Two things or worth in this chapter (well maybe 3)
1) Okay, so literally everyone: “That Dariel guy is really useful. We should be more appreciative of him and make the most of him.”
Idiot: “I’ma kick him out”
2) Okay, what did Marika do to him? Is she secretly a succubus?
To a lesser extent 3) Honestly (and every kid knows this) whenever a parent calls you up and brings up a specific topic (especially something they TOLD you to do), you know they already have the full story and you’re in deep shit.
