Chapter 39

READER'S POV

After making the decision where to sleep for now, Satan and Lucifer arrived in my room and they started their discussion about how to deal with their current situation and get back into their orginal bodies.

"Well then...I'm going to go ahead and call this meeting to order. We'll be discussing how things are going to work now that Satan and I have switched bodies," Lucifer told us as he sat down on my desk chair.

"Um, wait a minute. This is Satan talking, which means it's Lucifer inside. So then...it's Lucifer speaking. Man, this is complicated and annoyin'," Mammon grumbled.

"I hate looking at Lucifer and I hate listening to him speak. But even when it's me I'm looking at, it still irritates me to hear him speak."

"Oh, but you're saying that it's a little better now that he looks different?" Asmo asked him.

"It makes sense that (Y/n) is here because we're in her room. But Mammon, Asmo, what exactly are you two doing here?" Lucifer asked them with a puzzled look.

"Uh...well, ya see... The thing is, um..." Mammon struggled to get his words out until Asmo spoke with a grin.

"'Why do YOU two get to be in this room, watchin' (Y/n) change and sleep, even first thing in the mornin' while I don't! It ain't fair, I'm jealous as hell, and I wanna be in on this too, dammit!' ...Is that what you're getting at?" Asmo asked after mimicking Mammon.

Mammon blushed and he shouted angrily, "Hey! Stop impersonatin' me!"

"Incidentally, I'm only here because this looked like it could become interesting...<3" Asmo spoke with a wink.

Raven leaned close to me and he asked, "What is it with those two being so possessive over you?"

"I have no idea..." I told him before turning my attention back to those two.

"...Fine, whatever. Let's jut ignore those two and continue our conversation," Lucifer spoke with a small frown.

"There are two fundamental rules that must be adhered to: First, neither of us is allowed to go into each other's room unless the other is present as well. Second, we are to avoid doing anything that might attract attention while at school."

"...You would say that Lucifer. All you ever care about is appearances," Satan spoke with a smirk.

"Did you say something?" Lucifer asked Satan with a frown.

"No...So, long story short, we avoid getting caught and there'll be no problems, right?"

Lucifer nodded his head before Asmo spoke up.

"So, does that mean the meeting's over? Ooh...okay then! Lucifer, want to take a bath me?" Asmo asked Lucifer but he was talking to his original body.

"Excuse me...?" Lucifer asked with a frown.

"Ooh...sorry, I didn't mean the real Lucifer. I meant the one in Lucifer's body."

"Me?" Satan asked with a confused look.

"Yep. Heheheh...I've always wanted to get a look at Lucifer auna-tu-rel! <3," Asmo spoke with a smirk on his face.

"I mean, the real Lucifer in his own body is the ultimate dream really. But even if it's only Satan in Lucifer's body, we could still-"

"Absolutely not," Lucifer interrupted Asmo before he could finish that sentence. 

"What?! Why not?! I mean, what's the harm?! It's just your body! Ugh, you're so stingy!" Asmo complained.

"Asmo, there's a reason why you're known as the Avatar of Lust and we all know what will happen if you take a sneak peek at Lucifer's body," I told him while Raven laughed.

"Aww was that compliment?" Asmo asked with a flirtatious look.

"No, it was not."

"Aww you're so mean~" Asmo pouted.

"You know though, speaking of baths, what are ya supposed to do when ya have to go to the bathroom and st-"

"MAAAAMMOOOON...." Lucifer shouted while he tried to hurt Mammon but, it didn't work.

"D'aah! ...Wait, what the..."

Lucifer's eyes widen when he realised that he has no strength to hurt Mammon like he usually does.

"...Hey, what's goin' on? Seriously, what's goin' on here?! I know that's Lucifer in there, but now that he's in Satan's body, that totally doesn't have the same impact! Like, it doesn't even hurt!" Mammon laughed.

"In fact, I feel like I can even stand up to him right now! And come to think of it, I'm the stronger of us two, huh?! I outrank Satan with Lucifer inside, don't I?!" Mammon continued to laugh.

"..It would seem so, yes," Lucifer grumbled.

"Oh dear, looks like that book has done more than just swapped bodies, I think it has weakened their strengths as well," Raven pointed out.

"It's starting to look that way," I mumbled.

"AHAHAHAHA! So, does this mean that the Great Mammon is the most powerful of all now?! That no one's left to stand in my way?! Pff, I ain't afraid o' no Lucifer!" Mammon continued to brag.

"Um, you do realise that it's only a matter of time before they return to their old bodies, right? Did you consider that before saying what you just did?" Asmo asked him.

"He's right Mammon, and I have a feeling that once Lucifer gets his body back...ugh, I can't imagine what the consequences are going to be like..." I told him while Raven whimpered in fear.

"*whimper* Aww..."

"You really are a moron..." Asmo told him with a frown.

"A complete idiot that's what you are. You should've been called the Avatar of stupidity never mind greed."

"Hey! don't call me an idiot!!" Mammon shouted at me.

"Okay, I think you two have outstayed your welcome, it's also late and we've got school in the morning. So, good night, see you in the morning, sleep tight and don't let the bed bugs bite," I told mammon and Asmo as Raven and I shoved them out of my room.

"Hey! don't push me!"

"(Y/n)-chan that's not very nice!"

Asmo and Mammon complained before I pushed them out of my room. 

"Hey wait a sec! you can't just throw us out like that!" Mammon shouted.

"I can because it's my room so, Night-night, boys!" I shouted before I slammed the door in the faces.

