Minoru's hometown

It was Monday morning, everyone got up early to go to school or work. And it was not long until a good neighbor found out that the door to Ms. Takahashi's house had been left opened with the her nowhere to be found. The good neighbor immediately called the police.

At the motel

7:30 AM

As Minoru walked down from the stairs of the motel, yawning mid-way, he saw Satan was sitting in front of the TV.

"Good morning, Satan?"

"Good morning, Minoru? Lucifer and others have gone out to search for Beel, he left your breakfast in the kitchen. And he said he wanted to see the dishes done by the time he returned."

"What are you watching?" Minoru asked as he was taking out some utensils to eat his breakfast.

"Morning News, Food Section."

"Huh!" Minoru nearly dropped the spoon he was holding.

"Don't misunderstand, I'm not like Beel. In fact, I'm watching this to find him."

"I guess you're finding 'A big guy suddenly appeared out of nowhere and devoured all the food in the restaurant', right?"

"Hahaha...something like that." Satan laughed.

As Satan turned back to watch TV, the Food Section had ended and was continued by Law Section. At the beginning of the Law section, the news showed infamous criminals receiving their sentences. However, the theme of Law section shifted to ongoing cases soon afterwards, which made Satan begin to enjoy deducting them.

"Today, a woman in St. Anne's town, a town in North-East region has been found missing." said the host "The woman's name was Sara Takahashi, originally an immigrant,..."

CLANG

Hearing the sound of something dropping, Satan turned back to look at the dining room, only to see Minoru rushing out and standing beside the sofa he was sitting on, looking at the TV, on which they were showing a picture of a woman most dear to Minoru.

"...M...mom..."

At a burger restaurant inside Jewel City

"*munch* *munch* *munch*"

"Woah! He's really here!" No. 2 could not hide his surprise as he looked as Beel eating inside the restaurant "How did you manage to find him, Lucifer?"

"Must be an older brother's intuition. He always manages to find us, no matter where we are." Mammon answered instead of Lucifer. "Which is a nuisance, because we need some privacy too, especially me, who needs some time to to spend the money I earn."

"You do realize that Lucifer is with us right now, right?"

"!!!"

"MAMMON!"

Ring...ring...ring

"Minoru!?...Consider yourself lucky, Mammon!" Lucifer said as he pressed the green phone button appearing on his phone.

"Minoru, what is it?"

"L...Lucy, my mom...you have to save her!"

"Calm down first! I will return right away!"

When Ms. Takahashi woke up, she could barely see anything since she was surrounded by by pitch black darkness. As her eyes were adjusting to the darkness, she heard the sound of an opening door and then, the light turned on.

"Good morning, Ms. Takahashi!"

As Ms. Takahashi looked at the two men standing in front of her, she just wanted to scream. Before her stood a bearded man in black attire, but the second man was a gruesome humanoid spider monster.

"If you're scared of him, you may scream, Ma'am!" the bearded man in black attire said, he seemed pretty amused by the scared look on Ms. Takahashi's face.

"W...who are y...you? W...where am I...I? W...what do y...you w...want?" Ms. Takahashi suppressed her fear and asked with a trembled voice.

"HAHAHAHAHA!" the bearded man laughed "How rude of me? I should have introduced myself first. I am General Sabnock, this guy here is Synthetic Spider."

The humanoid spider monster nodded in agreement and even repeated its name "Synthetic Spider".

"As for your other questions...it's not hurt to tell you. But I will only tell you when your son arrives."

(It's not hurt to tell...he's gonna kill us when Minoru arrives!?)
