How To Unsummon A Demon Prince 2

Chapter 2: Tenant, Crush, Friend

"I'm going to live here with you." Dyrroth declared as he sat opposite of her on the breakfast table. 

The demon had suddenly popped back in after three days at four in the morning. He caused quite a ruckus downstairs that Ruby thought that he was a thief, so she went down only in her lavender slip with black laces and nearly sliced him with her scythe but he blocked the blade with his bear hand while eating a leftover sandwich, unfazed by her sudden attack. 

"I thought that you're never going to come near me again and what happened to your quest? I thought that you were going to the Abyss." Ruby questioned looking at him with distaste while crossing her arms. 

"I didn't really want to but every time I try to leave this territory I always feel a strong force pulling me back. Yesterday I was sleep flying and I was heading back here so I guessed that because you summoned me something must be anchoring me back to you. You are also responsible if I somehow cause a big mess since you were the one that summoned me so you don't really have a choice in this." Dyrroth reasoned making the witch scoff. 

"Fine. You can stay but only until I figure out a way to unbound us." 

"Great, now where's my room?" 

"You can stay in the guest room for a while, I guess. Just keep it clean and don't make too much noise." Ruby ordered setting the ground rules. 

"But you don't even have neighbors, the nearest village was a ten minute flight or with your short legs about one hour." reasoned the demon. 

"It was only a 25 minute walk actually and I'm going back to bed. It's five in the fucking morning. Go to sleep or whatever but just keep it quite." Ruby left the demon to his own devices and returned back to her room to continue with her much needed sleep. 

"Nothing left to do but dream." The witch tucked herself in her white wolf fur comforter and hugged her ice bear stuffed toy to her chest. A soft smile graced her pink lips as she enjoyed the comforts of her quite life. 

"Little witch! Little fat witch! Little witch!" Dyrroth called knocking relentlessly on her door. Ruby's eyes opened and she frowned wanting to murder someone. She instantly got out of bed and stormed to open her door. 

"What the hell do you want?!" she screamed at the demon while a purple fire went up her head, literally. 

"Wow, you're not flammable. Anyways, I just want to tell you that there's a man wearing black knocking outside your door. I don't like his face so can you get rid of him immediately." Dyrroth informed. A slap suddenly collided with his face leaving him dumbfounded. "What the hell was that for?!" 

"If you ever call me fat again I'm going to destroy you. Remember that you are under my roof and I'm feeding you from my hard earned labor so if you don't want to live in the woods, you better watch your mouth about calling me fat." Ruby threatened in a low terrifying tone. 

"Fine, I guess you're just a plus size." Dyrroth concluded before entering the room opposite of Ruby's. 

Ruby immediately went downstairs to check out who the demon was referring to. This one must be a really desperate customer to be going in the woods this early. What horrible story could he possibly have to brave the dangers of the forest? Ruby opened the door only to reveal a tall man wearing a black coat carrying a gun and a violin case. The witch's eyes widen due to her unexpected visitor but she immediately composed herself and gave him a sweet smile. 

"Good morning, Granger. How may I help you?" Granger is a well known marksman and an incredible demon hunter, if he went all the way here then he must be after Dyrroth. Ruby cursed the demon for not making sure to cover his trail. How reckless can he be to allow himself to be be spotted by a demon hunter heading to the forest? If bad comes to worse she'll get involved in all of this and she might even be forced to hurt Granger, which is such a shame since he's one of the few people that Ruby can tolerate.
