Chapter 17: Romantic Attempt #1 (I).
Previously from not updating too much!
The demon lord sighs regretfully seeing how the next day after their talk of wanting to try out the ways of Lucinda's book, on how people get together in a romantic relationship.
They were magazines, and... Mangas.
"I'm so excited!"
Lucinda winks at the camera before hitting the recording button.
It's about high time she records her achievements and a little interview about the demon lord's true feelings! After all, who knows in the future if they were still good old buddies can she show her these videos and then blackmail her!
In a friendly teasing way!
"What are you doing?"
Speaking of the devil, Azel frowns seeing the camera blinking a red color on the top.
"Oh just recording our progress for wooing your little bride." The witch answers honestly as she giggles playfully letting her phone be invisible to the normal human's eye letting it float.
She takes out one of the materials out and holds it out to read the first way to get a girl was-
"Ahem! First way of getting a girl!" She gives a read on how two people drawn in a very old style kind of manga, having their eyes sparkle and anatomically incorrect bodies bump into each other before staring deeply.
Passionately.
"Wait for an opportunity to bump into her while she's carrying a stack of papers and then proceed to help her out! Like in this manga over here titled, Kyun kyun love you romance series!" (Lucinda) holds out the chapter where the scene was drawn earning a silent look of confusion from the demon lord.
She stares at the witch thinking, is this some new form of human courting ritual now?
"..."
"Don't look at me like that, I assure you this is least weird! My mom and dad did this! This stuff happens in real life!"
"The fact that we're planning to bump into her is weird." (Azel) sighs looking away feeling foolish of even thinking on doing that towards Lady Cordelia-
Correction.
The girl that looks like Lady Cordelia.
Isabella Insley, a normal girl who's studying law and was destined to be the demon lord's bride. Having a little sister, scholarship in line, and a part-time job she has no time for love.
The demon lord was aware, so she only had one mission.
Get close enough to be considered a friend.
"Isabella will taste romance I tell you! Now today I've been taking notes!" (Lucinda) laughs evilly taking out her wand. "I'll be convincing one of the teachers to make her bring a stack of papers in the name of love!"
"You mean... having a spell to make the teacher follow your orders?" (Azel) raises an eyebrow remembering that she still has her license to use magic publicly will be revoked if she abuses her power especially if it's something being used in humans.
"Oh no I don't need that! Some of the teachers here are witches and I'm acquainted with one!" (Lucinda) tells her and the demon lord was not expecting that there were other witches in the premises in power. "I'll lead the way! It's actually the teacher you met before in your homeroom class."
"Alright, if you really think this will make me closer to her."
Lucinda was quick on her feet and was even taking selfies as they walked towards the teachers office pausing the video and showing it to the demon lord who became intrigued with the other things a phone is able to do.
"And if you press this one called filters, you'll see so many other possible background changes to your surroundings. If you want to make everything cute press the pink background filter and if you want to go retro just press this black and white one-" (Lucinda) shows her the video settings where Azel, the demon lord was learning at a great pace.
The witch's patience was certainly a long one, she didn't mind teaching the dangerous demon everything she knew.
Azel noticed and secretly she was thankful.
"Like this?" (Azel) follows her instructions and was able to change the filters of the video. The witch was so proud of her baby steps into learning technology that she clapped, heart turning soft.
"Yeah! You're a natural! We should hang out more sometimes, even online! We could play games- teach you how to say curse words in ten more different languages!" A sudden idea popped up in Lucinda's mind.
Technically the demon lord gives bad luck, would that also apply to online things?
If she has the demon lord by her side surely... She'll be having the best time of her life using Azel as a shield of bad luck against her enemies in the League of Doom game.
"Online... What is online?" (Azel) asks curiously, eager to learn more but Lucinda thinks that was enough for the day.
"We have a long way to get you used to modern tech..." (Lucinda) sighs with a bitter smile but it was okay. They'll take things one thing at the time and for now, the love route to romance was the most important one to focus on.
Soon they arrived at the teacher's staff room.
Knock! Knock! Knock
"Excuse me, we're here to see Professor Lilith Lovely!"
Many professors were walking around the room talking about their lesson plans, their own personal coffee machine by the break room area and gossip.
