Harveston Sledathon 01:

Epel’s Team Gathering

“So, that’s final! It’s me, Yuki, Sebek and Jade-senpai for the sledathon and Grim for the main supporter! Great! I have 10 minutes to eat my lunch! Awesome!” Epel began happily, taking a spoonful of his food in his mouth as the group gathered at one of the cafeteria tables.

“Are you sure you’d want to compete in the race, Yuki?” Jade asked, looking at the prefect with a calm expression. “It’s great for you to join us but knowing the likely consequence of you using magic is quite worrisome.”

“Yes. Knowing that you’re prone to overblot is very concerning.” Sebek added and crossed his arms. “I can’t have Malleus-sama be upset because of your recklessness.”

Yuki smiled nervously, letting a small chuckle out from her lips. She shook her head. “Thank you for the concern but I practiced really hard  to control it for months now plus I really wanted to join and be pulled by plushies.”

Yes, The magic-less prefect is now made of magic. She has been what she has always been, A mage.  Her magic finally came back ever since last Christmas. It took her a few months of practice and secretly suffering from headaches and stomachaches just to conjure one simple spell. No more puking and no more dizzy spells for most parts.

“Plus, I got my ring.”  Yuki added fidgeting the ring of light on her left middle finger. 

The boys stared blankly, not convinced at all. 

“You mean, the same ring  that prevents you from being possessed by a certain ghost bride but it failed miserably that you have to be a bridal ghost doll?” Jade chuckled with his amused expression.

Yuki turned pale and got anxious for a second. “Um..yes!” she said unsurely. “It limits my magic so I won’t puke…black ink often.”

There was still silence from the boys.

“Hey Epel, how about you look for someone else to replace my human?” Grim began.

Maybe you’re right…but who?” Epel looked around but Yuki immediately slammed her open hands on the table. 

“But I really wanted to!” Yuki begged and at the same, Idia stood behind her and Epel.

Harveston Sledathon 02:

Two Otakus

“Umm…Hey…” Idia began muttering as he shyly stood there with Levi, the blue scaled snake wrapped around his arm.

The five students quickly had their gaze on their upperclassmen, looking pale as ever. 

“Um..so..um..uhh…you’re like…” Idia stuttered, fidgeting his fingers, looking at Epel.

“Yes?” Epel asked with his brows raised.

“Ugh…I can’t deal with this normie conversation!” Idia groaned and crouched down clinging to Yuki’s arm. His hand on her shoulder forced her to lend an ear. “Yuki-shi, can you ask Epel if you guys are talking about a sled race? When will you plan to go? Is it tomorrow? And ask if we can also come along? In Harveston? Tomorrow?”

“We can hear you, you know!” Grim added since Idia is loudly muttering under his breath.

“We?” Yuki raised her brows, her eyes met Idia’s who frowned, glaring.

“Levi-chan and me, duh!” He scolded. “Sled Over Heels takes place in Harveston, right?!”

“Sled over heels?” She, Sebek and Jade asked in unison.

“SLED OVER HEELS YUKI! SLED OVER HEELS:  TEARING UP THE SNOW! THE SHOUJO ANIME I RECOMMEND YOU TO WATCH LAST MONTH!” Levi shouted and Yuki blinked, not getting it. She’s been too busy digging Crowley’s things to notice. “The one with Plushie sledding!!”

Yuki tried to remember and then it hits her. The one with the cute girls and plushies. She watched one episode of it secretly with Levi but she barely recalls it now. Even if she did try and watch the remaining ones, she wouldn’t watch it since she was given the amazing videogames. “I haven’t finished it..yet actually.”

Idia and Levi gasped in unison and Yuki began to feel inferior.

“It’s not my fault you gifted me a gaming console.”  Yuki defended looking at Idia. 

“Oh! I remember that! I watched that cartoon on TV as a kid back then but I vaguely remember!” Epel chimed in.

Levi gasped together once more. “A cartoon?” he repeated but Idia smiled gently, shielding his snake friend’s eyes away from Epel.

“That’s okay, this is expected of normies. We must be strong, Levi-chan!” Idia said and continued his  long discussion about the anime with him and Levi taking turns explaining. Sebek was in shock, eyes widened while listening, Epel and Grim are both confused and Jade and Yuki remained calm as if they understand--Yuki understands since she played the game version of it but what of Jade?

