3rd POV

"Y/N! Are you excited for today?! I can't wait to look at the booths and all the foods that we can eat!"

Clara excitedly stated with a bright smile on her face. Y/N can't help but show a small smile and pat Clara's head.

"My Gosh, you're so adorable. I'm glad to see you're excited for today."

Clara blushed at how comforting and warm her friend's hand was. 

"Y-Y/N... H-How about you?! You didn't answer my question!"

Clara then proceeded to escape Y/N's pats and proceeded to hug Y/N tightly while swaying left and right, which her friend also did back and happily swayed with her. On the other side, there was Asmodeus, sulking while setting up the machine with Kirio.

"Oh, I'm sorry to ask and bother you for a bit, Asmo-kun. I really can't lift this machine all by myself, as you can see."

He looked at his senior who was a sweating mess and was breathing a bit harshly. He smiled at his poor senior and commented how it was fine and glad to help as part of the battler. Kirio smiled and thanked him for his help again. After a while, they were finally finished.

"I can't wait for all the things that will happen tonight! I'm going to show the world how much this machine can help everyone! Everything is about to explode!"

Asmodeus saw his senior's face and felt goosebumps. 

"...About to explode? What do you mean, senior?"

"Well, the fireworks! I've also helped them set up!"

Though Asmodeus laughed for the realization, he can't help but not to accept what his senior said was wholeheartedly the truth. He glanced back to the two girls and so Y/n was glaring a bit to the senior.

Ah... Everything clicked for Asmodeus.

I have to protect Y/N. 

Was all he thought, before excusing himself and went to where Y/N and Clara was having a bit of a bicker. 

 At long last, the most-awaited school event has arrived. The Magical Apparatus Battler has finished their project, and it is now the time to showcase their hard work. Throughout the last few months, though Y/n seemed to be getting closer to her senior through sweet and encouraging words, it was just a way to let down his guard and make himself slip up. 

He did, and now Y/N have to make sure nothing will happen. Her senior's comment made her more alert. She asked her familiar to keep an eye on her senior while pretending to only have fun with her friends. While doing so, she planned on checking out her surroundings to make sure nothing is suspicious and would cause hurt or accidents on the school.

[Y/N's POV]

I've tried to trust him. 

Despite his appearance and personality, and him being weak--almost powerless, even, my gut tells me that there is something more to him and I should be wary of him. Being wary made me do my best to try and get to the bottom of the whole thing; as to why he had built this machine. Everything about him and the machine we are trying to complete irks me. Something inside me wanted to make me do EVERYTHING I could from making this machine come to life and be showcased outside, where there will be lots of students that may be harmed. 

While fixing and completing the last few parts of the machine, I decided to strike up a conversation about our personal lives, all the while slowly making my way to subtly ask his motive for building this machine. His answer would be the basis if he could be really trusted or not--in simple words, this would be the last chance to reveal if he is someone I should stop or someone that can be a friend. 

"Though I am now recognized as a Transcendent, back then, I was weak, quiet, and had no choice but to say yes. My worth is conditioned. The love my parents had for me was also conditioned. At first, I did my best to follow all of their rules and do what they said. In the end, my hopes for a genuine love died down, and I'm glad I was away from that place. Knowing that there is a club that wants to help other demons who are weak, I'm starting to gain that feeling of hope that one day, no demons would be bullied and ostracized."

I know that what you have said at first was true, but Master, you're really good at spouting nonsense. 

Thank you, Azeru. You're a very wonderful familiar. So... Have you thought of becoming my husband?

I- Master--

It's wife for you, heh-

Master-

"Thank you for the kind words, Y/N. I agree on what you have said. Though demons have powers, some are weaker compared to others. Some are unfortunate to have none... I included... I was said to be a disgrace and an embarrassment to the family. How shameful and I should have not been born. I, A DISGRACES, HAVE WASTED MY MOTHER'S TEARS AND PAIN AND ONLY TO BE A USELESS DEMON!"

"...I'm so sorry to hear that, senior. I also do not understand why there should be a hierarchy where worth is based on the power a demon has. The struggles... I empathize to all who have suffered from something they do not have control."

Kirio showed a slight smile and stared at me for a little while.

"Thank you, Y/N. I do not want to see and hear people experience being shunned over something so trivial. Why should be discriminate people who did not even choose to be that way. It is very sickening to see people crying over such things. It is very pleasing--I mean sickening to see people feel despair!"

...Sickening, huh? 

Then what the fuck is that smile on your face, senior? Hm?  You also had a slip-of-the-tongue there. Pleasing, you say? The only thing that is sickening here is you. 

"...What will you do with the machine, senior?"

"Well... To show that this machine would help the weaker demons and to be an object of peace and to erase the hierarchy."

"How?"

"By helping the weaker demons of course."

"...How?"

He glared at me and said,

"You asked too much questions, Junior. Help me with the machine or God forbid this won't be completed. I need this to be moving before the festival."

"I'm sorry, senior... I just wanted to ask because I'm deeply interested on learning how to help others..."

That look on your face was very sickening. Me, trying to act pitifully with tears on my eyes, trying to be sad because I made my senior mad, was pleasurable to you. What a sick, sick, demon you are. Worse than a demon, even. You covered that face and made a sad look, and gave me a pat on the back.

"I'm sorry, Y/N. I may have been irritated and very emotional for all the sleepless night I had. Let me make it up to you soon. I'll show you personally and in close how can this machine help. Would you like that?"

"Of course, senior! I want to see how this object of peace could help everyone!"

The smile on your face widen--it was not even pleasant to look at. Some hidden, evil motives was evident on your face. You seem to enjoy watching people fall in despair. 

"That is good, Y/n. I, too, wish to use this as a machine to destroy the hierarchy and--"

As he was talking, Clara and Asmodeus showed up unannounced and was completely loud while making us notice their presence. I was not able to hear what Kirio had said,  but I was glad I was watching his mouth.

The last word I could make out of while reading his lips was the word,

Destroy.
