I scratched my head and took a sip of my lychee tea that I just bought. So many things happened these past few days and it can't be explained somehow.

For starters, me and Maou somehow can't meet each other. It's not like we wanted to. For some reason there's always something in the way. Like at Sunday when I was planning to have lunch at Mgronald's with Karuchi, all of the sudden Izzy called me saying that I need to come to the cafe right away and bring along Karuchi since she's with me.

When we both arrived at the cafe, our eyes went wide as our hearts dropped when we saw Izzy crying in front of her cafe that is guarded by four muscular men.

We immediately ran towards her after that. I glared the men that are somewhat guarding the cafe from Izzy and the other employees that are standing in front of the cafe with a distressed face on while I rubbed Izzy's back softly.

When I asked them what are they doing in front of the cafe, they simply said that they have been ordered to keep out anyone who is trying to get inside the cafe by their boss. After forcing them to take me to their boss, they finally agreed when I told them that I'm gonna break all of their bones with my bare hands if they don't bring me to their boss immediately.

Their boss is an arrogant and cocky man that has bags under his eyes. Despite being more than about 30 years old, he's acting like a teenage brat. He claimed that he's the new owner of the building since the old woman that used to be the owner is moving outside of the country now. He wants to close Izzy's cafe and replace it with a night bar. Even though we tried to reasoned with him, he stood on his ground with his head as hard as a stone.

I almost hit him with a nearby table that is made out of hardwood if it weren't for Karuchi and some employees holding me back. Why did I want to hit him? Well what would you do when a random dude says this about your best friend's cafe :

"besides, this cafe is junk. Nobody likes it. It has no taste and it's really not worth having it here. The foods here are disgusting anyway"

Yeah, it would be so nice to high five his face with a granade, am I right?

However, I couldn't help myself on punching his face hard enough to make him fall back and hit the wall with his nose bleeding. I have a pretty good reason for that too. He said "Ichi, was it? Or is it Ivy? Whatever. You couldn't even handle the cafe. I mean, the only entertainment beside a small tv is a live stage performance by a barbaric singer like her?! I doubt she even know how to sing properly"

It really feels good punching him. He was about to yell at me before I glared at him sharply while letting out a low growl. According to Karuchi, my face was pretty murderous when I did that.

As if the punch wasn't enough, he shove us out of the building and exclaimed that he will call the police if we try to get in again.

After comforting Izzy, we decided to go to Mgronald's to get some food to munch on. We also want to tell Maou and Chiho about what just happened.

Weirdly, Chiho is there but Maou isn't. Chiho informed us that he got sick this morning and decided to get a day off. She's not sure what sickness has struct the demon but we're pretty sure it's quite serious since he chose to stay at home instead of going to work like he always do.

So, we decided to visit the devil's castle right after Chiho's shift ended. As if what happened that day wasn't strange enough, we somehow got lost on the way to Maou's place. I know. So weird, right?

We didn't even remember how we got lost. We just somehow ended up near Emi's neighborhood.

Since it was getting late, we decided to head back to our home and go to Maou's place tomorrow. But when I woke up the next day, I was greeted with a thunderstorm and a heavy rain. The storm didn't stop until it's midnight so I was stuck at home that day. I know, right? Suck. It's a good thing I have a lot of movies in my laptop and two bowl full of popcorns and chips to accompany me.

Yesterday is the worst one though. I went outside to buy some groceries and I planned to went to the demon's castle after that. But right when I'm just a few steps away from Maou's place, Chiho called me saying Maou is already back to work. Not feeling up to another quarrel with lucifer, I sighed and went to Mgronald's. I'm starving and a big mig sounds really good to me.

Thanks to the busy traffic, I arrived there one hour later. Only to find out that Maou just went home. Not wanting to go through the damn traffic all over again, I ordered a big mig, ate it, and went straight home. Just when I was a few blocks away, the plastic that contains my groceries got ripped when a stray dog bite it. Probably because of the smell of the sausage I bought.

After 30 minutes of gathering the fallen groceries and getting back a pack of meat from the stray dog (I have to secretly growl to him so he let it go) and went home. After putting the groceries to their place and fell face first to my bed, I checked my phone only to find out that there's 50 missed calls from Maou and 47 texts from him saying that he went to my house right after work but I wasn't there so he waited for at least two hours until he finally decided to went back home and ask me if he could see me tomorrow.

Sheesh, if only my grocery bag didn't get 'attacked', I would've been able to meet him. I texted Maou, telling him to meet me to near Mgronald's after his shift tomorrow.

There's something keeping me away from Maou and I don't know what it is. But I'm going to find it out sooner or later.

Sighing, I checked the time and realize that Maou's shift is almost finished. After drinking the rest of my tea, I went outside of the small coffee shop and wait for maou near Mgronald's.

Shinjuku station isn't so crowded today which is rare. Opening a candy wrapper that I brought from home and ate the milk flavored candy, I scroll down through my phone, answering some texts from Izzy and Karuchi who's asking where am I and telling me that they're currently taking a small trip to go clothes shopping at Tokyo.

I almost snorted loudly when Izzy sent me a photo of her posing like a diva with a neon pink colored jacket, a pair of ripped jeans, a bright yellow t-shirt saying 'give me pizza or I'll kill your cat' and a black high heel wrapping her feet. Karuchi is looking at her weirdly at the background.

"seems like you're having a good time, dear" a voice said. A voice I swore to never hear again. A voice I hated all these years

"what are you doing here? I thought you're supposed to be with your demon husband, who was he again? Oh right his name is assface" I snarled

"his name is Arthas, honey and last time I checked, I'm free to see you anytime I want"

"that doesn't mean I want to see you, you poisonous snake" I growled, looking at her dead in the eyes

"oh, darling... That's not how you call the one who gave you birth, isn't it? Didn't your father told you to be polite?" she snickers

" not to a woman like you" I growled again

"let's get straight to the point. What do you want?" I asked, annoyed with her presence

" now now.. No need to rush things... Don't you miss me?" she smirks

"what. Do. You. Want. Woman" I growled deeply

She seemed taken aback with my tone and her face darkens before she spoke in Ente Islan language "I want to take you back with me to Ente Isla"
