The story below is an Adaptation of NIJISANJI EN Mysta Rias
Chapter 1
The Killer
The crime scene was in a secluded alley. Mysta crossed the cordon and looked around. The blood near the mark was dry, and he lays on his hands and knees and sniffed like a dog. Mysta followed the smell, walked to the next trash can and observed the lid of the trash can.
βI smell the scent of the killer!β Mysta whispered.
Mysta climbed up to the lid of the trash can, he saw a red dot on the wall.
“Itβs the killerβs blood! he exclaimed.
Mysta laughed, βIβm so smart!β
The police collected the killer’s blood and extracted his DNA. Soon, they were able to locate the killer’s residence.
The Sheriff praised, βOh my god! Youβve been really helpful, Mr.Rias! Thank you very much!β
βIt’s not a big deal. I will help you catch the killer,β said Mysta.
Chapter 2
The King of Hell
After leaving the crime scene, Mysta went home and lay in bed thinking about the smell of the killer.
Mysta looked up to the ceiling and said aloudοΌβWhere am I supposed to find the killer? Should he be in… Uh… Oxford Street? Right!! Oxford Street!βMysta jumped out of bed, βI’m going to catch whoever did this right now!β
Mysta arrived at Oxford Street at 3.30am. He followed the smell of his memory to an apartment building. Mysta climbed the fire ladder next to the building and climbed to the fifth floor. He sniffed again. He was sure it was the killer’s house.
I finally found you, Mysta thought.
The killer was sitting on the sofa watching TV. He was very large. Mysta watched the killer, waiting for him to leave the living room to enter the house.
βHey! Who are you!βscreamed the killer.
βWow, I can’t believe you found me, so I’m not hiding myself. I’m here to catch you, killer,βMysta sneered.
The murderer got angry and punched Mysta in the face. Mysta didn’t react and sat back down on the ground. Mysta was in daze and saw the murderer coming towards him with a knife.
Mysta thought, Oh no, I’ve failed. I’m going to be a victim, too!
Mysta fell into a coma, and when he woke up his eyes were full of fire and lava, like hell. He saw a long-haired man in a red suit standing in front of him, looking at him with ferocious eyes like a demon.
Chapter 3
Return to the World
Mysta stands up. He asks the man in front of him, “Where is here?”
βHere is hell, Mysta!βhe said.
Mysta said in horror, “Why do you know my name! Who you are! “
βIβm Vox Akuma, The king of Hell. Do you know why you’re here? My dear Mysta,βVox said.
Mysta said with great fear,βI donβt know. βHe was so frightened that he fell to his knees.
Vox crouched down, stroked Mysta’s face and whispered, “You’re dead. This is hell. All you can do now is make a deal with me.”
“Impossible! I’m not dead yet! I’m not making a deal with you! “Mysta shouted.
Vox smirks and points to Mysta’s belly. Mysta looked down and saw a large cut on her belly. Apparently, a wound from a knife . Mysta remembered, he had been stabbed to death. He is really dead. Mysta’s pupils dilated and her body shook.
“What’s the price of the deal?” Mysta asked.
Vox made the “four” sign and said, “A quarter of your life. “
Chapter 4
Finding the Killer Again
Mysta looks viciously at Vox and asks, “Is that the only price?”
“Not really, of course you can trade half your life,” Vox said.
Mysta shouts, "No way!!"Vox puts his hand on Mysta’s eyes and tells him to close the eyes.
Vox recited the incantation and kissed Mysta on the forehead,
ending the ceremony.
A light shone into Mysta’s eyes, and Vox whispered, “Open your eyes.”Mysta opened her eyes and found herself in her own bed, Vox was standing by the bed.
“Hey! Why are you here?” Mysta asked, confused.
Vox laughs, “To experience life on Earth, I haven’t been here in 400 years. Oh, also to help you catch the killer.”
βI donβt need your help!!βgrowled Mysta.
“Is that so? Then who was accidentally killed by the killer? ” scoffs Vox.
Mysta’s face was red with anger.

βWait, what??? Where are you going??βMysta was puzzled.
“No, I’ll live with you. After all, I have a quarter of your life in me, and it would be a shame to go back to hell like this.” Vox looked at Mysta and said.
Mysta thought for a moment and then said, “Oh yeah? Fine! I’d love to have a demon help me solve my cases.”
