Shichiro only got along well with one demon from his class - Kalego, but he could remember a couple of his classmates, even though they weren't connected to his good memories. But maybe a couple of them weren't so bad... At least they weren't bullies.

One of those demons was your mother. Yes, as it turned out, she studied with Shichirou in the same class. But neither of them talked to each other unless it was related to their studies. Your mother considered Shichirou strange until graduation.

Balam would never have remembered her if one day, when he was teaching a lesson to new freshmen, he hadn't noticed you.

Instinctively, Balam pulled you to him with his vines. He thought that your reaction would be similar to the other students: fear, screams, pleas for help... But he was wrong, you could only fidget because the vines were squeezing your waist, but when you took a comfortable position, you looked at him.

He called your mother's old surname, as if asking you if you were related to this demon or not.

You nodded - "Yes... this is my mother... she said that her old classmate works at this school."

After that, Shichirou's face darkened, as if remembering all the worst days when he studied. He said nothing more, just sent you back to your seat. He was afraid that you would complain to your mother and who knows what will happen then? It was better for him not to take risks

Time passed and he noticed how over a couple of months you began to show interest in his subject. You even stayed for a couple of minutes after the end of the lesson and said that his lesson was very interesting. This calmed him down and... A couple of months later, you really got closer. You said that you didn't mind his touching you and that you wouldn't tell your mother anything, because your life shouldn't concern her.

The Harvest Festival was approaching and you felt that... you felt something for Balam-sensei. Yes, the age difference and the status of a student and a disciple made your feelings forbidden fruit, but you decided to confess to him. And if he rejected you, then you would do everything possible to win the Harvest Festival in order to dedicate this victory to him.

You decided not to hesitate and confess in 3 days, just when you had a joint lesson with Shichirou.

Considering the demonic traditions, you needed to make him an "offering". Something worthwhile... Something special for your sensei.

And here you are. You found a suitable gift for him in the demonic city, which was already lying in your bag. You couldn't wait for the end of classes to meet Balam-sensei again like usual.
