Chapter 21

Surprises and the pyramid.

Kalego then went back to school, but his bracelet has always bothered him like a suffocating grip and where his hand begins to suffer from perennial tingles and also begins to change color, from light to purple. But he still maintains his rigor, where he absolutely cannot make his suffering exude. Appearances are very important and if the others find out that he has weakened it is the end, so he doesn't even get a grimace as he teaches in young Iruma's misfit class; as in the others. But his bracelet really hurts so much that every now and then he touches himself and therefore suffers internally.

Kalego: "But how the fuck did she endure all this ?! And to think he was wearing two of these damn nnggg!"

He thinks in the meantime and runs to his mate Balam, because he just can't take it anymore! After ten hours it is about to burst!

He then he opens the door like a fury and screams:

"Quickly give me some ice, lots of ice!"

Balam, who is frightened, replies: "Eh ?! What's wrong ?!"

While he opens the freezer and puts it in a bucket and places it on a table.

Kalego: "I'll explain later!"

So fast and desperate he takes off the studded bracelet, pulls up the sleeve of his left arm and dips it into the ice hoping it will work.

Kalego: "Nnngggg I can't take it anymore it's unbearable and I'm about to lose my hand damn!"

Balam: "The the hand ?! What the hell! Will you explain to me ?!"

So while he still suffers, he tells him about the infernal bond more than what happened next at Headmaster Sullivan's house, briefly recounting his penance.

"You understand now!"

"Woooow what a story .... So it was you ... This is a surreal situation! Not to mention your punishment then!" Feeling some joy in his words.

"Nnnggg the problem that I do not know what to do to loosen the grip you understand! The ice is just blocking the situation!"

"Ooooh the priestess is getting into it with jealousy."

"Damn... ."

"Why don't you call her and tell her everything?"

"NO! I refuse!"

"Don't say that, I remind you that it was you who started with their creation. How cute though and I told you that she is the one!"

"Nnnngggg stop it, you are not helpful!"

Then out of nowhere, they notice a strange fracture from where green hieroglyphs come out and from this, the priestess Annabel comes out making the two remain stunned. Because she just came out of a tunnel she created.

Balam: "But what? When did you learn how to do it?"

Kalego: "Tz... ." But he does not deny that he was surprised too and that Annabel approaches him and says:

"Come on, give me your arm ... let's touch the two bracelets ... which she is holding to me to death too!"

Kalego: "Eh ?! What ?! Who tells you it will work?"

"Can you trust it every now and then? Give it up or we'll lose our hands!"

Also showing his wrist which is almost black and therefore, without other words the demon removes his from the bucket and quickly grabs the right arm of the woman who in fact shortly after, the grip of the two bracelets suddenly loosens making the two sides sigh .

Balam: "Wow but what is too strange, had I never seen it? So it wasn't jealousy?"

Annabel: "I just remembered when you touched my wrists that night and they calmed down. This ride is not our emotions, but I think it was more because we are apart."

And the two who look at her confused:

Kalego: "What..you mean?"

"I mean that it is more a question of distance and that the further we are the more they tighten, instead the closer we are and the more they become loose ... as you say, in love you suffer, that's the case."

"No! I don't believe another problem!"

Balam: "Actually if you think about it... ."

Kalego: "It's absurd!"

Annabel: "We just have to accept the new condition and come to an agreement in some way."

Balam: "It seems fair to me."

Kalego: "You..nggg." As she narrows her eyes but still holds her arm.

Annabel: "Let's stay like this for a while, which in my opinion will give us more time."

Balam who observes more and more intrigued and enthusiastic about the new and particular situation of his partner.

Kalego: "You..but how the fuck are you dressed?" Noting her that she wears something really vulgar to his noble eyes:

"Eh? But it's just a house suit. It fits me comfortably." Purple jumpsuit, with jacket and baggy pants that almost looks like a man.

