''I Hate You''

It was a normal day in Tokyo Japan. Maou working in Mg Ronald, Emi working at the call center. Everything when back to normal after every problem and every enemy was defeated. No more crazy angels, no more crazy demons, and no more crazy humans. Everyone was enjoying a peaceful and busy life. The relationship between Emi and Maou (and the rest of the gang) was much better, but now and then there was still some tiny and normal conflict.

On a weekend, Emi had the day off from work and she was enjoying her day with the precious Alas=Ramus. As the day was progressing, she was thinking to herself, since everything was over and somehow she settled things with the Demon King (the fact he invaded Ente Isla, etc, etc), she had the freedom to do whatever she wanted to do. She was wondering, now that everything was over, what was the most thing she desired the most. Of course, she wanted to spend the rest of her life with Alas=Ramus, but other than that, what else?

''Ne Alas=Ramus''

''Yes, Mama?''

''What do you think about going back to Ente Isla and live there?''

''Hmmm, Papa come too?''

''I don't think Papa can come with us''

''No Papa? I'll miss Papa! Why no Papa?''

''Papa has to say here, because of work and he is with Ashiya, Lucifer and Acies=Ara too. He has to look out for them like I need to look out for you.

Emi picks up Alas=Ramus and hugs her

''I love you so much Alas=Ramus''

''I love you too Mama'' Alas Ramus told Emi with a sweet and tender voice.

On the same day, in the Demons Castle... Maou was just taking his day off too, just relaxing and reading a magazine, Urushihara just navigating thru the web, Ashiya doing the dishes and Acies=Ara was just eating food that Suzuno had left and prepared, at the same time, she was all over the place, but everyone by now was already used to this behavior of hers so nobody really cared at all. A really peaceful and normal day for the gang.

After several days, out of nowhere, Maou receives a call for Emi...

''Oh Emi, What's up?''

''Hey, so the thing is... ''

''Yes? Is everything ok Emi? What's wrong?''

''Nothing (cough cough) Alas=Ramus wants to see you, you think we can meet at the park where she likes to go?''

''Sure thing, how about tomorrow? I got the day off''

''Sounds good, I'm free too. See ya tomorrow then'' Beep beep beep

''Well, looks like I'm going to play with Alas=Ramus tomorrow, I'd better prepare some lunch for her''

''Allow me to assist you on that Demon King'' Suzuno, at that moment, she was in the same room cooking some meals for everyone, herd about Maou's plans for tomorrow with his daughter.

The next day, at Alas=Ramus's favorite park...

''Papa! Over here!'' The young girl shouted with excitement

''Oh hey, Alas=Ramus!'' Maou hugs Alas=Ramus.

''Papa Papa! Let's go play!''

''Sure sure! Acies=Ara, you can come out''

Zuum! After a very glowy light had appeared, Acies=Ara materialized

''Yei! Necha!''

''Hi there Big Sister! Wanna play?''

''Yes! Papa and Necha! You too, Mama! Everyone together! ''

Everyone was having a great time at the park.

''Alright then, who wants some lunch?''

''Me!'' The two sisters responded with incredible sync.

''I brought some lunch for you too Emi'' Emi had a mini blush on her face after knowing that Maou had brought her lunch, even though it was made by Suzuno, she was grateful at some degree.

After eating, the two sisters went to play a bit more before leaving, Emi and Maou were just sitting on a bench, watching out for the two young girls.

''Hey Maou, I need to tell you something'' With a timid and fragile tone, Emi was about to tell Maou something she had on her mind for days.

''Oh, what's up?''

''I'm thinking very seriously of going back to Ente Isla''

''Wait... what? Why? When?'' Maou was really startled for some reason.

''Since I don't really have a real motive to stay here in Japan, I want to go back, be close to my mom and dad, and growing and watching the wheat of the fields of my father.''

''Oh, I see'' Maou with a sad and confused voice. He was also a bit frustrated since he couldn't think of something to tell her and try to make her stay. As of last resort, Maou asks about her things in life here in Japan.

''What about your job? What about Chiho, Rika, Suzuno? What about Alas=Ramus? ''

Emi sighs before responding...

''What about me?'' Maou only thought about that, not having enough courage to tell her directly

''Look, the only reason I'm telling you this is because of Alas=Ramus. I know she cares about you (as I do... Emi thought to herself, not daring to tell Maou how she felt about that matter either). She will come with me but I'll come back now and then, but it won't be as often as she would want to, opening the gate can bring misbalance to Japan and it could be dangerous for the people living here''

''Wow, ok, this is so sudden'' Maou still couldn't believe Emi's wishes of moving back on Ente Isla.

''So when would you leave Japan?''

''Well, I still need to take care of things with my job and apartment before I leave. Probably like in 3 weeks or so.''

''So, it's decided then?''

''I think, pretty much''

''Ok then''

After that talk, Maou and Emi didn't speak at each other for the rest of the day.

After that day, news had spread, Emi was moving back to Ente Isla with her Family. The day she was living had come and everyone gathers along to say goodbye

''Rika, Suzuno, Chiho, I can't thank you enough for being my friends and staying by me side after all this time. We have been thru so much. I'll come soon. Don't take this as a ''goodbye'', take it more like a ''see ya later'' ok?'' Emi wraps her arms and hugs the three girls.

''You better come back Emi! Not like the last time when Maou and Suzuno had to look for you! Rika said to Emi while she was crying.

