Chapter 7: The Game, Grave, and Kiss

Disclaimer: The Tekken moves are fabricated, while the story is mine. I applied as a mangaka assistant to get onto the Beelzebub team but they need to know how to draw.

Oga's POV

Argh I had had enough of this responsibility-pushing jackass of a Demon Lord. He dared to not only challenge me in a game but I could choose. He was taunting me by showing me that he could beat me in any game he wanted. I punched a "Test Your Strength" machine to calm myself down and the machine broke. Then I turned to the demon lord and said, "I accept your challenge but since I am playing a King I want two rewards when I win. The first a letter stating that Hilda can call Beel by name and second you as my representative asking Hilda's parents approval of me being her husband. Do you accept?"

The Demon Lord looked at me as if I had asked for the simplest things possible. He then laughed and said, "Now I know why my son likes you. You could care less if I am a Demon Lord or not stating that when you win rather than if. I also like your naïve courage, come choose a game you like and let me educate you. I accept your terms and conditions because you accept mine."

I looked and looked, I would have bet my life for this room one year ago, but now my head has just these thoughts, 'Fight to protect Hilda and Beel!' A year ago, I would have never thought that I would suddenly fall in love with a woman from hell. I saw a fighting games section and decided it was best to duke it out man to man. I would just fist fight him but he was probably hundred times stronger than Beel when in hell, and there was no way I was risking this gamble. The very thought of being separated from Hilda and Beel made my skin crawl. I saw an arcade game I used to play a lot, Tekken 3® I decided that was the best game to play because it had a variety of characters and it lasted 3 rounds. I moved towards the game and told the Demon King, "Let me wipe your face in the dirt with this game." The Demon Lord started the game and said, "I am Player 1 and you better not regret your choice later." The Demon Lord chose Jin and I picked King as my character.

AN: These are two characters in the game with which I have been able to finish the game! For the game section, I will use Jin and King.

The game started each round was going to be sixty seconds long. Depending on how the game would, play out this could be longest three minutes of my life. The announcer spoke, "Round 1. Ready. Fight!" Both of our characters ran towards the other Jin ducked under King's flying drop kick and connected with a huge spinning backhand punch. King did a flip on the ground, kicked Jin's chin, and then kicked three times out of which two were successfully blocked. Now it was a punching contest, lefts, rights, jabs, uppercuts, blocks, throws the whole deal. There were 15 seconds left in the first half and Jin had ten percent of his health while King had two percent. Jin was trying to make space between the two because even tough an attack would put King down, the same was true for Jin. King started to run and suddenly he pounced upon Jin like a tiger after it's pray. Jin however, was ready and kicked King into the ground. There were three seconds left on the clock when the announcer declared, "Round 1 Winner Jin." I looked towards the Demon Lord who did not seem to be smirking or laughing it was as if he was unaware of his surroundings. Then I turned my attention towards the screen the announcer spoke, "Round 2. Ready. Fight!" This time King's attack connected first and it was a kick to the chest. Jin got up and jumped into the air. While defying all of the laws of gravity he started to spin. Jin kicked King who was now down. King sprung up, kicked Jin's jaw, and followed with three quick punches. Jin was disoriented due to the barrage of strikes; King took advantage of this and jumped on top of Jin's head. King then used his body weight and while doing a back flip he slammed Jin's head into the ground. Then he started kicking the ground, and as soon as Jin got up King gave him a finishing uppercut. The announcer spoke, "Round 2 Winner King." I just defeated the Demon Lord from a better margin than he defeated me. I felt so proud even Baby Beel on my shoulders was dancing with glee screaming, "Aba Dabuh!"

However, I knew the celebrations had to wait until after I had won the third round. The announcer declared the start of the third round. This time we both wanted to see how the other would start the attack. King started to attack with a combo of low kicks it let Jin know that he was going to win without running like a chicken. Jin punched King twice to let him know this was going to be a fight he was going to win. Jin had eighty-two percent health left while King had eighty percent left. King had to attack next to get the upper hand back; he rushed into Jin with a spear. Jin saw the attack coming and step to the side, King did a front flip turned around and gave Jin a spinning kick to the jaw. King would win if the time was to stop but neither would be happy if the clock were to decide the outcome of their match. King provoked Jin by asking him to come and attack him. Jin rushed towards King with a flying kick, which was miraculously blocked. King took advantage of the situation and kicked Jin twice once on the face then on the chest. The clock showed twenty-five seconds with Jin having only ten percent of his health left while King had fifty-two percent left. Both the Demon Lord and I were ready to launch our next attack when Beel pulled the wire out and started to cry due to the shock.

