Hello everyone, TomboyJessie13 here. I am very sorry this took longer than it should have, I was more distracted by the internet and requests than I usual not to mention I was suffering a major writers block on how to end the chapter, plus...I had a bit of a dispute with a close friend that kinda caused production to slow down a little, but hopefully the whole mess is resolved and we'll be back in business in no time.

In the meantime I hope you like this chapter that I slaved over for several weeks if not months, if you don't like it, that's completely fine, just no hate please.

Chapter 19

Old Habits die hard

In an unknown room, it was all dark with only a single spotlight facing down, the only thing shown under that spotlight are the small yet fat briolette shaped gems that glitter when it hits the light, and a young man wearing a white cloak with a hood that covers his head and face sitting in a metallic chair, it was Alexander. He was observing seven colored gems in front of him...each color representing the Sinners of the Seven Deadly Sins. "Hmmmmm...something's not right." Alexander spoke under his breath, he then sent the gems back to their original place in the air. "...Those gems alone, though they tell the tale of each Demon Contractor, the Sinner's behavior to their environment and themselves seems to contradict what had happened in Evils Theater months ago...Did something happened during World's End?...Mmmm, maybe I should ask Behemo, he knows something that not even the gems know." He stood up from his seat and began heading for the entrance of the gem room, staff in hand.

Meanwhile in the Black Box

Nemesis was placed on an armchair in the living room, she was still completely paralyzed from the barrier blocking the exit, her hair was also standing on end from the shock that it even developed a cowlick on top of her head. Gallerian snapped his fingers to see if she can respond, no word.

"No good, Marlon." Behemo said, removing his rubber gloves. "The barrier Hellish Yard Master made was meant to paralyze anyone, Demon Contractor included, who tries getting out of the Underworld."

"How long will she be like that?" Kayo asked.

"At least another half hour, Hellish Yard Master placed a delay mechanism in the spell that prevents the person who got paralyzed by the barrier from moving until 30 minutes is up, thus buying her enough time to drag the person back to the bowls of hell and making sure they stay there."

"That's so clever." Banica said, astonished by the spell's mechanism. "Why haven't I thought of that? I've could've used that on Carlos."

"Tough break, huh Nemesis?" Riliane asked her as she placed her hand on her shoulder..."BUHUHUHUHUHUHUHUHUH!" Riliane started spazzing out uncontrollably before letting go of her, she fell on her butt with a thud. Sateriasis laughed at her for it.

"One more thing: Refrain from touching her for the next 15 minutes until the electricity leaves her body unless you're wearing rubber gloves, that goes double for you if you're planning on doing something to her, Marlon." Behemo finished, Gallerian's eyes widened as he backed away from the daughter he unfortunately sired.

"Are you ok?" Allen asked her as he carefully picked her up.

"Y-yeah." She stuttered. "Ooooooh, my hair is ruined!" She groaned in frustration, brushing her now spazzed hair. Just then they heard a weird sound coming from somewhere, it sounded like some form of music, but the singer doesn't sound human, and no one can recognize the melody or instrumental. It just went:

"Chanto kocchi muite Baby, No nante iwasenai wa, honki moodo nan dakara, omowazu mitorechau buru buru kuchibiru de, kimi wo toriko ni suru no, kyou koso shoubu nan desu!"

"What in the world is that?" Kayo asked.

"Oh! I know what it is! I got it." Behemo took out a small black rectangular device with a screen from his pocket, that's where the sound was coming from, It was a mobile phone. The device's background was a picture of himself wearing sunglasses, doing a V-sign from behind the unamused Held's head. He pressed the button on picture of the phone that's on the screen and began talking to it. "Hello?...Oh hey, Held...he's here?...Ok, I'll be there...thanks." He hanged up. "I gotta go, I have to meet someone...eh?" He turned to find that the Sinners, except for Nemesis, Allen, and Banica, had made a fort out of an upside down couch and pillows with a crucifix stuck on top, wearing pots as helmets and wielding kitchen knives, pans, spatulas, and a broom as weapons, with Kayo chanting something in Jakokunese while holding beads and a hand held buddha figure.

"Geez, they act like they never seen a Mobile Phone before." Banica joked, unlike the other Sinners, she and Allen knew about what the Gods and Demons's technology from the Second Period was and what it can do...though Banica only knows little of it because the Demon she ate had no recollection of his past life.

