**********

In the evening of the same day, Mashiro came back from school and told Yuki about how she found it and she couldn't help but ask him again "Yuki, are you sure you don't want to go to school? When I told Chihiro about this, she was very pissed"

"I will think about it, how did your day go?" Replied Yuki with a disinterested look on his face, and Mashiro felt like something seemed off about him today since he wasn't the way she left him in the morning so she leaned in closer to him and extended her hand to touch his forehead…

"What are you doing?" asked Yuki with a bewildered look not understanding what this weirdo was trying to do, but Mashiro simply tilted her head and said "hm? Everything seems normal…"

"What the hell, are you a doctor all of a sudden?" said Yuki with a joking tone while inside he was thinking 'Damn, this girl's instincts are sharper than most people despite her dull attitude, she actually noticed that something was wrong with me'

Meanwhile, Mashiro shook her head and replied " Are you okay?". Yuki's eerie eyes looked straight at Mashiro's silently before he smiled and said "Yes, don't worry" and he patted her head lightly messing up her hair in the process before he suddenly heard a knock on the door and finally remembered to tell her "Oh, by the way, we are having another roommate" and the moment he said so, he opened the door and Emilia faced off against Mashiro as cowboy music started ringing in the background…

But Yuki suddenly realized that he was hearing it for real and not just imagining it and couldn't help but notice Hanzo standing by the door with a smirk on his face while holding his phone and Ashiya was chuckling beside him…

"These idiots…" Muttered Yuki with a smile, a smile that made their spines tingle, as he quickly approached them and went downstairs with them to help them carry Emilia's belongings to the room…

While doing so, Emilia finally spoke "I'm sorry but I have to live with you two for a while, sorry for the intrusion"

Mashiro looked cluelessly at the tense Emilia and didn't understand why she was acting like that and simply replied "As long as Yuki's fine with it, I don't mind"

Seeing Mashiro wasn't faking it, Emilia couldn't help but think that this cute girl was really kind and she couldn't help but start liking her, so she smiled and started talking with her a little to forget her terrible day…

A Few minutes later, Yuki and the demons finished transferring all of Emilia's belongings, and just as they finished, they heard the sound of someone walking up the stairs, and those poor stairs almost couldn't handle the weight of this person as they creaked and wailed in pain…

"Oh no, sorry Yuki but you have to face this on your own, this is something beyond me, here take these, they might help you" Said Ashiya handing Yuki his praying beads before he quickly made a run for it, not wanting to face his dear landlord, especially since he still had the image Yuki planted in his head of her bending down to deliver that renovation paper… Just the thought of it made him almost puke…

"What's going on with Ashiya?" Asked Hanzo, not understanding the reason for this great demon strategist's tactical retreat! But Yuki immediately put a hand around his neck while his other hand stared using the praying beads as he said with a comforting tone "Don't worry about it buddy, he's just an idiot"

Hanzo immediately tried to remove Yuki's hand from his shoulder while saying "Who's your buddy?" But the latter simply wouldn't budge to the point that Hanzo felt like Yuki was holding on to him as if his life deepened on it!

However, before he could say anything else, the sound of the heavy footsteps grew louder and louder, and following its source, his eyes ended up landing on a purple blob that was approaching them. This was of course the landlord of the Sasazuka Rosa Villa, Shiba Miki!

"Yuki-kun, your room appears to be getting more and more lively…" said Miki with her cheeks flapping slightly… Both those upstairs and downstairs… before she noticed Hanzo and her 'mysterious' disgusting smile widened slightly "Oh, those two also got a new roommate, little guy, you can call me Miki-T"

Hanzo suddenly felt sick in his stomach and begin to understand why Ashiya immediately ran away 'This… What kind of magic is this, even Yuki seems more pleasant to the eye right now' thought Hanzo while shooting Yuki a weird look before he thought 'Nah I was wrong, he still looks terrible' which prompted the latter to punch him in the head with his rock-hard hand making him wince in pain.

"NEVER COMPARE ME TO THIS MONSTER" Whispered Yuki in his ear with a chill-inducing voice before he made a 180° change in attitude and smiled at Miki " Shiba-san, welcome back"

"Yuki-kun, you should also call me Miki-T~" She said with a pout and both Yuki and Hanzo almost had a heart attack when they saw it. But their savior immediately came from Yuki's room… It was their hero, Emilia! And right now, both Hanzo and Yuki were staring at her with shining eyes making her sigh before she started explaining the situation.

"I see… Indeed, those things are quite dangerous for you in your current state, fine as long as it's temporary, I won't mind you staying here" said Miki to Emilia and the latter thanked her.

Then just as they thought that they can finally get further away from the blob, Miki suddenly turned to Yuki and said "By the way, Yuki-kun, you seem to be doing fine recently, and you got yourself a nice way to earn money… I will be expecting my payments soon okay?"

