AN: I have no excuse. But if I have to give one is that I'm not motivated to do so. Sorry to those who have been waiting. I may redo the cover for the fic since I am NOT happy with it.
Replies are below.
Either his ability to hide his demonic aura increase or Hilda's ability had somehow deteriorated, which he highly doubt about, but it can't possibly be the former possibility.
"Haa? Who are you? And who the hell are you calling gutter-trash?!" Oga practically growled at the woman standing on the study table. Reality doesn't seem to register in Oga's head that people don't just enter through the window on the 2nd floor.
"Springing up here all of the sudden, idiot." He continue, then points at Hilda. "Anyway get down from there, and take off your shoes. Acting like you're top shit in someone else's house." Or so Oga lectures… This isn't even his house, what is he so worked up about…
Hilda ignores the comment and smirks in reply, and a vein show up in Oga's temple. Getting off the table she opens her arms, while smiling motherly towards Beel. "Here young master, let's go. Hilda's come to welcome you."
Beel who is still clinging to Oga, turn his head away from her and clutching more tightly onto Oga, rejected her with a "Da!" It would have been funny to Furuichi, he really hasn't changed, if Hilda hadn't frozen in shock from the rejection.
Oga chuckle evilly as if he's win the lottery, "He hates you."
Hilda is not one to give up when it comes to Beel. "Um… Young master? Come, let's go." She continued in denial, trying to pry Beel off by force resulting in Beel grabbing harder onto the shirt. "Please let go of that… Young master!" Not even bothering to consider Oga a person huh?
"This is your loss!" Oga chuckling has cease to stop, and he seems to basks in the struggling look on Hilda's face as she is trying to pull with all her might while not hurting Beel. Oga's seem to be forgetting something as well, it wouldn't be nice if his friend didn't remind him.
"Oga, she came to take him away. May I ask why are not doing what you have been trying to do for the past hour?" Furuichi stated nonchalantly from the sides, sitting on his sofa one leg over the other, on the other side of the room, sipping from the tea cup that Oga had brought up here, no point wasting good tea anyway. Plus, it isn't that he don't care that he's sitting at this distance, his eyes focusing on the baby.
"What the hell are looking to proud for?" then the silver haired' words finally registered. "Then why the hell aren't you helping?!"
"DAAAAA!" Beel let out a cry including his famous electric currents along with it. Good thing he close his eyes just in time when he was drinking and a safe distance away. While the same could not be said for Hilda and Oga, who got full brunt of the high voltage though. The two let a yell from the pain, confusion and disbelief also registered on Oga's face. Looks like there is also a limit on how ridiculous a situation can get for Oga to have that look.
After a while of calming Hilda down enough for a negotiation, leading a stunned Oga to sit by the table and getting another cup of tea for Hilda. They can finally have a civilised conversation.
"I apologize." Hilda said, head bowed while sitting seiza style, her black laced boots to her side. She seem more apologetic for not being able to prevent Beel's crying instead of for hurting Oga. A moment of hesitation, "…I am serving as that baby's demon maid. I am called Hildegarde."
Well, since he did know who Hilda is so his reaction may not be big but Oga actually have this serious look on his face. Furuichi can practically see the bad example of a demon drawing appear in Oga's head. Surprisingly most of the demon have an appearance of a human, adding a few distinguished features for some of the different species.
"And the child is the one who can become our, Demon kinds, king. His name is Kaiser de Emperana Beelzebub IV." All in a very serious tone, which would have been very funny in Furuichi's point of view if he didn't know the existence of Demons.
"In other words, this child is the Devil King."
Oga's face lost its composure for a moment and then he starts laughing. "Heh, hehe. If that's how it is…" He's completely lost it… Furuichi could kind of pity Oga.
Wait, seriously? There's demons and demon king? She said Demon King!
I'm sure it's all explained already. Weren't you listening? For some reason or another the both of them can almost communicate telepathically. More like being able to guess what each other is thinking without the other speaking but that's not important right now. Oga is having a breakdown and Furuichi have to prevent the deterioration of Oga's brain. Furuichi also want to prevent his friend from being expose to the Demons if he could, adding more problems into the mix before even resolving one is not the way to do things.
"Um, Hilda-san was it?" If she doesn't recognise him, no point bringing it up. "Thanks for the explanation we'll leave it at that." Oga was agreeing beside him. "I apologize for bringing the kid back home but we'll return him to you…"
"No, that's impossible." Oga isn't satisfied with this answer, but he's a little wary of what will come out of Hilda's mouth.
