Sir Pheles' Plaything (Mephisto Pheles x Reader)

Chapter 29

The following morning, you had a long shower, ate breakfast, and prepared yourself a lunch for the day. You dressed in your cram school uniform and made your way to the building.

Several of the cram school students were circled around something on the wall.

"What's up?" You asked as you approached them.

Shima turned around and waved happily, "Oh, hey (Y/N). It looks like classes have been cancelled today. I guess we can take it easy! Do you have any other plans?" He winked at you.

You laughed, "I guess I could carry on with my training. Weird that all of our classes have been cancelled in one go though, I wonder what's going on." You furrowed your brows in thought.

"I think the teachers have been called out on a mission, that's all." Shima responded as he lay down on the grass, looking completely unfazed by the news. "You sure you don't wanna take the time to chill out?" He patted the grass next to him. Bon and Konekomaru walked over and sat down.

"Shima, stop being such a perv!" Bon sighed.

You laughed, "I think I need to prioritise my training for now, sorry guys!" You said as you made your way back into the academy.

You walked towards the training room and stopped outside of the room, wondering what kind of mission all of the teachers would be called on in such short notice. Your mind wandered back to the hydra as a heavy feeling settled in your stomach. Suddenly you felt an overwhelming sense of anxiety.

You turned back round and used your key to travel to the temple. You inhaled deeply and steadied your nerves, not really knowing what compelled you to go there. 'I wonder if the teachers are here' you pondered as you made your way to the front entrance.

"Ah, you're back again." Greeted the same short, fat old man that you'd seen before. "Are you here to question more people?" He asked with a smile.

You shook your head, "Not quite. Are there any other exorcists here today?" You asked, looking around from the doorway.

"No." The man said, "We've not heard anything since you all left. Are you expecting more exorcists to join you?"

You thought about it for a moment, "I guess not, I'm just here to visit someone this time. Is the man with the long white hair still here? I think his name was Hanzo." You asked innocently.

The man smiled and wiped away sweat from his forehead, "He is, and he seems to be doing much better this morning. Are you friends with him?" Paying closer attention to him, you saw that he was looking a little more nervous this time.

"I don't know about friends." You said, "But perhaps friendly at least."

The old man stepped aside, and you made your way to Hanzo's room. On your way, you spotted the black haired man sitting at the statue again. This time he was facing away from the statue and was reading a book. His black hair was still unruly looking, and his previously dirty black robes had been cleaned, however they still looked a little messy. You decided to walk past him without saying anything.

A cold shiver ran down your spine, feeling his eyes on your back as you continued to walk by.

You arrived at Hanzo's room and knocked the door. The blonde haired man answered and smiled weakly at you, you remembered Hanzo had referred to him as Junichi, "Oh, hello. What brings you back?" He asked. He looked pale and shaky but managed to keep his voice under control.

"I've come to speak with Hanzo, is he up to visitors?"

Junichi flinched and stood between you and the door to Hanzo's room. "He's busy at the moment, I can relay a message if you'd like, though?"
