Chapter Twenty: Stupid in Love:
The doorbell rang again.
“Who is it now?” Mike asked.
“I'll get it,” Hotaru said. She got up and walked over
to the door.
“Who is it?” she asked, looking out the peep hole. A
man in a black sweater and jeans stood outside. Hotaru grinned as
she opened the door.
“Oh! Welcome Sota-san!” she said. Kazue jerked her head
upwards. The new guest walked into the house. Kazue's face turned
bright red.
“Hello,” Sota said with a little wave. Kazue tried not
to make eye contact. Hotaru had to choke back her giggling.
“Introduce yourself,” she said instead. “Your
name and a fun fact about yourself.”
“What?” Sota asked. All eyes fell on him. Kazue tried
to turn her head but couldn't look away.
“Wow,” was all Sota could say. “Uh… My name
is Sota and I like to garden.” Kazue just stared at him.
“Oh interesting,” Hotaru said. “Please have a
drink. Enjoy yourself.” She smiled and winked before walking
away.
“Okay then…” Sota mumbled. He turned to see Kazue
to his left.
“Hello, Kazue-san,” he said. She didn't speak as her
face turned redder. Meanwhile, Hotaru smirked to herself as she
walked to the kitchen. Mike followed behind.

“Hotaru!” he said. The loli demon turned around.
“Hm?” she asked.
“What was that?” Mike asked. Hotaru batted her
eyelashes at him.
“I don't know what you are talking about,” she lied.
The other demon frowned.
“Don't lie,” he said. “What are you cooking up
now?” Hotaru kind of smiled.
“Oh,” she said. “Just playing cupid.
Again.” Mike groaned.
“Are you serious?” he asked. Hotaru gave him a little
pout.
“Why is that a bad thing?” she asked. Mike rolled his
eyes.
“Hotaru!” he complained. She giggled and walked up to
him. He raised his eyebrow at her.
“What?” the American demon asked.
“Oh, Mikey,” she said. “Don't you
know?”
“Know what?” her roommate asked. She put her arm around
his shoulders.
“It's Halloween,” the loli demon said. “Anything
can happen. Magic can be in the air. Even love can happen!”
Mike rolled his eyes. Hotaru patted him on the back.
“Come on,” she said. “Live a little!”
Hotaru walked back to the doorway.
“We are just getting into the party after all,” she
said. The loli demon disappeared into the living room. Mike stood
there, blinking.
“Huh?” was all he could ask. He could hear the music
and chatter from the living room.