"If you'd like to know why. Then you have been chosen," She points at Oga, "As the Demon King's parent." For the first time since Furuichi come to the human world, Oga seem to have his world crash on him upon the words.
"I will destroy the humans starting tomorrow." Came out of nowhere as he was playing games in front of 9 flat screen TVs in the meeting room.
"They are kinda ya know? Annoying. They increase too much, I can just feel it. Getting rid of them all would be refreshing." Stating with detachment, all his attention on the screen, noting the 16 combo he have just achieve.
"But, Great Demon Lord, tomorrow is the Hell Dragon King's wedding…" answer the council who is in charge of the king's schedule. He really wanted the king to rethink on the idea but the two person who he would listen to is not living in the castle currently.
"Seriously?" The king let out an undignified whine. "Then the day after tomorrow! Definitely starting the day after tomorrow!"
"The day after tomorrow is the large 'Hell Chupacabra Searching' bus tour." The council calmly reply, no point exciting the king.
"Eh? I'm super busy with work…" His fingers smashing away on the controller trying to beat the newest high score Dew has made last week. At this moment Hilda walk in with the King's drink.
"Aaah, fine I give up! I'll let him take care of them, my son who was born earlier. Hilda!"
"Yes?"
"Take him to the Human world, and then while raising him to be an acceptable human, destroy!" Some of the demon in the room could not tell if the last world is for the mission or the game as he defeated the opponent.
"And that's how it is." Hilda finished, taking a drink offered by Furuichi. "This tea is really good." She complemented.
"Thank you, you're too kind." Furuichi smiled back, like they are having a normal afternoon tea where they did not just discover that the Demon King wanted to destroy the human world and sent his son to do it. All the while ignoring Oga's traumatised look. He'll get over it… He thought. More importantly, looks like I will have to take a personal trip back to Hell if father don't keep his part of the deal. Furuichi only agreed to do most of the paperwork for his father in exchange for not making things difficult for the council.
"Don't joke around! What do you mean the Demon King's parent!?" Oga's finally lost it. "Just because this kid kinda likes me!? Don't screw with me! Like I care about something like that! I'll never do anything like that!" Not that Furuichi can blame his reaction to it.
"In other words, you refuse." Hilda is quite calm about that… This doesn't look good.
"Friggin' course! Quickly take it back!" Oga literally smash Beel on the table when he stand in anger. If Beel was hurt from the action and Oga wasn't his friend, Furuichi will beat the hell out of the guy for being rough with his younger brother… And that is a promise.
"Is that so… I'm so happy" Hilda place the empty cup on the table, a smile on her face. "Well then, please die." Furuichi knew she look too happy, no one rejects Beel in her opinion so… Furuichi was not counting on his room getting away in one piece as Hilda draws her blade out of her parasol. Good thing the both of them were the only ones in the house
So what happen next was completely out of what Furuichi foresight. How the hell did he end up getting carried by Oga… And with Beel clinging onto his and Oga's shirt as Oga run away from his house, from Hilda.
"Oga, what the hell?! I'm making you pay for the damage."
"Furuichi, calm down." You're the one who needs to calm down… "Now's not the time to care about that!" Oga was more worried about Furuichi getting caught in the situation than himself getting hurt.
"I can run by myself you know!"
"Bull-shit! Like hell you can run with that stupid illness of yours." Then why the hell didn't you think of that when you make me run up a hill with you just to buy a yakisoba bread!?
"Just put me down! If you haven't noticed, Beel is still clinging onto you."
"Huh, what are you…? OH MY GOD!" Oga quickly put down Furuichi when they hit a cross road and try to put off Beel by the legs who was clinging on the back his shirt tightly. "I can't get away from it!"
This is one amazing sight… He could see Oga's arms tremble that the awkward position and force he put into pulling Beel.
"Give up." Hilda's voice travelled from above the utility pole, "Do you think you can run away from a demon?" There's no denying that menace behind the tone, as she glared at them.
"Shuddap! Just stay up there for the rest of your life!" The flames of Hilda flared even brighter at the statement, Furuichi can even see a vein now.