Yuki suddenly felt a chill and he couldn't help but think 'Does she also frequent the underground arena? Fuck, and here I wanted to see if I could get her to lower the rent further tch' but on the outside, he replied with a simple smile "Of course, don't worry"

"Good, well goodbye then, oh and the renovations will start in the next few days" said Miki before she turned around and left while swaying her wave causing a few waves in the ocean and allowing everyone to breathe a sigh of relief…

'I will never trust Yuki again' Thought Hanzo before he quickly returned to his room to wash his eyes and try to forget what he just saw… No, he was even ready to burn again with Yuki's chili powder!

…

After everything was settled, Yuki decided to leave the girls alone to organize their things and left to take a walk instead… During this time, he started to think about his financial situation 'The odds of my fights are getting lower and lower every time, but at least I accumulated a total of 600.000 Yen! (Around 5000$) This's enough for me to pay the current rent, but it's not enough to repay all my debts especially when those despicable demons stole half of it…'

Yuki couldn't help but remember the landlord of his previous apartment and his daughter that kicked him out, that man helped the previous Yuki a lot, so he decided to repay that debt. But he would need 3 million Yen for that one!

'I will take it easy for now and continue fighting in the arena, right now, I already won 3 consecutive fights, so the arena will pay me 60000 Yen per fight for my next six fights, without considering my gambling, my income is actually great and after Winning15 consecutive fights, my payments will rise all the way to 180000 Yen per fight, but I'm sure they will adjust my odds so that I can't abuse the system… well, good enough for now'

While Yuki was lost in his thoughts and walking aimlessly, he found himself inside the park where he met Mashiro for the first time and a smile ended up coming to his face, at the same time he removed all the smiles from the people in the park who were looking at him.

But he didn't care and simply went to buy some ice cream from the shaking vendor who Yuki thought was cold…

Then, he took a seat and started enjoying his ice cream, but not long after, a weird guy was about to pass by him weird even by Yuki's standard!

As for why Yuki would consider him weird… It was because he was carrying a green-haired naked baby on his head and Yuki felt like this scene was familiar for some reason, especially when the baby's eyes suddenly lit up like stars when he saw Yuki and he started grabbing the guy's hair while pointing at Yuki.

'Oh, is this kid smart or too stupid to actually get attracted to me' thought Yuki curiously and he could hear the guy talk to the baby which Yuki found even weirder "Oh, baby Beel, what's wrong?"

"Tabou aye" replied the kid while pointing at Yuki prompting the guy to stare at him cluelessly and for the first time, Yuki found a guy who stared at him without any fear.

"You want ice cream?" Asked the guy pointing at the cone Yuki was holding with a Demonic face that made him appear like he was about to steal it from Yuki and give it to the baby because he thought this is why baby Beel was attracted to him, but to his surprise, the baby shook its head and Pointed at Yuki directly which surprised the guy who stared at Yuki and didn't know what to do.

Finding the kid cute and most importantly not afraid of him, Yuki immediately took a liking to him so he pointed at the 'empty' seat beside him (for obvious reasons) and said "How about you sit with me for a while"

"Tabou tabou" Replied the baby with a nod and his eyes kept shining and his cheeks blushing slightly in excitement.

"Sorry for the trouble, this is the first time he acts like this, by the way my name is Oga, thanks" Said Oga with a terrifying smile before he took a seat with baby Beel.

Oga has brown hair and sharp black eyes, he's rather muscular with a widespread build, and his attire consisted of a worn-out shirt, a brown leather jacket, and plain pants. Yuki could tell that he was very alert toward him despite not showing it on his face.

However, the moment they sat down, baby Beel immediately jumped on Yuki's creepy hair which took him a lot of time to wash and started to play with it happily which made him smile slightly creeping a lot of people out excluding Oga who, seeing the happy baby ended up smiling as well, and the people finally had enough as they saw his demonic smile and started leaving the park while some even called the cops and child protection services…

Yuki on the other hand finally understood what people felt when people saw him smile as he stared at Oga's demonic smile with his sharp teeth and he couldn't help but feel a sense of comradery with him!

"I'm Yuki, nice to meet you. Oga-san, are you taking care of this baby?" asked Yuki and Oga stared at him in delight while replying "You are the first person that didn't immediately assume that baby Beel is my son"

"Seriously? You seem like a good guy plus you are young aren't you? It's obvious he's not yours, that's why I thought you were taking care of him" replied Yuki with a smile that made baby Beel's eyes shine even brighter.

Oga let out a sigh and said "If only my parent's believed me, but instead they trusted that sneaky woman over me"

Yuki stared at him in surprise before he asked "Would you like to tell me what's going on? Of course, I can't promise you that it's going to make you feel better, but I'm willing to listen"

Oga fell deep in thought before he felt like he could trust this creepy guy that baby Beel seemed to like so he began telling Yuki about his weird story…
