" He said trying to not sound defeated, and failing.
The skin was, unfortunately, the part of the body that was the easiest to do and that demanded the least amount of energy to do.
"Now, how about some pizza?" He spoke as he got up and went to the phone. He was not in the mood to make his own food today so he might as well ask for some food.
Today was a good day, and now it was time to eat and recover. His body was not yet fit to go train, but he could produce some potions just like those Medea-sensei taught him that can make one's body recover nutrients faster.
That woman knew a scary number of potions and other unique magics, after all, especially ones suitable to get revenge on others, and she was more than glad to teach Soma after he pulled a prank on Jason, namely giving him a potion that would make him go bald.
Chuckling a bit at the memories of the idiot's girly screams upon seeing all his golden hair falling off, Soma went to get to call for a pizza.

"So, Momo-chan, did something good happen?" Tomoe Meguri, Sona's only knight, asked her fellow Peerage member who stiffened upon hearing the sudden question.
"Huh? What? Why do you ask?" Momo asked in surprise, she was just reading through another petition of the females of the school to remove the Perverted Trio from the school. Not that this would happen to see as one of them had just joined Rias Gremory's Peerage two weeks ago and all that.
"Because you had a skip on your step today and you have been smiling a lot more than usual. Did someone finally ask you out?" Tomoe asked, earning a glare from Momo.
"No, I was not asked in a date or anything like that. " Momo said, her eyes twitching at seeing Ruruko giving some money to a smug Tsubasa.
Clearly, they had been betting on her love life, again.
"So? What is it?" Tsubasa asked, glad to have won the bet she did earlier. She wanted a new phone, after all, and any money helps.
"My cousin, Soma, was released from the hospital. I was thinking about visiting him later today to see how he is doing, and maybe eat some cake or something like that with him.
" Momo said simply, it really was not that big a deal in her eyes. She was simply glad her cousin was back, the two grew up together and were as close as brother and sister, having him be in a coma really broke her heart, and seeing him back was just a great thing in her eyes.
He was someone she cared for a lot growing up, truly siblings in all but blood.
She, however, noticed the weird glances and perverted giggling from the rest of the Peerage and only rolled her eyes at them. They were too childish sometimes, there was absolutely nothing going on between her and her cousin anyway so their actions were ridiculous anyway.
She had no such feelings for him and she was quite sure it was the same the other way around. It was a pure friendship, simple as that.
Thankfully Sona put a stop to the perverted giggling and gossips soon enough and made them all go right back to work.
As they were all dispersed and allowed to go their way Momo put all her things in her bag and proceeded to go about her way, she still had to find a cake shop to get something for Soma. It was her own 'welcome home' gift, after all.
"Momo, wait a moment. " Sona said and Momo stopped in her tracks, turning back to her king.
"Yes?"
"Is this the cousin you had asked me to take a look a little while back?" Sona said simply enough.
During the years Momo did not simply forget Soma, they were practically siblings after all and such a thing was not something one can simply forget. As such Momo had asked Sona if she could send someone to take a look at him, a natural act seeing as the Sitri family owned several hospitals in both the human world and the Underworld.
Sona, without hesitation, made the request for her family, after all, it was a request within her powers from one of her Peerage members and, as such, something she would try to help with. Unfortunately, there was nothing that could be done at the time, but it still made Sona uncomfortable to have failed a request from one of her servants.
"Yes, Soma-kun was the one I asked for before. " Momo admitted it easily enough, it was not like this was a secret or anything.
"I see. Well, if it is not too much to ask I would like to be able to go and see him as well.
It is just to see if he is truly healthy and question him in regards to how his schooling will go by and if he can become one of the school's students. He is of the right age, after all.
"
Momo really, really wanted to say no. It was supposed to be a moment where Momo could just go back to how things were before everything got complicated, a time before being a devil or any family drama.
Just her and her cousin eating cake, drinking some soda, playing games, and talking.
Having her boss would really not help with that, but Momo knew Sona did not mean anything bad by this and, again, she was her boss. One didn't say 'no' to their boss easily, especially when they have good intentions.
As such, with a slightly strained smile, Momo answered.
"Of course, you are welcome. "
"Good, we can go there then. Oh, and we can just pit stop at my house instead of a cake shop, I have made some cakes yesterday and I am quite proud of their taste.
" Sona said making Momo's skin pale considerably.
'Kaichou, do you want little Soma to die? Your cooking is toxic, we have already told you that much and if we try to give it to someone whose stomach is weak
