The teacher:*hands y/n a baby with a dark complexion*

Ace: you have some explaining to do.

Y/n: oh I’m so sorry you had to find out this way! Me and my lawyer Jack have been having an affair!

Jack: *holding his and Epel’s doll* what?!

Epel: JACK HOW COULD YOU!

The teacher: please have your family drama out of my classroom….

Month 4

break it down, MC!

“MC-”

“I want to meet Belphegor.”

Diavolo opened his mouth to protest but met eyes with Barbatos who shook his head slightly in response. 

“...Alright.”

The haggard expression on MC’s face surprised Diavolo and he took notice of Barbatos’s jacket covering the front of MC’s body. He had an inkling that something major had happened, and he felt disturbed by that fact.

“Solomon, you stay here. This is a matter involving the brothers and me.”

Solomon quirked an eyebrow at MC’s expression which seemed like they had eaten a sour fruit, and their hands that seemed to be quivering. He finally landed on a response that seemed okay to say. 

“Are you sure?”

“Absolutely.”

“Alright then. I’ll wait here for you.”

“Thank you.” MC muttered out in response and turned to walk. There was no sound of footsteps behind them.

“Is nobody going to lead the way?”

Satan could practically feel the green aura radiating off MC. He had never seen them this angry before. MC was always kind and mellow. Although they had gotten angry a couple of times, the wrath felt from them back then was incomparable to the MC in front of him. 

He opened his mouth to speak but decided against it. Even to the blind, the wrath radiating off MC was palpable, there was no need to mention it out loud. The question of what happened was on everyone’s mind.

The silence was deafening and nobody dared to speak what was on their mind. The walk to the cell felt excruciating and finally, the prison door came into view.

“Open the door.”

Barbatos paused in his movement and questioned.

“Are you sure?”

“Don’t worry. If I wasn’t sure that Belphegor wasn’t a threat, I wouldn’t have made my way down here.”

Barbatos then turned to look at Diavolo for confirmation who nodded in response. The prison cell opened with a screeching noise.

Belphegor was still sleeping.

“Wake up.”

“Avatar of Sloth, Belphegor. Wake up now.”

He finally shook awake and met the stares of everyone.

MC bent down to eye level. For some reason, Belphegor could not utter a word to their face.

“I met Lilith.”

“What?”

“I met Lilith. She gave me her powers.”

“Wait, what do you mean by that-”

MC shrugged off the jacket which had been covering the front of their body.

“I was also the one who opened the attic door, with Lilith’s blessing.”

Belphegor’s eyes instantly zeroed on the wound on MC’s chest.

Blood…

“You did this.” There was only finality in their tone.

Without a hint of doubt, Belphegor had already came to that conclusion by himself. His eyes widened and his mouth started to open around an apology.

“I don’t blame you.”

“You… don’t blame me?” His voice was wavering and he stuttered, eyes darting to find any indication of lie in MC’s eyes. 

MC suddenly stood up and there was a gasp in the silence that followed.

“M-MC, y-your chest-”

Mammon said, already ready to dash over to MC to check on the wound.

“Stay.”

There was no power and no invocation behind the word, yet Mammon felt compiled to stay rooted to the spot.

“Your leader failed you.”

Diavolo's eyes widened in shock.

“Lucifer failed you too.”

Lucifer couldn’t say anything because he knew that MC was right.

“However, I still don’t forgive you. I recognise the circumstances that led to this. But… I can’t forgive you. Not for my sake.”

“Diavolo shouldn’t have just shut you down without hearing you out. This kind of management will only breed contempt and in the long run, who would trust a leader that does not listen to their people?”

“Lucifer should have talked to you, you trusted him to help you out. He shouldn’t have forced you to be locked up. In the end, the outcome turned out the same. You still ended up here for treason.”

After speaking so much, MC suddenly paused and a wave of exhaustion suddenly seemed to hit them.

I’m tired. Why do I have to constantly forgive and be okay with it?