“So all of this is because you want to visit the place from a child’s show? I don’t see that as a valid reason to go.” Sebek said. “It is all but fiction.”

“As I understand, it’s not unusual for fans to visit locations from their favorite shows.” Jade said. “As a fan of mountains, I also know the happy feeling of  actually going to a scenic landscape  I can only see on the internet.”

Idia frowned at these two then sighed heavily, still clinging on the prefect’s arm.

“Idia…I guess they don’t need a 6th or a 7th member in their party…” Levi continued, looking away. “Given that they’re already a full team plus the main animal companion for moral support, what’s the point?”

“Totally…Especially the rumor of Yuki-shi backing out is clearly a lie since she basically had an all time boost level up promotion. Basic nobody level 0 promotes to a student mage class level 100…Sighh…it’s not like they invited us.” 

“Are you both implying…you want to join us for the sledathon, Idia-senpai? Levi?” Epel began awkwardly.

“Whaaat? No…I didn’t say that.”  Idia said sarcastically with a sussy grin. “But I wouldn’t say no to a full time real life anime experience..”

“I’m not giving my spot.”  Yuki still defended pouting at Epel.

“Actually…why don’t we have two teams?” Epel suddenly suggested. “I’m sure Meemaw doesn’t mind if extra people visit to enter the sled race!”

“Idia-senpai and Levi just need to find people to join the race, I’m sure Ortho can join.” Epel continued, grinning. “Also since you’re gonna help looking, can you look a back up player for me in case Yuki can’t make it? Please, senpai?”

“Heyy!!” Yuki glared at Epel.

Idia and Levi looked at each other after hearing Epel’s words. They’re having silent conversations with each other.

“Oh, I can’t do that…Yuki-shi, why don’t we switch teams instead?” Idia began.

“Excuse me?”

“Look,  Between the two of us, I don’t have enough friends and  I’m not the main protagonist for some demon harem boys. Yuki-shi, why don’t you and I switch teams and you invite potential party members?” Idia repeated his suggestion.

Yuki blinked. She suddenly got a side quest now. She really wanted to join and participate. The only and first time she gets to use magic that isn’t for fighting or lessons. She can have Grim participate but he doesn’t want to and Ace and Deuce are stuck on extra tutoring lessons so who could it be?

Harveston Sledathon 03: 

The Recruits

“BAMM!”

The loud opening of the doors were heard as Lilia and Solomon were having tea in Diasomnia’s common room. They were discussing cooking ingredients and sharing tips on how to spice their cooking. Malleus is also there, sipping his tea while watching his little chameleon friend reading a newspaper on the coffee table. It is the only entertainment he has despite the chaotic recipes the two mages he is conversing with.

Soon, heavy footsteps were heard as they all both turned, seeing Sebek pass by marching in the hallway.

“Hey Sebek! You seemed cheery than usual, did something happen?” Lilia asked, then sipped his tea.

Sebek immediately put his head out from the wall opening before marching towards them. “Yes! Epel invited me to compete in a plush sledding tournament in Harveston so I am on my way to pack my bags for the weekends--Good afternoon Master Malleus! Chameleon!” 

“Good afternoon as well.” Malleus smiled smugly and nodded at Sebek’s greeting in which Sebek immediately greeted him and glanced at Solomon.

“Hello Mr. Solomon!”

“Hello!” Solomon greeted back. Sebek continued mentioning every name of their group including Yuki and her immediate need to recruit teams.

“Exciting! I heard of plush sledding before but never tried it.  Who else is joining?” Lilia asked and 

“Ah…that is quite problematic. I could volunteer but Yuki and I aren’t that close enough on that kind of team building yet. I might overwhelm her.” Lilia sighed, smiling.

“Sledding with dolls does seem kind of fun. -Maybe I can visit Yuki and ask if I can join in.” Solomon grinned as he wondered.

"Have you tried it before?” Lilia asked.

“No, but I’m sure it’s not that hard if it’s magic operated.” Solomon grinned. 

“Why not invite yourself as well, Malleus? You can join Solomon.”

Malleus blinked. “Oh, I couldn’t. She didn’t invite me, that would be rude.”

“Fear not sire! I can recommend both you and Lilia to the prefect.” Sebek suggested, standing tall.

