Chapter 6 - To School?

-office-

Noberius and Iruma were kneeling next to each other in front of the school chairdemon.

"It's the first time this happened really!" The old man waved his hand before looking to Noberius.

"You want to cancel it? Impossible, the contract lasts a year, you see!" He explained to the distraught teacher, "If you try to force it both of you may end up dying.

As soon as this was said, Noberius passed out, still upright though.

"As for the double summon, that also never happened" He continued, "Speaking of-"

He turned to Pandora, "What is your name and family?"

Pandora, not expecting to be mentioned just yet, quickly swallowed the biscuit she was eating.

"Pandora, I have no family name." She answered calmly.

"You appear to be a demon, but you don't seem like it, meaning the summon was likely supposed to summon you, but for some reason, Noberius got caught up in it." After saying this, he turned to Iruma, "So congrats on your successful familiar summoning!" He clapped.

"R-Really?" He scratched his cheek.

"Yep, this ends the little meeting so I'll see you at home after school~" He was all flowery saying this.

Iruma got up to leave and nurses ran in to pick up the Noberius-statue, so Pandora went to follow after.

"Stay here." Suddenly the chairdemon said in an intimidating voice.

Pandora complied and took a seat.

"I'll be straight with you," He put his elbows on the desk and crossed his fingers, "Should you hurt or harm Iruma, in any shape or form, I will personally destroy you."

Chills ran up her spine when he said this.

"Now, what is your rank?" He switched tones very fast, now to a cheerful principal.

"Rank?" Pandora tilted her head in confusion.

"You have no rank!? Have you gone to demon school yet!?" He suddenly looked like a man who just scolded a child and they started crying.

"No? I have never been in Hell before today." She stated.

He was silent for a few moments before laughing ominously.

"fufufu, I guess that means that I can set something up~"

"Care to elaborate?" Pandora would be sweating if she were capable.

-Sulivan's mansion-

Iruma opened the door to the house and was met with Pandora waiting patiently on the couch.

Their eyes met and Iruma immediately began sweating as an awkward silence stood between them.

"Uh-um, nice to meet you, I-I'm Iruma, what's your name?" He hesitatively asked.

"Pandora, nice to meet you too?" She didn't know how to interact with the kid.

"So... you're my familiar?" He sat on the couch near her.

"Yes, though I have a feeling your grandfather may do something tomorrow." She sighed, relaxing a little.

"That seems like him, hehe." He scratched the back of his neck.

Another silence spanned between them until Pandora got fed up.

"Enough of this, lets just take turns asking what we want to know." She pinched the bridge of her nose before looking t o Iruma, signaling for him to ask.

"So, what exactly are you...?" He asked nervously.

"I am, what could be called, a biomechanical organism." She answered, "Now my turn, what is a human doing in Hell?"

He started panicking before she could calm him.

"Don't worry, I won't tell."

"O-ok... My parents sold me to grandpa Sulivan to become his grandson." He recovered a little from the shock.

"..." She didn't know what to say, so Iruma took the chance to ask his next question.

"Can you be my friend?" He asked after straightening his back, "I know you're my familiar but-"

"Sure."

"Really!?" She nodded in response, he didn't expect that.

"I didn't expect you to agree so easily." He said, embarrassed.

She shrugged, "Well, you're my master technically, and I don't exactly have friends in Hell."

"So thanks for offering, friend." She smiled at him, making him look away red faced.

*BANG*

"Iruma-kun~" Sulivan burst through the door, "I'm home!"

"Welcome home grandpa." He called back.

"I see you're getting along well with Pandora." He said with a charming smile and Iruma nodded in response.

"Good! She'll be your junior transfer student tomorrow!" He clapped and both stared at his with confused expressions.

""WHAT!?"" Both yelled simultaneously in shock to which Sulivan nodded thoughtfully.

"Yep! And here's your uniform!" He pulled a uniform from who knows where and Pandora's circuits finally blanked out.

-next day-

Iruma and Pandora are standing at the porch, Asmodius waving at them as they approached.

"Morning Az-kun!" Iruma greeted.

"Good morning Iruma-sama." He returned the greeting, "This must be your new familiar?"

"Mhm! Though I prefer friend." Iruma said casually.

"GASP, TOMODACHI!" He covered his mouth in shock before quickly accepting the situation, "I guess that's why she's wearing the uniform, but a friend of Iruma's is a friend of mine!"

Pandora only nodded in response.

"So, what kind of demon are you and what's your ability?" He rushed a question immediately as they walked out.

"I am a bio-mechanical demon I'd say, as for my ability-" She gave a sly smile as she looked over at him, "You'd have to find out."

"Before you ask too many questions, I have amnesia, so I don't remember much." This was the plan she and Sulivan discussed the night before to prevent any information leaks.

"Ok then, I guess I should tell you about Hell and the school then?" He asked to which Pandora nodded.

And so Asmodius began telling the history of Hell to Pandora on the walk to the school to which they quickly reached as the mansion was somewhat close by.

Upon entering the hallways, people started whispering about the new student, though it was mostly about a certain green haired goofball that just so happened to be playing bowling with their entire body?

*CRASH*

And it just so happens that the pins were large boxes that seemed to be heavy, so Iruma went to check on her.

"STRIKE!" She immediately got up, unscathed, "HAHAHAHAHA!"

"Are you al-alright?" He reached out.

"You mustn't Iruma-sama! If you speak to her-" Asmodius was about to warn him when-

*sparkle~~~*

She immediately started a super fast introduction.

"I'M CLARA! RIGHT FOOT'S CONNOR, LEFT FOOT'S MURPH! WE CAME HERE FOR CLASS MATERIALS!"

"BUT I GOT TOO EXCITED AND CRASHED! DOESN'T IT JUST MAKE YOU WANT TO GO BAM! WHEN YOU SEE STUFF ALL RILED UP? IT DOES RIGHT, I'LL GIVE YOU CANDY!"

"I'MA DO IT AGAIN, WATCH ME!"

She started setting up the boxes once again as Asmodius whispered to the two, "Valac Clara, she's known as quite the oddball.

"She can be very annoying when she gets attached to someone, so everyone avoids her.

"She can be quite meddlesome as well."

"It's best to not get involved with her." He finished.

"Is that..." Iruma took a deep sigh, "...so"
