After the Castle tour, Lord Diavolo sat in his office. He took one simple look at his mountains of paperwork before allowing a groan to push past his lips. He had totally forgot about all of his reports he had to write up.

The Demon Lord was pulled out of his train of thought when a knock landed on the office door. Knowing full well who that knock belonged to, Diavolo muttered a small, "Come in."

Sure enough, his trustworthy butler with striking green hair and eyes appeared behind the door. Barbatos stepped inside and bowed.

"Pardon the intrusion, young Lord... However, there is a small... Matter I would like to discuss with you."

Diavolo rose a brow. "A small matter?"

The butler simply nodded. "Yes." He reached into his jacket where he pulled out the gaming console. Diavolo eyed the console closely as Barbatos manoeuvred towards the desk.

"A gaming console? Barbatos, is that Levi's? Why did you take it?"

The butler hummed. "My Lord, can't you feel it?"

Diavolo stopped momentarily. That's before he chuckled. "Feel what, exactly?"

"The magical aura around this console. More importantly, the fact that it smells of human."

With widened eyes, Diavolo muttered, "A-A human...?"

"Yes, my Lord." Batbatos handed the console over to his Lord who now held it carefully. Barbatos was right: there was a strong magical aura surrounding the console mixed with the strange yet overpowering scent of a human.

"What on earth...?" Diavolo turned the console on swiftly.

"My Lord." Barbatos spoke up.

"Yes, what is it?"

"Do you think that, possibly... This could be why Lucifer and his brothers have been acting so strangely?"

Diavolo was silent. However, his thoughts were screaming.

Yes, Barbatos... This is definitely the problem.

The demon's had arrived in their rooms shortly after the Castle tour. Mammon and Leviathan had settled on making sure M/C was okay.

However, there was just one problem...

"Gah! Where is my gaming console?" Leviathan freaked out. He was absolutely positive that he had left the console underneath his pillow. But when he looked, it wasn't there.

"What are ya freaking out about, hah?" Mammon rolled his eyes. He soon saw why his younger brother was so on edge.

M/C was nowhere to be seen.

"Mammon! Help me look!"

The two brothers frantically searched the bedroom for about half an hour. They had basically flipped it upside down, not caring that they were going to receive a huge scolding from Barbatos later on.
