"AH JEEZ MARIE" Gluttony shouted loud and pressed his hands on where the plate got smashed on.
"I told you many times not to joke like that so be silent now. Would you like to eat egg with potato in its son?" Malum nod quickly and Marie smiled.
Malum just sat at one of the chairs from the dinner table. Malum glared at Gluttony if his glare could make a hole, he would have made a big one in Gluttony head already as the amount he was a bit too much. Gluttony was just ignoring his glare he couldn't bother with it to the slightest and just looked uninterested at the windows from the house. The breakfast was quite Marie noticed how much her son was glaring at Gluttony that she found it just funny by now.
When Malum finished his breakfast and wanted to put his table on the sink Marie grabbed it before and was the one putting it in the sink. Malum could tell that his mother wanted to say something as she would force Malum to put his own plate in the sink.
"So, son let me ask you why you don't want any power. I never bothered you about these things, but I thought I should ask it now hearing that you said that you don't Gluttony".
Malum sighed he scratched his head
"It is just I don' trust him no matter what anyone says I don't believe his story. Who would believe he does that all so his pride isn't hurt and even though there is afterlife after death nothing says that dad would even know what is happening here with us that is also a reason why I don't trust that thing I mean having powers is nice but who knows what he will want from me"
Malum said his honest thoughts there was nothing to hide. Marie was looking at her son she saw how serious he was and the worries that he felt were normal a thing suddenly appears and tells him he became its master but only follows so its pride doesn't get hurt sounds unreasonable.
"Good that answer is good enough for me" She stood up from the chair
"I can't help you anymore Gluttony as I don't want to force my son into things he doesn't want to do"
Marie just went to work than leaving the two and with Malum going to school ten minutes later. Gluttony tried to be calm he stayed at home as he could always appear beside Malum
`Don't panic he will surely use you in just some months and even if he is right about me not doing that because of my pride being hurt´ Gluttony had a smirk on its face.
`Who cares about pride when the important thing is having an easy life. While the death of that man did annoy me that he would ask me that to do before he died it is still a benefit for me I know how unlucky he was while we traveled around and him doing missions while feeding me so it shouldn't take long till something happens to his son and he needs my help´
It convinced itself that it would happen just how it imagined it and that it would be impossible for Malum not to say Gluttony.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
`HE STILL HASN'T USED ME` Gluttony was now in panic.
It been more than 7 months since the bet and Malum would have only to endure around 2 months and he would win the bet. There was just nothing that had happened to threaten him or anyone close to him which annoyed Gluttony only more.
`I still have some time he will also go now to that military camp today. Maybe he will use me there finally´
It looked at Malum who was sitting at the back of the bus alone not many were inside of it just around twelve students. His two friends were inside while all the other ones were from different classes which Malum had not even once visited.
`He does not even flinch at anything like before he acts like everything is normal even me using his soul like a bed did shock him multiple times but either way, he did not ask me anything at all I thought I could act all proud and mighty while he asks me for the things, he is interested in me but none just NONE of them happened´
Gluttony was right now in Malum soul but while being there he can leave it and look around. No one would be able to sense Gluttony as there is nothing to sense from it. `Maybe I should pull some strings that will put him into trouble that way he would be forced to use me if I make it a big problem. It had just to come up with an idea what kind of problem he should get Malum in without killing him accidentally.
"Ok everyone goes out the bus now we are here" The driver said.
`So fast!?"
They were riding the bus for multiple hours Gluttony was just too much focused the entire time to think of a way to bring trouble to Malum. He went out to the bus and Ira just ran to the school with all the other students doing the same.
"Why don't you go to the school" Gluttony made itself noticeable for Malum so he could see and hear him.
"Gluttony I accept you"
"Huh why the hell do you say that now out of the blue.
