Rainer woke up to the smell of bacon. He could hear strips of bacon frying on a pan, cooked in their own juices. The aroma wafted its way from the kitchen into his room. Almost immediately Rainer began to wake up, wondering about all the ways bacon could be incorporated in every meal.
He slowly pushed himself off the bed into an upright position as he gazed at his surroundings. No one was in the bed beside him, but he could hear voices coming from the kitchen and living room. Asmodea Nerissa spoke out loud, as if their argument from yesterday never existed. Another voice joined the conversation, and Rainer realized at once that it was Lauren.
"She's here already? Bloody hell..." Moaned Rainer, "I have no influence whatsoever with those women. At least they're making bacon... I can at least be happy with that." Noticing he was already dressed, Rainer made way for the bathroom.
He knocked before opening the door and entered in for his morning ritual. Rainer shaved off the scraggly hairs that covered his chin. He completely ignored his own reflection in the hand mirror on the bathroom counter. Checking his appearance in the full size mirror, Rainer was satisfied with himself. Before he left, Rainer did a double take on himself in the mirror.
What the heck is that? Rainer wondered as he rubbed his head. He noticed to horn like appendages sticking out from the top of his head, after finding them, Rainer noticed the other obvious new attachment. Two jet-black wings were closed up behind his back, as if hiding from his eyes. He reached behind his back, hoping it was an elaborate prank, but as he stretched in order to reach for his back, his wings unveiled, showing off his full splendor.
"What... The... FUCK?!" Yelled Rainer, "WHAT the FUCK is this?!" He knew it was only a matter of time before he would have these appendages. However, the sight of them fully connected to his body still freaked him out. Taking a more rational second look, Rainer saw that his skin was grey, his horns were jet black, his wings were black also, there was a black tail swishing around behind him as well, and lastly he saw that he had a forked tongue like Asmodea and Nerissa. Rainer noticed that his tail and wings were fitted through holes in his clothes, taking another second look... He's never even seen these clothes before.
Asmodea must've made them or got them somehow... Ok, you're calmed down, let's just get eat that delicious breakfast bacon and then go to school... Wait, how the fuck am I supposed to go to school like this? I should be able to retract them somehow, should probably ask Asmodea or Nerissa.
As Rainer pondered his predicament he slowly moved from the bathroom into the living room. Lauren was lying down on the couch watching the morning news while trimming her nails. Nerissa was apparently making breakfast, bacon and eggs, humming a weird tune while she cooked. Asmodea was staring straight at me from a chair next to the table.
"So, you have finally awakened to your true self now, my lord." Said Asmodea in her usual sultry manner, "The three of us could hear your initial shock. Well, you may think yourself revolting, but I feel even more attracted to you before. It is taking much of my willpower to not throw my clothes of now and force myself upon you."
Nerissa chimed in, "I agree, you're as handsome as I always thought my fiancée to be! You're are definitely not ugly love, you're more alluring than before."
"That's kinda of insulting my original self, really." Quipped Rainer.
Lauren then added herself to the conversation, "Well, they are demons, they are of course more used and attracted to people of their own kind... But I'm with them, you have a sort of dark allure."
"Right right, more importantly, how the heck do I go back to my original self?" Asked Rainer.
"Well, if you must interrupt our staring session at the most beautiful demon we've ever seen, then I will tell you. Several ways to do it, really." Asmodea began to explain, "The first, a demon could cast a sort of illusion spell to completely hide its appendages from the common or uncommon eye, this is the easiest way, but the appendages could still be touched, so it is not very convenient. The second way is to cast a spell to automatically force your appendages into your body, and since they are forced inside, they will burst out immediately the moment the demon loses itself in Sin. The third is the most convenient way, but the most time consuming to learn. You have to sort of 'suck' your appendages back into your body.
"Suck them back in? How the heck do I do that?"
"Well, starting with your tail... Start off by pushing the tail inwards with one of your hands, which will help while your trying to suck it in. Then like you are clenching your butt together, feel your tail and try to suck it in." Asmodea continued to teach Rainer how to push in his appendages, the horns proved to be the hardest, and you can't suck in your tongue, so the forked tongue stayed. It took the rest of time before school for Rainer to figure it out; thankfully he learned how to bring in his appendages quickly.
Rainer and Lauren finished their breakfast before heading to school together in the car. Asmodea and Nerissa had a conversation before Asmodea headed to school herself.
"Now that he is whole, we will have to bring him back to the Land of Lust. The angels won't look kindly to us staying longer than we should." Commented Asmodea.
"I'm surprised they aren't taking any action towards me, I mean, they should be watching Rainer, right? Wouldn't they notice me here too? Yet, they are silent." Said Nerissa, she felt uneasy, even though she had assured Rainer that the angels didn't know she was here, she knew that angels were not that ignorant.
"My lord did tell me of a suspicious girl, that she seemed and acted like an angel. While he was not certain, she apparently had a sort of angelic air around her." Explained Asmodea, "That girl may be our resident supervisor... Even so, they don't need to send someone to watch us. They could do that from up there if they really wanted to. I plan on not making us leave until we receive a message from the angels in any form telling us to vacate the Earth."
"Though what form this message will come in is the problem, right?"
"Yes... Just like us, angels are not the most trustworthy beings." Asmodea said coldly, "While they may just let us go as part of the agreement, I doubt some, if not many of the angels are too happy at letting a Ruler of Sin live."
Nerissa agreed, "Tactically, it would be smarter to have Rainer killed... Not that I would ever let that happen! Forcing a civil war in one of the Circles of Sin would deviate them from any attack plans on the angels or Earth. Sides would have to be drawn between any heirs that step up and the Rulers of Sin that side with them. Even the Shah of Sloth would be roused. Any vacant seats among the Rulers of Sin must be filled within two decades, or else the rest of the Rulers will have to intervene."
