"I'm back!"  Mephisto calls.

I let out a breath.

"You took one hour and thirty-seven minutes, with three milliseconds." I say.

"I told you a couple of hours." Mephisto says.

"You said a couple of hours, indicating you'd be gone for longer than one." I say.

"I was! You said it yourself." Mephisto says.

"Not a full hour." I point out.

"Excuse me? Are you Akuma-Kun?" A voice asks.

"Depends on whose asking." I look up from my work.

"I am." A man says.

I look up at him. I guess I should see what the commotion is. He was... like all the rest. A simple man. A simple mind. A simple attitude. He was tall, had on a black tie, and too large lenses for his glasses. I've seen too many men like him. 

"That doesn't answer my question. You simply said I am." I say.

"Are you Akuma-Kun then?" He asks.

"I told you- depends on who you are." I shrug.

"Don't be rude to our client!" Mephisto yelps.

"I'm not. I'm simply stating a point." I say.

"Right... my name is Watari." He answers bowing his head.

"What seems to be the problem?" Mephisto asks.

"Well... it's hard to explain." He says.

"When you say it's hard to explain do you find it difficult to tell us in English or is it that you find it hard to explain it to you?" I ask.

"Both. It is... unusual. I think someone's trying to kill the minister." He says.

"The what?!" Mephisto yelps.
