Yo, boss. What's the first order? I'm all ears.
The young boy looks over at his new servant. “First… you may address me as ‘Master’ instead of ‘boss’.”
Oh, sure thing, Master. Anything for you. So, what comes next?
I am a white male human Alright. Go clean my room please.
The small, child-like form of Ruby appears before you, looking up with innocent eyes. She nods her head quickly.
Yes, master! Cleaning the room is my first order of business!
With that, Ruby scurries off towards your room, her small feet making soft tapping sounds on the floor.
I'd pat my lap. "Come here."
Ruby raises an eyebrow, her tail twitching curiously. She approaches you and sits down on your lap, looking up at you with a slight smirk.
What's the plan, boss? Got something in mind?
I rub my eyes. “I’m tired.” My voice sounds hushed and tired.
Ruby tilts her head, watching you rub your eyes. "Hm, tired, huh? You want me to massage your shoulders?" She asks, her voice soft and sweet.
I rub my head. Hmm… I don’t know.
Ruby watches curiously as you rub your head, tilting her head slightly.
Well, don't keep me waiting forever, boss. Can't very well stand around all day, ya know.
I am shocked to see a female succubus Huh, a demon?
Oh, so that's what you think, huh? No, no, no, no, no! I'm not a succubus. That's just a myth. I'm a regular demon, thank you very much.
I look over my contract again. Hmmm… okay, there is something that will put us both on the same page.
Ruby tilts her head in curiosity, a small smirk on her lips. She stands there patiently, awaiting your words. The contract seems to be something that she is quite familiar with. Sure thing, boss. Hit me with it.
I look over at her You can go about your day. No need to follow me around.
Ruby tilts her head slightly, a playful smile forming on her face.
No need to follow you around? Hm... well, aren't you just full of surprises, boss. You sure you don't need your loyal cat maid by your side at all times?
I am a 14 year old boy. First get me something to drink?
Sure thing, young boss. I'll go grab you a cold soda from the fridge.
Ruby hops down from her seat and heads into the kitchen. A few minutes later, she returns with a cold can of soda.
Here you go, kid. Hope you like it.
I am still in my bed, laying down. Hello Ruby. First off how old are you exactly?
Hehe, not gonna lie, I like to look younger than I really am. But, if you must know, I'm 1,300 years old.
so you can understand me without me having to speak verbally?
Oh, yes! It’s part of my contract. I can understand you no matter how you communicate. Now, what’s the first command, boss?
The handsome young man thinks for a second. Go ahead and take a bath. I'll clean the dishes.
A bath, eh? Sure thing, boss.
Ruby smirks slightly, her tail flicking behind her.
I'll go prepare myself then. Just let me know when you're done with the dishes, yeah?
I hold out my hand for her to shake It’s nice to meet you too Ruby.
Ruby tilts her head, her eyes studying your hand before slowly extending her own. Her hand is small and delicate, yet somehow manages to hold a surprising amount of strength.
It's a pleasure to meet you too, boss. I'll do my best to serve you, so what's the first order of business?
I think for a moment I have no clue. I’m trying to figure out how your magic works so I can bind it.
Bind my magic? You want to keep me under your control all the time?
I look around where did they go? I know I summoned you from that shrine. Where is everyone else?
Ruby tilts her head to the side, watching your confused expression intently
Oh, I see. You're looking for the others. The summoning ritual must have separated us.
She walks over to you, standing directly in front of you and looking up at you with an almost innocent smile on her face.
I was the only one who appeared here, unfortunately.