"I don't blame them, Evillious perished before the humans reached that level of advanced technology...well anyways I got to get going, I got a..."friend" to meet."

"Alright, goodbye." Allen said as Behemo walked out.

"Is that rectangle monster gone?" Margarita squeaked as she crawled out of the couch.

"You mean Behemo's phone? Yes." Allen said, Margarita sighed in relief. The Sinners then began putting the couch back to where it was, along with the kitchen appliances they got out, and pulled the Crucifix off. Allen couldn't help but chuckle at them.

"What's so funny?" Riliane asked Allen in irritation.

"Oh it's nothing." Allen smiled mischievously.

RIIIIIIIIIING...RIIIIIIIIIING

The Sinners became startled by another noise, they hoped that it wasn't major.

"Waaaaaait..." Gallerian said suddenly, he then pointed that the source of the noise: an Victorian rotary dial telephone, an item they can all recognize from Margarita's era. They calmed down, Banica looked at Allen with confusion on her face, Allen knew what she would say and just shook his head at her, meaning that asking him about the phone will not be worth it. Gallerian picked up the phone. "Yes?...You want to talk to Sateriasis?" Sateriasis perked up when he said his name. "Alright I'll get him." Gallerian turned to the Duke and gave him the phone. "It's for you." Sateriasis took the phone carefully.

"Hello? Who is this?" He asked the person on the other end, "...Oh well hello there, Darling!" Sateraisis immediately beamed up, he looks at the sinners, "I'm gonna use the phone in the laundry room, so wait here." He then went into the laundry room, that is in the basement turned tailor shop. When the other sinners left, Allen followed the Duke into the basement and listened closely, this is what he heard: "Yes I'm doing fine, you don't have t-...Oh really?...I would love to...but it's a little complicated since...on second thought I'll figure something out...yes, meet me in a few minutes..." This gave Allen an idea of what Sateriasis maybe planning and he ain't having it.

"Oh no you don't." Allen then stomped down and snatched the phone away. "Who is this?...", but no response, they hung up. "Dammit...Venomania, whatever your doing, don't do it. We're not having any more people involved in this...wait...your not allowed to leave the box...what are you even doing anyways?"

"I'm not saying." He said with an impish grin on his face.

"Venomania, you tell me this instant." Sateriasis only stuck his tongue at him. "Looks like you chose the hard way." Allen then cracked his fingers.

"What are you-" Allen began to tickle Sateriasis's armpits, he tried to pry the boy off but that only made Allen do it harder. "HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAA!" The Duke laughed very hard from being tickled that he lost his will to stand up straight, he fell on his knees and then on his side, Allen took the chance to sit on his back.

"I should've done this to him at his manor a long time ago." Allen said as he kept tickling, clearly he was enjoying this.

"Ok, what am I looking at?" Gallerian asked with a dissatisfied look on his face.

"What else am I supposed to do?." Allen answered, trying to holding back his smile. Allen stops, allowing Sateriasis to breath. "Now tell me what you are planning?" Sateriasis only glared at him as he panted.

"I'll take it to my grave." Sateriasis breathed out.

"Very well." Allen then continued with his antics, causing Sateriasis to laugh again.

"HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! STO-O-O-O-O-O-OP! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!" Sateriasis laughed as he began lashing out under Allen's weight. "I'M-MEAN IT BOY! HAHAHAHA! I MEAN IT!" He then built up his strength to throw Allen off of him into the washing machine, and locked it.

"LET ME OUT! LET ME OUT!" Allen muffled repeatedly as he banged the window of the machine. Sateriasis fogged up the machine's window with his breath and then drew a crude picture of Allen as a baby, crying, implying that the boy is a crybaby. Sateriasis then pulled down his right bottom eye lid while sticking his tongue out at him, Allen began to thrash out inside the Machine trying to escape. Sateriasis just walked out and locked the door, he sighed as he leans against the door.

"Well...you just did that to the boy." Gallerian sneered at him.

"It was all in the heat of the moment, Judge, I never meant to go that far but I did anyway..." He looks at Gallerian. "And if you speak a word of this to Riliane, I'll let her know that you're an accomplice and she will hunt you down like the miserable little mongrel you are."

"Huh, all you have to say was "please"." They then proceed to return to the bedrooms where the girls are.

"Where's Allen?" Riliane asked, sitting on her bed.

"He decided to take leave for a while so we're left to defend ourselves." Sateriasis lied. "And Galley here is gonna look after you ladies, right Galley?" He gave him a grin that looks threatening.

