•Black Sheep• || The Devil is a Part Timer || Urushihara / Lucifer

༺Chapter 6༻

"Whoa, breakfast already?" Aiko got up and walked over to that said table everyone was already sitting around. Chiho and Suzuno were sitting next to each other on one side, Emi was to the right of them, then Maou, and then Ashiya. There was an extra bowl next to Emi, meaning for Aiko to sit beside her.

Just as Emi scooted over, and the younger girl kneeled down to sit, Urushihara's voice echoed throughout the small room.

"Wait. Where the heck am I supposed to sit?"

Maou just pointed to where the computer was. On the small stand in front of said laptop was what looked like a couple of old convenient store pork bowl cups.

"...Not cool, bro." He then aggressively turns around and points at them.

"Unacceptable! You make room for Emi but not for me?!"

"Well she's technically our guest," was Maou's response to the Fallen Angel's temper tantrum.

"And these are the bowls from that stupid take-out place!"

Aiko looked down at her own bowl that she was given. It was a nice, ceramic bowl. It made her frown slightly.

"Bon appétit," Maou starts.

"Bon appétit!" Everyone chimes in, completely forgetting the poor purple-haired boy.

"Screw you!" He responds, before reluctantly plopping down on the floor in front of his laptop. Everyone then grabs their helpings and fills their bowls. Aiko glances over at Urushihara quickly before filling her own bowl with a little helping of food from each plate. She then stands up and gently picks up and cradles the bowl in her hands, turning and walking over to the NEET on the computer.

Everyone immediately stopped eating and stared at the girl in confusion.

She sits her bottom on the floor next to the desk and leans her back against the wall, facing the table she just left.

Thinking nothing of her actions, she dips her chopsticks into the bowl and picks up some noodles. Though before she puts them in her mouth, she looks up and notices all eyes on her. Even Urushihara's.

"Um..."

"What are you doing Miss Aiko?" Chiho questions.

"Why are you sitting over there?" Emi asks next.

"Well, I just, didn't really like the fact that Urushihara had to sit alone. So I'm sitting here to give him some company." She turns her attention to the said boy. "Is that alright, Hara?"

"I told you, don't call me Hara," he picks up some of his own food and eats it.

"I'll take that as a yes!" She gives him a comforting smile.

"Sire, I don't think I truly understand what we are witnessing here," Ashiya whispers a little too loudly to Maou.

"Is it that hard to believe that it's possible for someone to like me?!"

"After what you did, yeah," Maou states nonchalantly with food in his mouth.

"Sire please don't talk with your mouth full, it's not polite."

"Yeah yeah, mom,"

Aiko giggles at the two's interaction.

'It's so surreal how similar my childhood was to Lucifer's situation now. I couldn't just let him sit alone. I couldn't let him be degraded like that, even after what he did...No, stop it Aiko, he is a Demon General, a feared Fallen Angel. He doesn't need your stupid pity.'
