At first, all Gundham noticed was the sight of a cat that got him to move through to get to it, and while he was glad that someone had reached out to grab the poor thing before something terrible could happen, he cursed under his breath as he pulled the man out of the road and back onto the sidewalk.

"Foolish mortal! Did you not heed the peril of the situation you were in! Not only did you risk one of the lives of a young hellbeast, but you forced the Overlord of Ice to protect a mere mortal!"

Even if the events of the past had not come to pass, it was common to find him spending time at animal shelters to help out from time to time. It was something of a past time for him, and it helped take his mind off of... everything he had lost in his own despairing delusions. He does smirk when he sees Hajime, though.

"Ah, the singularity approaches. Were you also going to pay homage to the den of lost hellbeasts?"

There were only a few things that could ever make the Overlord of Ice ever go into a state of panic, but right now, he was experiencing one of the worst that could ever happen, an event that would shake the heavens, the seven hells, and the earth itself and bring ruin to the very fabric of the universe...one of his hamsters had gone missing. This wasn't something that happened often, but it also wasn't often that Maga-Z and Jum-P competed for territory like they did earlier today, either, and even after sacrificing his arm for them, the normally lethargic hamster had been upset enough to run off causing the ultimate breeder to go from the overlord of ice to an extremely concerned pet owner.

As he rushed through the school keeping a careful eye on the ground for the hamster, he didn't see anyone in front of him or even register he did until he realized he was on the ground for a good second. He blinks a few times before getting up with a scowl.

"Tch...I apologize for that, mortal, but excuse me, I am on a quest to find Mirage Golden Hawk Jum-P and cannot be distracted."

For him to talk in a way that is almost completely understandable to anyone around him just shows how concerned he was for the little guy as he keeps looking.

"Apologies, but could I request a moment of your time for your aid?"

Normally, she would hesitate more before asking someone for help. People didn't tend to give her the time, but Gundham and her were friend... right? She could trust him with this.

"Come, it... it will be easier to show you rather than describe the travesty that occurred."

[despairs-memorial]

He nods in understanding. There were a few places like that back home that he had visited in the past, though admittedly, he didn't have as strong of a connection them as Sonia did to this room.

"Tis a heavy burden to bear for any with the legacy that you carry. However, I have faith that you will be able to carry it well, and should you wish for it, I will aid you in whatever way I can."

Its a powerful place, there are stories in the very wood that makes up the floorboards. We are a place of constant change yet this room always remains the same. I will admit it makes the idea of leadership weigh heavy on me with all the storied legacy in the very seat i occupy.

Unsurprisingly for someone who named his favored pets after shonen magazines, Gundham was quite the fan of some anime, manga, and light novels, even. While he ignored novels in general, he found this medium to be interesting at times, and this was one of the rare times that he found himself looking through some in a shop. Though as he reached for one of the last copies of My Roomate is a Cat, something he would deny even liking nevermind buying, someone else reached for it as well.

"Stay your hand! I am the one who laid on that particular piece first, therefore I am the one that shall own it."

It would be annoying to fight for it, so he was fine with just trying to intimidate the person that wanted to get it. It wasn't like this manga wasn't popular enough to not get restocked, but he wouldn't have time later and wanted to get it while he could.

While they didn't talk about it a lot, they had been looking up more things to give to the devas for quite a while. The treats part was easy for them, but it was the knitting that was turning out to be quite a hindrance to them, though they were starting to get it, and starting off small seemed to be the best way for them to do it.

As they finish up with the project, they beam as they go over to Gundham, carrying the items that they had made. "Gacchan, Gacchan! Amai has some cute things for the devas, do you want to see? Do you, do you?" They were too excited to even think about holding back, practically bouncing as they were waiting to present the items to him.

"Tch... I am afraid that your communion with the hellish nekomata will have to be postponed, Singularity. Fortune has decided to turn against me, and I must journey to the very edges of this reality. Heaven's gates have opened, and the angels have demanded my unholy presence."

While he had invited Hajime there to spend time with the kitten that the Singularity would be adopting once it came of age, something had come up at the last minute, making him curse both the situation and the fact that this had to interrupt his time with his crush soul's companion. Though, he was even more annoyed that he didn't even have time to contact Hajime when he got the news.

He would certainly be rather happy to spend time with not one but two people who could understand him and his interests. Besides, he was sure that the princess would be rather interested in the occultist. "Very well! It shall be done!" He says before starting to help her as she prepared for the ritual.

