The Dragon Black Spot was successfully sealed, and the damage to the Heavenly Pillar also began to heal after the powerful cursed power was replenished.
The Exorcist Union also began a busy reconstruction effort.
That day was almost a war, and the damage to the Exorcist Union headquarters was really not light. Putting aside the buildings, the headquarters' defensive cursed art barrier had to be repaired as soon as possible.
It was worth mentioning that in the previous battle, Enmado Rokuro and Adashino Benio joined forces to block the Basara, Master.
Master was also at the top of the Basara, and the fact that the two could fight him head-on without falling behind made the Twelve Guardians look at them with new eyes.
In any case, the incident had been resolved, and everyone could relax for a while. At least there would be a period of peaceful daily life before Yuto Ijika took action again.
So Enmado Rokuro and Adashino Benio decided to fulfill their previous promise to Sae, taking her to the amusement park.
The last time the group had passed by an amusement park on their journey, it had been closed because a Dragon Black Spot had opened there.
Sae had always wanted to see what a normal amusement park was like, and Enmado Rokuro and Adashino Benio had promised her that.
Drake had nothing to do, so he went along. An amusement park was much more reliable than the Kyoto Ohagi trip that Adashino Benio had arranged.
But Drake soon regretted his idea. He would rather eat the sweets he didn't like at the various Ohagi shops in Kyoto.
The pendulum ride, the pirate ship, the roller coaster... This wasn't an amusement park at all. It was clearly hell on earth.
Just looking at those "torture devices" gave Drake a feeling of nausea. Even the carousel seemed to have crawled out of hell, making a terrifying laughter.
Drake shivered. No wonder Shimon Ikaruga had looked like he had something to say when he had left. It turned out that he had foreseen this scene.
Drake sat on a bench, licking the ice cream in his hand.
Sae had just ridden the roller coaster once, and the novel experience made her smile even more happily. But Enmado Rokuro on the side looked like he had lost his soul.
Although Adashino Benio looked calm on the surface, Drake could see that this child was also very frightened.
The two adults were not as good as a child, and Drake couldn't help but chuckle. But thinking of his own situation, he quickly put on a blank expression.
Just then, two girls wearing middle school uniforms ran over, saying, "Big brother, can you please take a picture for us?"
Drake was stunned for a moment before reacting, smiling, saying, "Of course, no problem!"
Saying this, Drake took the pink phone with a cat sticker on it, aiming the camera at the two girls.
"Hai, chiizu!"
The two girls said the Japanese phrase that was commonly used when taking pictures, and Drake also pressed the shutter button in cooperation. The smiling faces of two beautiful girls were left in the picture.
The girl took back the phone, thanked him, but didn't leave, instead saying with a red face, "Big brother, can I exchange contact information with you?"
Drake chuckled. He said how so many girls in the amusement park had asked him for help. It turned out that they had other intentions.
But this kind of experience was really novel. It was the first time Drake had been picked up. After Drake politely refused, the girl also walked away with a disappointed face.
But Drake's mood also improved. He happened to see that Enmado Rokuro and the others had gone to ride the carousel.
Enmado Rokuro was holding onto the railing, looking at Adashino Benio and Sae on the carousel.
Damn winner in life. This could already be considered having both a wife and a daughter, right! I'll give this guy extra training when we get back later!
Enmado Rokuro couldn't help but shiver. He suddenly had the feeling of being stared at by something.
Drake looked at Adashino Benio, who was always expressionless, and Sae, revealing smiles together, and couldn't help but be a little dazed.
Before, Drake had told Igneel that he would never lose his human heart.
But at this time, Drake had a deeper understanding of the so-called "human heart."
Drake would not and did not want to become a "hero" who saved the world, and even more hated the "holy mother" who was full of sympathy.
From beginning to end, Drake only wanted to save and protect his family and companions.
And as Drake became stronger, he could do more things.
After being reminded by Igneel, Drake also began to think about his own path.
Now seeing this plain but warm scene, that kind of emotion gave Drake a feeling of enlightenment.
What was good should always be good. Drake didn't want to see any regrets, and only wanted to let the good continue.
Sae kept playing until dark, and finally fell asleep on Enmado Rokuro's back after riding the Ferris wheel lit up with colored lights once.
Although Enmado Rokuro and Adashino Benio were a little tired after playing all day, they felt relaxed in their hearts.
All the way from the Starfire Lodge to Kyoto, it was either fighting or Drake's hellish special training. Although the two hadn't complained, they had been tense and exhausted in their hearts.
Especially during the Kyoto battle, Yuto Ijika's reappearance made the two feel like a layer of haze had enveloped them.
And today, Sae's smile was as warm and illuminating as the sun, filling the two with fighting spirit again.
Even to protect that smile, the two would continue to work hard to become stronger.
Then the two found Drake for special training at night, and as a result, the two were so tired that they lost consciousness in the training ground.
Drake directly threw the two into a futon... He had learned it from Tsuchimikado Arima. Please call Drake a good person. You're welcome.
As for the fact that Enmado Rokuro had two panda eyes the next day, it had nothing to do with Drake.
After staying in Kyoto for two days, the group was about to return to Narukami Town.
I almost forgot that Enmado Rokuro and Adashino Benio were already high school students. This time, they had taken leave from school because of the Dragon Black Spot. Now that the matter had been resolved, the two had to return to school.
Of course, Drake also returned to Narukami Town with them. The main reason was that the most likely location for Yuto Ijika to appear was where Enmado Rokuro was.
After solving him, and then dealing with Abe no Seimei, Drake could safely leave this world.
Yuto Ijika's injuries last time were likely healed through the Heavenly Pillar. So he should already know the truth about the Twin Stars, and also understand what kind of existence he was.
In Abe no Seimei's plan, Yuto Ijika was a redundant existence, with neither a mission nor a reason to exist.
For Yuto Ijika, the only person like him in this world was Enmado Rokuro, and fighting with this kind was the most important meaning of his life.
So he would definitely go to find Enmado Rokuro. Even if he didn't have this idea, Abe no Seimei would guide him to this path.
Because Yuto Ijika, this redundant existence, also had a use in Abe no Seimei's eyes, that was to stimulate Enmado Rokuro's Star Destroyer King's power.
And Drake was waiting for Yuto Ijika to appear, and then end his meaningless... no, his life of abandoning the search for meaning.
