9:00

...

My morning started by snoozing on Enmu's offer to get up from the couch after our night together.

...

Okay maybe a few times...~

...

"Awe come on dear, I always have the best intentions for you in the morning, so I'm here to make your day~" Enmu's voice chirped in my ear as he stood beside the couch and constantly pestered me, trying to get me out of bed.

"Mgh. Enmu... I don't want to. It's really cozy here... And it's not like there's much to do right now anyway, so leave me alone..." I groaned as I wrapped a blanket around my head and fell flat on a pillow, dying from boredom.

"I know that lately instead of waiting for the sun to disappear you slumber through the mornings and usually wake up around midday whenever you end up sleeping... But I've prepared some tea for you this time~ Care to try it out?~"

"Tsk... Fine.. But with dreams like mine can you blame me for sleeping instead of staying awake? We're demons after all, we can't do shit during the day rather than spend time at home or hide from the sun..."

"Dreams you say? Well, that's understandable my dear, but I'm not here for nothing am I? I'll let you spectate a lovely dream later on, but just for today, would you mind staying up and spending some time with me..?" Enmu pleaded, giving me his wide eyes that he knew I had a hard time resisting.

"Yeah yeah."

Enmu's aftercare was surely sweet... But it could get a bit persistent at times.

I lifted myself up, scratching the back of my head as my fingers intertwined in my messed up hair. The first few hours of the morning are always so disgusting to me, especially after a tiring night like ours... I looked like a horrible mess after our evening together and really felt like a pile of rotten flesh as I sat up straight and watched Enmu carefully bring up the tea on a small Japanese tray and make himself comfortable by my side, wrapping his arm around me. I really felt uneasy looking like crap next to him in the mornings... He was wearing a snow-white yukata, had his hair tidied and smelling like lilac, while I silently sat like a mouse and emptily stared into nothing. I held the wooden cup in my hands and sipped the transparent green liquid, letting the flavour of herbal tea leave a sweet aftertaste on my tongue as I swallowed the warming drink, staring out of the window near the kitchen.

...

The view from my house is always extremely fascinating, even when the sun is shining. The trees surrounding it from both sides led down to an incredible city of Tokyo below, where the houses bathed in the sunbeams and rippled like morning dewdrops. I admit, as a demon I hate the sun, but I don't deny that sometimes it truly brings pureness and beauty to this world, it makes it look somewhat relaxing and calming, setting such a warm, nostalgic atmosphere from my past human life.

...

I miss those times... Back when everything seemed so... different. It pains and satisfies me just by thinking of my previous life, before I became who I am now and found the one I mindlessly love and cherish. I went through a lot of changes, some were memorable and pleasant and some were saddening and regretful. But I was happy living how I was, even if I went through unhealthy states of mind, or miserably silly behavior, I enjoyed it when it lasted.

...

"Enmu"

"Mm?~"

"Thank you for the tea...~" I muttered, taking his hand in mine and gently rubbing it with my warm fingers.

"You're always welcome~ I'm glad you liked it~"

"Mhm...~ Alright then, I'll go dress and make myself look somewhat appealing now, I have some plans for today..~" I said, slipping out of Enmu's embrace and heading to the armoire, grabbing some fresh clothing.

"Oh? What is it that you've planned for this day?~" He questioned, sitting up on the couch before taking the two cups back to the kitchen.

"I have to clean the house up and meet Daki in the evening~ We've arranged a wonderful spa session together...~" I answered, twirling into the bathroom and sliding the shoji door shut.

I dropped my thin kimono robe off my shoulders and bared my skin in front of my own reflection, unfolding my light yukata, colored in pale grey. After I pulled my clothing on and securely tied the belt on my waist, I took a metallic comb into my hands and began brushing out my hair. I slipped it through my messy locks and weaved my hands, slowly separating each strand and carefully running the comb through my hair, straightening it out and styling it as usual, tucking the remaining part behind my ear. I examined my outfit once more before opening the door back, finding Enmu washing up near the kitchen sink. I was so honored seeing him helping me bring the house to a better state to the point where I felt my heart slightly tingle on the inside as he warmly smiled at me.

"Alright then... I'll start with the floor..." I sighed, heading over to get some cloths.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~Time skip~~~~~~~~~~~~

Sunset.

...

"Enmu! I'm heading out now, I'll be back late and I'll finish sorting out clothing once I return" I informed him, calling out from the hallway while slipping my shoes on.

"Sure thing, I'm on a mission as well" His voice rang out from the bathroom.

I wished him luck as I took a step out to my porch and slid the door closed behind me, looking up at the sky just before I got teleported into the infinity fortress, facing a large temple with Daki right next to me.

...

"My my~ Good evening ladies~ Come in~" Douma welcomed us with his arms out, letting us through the doorway and leading us straight into his private bathing house.
