The new quest (The Devil is a part timer)

Chapter 6

Her eyes snapped open and drifted trough the air she found herself unable to move pressed down from an unknown source. Her head lifted upwards she found the sleeping King of Demons laying on her belly leaned forward in a chair by her side. Emilia felt the heat rising to her cheeks as she realised who exactly was there. >>Do not move or your wounds will open again.<< a unfamiliar deep voice rang through the air making her head snap in that same direction where she saw the Demon she fought with just... >>How long was I out for?<< she asked him with sore voice. >>Five days.<< answered another voice not belonging to the Demon but to Satan in the same moment the weight was lifted from her belly and a hand supported her back as he pulled her upwards. A sly smile playing on his lips. >>Welcome back to the living.<< he said trying to sound cheerfull but the lack of sleep was still present in his voice. >>He watched you without rest. Better be grateful to his highness woman.<< The Demon spoke again. >>Shut up, Corazon!<< Satan exclaimed pink colour faintly dusting his cheeks but disappeared within the next second. >>I see...<< Emi couldn't see his faint blush trough her blurred vision but she felt relief wash over her as she noticed that Satan Jacob her archnemesis she thought lost was safe and well back home in Ente Isla.
Emilia blinked a few times in hope to see clearer. His eyes where as red as ever under his right eye you could see a faint circled scar, his black long hair laied loosely on his shoulders over the blue scarf he had wrapped around his neck. Under the scarf was a black shirt the trouser part he wore was ripped and torn. His clothing didn't seem dirty but clean and fresh. His gaze followed her eyes as they traveled over him and couldn't help but smirk at her. >>Like what you see?<< he asked earning a smack at his head from her a serious blush covered her face >>Ow that hurt!<< he cried out. Corazon watched as the argument between Hero and Overlord unfold before him. Then a few seconds passed and a knock at the door broke it after all. Another woman entered the room her figure was close to the former landlady the Lord has known.
>>Ah Lady Justina you are finally awake. I have brought lunch for the swordsman but I will come with a second tray if you feel hungry.<< she smiled at the woman laying in the bed. >>N-n...<< she tried to protest but was interrupted from the growl of her stomach.

Satan couldn't help but laugh and dodged the hand that slapped at him. >>To slow Hero!<< he mocked her and stuck his tounge out before he turnd to the woman and took the tray. >>Thank you for the food... but I don't feel hungry so Emi will eat this in my stead if this is alright with you Ma'am.<< he bowed slightly making the Demon at the other side of the room gasp im shock before he jumped to his feet making the room shake as he breathed in and began to cry out >>Your demonic highness! You mustn't lower yourself to such a standard as to bow to a simple human! Please reconsider immediatly!<< the woman looked at the Demon and let out a scream as she processed what the Demon just had screamed. >>Shut it Corazon!<< the Demon Lord screamed startled by the outburst of his loyal subject. He gulped and an uneasy eye found the frightened woman just blankly staring at him. >>I am so sorry. This Demon still considers his Master as a Demon himself.<< Emi stepped in smiling sweetly at the woman. >>Is that so?<< the woman asked. >>Of course. Please do not bother.<< she said still smiling. >>Then I will return downstairs. Please do feel free to call for us whenever you may need us.<< the woman said bowing and leaving in a rush. >>That was a close one Emi... Thank you.<< the Demon Lord sighed and glared at Corazon who hasn't moved an inch. >>Corazon!<< Satan glowered angered by it black aura radiatimg of him but the Demon seemed not to mind much and just crossed his arms trough him shivering. >>I have endured this long enough my League! But lowering your head to a human or other Demon is... disgraceful for our fearless leader to do!<< he glowered. Satan blinked black aura disappearing in an instant and instead there was a loud sigh as he gave Emilia the tray of food. >>Enjoy.<< he smiled in his practiced business smile and sat back in the chair throwing over the mantle that was laying ofer the back.
Emilia looked at the tasty food and dug into it with hunger.
