Chapter 8 - Lunch Chaos

The day passed quickly with nothing much happening.

Pandora took this as a chance to learn about the school, but it was interrupted when lunch came.

"Let's eat, Pandora!" Iruma called out to the blank faced robot as she let what he said sink in.

Iruma was completely oblivious though as he grabbed the menu Clara nabbed.

"So many options!" Before a confused expression spread across his face.

"What's this?" He pointed to an emblem on the menu.

Pandora and Asmodeus looked to what he pointed to, she didn't know so she let him speak.

"That's a rank quest." He answered calmly. "I believe I mentioned this before, but ranks are determined in part by our grades."

"Depending on one's rank, the dishes one can order also change." He said as the group

(-Clara) went to the cafeteria line.

"The items from the cafeteria are free," He then pointed to a stall. "but the stuff from the stall is not."

 It was then that Iruma looked at the food, which to put bluntly, was slime with accents of eyes and uncooked meat.

"You can share food you aren't fond of with me!" Asmodeus smiled as he noticed the distressed Iruma.

Pandora decided that, despite having taste buds and the ability to eat, to skip lunch entirely and headed to the table.

*CRASH*

Pandora hadn't even taken a few seconds to rest before Iruma was buried under 50 plates of 'food'.

"WHAT IS THE MEANING OF THIS!?" Asmodeus obviously complained.

"I-I'm sorry! It's just that he ordered this much!" The worker exclaimed as he ran off.

"Such a childish prank-" Asmodeus cut himself off at the sight before him.

Iruma was at the table that had plates and bowls as clean out of the factory stacked high.

Iruma noticed the stares of the other students and his friends.

"W-was I not supposed to eat these!?"

"Y-you eat quite a lot..." Asmodeus side.

"I'd say that's quite normal." Pandora shrugged, remembering her 'feast' in The Pit.

"I do?" He pointed to himself sheepishly before turning to the students who sent the order. "You can eat as much as you can right? Then can I order some more?"

"The chef collapsed!"

"The honor student is amazing!"

The other students were also surprised by his bluntness.

"Hey." A voice called to Pandora, as she looked like the most responsible of the group. "Take this away."

It was the stall shopkeeper, Mr. Kama Kama, holding a wild Clara with a stick.

"I got to play!" Clara exclaimed as she jumped off the stick and onter Pandora's head and started scrambling around her like a spider before settling with her shoulders.

"Whenever I go to the shop, this mister always plays with me!"

"Not play, threatening." It was then that Iruma and Asmodeus noticed. "You're NOT allowed near my shop!"

"That girl's bloodline magic-" He pulled out a little booklet. "reproduces anything she sees."

"I consider that stealing." He pulled out a spear. "I stab shoplifters with my bamboo spear."

Iruma immediately started sweating on the implications of that statement, whereas Pandora zoned out after Clara started messing with hair.

"SILENCE! Honestly... Just when I get back to work" Kalego shoved himself through the crowd. "Who's the idiot who started thi-"

""Ah-"" Iruma and Kalego locked eyes.

"Sensei! Are you feeling better?" Iruma didn't notice the sheer audacity of that statement.

"YOU'RE THE LAST DEMON I WANT WORRYING ABOUT ME!" Kalego shouted.

"About the other day-"

"Listen here Iruma. I will never stoop to being your familiar." He pointed at him with the intensity of a lunatic. "I'll cut that finger of yours off if you ever get cocky about having me shackled."

" ᵘⁿᵈᵉʳˢᵗᵒᵒᵈ ˢᶦʳ " Iruma squeaked as Kalego took a look to his group.

"What's with all the racket anyway-" He noticed the newcomers of the group, Pandora and Clara, who turned Pandora's hair into a horn shape similar to hers.

"Wh-what's with the new one's?" He pointed and Clara jumped off Pandora, awaking her from her daze, which domino'ed into her hair falling down to the floor.

"Me!?" Clara pointed to herself. "I'm Clara! I got scolden when I went BAAM in that shop over there!"

