So, who the hell did you call an idiot?

You duh.

Stupid ass slime is about to die today.

Xania uses her free hand to make some blue-colored fire appear, slowly bringing it closer to blob.

Actually now that I think about it, I didn't call you an idiot, nope, not you.

You sure? I'm not telling you to take it back, you know?

Not like you're giving much of a choice. Blob mutters softly at Xania but she hears, bringing the fire closer.

Yup!!! Not talking about you!

Alright then, so since you have no animosity towards me, you're gonna work for me.

Can I refuse?

Sure, you just need to complete the contract.

What contract? We didn't sign anything for a job.

Oh, nothing much, just stay into my fire for a couple minutes.

We don't even have a real contract!

The humans use contracts to uphold their laws, for the demons, my word is basically the law so since I said if you want to leave, you need to suffer a bit, that's how it works.

… I hate you.

Same here, so from now on, you're gonna work with Graunter to manage the underworld okay?

Graunter? Whose that?

Oh, you'll see soon.

Xania writes a short letter with magic, detailing what happened before using her scythe to create another rift to Graunter, throwing the latter with blob at him before using mana to make it unstable, closing it up immediately.

Nice, problem solved.

Where's Anise though, I kind of need her right now.

Anise appears beside her immediately as she says that.

My lord, you need me?

Are you just stalking me?

I don't know, maybe use your detection magic more often if you don't want to be stalked.

Who uses detection magic randomly?

Nobody, but you should.

Xania sighs for a moment before remembering why she wanted Anise.

Hey, is there a way to store my weapon with me at all times? My scythe is basically almost taller than me, it's so troublesome, at this rate I could use it as a walking stick.

Oh yea, I wanted to ask you my lord, but you can just use spatial magic.

How?

Make a small container, like really small, use spatial magic to make the inside bigger and add spatial magic to teleport things in and out just by thinking about it.

Unauthorized use of content: if you find this story on Amazon, report the violation.

That's it?

Yea.

Seems simple enough.

Ok, bye then, don't forget to get me one my lord.

Yea yea whatever.

Xania immediately creates a small cube, using spatula magic but accidently making the inside smaller as she tries again, accidently teleporting the small box god knows where as she keeps trying, failing every attempt.

What the hell!! I didn't expect using spatial magic on a smaller item to be so hard!

Xania keeps trying and trying for hours before going to her bedroom, lying on her bed having given up in annoyance as Anise appears with an enthusiastic expression, going to sit beside Xania.

No Anise, I do not have your storage cube thingy.

Hearing this, Anise’s enthusiasm fades away immediately.

Wow, your mood changes fast.

My lord, are you still holding a grudge for something I did? Why didn't you help me make one?

Anise, it's not that I don't want to but I can't.

Huh? You can't?

Yea, my mana keeps going out of control when using it on such a small object, teleporting it elsewhere or some other problems, I even almost accidentally Teleported it inside some random passerby's body when I looked at them for a moment.

My lord, that seems like a simple problem.

What?

You have too much mana but not enough control over it.

My control is better than yours.

Yes but I have less mana, so I can control mine better.

How about this? I'll use the spatial magic, you just need to provide me with mana my lord, along with helping me fix the magic circles on it, but it should be enough right?

I guess I could try.

Xania creates many small cubes as she watches Anise start her spatial magic, but despite being much less skilled at spatial magic, she does it first try, annoying Xania due to her needing to try for hours but still failing in the end. Xania watches as Anise easily uses spatial magic, making the inside bigger leaving Xania to refill her mana to use more spatial magic.

Ok my lord, I'm done, please add the magic circles now. Anise looks at Xania with more enthusiasm as before, annoying Xania further as Xania tries hiding it, clearly failing as Anise tries to hide her enthusiasm, gazing away, unwilling to meet Xania's eyes with her own.

Fine fine.

Xania starts using the spatial magic to make the magic circles, finding it much easier than using spatial magic directly on the box as Anise immediately grabs the first ring Xania finishes, teleporting her weapon to her and storing it in.

Anise, give it, let me try something.

Sure?

Xania materialises a small chain around it, turning it into a small bracelet with valuable ores and the box itself, upon further inspection by Anise being the same material used to make their weapons although without the abyss’s properties.

Ok Anise, take it back now, this should make it easier to use.

Thanks my lord.

Xania does the same with the rest of the cubes, making one for the main 4 demons who summoned her except Sliver since she lacks any limbs and having another big ring around her would instruct movement as Xania puts on her bracelet, giving the rest to Anise.

Pass the rest to the other demons.

Sure.

Anise teleports away as Xania places her weapon into her storage bracelet, satisfied at not having to use her ridiculously big scythe like a walking stick everywhere she goes, and struggling to fit through every door if she holds her scythe the wrong way.

Anyways, I wonder what else I can do with this.

Hmm… this may be a bad idea… but…

Anise removes the safety magic circles she placed on the bracelet as she tries using the bracelet, pulling herself into it.

As she looks around the inside of her bracelet, still surprised it worked, she sees that it's all just black due to the darkness and the material with her scythe shining dimly with the majority of it being black, absent of the red light it had before Xania got sucked into the abyss, now replaced by a black shadow inside, one she can somehow see despite the lack of any light inside.

This could be useful.

Xania starts trying to make another bracelet, copying Anise's mana by cutting off the mana in her finger from the rest of her body as she makes another cube, one without the safety measurements while adding the magic circles back to the old one.

I could use this as a jail of sorts couldn't I?

Let me try this on Anise real quick.

As she says that out loud, she notices mana being used near her, specifically mana for trying to teleport away as she interrupts it and tries grabbing the source with her bare hands, exposing a previously invisible Anise as she tries struggling out with no success.

Anise, do you know why I target you?

Because you're an ungrateful person who can't be grateful for all the help I provide?

No, because you're the most physically weak yet strong enough to deal with these tests.

Just do it…

Xania teleports Anise into the ring, feeling her try to escape by teleporting herself out with the magic circles as Xania prevents it, overriding it with her own mana as she attaches a chain onto the small cube, and starts swinging it around, using her excellent hearing to listen to Anise's complaints and protest as she keeps it up, stopping after a while letting Ansie out but teleporting her away before she can either complain, protest or vomit, whichever came first, not that Xania would know after Anise got teleported away.

Hmm.. I wonder what the other kingdoms are intending to do in preparation for all the recent trouble, especially the abyss one…