"Uh, yeah." Gallerian answered sheepishly.

"Good, now if you excuse me, I got preparations to make so stay here and look after the girls here."

"Preparations for what?" Kayo asked, raising an eyebrow.

"Goodbye!" He leaves.

"So, what are we gonna do now?" Banica asked. "There's no alcohol so we can't have any drinking games."

"Banica, stop." Kayo said. "You and your alcohol obsession."

"We can go outside for a while." Margarita suggested while knitting. "There's a pond to swim in or maybe a round of badminton?"

"It's a little too cold to do that though." Riliane said. "I felt a cold breeze when Nemesis chased Jun's Adviser."

"I wonder how the box can make weather like that?" Gallerian thought to himself as he put on rubber gloves.

"What are you doing, Gallerian?"

"You know what I'm doing." He took out a marker and began to draw on the comatose Nemesis's face, who was taken into the bedroom beforehand.

"HEY!" Margarita exclaimed.

"Oh come on you know it was gonna happen sooner or later, and I'm wearing gloves in case she's still covered in electricity." Riliane then kicks the marker out of his hand. "Ow!"

Meanwhile in the Laundry room

Allen was still banging on the door of the washing machine before tiring out finally, "Venomania...is seriously...gonna let me...die in here...is he?" He took a few moments to rest up a bit before trying to get himself out of the machine. However, that resulted in knocking one of the smaller boxes off the shelf above, turning the switch the activates the machine. "Oh no, what did it do? WHAT DID IT DO!?" Allen panics, the machine started buffering and shaking, and before the boy knew, it started spinning, the machine's spin cycle was activated, and to make things worse: there's water coming inside the machine, meaning that it was set to "rinse". "AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" Allen screams inside the machine before being muffled out by the water inside.

Back upstairs

Five of the sinners are sitting in a circle in the middle of the room with cards in their hands with various colored chips in the middle, they seem to be playing poker. They held their decks carefully hoping that no one catches a glimpse of the other's deck. Margarita was the only one smiling, she was tapped by Banica.

"Darling, you gotta have a poker face like mine." Banica said, pointing at her blank face, Margarita followed suit and dropped the smile. Kayo then threw in two big blinds, meaning it's her call.

"What cards do you have?" Kayo asked.

"Straight!" Margarita said, holding out her deck.

"One pair." She replied.

"Three of a Kind." Banica said.

"Full house." Gallerian said with a smirk on his face, he then put down his deck to grab the chips. "Sooooo I guess I can take the winnings and-"

"Ah ah ah." Riliane said, halting his actions, she placed down her deck. "Four of a kind."

"WHAT!?" Gallerian exclaimed in surprise.

"I win! I win! I win!" Riliane repeats herself as she grabs the chips.

"You damn brat, you cheated."

"Look who's calling who a cheater." They heard another voice whispering in the room, they turned and saw Nemesis staring at them with a blank face, staring into their souls even.

"Was that you, Nemesis?" Kayo asked.

"Yeah." She answered as she slowly sat up in her bed, still shaken up from being electrocuted, she then looked at her father for a few moments before attempting to strangle him, but only weakly, she can barely make him gag at her current state.

"What are you doing?" Gallerian asked while being "strangled".

"That's for drawing on my face, you think I slept with my eyes open or something?" She asked, not having the energy to raise her voice at him. "I can still see what your doing and every word you say, you pathetic old bastard."

"Let go of my neck." Gallerian easily pried her hands off his neck and gently shoved her back into bed.

"I feel so out of energy."Nemesis stared at the ceiling.

"How about I get your favorite drink" Margarita asked as she stood up, fixing her dress. "Maybe that will give you some energy." She then went to the door to leave the room, when she opened it... "Oh!"

"What? Riliane asked fixing the cards, she then gawked in surprised when she saw what Margarita was seeing. The others had froze up as well when they saw a reflection of Margarita by the doorway...except her hair is more curled up, wears a light blue rose necklace, and a shorter and larger dress that looks more like lingere than a normal nightgown. Everyone stared at the reflection as if they saw a ghost standing there. Margarita tilted her head to the right, her reflection followed, Margarita did the same with the left, and so did the reflection. Margarita lifted her right hand, her reflection lifted the opposite to mirror hers. Margarita placed her hand on the reflection, it felt real, suddenly the reflection grabbed Margarita and began to hug her tightly.

