- When will I be able to go back to Kōtō ?
- Be patient, Miss Ando, you are still weak.
I breathed out in frustration. Being a demon was supposed to keep you out of hospitals and the like, not prisoner.
- I'm a demon, that should not be so long. It's been two days since I woke up !
- I'm sorry, Miss, you'll have to stay here a little longer, the nurse retorted.
A tough opponent. I sighed and laid back down. Two days, no news from Mephisto, nor from the other exwires. They were probably busy with Lucifer. I clenched my fists.
- Hello Mei, how are you, I'm fine, what about you, I need you, hurry up !
I sat up on my bed. Pink smoke, of course. I rolled my eyes.
- Sorry, Mephisto, another time. I'm grounded !
- Not anymore. Your friends need you in Kōtō. Stand up !
- Wait, she can't lea... the nurse tried to step in.
A useless, but brave effort.
- Need I remind you, I am Headmaster around here. I decide whether or not Miss Ando can leave, and, by all the fires of Hell, she is leaving !
- It'll do you good, he added with a wink.
Kōtō was upside down. There was fire everywhere.
- Mephisto... I don't know how exactly you teleport, but next time, don't do it that fast ! I'm sick...
- No time for this, he answered with a quick look around. Lucifer probably lit a few buildings in order to burn the district down. We have to evacuate the exwires. I lost Mr. Okumura, by the way.
- Yukio doesn't need us. Where are my friends ?
- Second area. This way, Mephisto declared.
He took my hand despite my protests ; I had no choice but to follow him.
The second area was the only place not entirely burnt down yet. The exwires had gathered here, waiting for their Headmaster to come back.
- Mei, what are you doing here ? Nako exclaimed. You're supposed to rest !
A building crumbled in the background and I pinched my nose.
- Hi, nice to see you too, I retorted. We've got to leave now. Lucifer must be around.
- I have to teleport them to the Academy, Mephisto explained, but not at the same time, I can't. Mei, you'll protect them until I'm done.
- Wait, do you remember what happened last time I protected us ?
- It'll be fine this time.
He stared at me calmly. I closed my eyes and breathed out. Maybe Lucifer would not show up this time, and if he did, I would be ready.
I looked back at Mephisto. Everything would be alright.