Kalego: "What indecency!" And he thinks about the clothes he bought her that he who knows where she threw them.

And Balam while he looks at her feet where she also wears slippers with the appearance of two green dragons:

"But the slippers are nice."

Annabel: "Haha I like them too and they are very soft!"

Kalego: "Enough!"

With this he takes back her arm, bumped and while he looks at her from top to bottom and wipes his hand with a handkerchief.

Annabel: "You didn't even say hello to me this morning ... ."

She by now she has gotten used to her exaggerated reactions of hers and therefore she is neither hot nor cold.

Kalego: "It was early and it's rude to wake someone up at that time!"

Then0 he composes himself, lowering his sleeve and then approaches her by bending over and almost touching her lips and touching her chin with his fingers, but he does not kiss her and only says to her with a cold look.

Kalego: "We are at school and I don't go against the rules, work and private life must always remain separate, clear?"

And she who stays there for a moment, but she has made us her callus anyway, so she sighs only patiently answering.

: "Yes, okay."

Next, he only composes himself by putting on the bracelet with the studs again; and now Balam has understood from this strange but too intimate behavior and says agitated and red in the face:

"Oooooh Ooooohh but don't tell me that! Have you finally declared yourself ?! I can't believe it! You did it!"

Kalego: "Tz... ."

Balam: "Why didn't you call me? It's not fair I wanted to see the whole scene!"

Kalego: "Don't talk nonsense!"

Disturbed Annabel: "Ah, so he knew everything?"

Balam: "Of course! I was an accomplice to him from the beginning, indeed I spurred him on!"

"Balam what the fuck are you silent!"

"Ah ... how interesting ... you are two infamous."

Kalego: "Eh? Correct you we are two demons and it's normal!"

Balam: "Right!"

Annabel: "Mmmg ... I don't speak anymore."

Kalego now hints at a small satisfied smile; it all took place under her mustache without her noticing anything and it is a pleasure to see her disturbed face.

Now Annabel instead is thinking how the two have plotted behind her from her who knows how long, but as they say they are demons and therefore takes her patience again, also because from her infernal bond he cannot escape and neither can he.

Kalego: "Tz anyway, what did you think of opening a portal here? Now the headmaster sure knows!"

"You say? It was an emergency situation I had to do it!"

Balam: "Well .. he's not completely wrong ... you were about to lose your hands."

"Yes, but now there will be consequences!"

Balam: "Let's see and ... who taught you to open them and then in that strange way?"

She simply points with her finger at Naberius who only raises an eyebrow and Balam:

"But seriously?! He never did it!"

Kalego: "Shichirou in short, I do what I want!" Annabel gets a laugh that does not escape the other who reproaches her: "There's nothing to laugh about in fact now you should cry!"

Balam saying everything euphoric:

"You are really in tune what too beautiful and strange for Kalego who has always been a type of disagreement with everyone! Of course! I see it already changed and it's too new and exciting!"

Kalego: "Now calm down that you are too agitated!"

Balam: "Ah, sorry so much, now I calm down...." So he drinks something that the woman does not understand what it is and then.

Annabel: "Didn't the principal make himself heard?"

The two who get stuck and in fact are thinking that by now he should have already summoned them but instead nothing.

Kalego: "Tz .. better this way .. he may have opened it so quickly that he couldn't hear you ... obviously it's just a guess."

Balam: "A thing too strange but... ."

Annabel: "Well ok then nothing happened right?"

Kalego: "Go back to where you came from, a mess that you're nothing else!"

She just sighed and Balam who approached her and looking at her bracelet replies doubtfully:

"You told me there was your name on the bracelet but I don't read anything ... ."

Kalego: "Eh? Seriously?"

The partner nods and he thinks about it first and then:

"Most likely we can only read it, better this way, less trouble." And then he adds:

"Balam you too, keep your mouth shut clear?"

Balam: "Of course, who did you take me for?"

