NOT A SIMPLE MISSION

Azren felt like crying in his room. He was sitting in the middle of the bed while looking down at the floor blankly.

The idol Michy was the one who caused his head felt like it was going to explode now. For several hours he became the nice idol Michy, then the next several hours he turned into the evil Michy.

Azren had tried to calculate the time, but it seemed that there was no exact pattern about the idol's continuous change. Michy just kept changing randomly, and he didn't know how to stop the change.

"Sulking like that won't help you to reach your goal."

A familiar voice penetrated his sense of hearing, and Azren looked up immediately. He gasped upon seeing Orgonel standing near his room door. He failed to sense the senior demon's appearance again, but he was glad to see the demon when his mind was so unclear right now.

The young demon immediately straightened up his body before getting up from the bed. "I'm very happy to see you again, Sir!" He immediately exclaimed with his eyes full of stars.

Azren was never happy to see Orgonel. The senior had always been strict and cold towards him, and he would rather not look at the senior demon if it wasn't necessary.

But, he was very happy to see senior demon again tonight. After a day full of drama with his target, he finally got a refresher after seeing his senior's face. It sounded creepy, but he could care less because he needed the senior demon now.

"It's only your third day in the human world, yet you're already crying like a baby?" Orgonel was so sarcastic like usual, and Azren wasn't surprised anymore as he stood straight in front of the long-haired demon.

"You and our king didn't tell me the details about Michy, and I didn't expect that my target would be a crazy boy."

It seemed that Orgonel didn't like his comment as the older demon frowned at him. "Michy is not crazy," he voiced out his disagreement.

Azren looked very frustrated by the argument. "How can you say he's not crazy, Sir?" He asked again in disbelief. "He's kept switching between the two personalities in the last three days, and it's driving me crazy. One time he could be an innocent and good boy, but other times he could be eviler than us. Can you imagine my suffering when I lived with him, Sir?"

For the first time in 200 years, Azren dared to nag the older demon. He had only been in the human world for three days, but the shy Azren had undergone a change in him unnoticed.

Orgonel noticed the change, but he didn't say anything and just kept the smile for himself.

"There's indeed a problem with Michy, but he isn't crazy."

Azren's breath hitched when he heard the older demon's answer. "What do you mean, Sir? You and our king have known about it all along, right? What's wrong with Michy? Why does he keep changing like that?"

Azren looked like he was fuming inside, but the demon before him remained cool.

"It's your mission, Azren. You are the one who has to find out what's wrong with Michy, and you are also the one who has to solve the problem with him. That's why our king sent you to the human world."

It was about his mission again. Azren originally only thought that Lucifer sent him to the human world to punish him, but now he realized that everything was far from simple.

His mission was not simple, Michy was not simple, and everything was not simple! He really wanted to cry.

"Are you and our king hiding something from me, sir?" Azren could only think like that after he realized something was wrong with the mission in the human world. He didn't mean to suspect his senior as well as his boss, but he wanted to know the details about everything.

Orgonel didn't immediately give him an answer, but he was patiently waiting for the answer.

"You're right, Azren," the senior demon finally replied. "We did hide some secrets from you, but we will reveal them all to you after you complete your mission."

Azren's heart thumped loudly. His hunch was right. His mission in the human world was not simple.

"Can you tell everything to me now, Sir? I promise that I will do the mission properly and won't disappoint you and our king," the blonde demon tried to bargain even if he wasn't sure if the older man would tell him everything now.

And maybe Orgonel indeed wouldn't tell him everything now because the older demon gave him a heavy sigh instead of a direct answer.

"Our king didn't let me tell you everything right now. He didn't tell me the reason, but he told me to hide the secret from you for now. He wanted you to complete the mission first before he would tell you everything."

Azren had made a right guess. He wouldn't get any information from the older demon tonight.

"So, that's the requirement from our king? I need to bring Michy to Hell first before our king will tell everything to me?"

He could see his senior nod at him, and he ran his hand to his blonde locks to ruffle it roughly. He huffed heavily, looking frustrated as ever.

"I only need to rise Michy's evil meter to maximum, right? That's the only requirement from our king, right? Then, how is Michy's evil meter status now? I've succeeded in raising his evil meter today, haven't I?"

Azren was confident because he was sure that he had done his job properly today. And yeah, his confidence was proven right when he heard the senior demon's answer.

"Yeah, you have successfully raised his evil meter today, but it dropped once again when you and he smiled and laughed together while signing your stupid agreement."

What? Was that even real? Azren felt like fainting now.
