Iruma was startled, wondering if he was about to be scolded.
Sullivan immediately picked up Iruma and looked towards the door.
"Shesi, you come too, right?"
"Huh? Is big brother here too?"
Shesi entered from outside the door.
"I'm ruining the atmosphere, Grandpa," Shesi said.
"A family together also makes a good atmosphere," Sullivan said, taking Shesi's hand and walking towards the window. As soon as they reached the window, Shesi and Iruma heard a huge cheer.
"Please look, the most spectacular scene of this surprise event was arranged by the special students Iruma-kun and Shesi, who created that flower of light!"
Shesi couldn't help but blush at the words. If he had to say what contribution he made to the creation of the flower of light... no, the Fireworks, it was just borrowing a book. He didn't participate in anything else. Now, having his name added as a creator made even Shesi's old face flush.
"Hehe, wave. Everyone is very excited. They all say they were moved by your Fireworks," Sullivan gestured for the two to wave.
"Huh? Fireworks?" Iruma hadn't yet fully processed the fact that the Fireworks he threw had been successfully performed.
Then the three of them flew down together, and as soon as they landed, they were met with cheers from all the demons.
"The Fireworks are so beautiful!"
"How did you make that?"
"That's amazing!"
"Which Division are you from?"
Sullivan conjured a megaphone from somewhere and handed it to Iruma. He was about to pull out another one for Shesi, but Shesi quickly stopped him.
"Shall we respond to them?" Sullivan looked at Iruma.
Iruma took the megaphone and replied,
"We... we are the Magic Tool Research Division... the first-year students Asmodeus, Clara, me, and my big brother Shesi, along with the third-year senior Ami Kirio—five students—who made the Fireworks."
Eiko, who was nearby, tried to squeeze in to thank Iruma but found she couldn't get through.
"Iruma-kun!" (She was pushed out by the crowd.)
The Eve Festival ended.
The Main Festival began!
Based on the displays at the Eve Festival, Teachers and students would evaluate the Division displays for the Main Festival. Students would vote for their favorite Divisions, excluding their own. And importantly, family members of students would come to visit during the Main Festival.
"Then, for these Fireworks, we just need to launch them on schedule," Iruma and Asmodeus prepared a bit and then said. Although the senior was taken away, the records were left behind, so knowing the formula was simple. The group decided to launch two rounds of Fireworks tonight and tomorrow night.
"Before that, let's go visit the Divisions," Asmodeus also said.
"Hmm, wearing the clothes Clara made, we should promote them."
"I don't think promotion is necessary, since the Fireworks were so big, all the demons in the school must have seen them," Shesi said, walking over wearing the clothes Clara made, eating a chocolate banana.
"Haha, true, but after all, the clothes Clara made are also quite nice, aren't they, Clara? Eh? Clara?" Iruma said with a smile, then asked Clara, but when he turned around, he saw that Clara seemed to have multiplied?
Seeing Iruma's reaction, Shesi was also puzzled, so he stepped back a little and looked behind Iruma.
"Eh?"
"The Valac family's opening! Eldest daughter Clara!"
"Second son Guang Zi!"
"Third son Qi Bao!"
Qi Bao even pulled out a slippery hand-held device, pointing at the person inside and saying,
"Eldest son Valac!"
"Little ones!"
"Everyone's Mommy!"
"Full of harmony, the Valac family! Here we are!"
"Uh... they... really... look alike," Shesi honestly didn't know what to say, he could only comment on how similar they looked.
Claras Mother was also very enthusiastic, running directly in front of the three and starting to talk to herself.
"Clara has been in your care. I'm her Mommy."
"Indeed, she's been well cared for..." Asmodeus said without hesitation.
"Thank you for being friends with Clara. Are you hungry? I put candy in your pockets, and toys too. You can only have one each, no fighting, okay? When Clara was little, every time she sneezed, candy would pop out of her pockets. Everyone almost drowned in a sea of candy!" Clara's Mommy kept talking. Shesi had already started to lean to the side, wanting to escape the whirlpool named the Valac family. But then, the group somehow changed clothes and started singing a newly composed song unique to the Valac family, then rushed towards the festival to start playing.
"Uh... if it were someone else's family, I'd feel it was a bit too enthusiastic. If it's Clara's family, I think it's just right," Shesi said, walking over.
"I strongly agree," Asmodeus said, nodding.
Suddenly, a voice came from behind, and Asmodeus's body stiffened.
"Found you!"
Suddenly, a female demon with similar pink hair and wearing very alluring clothes ran over. Her appearance instantly attracted many people's attention. When Shesi saw this woman, his heart couldn't help but beat faster twice.
"Eris!"
"Eris?" Iruma was stunned for a moment before remembering that was Asmodeus's name. He'd been calling him Asmodeus so often he almost forgot.
Iruma turned around and realized Asmodeus was already starting to break out in a cold sweat. Asmodeus's Mother directly pounced on Asmodeus.
"Eris, you abandoned Eimu! That's too much! Luckily, I quickly dropped my work to see you!"
"Mother, why are you here? Weren't you being watched by David?"
"He was conquered by my charming lap pillow and ear-cleaning!" (Can I apply for that job?)
"David?!" Then she looked at Iruma and She Si.
"You must be Iruma-kun and She Si, right? I'm Eris's Mother, the Thirteenth Crown, Head of Color, Asmodeus Amaryllis. Eris always talks about you. I heard you made Fireworks, right? So, what kind of alluring magic is that?" Amaryllis touched Shesi's head with one hand and Iruma's head with the other.
Shesi:...Hmm... I think I'm being petted? Battle again!
"Don't do that!" Asmodeus quickly stopped his Mother, then pushed Amaryllis away.
"Teacher Reim (Charm Class Teacher [Female Demon Special]) isn't she your student? Let's go see her quickly! I'm leaving, Lord Iruma, Lord Shesi, goodbye!" With that, Asmodeus pushed Amaryllis away.
"Goodbye~ She Si-chin, Iruma-chin~" Amaryllis blew them a kiss as she left.
"Mother! Why are you blowing flying kisses at the two Lords?!"
Seeing this, Iruma and Shesi exchanged glances, then smiled helplessly.
"Every family has its own difficulties."
"Indeed."
Suddenly, both fell silent, looking at this harmonious family scene... Both felt a strange sense of loneliness.
Suddenly, two hands rested on their shoulders.
"Is there anything you like?"
Sullivan and Opera appeared behind them.
"Grandpa?" x 2
"Isn't your work important?" Shesi asked Sullivan.