With this, Naberius adjusts his cape and Annabel has now noticed that she is even longer than normal, where she then approaches.

Kalego: "What? Are you still here?"

She takes the amulet that she has around her neck in her hands and says:

"I'll wake these up before I go." And without using gloves, where she pierced her hands with small needles and succeeds in the attempt, where the other's one also rekindles like everyone else in the school, who now again feel protected and the other has remained from this too particular and then she who reopens the portal and finally says:

"See you later."

Balam sign with his hand and then when she is gone:

"Am I wrong or is she getting stronger than when she came into this world?"

" Mmmm... ."

"And she didn't cut herself to let out the blood of fire ... what does that mean?"

But to this question, not even Naberius can give an answer, that woman lately with her teachings is showing itself full of surprises. Which he doesn't mind.

He finished the lessons where he found that his bracelet no longer bothered him, a sign that he was right about her and then sighing he is thinking now that he has been missing since she opened the door for her. An unthinkable thing when he met her for the first time, which really bothered him but now it's the other way around. After those three weeks plus the other days spent at his house, the demon wants her closer and closer, a need he had never felt with his ex-girlfriends. However, the day was eventful. In a few weeks there will be the harvest festival, an event too important for young demons, where the place where it will be held will test their physical and psychic resistance. All of this simulates the real life of their world, hellish and hostile to any demon that isn't ready! So the trouble was when he saw the number of teachers they sent home with symptoms of mental weakness, something he'll have to stop somehow. The first day of the festival is hell for them, with the students putting themselves in danger and therefore they will have to stand ready and rescue them all!

A word! So he has to think about who to add as protector, in short, another problem that already overlaps with the disease.

But one positive thing he noticed is that the other teachers are much calmer since the amulets reactivated, a sign that he was right, the role of the priestess is fundamental for their mental health, she acts as a soothing and backlog of three weeks has not yet completed it. But he was already ready for this.

So at the end of the day, where he is back in his quarters, he takes a shower and shampoo and wears his usual black shirt and dark pants. Then he sits down to eat something while he dries his hair with a towel. Black salad with fried cockroaches.

Where later he dries them with an instant hot gust of wind spell, which leaves them a little messy, where however he somehow keeps his usual tuft and cut, adjusting them with just his fingers.

And he again feels the need to have the priestess next to him, and it has become a fixed thought by now. Also because he misses his reading of the forbidden books that he had to suspend with the story of penance.

So he picks up the phone, it's late now but he wants to try it anyway and first reads a message from Balam that he wrote:

"I am convinced that the priestess, now your partner, will do very well in our world! I still can't believe it congratulations!"

And he who comments:

"Mmmm ... this is yet to be seen."

She hasn't seen everything yet, but the little where he has noticed her cold mind in reacting in complex and particular situations gives her a point in her favor.

In terms of survival he still doesn't see it well, but with the story of the bracelets she can't go anywhere, so she can only stay with him.

And he sends her a message from the other mobile demo, the more private one, by writing:

"Tonight you can come to me, open a portal like you did at school, so the headmaster doesn't notice anything." It seemed a bit like a kind of request in reality, he who then asks is really rare, but now he deems it necessary.

While waiting for an answer, he is thinking that sooner or later their relationship will be exposed and here he breathes deeply, because it will really be a tragedy, given his role in high society and when the headmaster finds out it will really be a disaster! But he wants the priestess even though she is rough and leaving her is not in his plans, so he will put up with it.

And after ten minutes an answer comes:

"Opera discovered me and now keeps me under close surveillance and has forbidden me to use it ... but I managed at least to convince him not to update the principal about this ... I'm sorry ... ."

Kalego: "That damn cat... ."

Then putting his fingers under his chin he thinks of a solution that he finds immediately; then he gets up and takes from a drawer the famous golden pyramid that now belongs to him and has now turned gray due to how much energy it has absorbed from the place.