He just silently follow Oga as he run away from her. Then he heard Hilda call for her favourite mode of transportation. A giant bird named AK-Baba land in front of the two of them, make that three if you count Beel still hanging onto the shirt. The bird seem to have recognise him because the creature only growl at Oga, but then without even stopping from the run. Oga just kick down AK-Baba with his full force which cause enough damage for the giant bird to back down. Both the creature and Hilda is shock that a human could do something to this extent, to Furuichi it's something normal. As always, there's no hesitation… Furuichi pity AK-Baba.
"What are you doing? Hurry up!" Oga call for the silverette, who was just staring at the bird in pity.
"You know, this is the reason why people wants to pick a fight with."
"Shut it! First to strike wins." Beel's eyes are practically shining at the violence.
When they reach the transmission tower, Oga finally stop running. Thinking that with this distance it should be okay, but Furuichi knew otherwise. Hilda has her blade to Oga's face as soon as Oga stood straight, recovering from his pants.
"You… You were planning this from the beginning weren't you?" Oga face his attacker.
"I'm so happy you refused." Hilda said as she press her blade to Oga's cheeks, enough pressure to draw blood. Which drips onto Beel who was still on his back. Furuichi hope the delinquents nearby know better to attack Oga right now, considering Beel expression.
And Hilda seem to notice it too, sparks flicker as tears pool in Beel's eyes. When he finally let out a loud wail. A pillar of electric current appear just where Oga was standing. Furuichi and Hilda dodge just in time before the current reached them. Hilda was in shock. (Pun not intended)
"Wai- Young master! Don't cause trouble for Dada!" Now Furuichi knows Hilda's in distress enough for her to acknowledge Oga as Beel's human father at this point.
Furuichi holds Hilda back by her arm when she wants to get closer to the ball of electric. Birds in the surrounding are electrocuted, fences and poles nearby are getting destroyed and people are starting to notice the disturbance. This isn't good…
"S-Stopping this is impossible…This level… This level of crying…" Hilda is frozen stiff at the situation that is out of her control.
Oga you better come through for me… Despite Furuichi prefer for it to not happen, but he will not deny that Oga is a perfect candidate for being Beel's human father. Furuichi was prepared to go in that current to stop Beel's crying if something happens to Oga. Then again, when has Oga ever disappoint him?
The electric currents stop, and in the middle of it Oga, sitting cross-legged, has his hand on Beel.
"Men, don't freak out crying. You'll be made fun of." While saying this, Oga's thoughts are on a certain silverette as well. Oga has never once saw the strongest person he knew cry. The silverette in question only smile in pride of his best friend and younger brother. Stopping Beel's crying used to be a long progress. Hilda who was next to him never move, she still couldn't comprehend the fact that a mere human can stop Beel's crying. Furuichi can hear the gears turning in Hilda's head after the shock wears off.
"Alright no more crying." Oga try to walk away from Beel, but like the stubborn baby he is, he follow. "Hey hey, no more following me."
People who are watching cried in alarm, the transmission tower's leg which was destroyed during the wailing is damaged and the thing is falling towards Beel. Oga who noticed the danger sped to Beel, Furuichi as well dash at his full speed without restrain towards Beel and reach the same time Oga does. The fact that Beel was in danger and what just happened made Hilda reaction time lag.
"YOUNG MASTER!"
Oga has full intention of shielding the baby from the tower but the fact that his best friend was suddenly by his side, in range of the falling tower, kicked on his instinct to destroy the danger instead. He felt energy surge through him from Beel and he let out a blast of energy, destroying his surroundings. He complete missed the barrier that was created by Furuichi which blends into the attack so that it's not noticeable. And because Oga has no intention of letting Furuichi getting hurt and Beel is close to Furuichi, the energy didn't even graze Furuichi's skin.
The falling tower disappeared, and Oga passed out from not being used to demon powers surging through his body as catalyse and the high amount of power. Furuichi catch Oga just in time before he falls to the ground.
"Yare yare, just when I was about to complement you for doing the impossible and something nice." Letting demon power use your body as catalyse is not easy and dangerous as well. For Oga to use this much power and on the first time without dying is something not a regular human can do. Holding up Oga by the shoulder, he calls Hilda to pick up Beel. Hilda kept quiet throughout the way to Oga's house.
