What now?

Craig lead them to his bedroom as he sat down on his bed with Cammy and Eve standing in front of him.

Craig:...where do I begin...

Craig(mind):I-I need to explain everything to Cammy about what's going on as well as my situation within all of this...U-um, I know I need to start with Eve b-but-

Eve:I'll give her the knowledge of the past two days of our interaction master, it'll save us some time as well as plan our next move.

Cammy:that's it? If it was that easy then why not do that outside of the house...unless you were accounting for scouts and having the ability for mind reading then I'd say it was a decent plan.

Craig:...I didn't know that she can send information telepathically of the past two days in seconds...Everything else was spot on...

Cammy looked smug as she chuckled at her being mostly right while Craig thinks for a moment.

Craig(mind):How intelligent is she? She knows multiple languages, and have knowledge of firearms by what I've seen...she doesn't know anything about modern day stuff...as w-well as common sense? She did shoot up a diner not too long ago...plus I haven't asked more questions about the tournament from the Holy Spirit but by how scared I've gotten as well as how much I was taking in from the new knowledge given to me that I'm more surprised b-by how I-I'm not I-insane yet...r-regardless I need to at least explain the rules to her within the household.

Cammy:I see, I suppose I can help him get those rumors sorted out.

Craig:oh? And how would you do that?

Cammy:since you said we can't kill them so why not bribe them!

Craig:do I look like a piggy bank to you?

Cammy:who said it would be your money! We can just-

Craig:no stealing unless I say so.

She looked disappointed but continues.

Cammy:fine, then we'll torture them and get rid of the false information out from their carcass and-!

Craig:if you do that I'll take your candy privileges away.

Cammy then looked mortified.

Cammy:NEIN!!! Don't do it please! I won't do it master I swear! I want my candy please!

Craig(mind):her mood changes on a whim, I-is she...no, she isn't bipolar, n-nor two faced...but she does have child like qualities...

Craig:if you promise to do what I tell you to do, as well as follow the rules I'll give you candy as well as play...videogames.

Cammy looked happy as she stood up with her arms and legs together like a military man would do.

Cammy:yes sir! I, the demon king will follow your orders, my retainer!

She then raised her right hand out forward with Craig starting to go wide eye as eve looked at her in confusion.

Cammy:Hagel Siegesführer Craig Armstrong!

Craig continues to stare at her with a very unhappy expression, in his mind he was very angry at seeing her do that infront of him, he knows the history behind it as well as how that was happening within World War II. A vein popped out from his forehead from anger as eve looked at her confusedly.

Eve:where did you learn that? I never seen that before.

Cammy:oh, in hell I seen everyone doing it so I thought it was cool to do it to.

Cammy smiled as eve suddenly looked at Craig with her eyes widened in fear as she instantly went to the bed with Cammy looking confused by her actions.

Craig:get over here for a second...Cammy, I need to talk to you in private...

Cammy:hm, what for?

Cammy looked at him and started to freeze in fear at his presence, his aura was murderous as he looked at her with a glare that cold kill her.

Craig:now.

Cammy was shaking.

Cammy:o-ok...

Craig walked out of the room as he then lets Cammy get out too, eve went to the door so she can ease drop on the conversation.

Cammy:U-um so what do you want to-

Craig planted his right foot near her head as he leaned his face forward hovering against her.

Craig:I'm your master right?...and you have to do everything I say, is that correct?

Cammy:s-si...

Cammy was starting to sweat. As she can see Craig's glaring at her with what appears to be blood lust.

Craig:and my order to you is that...can you not perform the salute please.

Cammy:huh?

Cammy started to look confused as he continues to stare at her.

Craig:you see...there's a terrible history behind that salute, and seeing it made me very angry, as well as anyone else that knows about it would be even angrier then I would. I assume you didn't know better, I held everything back from yelling at you...as of today you should never do that gesture again.

Cammy looked relieved as she placed her right hand to her heart.

Cammy:I understand, I'm sorry for bringing up such terrible history, durch den Willen Gottes soll es geschehen!

Craig planted his left hand to the other side of her head as she eeps.

Craig:WAS THAT BLOODY GERMAN?!

Craig looked even angrier as Cammy looked even more scared at the point where she might cry.

