"Welcome back here, Iruma-kun." Don said, calmly. "I heard about what happened, go sit in that chair over there." He then pointed to a chair at his desk. I shakily pulled the chair towards me, at an attempt to sit on it. Once I did Opera sat next to me.

"Now." The Don person said, his voice ringing aloud in my mind. His face looked cold and uncaring, disinterested even. "Lets have some tea! You did so great!" He then unexpectedly said, making me look at him in confusion.

Huh? Is he not going to talk about me running away? And if not, what exactly is he talking about?

I looked at Opera in confusion, who seemed to be in the middle of sighing in annoyance. "The child ran away again." He then said to Don, who seemed to not mind. "Yeah, because you scared my poor boy!" He then defended.

"That doesn't mean he can just run away." Opera then said, seeming pissed at the Don person. I just looked at the two in confusion. I mean, I know this Don person wants me to be his grandson, but im not sure if I should stay here at all. Its nice that hes trying to help me, but at what cost will this be, my freedom?

The Don person smiled happily. "I know, he can't, and we will punish him for that, but that can wait. First we have to celebrate the first victory of my grandson!" He cheered happily, holding 'you go' flag's and waving them around.

From underneath his desk he then got a cake, wich appeared out of litterely nowhere, unless its his drawers wich is really questionable.  Anyways he then got a gigantic knife wich made me flinch and put it on a plate wich he also got from litteral nowhere. Or the shadow dimention.

He served me and Opera a plate, while making sure he also had one. He grabbed some forks from the shadow dimention aswell for some reason, and made us eat the cake whilst he was cheering.

I mean still, why was it in his desk, did he know this was going to happen? Is he some kind of supermind? I mean hes bald but I mean some sort of extremely smart inhuman being? I slightly regret saving him now. Although im also very happy he's still alive.

I slowly took my first bite of cake, desperately hoping he didn't drug it or put anything in it. I chewed on the cake, and was immediately in love with its taste. It was soft and sweet, like my new bed, and clothes.  Maybe being here isn't all that bad.

I happily ate my cake, and noticed the Don person was very happy as well. "Do you like the cake?" He asked, I nodded slightly. I was afraid of being just near him, as his presence was thick and dark, like an oncoming storm, but it had calmed down a bit from the first time we met, because I don't think he wants to hurt me. Yet anyways. Still it doesn't mean his presence isn't absolutely terrifying though.

I finished the cake, and saw that neither Opera or the Don person had finished yet. The Don person stared at me. "Are you hungry, my boy?" He asked. I politely shook my head. It was a lie, I was hungry but he didn't need to know that. He stared at me for a bit longer. "Are you sure?" He asked, I nodded. "You look to be all bones.." He then remarked sadly.

Both Don and Opera finished eating a bit later. The cake probably wasn't poisoned then. I let out a small hum, both from nervousness and from enjoying the cake. Both of the people in this room stared at me curiously, so I stopped moving. Instead I wanted to ask what the punishment was, but that got interrupted by someone knocking on the door. "Come in." Don then yelled.

The Asmodeus person stood there, bandaged up, opening the door in just a split second. I backed a few steps away, feeling too guilty and uncomfortable to face him. "Im very sorry to intrude but I was looking for Iru-" He stopped talking as soon as he saw me, then got on one knee, bowing before me.

I looked at Opera and at the Don person before looking at Asmodeus, confused. "I fought you with an advantage and I still lost to you. On top of that, I heard you brought me to the infirmary, I appreciate it." He said, staring directly at me. "I lost the fight, and the rules here state that the loser of a duel belongs to the winner.." He stopped for a second, his serious manners turning away in seconds.

"Thereby I, Asmodeus Alice formally declare you to be my master!" He smiled. "So what would you like me to do? Master Iruma!" He excitedly asked. The Don person was smiling slyly behind me, like a fox. "I think we all need a second piece of cake!" He exitedly whispered to the Opera person, I awkwardly stood there, with this guy.

"You don't need to do anything!" I said, throwing the idea of me being someones master out the door. "Really you don't, Asmodeus!" I said, stepping back. "Its alright, and just call me Azz! Lets drop the formalities shall we?" He said smiling.

And so I was sat down, served cake along with the othets, left anxiously waiting for the next thing that would happen, the punishment.

But what it would be, would suprise me.