I tapped Beel on the head and said, "You know better than to touch the wire, and now that you caused the problem you want to cry? Don't you remember the lesson your mom and I taught you? A man learns from his mistakes and does not repeat them again. You touched the wire at home and it hurt, you cried and we told you why. When we asked you why you said, "Dah!" that means you understand but now you touch the wire again. Be a man and hold your tears in because your stupidity caused them." Beel stopped crying; I took him to the ball pen and said, "Play here till I kick your dad's ass."

"Now co-parent let us start the game again I am still going to kick your ass." The Demon Lord shouted, "Get me a transfer gem, my official seal, and the official notepad." He then turned to me and said, "Oga you pass as a father for my little brat and as Hilda's husband. I will write a letter to Hilda that lets her know that she my permission to call the brat whatever she likes. I will not reveal to her our little gamble as long as you say that you asked for my permission and I said okay. Now we will go visit Hilda's parents while her sister is being summoned to where they are."

The Demon Lord then gave me a letter and a circular ball and said, "This letter tells Hilda that she can call Beelzebub whatever name she likes, bite on that ball and we will meet Yolda where her parents are." I bit on the ball and suddenly transferred into a gray area. I saw Yolda and wished she were Hilda because I wanted to kiss that face. Yolda did not notice me, or ignored me but she bowed to the Demon Lord and asked, "Your Majesty, I hope I can be of help but why summon me to this place?" The Demon Lord answered, "A suitor that I believe to be the best fit for Hilda wanted her parents' approval. So I brought him here, but he needs the whole family to accept him hence you are here too." Yolda's face screamed that somebody was in love with Hilda enough to marry her.

The Demon Lord then asked me step forward, and Yolda's mouth dropped as I said, "Hey! Long time no see. I am here to ask for Hilda's hand in marriage." Yolda probably wanted to shout why he was the best suitor. However, she knew better than to question the King of Hell. She waited a few moments and said, "I accept him as my sister's husband because he may be human but this man could give Lucifer a run for his money. I have never seen a bigger idiot trying to take on the strongest army from Hell for a woman. They would be miserable together and I think these two deserve each other." When Yolda turned and started to speak, I realized I was at a gravesite but since I was inside the family grave, I did not realize until then. Yolda finished speaking, turned to me, and said, "I might hate her but it is my way of getting her attention, you hurt her or tell her that I love her I will rip your balls out. Hope you make each other miserable."

She then turned to the Demon Lord and said, "The family approves Hilda marrying this foolish human since he is recommended by the Demon Lord himself. I leave the family seal to you to give to Oga Tatsumi." Yolda disappeared and the Demon Lord gave me Hilda's family seal. It was about time that I left. So, I called Alaindelon who immediately appeared; I thanked the Demon Lord and transferred to the top of the school's roof where Hilda would come to deliver lunch. As I transferred onto the roof the bell for lunch rang, I was so happy. I held Beel as Simba in the Lion King and twirled him round and round. Then I heard the rusty door creak open I knew it was Hilda since I had Alaindelon make sure that no one would come to the roof except for Hilda. Fruichi who was the only person Alaindelon allowed since he was weird like that. I pretended not to notice her so she coughed a little to let me know she was there. This time there were no remarks about how I should be careful not to treat the young master as my play toy. She just stood there smiling and blushing at the same time. I could not resist myself anymore I place Beel next to Fruichi and I ran towards her. I lifted her into the air and twirled her around twice before I put her down and kissed her on the cheek.

She tried to ask me why was I so happy, but I just asked for the bento and said I would tell her when I got home. We then headed towards Beel who was happy seeing his parents happy. Fruichi looked like he would complain any second now. I looked at him with a death glare and said, "If you want to complain disappear right now. Actually you know what just leave before I punch you down the stairs." Fruichi quickly disappeared screaming, "OGA YOU BASTARD, YOU TOOK MY HILDA AWAY FROM ME!" We spent the rest of the lunch in silence except for the compliments I gave her food since I saw the band-aids on her fingers. The food tasted good but even if it did not as a man, I would not only have to eat it but compliment it too. Beel was happily drinking milk in his mother's lap. It was a perfect family picture if only Hilda would dress as a girl rather than a nanny.

The lunch bell rang and Hilda was about to leave, I grabbed her hand and said, "From now on you are his mother not his nanny. No one is going to replace you so, you can call him whatever you like. Now come on give it a try." Hilda looked confused so I showed her a letter from the Demon Lord and said, "Alaindelon gave this to me that was the reason for my happiness. Now try calling him by a cute baby name." Hilda did not need to be told twice, once she had read the letter happiness was written all over her face. She grabbed him from my back and spoke, "Beelzy I will see you at home."

She was now leaving for a second time but I wanted to stop her again, kiss her, and tell her I love her. Except that, surprise had to wait until tonight. I just had to keep it together till this evening and if she accepted my proposal, she was mine. I would make her the happiest woman alive; I just have to hang in there until tonight. I texted Misaki letting her know that Hilda is on her way back home. The next few hours are going to be the longest of my life.
