[As he presses his blood to the paper, the blood spread out to fill the rest of the circle, leaving a perfectly level surface once he pulls his hand back. The paper then rolls itself up, before floating back to Mephisto's waiting hand -- at which point it disappears with another poof of smoke.]
Fufu, a pleasure doing business with you. Now then-- to settle the first part of our little deal, allow me to teach you a little lesson about demons.
[In the meantime-- he snaps his fingers and a little tea kettle appears, already steaming with hot tea (does time pass in hammerspace?? we just don't know) as it starts to pour out into a set of tea cups that appear just in time to catch the stream.]
[...he really is too Extra™.]
Many demons can be summoned using chants. Although often long-winded and in ancient and complicated languages, when used in combination with a magic circle, one can instantly call a demon to their side.
And for every demon who can be summoned using a chant, there is an accompanying fatal verse for that demon as well. And when a fatal verse is spoken aloud in that demon's presence, it's forcibly returned from whence it came. They're often the first line of defense used by exorcists when facing a known demon.
But in your case, given the chant you use is both short and requires some other pre-requisite beyond simply being spoken aloud-- to me, it's obvious that the chant itself was artificially created and imposed on Arahabaki, either through its own will or the will of another. A spell carefully designed so only you can use it, and only in the circumstances in which you want it to work.
If we assume such a thing exists-- then so, too, does the opposite exist. A spell designed for the sole purpose of returning Arahabaki to its dormant form.