"But then Azz-Azz gave me snacks! Eggy sensei! Do you like chocolates!?" She started jumping over to him and trying (and failing) to put stuff into his pockets. "I'll put some into your pockets! Kay!"

Loud wild and carefree are the worst match up for him, so-

"I'm leaving." He turned and walked away, but Clara tugged on his coat.

"Eggy sensei! Is it true that you're Iruma-chi's familiar?" She climbed his back. "I wanna see you get summoned!"

"GET OFF!" He obviously objected as Clara pointed to a stick seal from the stall.

"Iruma-chi! Grab that seal!" He followed as Kalego increased his struggle. "Stick it on your hand and go- 'BANZAI'"

"NO-" Unfortunately, Kalego couldn't stop him.

*poof*

A floofy bird appeared in front of Iruma, along with Pandora, completely unchanged.

Clara took this chance to chase Bird-ego as he flew circles above her.

"WHEN I TELL YOU TO STOP, YOU STOP YOU FOOL!"

"I'm sorry!" Iruma cried out.

"Hey! Enough! Clap your hands!" Kalego instructed as Iruma fumbled around.

"Sh-Should I clap in rhythm?"

"IT'S TO CANCEL THE SUMMON YOU MORON!"

"U-um-" Iruma's struggle was interrupted when a spear came from behind him.

"SHOPLIFTERS MUST BE PUNISHED!" Mr. Kama Kama swung again, but was blocked by Pandora.

"Th-Thanks-" Iruma scrambled back on his feet as Pandora held the spear still with her strength alone.

"Shoplif-" Asmodeus was cut off by Mr. Kama Kama.

"DON'T STOP MY JUSTICE! PAY WITH YOUR LIFE!" Mr. Kama Kama took out more spears as he threw them at the group.

So they ran away, leaving a bewilder Kalego and Pandora with him.

"W-WAIT! Undo the summoning fir-" Kalego was caught in a net.

"Pay me." Mr. Kama Kama gave him a death stare.

Kalego looked to Pandora to distract the shopkeeper, but when he looked over, she gave a peace sign and vanished and appeared next to Iruma and co as they layed on the grass and out of breath.

"AAAAAAA!!" The screams of the bird could be heard across the entire school.

"Thank goodness Kalego sensei became a decoy." Asmodeus sighed in relief.

"What about Pandora?" Iruma asked, worried.

"I'm behind you."

"!!!" Her sudden appearance startled Iruma and Asmodeus.

"Let's get ice-scream!" Clara was completely oblibious as she took out the, strangely named, ice cream cones.

"Cheers!" They clinked the ice cream together. "I hope were in the same class!"

"It would be unreasonable for Iruma and I to be separated!" Asmodeus shouted.

"I'm still Iruma's familiar, they can't exactly remove me." Pandora shrugged.

"I can't wait to have classes with you, Iruma-sama." Asmodeus smiled.

"It'll be lots of fun for sure!" Clara laughed. "Right!?"

"The chaos around you is entertaining." Pandora smile as well.

"Ah... Yeah!" Iruma laughed as Clara jumped into his lap.

The group enjoy their ice-screams for a bit until Iruma started fidgeting a little.

"What is it?" Pandora asked, bringing him to attention.

"It's-It's ok for you guys to be called my friends, right!?" He shouted and received blank stares from everyone present.

"???"

"What are friends that you speak of anyways?" Asmodeus asked.

"French fries?" Clara... was being Clara.

"I though you knew from this morning." Pandora looked Asmodeus in the eyes.

"I didn't know, I just went along with Iruma." He looked ashamed.

"So what are these friend you speak of!?" Clara and Asmodeus pounced.

"Uh-um, friends are people that you care about and spend time friends with." Irma blushed. "That would make you guys friend 1, 2, and 3."

"Dibs on number 1!" Clara shouted.

"STOP INTUDING ON US! I'm no doubt number 1!" Asmodeus proclaimed.

And so, the usual ,Iruma caused, chaos ensued once more.
