The demon hunt

Kyaru just left the witch school and is now standing on a wide field close to the school, waiting for Moyu, who wanted to be his hunting partner.
It's just a dark wasteland. Besides a few burnt down tree stumps, this area is completely empty.
The demon hunt can begin soon.
Kyaru is ready.

Suddenly everything gets dark and foggy.
Could this be a dangerous demon?

Then the dark fog disappears and Moyu is standing in front of him.

Oh, where did you come from?

See? I already have my demon under control.

Where is he?

A good witch never lets other people see their demons, right?

Yeah, of course!
But how were you able to get your demon to listen to you in such a short time?

You know, I have a cute body...

Oh, you're always pragmatic about everything.

Yeah. Interests like these are just the easiest to fulfill.
I'm glad I got a demon like him. You can never be sure about that.

As a man I won't be able to fulfill such needs.

Yeah, what a pity.

No, I'm thankful.
This way I don't have to resist the temptation to go the easy way like you.
And if everything goes well, this will cause our bond to be stronger.

One might think, female demons they would be into such a strong, muscular guy like you.
But once they have power themselves, they don't really care about that.

You're right. Most female demons have other priorities.
But I don't want a female demon anyway.

Why not? Female demons are just as strong as male demons.
The physical strength doesn't matter.

I know.
But male demons are generally much more loyal.
And their needs are much easier to fulfill.

Yeah, it's probably still better to have a male demon, even for you.

So, are you ready for the hunt?

Sure, let's go!

In the meantime, Tayo and Yoru are doing their last hunting preperations, too.

In the hunting club, they are getting ready for their first demon hunt. They check their equipment and make sure they didn't forget anything important.

Do you think we're really prepared for this?
I mean, we've trained hard, but I can't believe we'll really be outside soon, hunting a real demon.

Don't worry.
We might not be the best demon hunters, but when I want something, I usually get it.
We just have to take our time, and eventually we'll both have a demon.

Yeah, you're right. I can't give up already. Let's just do our best.

Yoru is even more nervous than Tayo.
If they encounter a strong demon, this can be very dangerous.
Maybe one or both of them might end up dead.
She still tries to stay calm and focused.

So when everything is ready, they leave the hunting club together.
Next they'll leave the witch school, then the school area, and then they'll be searching for a demon already.

We have to work together. Don't forget!
Stay focused and calm, and everything will work out well.

Tayo nods. Then Yoru speeds up and Tayo follows her outside.

Ryuka is sitting in her room right now, having conversations with her demon again.

I'm glad you show me around so much.
It's good to know more about this place.

I'm glad I don't have to do anything too fancy to please you, Karyu.

Karyu doesn't mind not getting called by her actual name anymore.
She accepted that she won't change her mind and plays along as good as she can.

Yeah, I still don't trust you, but as long as we still have some kinky nights together, I'm fine for now.
First I thought you weren't into that. But you seem to have fun, too.

If it helps you to trust me more, I'll definitely do it.
What we're doing is still not as bad as the things Moyu and her Super-Moyu were doing.
I actually started to like our nights.

Karyu is happy.

I'm glad I can show you around. It's a good excuse to leave when Moyu trains her demon, so I don't have to watch them.

Yeah, going to the library is always fun. There I still learn a lot about magic even I didn't know yet.

Yeah, I'm also surprised how much I don't know yet.
But there's a lot I probably don't need to know, since you're doing the magic for me.

Yeah...

Suddenly somebody knocks at the door.
Ryuka upens. It's Roya.

Oh, Moyu isn't here?

No, she's hunting demons. What's the matter?

Oh, I just wanted to talk to her about the way I train my demon.

Maybe I can help you as well.
But you don't even have your demon with you, do you?

No, he's with me. Don't you notice him?

He's hiding behind the door.
Not a good place to hide.

He appears from behind the door.
He looks like a young boy who just got caught doing something wrong.
And he's still completely naked.

Oh, there he is. Thanks Karyu!
The place was good enough to hide from me.
I really didn't see him at first.
But don't you want to dress him?

He has been naked, so I'll just let him stay like this.
He seems to like it.
And normally nobody is supposed to see him anyway.

Yeah, good point.
I'm not sure if I'm really helpful to you.

Yeah, I really like her.
But she still doesn't notice that I'm not a demon.
Maybe I'd be better to teach him.

Ryuka is annoyed, but doesn't say anything.

Yeah, she talks pretty well. Maybe she really isn't a demon.

Nah, she just talks this way, hoping I would fall for it one day. I'll just ignore this.

Oh, I would probably have fallen for it already.

So do you want to come in now?

Oh, sure. Let's just spend some time with our demons alone.

The witch girls giggle as Roya enters the door.

Both Kyaru and Moyu are standing on the battlefield, each of them in torn clothes, holding a defeated demon in their hands.
The demons are still struggling, but they are unable to use their magic anymore.

I can't believe both of us got a demon each.
I wonder if they have been siblings.

Who cares?
The only thing that matters is that we got them.
It's really nice that I got a second one.

It is!
But only thanks to you we were able to get to this place.
Without your demon, we wouldn't even have been able to get so far away from the school, so we wouldn't have found such powerful demons.
And we also wouldn't have been able to defeat both of them.

Yeah, of course Super-Moyu is super helpful for this.

I'm still can't believe that you can already control him so well.

Moyu nods proudly.

And I already know how to call my new demon.

Like I know you it would be Ultra-Moyu.
Would just be fitting for your second demon.

Nah, she will be called Sub-Moyu of course.
She's just a female demon! Don't you see?

But you're only a witch.
She's at least a demon.
Maybe you're the one who should be called Sub-Moyu.

People already know me as Moyu, so this will be confusing.
But you still got a point.
Then she'll be Hag-Moyu.

Should I really ask, why?

Because she's a female demon of course.
And not really a good looking one.
And before you say anything, I know you could call me Hag-Moyu, too.

And why not just use the intended name this time?

Yumo?
That's kind of boring. That doesn't even have a proper meaning.
So I guess you'll just call him Rukya?

No, his name will be Ruaky.

Of course your name has three syllables...

Meanwhile, Yoru and Tayo are also returning from their hunt, completely exhausted. They almost can't walk anymore.
Together they have a demon with them.
The cute boy could still get away from them.
He seems as if he only stays with them out of pity.

I can't believe we really caught one!
If I knew it was that difficult, I wouldn't have believed we'd actually get one.

I knew it would be difficult. I'm also surprised.
Working together was a good idea.
We really managed to help each other out, didn't we?

Yeah, kind of.

Sadly we could only capture a single demon boy.

Yeah...
I guess you want him?

No, I think you should take him.

What? Really? Why me?

I already expected that I wouldn't get my own demon.
It's okay.

You're really fine with that?

Sure. I know this will really make you happy.
If I took him for myself, I couldn't really be happy about him.

Yoru gives Tayo a hug and even kisses his cheek.
It's a little awkward.

After that, they don't say anything for a while as they continue walking.

Oh, but I'll call him Yota, so we'll always remember that you helped me catching him.

Tayo sighs.

This just seals it. I'll never get a demon.

Why do you say this now?

How would I call my demon if you already call him Yota?

Oh, I'm sorry about that. I didn't think about it.
His name will be Ruyo. I'm sure you'll get your own demon one day. Your own Yota.

No, it's okay. I probably won't get a demon anyway.

It's already decided. He'll be called Ruyo!

Yoru wants to put her arm around Ruyo, but as she looks around he's gone.

Uhm...

Tayo also notices it.

Oh, fuck!
