Chapter 5: Awakening

Someone screamed at the doorway. It was loud enough to hear it from the kitchen. Both the twins and the boy could hear it.

...

Ivy's intricate facial expressions caused the boy and Yuki confusion.

The boy asked, "What is it?"

Yuki also got near Ivy to hear her.

Ivy gasped, "It's mom. She told me and Yuki not to walk with those dirty boots--"

Yuki seems to be sweating as she grabs the end of the raincoat, Ivy is wearing.

She is scrunching her doll in her hand.

Ivy seems to be baffled. She looks at her sister and tries to act strong in front of Yuki to calm her down.

The boy, the actual bel is observing his sister vividly and with a kind of cheerful face. The wall has turned orange, the sun has peeked its way through the curtains, and the rain has stopped a few moments after they returned.

The cat food spilled a little bit. Our bel is on the floor sleeping down with his belly wide open, which is kind of careless for a demonic prince.

The table beside the two sisters and one brother, a glass of juice, a bit lower from the top. And a fire stove extinguished. The fruity smell of the juice, the dusty smell of the hard bread.

The birds are chirping like the mother of this brother and sisters. She is not chirping but as she slowly approaches the kitchen by complaining, it almost sounds like chirping.

Mother arrives.

She seems angry but as soon as she sees the boy, she softens and smiles and widens her arms.

"Ohh~ bel, come here."

The boy slowly stands up and pushes his hands down on his knees, weak but full of enthusiasm and energy. He leans in for a hug and after a warmful reunion.

He closed his eyes.

The mother whispers, "I'm sorry for leaving you for a whole week. I couldn't take you. You would be more sick!" as her eyes seem to tear up.

"It's okay, mom." The boy replies.

They seem to be having a conversation.

The mom then opened her eyes and saw the girls trying to flee the crime scene. The twin saw her eyes glow red, with terrified expressions, and the twin sat down in an instant.

Yuki points to the boy.

Ivy nods and whispers, "Yes! Bel Brother will save us, don't worry!"

Yuki tilts her head in disagreement.

Ivy whispers again but a bit louder, "He used to save us all the time, didn't he? The time we broke the vase--

Yuki glares at Ivy.

Ivy stutters, "A-alright, When I broke the vase, He took the blame. He would always share his half-donut with us.

He's going to make an excuse and take the blame for us. He's a kind-hearted person--

Before Ivy finishes her sentence.

The twin heard the boy speak, "Oh, these two jumped right in the house without a thought to remove their rain boots."

Both of them have their jaws wide open.

Ivy and Yuki suddenly look at their brother's face. He is smirking.

...

He is smirking!

...

"He had betrayed us," Ivy speaks in utter shock.

Yuki nods as her body stiffens. The boy laughs a little bit as he covers his mouth, his shoulders are moving.

It's very annoying to see that but the twins calm themselves down to prepare for a storm that is rising towards them!

The narrative has been taken without permission. Report any sightings.

The mother makes them sit down.

Then she goes on about bacteria and stuff, Ivy peeks over to the door entrance.

The boy is laughing with a juice drink in his hands. Ivy clenches her fist and smiles at her mother. Yuki seems disappointed but with her attention span of a squirrel, she is just gazing at the orange parallel lines from the curtain shining over the mother's greyish-silver hair.

Bel, the cat, now wakes up from the noise and finds the boy's mom staring at him.

The mother found out now, after over a half hour. She glares at Bel.

"What? Why is such a strong person in this place?

Did the boy set me up?"

Bel tries to comprehend the situation but his tiny brain cannot, so he just sits there frozen in fear.

The mother glared at those twins and asked in a rather aggressive tone, "Did you two pick up the cat?"

Ivy shrugs while Yuki shakes her head.

...

Mother asked again, "Then, Who? Did.It?"

...

There is no answer from the twins.

Ivy while fiddling with her hair, glanced at her brother's face. Yuki is still in her world.

....

Ivy saw her brother become a little bit sweaty during the cat questions. She giggled.

"Mother, I think I know who brought the cat!" Ivy points out her hands behind her immediately. She looked back and saw her son in the doorway trying to get away after the accusations.

"uh, I think I left my wallet over on the couch. I will go there--" Before the boy could finish his statement, his mother appeared before him.

"Alright, bel, won't you come and talk with me about this again?"

Mother took him to the spot where the two twins were kneeling. The boy silently follows his mother.

He sat down and spoke in a cheerful voice, " But this fat cute one is important to me, Mom."

