chapter-9:

Say, don't demons stay in hell?

“Your wish is my… COMMAND!“

a figure suddenly lunges out from the shadows towards Mikoshi, as Mikoshi's eyes widen, seeing a sword flying towards her with the figure holding it.

Mikoshi spots a pipe at the corner of her eye and breaks it apart. She quickly uses it to defend herself against the mysterious being flying at her with a sword. 

“Ugh-!“

A pink horned girl with flowing pink hair slashes the pipe but doesn't slash Mikoshi. It's no one else other than Argine. With a devious smirk on her face.

Mikoshi steps back cautiously as a sweat drop slides down her face. 

Argine puts her arms up in a shrug as she looks down at Mikoshi, grinning

“Why so scared, blob fish?“

Mikoshi gasps, stunned. 

“blo-blob… BLOB FISH?!?!?!?“ She yells in exasperation

Argine tilts her head, confused. 

“Aren't you a blob fish species?“

Mikoshi shakes her head quickly and points at Argine.

“Excuse me?! No! Do you think someone with my face is a blob fish?!“

Argine stares at Mikoshi as she raises an eyebrow.

“Well, yeah?“

Suddenly, Mikoshi throws the broken parts of the pipe at Argine at full speed, and Argine, caught off-guard, gets scratched by one of them.

Mikoshi then yells, proudly. Putting her hand on her chest.

“I'll have you know, I'm a koi fish!“

Revaer runs over because of the sudden noise, and his eyes widen.

“Who are you?!“

Argine looks over at him and smirks, her tail swishing behind her.

“A new guest eh?“

Mikoshi gasps as she turns back quickly

“Revaer run!“

But she is too late… by the time she said that, Revaer as well as Argine had disappeared. Suddenly she spots them at the corner of her eye.

Mikoshi stunned as she sees Argine grabbing Revaer's rabbit ears and throwing him around easily.

“Hah! This grown up man is a little bunny?! That's hilarious!“ Argine laughs out loud, mocking him.

Revaer glares up at Argine.

“I'm better than one prudent demon!“ He yells out.

Argine glares down at him back. Her eye twitching.

“What did you say… you puny rabbit?“

Mikoshi rushes over and grabs Argine, in an attempt to pull her away.

Argine looks down at Mikoshi and easily flings her off, but her guard was let down for a second.

That single second gave Revaer the opportunity to escape and punch Argine as hard as he could in the face!

“Argh-” Argine stumbles back while holding her left cheek where she had gotten punched.

Argine then smirks as she stands up regaining her ground.

“Seems like you two want to play a bit, hm?“

Mikoshi grabs Revaer's hand quickly and pulls him back. She walks back cautiously and so does Revaer.

Argine walks closer like a predator approaching it's prey as her smirk turns into a wicked smile. 

Mikoshi then suddenly yells,as loud as she can.

“DO IT, AMAYKI!“

Suddenly a ball of water traps Argine and she gets caught off-guard. She can't escape. 

Amayki pants, Mivazi hiding behind Amayki looks up at Argine, terrified.

“How'd you know I was here…?“ Amayki looks at Mikoshi.

Mikoshi chuckles a slight smirk at the corner of her mouth.

“Let's call it… instinct.“

Amayki gulps as she holds the water ball in place, Argine's attempts to escape are futile. But she can breathe in it. 

“Is… is this a demon?“

Mikoshi nods, glaring at Argine.

“Sure is.“

Revaer takes Mivazi and holds her close as he groans, slightly in pain and Mivazi clutches onto him.

Mivazi looks at Argine, scared as she whispers.

“But… don't demons… stay in hell?“

To be continued.