"OH YAY! THE REFLECTION IS A REAL! MIKULIA'S SO HAPPY!" The reflection, no, Mikulia cheered as she continued jumping while holding Margarita in her embrace.

"Mikulia? Wait, you're Mikulia Greeonio, one of Sateriasis's girls!" Kayo said in surprise.

"Yep! That's me! Sati invited Mikulia and my friends over!" Mikulia said smiling, letting Margarita go.

"So that's who was talking to Sateriasis on the phone earlier, they're wanting to see him again despite what the gods say." Gallerian thought to himself, now completely understanding what Sateriasis's motive was. The Sinners then got out the room to see that the first floor is being over run by women wearing the same type of clothing as Mikulia's, the whole place was starting to smell like lavender as well.

"And I thought Riliane's ballroom was lively." Banica commented as she was trying to move pass through the sea of women.

"Meh, this is actually smaller compared to my ballroom." Riliane was stuck between two women.

"I don't see the horse, Josephine." Kayo said looking over. "I guess the rumors of Sateriasis's Beastialty was false after all."

"Of course it was false! That's what I've been trying to tell you!" They heard Sateriasis call over from the living room, who is sitting in an armchair accompanied with two more women; Lukana Octo, a Tailor and Kayo's ancestor, and Maylis Beelzenia, 3rd Princess of the Beelzenian Empire and Banica's ancestor. "And I see Mikulia went into your room instead of the restroom."

"I'm sorry, Lord Venomania, Mikulia didn't know which room is which." Mikulia said, sounding very sad, but lit up when Sateriasis pet her.

"It's alright darling, accidents happen." He comforts her, making her smile again. "After all it's not like this would be kept hidden forever."

"This is absolute insanity." Gallerian said while navigating through a sea of women, the other sinners stayed behind. "We're not even supposed to have visitors over." He finished while fixing his tie.

"Well Judge." Sateriasis stood up and walked towards him. "You ain't the innocent one either, since you have witness me putting the Servant of Evil in his proper place and have not stopped me." He walked back.

"Oppsies." One of the women said in the background, she sounded quiet younger, a minor or a 19 year old even.

"From what I'm seeing, I'm starting to regret it." Gallerian sighed and walked away. "I'm outta here."

"What is he talking about?" Banica asked.

"I don't know." Maylis said, appearing next to her. "You must be my descendant, Banica."

"That's correct, and your Sati's mistress who was Beelzenia's 3rd Princess at the time."

"Indeed, I once investigated the disappearances Venomania caused before we met in person."

"I see." That made Banica feel a little uneasy, "Any reason why you stay with him?"

"Most of the women here have different reasons of coming back to see him. As for me, I absolutely despised him for what he has done, but knowing that he was the father of my child I simply can't stay from him either, that and I'm using this visit as a chance to meet you in person, Banica. I heard a lot of things about you."

"Ah so you have, I'm not surprised."

"Yes, you were quite of a legend in the Heavenly Yard, though I was a bit upset that you even attempt to eat your child." Maylis poured herself a glass of red colored liquid.

"Well I didn't, my Demon was pushing me to eat my son but I ate myself instead, which in turn also ate Vlad." Banica puffed, she then sees the glass. "Is that my blood grave? Allen banned alcohol here."

"We brought it, I have to admit this is some delicious wine you've invented." She drinks it.

"Pour me some." Banica said as she held out her glass, and Maylis complied.

Meanwhile in the kitchen, Nemesis was laying face down on the table, still feeling drowsy to even feel emotions, she didn't even resist when another girl in the Duke's harem, Lilien Turner, a 24-year-old Baker began scrubbing markers off her face. Kayo was showing her works to her ancestor Lukana as a form of bonding.

"You really are my descendant, your works are incredible." Lukana said, brushing her thumbs on the black dress Kayo recently made.

"Thank you, Lukana-san." She said with a smile on her face."

"Who's dress is that?" Nemesis asked drowsily.

"Your's."

"Really?"

"Yes, black is your trademark color, you can try it on when you feel better."

"Huh, cool." She then looks at Lukana. "You're Lukana right? Why did you still stay with that pervert despite what he did to you?"

"Nemesis!" Kayo called out.