“I’m tired. I’m tired of everything. I didn’t consent to being sent down to the Devildom. I hate being in survival mode. I hate that things were finally looking up for me and then I was sent here and it restarted everything. Every single one of you guys are assholes. I hate the fact that I could die at any moment at just the whim of anything. I hate being threatened for every small single thing I did. Goddamnit. I hate feeling like this and walking on eggshells every single minute. I didn’t even want to be part of this. I just wanted to mind my own fucking business and survive the year but I was practically forced to help. I didnt want to help anyone when I can’t even help myself.”

The brothers listened in complete silence and MC could practically feel the guilt radiating off them but you didn’t care. The brothers already knew that MC was dealing with so much of their family problems but none of them had stopped to think about the burden it had been to MC. The brothers began feeling even guilter as they noticed MC rubbing their eyes to stop the angry tears from leaking out.

MC continued to furiously rubbed their eyes before suddenly turning to address Diavolo.

“Are you going to kill me for treason too?”

“What? No!” 

“Okay, then release Belphegor.”

“He tried to kill you.”

“He tried to, in another timeline. Not this. So it doesn’t count. The only thing he did was to speak out in opposition to your orders in this reality. If I am not getting convicted of treason, neither should he. Besides, I found out who opened the door, which means to say I upheld our deal.”

“...Alright.”

“Let’s go back up. It’s depressing to stay here.” And with that, MC turned to leave.

No one stopped you but they took a second before trailing behind you.

MC took out their D.D.D.

[MC: Can I stay at Purgatory Hall for a while?]

The text bubble appeared and disappeared a couple of times before MC received a reply.

[Solomon: I’ll let Simeon and Luke know. Would you require anything special?]

[MC: Could you please let Simeon know that I require his healing power? Nothing major, just a surface-level wound but currently, I would feel better if Simeon healed me.]

The message was quickly read but no reply came after a few seconds so MC put the D.D.D back into their pocket.

On the walk back up, Barbatos quietly caught up to MC.

“We will provide medical attention for you once we are back up.” MC just shook their head slightly and continued walking without a single word.

Once up, Barbatos tried to gently direct MC away to provide medical attention but they stood rooted to the spot.

“I want to stay at Purgatory Hall.” It wasn’t much of a question but the daring look in MC’s eyes seemed to challenge anyone who would oppose to their request.

“Of course, we will prepare the amenities for your stay there.” Diavolo seemed like he was expecting this and he gestured for Barbatos to leave you alone.

“...Thank you.” You hadn’t expect them to reject your request but you still felt a sigh of relief when it was granted. It seemed like you really needed a break.

“I’ll leave first.” You turned to leave to find Solomon in the foyer but after a couple of steps, you hesitantly turned back.

“Lucifer. Please talk with Belphegor about Lilith and everything else. No more hiding things between brothers.”

“Lord Diavolo, I am sorry about speaking out of turn and I will send you a report detailing the experience of the other timeline as soon as I can.” Even in times like this, you were still ever so cool-headed and calm about everything.

With that said, you walked off quickly to the foyer to find Solomon.

a/n:

hello obey me fandom, this is my offering (aka word vomit that i wrote in an hr because i was so pissed at everyone in the game). for context, it happened a little differently from the OG game. in this particular piece, MC asked for more time to prepare before going into the alternate reality and asked solomon for help to borrow his magic powers and learnt how to cast a invisibility spell. as MC is a beginner in magic, solomon taught them a basic invisibility spell lasting only 15 minutes which unfortunately disappeared at the exact moment MC had to call belphie to get out of the room, which ended up in them still fighting but as MC managed to cast a invisibility spell, they only ended up with a surface-level wound, and this fic details the time after they came back from that timeline!!!!

(why did no one give mc time to prepare lol, belphie wld still be in jail either way but mc cld hv been more prepared and had a better chance of standing up to belphie)

(also this is not proofread at all as i rambled on this post and this is my first writing piece in like many years so lolz!)
