How endearingly detestable. But, given this
    one’s intention behind the bestowed object,
    he’d at least refrain from having it ordered to
    be shoved in the trash with the other’s notice.

   ❝Fanciful, my friend. Truly.❞

    _{The possibility crossed his mind to consider  
     chasing after him himself, in canine form,
     to which he then neglected the idea because 
     Pheles would be an utter fool for doing so.}

    <sub>This is why he kept the younger brothers on
    school premises. Let the Okumuras deal
    with it. They always come in handy for
    something.

     One does not simply dirty his hands over
     a Byakko that urinates on possessions.

                                  Have fun.</sub>

       <sub>Shirosaki could have stayed. He could have
         been reasoned with. There could have been
         redemption of some kind perha–

                                           Oh—</sub>

                                      <sub>❝—?!❞ 

                            Nope. Chance forever blown.</sub>

    <sub>Aren’t they always. But then, wasn’t Pheles? Really?
     Demons, he often pondered, were all alike in that
     same respect; the constant pursuit of entertainment. 
     He could relate, as much as he didn’t wish to think of it 
     in such a way. 

     But trouble within the Exorcist school is — as always —
     unforgivable. Unless a reason is established, it goes 
     with punishment most often. Mephisto was juggling the
     Order as well as the school, and any trouble amiss 
     reflected on himself.</sub>

       _{❝I would advise it anywhere but here. 
          The school grounds are completely 
          off limits to one like yourself.❞  
 
     Yep. Definitely should have given this one to Okumura.}

             <sub>Sigh.

           Internally he debated whether he was worse than
           his younger brother. Because hell, that’d be a feat. 
           Of course, the school itself does come first.
           Shirosaki will have much to answer for. 

       ❝An explanation would be in
           accordance, don’t you agree?❞</sub>

        <sub>So perhaps he could be a little kinder. A little more softer on that
          face. That adorable, kawaii face belonging to a hellishly cute
          canine. And my, how he adored Japanese canines.

          But he was still not getting the dog treats. Nor was he being given
          a seat in the office. The individuals of True Cross would be
          outraged at seeing a puppy haunting their halls while attempting
          study.

          And Shiro was awfully talented at killing things accidentally — or
          rather, Mephisto often believed, intentionally. Lonely or not lonely,
          these creatures were precarious.</sub> 

         <sub>❝—It can’t be helped. Perhaps, I dare say,
           Okumura-san would graciously take you in
           instead.❞

          Bullshit. It could have been helped, if not for the fact Mephisto  
          was being his cruel self.</sub>

[ sentence meme ]

       <sub>How… distastefully wonderful. Somehow he imagined a
        Byakko would have fished out something a little more… 
        what’s the phrase?… exquisite, one could say, but then
        again here was a demon of limited intelligence. Alas, it
        was something at least.

         At least.</sub>
