"Akuma-kun, are you in here?" Mephisto asks.

"Yes. I am." I call without putting down my book.

"I found out about what the Minister's motives were- oof!" I hear him hit the ground.

"Aye... you really shouldn't walk with soo many files." Gremory says.

I turn from my book. I sit up and stretch myself out. I let out a breath and turn.

"Did you get hotcakes?" I ask.

"What? Hotcakes? It's two o'clock in the afternoon!" Mephisto yelps.

"I was just wondering." I stand up.

"Hey... what happened to your arm?" He asks.

"What do you mean?" I ask.

"What do I mean?! You bandaged it and its clearly leaking blood!" Mephisto yells.

"Oooh, you're bleeding, can I take a little taste?" Gremory coos.

"The human body contains 4.5 liters of blood." I say.

"What's that got to do with anything? I'm talking about you!" Mephisto yells.

"And I'm the same as the average human body unlike a half human." I point out.

"Guys, guys, cool it." Gremory sighs.

I look at the files. 

"How far do these go back Mephisto?" I ask.

"Twenty years of bitterness." Mephisto says.

"Bitterness?" I raise an eyebrow.

"Yes, bitterness. According to this, the Minister has had a long-standing line of scandals and prosecutes over him. Oh, and a couple blackmail letters." Mephisto reads through them. 

"So he had deep hatred within himself." I say.

"Yes, and that's why he summoned the demon." Mephisto says.

"Not just any demon." I pick up a file.

"Huh? What do you mean?" Mephisto asks.

"It's Storphaia's brother." I say.

"Huh?!" Mephisto and Gremory yelp.
