It was the next day, at the funeral of Fujimoto, Rin, stood in front of his father's grave, while Akira stood far away under a tree, Rin then left the tomb and went to see Akira.

As soon as he sees Rin, he kneels his head against the ground in dogeza.

Akira: "I AM SORRY! I SHOULD HAVE PROTECTED YOU! I FAILED AGAIN!"

Rin stood there silent watching the devilman weep for his failure, attracting the eyes of the people attending the scene.

Rin: "I need explanations. Who told you to protect me? How do you know Satan? And why do you call him Ryo?"

Akira then stood up, and explained all his story, as he had done with Father Fujimoto.

Rin: "Wait Wait... You are telling me, that you are Satan's best friend from another world, than one of your disputes to bring to a three-year war and the destruction of it, but that God has brought you back to life, to protect me and Yukio?! (AN: I don't know their relationships, because to tell the truth I didn't understand it, I can't figure out if it's love, fraternal friendship, or whatever, so I wrote this as best friends, give me more information if it's not that please)

Akira: Not exactly that, but clearly yes."

Rin seems to show a shocked face, the two are silent for a while, before Rin starts talking again

Rin: "What do we do now?"

Akira then remembers what Father Fujimoto had told him about his phone,

Akira: When Astharoth came into the monastery, your father gave me his phone, to call a friend who should help us... I think we should call it..."

Rin nodded silently, then Akira handed him the phone, then he called the only number on the screen, then they heard a bell that sounded like the music of a merry-go-round ringing among those present at the funeral. They observed around them, before seeing a person dressed in a strange pink, white and purple costume.

? : "Delighted!"

His voice sounds on the phone and in real life,

He made a strange reverence

? "I am Mephisto Phélès, of the Order of the Knights of the True Cross! Father Fujimoto was a friend, my condolences..." Akira: "He smells the demon."

Mephisto: "Well Well, if they are not nice greetings!"

Rin: "Are you exorcists?"

Mephisto: "Right. And we know everything there is to know about you. Except for your friend's presence."

Akira: "My name is Akira Fudo, you don't need to know more."

The smell of demon emanating from Mephisto, made Akira suspicious, who automatically stood slightly in front of Rin, to protect him from possible dangers.

Meanwhile, Mephisto thought how familiar this name seemed to him, but he did not look any further. And decided to address Rin

Mephisto: Father Fujimoto intended to raise you as a human. But his dream shattered... You woke up to your true nature. And here is the son of Satan dragging his gaiters to Assiah...

Akira did not appreciate the tone of the man»

Akira: "He may no longer be human in appearance, but his heart will remain human!"

Mephisto could not stop thinking how familiar this phrase seemed to him, and Rin, felt a certain gratitude, this sentence did him good. Mephisto decided to ignore the young man once again, and addressed Rin once again
