Previously:

With all of the might of his voice, he shouted getting the attention of the girl.

"[LASTNAME] [NAME]! GET YOUR FAT ASS BACK HERE AND TAKE CARE OF WHAT YOU HAVE BROUGHT HOME!!"

----------

Today was as busy as any other day would be, specially with the seven deadly sins' work. Minsuh was arguing with Naoki to change the error that he was editing. Akimitsu and Nine did an overlook on the land, checking if there were breaches or weird activities happening. Divya and Theron was... Well, they were actually well on terms with other.

The whole office was filled with their noises, ringing an annoyance to the ear. But it was all halted when a certain eccentric girl opening the door roughly, a smile on her lips like she would always do every single day. Then she uttered the same greeting to everyone as she always did: "Good morning, guys~!"

"Good morni-" Divya replied but stopped when she saw a person next to [Name]. "Um, who's he?"

"Hmm? Oh, him?" [Name] pointed to her right, then placed her arm at hus shoulder before introducing him. "Guys, you already know him. He's Isamu."

"..."

Silence filled the room as soon as [Name] said his name. They stared at the guy analyzing his features. He had short straight black hair, and his eyes were the same as Lucifer's, blood red, slitted eyes. He was wearing clothes that were engulfed in black, red, and a little bit of gold.

As they finished looking at him, one thing was all on their minds, when they heard the girl utter his name. Then they spoke it out loud.

"WHAAAATT?"

"Eh? Is it that surprising?" [Name] scratched the nape of her neck as she sweatdropped at their reaction.

"But wasn't he a lion?" Minsuh asked.

"Yup." [Name] answered. "When I woke up, I already saw him sleeping at my couch in his human form. Apparently he explained to me earlier that he could transform into his original form, his human form, and a smaller form of his original one anytime he wants."

"Oh.." Minsuh nodded her head slowly, processing what [Name] had said. 'He's a handful, huh.' She thought.

"So, what are we upto today?" [Name] asked, changing the subject.

"Three new people arrived today."

"Gender?"

"Two boys, one girl. Annndd currently, the King's doing his introduction thingy before he would sent the girl here."

[Name] nodded at Minsuh, and sat at a chair with Isamu sitting beside her.

After a couple of minutes of waiting, four people finally entered the room before [Name] could die of boredom.

"Oh, I see the lazy girl is actually here today."

"Tch." [Name] averted her chair away as she saw the black haired male.

"Oi, what's that supposed to mean?"  A tick mark appeared on Lucifer's forehead as he heard what the girl said. He walked towards [Name] reaching for her shoulder to turn her around but an arm quickly reacted, blocking Lucifer so he wouldn't touch the girl.

Hearing that Lucifer stopped in his tracks, [Name] turned around and saw Isamu doing a defensive stance. She chuckled, thinking that Isamu was adorable for protecting her like that.

When Lucifer saw the arm in front of him, he trailed it until his eyes landed on the face of the person. From his point of view, it was like seeing a twin, or a long lost brother because the person in front was a lot like him.

"Who's this guy?"

"Isamu. The black lion from yesterday."

"So he can tranform into a human now? Like somekind of mythical beast?" Lucifer spoke sarcastically.

[Name] noticed that his reaction was different from the six which made her smile at the King. Then she took her time to gaze at Lucifer's features as well as Isamu's.

The king's black hair was a little bit the same as Isamu's. He had messy black hair upto his nape, it was placed down with some bangs framing his face. His red slitted eyes was the same as Isamu's, though his was little bit darker than the color of the said lion. And lastly, both of them had the same fair white skin complexion.

"Do you plan on leaving them hanging like that, Lucifer?"

The King's mind snapped back to reality when he heard the question. He forgot that there were three new people around. "Ah, right. Lunna, Kazu, and Tetsu meet the generals whom you'll work with starting tomorrow."

The sins waved at them and greeted a 'hello' before flashing a smile to the three. The King then bid farewell to them, saying that he's tired and didn't get enough sleep so he wanted to rest.

"Sleep well, King!" Naoki smiled.

Lucifer smiled back at him then looked at Nine. "I'll leave the rest to you then."

Nine nodded, assuring the King that everything will be fine. Theron then passed the bio chart of the new three to Nine.

After a couple of minutes, Nine's bicolored eyes finished reading their charts. Then he proceeded to the next level.

"You three, are going to be tested by us. Once done, I will be announcing the results of which sin or troupe you guys belong to."

"Now?" Lunna asked

"Yes. Right at this exact moment."

Nine signaled his fellow generals to step forward and formed a circle to discuss the situation. He lowered his voice a bit and said, "all right. So I've read their bio, and I want Theron, Divya, and Naoki to test them."

"You sure about that?" Divya asked.

"Positive. But if they won't fit, then we test them again according to the next sin that they're compatible with."

Now, it was [Name]'s turn to ask. "Is that really necessary?"

"Of course it is, lazy ass."

"But~"

"Shut it, [Name]."

With that, the h/c haired girl pouted and didn't whine or comment about Nine's decision again. After relaying the last bit of information to the group, he then dismissed their discussion.

Nine coughed earning the attention of the three, he crossed his arms and spoke. "The test is not that difficult actually. You guys just have to be honest, that's all."

[Name] rolled her eyes when she heard the word 'difficult'. As Nine finished his little pep talk, the three testers lined up with the newbies horizontally.

"The three of you will be tested at the same time. Don't worry about the time limit, because we don't have any." Nine gave them a semi smile before counting off to three.

When the word 'start' left Nine's lips, [Name] smirked to herself knowingly that the interesting part was coming and whispered, "let the torturing games begin."