"Finally, some peace and quiet," I spoke with a relieved smile.

I heard Satan and Lucifer chuckling before turning around to look at them.

"How on earth do you two put up with them?" I asked them.

"I've been asking myself that one for quiet some time now, (Y/n)," Lucifer told me while Satan looked at my book shelf.

"You've got books based on mythology?"

"Yeah, I love reading books myths and legends, it gives me inspiration to draw as well," I spoke with a proud smile.

"So you're not just talented in music, you're also creative and a bookworm too?" Satan asked with a surprised look.

"That's right. It's not just step by step books I read either, I've got all different kinds of novels that I've bought from the bookstore," I told Satan as he continued to look at the books that I've collected since I've been here.

Lucifer, meanwhile, was looking at some of my drawings that I placed on the wall. He saw one of Cerberus and he looked surprised and maybe a little impressed.

"That's Cerberus."

"I drew that before I came here. As I told Satan I've read some books about mythical creatures and Cerberus was one of them. I have to admit, when I first saw him during our stay at Diavolo's castle, I wasn't expecting him to be your pet."

"Well, now you know," Lucifer spoke with a smirk as he looked at the rest of my drawings.

"Let's just hope he doesn't try to eat you the next time we see him," I told Lucifer before I sat down at my desk to work on my homework and the essay.

"Now if you boys don't mind, I have some homework to do," I told them before I put on my ear buds and I played music while I worked on my studies.

The next day...

We got to school as per Satan's, I mean Lucifer's orders because he told us we need to act like nothing is wrong otherwise we'll have Lord Diavolo coming over to see what all the fuss is about. 

"(Y/n), I think you know this, but I don't trust those two one bit," Satan (Lucifer) told we as we walked through the hallways. "Satan and Mammon think this whole situation is funny, and it's possible that they might do something outrageous for comical effect."

"You're right about that. I can already picture Mammon and Asmo plotting something behind our backs," I spoke with a small frown.

"(Y/n), I want you to keep an eye on those two. And if it looks like they're about to try anything they shouldn't-"

"...Hey! We're standin' RIGHT HERE, y'know!" Mammon complained.

"He wanted us to hear what he said," Lucifer (Satan) spoke with a frown.

Raven turned into his bigger form which is the size of a great dane and he growled at Lucifer (Satan) and Mammon which made them jump in fright. I laughed at their reactions before petting his head.

"Nice one Raven."

"Hello there, Lucifer," we heard a familiar voice speak up.

Lucifer sweat dropped when he saw Lord Diavolo.

"Good morning Lord Diavolo," I spoke with a smile.

"Why is Raven in his bigger form?" Diavolo asked before he turned back into smaller form and leaping onto my shoulder.

"Oh sorry about that. Mammon was being an idiot again and he turned into his bigger form to scare him."

"I see," Diavolo told me before his head and then he looked at Lucifer.

"So, what happened this morning? You always stop by the assembly hall first thing in the morning, but you weren't there today," Diavolo asked.

Lucifer whispered in Satan's ear, "Satan, you know what to do right?"

"Yeah, yeah. I just need to be a convincing you," Satan whispered back before he tried to put on a convincing performance.

"Hello hello hello, Diavolo! I'm sooo happy to see you! You're all I ever think about, honey. I dreamed about you again last night, and then I ended up oversleeping, which is why I wasn't at the assembly hall...!"

Lucifer glared at Satan while I quickly covered my mouth to prevent myself from laughing but Mammon didn't.

"AHAHAHAHA!!" Mammon laughed.

"Diavolo, is it just me or do you look tense? Want me to give you a nice shoulder massage? How about your arms? Maybe your legs too? If you're feeling tired, you just let me know, okay?" Satan asked.

"...Hey (Y/n). I'm not actually like that, am I? I'm really not right?" Lucifer asked me but, I couldn't back my laughs anymore.

"Pfft! hahahaha!!"

"Oh great..."

"Sorry, Lucifer I don't mean to laugh but it's just that...hahaha!" I laughed.

"I don't feel tense at all or tired for that matter," Diavolo told us. "...So, Satan. What are you doing inside Lucifer's body?"

I stopped laughing when he asked him this because I was surprised that he was able to figure it out right away.

"...Whoa, now THAT was impressive. Lord Diavolo could tell right off the bat that Lucifer here ain't Lucifer," Mammon pointed out.

"Ah, and the Satan over there seems moved for some reason. I suppose that means its Lucifer on the inside."

"...! Diavolo, you can tell it's me?" Satan (Lucifer) asked with a surprised look.

"Well, of course I can. We've known each other for a long time after all. 

"...Damn," Satan mumbled.

"So, let's hear it. What happened?" Diavolo asked me.

After explaining to Diavolo about the incident with the forbidden book, Diavolo got a better understanding of the situation.

"Ah, I see. So, you touched a forbidden book that causes spirits to switch bodies..."

"*Sigh* ...Lord Diavolo HAD to go and figure everything out..." Mammon mumbled before I elbowed him.

"Never did I think you'd see through the act so quickly. I underestimated you, Diavolo," Lucifer pointed out.

"It's good that the effect will wear off in a few days and you'll go back to your old bodies. However...Lucifer, I believe you're scheduled to give a speech to the entire student body the day after tomorrow, aren't you? Is everything going to be all right with that?"

Lucifer's eyes widen in shock and it looks like he has completely forgotten all about it. 

"Ooh, heh...looks like Lucifer's in a pickle!"

"I hate to say it but it sucks to be you right now, Lucifer," I spoke with a sweat drop running down the side of my head.