Craig:TODAY AND TODAY ONLY YOU WILL NOT SPEAK GERMAN, DO I MAKE MYSELF CLEAR WOMAN!!!

Cammy nodded very fast as she did it for about twenty times.

Craig gets off of her as he placed his hand to pinch the bridge of his nose.

Craig(mind):o-oh my g-goodness gracious I-I can't believe I had to deal with this...I also can't b-believe I had gotten so angry...possibly the angriest I've gotten in m-my life...

Craig:it's about lunch...I'm going to make something so stay with eve and hangout, I'll be back to get the two of you here.

Cammy nodded as she entered the room where eve was at the bed looking at Cammy.

Eve:I've never seen master get that angry before in my life.

Cammy:it was something about a terrible past about that gesture and what not, regardless I thought he was going to kill me! That aura was something I've never seen before and I've killed putain de dragons and demons as well as all sorts of blya creatures and people but him?! He's not scary until that aura kicks in!

Eve:my oh my, your quite the cold blooded killer. But even we are afraid of him.

Cammy looked smug as she smiled ear to ear having eve feed her ego

Cammy:mwehehhehheh, I am quite the fighter but enough about my glorious self we need to talk about my master...or in this case our master.

Eve:oh? And what of it?

Cammy:you showed me on the memories of my retainer Armstrong being a normal human with abnormal abilities.and yet I still couldn't enslave him with my spell-

Eve looked at her furiously.

Eve:you tried to do what now?!

Cammy looked annoyed at her out burst.

Cammy:what? You think I wanted to be a servant? You have a brain so start using it, then put two and two together to form the puzzle from the pieces I've given you.

Eve closed her eyes for a moment then open them.

Eve:I see, you can only make the servant spell to work on people weaker then you...but because of my presence making your spell got reversed because of how powerful I am compared to you.

Eve giggles as Cammy looked at her in a deadpaned expression as she started to glare at her.

Cammy:I can see why people would hate you.

Eve had a vain popping out on her forehead as she looked a bit mad.

Eve:oh? Are sure about that, by the look of things I'd say master hates you.

Cammy had a vain popping out on her forehead too, they were both visibly mad at each other with blood lust aura on both sides.

Cammy:I'm starting to wonder if my retainer should start disciplining you, maybe you'll learn some manners on how to treat your king.

Eve:what's a king to a non follower?

Cammy:and what is a non follower to basic execution?

They both continue to glare at each other as they were holding back their urges to kill each other.

Craig:IF THE BOTH OF YOU KEEP ON FIGHTING YOU CAN FORGET ABOUT YOUR FOOD PRIVILEGES FOR THE REST OF THE DAY!!!

Cammy and eve stoped as they looked scared as they didn't want to lose their privilege to eat Craig's cooking.

Eve:yes master!

Cammy:HAI!!!

They both looked at each other as they silently glare at each other.Cammy then saw something that caught her eye, it was a game system as she approached it looking at it curiously.

Cammy:I remember this...I believe this is a game system...hmmm...how do I?

Cammy crouches down to press a button, they system lights up but the tv wasn't showing anything.Cammy then pressed a few buttons before the tv turned on.

Cammy:hmmm.

Cammy then saw a menu with a profile saying stuckmacaroni as eve looked at it with an intrigued expression.

Eve:what is this?

Cammy gave a smug smile.

Cammy:I believe this is an electronic device called videogames...or arcade machine...one of the two, if I recalled my retainer told me all about it as well as how much fun it is to play such games.

Eve:is that so?...wait, STOP CALLING HIM YOUR RETAINER!

Cammy:he was going to be one if a specific hybrid бимбо didn't got to him first!

Eve:what did you just said to me you demonic piece of shit?!

Craig:FINAL WARNING, STOP FIGHTING!!!

Eve:yes master!

Cammy:Nem!

Cammy and eve sighs as they started to silently glare at each other.

Cammy:how about this, I challenge you to a contest of games! We'll play a game against each other to see who will be the better lady, the loser has to do what the winner wants them to do, fair right?

Eve:tch, I know that you played games more then I have but-

Cammy:I'll choose a game I have never played before, it will be even on both sides, I maybe a demon king but I will be fair when it comes to a contest, a fight on the other hand, there is no fairness nor honor, just violence and survival.

Eve:oh? I see we have something in common here.