“Oh Sebek don’t mind me, you and Malleus need quality time with your peers.” Lilia laughed, then looked at Malleus and Solomon. “The prefect already has a lot of friends so I recommend for the two of you to be quick if ever you wanted to.” 

“I guess I’ll think about it. Thank you” Malleus smiled calmly.

“Hmm…that is problematic.” Solomon began to think aloud. “I’m curious, What does Heartslabyul specialize in in terms of cuisine?”

Both Malleus and Sebek's  shoulders tense up, eyes widened, staring at whatever’s in front of them.

“Strict rules and Pastries.” Lilia answered smugly.

“That’s it!” Solomon snapped his finger. “I’ll bake her a cake!”

Sebek couldn’t help but clear his throat hearing this as a response.  For Malleus, he stopped sipping his drink, eyes wide, looking at the tea inside.

 “Stay strong, Prefect.” he muttered under his breath.

When Solomon had left already, the three Diasomnia students stayed for a good minute in their common room. It was Lilia who broke the silence, looking at the small chameleon staring at where Solomon has left off. He has a smug grin.

“Lucifer, if you want to join in, Sebek can personally take you. You can always hide your wittle body in his wittle pocket if you don’t want Yuki to see you.” Lilia began in a somewhat high pitched voice. “It’s not that she doesn’t know you live with us already but you know.”

Lucifer the chameleon slowly turned to Lilia who was smirking and tilting his head to the side before turning away, avoiding eye contact. “It’s not that I want to join but Solomon tends to be lenient towards Yuki, it’s quite risky if she ever uses magic.”

“That’s exactly what Grim and Epel were worried about a while ago.” Sebek said.

“Now that’s one reason for you to go--”

“No.”

“Eh?”

“I can’t. There’s no one to watch my brothers in this place.” Lucifer said.

There was silence. 

“You do know three of them came here before you, right?” Lilia corrected. “And so far, there wasn’t any trouble at the start of the school year--admit it Luci…you’re shyyy aren’t chuu?”

 Lucifer groaned and looked at Malleus frankly unamused. “Take my place, please!

“Yuki! Where are we gonna find two more people who're willing to go plush sledding with ya? It’s already evening!” Grim asked as he, Yuki and Levi are on their way to Ramshackle Dormitory. 

It’s evening now and she still has no idea who to invite. Ace and Deuce are definitely unavailable because of remedials and Satan’s on tutoring duty. Asmo has a fashion date talk with Vil and Mammon’s on a leash with Azul.

“Grim, you would be the third member if you join! Please, I really wanted to--”

“No can do! Get me 20 tuna cans then we’ll talk and I’m not talking about the ones in the cupboard.” Grim cackled then Yuki sighed heavily as she rolled her eyes, getting the door keys from her bag.

“LOLOL! You’re like Mammon and Beel combined, stingy and hungry as ever!”  Levi laughed. “Seems like you gotta max Grim’s affection points even more Yuki!”

“Sigh…as if everything I did for him isn’t considered a way to max up affection--I’m not spending 20 more tuna cans on you.” Yuki scolded glancing at Grim. 

“I might have asked Mr. Crowley if I ran out of options then.” she sighed, opening the door.

“Uh Oh! We have a secret intruder feasting in the kitchen?” The sound of sizzles was heard from the kitchen.  “Probably Ruggie or some wild animal no doubt.”

“Wait…it can't be.” Yuki stopped as a bad yet familiar smell wafts under her nose the moment she opens the door. 

Grim ran ahead and the moment she also arrived, Solomon was there cooking in her kitchen.

“Oh welcome home Yu--”

“My Tunaaaa!!!” Grim shouted as he was on his knees then fell on the floor.

Yuki also wanted to let her knees fall. Solomon is cooking again, wasting her ingredients probably but most of all…the incoming scorch stains from the pots and bowls will be and always be hard to clean.

“Y-You’re here?” Yuki asked, trying to remain a straight and normal face as she leaned on the wall.

“Well of course, I gotta keep your magic levels in monitor after all. Is something wrong?” Solomon asked, wearing his apron  with the words: Magic Daddy stirring Magical blends.

“Nothing umm…nothing at all, kinda surprised is all.” Yuki looked away sheepishly.

“Woah Solomon! Where’d you get that apron?” Levi asked.

“Oh this? Lilia gave it to me when I went to visit Lucifer this afternoon. What do you think?” Solomon asked, smiling.