She is pretty happy to see someone look forward to a ritual rather than be shaking and afraid like some people she knew..Well if the other ever wished to bring Sonia to her, she would be pleased to do one with her as well. “Very well. Than please assist me with getting everything ready.”

Parent observation day wasn't something Amai thought they would have to do at Hope’s Peak, but of course, Yuuya was too busy to do it, and the school, thoughtful as they were had to call her. Yumemi Himeji was far from the worst parent that was there, many of his classmates not even having someone there, but they couldn't help but feel the weight of her gaze on their back.

As they leave for lunch, knowing that she wouldn't let them get anything, they can't help but perk up the moment that they see Gundham, just barely keeping themself from flinching when they feel her warm hand on their shoulder as they greet him. "Gacchan! H-" They pause a bit as their tone goes from the cheerful greeting to one more calm, like they were greeting an acquaintance rather than... well, someone very special to them. "...h-how was parent observation day for you? It's uh... it's been great for Amai so far!"

They force a bright smile as their mother smiles a bit, her pink eyes glancing over at the breeder and examining him carefully before smiling at him. Similar as it looked to Amai's, it lacked... a certain something that made it almost unsettling somehow.

"'Gacchan,' is it? Hehe, you must be quite familiar with my child if they have a nickname that cute for you. Though, I never heard them say a word about you at all, how funny..."

If they had, she would have thrown a fit over it and tried to get them to leave him or whatever it would be to cut contact with him. They both knew that's exactly how she would act. Despite everything, she hadn't changed at all, not that Amai expected her to.

Of course, when Raijin adopted Valkyrie, the rest of the litter were beside them self, missing their sister, and Gundham, the softie that the self proclaimed overlord was, couldn't just let them miss their sister, so he did the most logical thing that he could think of: a playdate between the puppies! It was going to be cute, who could possible pass it up?

He didn't think Raijin could, which was why he was confident about calling the hero to come over. "Greetings once more, mortal. I am seeking you out to summon you back to my lair! The hell hounds cry out for their kin, and as she is your familiar, you must accompany her back to the depths of hell in order for them to commune together once more!"

They're huffing a bit as they hug their partner from behind, sighing in slight annoyance as the two of them watch as his animals attack the innocent people below.

"Gacchan... pay attention to me, please? They're not going to stop dying anytime soon... please? Amai wants to see your eyes again..."

They're pouty and whiney as they keep nuzzling his back, just wanting their lover to pay attention to them no matter what.

[despairs-memorial]

He smiles a little and gives the cat a pet. "Then for now, I shall take my leave. Until we meet again, cleric." He says and with a slightly dramatic adjustment of his scarf, he heads out...probably to just take care of his animals.

She smiles a little. She was still a bit nervous about all of this..but she was still excited and thankful for the other being patient with her. She lets the cat with a hum. “W-well thank you for all the help..”

She blinks a little..but figures this is just the other being dramatic again. “O-okay I will!”

[despairs-memorial]

How many people are simping over you?

"You know what, fuck you. I ain't gotta take this shit."

"3?! I-I mean, hmph, s-such fools to desire one as wretched as I. Do they not fear for their very souls? Perhaps when I come to power and take over this accursed world they shall be spared from such destruction..."

"Hehe, being a magnet for this sort of behavior is expected, though I'm happy to get a confirmation that I'm doing my job as an idol right."

"Honestly, 0 is fine with me. Sounds a lot easier to deal with than 1 or even more than that."

Mortals were foolish. That was a fact that every demon, no matter what kind, knew to be the one of the few truths that was consistently proven in their endless existence, and this one was no different. Getting summoned was rare for them with them primarily living on Earth rather residing fully in hell, but for once, they were.

Amai's mismatched eyes scan the mortal in front of them. Tall, dark, and holding a book of spells. Was he trying to bind them? Or was he aiming for something entirely new.

"Interesting, I wouldn't think you would have trouble attracting a mate to sate your lusts... tell me, handsome, what use do you have of my kind? Did you wish for a taste of the forbidden... or do you seek something else?"

While they were sure that they were summoned for one particular reason, they couldn't be too sure. All demons, regardless of what ring or type they were, were leagues ahead of any other human aside from the most talented of mages, and if this guy just wanted power, then it was fine, but they would be annoyed to miss a meal as handsome as him.
