Chapter Text
Right now, Iruma was very confused, because ‘what implies being rank 5.5? Is something going to happen to Ali? If so, what?’ and other worries about the scala, but right now there was also another more dominating thought, and that was…
‘…WHAT THE HELL IS HAPPENING RIGHT NOW?’, that single thought was going through the blue haired human, because two seconds ago, he was in his room, and now he was in some kind of theater room where more people seemed to be appearing out of thin air.
“Iruma-sama!!” was the first thing he heard as soon as Azz appeared which was followed by “How glad I am to see you here” while crying of emotion. They would’ve talked more about the situation but suddenly they were both knocked over by something they immediately recognized as Clara.
“Yaaay, I found Iruma-chi and Azz-Azz, I win. What do we play now? Do you think we can play with that big screen?” Said the girl once she got a strike on her friends.
“As fun as that sounds Clarin, I think you have to calm down for now” said a new voice in the zone, which upon turning around they could see it was Lied who was reunited with the rest of the misfit class and teachers Robin, Shiida, and Balam who were trying and failing to calm down the confused and scared students, and Kalego, who was attempting to silence the turbulent students.
“Guys! You’re here too! What a relief…” Exclaimed Iruma to which Jazz intruded to say “well… I wouldn’t call it a relief, we still don’t know where we are or how to go back home”. “A-and somehow more people k-keep a-ap-appearing, suddenl-” Said Kerori who was interrupted by a sudden light as if to prove the point.
“E-eh?” spoke a female voice with a silhouette of long red hair and ear-like horns.
The student council president, Ameri Azazel, was completely clueless as to what was happening, but instead of trying to figure things out herself, the moment she saw that figure, with blue in eyes and hair and that rebel hair, Ameri blurted out immediately.
“Iruma!? How are you here!? Where are we!?” “Huh? Well, uhh…” needless to say Iruma had no Idea at all of how to answer to any of those questions, not like it seemed necessary anyway because other figure who was with Ameri spoke “of course you’d be involved in this stupid student of mine.” Bachiko Barbatos, the master of Iruma, said with a tone that felt like a mix of disappointment and anger “What kind of mess did you get yourself into this time, huh?” continued the member of the 13 crowns.
“Now, now, there’s no need to get mad like that” spoke a voice that wasn’t here just a moment before.
“The chairman is right, there are more important matters at hand” Spoke a cat looking demon with a not very expressive face.
“Yes, like the two beautiful ladies that have joined us!” said a bird demon who had nothing to do with the previous two.
“I don’t think that’s the point Opera-san is trying to make……WAIT! OPERA!? GRAMPA!?” said Iruma as if dumbfounded by the fact that he hadn’t noticed them there because unlike the others he didn’t seem to appear, from one moment to other they were just… there.
“Well, looks like everyone is here” suddenly said a voice no one could place or recognize “The exhibition will start soon” it declared.
“Exhibition? What exhibition? And who may you be?” asked Goemon more in curiosity than actual worry, because who knows? Maybe this weird entity was friendly.
“Hey, don’t be so careless!” reprimanded Kalego after seeing the lackadaisical attitude of his student, but instead of the monotone tone that they were expecting, the voice spoke with an almost abnormal friendliness with a fully playful demeanor. “Oh, yeah, those details, well it doesn’t really matter since I’m not gonna speak to any of you after starting so you don’t need to call me anything”
“So can I just sleep through this?” asked Agares who was starting to get tired of this nonsense and just wanted to sleep, besides, it was clear that whatever that was had no actual interest in them.
“Oh, c’mon don’t be like that~ besides I just want to show you things that happened since the day before last year classes started”
“Hm, why such a specific time huh?” inquired a rather curious Sabro, because there must be a reason for such a creature to want something of that exact time, but what?
Meanwhile Iruma was starting to get pretty nervous. (He knew what had happened that day)
“Well, I just know some of your secrets I decided to show you as it were a TV show, thoughts included, oh but we’ll skip the intro and ending songs, but in exchange a little extra called “sukima””
‘Why?!’ Thought Iruma already knowing that his secret was absolutely going to be revealed, but being more nervous than scared.
“Y-you m-m-must know that is an invasion of privacy, we have no reason to comply!” said Ameri, who could barely refrain from blushing thinking about if her crush on Iruma would be revealed to him (sheisnotreadysheisnotreadysheis-) “Is that right chair-demon?”
“I’m afraid we have no better option” declared Sullivan but internally he was just glad for any excuse too see again the coolest moments of his grandson, besides he knew his grandchild’s friends, they wouldn’t try to do anything to him (and if someone tried, he could do some “things” to deal with it)
“Really!? Well, no problem for me, I missed the first days so I would love to see what happened!” proclaimed an overly excited Robin to which the only response he got was kalego frying his face to what no one batted an eye.
Shiida was panicking. It was safe to say that she was nervous the last time she was suspected for an attack against the students, but she had managed to clear her suspicions, but if this “exposition” thing revealed that she was a member of the six fingers, she and the plan would be done for, but it seemed that there was no way of escaping that room.
“One cannot collect too much knowledge, I say we start an get this over with no judgements for what those “secrets” may be” suggested Allocer trying to get to an optimal solution.
Balam didn’t like this, neither did Bachiko, if it was revealed that Iruma was human, who knows what the other demons would do?
Still, as Iruma’s master Bachiko would fight anyone who actually tried to eat her one and only student if they dared.
Balam couldn’t do the same, but as a teacher he had to try to protect Iruma (but how was he supposed to?)
Seeing as Sullivan wasn’t going to do anything to avoid it, Opera decided to take at least some measurement. “I suggest an agreement to not hold or use the secrets revealed against anyone with repercussions on anyone who tries to use them” Opera insisted as to make at least some resistance to impulsive actions.
“Tsk, you’re the one who would usually use them, so if you’re serious, then fine” said an already tired Kalego, how long was this going to be again?
Azz and Clara were very uncomfortable with the situation, they had talked with Iruma about each having their secrets and they knew Iruma wouldn’t change a thing of their relationship at all, after all, they’re Iruma’s soulmates, and they wouldn’t treat Iruma any different either. (Doesn’t change the fact that they were very uncomfortable with something so personal being shown like that to everyone)
“W-well, i-if th-th-there’s no way around then I guess…” said a rather stuttering kerori who was absolutely convinced this was going to show her as kuromu, at the very least she could feel satisfied by the fact that probably Irumi, Alice and Clarin were also gonna be exposed.
“Well, if there aren’t any objections, then…” said Lied as he embraced himself to be shown crossdressing those two times with Iruma.
“Then roll it!” finished Jazz, knowing very well that he was going to be teasing everyone for their secrets, but nothing more. He wasn’t an insensitive jerk like his brother.
“Ah, wait!” tried to interrupt Shiida, but it didn’t matter
“Great! Then, here we go!”
And so, the exhibition begins…
