A black crow, a red shoe box, and a puzzle cube. What did all these have in common? Messages from Mephisto. Something a very select few were aware of, objects nearby which would normally have escaped notice, marked by red lightning. Messages for certain people in certain places. Just as it was for Kūgekino Yuuto.

A simple missive, [i][color=red]Watch her in my absence.[/color][/i] From a man behind bars, a simple, straightforward request. The reward? Well, anything.

It was interesting to watch the reactions of the people who were told it by that man. There was such an air of confidence about him that it made you think he could really find anything in the world to give it to you. It felt like it wasn't whether he could or not, but whether he would or not. There had not been many people willing to test such a thing, however.

The reward was as such each time.

There was only one person who could be the target for this message, his daughter, Clara Deimos Erdrigan. After all, she was the driving force behind his arrest. It could be anything but frivolous. She was plotting something, perhaps. But whether that was in Mephisto's concern was not something to care about.