“LOLOLOL TOTAL CRINGE!” Levi smirked.

“Oh well…we can't be picky when it comes to gifts.”  Solomon shrugged, amused at Levi’s remark, His eyes shifted towards the prefect. “Say, Yuki…” Solomon began looking at her with a sly gaze as if teasing.

“Mhmm?” Yuki hummed  looking up at him curiously.

“I heard you're looking for recruits for this so-called plush sledding.” Solomon then began to explain everything on how on earth he knew.As for the prefect, Yuki…her eyes shone when Solomon technically invited himself. 

“You really wanted to?” Yuki asked in glee, looking up at her mentor and friend.

“Yes! Someone needs to keep watch on your magical activity after all.” Solomon smiled. 

“Then we need one more member…”

“Wait…so that’s a cake?” Levi asked, looking at the irregular shaped big tuna cake on a plate he’s holding. 

“A tuna cake to be precise since I saw a lot of tuna cans in your cupboard.”  Solomon said. “I was about to make a dressing to give it icing but you arrived before the surprise--”

“YOU WHAAT?” Grim cried marching towards Solomon. “I’ve been saving those tuna!!!”

“Then would you want some, Grim?” Solomon crouched down, slightly shoving the tuna cake on his face.

Grim flinched. “That does look delicious…”

“Grim…it may look scrumptious but who knows what crazy twist that  cake has come--!” Levi reminded him but Grim took a large chunk and shoved it in his mouth.

“What is it now you  imbecile man--” Barbatos angrily muttered under his breath as he stood at the center of Ramshackle’s kitchen, glaring at Solomon but as he turned, he stopped upon seeing Yuki in front of him but immediately looked away. “Oh! Miss Yuki! uhh..I must apologize because of previous events--”

“Can you go plush sledding with me?”  She immediately asked even if the demon butler Barbatos refused to look at her.

“Huh? Plush…sledding?” Barbatos repeated but it wasn’t that long when he then gave a determined look. “Yes, if you’ll have me, I’ll make up for my wrong-doings so you can forgive me.”

“What a way to do 180!  What about Lord Diavolo? Does he know  you’re here?” Levi glared annoyed.

“It’s normal for demons to tend to their masters so he doesn’t mind.” Barbatos said looking at Levi then looked away, his voice toned down a bit. “Lord Diavolo doesn’t hate Miss Yuki but it is saddening that you’re staying here…permanently.” 

She didn’t say anything then she shakes her head, removing those negative thoughts. In all actuality, if looking closer within, everything that happened in her life is not Barbatos’ fault. She didn’t make a pact with him after all.

“I’m not permanently staying anywhere!” She began, looking away pouting. It’s not like I don’t want to go back to Devildom. I just need time for answers, that’s all…”

“You’re looking for answers but you’re gonna be sledding in an unrelated area?” Grim began asking. “Reminds me of Headmage Crowley.”

“Yes!” She blushed, ignoring the irony Grim has pointed out. “I deserve it, of all things that have happened.”

Harveston Sledathon 04: 

Meeting at Last

“We’re here Epel! I’m sorry we’re late!” 

It was a big revelation for both Epel to see Yuki’s other two team members in front of them. He has met and almost knew everyone that the prefect gets along and talks with. He’s aware of the animal friends she has. Epel even thought he’d invite one of the animals. He’s so used to seeing her with Ace and Deuce that seeing a new pair beside her is so fresh in the eyes.

Epel first met Solomon during SDC rehearsals, He’s not a student but is someone who is very acquainted with the headmage. He’s not a late enrollee either but resides in Ramshackle’s attic. However, as for the other tall young man, wearing an aquamarine Changshan. Epel could’ve sworn, he’s one of the students from other arcane academies that participated in the competition.

Yuki introduced Barbatos to Epel as it was their first time officially meeting each other.

“Epel…um…this is Sebastian, my friend’s family butler.” Yuki introduced the demon butler, using Barbatos’ human name instead just in case demon names are uncomfortable to say.

“He’s your butler?” Epel immediately shouted asking. 

“No, no…he’s my friend who’s a butler, he doesn’t serve me per se--” Yuki corrected but it wasn’t before long that Jade also arrived to meet them.

“Oh so this is the famous Barsitobas  I’ve been hearing about from Miss Yuki.” Jade began with Idia and Ortho with him. 

