"What do you mean by no devil?" "Have you seen that guy's face?"
"Maybe he is just stressed out?"
Tch, how long do you suppose I've been seeing those who are under the influence of the devil? I saw them every day, not just their looks; I could feel it. I know for sure that that guy is being influenced.
"Yuan look!"
Yuan turned to look at Levia, who was pointing outside, and spotted the person they were following standing on the edge of the school rooftop.
"U-ui, I think he is going to jump. Lets go!" Levia starts panicking.
Yuan turns around with an annoyed expression, saying, "Huh?! Why would I help that guy? You said he was not being followed by the devil, right? ""Let him be."
"w-hwa?!" Levia can't comprehend what she just heard as she looks at the holographic monitor once again in desperation.
"Ah! "There's a devil!"
Yuan halted as he looked at Levia.
"I'm sure the devil is after him, and he might be hiding somewhere."
They both approach the window once more, but when they look out, they only see a man standing on the rooftop's edge rather than the devil they were expecting.
"Are you blind?" We cant—"
"But you said you were sure that he was being influenced, right? Are you admitting that you're wrong and that you're just talking nonsense? "Do you want to let that devil do what he wants?"
Yuan's eyebrow twitched as he put his finger on his chin.
How long do you think we were together, Yuan? One month! Or so.. Nevertheless, I have a feeling that you despise us devils. Although I've been working to change that for a while, but for the time being, I'll take advantage of it. This time there are no other devils involved, so I won't be breaking the law if I help someone. Levia smile
"....."
It's true that I'm sure that that guy is being owned by the devil; is that devil really hiding? Why would a devil hide? ah!
Maybe that devil is...
"Let's go," Yuan said, making a gesture with his head.
Levia's face lit up as she gave a big smile.
Let's split up. You go below and search for the devil who is involved, and I'll go right to the rooftop.
Levia went "umh" as she jumped through the wall, and Yuan started running.

He came to Aaron at the edge of the school rooftop, standing by himself and wearing a lifeless expression.
Love this novel? Read it on Royal Road to ensure the author gets credit.
He approaches the man slowly. Aaron is simply standing straight with his back facing Yuan, as he didn't notice that he was there.
"Hey you," Yuan calls him, and the guy simply looks at him with annoyance written all over his face and asks, "What do you want?"
Yuan smiled as he raised his arm and gestured his finger in a circular shape, saying
"Do a back flip."
Yuan smirked as the guy said, "Huh?" getting confused, he suddenly looked down, as if there was something that snapped inside of him.
"eekk!"
The guy walked back a couple steps immediately, "wha wha haaa," as he started hyperventilating and ran away towards the stares.
Yuan smirked, but a sudden voice could be heard from behind.
"so. What are you going to do if that guy actually does a back flip and falls to his death?" Levia emerged from the floor with a disappointed look on her face.
"Then there will be no classes for today. It's a win-win."
Levia's eyes widen for a second as she goes, "Win, win, huh." then she giggles.
Yuan stared at her, feeling confused, as he said, "You look ugly when you laugh."
"beee!" She shuts her eyes and extends a tiny tongue like a young child engaged in a fight.
"Forget that, did you find the devil?"
Levia's face became serious once again as she opened her map, saying, "No, there's none. I keep on looking at the map as well, but there's nothing there."
"You're useless."
Levia went "guh," feeling his words go straight to her gut.
"well.. that was a waste of time., let's go home."

In the locker room, a student is catching his breath as he grabs his chest tightly.
"haah haaaah!" His breathing is ragged, and his heartbeat is erratic.
"W-what am I thinking about going to the rooftop and jumping?" "What's happening to me?"
A door next to his locker slowly opens, sounding like an old iron door being unlocked. The temperature in the basketball club locker room substantially dropped as Aaron slowly tilted his head towards the sound.
"Why didn't you jump?~"
A sudden voice whispered in his ear, cold sweat started flowing down all over his body, and the turned-off light started flickering slightly.
"Who is there?" Aaron didn't have the courage to turn his head around, he started shivering as the fear inside him grew exponentially.
"I told you to jump, right?~ So why didn't you?~" another whisper
"T-that's be-becausee-e," his teeth started shaking fast.
*bughss!*
Suddenly the door burst open, and a lot of male students wearing basketball uniforms walked through. They were talking to each other, and as they turned on the light, they saw Aaron lying on the ground with liquid on the floor flowing from him.

"So, Yuan, what are we doing here in the park?" You said that we were going home.
Levia looks around the park and sees the same old kids playing and adults taking a walk.
"I just want to check something, but maybe I'm thinking too much about it." "Let's go home."
Yuan is about to walk away until Levia stops him.
"Wait, wait," she points her finger at the single girl playing on the sand.
Levia: "Now that we are here! Let's do another prank. Your mom! Prank"
Yuan looked at her suspiciously, then ignored her as he turned back and started walking away.
"Then call me cute!" Yuan halted
"We have a deal, remember?" "If you don't do a prank, then call me cute!" She popped her cheeks as she made an angry expression at him.
Yuan sighed in defeat as she came over to Levia and stared directly into her eyes. Levia began blushing as a result of Yuan's action, but he continued to walk despite passing through Levia's body.
He stops in front of the kid that's playing on the sand while Levia on the back is shocked, her eyes are lifeless.
Why are we still here? just to suffer?
"Come, let's do this stupid prank."
After recovering from the shock, Levia started over.
"ahem! Tell her a your mom prank" she says, pointing a finger at the child. The child is now looking at Yuan with a puzzled look on her face.
He rubbed his temples on how low this devil girl can be. He then looked into the girl's eyes and said, "I hate 'your mom'," with a serious face. Yup, as expected, Yuan has no clue what this "your mom prank" is all about, or is it even a thing?
Levia went "eh" as the little girl flinched and a tear started showing in her eyes.
Levia tries to calm her down, but since the little girl can't see her, nothing happens.
Sniff "UWAAAA!" the little girl cries and runs away from them.
Yuan looks at Levia with a conflicted expression and says, "See what you made me do?"
Levia went "wha?!" as she made an angry face.
"I didn't tell you to make her cry!"
"You told me to do a mom prank."
"that's.."
"Come on, let's go home already."
Eh? There's no hint of guilt on this guy's face. Uhg, he is like a devil incarnate, but wait, why do I feel so bad making a little girl cry when I'm a devil? Eh? Does that mean he is more devilish than me? If so, then what am I?
Levia grabs her hair as she starts having an identity crisis.
"We are done now, right?" Before leaving, Yuan looked at a group of kids from a distance. These kids are the ones that he talked to last time they were in here.
His eyes narrowed as he turned around and started walking away from the park without waiting for Levias' answer.
