How To Unsummon A Demon Prince 3

Chapter 3: Shopping

The sun rose above the horizon in the gentle comforting warmth of the morning. The birds perched on the tree branches sung songs of the day's glory while wild butterflies flutter playfully in the garden where myriads of flowers unfold their gorgeous petals to show case to the world. Ruby's eyes slowly opened due to the sun light passing through her window, rousing her from another wonderful dream with the prince whose face she can't remember. 

The witch sat up from her bed and checked the time from her bedside clock and saw that it was only 6:10 in the morning, still too early for her usual morning activities so she sank back down into the comforts of her soft mattress. Her mind slowly wandered to the things that she wanted to do for the day and how to complete her chores faster. The gentle cold of the atmosphere lulled her to slowly doze back to slumber until an arm wrapped around her waist making her eyes instantly open. She bolted upwards and pulled the wolf fur off of her body to see who was with her and saw the demon sleeping soundly by her side, casually hugging her waist. 

"Dyrroth, wake up! What the hell are you doing in my bed?! Are you trying to rape me or something?!" Ruby shook him by his shoulder trying to rouse him. 

"Shut up, little witch, it's still too early. It's so hot in my room while yours have air conditioning." the demon replied groggily. "Let's just sleep some more. You're quite soft and so fun to hug like a teddy bear. Do you know that you cuddled closer to me at four in the morning? However you're face was so annoying when you started mumbling about this Granger dude and horse rides..." Dyrroth trailed off burying his face closer to her waist. 

"Oh no you don't! You're gonna fetch water from the well while I prepare breakfast. Come on up!" Ruby pulled the comforter from the demon and placed it on a random chair. She grabbed him by his ankle and proceeded to pull him out of bed but the demon only stayed asleep while hugging her ice bear. 

It has been two weeks since Dyrroth crashed into her place and her life couldn't be more messy with his presence, literally. He doesn't clean after himself, he doesn't help with the household chores, he sometimes scared her customers inconveniencing her with more memory erasure spells to keep her business going and he only knows how to eat, sleep, slack around, and repeat. Ruby felt like she have another pet cat with Dyrroth's attitude and antics but this one is definitely not cute and not stress reliving like a real feline. He also eats voraciously putting a big hole into her wallet and never even doing the dishes once. 

Her research on how to break their bindings continued but none of the books she's read so far bore relevant information regarding the subject but she still have her hopes up. Her determination is relentless and her greatest motivation to succeed in her research is Dyrroth's awful personality. He's too narcissistic, egotistic, and rude that she wanted to kill him the minute that she sees his face, which is quite a lot since they live in a relatively small house. 

Oh, and he also started wearing her clothes. Of course not the tight dresses, which would have been very funny, but he chose to steal her loose neutral colored shirts and oversized dress shirts she used for sleeping as well as her sweat pants and her other pants that seem to fit him. The last draw was when he wore her purple Gothic dress as a joke and broke the back part. Ruby was so furious that she made him kneel over frozen peas with ten cement blocks weighing 50 kilos stacked over his lap under the burning sun at 50 degrees Celsius for five hours. 

After that incident Dyrroth started chopping the fire wood and somewhat cleaning his room in his own version of clean. Ruby, feeling a bit generous slash somewhat guilty, invited him in a small trip down town to shop for his own clothes which Dyrroth didn't refuse.