“It’s Barbatos…” Ortho corrected, whispering in his ear.

Jade was unfazed and nodded, as well as Barbatos who stared at Jade showing no offense at calling his name wrong. Jade and Floyd are twins but Jade and Barbatos looked. The two tall butlers stared at each other, smiling with their left hand over their chest.

“What’s this silent staring butler contest I’m seeing? Don’t tell me…is Jade perhaps part of the harem?”  Idia suggested with a panicked tone.

“But who would come victorious…is the question.” Levi added, peeking out of Yuki’s sleeves.

“Jade Leech, nice to meet you. I work as a server and co-owner at my dormitory’s restaurant.” Jade introduced himself to Barbatos, offering a hand shake.

“Co-owner? Since when?” Grim asked sarcastically but Jade ignored since his focus was on Barbatos.

“Barbatos. A demon butler and retainer serving  the crowned prince of Hell and Devildom . Nice to meet you as well, Mr. Jade.” Barbatos introduced as well, accepting that hand shake. Both of them shared silent chuckles as they were still holding hands from the handshake.

“Is this perhaps a feud between who has the better servant butler aura?” Levi asked as he commented. There was still the continued silence until both of them looked in Levi's direction.

“A feud? Oh heavens no, we’re merely exchanging pleasantries” Jade said. “After all I’m a waiter, not a butler.” 

Silence loomed as the rest stared at Octavinelle’s vice housewarden. 

“Aren’t you serving Azul-senpai?” Epel asked.

“No, of course not. I am only forced  if you see it that way. The only service I’d give to Azul is for merely vice housewarden duties.”  Jade answered. “In fact, I’d always be thrilled to see him cry and helpless like a baby.”

“Oh what a coincidence! I, too, shared the feelings of being forced to do something against your own will.” Barbatos chuckled which made Yuki flinched and glared. 

“But you said yes when I invited you?” she asked in a sad tone. 

Barbatos softly chuckled even more. “Of course I’m not talking about the invite, it’s HIM I’m talking about.” His head pointed in Solomon’s direction.

“Me? What did I do?” Solomon asked, pointing at himself.

“You know what you did.”

“I don’t.” 

Barbatos squinted even more, glaring but he looked over at Jade. “I look forward to getting to know you more since you heard so much about me.”

“Of course! I look forward to it.”

“Levi-chan!” Ortho began. “I’m sensing some “bad beef” between those two, Why?” he asked innocently.

“Orthoo…you can't just ask about some juicy secrets like thaaatt?” Idia began. “But NGL, Barbatos looks like an angry wife to a cheating husband LMAO! What is this, a telenovela?”

“MAKE WAY EVERYONE! PRINCE MALLEUS HAS ARRIVED!” Sebek quickly shouted as the doors burst open. Sebek marches through, grabbing everyone’s attention as well as Malleus who’s walking following him from behind.

“Malleus-senpai? Why’re you here?” Yuki asked, surprised.

“I was invited by Sebek and a little friend to this excursion of yours.” Malleus smiled. 

“It’s a suggestion from Lilia that your team needs an alternative member.” Sebek explained.

“If I remember correctly, he said something about extending social relationships.” Solomon explained.

Yuki’s eyes widened, staring at Malleus and not hearing what Solomon has just said.  She frowned, glaring but almost pouting looking up at the fae towering her.

“I’m not giving away my slot.” 

“Oh don’t worry, I’m just gonna be a spectator.” Malleus then grinned, taking something from his inside pockets from his blazer. It was two penlights between his fingers as he waved. “And don’t worry, I came prepared.”

Yuki blinked as the unlit glow sticks wave in front  of her. “It’s white colored.” Malleus added.

“P-P-P-PENLIGHTS?” Idia began, stuttering. He was  pointing at Malleus,  trembling and shaking. “Malleus-shi… Do you know…. WOTAGEI!?”

Malleus blinked at the panicked Idia. His face in utter confusion and curiosity. "What a gay?"

“Why do you even have that?” Yuki suddenly asked.

Malleus turned from Idia to Yuki, with a grin. “Lulu told me.”

Harveston Sledathon 05: 

The Uncanny Resemblance:

“ACHOO!” 

Sebek’s sneeze made the topic of families on hold for a moment and made Epel invite everyone inside his house to change into their winter clothing as promised by Epel’s family.