"So? Why are you complaining to me? You're lucky I'm not asking you to pay for the damage on my house." Not that his family is poor mind you, since studying the economics of the human world Furuichi has been playing with stock markets. After managing the economics of the whole of Hell, courtesy of his father, Furuichi has no problem earning millions per day. "Normally people would be happy that a girl like Hilda is living with them." That was blatant lie and Furuichi knew it, no normal people would want to live with a demon, in this case 'demons'.
"My life is on the line here!" Furuichi kept silent on the matter, Oga glare at Furuichi cursing him in his mind.
"Cursing me will not change a thing you know." Furuichi pick up his red bean bun, taking a bite.
"If I stray too far away from this guy, I could die! Anything beyond 15 meters! I could never get rid of him." Nothing Furuichi doesn't know but Oga just chalk it up to Furuichi's genius arrogance for the lack of reaction. Now that he think about it, Furuichi seem to be quite okay with the situation. And that annoyed Oga…
"So that's why you bring him to school?" Furuichi takes Beel from Oga, placing him on his lap and gave him the carton of milk that he knew they would need when Beel is hungry. Nothing was wrong in this picture… Oga snaps and grabs his best friend in choke hold.
"Don't act as if this doesn't concern you damn it!"
Beel ignore his two guardians in favour of the cricket hopping nearby. Then the other students show up. Furuichi escape the choke hold, slaps Oga over the head and points towards the delinquents holding his brother.
And Oga who finally notice the increasing distance between him and Beel panics. "This distance…13, no wait. 14.5 meters!" Oga frantically determines the distance then toward the pooling of tears in the delinquent arm. He shout out, "Don't move!"
"Don't move a step further away! You move and I'll kill you!" All the while leaking a serious killing aura enough to scare the delinquents sweaty even though they thought they have the advantage. 'How many meters do I've got, damn it!' Furuichi was perfectly comfortable watching from behind the scene as long as Beel doesn't get hurt or Oga is not in danger of dying.
Second year delinquents suddenly gathers around them. Furuichi guess they'd have to show up sooner or later seeing as Oga is getting quite famous in this school… The two headed dragon Sanada Ryuuichi and Ryuuji, Killer Machine Abe and Good Night Shimokawa huh? Because of the appearance of second year, the first year whose name Furuichi can't even bother remembering back away even more.
"Oi, you jerks! Stick closer!" Can't have them electrocuting him before he can beat the others up plus, Furuichi is nearby as well… Although, Oga promises to hit the silverette for nonchalantly eating his bread when he is in danger.
"Yes!" they moved closer to the pair.
"I'm headin' out!"
"Have a nice day!" The delinquents reply in responds to Oga's statement. Is this some sort of comedy act…?
Taking out Abe and Shimokawa by an inch away from 15 meters is quite the feat. And while Oga is doing that, Furuichi casually took Beel away from the three first year and give him the carton of milk after he inserts the straw for Beel. Using his free hand that isn't holding Beel he continues to drink his juice. A lunch and a show huh…?
The three first year is surprised at Oga being so strong despite being the same age as them and even more surprise that the baby squealed in happiness at the violent while the person dubbed 'Underground Prince', is holding the baby acting like this is just a walk in the park. Now they know first-hand why they are called 'Mad Dog Oga' and 'Prince Furuichi', they are living up to their name… (The mad dog that attacks merciless and the 'untouchable' prince)
"I'm home!" Oga turn to punch the first years.
"Welcome home!"
As soon as they run off Oga's glare is more focused to Beel. He points at him, "Next time you make off alone like that I'll stomp you flat!" Beel cheered at the threat. If Furuichi didn't know any better, he'd say Oga actually cared for the so called 'nuisance', fortunately for him, Furuichi know better so he kept his mouth shut.
When Beel tries to jump towards Oga, on instinct, he evades. Causing Beel to fall to the ground… Furuichi was walking through the door leading to the building in seconds, leaving Oga to his fate.
"Oi, Oga… Why the hell do I still have to stay at your house for?!" He still have 2 boxes of paperwork to complete, and the deadline is this weekend. With all the dragging Oga has bring him in at the Beel situation hasn't given him much time to do the documents. He was supposed to be at home right now doing them, not kidnapped by a dimensional transfer demon who look like Freddie Mercury… (AN: I'm not kidding, you should look it up)
Oga's family is still quite a mystery to him… but considering that they are related, it's not surprising that they can get used to the fact of unusual things faster than any normal human. Plus, where did they get the idea of Oga 'cheating' on him anyway?