Him: "Who knows if it works the same mmmm ... ."

So he first thinks about what he wants and then presses on the tip and immediately a portal opens, where on the other side he sees the woman's room and also notices that she is from behind while she is looking at the mobile demo.

Kalego does not miss the opportunity and, reaching out a hand, he grabs her by the waist and drags her into the portal and then into her accommodation, with the other's face that is really stunned by what has just happened and says:

"But what?"

Where she notices the demon's hand wrapping around her waist and turning and looking up she notices that he is staring at her with his usual straight face but with a raised eyebrow.

Kalego who then presses the pyramid again to close the portal.

"Mph .. it worked, very well."

Her: "But that's my golden pyramid!"

Him: "Yours? Since you gave it to me and it came out of your possession, it no longer belongs to you so now it's my pyramid to open a tunnel and no longer golden."

In fact she notices that she has changed color and makes a bean face saying:

"Well here ... in fact ... it is no longer gold ... ok ... and what do you do with Opera? For sure you will notice that I have disappeared ... ."

Kalego: "Knowing him isn't that fiscal, so he'll open your room door in a few hours."

She: "Really? Well if you say so...."

He alone: ​​"Mph I know him all too well."

So he leaves the pyramid on the table and bends down to kiss her on the lips and makes no mention of leaving his life, something he doesn't mind and feels a kind of internal joy at his presence in his quarters, as before three o'clock. weeks.

After all Kalego even if it doesn't seem like he's a romantic type but in his own way.

Her: "Your lips are too cold .. .."

He who remained but replies:

"And yours are too hot."

But again they kiss with more passion, this time also using their tongue. In short, he notes with pleasure that the priestess is not disgusted at all! Great for him and he didn't even expect her skill in passionate kisses!

Kalego: "What the hell though, you never change?"

he says it because she always wears the same tracksuit as in the morning and she:

"But it's so comfortable, then I put on my pajamas at night."

And he just: "Mmmmm...." Him where he endures.

Then sitting on the gothic style sofa, the one that is located in front of the fireplace, she notices his unkempt hair and smiles and he:

" Thing?"

"Your mpff hair ... usually it's always perfect, sorry mpf..you look good though."

He who stares at her seriously but does not feel anger for it, on the contrary, he does not touch him at all, which is strange because at the beginning, when they met such a scene, it would have hit him deeply and only replies:

"I did the shampoo."

Her: "Don't worry, you can stay like this for me."

Him: "Accepting the partner even outside the mask of society is an excellent thing in a couple."

Her: "Well I think that everyone must feel free towards the other and then you know it, you can show yourself how it is more comfortable for you, it doesn't bother me."

And in thought: "The one who is disturbed by how I dress is you dear angry tuft."

But for now she avoids telling him.

Him: "In this world it is not always like this, the outward appearance is everything and if this fails, the others will crush you. Is that clear?"

"Very clear."

Even if Kalego is opening up a bit, he always does it as tightly as possible. He doesn't want to show him his emotions, at least for now he keeps himself.

Him: "Now listen to me well, a couple in the world of demons must have rules to follow to live life together in a peaceful and lasting way, especially us who are in the infernal bond; therefore first of all trust is very important, if this fails, the relationship breaks down with heavy consequences, second, a couple must sustain complicity in any situation and abandoning the partner is a symbol of weakness and is unacceptable! Third, following and enduring daily habits is very important for keep the couple firm and fourth, sex also important, having them periodically is an excellent sign of a strong relationship. Each couple has its own rules, these are mine. "

The last thing worries her about her and she thinks it is too taxing on these rules and then she has her say.

Her: "A couple must also talk about their problems and solve them together and above all in a couple we must look to talk at the same level and not from top to bottom."

He first stares at her and then: "I'm always rank eight! And that's unacceptable!"

Her: "And I of the third degree so what? Does it suck to talk to me normally as we have done up to now in private?"