As they entered, just like Epel said about being in a big family. It is indeed a full-house with every family member going round and about the house. The lingering sweet aroma of apples filled the kitchen and the sizzling sounds of cooking filled each of every room. The living room was filled with scattered decorations and baskets of knitting materials which makes it hard to move around.

“Sorry about the mess, the family will be out workin’ the farm and festival prep so don’t be shy about changing.” Epel began distributing the clothes to everyone. “Hm…you can all change in mah room and the room next door.”

Epel then looked at Malleus. “Sorry Malleus-senpai, I wasn’t expectin’ ya' joining us so I didn’t ask for your set.” he said apologetically.

“Oh..that’s okay, I’m not that cold.” Malleus said smiling. “Lilia made me pack something for weathers like this you see.” 

“I’ll lend you these clothes, Malleus-sama!” Sebek quickly reaches out his folded winter gear, bowing his head.

“Ah, thank you. you better need that than I do,” Malleus said, turning to Sebek. “Go ahead and get changed already.”

“Wait--lemme just ask my pa-err..dad if he has extra that can fit ya.”

“Mr. Felmier, I’m rather surprised mine has a tag.” Barbatos began as he stayed, his new clothes hanging on his arm.

“Huh? Me?”

Barbatos gave a warm smile. “I think us joining in is  also unexpected and yet, we have these clothes.”

Epel blinked, eyes wide then immediately frowned, pouting. “I told you already! Call me Epel! Just Epel!” Then soon he grinned. “Yuki actually sent me her list last night and also your pictures  and well, uhh..I guess my folks just had a good eye, you know!”

“Is that so?” Barbatos chuckled, “Well, if by chance this doesn’t fit well, then please allow me to adjust the seams.”

It wasn’t that long before everyone was done as one by one went outside. As Malleus and Epel’s team waited, Levi, Solomon and Barbatos finally arrived. Compared to Jade, Idia and Sebek who are wearing white sweaters underneath, the other team wears black sweaters with Levi’s Applepom clothing that has a combination of different shades of orange, Solomon’s has shades of gray and for Barbatos, a combination of shades of teal.  They also don’t have headgear on.

“Ahhhh!” Levi began, looking down at his attire. He walked slowly  down the front porch then son his knees fell on the snow, dramatically. “I can’t believe it! Harveston cosplay! I’m wearing a Sledathon  on Ice Cosplay!”

“LOLOL!!! These are traditional threads, Levi-chan! Sometimes you have to differentiate reality and fiction.” Idia answered with a snarky grin.

“That’s not what you said before…” Sebek muttered, his eyes closed and brows furrowed. However, both Levi and Idia are in their own world.

“Yours is blue? Like the best girl, Ai? No faaaair!” Levi whined and Idia shrugged triumphantly.

“What can I say…I got RNG luck over here--”

“If it weren’t for your sweaters, I would assume you’re all from the same team.” Malleus began, smiling.

“What are you saying? You mean the good versus evil groups that are Based on color stereotypes? No thanks…” Idia scoffed, grinning but also received a glare from Sebek of course.

“Apparently, the villagers ran out of white rolls of wool that they have to make use of the black ones.” Solomon said. “This is too much as gifts for strangers but I’m glad regardless”

“Guys! Finally! It’s over!!!” Epel shouted as he.Yuki and Grim came out next. Yuki 

“Took you long enough, what’s over?”

Epel sighed heavily, looking away, glancing at Yuki as he chuckled nervously.

“My hair…Epel’s mom got too excited styling my hair…”  Yuki whined a bit as she sighed.

“Not to mention, they had a small argument in front of our noses.” Epel continued sighing as well. He then smiled when he took a deep breathe. “But on the bright side, ma had the chance to style an actual girl’s hair, so thanks Yuki!”

“I’m just glad your mom didn’t ruin my hair--” Yuki nervously chuckled, remembering how hard Epel's mother brushed her hair during the whole argument.

“Myehehe, it’s not like you have long hair yourself, Epel!” Grim teased which Epel glared annoyed for a bit.

“Hey! Compared to hers, my hair can only be clipped and tied--”

“Hold on…A small argument? About what exactly?” Malleus asked.