A few hours earlier…
"So why have you kidnapped me? Alaindelon-san is it?" Furuichi stare at the muscular demon unimpressed, his arms crossed to show his displeasure at the situation.
"Just Alaindelon, Furuichi-dono." Alaindelon bow to Furuichi, the silverette raise an eyebrow at the formality. If Hilda didn't find out, then how did he? "I have learned that Furuichi-dono is Oga-san's best friend so I'd thought he would need the encouragement from you." Well, that explains a lot.
When he went in, Oga was trying to stop Hilda from entering the house. Since she wants to introduce Beel as the child of Oga's she had to do it the polite way. Can't blow the wall down just to get inside, because that would be a bad impression…
"What are you doing?"
"Oh Furuichi! Good timing, help me stop is stupid woman from entering my house! Just the brat is bad enough!"
"It's only polite we introduce your family about us, young master and I are going to live here from now on since you're his father." Furuichi can hear the misunderstanding in the statement already.
Ignoring the three, counting Beel, Furuichi walk down the hallway and into the living room. Furuichi pretend he didn't hear Oga cursing and promising to hit him.
"Taka-chan! Welcome, why don't you stay for dinner?" Greeted Misaki, although Furuichi doesn't remember anything about her but she readily accepts him when he 'appear' at Oga's house. He dug up what he can find about her and he determine that she was a demon just like her brother.
"I'm not sure if I'll stay that long but thanks for the offer. Do you need help with that oku-san?"
"Thank you, it alright. We're practically family." At that moment, Furuichi thought that this family was just very friendly but then there seem to be something he missed about their attitude towards him…
Hilda manage to break Oga's defence, when she entered she immediately sit in seiza style and her head bowed, with Beel by her side.
"Starting today, this baby and I will be living here in your care. My name is Hildegarde. Please think of me as your new daughter."
"Whoa, hold it there! Don't you think people might take that the wrong way?" Looks like even Oga can tell that there was something wrong with that phrasing.
"Is there a problem?"
"Hell yeah, there's a problem! Everyone's already frozen in shock!" Furuichi hurry to catch the ladle that Oga's mother has drop from shock and move on into the kitchen to cook the dinner.
"But I heard this is how things are done in this country."
"Who told you that, damn it!" Oga points at Hilda accusingly, as he glare at her in annoyance full force. "Your assumptions are all wrong!"
Just from the statement alone, Furuichi can hear the gears in the family's head turning. By saying 'this country' one would assume she is from another country, it's not wrong per se but it's more of a different world. Plus, this is the first time Oga has brought any girl home and there's a baby…
"I told you already! I haven't accepted that I'm the father yet!" Oga is just digging his own grave… "Furuichi, you believe me right?!" Furuichi could swear that sounded like he was begging him to help.
"Even after all that you did…" Hilda look so proud, probably about how Oga had drawn out Beel's power on the first day. Furuichi notice Oga's father is having a break down. "It was amazing."
"TASUMI! A bastard like you doing those kind of things to a beauty like her, and you still refuse to accept her even after you got a kid?"
"Oi, idiot brother fooling around when you have a boyfriend like Furuichi! Have you no shame?" Okay that was an unexpected outcome… Furuichi also froze from the statement. "Look! Even Taka-chan shock at your disloyalty!" Where the hell did they come with that conclusion?!
"W-Wait that's not it…" he seems to finally realise his mistake. "And what the hell?!"
"What's not it!?" Oga's father continue screaming, "Look at that kid! He yours, no matter how you look at it! He's got your eyes!" Well, even Furuichi won't deny that. The baby pictures of Oga that Misaki had shown him is like looking at Beel without the green hair.
"It does not! Are you blind?!"
"You're right. He looks just like Tatsumi when he was a baby." The mother and Misaki move forward to take a closer look at Beel. Furuichi decide that it is time to go home since he made the finishing touches on the dinner, but got stop by Oga.
"You're not going anywhere until this misunderstanding is cleared!" Misaki swatted his hand away from Furuichi.
"You keep your hands away from Taka-chan."
Being the proud Japanese, Oga's father actually did a slide bow towards Hilda. "Hildegarde-san! Really, let me apologise for my disrespectful son. I will make sure he takes responsibility and raise him! Hey you put your head down too!"
"No the pleasure is all mine, please call me Hilda." Her smile sealed Oga's fate as beel's human father.