"Didn't you hear? The recently adopted daughter of the Hua Lin family has enrolled. Many were speculating that she was a mistress' child-"
"Oh I've heard she's quite a beauty, she's not really related to the Hua Lin family from what I've heard."
"Whew... you did not want to see one of the elder Hua Lin children lashing out in one of my classes because another student told him that his fortune will be in danger."
Yikes, looks like the staff room was only full of gossip about Azel.
"Oof... Talk of the town huh? How do you feel?" (Lucinda) nudges Azel's sides teasingly and the other girl frowns.
"Gossips like these don't bother me."
One has heard of their request to visit one of their co-workers, it was an elderly woman with a really kind stare.
"You're here to see Ms. Lovely? She's right down there in her office." A kind elderly teacher lets them inside and Lucinda gives a good girl smile. "I have to warn you though on being extra careful, she hasn't taken her second cup of coffee yet so she might be a little cranky."
"Thank you so much! Come on, Azel, let's go now." (Lucinda) leads the way until they found her private office.
Azel was grateful for the elderly woman that helped her. With the snap of her finger, she made sure something lucky would happen to her later.
Usually the teachers would each have their own little office with everything they needed, and this was the perfect time to ask for that favor.
The demon lord and the witch opened the door to Ms. Lilith Lovely staff room.
Clack... Clack... Clack...
The typing of a keyboard could be heard even outside.
The place looked rather expensive, back then people who are able to teach wouldn't even have this much luxury.
"Hello there~ Ms. Lovely I'm here to ask for a little teensy weensy favor?" (Lucinda) lets herself in, Azel quickly closes the door and the professor looks up with dark circles under her eyes.
Clack... Clack... Clack...
"Ugh... Lucinda I'm too tired making powerpoint presentations to fulfill any of your favors." (Ms. Lovely) fixes her glasses and reaches out to sip her cup of hot coffee trying to destress from trouble making children. "If this is you bailing you out to any of your business class you know what your parents will do to me-"
"No! No! Not that- hehe! What I want to ask of you was well~ if you have any stacked papers needed for carrying in class- give it to one of your students named Isabella Insley."
Ms. Lovely raises an eyebrow putting her cup of coffee in its personal saucer.
"And why?" she asks the teenage witch who giggles nervously.
"Can I keep that one a secret?"
"A secret you say? Then the request is denied." (Ms. Lovely) didn't realize that her coffee cup suddenly turned against her, spilling all over her table. "What the but I made sure that it's placed on the saucer-"
Quick on her thinking, the witch professor takes a few of her tissues from her tissue box wiping all of it off.
"Um... Azel, what are you doing?" (Lucinda) whispers her question quietly while looking over the professor frantically panicking, cleaning the spilled coffee off of her desk.
"Apologies, I didn't like it when she denied your request." She told the witch honestly looking away in an embarrassed expression.
"You know what- I don't feel that bad... at least her laptop is still okay. Usually coffee spilling scenes take the computer or some important irreplaceable documents."
As if on cue when Ms. Lovely stood up to take some alcohol that was over by the shelf, the charger wire of her laptop somehow coincidentally went by her waist and-
Crash!
"Not my laptop! No! The Power point presentation hasn't been saved yet!"
When she was about to bend down to reach her fallen laptop screen that had the LCD broken, having black marks all over it, her buttocks managed to push the table and the stack of papers beside it, toppling it down.
Some get into the liquid coffee.
"Last week's quiz! No! I haven't graded them!"
Lucinda gulped, everything she said came true. Ms. Lovely who hasn't slept much in days because of their hell week almost cried in tears.
"You just had to say it." (Azel) shakes her head rubbing the side of her temples.
"Why do you make it sound like I'm the one that caused this?!" (Lucinda)
"For one I didn't do it. Surprisingly, it's not my fault this time." (Azel) tells the witch, remembering that if they were in school, meaning if she was in the same place as her bride she has the power to control her bad luck to an extent.
The first one was her fault, the coffee being spilt.
The second and third, not her fault if she was being honest. Even if the coffee wasn't spilt the demon lord was sure the laptop would've fallen over and the stacked piled documents too.
