I'm glad to see there's at least a few people out there still interested in this story. I still don't own Devil is a Part Timer, but at least I own Mayumi and her soon to be interesting life. Enjoy! :)

-:- Chapter Three: Return of the Jed- um, Hero -:-

The quiet groan of the stairs snapped Mayumi's attention away from her letter document, interrupting her feverish attempts to make up for the past several days that she had been… indisposed. The quiet murmur of conversation from above meant that yes, her neighbors were both in. So who was this? And so late at night?

"Emillia the Hero?!"

And there went her peaceful night, if the previous visit by "the Hero" was any indication. Ashiya really took the whole D&D thing to the extreme. That and his motherhenning.

"-King of darkness! You cannot simply party the night away with some fuscia haired floozy!"

And yes, there it is, ladies and gentlemen, Ashiya in loyal demon servant mother hen mode.

"Know that I shan't let my guard down!" The whole neighborhood knows, Ashiya. Wait… fuschia haired…?

"So none of your funny business!"

No way. Obsessive Stalker is the hero? She has to be, there is no way that many women have hair that color. So all that time… Thank you whatever deity is watching over me. But eesh, crazy ex girlfriend, anyone?

With an eyeroll Mayumi returned to her labours as blessed silence settled over the building. Before her progress had been stilted and forced. Now inspiration flowed like rapids in a river, the final lingering worry banished from her heart. Yes, now she could write that epic lightcleaver battle she had been planning!