"Do me a favour and only call me when there is an emergency." Furuichi's vein is about to appear, something which hadn't happen in a long time.
"This is an emergency!"
"Be quiet, you'll wake the young master." Beel look so peaceful and normal sleeping like that. The nostalgic feeling is really welcoming.
"Looks like you got the future of mankind rest on your shoulder." Furuichi casually comments. Of course Furuichi will help but he can't really tell him that.
Oga broke out in laughter and Alaindelon follow suit. Note to self: watch out of Oga's mental state in the future…
"YOU!"
AN: Not sure if this could be considered an omake but I couldn't find a perfect place to fit it in so here it is... I actually have another omake I wanted to post together in this chapter but I can't seem to get my thoughts organised. I will put it in the next chapter.
Omake:
"I'm so sorry, Halo-sama!"
"Like I said Hilda, you don't have to do this…"
"But I didn't recognize you immediately and I destroyed your room, I sincerely apologize!" Hilda sit in seize style and bow low enough for her head to touch the ground. Furuichi who was sitting cross legged in front of her, sighed.
"No, if I wasn't able to hide even from you then I'd be consider a failure. So don't blame yourself, I wasn't intending on telling you if you didn't recognise me and see how long I can hide it… But this got me curious, when DID you find out about it?"
"After Alaindelon reported to me about the demon world package under your bed, so I investigated Halo-sama." At least Hilda didn't bow her head anymore, he is not used to this side of Hilda.
"It's Furuichi Takayuki here, you can call me however you want from that. Just no 'sama' okay?"
"Alright Furuichi, it will be hard to change it but I will do my best." She reply in a serious tone.
Furuichi chuckled, Hilda really is loyal to the royal family, and she even gave him her respect even though he's adopted. Except maybe for her dislike for En… Better tell her about Oga first before she does any more damage. So he explain everything to her, Hilda is like a sister to him so there no problem talking about it, everything but about Dew. He can't imagine what will happen if she know Dew recognize him at first glance.
"Why does it have to be that uncivilized idiot?" Hilda is fuming that not only Beel has chosen Oga but the person she respects as well. She is determind to make his life difficult if she have the chance. Furuichi has seen the plotting aura too many times to mistake it.
"Forget about that Hilda, since I can't talk about it in front of Oga. Tell me all about Beel progress." Something which Hilda gladly starts talking about. She sounds like a proud mother. Furuichi smiles.
AN: Um... So I may not post in the near future so I apologize in advance, it's been a long time since I've read it and then I found out the anime and manga different from each greatly so I'm having a crisis here.
To suntan140:
I've coloured it as well, thank you for your complement. As for the couple part, I'm still deciding. Thanks for the review and sorry for the late update.
To MessingWithFire:
Or so I thought, I thought it would be easy since everything was planned out in the manga but then I realised it's not how I want it to go... *sigh...* Thanks for the review and sorry for the late update.
To Jarjaxle:
I'm sorry but I'm afraid I don't understand what you meant. I'm slow when it comes to these kind of things. Thanks for the review and sorry for the late update.
To chacra:
Thank you, I'm happy I survived this long as well. I really hope I can get the motivation to write soon. Thanks for the review and sorry for the late update.
To Devlin Dracul: (formerly known as first reviewer)
Thank you, the Black Butler reference just came to mind when I write the cat part. I'm glad you like it. As for the 'Underground Prince' part, I guess I don't have to explain the Prince part but the 'Underground' mean the other side, it's an unspoken name in the school of delinquent. Since Furuichi never fights and yet anyone who wanted to attack him fails and ultimately back off. The Prince part represent the untouchable image itself. I hope I'm not creating more question than answering them. The reaction is coming soon :) If only I can get the motivation to write...
Thanks for the review and soryy for the late update.
To javagirl:
I'm sorry about that, but your review has snap me out of it to at least finish my half way done chapter. Thanks and sorry for the late update.
AN: I am really sorry! But I'm seem to have develop a sleep disorder as soon as the holiday starts, I'm having trouble sleeping and when I do I can sleep for 1 day straight until the day after tomorrow. As a result, I'm cranky to the point that my parents worry. I'm currently trying reduce the stress right now by drawing, and little to no improvements has been made. I will still try to write the next chapter but no promises about it being fast okay? I feel tired just writing right now. Again, sorry to those who have been following this.
