▷Chapter 5
Previously:
[Name] smiled slyly at how confused Nine was. She turned to him, saying, "oh, didn't you know? This game was a qualification test."
-------
The group who were forced to play the game [Name] had instructed them to play, stared- but some glared- at the people in front of them. Yes, you read that right. There are currently eight people present in the room, the King of the Underworld suddenly appeared when the seven sins gathered for the results.
"Why are you even here anyway?" [Name] spoke first, not wanting the whole room to be in a suffocating atmosphere.
"Why not?" Lucifer said, in a boasting manner that annoyed [Name].
Nine coughed intentionally to interrupt the current dispute the two had. Then, he raised an eyebrow and asked [Name], "back to our discussion earlier, this whole goddamn game was actually a qualification test for us?"
"Exactly."
Nine roughly sat down at the couch near beside him as he heared the statement come out of [Name]'s mouth. The h/c-nette girl couldn't help but chuckle at him. He had proved to her that he was an interesting man enough to be a member of the troupe.
"Just so you know, Lucifer didn't instruct me to test you or anything." [Name] informed, waving her right hand in the air.
"Hmm, that's unusual." Greed wondered out loud.
[Name] pretended that she didn't heard that, and turned to Lucifer asking him, "aren't you gonna introduce them to me?"
The king of the Underworld gave her a tiring look, as if telling that it's too troublesome. A vein popped out of [Name]'s forehead when he gave that look to her. Then she threatened him that she would leave the Underworld not caring what would happen to her. Afraid that, that would happen he had no choice but to introduce the sins.
"Okay, fine." Lucifer said, then pointed at Nine. "You already know his name right? But I'm still going to say it. He's Synder Nine, the sin of Gluttony, the first to arrive."
"Hmm, okay." [Name] uttered, smiling at Nine.
"Next, would be Lust. His name is Kyusaku Akimitsu." [Name] nodded at him.
"My favorite child, Arawn Naoki. The sin of Greed." The small boy made a small bow, and [Name] responded back by bowing too.
"The sin of Wrath, Woojin Minsuh." Lucifer pointed to the purplenette which [Name] nodded and smiled.
"The sin of Envy, Theron Vaughn." The guy whom Lucifer gestured, offered a handshake to [Name] by which she gladly agreed.
Then, Lucifer introduced the last person who arrived before [Name]. "And lastly, Blaine Divya. The sin of Pride, who's name is also already known by you."
[Name] gave another nod before closing her eyes and clasping her hands together. After that, she slowly opened them and decided to introduce herself properly. "Okay, since I already know all of your names, I'm gonna introduce myself to you guys properly."
The group didn't reply but their gazes were enough to tell that it was okay with them. Although, they already know her name because their King had told them when she passed out minutes later after she arrived.
"My name is [Last Name] [Name], the sin of Sloth. And I hope we can all get together even though I treated you guys so cruel on our first encounter."

The door to the King's chamber slammed shut as two people entered, with [Name] sitting down at Lucifer's couch tiring as if she'd done a whole week with some homework.
"So, what do you think?" Lucifer asked, sitting down beside her. The girl looked at him, not saying anything before laying her head at his lap and placed her foot at the tips of the couch, then closed her eyes.
Lucifer's eyes widened a bit as he took a little bit of shock when the girl layed her head at his lap. He hesitantly stroke her hair, then smiled. He knew that she was tired, because she didn't even have thoughts whether kicking him out of his own room or just simply placing her head on his lap to rest. She let herself go this time.
[Name] opened her eyes to see Lucifer's face staring down at her. She cupped one of his cheeks before slapping it slightly, and gave him a small chuckle. "They're interesting, I'd say. Somehow, I see something in them that makes me want to tease them more."
"Oh? I see your already taking a liking to them."
[Name] heartily laughed at him, rising from laying down at his lap and stood up walking, towards the front door. "I'd like to know them better by tomorrow, Lu."
The king of the Underworld smiled to himself, nodding at the girl's words. Seeing that her superior understood what she said, she opened the door and left without saying another word.