"I-it's ok, we're not gonna pretend it didn't happen, you wouldn't exist otherwise." Lukana said, calming down her descendant. "It's a bit complicated, yes I'm disgusted by what Sateriasis did to me and everyone else, but I can't hate him either. Some of us knew that deep down that he's a lonely child wanting to be loved because of how the people around him treat him in his youth." Lukana finished. Lilien only rolled her eyes at what she said.

"Your talking like the leading-lady from "Beauty and the Beast", stop acting like a idiot and realize that he's a disgusting asshole who you shouldn't be associating yourself with." Nemesis berated her, though could not raise her voice because of the shock she's still recovering from. Lukana only ignored her and walked away with Kayo following behind, Kayo only shrugged at Nemesis while shaking her head, meaning that the damage was already done and couldn't change her mind.

"It's no use, Nemesis is it?" Lilien said to Nemesis. "I tried getting it through to her as well but she wouldn't listen, I feel really about it."

"I heard that you acted like that before."

"That was when that beast was using me."

"Hm, true. But why are you here when you despise Sati?"

"I only came because I wanted to make sure Lukana is safe." She then took out a barbarian club with spikes on it. "I brought this just in case he tries anything stupid like before."

"I like you." Nemesis said, pointing at her.

Back in the living room, Banica was completely tipsy and was singing alongside her ancestor Maylis, apparently the women brought over alcohol to the box. Sateriasis and some of the other girls were laughing at the display before them, and Mikulia was giving Margarita a new hairstyle with fake roses in her hair.

"I can't believe you idiots are even allowing this to happen." Riliane berated the sinners. "This is Sati's harem for crying out loud, something he created through kidnapping women."

"You can lecture us as much as you want, child." Sateriasis teased. "But no ones gonna listen."

"Ugh, you're a leech." She walks past Gallerian who was sitting down on the couch watching the shameless display of debauchery. "I know Behemo isn't around, but I am gonna try to get some assistence, where's the phone?"

"Finally, something we can agree on." Gallerian puffed, crossing his arms and leaning back on the coach. And just when he began to feel comfortable, he felt something wrapping their hands around his left arm, he slowly turned his head and a sees a woman with silver hair and grey eyes, smiling at him seductively. "Hello?"

"I heard that your mother is named "Elluka"." The woman said to him in a smooth voice. "I was her apprentice y'know, at least that's what I told everyone back at my hometown." Gallerian realized who this woman was, it was Venomania's fourth victim, Mirigan Adi, a 28-year-old con artist pretending to be a fortune teller.

"I think the Elluka you're thinking of is not the same person." Gallerian answered in a defensive tone.

"Oh that's a shame." She pouted, but then she smiled at him. "But at least you got one thing to make up for it: the same beauty as the Duke himself." She brushed her hand on his chest. Gallerian blushed.

"Wh-what are you doing?" He stuttered.

"The Duke's busy with all those other girls, why not have some quality time while he isn't looking?" She moved her body onto him. Finally getting what the woman wanted.

"BAD TOUCH! BAD TOUCH! BAD TOUCH!" Gallerian yelled for help as he tried crawling away from the con artist, everyone turned their attention to the con-artist trying to kiss the corrupted Judge.

"BLOODY HELL, MIRIGAN!?" Sateriasis called out irritably.

"Hmpf." Mirigan puffed out, crossing her arms. "But you were spending so much time with the others that I got impatient."

"Well you could've just asked instead of two-timing me with a two-timer." Sateriasis snorted angrily.

"WHAT!?" Gallerian exclaimed furiously, having the Duke mention his affair is very aggravating.

"You're the one to talk, serial-kidnapper." Lilien said from the kitchen in a dissatisfied tone.

"Just for that, you're gonna wait your turn." Sateriasis said, doing a fanning motion with his head, Mirigan only pouted in sheer disappointment.

"I will not be made a fool of." Gallerian thought irritably as he grumbled and crawled out of the room on all fours into the hallway. "I will not sit by and be harassed by that pervert's women and be treated like rubbish." His cloak got snagged by a nail stuck on the door, he tried pulling it but it was no use, instead he just removed his cloak instead, revealing his vest. He then stood up when he reached the basement. "I should've stopped Sateriasis when I had the chance." Gallerian said out loud finally as he stepped inside the basement, surprisingly enough it was overrun with more women, who are conversing and trying on Kayo's kimonos.

"Can I help you sir?" One of the girls said sheepishly, she has redish pink hair with matching eyes and twirled drills for pigtails, and also looked like she could be in her teens, she was also accompanied by a girl who resembles his ancestor Ney and a Netsuma who resembles Clarith.