''Yes Rika, I will, don't worry''

''Yusa-san, pls take care of Alas=Ramus and take care of yourself too'' Chiho said to Emi while she was hugging her back.

''Emilia, don't worry, I'll keep these demons in check while you're absent''

''Thanks allot Suzuno and thank you for everything''

Maou and the others were saying their goodbyes to Alas=Ramus.

''I'm going to miss you Alas=Ramus'' Maou hugging her daughter with a tear on his check''

''Papa, me miss you too'' Alas=Ramus was clearly upset.

''Don't cry Alas=Ramus, we will see each other really soon, ok?

''Promise?''

''Papa promise, be a good girl ok? And listen to everything that Mama says''

''Okey, byebye Lushifer and Ashel!''

''Goodbye, little one'' Ashiya with a respectful and sad voice.

''See ya later dude, uh... take it easy, I guess'' Lucifer was more casual but deep inside was really upset like the rest.

Alas=Ramus when back to merge with Emi and everyone was ready to see Emi take off. She opens the gate and turns for one last goodbye and before she turns again to enter the gate, she stares at Maou...

Subconsciously, she was waiting for Maou to say something, she didn't exactly know what, but all she knew is that she wanted some few words coming from him before leaving. At the same time, Maou was staring at her, waiting for something she might need to say to him before her leaving. They stared at each other with no words coming out between them. Suddenly, Emi turns and enters the gate without saying a word. The gate closes and everyone goes back to their houses.

It's been 3 months since that day. Emi and Alas=Ramus were enjoying breakfast with Emi's parents, Nord and Lailah.

Lailah noticed Emi's unhappy face...

''What's the matter, Emilia?''

''Mama? feel sick?''

Both Alas=Ramus and Lailah were concern for Emi.

''It's nothing, I'm going to take a walk, I'll be back soon. Alas=Ramus stay here and be a good girl ok? ''

''Okey! Me play with grampa Nord!'' hehe

''You think she'll be ok?'' Nord asks Lailah with some concern for Emi.

''She'll be fine. She is a very strong person. Whatever that's it's troubling her, I'm sure she can sort it out'' Lailah responded with confidence that Emi will be ok on her own.

Emi was walking near the wheat fields. It was weird for her to have this feeling. She was feeling uneasy and she didn't understand why. She had what everything she wish for, being with her family, living a normal life with them. She had everything and yet felt that she had nothing at the same time. Deep inside her, she knew what was causing these feelings. She spent most of her morning just walking through the fields.

After walking for a little while, she saw someone unfamiliar sitting on a hill near to her father's fields.

''Who is that?'' As she asked herself, she went to get a closer look.

The closer she was getting the clearer was the image of that person just sitting there looking at the fields. Emi started to run but after a certain distance, she stopped. She couldn't believe it, it was ''Him''.

''M..Maou?!, What?! That can't be! While she was having a crisis on her head and trying to understand this particular situation...

''Hey! Emi! Over here!'' Maou spotted Emi and wave his hand at her letting her know that he was there, but Emi was already aware that he was in fact Maou!

''Heeey! What are you doing? Just come here already'' Maou calling once more to Emi.

Emi was speechless but she decides to go where Maou was at, sitting in that hill. Emi gets to where Maou was sitting and before she could've said anything...

''I see why you hated me so much about me destroying your homeland, this... this place is so beautiful and peaceful,'' Maou said to Emi, just looking at the horizon covered with fields of wheat and mountains.

Emi didn't say a word so she just sat there next to Maou.

''I talk to Lailah on my way over here. She told me you were around here. Acies=Ara came with me too, she's probably playing with Alas=Ramus, so they should be coming over here any moment now.''

A few minutes on the silence between the Hero and the Devil King...

''Still no word huh?''

''Why? Why are you here? What are you doing?'' Emi had finally said something, she was really conflicted and confused.

''I can ask you the same thing'' Maou responded at Emi's desperate questions

''I.. I...''

''...'' Emi had any words nor knowing what to say for this moment.

''I hate you, I hate when you do things that I don't understand. I hate how you are so carefree. I hate how ''good'' you can be with other people despite you being a demon. I hate how even though you destroyed many lives in Ente Isla, you become a model citizen in Japan. I hate how you forgot about Alas=Ramus during your days as a Devil King, and now, how a good ''Papa'' you are to her. I hate how you didn't say a word before we left Japan and yet you came here out of nowhere. I hate how you make me feel and you don't even notice you, dumb dense idiot. I just simply hate you!''

Emi After saying and screaming all these things, just looking at the floor almost crying, Maou gets close to Emi and says...

''Hey Emi''

''What?!'' Emi replied with a bit of aggression.

Maou puts his hand on Emi's face to make her face to him and kisses her forehead.

''Now you know why I'm here. I'm also here because I did promise to Alas=Ramus we would see each other again soon... Te-he xP.

So Emi, how about I stay here so you can keep ''hating'' me all you want?''

Emi couldn't say anything again and all she did was grab and hug Maou's arm...

''You Idiot'' Emi said with a smile on her face, she finally felt relief.

''Yeah yeah, whatever you say''

Maou and Emi were clinging each other. And before anything else happen, Alas=Ramus and Acies=Ara went running towards Maou and Emi joining them and hugging everyone together.

''Papa stay with us? Together? Alas=Ramus was looking at Papa once again.

''Yes, Papa will stay forever''

''Together with Mama too?''

Maou looks at Emi with a sweet smile on his face and says...

''Yes, together with Mama too''

The End.