The mother sighs and allows him after a brief speech to not pick strays.

The twins are quite jealous after the nice treatment of her brother.

Mom puts her finger up,

"Diseases can be spread so, better take him to the vet."

The boy's smile widened and he hurriedly hugged his mother with joy.

After she looked at the muddy state of those two and dropped serious words in front of the kids.

...

Ivy gritted her teeth, "Can't I just wash my face?"

Yuki nods in agreement. Yuki seems to be grabbing the doll in her hand pretty hard.

The mother replied, "No, You two need to take a shower."

The twins were grumbling uselessly. No matter how they complained, they needed to shower.

They cannot escape from there.

They had given up but,

But someone arrived at the doorstep.

A husky voice, a well-toned body shifts his body to lean against the doorframe.

A grey T-shirt with a knotted string on the neck and grey pants with boots on with wet mud all over it. The man with a buzz cut, black hair, and red eyes.

He spoke, "Sei, bullying the kids again?"

The mother looked at the grown man with a furious jump.

'A grown-ass man with dirty boots inside my house---

She jumped at the man suddenly.

"It's your fault, Zeltian that the kids are like this."

SWOOSH!

And a strong uppercut to his face but he blocks it quite easily.

"Oh no! You don't. Kids escape while I keep the monster off."

Zel laughed at them.

The twins escaped from the room running straight outside to the green grass-filled ground, not well-trimmed.

The twins escaped while laughing. The boy also follows them with his hands picking the fat cat up.

The cat seems unmotivated as always.

The father escaped as well giggling while the mother followed him, bad-mouthing the father.

As the cat, Belphegor, looked, up and saw the boy laughing with his whole heart out. He sighed.

"I need to let this boy live his life. Guess I will look for another body.

But finding a body that can handle the weight of my soul is hard, unlike the boy's perfect soul chamber."

Belphegor, the cat, scratches his face with his paws.

The cat gets away to the side as the mother has a big water hose on her hands.

"You don't need to do this!" The four screamed looking at the mother.

"Well, I can!" The mother turns up the water volume, completely demolishing them with water.

The atmosphere is perfect, the rain has cleared up after days, and the orange field and orange lighting from the settling sun.

The humidity is perfect for a pretty rainbow around the corners of the mountain.

The crows and other birds have migrated to their home.

Magic beasts crying loudly like a clap of thunder across the sky.

People cheering can be heard from across the town.

The family is having fun but when the boy looks around. The cat is gone.

...

"Mom, Ellie seems to be gone somewhere. I will find her." The boy shouts.

"Alright, be back by dark. In the meantime, I will punish your beat some sense in your father and your sisters."

She shouted while aiming at them.

Beyond the trees and fallen leaves, and after a bit of hiking, the boy appears on the mount, where the town can be seen. The lighting, the stars in the sky, and small people walking around like bundles of ants.

The fat cat is beside a big tree and a graveyard right under it.

"I knew you would be here, with your friend."

The boy spoke in a mature feminine voice but the cat remained silent.

"I know you can speak as well." the boy added.

The cat spoke for the first time, "Is it so? Then leave, child. I have nothing to do with you."

The boy puts his hands on his chin.

"It seems like you haven't changed. It's been centuries, that must be why you forgot my voice."

The cat remained silent for a minute and suddenly looked back.

His tail started to wag, his heart was saying something to him, and he could recognize the voice vividly but he could not remember who it was.

He jumped from the spot.

"Who are you?"

The boy replied, "Hmm, can't believe you forgot about me, #####?"

The cat sat down in utter surprise, his mouth couldn't even use amplified mana to access his human speaking.

"Diana?" The cat spoke finally, his eyes tearing up.

The boy's body lay unconscious on the floor at the moment. From the body came a white hologram-like person, a female with a big scar on her face, a slim body, and blonde hair.

"I-It is you, D-Diana." The cat, bephégor spoke.

The woman with almost a pretty face, if not for a big scar that ran across her face spoke, "You must have a lot of questions but I cannot answer, honey. These shackles forbid me."

The cat tried to speak but the hologram started to glitch.

"This world is unnatural since this is the only world you survive in for you will also be greeted by your final death in this world. So survive, honey."

The hologram is disappearing, so she speaks again, "Honey, please find me."

"W-What?" the cat spoke but a light shone between the bodies.

The grasses swift slowly on the field like on the top of the mountain, and the stars shone on them. The holographic is gone. The cat lays there unconscious but the boy wakes up.