The two started to give out an evil laugh.meanwhile craig was making something simple today, it was a grilled cheese with Canadian bacon lettuce and tomatoes.

Craig(mind):th-this might help them calm down, I don't usually eat pork unless I have to but luckily I can just eat an apple for lunch instead...things have started t-to get quiet...I think I should get them their food before things reescalate.

Craig got the two plates ready as he walked up to the room and opened the door to see the two trying to win some sort of racing game...but instead their going in reverse as well as going through the wrong way. The girls appeared to be frustrated as they play the game.

Craig:...are you two having fun?

Cammy:Yīdìng bùxíng!!!

Eve:This game sucks...

Eve had a frustrated smile while Cammy appeared to be close to going complete and utter ape shit.

Craig(mind):o-oh dear, there about to get angry over a videogame...I-I think I should try to give them their food before that anger goes to hanger.

Craig:...why don't you two take a break and have something to eat, I have a couple of sandwiches for you two to snack on.

The two completely stopped playing the game as they instantly looked at Craig with what appears to be food on him.

Craig:it's a grilled cheese...both of you get one.

Eve looked happy as she took it and started to eat it with a pleasing sound of her humming.Cammy looked at it for a moment as she analyze eve's expression as well as her eating it, she then grabbed the sandwich to examine it as the aroma filled her nose, it was a great smell as she took a bite to test it...she started to look shocked as she has her eyes sparkling like a star.

Cammy: oy, Ji bun no, el Diablo!!!

Cammy started to consume it as fast as eve as they loved the grilled cheese given to them, they looked pleased as Craig continues to look at their satisfied faces.

Craig:...I'm going to put this away, I'm going to check the kitchen to see if we have enough for dinner.

Eve:yes master~!

Cammy:All right Craig! If you're able to make more food then you'll have my praise as a wonderful retainer master.

Craig(mind):I'm your retainer as well as your m-m-master, p-please make up your mind, it's an ether or here.

Craig:...whatever you say Cammy...as long as it makes you happy.

Cammy:hehhehheh, see eve, he is my retainer through and through!

Eve was glaring at the smug smiled Cammy as you can practically see fire in her eyes from anger, Craig and Cammy felt that as Craig didn't show it but he was a bit nervous while Cammy was smiling a tad more.

Cammy:what's wrong mix breed? Just proven wrong got you rilled up?

Eve:I'm going to-

Cammy:ah ah ah, you can't harm me unless master says so.plus we're supposed to get a long remember.

Craig:can the two of you stop egging each other on, the last thing I need is the two of you to continue fighting if we're under attack.

Cammy:that is true, the last thing we needed is for us to be divided rather then united...hmmmm...

Craig:it starts by having a simple conversation, I'm going to leave you two alone within the house, I'll be back with groceries from my job.

Eve:you have a job?

Cammy:hmmmmmm...

Craig:...yes...are you still thinking...

Craig looked deadpanned at Cammy as she continues to have a thinking face on.

Craig(mind): I-is it really that interesting?

Craig started leaving the room as he stopped at his door.

Craig:I'm leaving, make sure the house is intact, if I found anything damaged...

Craig looked back at them with his nervous habit kicking in, the two started to shake in fear as Craig stares at them.

Craig:there will be consequences...understand?

The two lady's started to nod their heads up and down very fast as Craig turned around stopping his nervous habit.

Craig:good...I'll be back in a few hours...

Craig Continues to go outside of the house as he took a few deep breaths in and out, he wanted to think clearly on the events that transpired today.

Craig:how in the world I've gotten myself into this mess...

Craig(mind):that was very r-rhetorical Craig, n-now we should just be there in and out before anyone see's me in there...I j-just hope they don't burn down the house while I'm away.

As Craig continues to walk away Cammy and eve started to ply some co-op games in the game Console.

Eve:And this is suppose to help us by?

Cammy:teamwork! We are in need of getting along if we're going to be in the same house together as well as being teammates in this Tournament.

Eve:I think we should do physical teamwork rather then using the entertainment box for us to practice cooperation.

Cammy started to look at her deadpaned as she exhaled.

Cammy:if we try to do that we'll end up damaging the house if not destroy the house...do you know how mad he's going to be when that happens?

Eve's eyes widened as she pictures a pissed of Craig making her shake a bit.

Cammy:good, now we should start this cluiche dúr.