"Are you kidding me? What is this, a brothel? Get the hell out of here!" Gallerian berated the girls, they complied and quickly left the basement. "I don't care if I get punished or beaten, I'm gonna put an end to his ridiculousness once and for all." He then opened the door to the laundry room and found that Riliane was in the room, standing over a possibly lifeless Allen, the machine was open and the ground was full of water, soaking Riliane's dress. "Oh no." Gallerian thought to himself in horror, he tried to sneak away when Riliane swiftly turned, her face was darken and hidden under her bangs. "GACK!"

"You knew about this didn't you?" Riliane asked in a low raspy voice. Gallerian can feel her rage seeping from her hair covered eyes into his own.

"...I-I-I-I-I Wa-wanted to s-stop him, b-b-b-but h-he threaten to make me s-s-suffer if I d-did." Gallerian stuttered, that only made Riliane even more angry. She grabbed him by his hair and started pulling on it. "AAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHH!"

"YOU-NO-GOOD-DOUBLE-CROSSING-STREET-RAT-MY-BROTHER-COULD'VE-DROWNED-IN-THERE-BECAUSE-OF-YOU-BEING-A-STUPID-COWARD-YOU-AND-THAT-PERVERT-DON'T-DESERVE-TO-BE-IN-THE-HEAVENLY-YARD-AT-ALL-THE-HELLISH-YARD-IS-WHERE-YOU-BELONG-YOU-BEAST!" Riliane screamed in one breath while she continued pulling on his hair.

"I DIDN'T EVEN TURN ON THE MACHINE...ACK!" He felt something grabbed his ankle, he sees Allen clawing on his pant leg with both hands. The poor boy looked up at the Judge with a blank and shocked expression on his face, it's almost as if he saw hell with his own eyes. "Ummm, are you feeling alright? Did you do something that started the machine?" Riliane slapped him on the back of the head. "OW!"

"I'm...gonna...kill...that...bastard." Allen said in a shaky but very dark voice. He tried standing up but is weak from almost drowning in the machine, and completely disoriented because of the spin cycle. However the water underneath his feat made him slip, he grabbed hold of the white sheet and it tore off as well, Allen slammed his head into the wall, causing a bucket of black paint to fall off from the shelf and landed on his head. "OW!"

"Allen!" Riliane exclaimed as she pried the bucket off his head. "We need to clean you up!"

"I'm gonna kill him." Allen blabbed again. "I'm gonna kill him, I'm gonna kill him, I'm gonna kill him, I'm gonna kill him, I'm gonna kill him..." He kept repeating over and over while stumbling out of the laundry room drenched in black paint and cloaked in white, he couldn't see an inch in front of him because of the paint.

Meanwhile Upstairs

Sateriasis was still conversing with his women in the living room, however, he was quickly getting bored and somewhat anxious. For he, after looking over the place and counted all the women who came over, he noticed that he's missing someone...Gumina Glassred, his childhood friend.

"Anything the matter, Lord Venomania?" Mikulia asked innocently, she seemed to be wearing Gallerian's cloak that got snagged by the doorway, it looked completely oversized on her. "Is there anything Mikulia can do?"

"Hm? Well yes, but please promise me that you wouldn't get jealous, love?"

"Ok."

"I don't see Gumina Glassred anywhere, is she here?" The girls that are present in the room froze, they looked at each other. "Is there something wrong?"

"Sati...we didn't want to tell you this since you seemed close to her...but she refused to come." Lukana said softly, Sateriasis was silent when she answered him.

"...She...isn't coming?" He clenched his hands on the armchair.

"We're sorry, Lord Venomania." Mikulia said in a sad tone. "We tried convincing Gumina to come, because we know how close you two were, but she kept refusing."

"Yeah...saying she doesn't want to be affiliated with Sateriasis." The redish-pink haired girl with drilled pigtails said.

"Not...affiliated...with...?"

"I'm not surprised that she wouldn't come." Nemesis said as she leaned by the doorway, she was becoming more active than usual, meaning the effects of the barrier was wearing off. "I mean you done horrible things in the past so Gumina not showing up is reasonable."

"Nemesis!" Margarita exclaimed. Sateriasis was left in complete disbelief, the only person he truly loved never never wanted to see him again because of how poorly he treated her. Just then he stood from his seat, his fists were starting to shake aggressively...that's when he snapped.