“Oh it’s just a misunderstanding. They thought Yuki’s an illegitimate child or something, my half sister or somethin’, I mean..it’s darn cool to have siblings but it sure feel weird  to know the possibility and I do hate seein’ my folks fight like that--”

What’re you staring at?” Epel argued but soon the three turned as the boys stared at them completely wide eyed.

“It didn't occur to me before but with Yuki’s hair being lighter than usual, you both look exactly the same.” Jade commented.

Both Epel and Yuki immediately raised their shoulders, their eyes on Jade.

“Not you too!” Epel whined.

Yuki had their hair tied in long twin tails. Compared to Epel’s Harveston outfit of dark purple, Yuki’s was a bit lighter with a bright pink knitted sweater under a bright purple top and fuschia colored pants. Her shoes  are white as well.

Practically, they have the same sweater pattern and the same black cap. The pattern on Yuki’s vest is similar to the boys’ outfit . In summary, both Epel and Yuki’s outfit are the same minus the apple brooches and accessories Epel had on his chest and cap. 

“It’s actually cute seeing you two next to each other.” Solomon commented.

“Cute?” Me included?” Epel repeated, pointing at himself. He and Yuki exchanged looks when everyone nodded in agreement.

“You know, if you’re wearing a wig, you’re basically twins--”

“No! I AIN'T wearing a wig--” Epel cut Solomon’s words before he’s able to finish.

Harveston Sledathon 06: 

Meeting Mee-maw!

“Yuki Hitsuji, ma’am. I’m a friend of Epel’s!” 

Marja Felmier stared at the prefect after the long series of introductions by everyone. Yuki was the one to introduce herself last, bowing her head after saying her name. Unlike everyone, Marja always gave compliments on their greetings, but for Yuki she was speechless and the prefect was getting a bit nervous if she ever showed a bit of rudeness.

Once she lifted her head up, Marja quickly squeezed her cheeks inwards, pulling her face close to her. 

“Where d’ya say you’re from, my dear?” Marja asked, both their eyes staring at each other.

“Uh…a far away place?” Yuki answered since she can’t say hell.

“What place?” Marja continued.

“Er…” Yuki stuttered. She hasn’t been much outside aside from Night Raven. “Uhh…Briar Valley?” she blurted without thinking, repeating Malleus when he mentioned his homeland. She doesn’t even sure what she told to Epel’s parents when they asked that.

“You’re a fae?” 

“Uh…I just live there?” Yuki looked away as she said that, ignoring the stares from behind.

“I see…I see…is there anyone in your family with Felmier or Apfel as their last name?” 

“G-grandma?” 

“Uh…no…I don’t think--no definitely not.” Yuki said in confidence, making Marja frowned as she grumbled internally.

“It’s just, you look so much like my daughter when she was your age.” Marja continued. “When Epel gave me your photo, the folks quickly lost their marbles and said that I had to knit you a sweater.” 

“Uhh..thank you.” Yuki said awkwardly. “Maybe it’s just a coincidence Ms. Marja.” 

“If you’ll excuse me, Ms. Marja.” Solomon began standing next to Yuki. “I’m sorry to say but Yuki here just dyed her hair, she originally has dark hair.”

“Dyed? As in hair color?”

“Yes, Here, this was her before.” Solomon then showed his phone after a quick browse.

Yuki quickly shot up at Solomon, feeling a tinge of relief for giving such a valid evidence and testimony. Except for Levi and Barbatos, Everyone was all huddled together on Solomon’s phone seeing Yuki in her RAD uniform with her twirly sheep horn  somewhere in the devildom.

“Oh my…you do have fae horns afterall…a unique one at that.”

“Barbatos, I just thought of something,” Levi began as both the demons stood watching everyone. “It would be funny to think Yuki is Epel’s kid from the future who time travels. Maaan…that’ll be a huge plot twist LOLOL!”

“Fufufu. That is kinda amusing to think actually--Yes?” Barbatos chuckled along with Levi but turned to the group as he noticed them slowly turning their heads at them.

There was a moment of silence as everyone had their eyes from Levi and Barbatos down to Epel.

“Epel, you’re going to marry a fae?” Jade asked, watching Epel had his eyes closed  and Yuki covering half her face.

“If you’d like Epel, I can introduce you to a few fae  in Briar Valley.” Malleus suggested. “Of course, they’ll be 150 years old human years but still young in fae years.” 

“I DARN DON'T CARE!” Epel shouted before anyone could even ask again.