Somewhere else a hand bust out of the dirt as it appears to be skeletal. Back with the girls, they were about to start the game until suddenly eve got out of her trans and looked towards the left of her as Cammy looked at her confusedly.

Cammy:what's up?

Eve:an unknown life form is near by.

Cammy:how close?

Eve:about five miles away from the house.

Cammy:leave it alone. If we start going in unprepared we'll get our zhopa handed to us, plus we might accidentally destroy the house in the process of battle.

Eve looked at her a bit concern but sighs at the fact that Cammy was right.

Eve:fine, I suppose I'll stay put for now, we should keep tabs on it just in case it goes to us or craig.

Cammy:I'm sure he'll be fine, after all knowledge is power, and by far that man has a lot of power.

Eve:oh? And how do you know that?

Eve was curious about her statement since she doesn't really know herself on Craig's intelligence.

Cammy:I'll tell you later after the game... Naze anata wa kusoshaberu to shite purei suru koto ga dekimasu ka?! Watashi wa kami no damu no tsuruhashi o shitakunai!

Meanwhile Craig was in the city as it was busy with the crowds of people in it, he continues to go to his destination as he found his store, every person near him stared at him as they tried to avoid him.

Craig(mind):th-there it is, I hope I-I can find some of the ingredients for lasagna.

Craig walked into the store as it was busy, he looked around to see the place flooded with customers.Craig was trying his best to not get nervous by the amount of people within the area.

Craig(mind):o-ok, just go and get the ingredients...get out of here after so I won't indirectly cause a scene.

Craig started to walk around within the the store as he grabbed a cart to use. Craig started to grab what he needed while he get the stares and hear the chatter behind his back.

Woman:oh my god, is that-?

Man:that demon, he's something we need to avoid, if that monster start smiling, it means he's thirsty for carnage.

Craig started to sigh as the man and woman tense up. Craig looked over towards them to see pasta noodles as he approached it.the man and woman froze in fear as Craig was infront of them, they shake in fear as Craig lifted his right hand from his pockets making the two cower in fear as he reached up to grab some noodles for his lasagna.he started to walk away as the two fearful people looked at him before fainting.

Craig(mind):I guess the adults know my rumors too...I-I really need to be careful so it doesn't get worse then it is…they change their stock placement every week so it'll take an extra second to find the ingredients…

Craig continues walking as he started to collect more and more of the ingredient so that he can make enough for everyone at the house.

Craig(mind):th-this is going to cost me more then usual since I have two more m-mouths to feed…I think I should ask the manager to help me get some more hours in.

Craig continues his shopping as he saw Steve looking around with his own basket.

Craig(mind): I guess t-today is shopping day for him… I better leave him be before people see us interacting.

As Craig went to the register he felt his phone's vibrating.Craig placed his stuff on the conveyor belt as he checked his phone to see Steve texting him.

Steve(text):Well well, the wolf has came to the stock market to get some sheep.

Craig sighs a bit at the joke as he text back.

Craig(text):yeah, I'm grocery shopping because of the lack of food within my house.

Craig sent the text as Steve replied.

Steve(text):really? How did you ran out of food? Have anyone over?

Craig froze up and his nervous habit kicked in.

Craig(mind):h-how am I going to respond to that?! O-oh you know, two creatures from the literal Bible came over to live at my house, now the two are slaves of mine, d-did I forgot to mention that there lady's too? O-or is that not bad enough to talk about the fact that the reason why this is h-happening is that there is a tournament to decide who will be god and possibly the devil!!! How in the bloody world is he going to believe that let along tell a f-fib that can get him to not see right through it since I'm basically in the same store as him!!!

Craig was staring at the phone as the room began to be filled with dread, despair, and all around terror as everyone in the store is staring at Craig like a deer in headlights. Most of them are trembling while others faint one by one.Steve was shaken by it but not to the point of panic as he saw craig staying like that as he seem to be like that for about ten seconds.the cashier was basically just trying her best to serve her job even though she is terrified.

Craig(mind):I-I got it!!! After thinking of 987,420,698,999,115,935 ways to respond I found the perfect way to tell him!

Craig looked at his phone as he started to text his response, his nervous habit started to fade as he typed it down.

Craig(text):I found a couple of homeless strangers, I'm letting them have a place to stay until it's all situated within their lives. I'm telling my dad about it once he gets home.