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" He yelled at the top of his lungs before he grabbed a chair and threw it across the room towards the window, breaking it. The girls in his harem became scared and quickly left the living room, Lilien Turner closed the wooden slide doors to prevent the angered Duke from hurting the girls. In the hallway and kitchen area, they can still hear Sateriasis's frightful rage as the sounds of glass breaking and wood smashing can by heard. "IT'S NOT FAIR! WHY DID SHE CHOOSE MY BROTHER OVER ME!? WHY DO I HAVE TO BE BORN A MONSTER! WHY ME!? I HATE IT! I HATE MY LIFE! I HATE MY BROTHER! I HATE MY FATHER! I HATE MY MOTHER! I HATE EVERYONE IN THIS GODDAMN PLANET!" They hear Sateriasis scream behind closed doors as he kept destroying the living area.

"I'm scared." The black haired girl said.

"Me to." The frightened Netsuma said.

"Now look what you did." Margarita scolded Nemesis as she glared. She was embracing the frightened Mikulia to calm her down.

"What I did!?" Nemesis exclaimed, her emotions indicate she's now fully recovered from the shock. "I was being honest! I mean are we just going to ignore the fact that what Venomania did to the women was wrong?"

"THANK YOU!" Lilien said in an irritated tone.

"We all knew that, *hic* Sati knew that, you don't have to *hic* bring it up again." Banica slurred.

"Oh my god...Where's Riliane when you need her?"

KNOCK...KNOCK...KNOCK

"Huh?" Just then, the blond haired girl who resembles Ney heard slow knocking noises from the basement door, she went to the door and opened it. "AHHHHHH!" She jumped back in horror when she saw the paint drenched Allen, wearing white sheets, and crawling on the stairs on all fours. He now looked like a creature from a horror movie than a normal human being. "MONSTER! MONSTER IN THE BASEMENT!" The girls screamed when they saw him in the state he's in and ran into the dining room.

"IT'S THAT SADAKO CHICK FROM ONE OF JUN'S MOVIES!" Nemesis yelled out while hiding behind a chair in the kitchen holding her scissors, Allen was clawing on the closed slide doors to the living room, where Sateriasis is currently in.

"OH NO! IT'S GONNA GET LORD VENOMANIA!" Mikulia screamed in horror.

"I'LL TAKE CARE OF THIS!" Kayo yelled as she grabbed Lilien's barbarian club.

"NO STOP! THAT'S MY BROTHER!" Riliane called out to Kayo after exiting the basement, but Kayo didn't listen and proceeds to attack the poor boy. However, she can't swing it, it was being held back by something...or someone, because when looked behind, she saw Held holding the club with one hand.

"Are we just about through?" He asked stoically. The Harem saw the former Earth God of the Millennium Tree Forest and they all began praying to him, Held took notice to it. "At ease ladies, I appreciate the formalities but it doesn't excuse your trespassing on private property of Sickle's."

"We're sorry." Lukana explained. "We came here to keep Venomania company because of what the man on glasses said about visitors."

"Man in glasses?" Held asked, cocking his head to the right.

"Yeah, He approached us and said that you and the other gods are ok with Venomania and the others getting visitors anytime without restraints." Mirigan said, "We didn't know it was a lie...was it?" Held sighed deeply in disappointment, he knew who was responsible for this farce: Seth Twiright.

"It was a lie, he's trying to get you all in trouble." Held then said.

"At this point I'm not surprised." Nemesis said. "Who called you anyways?"

"I did." Riliane said. "As much as I wanted to see people I know and love like that stupid Pervert, I don't want this godforsaken place being reduced to a debauchery cesspool." She huffed.

"Good work, you did the right thing." Held said, although still expressionless. "Now everyone but the Sinners return the Heavenly Yard immediately, Sickle is worried sick about you."

"What about Sateriasis? We can't just leave him." Lukana said.

"We'll handle it, you go with Clarith." Held said as both Michaela and Clarith arrived, Michaela waves at them.

"Let's go everyone." Clarith said, motioning her hand and the Harem complied, "I know most of you miss the Duke but we all have to follow the rules, whither you like it or not." some of them were quite reluctant on leaving but they had no choice.

"Hey, has anyone seen my judge's cloak?" Gallerian asks while crawling on all fours. "It was snagged on this door and I had to take it off."

"Oh I think I saw Mikulia wearing it earlier." Kayo said. "She must've took it with her."

