Chapter 3

I roamed Mepphyland with a white sun hat that covered most of my face and a clipboard. Any other human might have thought I was some Inspector of some sort. That's if they could see me. But I thought visiting a place where many humans go would be a good place to study them. I had been studying them from the roofs of buildings around Mepphyland for a few days already so it was about time for a change in environment.

Mepphyland seems like a really cool amusement park, if you were a human though. To me, Mepphyland is just a place with my brother's face everywhere. Someone's face ought to only be in one place, not on everything. It's just plain creepy. There were also many statues of him almost everywhere.

Today, Mepphyland was closed because there was a Ghost roaming around and yanking on people's arms and legs. Most humans couldn't see me, so it didn't really matter much. But I was rather disappointed but the lack of humans to study.

I turned my head to look at the Roller-coaster. There was a huge sign that said "Go To Hell". Then I noticed Amaimon in the middle of the track, staring down at something.

Humans. But not ordinary ones. They were the student Exorcists from Samael's school. Better be careful. Don't want to get involved in anything.

I watched from afar as Okumura Rin chased after a Ghost, but only to lose sight of it. Amaimon jumped from his original spot to the golden statue of Samael.

Rin took out his mobile phone. Amaimon seized the chance and took the red bag which had the sword Rin was holding while he was distracted effortlessly, all while sucking on his lollipop.

"Holy crap! Who the hell are you? Give that back!"

"Who? Oh, yes." Amaimon took the lollipop out of his mouth. "I'm Amaimon, the prince of demons. I'm something similar to your old brother. Nice to meet you."
He put the sweet back into his mouth. "This is the Kōmaken. I wonder if ya know what kinda device this is."

Curious, Amaimon unsheathed part of the sword. Rin had blue flames on his body. The flames of Satan, so this kid really is a child of Satan. Amaimon sheathed and unsheathed the sword just to see the blue flames come and go like an on-off switch before fully unsheathing the sword.

"Hah, hah… I see. Part of the blade of the sword appears to be a small entrance leading to Gehenna. Does the sheath serves the purpose as the gateway? As for you, your "power" may be from Gehenna but your "body" exists in Assiah. If I sheath the blade, the door closes. But if I yank it out, the door opens… So that's how it works…?"

"GIMME!" Rin furiously attempts to attack Amaimom. He fails, and slices the head of Samael's statue off its head.

"Oh, no. That's brother's neck."

"What's your objective!?"

"Objective? I had spare time so I came to play. I studied up a bit on Japanese games. Onii-san, over here… towards the clapping sound." Amaimon started clapping, teasing poor Rin.

Rin charged at Amaimon, but was easily beaten by the latter. "Such a letdown. I don't understand why father and brother have become so entranced by something like this…" Amaimon, who had pinned Rin onto the ground, was suddenly thrown off his feet forcefully.

Rin, covered in blue flames with threatening eyes and teeth, attacked Amaimon and pinned him down.

"Wow. Now we're talking. That's the spirit!" Amaimon was now smiling. He banged a fist onto the ground, creating a large earthquake. Amaimon kicks Rin away.

"Are you already done? How boring… Although your older brother tries to stop you… Now that you've become like this, shall we break your sword?"

Someone intervenes and tries to slice Amaimon.

"Another time, perhaps…" Amaimon abandons the sword and jumps away, towards my direction. He landed on me. And I quickly disappeared into a portal before the other exorcists arrive.

"Nee-san." I looked up from my clipboard to Amaimon. He crumpled my papers so I was kinda upset. But it was nothing much, I can simply reverse time but that's just a waste of energy.

"Yes Amai-chan?"

"Was that good enough or do you think I used too little force?"

"Amai-chan, that force could easily kill a normal human. But that's okay since Rin isn't really a normal human anyway."

Amaimon sighed. He was still bored, even after the fight. I snapped my fingers and a long piece of string appeared. I wrapped it around my fingers and made different shapes. Amaimon just stared wide-eyed with excitement. I wrapped it around Amaimon's hands and taught him how to arrange them. Soon, he was happily amusing himself with the string. Occasionally his fingers would get stuck, but he otherwise he seemed to be really amused by the string.

Samael came into the office with a sour look on his face. He dragged Amaimon to the window and pointed at the headless statue of himself at Mepphyland.
"Nii-san…it wasn't my fault."