Steve looked at the text as he raised a brow, he knew for a fact that what he saw earlier was Craig's nervous reaction. He feels like something is up, Craig isn't the type of person to freak out with a simple question.

Steve(text):ok, I hope everything turns out well.

Craig felt relief as he started to text back.

Craig(text):me too.

Steve(text):actually if it's alright with you maybe we can hangout? We have never done it before so I thought maybe it's a good day to do so since your little play date with Lilly😏.

Craig(mind):w-well, I can handle the way back, it's not going to be crowded so no one is going to get to see us hang out.

Craig(text):sure, just on the way back since the groceries are still in need of refrigeration.

Steve(text):of course!😁

Craig looked at the cashier as she seemed to have went frozen from fear as Craig sighs and started to do her job for her. He scanned the groceries as well as bagged them.once bagged he gave the money to her as he walked out of the store with Steve on his trail. It was a bit awkward since he doesn't have anything to talk about.

Craig:so…how is your day?

Steve:good, I thought it was kinda funny seeing everyone in the store went of the rails because of you trying to respond to my text.

Steve chuckled as Craig wasn't happy about that.

Steve:what? It's pretty funny.

Steve continues to smile at him as Craig sighs.

Steve:now now, I'm not making fun of you, just curious how that caused you trouble.

Craig started to feel nervous as he doesn't think Steve was going to pressure this.

Craig:I-

???:holy shit that's some badass cosplay!

Craig and Steve looked to their right to see a couple of guys talking to what appears to be a woman. Steve and Craig looked shocked at what they are seeing. The woman appeared to have short black hair, pale grey skin, black eyeris, a black hoodie with a burning cross on the front of her hoodie, double d cup size.

Craig(mind):cosplayer? Wait…the last time something l-like this happened…

She was surrounded by a couple of dudes as she looked up a bit showing her left eye missing while her right eye is there with a black eyeris.

Steve: Woah, that's very impressive. She really looked like she's some sort of zombie.

Steve chuckled as he brought out a phone to take a few pictures as Craig's eyes widened.

Craig:is that so…

Craig(mind):a zombie?! I-if I remember correctly from those fictional games, movies and books that they consume the living flesh!!!

Craig was thinking of stepping in but people are watching, if he do anything at the moment then he might get an even worse reputation then he has now as well as confirming a good amount of them.

Steve looked at Craig as he can tell that something is up from his eyes.

Steve:are you doing ok Craig? You've been acting strange recently.

Craig:…just shocked at what I'm seeing is all…

Steve:fair point, it really dose look real-

Man 1:dude it's like there's a hole in her eye!

The man was inching his finger into her eye socket as the zombie's facial expression went from annoyed to agitated as she pulled her right arm from her hoodie pocket and punched the dude in the stomach. He coughed out spit as well as vomited when launched into a car denting it, the other dude looked scared as he ran away, her right forearm and hand was all bone as her hood went off showing her head.Steve's eyes went widened as Craig's nervous habit kicks in as both of them are sweating from fear at what they just saw.

Steve:did she just-

Craig:punched him…

Craig(mind):m-my worries just been confirmed…she's a zombie…and possibly a contestant…

Zombie: watch were your touching asshole!!!

She looked aggravated as Steve and Craig continues to stare at her pondering on what to do.

Meanwhile.

Cammy and eve were playing a fighting game as cammy's character got k.o'd and went flying towards a car crashing into it. Eve was smirking while Cammy on the other hand looked physically pissed off.

Cammy:KAMI FUCKING DAMNIT!!!

Eve was laughing as she looked at Cammy.

Eve:awww, what's wrong misses demon king, not use to someone being better then you?

Eve teases as Cammy's face gained a vain in anger as she looked at eve.

Cammy:SAYS THE BASTICH THATS BEEN CHEESING HER OPAI OFF WITH LITTLE TO NO SKILL!!!

Eve:excuses,excuses. Your just not as good as you think you are miss self overestimation.

Eve gave a laugh as Cammy was shaking with rage.

Cammy: Vieni qui Haiburiddo imawashiki!!!

Cammy pounced at her as eve was taken by surprise taking her down to the floor.

Meanwhile back with Craig and Steve.

Steve:what just…happened…

Craig:...…something unnatural….