"MY CLOAK!" Gallerian runs outside to get his coat back, at that moment, Mikulia, still wearing Gallerian's cloak, dematerialized into particles of light along side Lukana and Maylis. Gallerian tried to catch her, but it was too late, she's gone alongside his cloak, never to be seen again. "NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!" He slumped on his knees and started found the ground with his fists.

"Figures, he loses his pride and acts like a baby over materialistic things, even the clothes on his back." Riliane puffs.

"You could say that again." Nemesis said. "Forget about that cloak, Dad! You don't even need it anymore! You lost your job as a Judge, remember?"

"Well now that the women are out of the way, how are we gonna calm these two down?" Held asked, pointing at Allen still clawing at the sliding door.

"I know just the thing!" Michaela said as she smiles. She cleared her throat and began singing a melody:

"Sennen no chikai hibike chinohate made
Horobi no unmei tsunagitomeru VIIGENRIIDO
Anata to no chigai
Dakedo hika re atta
Mamotte ageru dakara
Soba ni ite"

Her voice alone not only has potential of sounding beautiful and golden, it also possessed magical capabilities based on what song she uses thanks to Elluka Clockworker, it can activate means of communication through enchanted vegetables or detect vessels of sins, the song she sang was to cure one's sickness just like she did for Allen before many centuries ago when they first met. Every note she sang reached the servant boy's ears, slowly but gradually caused Allen to slow down on his actions until eventually he fell asleep, the black paint on his face also began disappearing from his face. At the same time, the noises in the living room stopped, did Sateriasis hear Michaela's song to? Michaela finally finished singing, earning a round of applause from Held and the Sinners present.

"Brava Michaela! Brava!" Banica said excitedly, apparently Michaela's song seemed to have made her sober as well, Michaela bowed.

"Thank you, Michaela." Held said as he walked over to the slide door, he opened it to find the living room in complete shambles. The bookcase was in splintery pieces with only a few books looking like they've bitten off with each pages torn out, the couches and remaining armchairs were torn to ribbons with couch stuffing everywhere, broken pottery all over the floor, the fireplace looked like it's been set on fire even though there were no matches in the room, and a fire iron jammed into the wall after stabbing it several times, and on the floor is Sateriasis, lying on side in a fatal position. "Goodness, he practically destroyed the entire room." Held said, somewhat shocked that Sateriasis would cause this much destruction.

"Is Sateriasis awake?" Riliane asked as she walked over to him and took a good look at his face. "He's out of it to."

"I suggest you ladies look after Irregular and make sure he gets some rest, while I'll take the Duke."

"Are you gonna throw him in the Hellish Yard?" Kayo asked.

"No, but he will be punished for making a mess and causing harm to the boy, I'm taking him to Behemo."

"Please be gentle, he seemed really heartbroken about the whole thing." Margarita said, Held only looked at her.

"...We'll just see about that." That was Held's only reply, he then picked up the unconscious Duke and threw him over his shoulder. Held walked out with Michaela following close behind, Michaela waved goodbye to everyone before disappearing into bits of light particles.

END CHAPTER

* The song playing in Behemo's phone was "Look this way, Baby" by Ryo featuring Hatsune Miku, it was originally gonna be "Levan Polka" but it's lyrics are so nonsensical that no one would recognize it and think that Behemo's listening to plain gibberish. In addition, the song Michaela sang was the Japanese lyrics to "Tree Maiden ~Millennium Wiegenlied~" by Mothy featuring Hatsune Miku and Yowane Haku.

** I actually wanted to right this chapter for years, though loosely inspired, but couldn't find the opportunity to write it until now, except the girl seducing Gallerian was originally gonna be Hakua Netsuma(Yowane Haku) but I switched her to Mirigan Adi(MIRIAM) because there isn't a lot of info on Hakua and didn't want to mess up, that and because Gallerian's mom is "Elluka" and Mirigan claimed she's Elluka's apprentice for cash, it would add a connection.

*** What Nemesis said is based off the contraversy that the leading lady(aka Belle) from "Beauty and the Beast" developed Stockholm Syndrome, I won't say anymore because I don't wanna start a war zone in the comments.

**** Yes, Mikulia speaks in 1st Person so don't bother asking.

***** Sadako is the girl from Ringu that comes out of TVs and kills people.

****** This marks as the last appearance of Gallerian's Cloak, you'll never see him wearing it again...I'll show myself out now.
