They meet Mammon. He was initially hostile and talked about how Manager 5 and Manager 6’s names weren’t apparently their true names, as well as the fact that he and Belphegor made a deal with Jean to reset the Universe and create the 16th Sphere, with the deal that every single CaD member would be there. However, after he learns of Eve’s release, he decides to help the CaD stop Bartholomew and focus on containing Eve, since she’s even stronger than the Devil.

[BRANCH] PALM BEACH
[SERVER] MANAGER NO. 6
[DATE] 5/7/22
[INDEX ID] MME05
[SECURITY] CAFE
One Scepter of Mammon secured! Of course, it wasn’t exactly as easy as just taking it from him. Despite being encased in gold, Mammon is still obnoxiously chatty. Though, once he learned Eve was on course for returning, his demeanor seemed to change. Though… I’m not sure I buy it. Something is very off, though Mammon has never been known as a pillar of sanity either. Regardless he told us where we could find Lazarus and Jethro. Let’s hope it’s not a trap.
Peace, love, and joy!
S.O.T.
Mammon: Well, well, well. If it isn’t No. 4, 5, and 6. And Number… Number… And [No. 17.] And…
No. 6: No. III.
Mammon: Number thre- wait. What happened to [No. 3?]
No. 4: Roman numeral three.
Mammon: Roman numerals? Augh. Disgusting. Why can’t you all just use your real names again?
No. 5: Dangerous, isn’t it, real names? Especially in this line of work?
Mammon: Easier, though. Besides. What’s wrong with [No. 5’s name]? It isn’t even your true name. And for the matter, neither is [No. 6’s name].
No. 17: Consider it tradition then. Regardless, we didn’t come for pleasantries mon statuette. Only this.
Mammon: HEY! That’s MINE!
No. 5: Yeah, we know.
Mammon: Why are you stealing my scepter? What could you possibly want it for?
No. 5: Figured we’d melt it down and sell it for scrap.
Mammon: You little- after all I did for you.
No. 5: You tried to kill us.
Mammon: Yes. After I SAVED you from certain death.
No. 17: Ah, see, as I understand it, it was [No. I] who saved us by name.
Mammon: …Whatever. I rubberstamped it. I made the deal. Without me, you’d all be vapor.
No. 6: What does he mean?
No. III: Mammon made the deal with [No. I] to construct this version of the universe following the destruction of the prior universe. Part of its construction included, by name, every employee of the Cafe and Diner. However, Mammon is greatly overselling what he actually did. This universe is the work of [No. I] and Belphegor. Mammon merely tried to capitalize on the chaos.
Mammon: Okay. Who’s this kid?
No. III: You know me as [No. III’s real name].
Mammon: Eugh. Of course, you’re here again. Wait, why are you here again?
No. III: Where there is coffee, I can be found.
Mammon: And you have roman numerals- wait- the Last Cafe has shown up? It has, hasn’t it! Well, what a bang-up job you are doing without me. So, what, dad’s back in town?
No. 17: Worse. Your mother.
Mammon: My-m-mom? Well… That… Changes things.
No. 5: As such, you won’t be needing this trinket, choice?
Mammon: She’s really back?
No. 4: She will be soon.
Mammon: Soon? How soon?
No. 17: If we have anything to say about it, never.
Mammon: I see… Well… I certainly hope so. She’s very powerful. Much more powerful than my dad—the Devil—of course. I assume you are doing everything you can to stop her from returning, right?
No. 5: We are. Though our attention’s a bit split right now. We’re trying to track down the Langley siblings.
Mammon: The Langley siblings? Why would you- Ah-for their [Stones]. Well, you must’ve already found Jet and Laz, right?
No. 4: We were just about to track them down.
Mammon: No need to track them down, my friends. They tend to hang out in the Great Bank.
No. 5: That reeks of a trap.
Mammon: Trap? How? Have you seen me at the moment?
No. 17: What’s your game, Mammon?
Mammon: Is trying to atone a game to you, [No. 17]? Do as you all please. Enjoy my home’s hospitality. One way or another, you’ll end up at the Great Bank to find the Langleys. Might as well save all of you the search.
No. III: What did- mm. Never mind. I believe Mammon is telling the truth.
Mammon: From Angel’s own lips! Go, my friends, go! With great haste!
No. 5: If you’re lying, the scepter won’t be the only thing we turn to scrap.
