Panic in front of the Café

 Pythorgh looked at Masami mockingly.

"So...you finally decided to appear witch. I thought you will be hiding and trying to protect your precious customers in your café"

"Oh you don't have to worry about them, I cast a silent spell around the café and left Nobuyuki take care of them." Masami said as she approach closer to them with Takashi following from behind.

Then she stand close to Ryota who was still trying to help Sayaka breath.

"You should teach better your accomplices not to mess with stronger opponents than they are."  Pythorgh said with a taunting look on his face

"Oh are you calling yourself strong opponent darling?" Masami asked him in the same tone making Pythorgh look at her sharply

"You're no match for me witch"

"Oh that's beyond the whole point sweetheart, you see you're in my territory now"

"Your territory? Ha What about it?" Pythorgh snickers with indifference

"Oh but that's the whole point dearie" Masami said and then her eyes got dark by rage as a danger aura drips from her presence as she spoke

"You see, you come here in my territory attacking my precious staff members in front of my café because you think we are not match for you..." then she sighed in boredom and look daggers directly into his eyes."You really have death wish don't you?"

 Pythorgh look at her dumbfounded and then he started laughing loudly.

"Hahaha, you humans are so weak yet you got so much pride and confidence even in front of death."

"Aahh" Masami sighed more deeply

"I've had enough of talking with this numbskull, Takashi deal with him as I will treat Sayaka" Masami said calmer as she turned her back to Pythorgh and walk towards to Ryota.

"Understood my lady" Takashi said sharply and went and stand in front of Pythorgh

"So the old man will die first, okay" Pythorgh said with indifference, as he raised his right hand and summon a giant black claymore.

"Choose your weapon wisely old man, it will be your last fight"  

"I don't need a weapon" Takashi said calmly as he wore slowly a pair of black butler's gloves.

"My fists will be more than enough to deal with an unwanted guest" he then strikes a fighting pose, seemingly with no rush but ready to attack.

"You're dead old human" Pythorgh raised his claymore ready to strike him down but before he move Takashi suddenly moved from behind him and jump over him ready strike him with his leg.

 Pythorgh managed to block his kick with his claymore just in time. 

He's fast! and what's with this inhuman strength?

Takashi landed in front of him and punch the bone of his knee before he could block it. Pythorgh groaned in sharp pain and strike him with his claymore as he was standing. Takashi blocked his strike with his bare hands easily and then strike his other knee to make him lose his balance.

Meanwhile Masami was kneeling above Sayaka to check her condition.

"Masami, she can't breath it's like something is strangling her in a constant grip" Ryota said in panic

"It's okay Ryota I got her, you go and check on Ryosuke, take him to the café inside and come back immediately for Sayaka" Masami said as she put her hands gently around her neck and start whispering a sorcery dissolving spell against the dark spell of the Archdemon

"Got it" Ryota runed towards Ryosuke

"Are you okay?" Ryota holding him softly and support his back to make him rise from the ground.

"Cough, cough ah ah....I've been better" he managed to say with blood coming out from his mouth from each cough

Ryota gently wipe the blood off his mouth with his handkerchief. Then he helped him stand up and carried him back into the café. Before he entered inside he gave a last glance to the battle between Takashi and Pythorgh. The moment he entered the café it was like he entered a completely different world.

Everyone in the café were sitting on their tables, while enjoying their refreshments and their food like nothing was going on outside. Some of them turn and look at him a bit worry because of Ryosuke current state.

"It's okay everyone" a calm voice was sounded,

Ryota then looked Nobuyuki coming towards to him from the bar to also help Ryosuke from the other side by supporting him.

"Our staff member got a small accident while was carrying some supplies, there's nothing to worry about" Nobuyuki said making everyone relax and get back to their conversations.

"It's okay Ryota I got him, you can go back outside for Sayaka" Nobuyuki said as he hold Ryosuke by himself and carry him upstairs.

Ryota rushed back to the exit and outside. The fight between Takashi and Pythorgh was still ongoing with Pythorgh trying to land a single strike to Takashi but failing every time. Ryota runs towards Masami and Sayaka, Sayaka was still coughing trying desperately to breath.

"How's she?" Ryota asked worried as he knelt closely to Sayaka

"That curse he put on Sayaka was a very nasty one, I'm still trying to figure out it how to help her, proper sorcery healing doesn't seem to work" Masami said pretty anxious about Sayaka state.

Ryota look at the poor woman's face as she was struggling in pain. She gently hold her hand trying to soothe her.

"Hold on Sayaka, please don't give up" 

Then out of nowhere a strong beam of light on Ryota's hand while he was holding Sayaka's hand. Surprised he pulled away scared.

"What the...?"

Masami completely surprised by what she just saw, she look at Sayaka face. Then she quickly removed her hands from her neck ordered Ryota with a strict tone.

"Put your hands on her neck like i was doing, NOW"

Ryota's surprised he did immediately as she told him to. When he put his hands around Sayaka's neck the light beam suddenly appeared again.

"Don't remove your hands, HOLD THEM" Sayaka instructed him

Ryota's nodded positively while the light beam around her neck grow stronger and stronger. Pythorgh look surprised the whole scene while he was fighting with Takashi nonstop.

After a bit the light beam fade it out, and Ryota removed his hands. Then Sayaka coughed a bit and open her eyes slowly while she start breathing again normally. 

"Sayaka are you okay?" Ryota helped her sit back up from the ground 

Sayaka gently nodded

Masami look at her delighted as she pet her head soothingly and then turned her head to Ryota.

"You're full of surprises don't you?" asked him teasingly with a gratefull glint on her eyes

"IMPOSSIPLE. HOW DID YOU DO THAT?!" Pythorgh yelled in rage trying to charge on them, but Takashi attacks make him back off.

"Take her and go inside the café from the back door" Masami said as she helped Ryota hold Sayaka into his arms. "We don't want to alarm our customers with a second victim"

Ryota took her and turned to walk to the café.

"And Ryota..."

Ryota turned his head to look at Masami.

"After you take Sayaka don't return. Stay inside" Masami said to him directly

Ryota look at her deeply into her eyes and said:

"Don't make me carry you too" he said and then turned his back and run back to the café

Masami look at him tenderly as she smiled heart-warming.

"My my... I wasn't aware you were such a charmer Mr. Ryota"

Then she turned to Pythorgh who was still fighting against Takashi.

"Now that the children have left, it's time for the grown ups to talk" she said mischievously while she flipped her thick loose braid backwards and at the same time her weapon appearing on her hand....
