Huh. During the short time I was in this body it never occurred to me that I would have a wallet, most likely with an ID… Maybe it'd give me a clue at least on what's going on here.

I unzipped the small wallet and struggled to get the cards out. Damn, women wallets suck, no freakin' room to fit any of my fingers at all. Finally I painfully got the cards out one by one.

Ok, so I had a coffee voucher card, a boba stamp card, a credit card, a bank card, a grocery store gift card, and a photo ID. I blinked. There was a smiling photo of my new body. I didn't even remember taking this picture. In the name line was my name, Kaname. The birthday listed was... The same as mine…

Wait…

"Morning Kaname! Your beginner Akuzon package came, I'm going to leave it at your door, ok~? Hurry up so we can go to school together!" chirped a very cheerful voice from the door that I can only assume is the Lust demon guy, Asmodeus.

I scrambled quickly to drag the huge package in. It was actually pretty heavy! I didn't remember ordering anything, but I guess that Lucifer guy ordered it for me? I opened it to find ramen, suspicious looking apples, apple pies, pizza, burgers, cupcakes, cold sushi, a steaming hot cup of coffee, candy lollipops, tissues, questionable vials, some books and… A whip. A WHIP. WHAT THE FUCK?!

I'm not a freakin' high school girl.

I'm a 20 year old WOMAN.

I stared back into the Akuzon box in horror.

There were five whips. FIVE!

A 20 year old woman who's going to school where demons can eat or kill her and her only weapons are questionable food and some whips.

My hands were shaking so much I barely could keep up.

Is my only hope for survival to be a freakin' dominatrix or something? Actually could a whip even be effective?! And what's with the food?! There's even sushi here, wouldn't it go bad?!

Maybe I could just throw pocket tissues at demons when they're attacking me, that'll show them right? Ha ha ha… What's with my life…?

I picked up one of the questionable looking apples. It had some purplish green goo on it with a skull-like face.

"I wouldn't eat that if I were you."

I turned my head to see Satan at the door leaning against the frame smiling.

"That apple in particular is poisonous to humans, but Lucifer loooooves it," the blond demon snickered. Then he pointed at the clock in my room, "You should get ready and grab breakfast before Beel gets to it."

"Ah… Ok."

"I'll see you at the dining hall then."

I nodded slowly.

Damn, this is nuts.

"Actually… If you don't mind, could I have one of those pies?" Satan pointed at my stash.

I rummaged through the box and handed him one slice of an apple pie.

The Avatar of Wrath grinned clearly looking very pleased, "Thanks. I'll be sure to return the favor. This'll be part of my lunch," with that said, Satan graciously shut my door after waving cooly and left down the hall.

I pulled my pink black hair in frustration and clawed at my scalp trying to make sense of things once again. This was all too crazy. Somehow I'm in the body of a woman who just so happens to have the same name as me and the exact same birthday. How does that even work?!

My door was knocked again.

"Who is it, I'm busy!" I called out.

"Like hell you're busy! What's taking you so long? Lucifer's gonna have my head if he doesn't see me with you!"

Oh it's Mammon. So NOW he decided to come back since he'd get in trouble. Come to think of it, why couldn't Levi just ask Lucifer to demand Mammon give him back his money? That'd work, right?

"You know what, human? I'm gonna be back. The next time I'm here, you better be ready, got it?!"

"Ok, ok, sheesh," I called back.

Guess I better get dressed. Before I could though, once again there was knocking at my door.

I sighed.

"Yes?" I called out.

"It's me, the Lord of Shadow. Henry the second, you remember the plan?"

"Um… Yeah."

"Good."

"Question, Levi."

"What is it? Hurry."

"Why couldn't we ask Lucifer to just get Mammon to give back the money?"

"Because Lucifer will likely say no saying I took a risk lending Mammon money in the first place."

"Seriously?"

"Seriously. I mean there's always the chance that he'll agree and beat up Mammon because that's one of his favorite pastimes but I wouldn't be surprised if he said no either, just for the sake of pride and stuff, like I should know better," Levi let out a pitiful sound of sadness.

"Yeah, I get it. What if I ask him though?"

"Erm human, I don't think you understand… If you go to Lucifer to directly have Mammon return the money, he'd probably help you out sure, but he'd probably throw some crazy strings attached. So don't."

"Yikes."

"Yikes indeed, Henry the second."

"Alright, well thanks… I'll follow the plan."

"Ok good."

I heard something heavy drop in front of my door.

"I got these for you. D-don't misunderstand, it's not like there's anything special about it, it's for research since you're a normie and all and need training."

A few minutes later, he was gone.

I shuffled to the door and looked down. It was a box filled with manga and dvds. Nice! Levi's not so bad after all.

I then stared at the luggage again. Um wait, so girls wear not only underwear but bras… I stared at the simple cloth and picked it up by the straps. I felt my face start to grow heated. This felt really wrong.

Again knocking.

"Uh, yes?"

"Have you finished preparations for school? I just wanted to check in with you since it is your first day," said the muffled voice from the door.

"Oh, Lucifer!"

Great timing. I wanted to ask him about Mammon, but remembering Levi's warning, decided to hold off on it.

"Yeah, I just need to get dressed and I'll be ready. You know, uh, girl stuff… And all…?" Shit, I'm not good at this. I'm not good at being a girl at all.

I heard a muffled chuckle from the door.

Shit he thought it was funny? Dude, you try being a woman sometime, this shit's HARD.

"Very well, I shall leave you to your daily regimen then."

I still hear chuckling long after he left.

I sighed. Ok, back to this… Bra… I gingerly picked up the piece of lingerie by the straps and stared at it. I mean there's the cup parts, that's pretty straightforward, but what do I do about those hook things? Do they hook onto the straps? I shook my head. No that doesn't sound right. It's not like I'm unfamiliar with bras since I have a sister and all but I never saw her put it on. And I didn't exactly have to wear one, ok? I was, and am, still a guy, ok?

I could feel my soul shattering inside all while I'm trying to reassure myself.

More knocking. Joy.

"Yes?" I called out nervously.

"Um… You should hurry and eat… I'm really hungry and might eat everything, including your share."

Oh, this must've been Beelzebub giving me a warning. He's the Avatar of Gluttony, right?

I heard loud rumblings from the door. Holy shit, who unleashed the portal to hell?

"Sorry, that was my stomach," Beelzebub said from the door bashfully.

I laughed somewhat awkwardly, "Uh, you go on ahead, I'll catch up in a minute."

"Ok. Please hurry soon."

I could hear his heavy footsteps trud away down the hall. I knew he was a pretty big guy but damn. I'm pretty jealous.

Shaking my head, I decided to skip on the bra and rummage through my luggage. I'll figure that bra stuff later. I then quickly struggled into the RAD uniform. Does everyone have to wear the puffy sleeves and stuff? I felt pretty itchy, but with the jacket and stuff, it's pretty much hiding the fact that I don't have a bra on, so this works? Tugging up my black skirt, I sighed and reminded myself with the mantra, 'Kilts exist, kilts exist, kiltskiltskilts…'

Once more knocking on my door. This time super loud.

"Oi, human! Hurry up, we're gonna get breakfast!"

I trudged through and opened my door to face Mammon who immediately hoisted me over his shoulder like a caveman with a grin.

Just like yesterday.

Oh shit.

"H-hey!"

"Let's gooooo!"

"Noooooooooooooo!"

That morning, I barely could eat my food. Beelzebub ate the rest.

I don't wanna go to school today.
