“We’ll find Izumo and Shima, and we’re gonna bring ‘em back!”

Mephisto barely kept himself from clapping at the declaration. Ah, young Okumura was perfectly on script.

As he left the students and moved on to gather up disorganized exorcists, Mephisto fought the temptation to retreat to his office and begin planning the course of the upcoming rescue arc. There would be Boss Battles, a Distressed Damsel, possibly a Heel Face Turn. (He hadn’t decided which way to nudge that situation yet.) All playing out before him.

His own personal shounen manga.

He should have thought of it years ago.

Notes: I like to think Rin and the others will be changing up the script shortly. Though I'm hoping for some Boss Battles, I'm also rooting for a Reverse Mole or Fake Defector situation ;)
