"Supposedly Vatler, is scheduled to have a meeting with the two of us this afternoon," Hiko said who put his katana back into its scabbard. "But since you've already killed that super narcissistic vampire, it seems the meeting isn't going to take place. And I guess the hidden warlord empire side will try to find trouble with me, because of Vatler's death. I don't know what kind of demands they will try to make of me."
"Are you mad at me because I gave you trouble?" he asked.
"Hmm? Not really," Hiko replied casually. "Because even if you don't even kill Vatler. I will definitely kill him, since he dared to try to find trouble in my private island. Besides this is not my first time dealing with those vampires, so for me what you have done is the right thing, Touma. Instead of that, I'm more worried about the state of your mother who went berserk last night, because of the negative energy affecting her mind. Sigh your father really caused trouble by giving her a necklace made by Kagami."
"The necklace that father gave to mother? Is that thing that causes mother's mind to be confused so that she has difficulty forgiving Yukiko's grandmother?" he asked. "Where do you think you can get a necklace made by someone who almost killed me."
"I don't know either, because by using a special technique to see the past of an object I can't trace where Touya got the necklace at all," Hiko said who looked annoyed. "It's Kagami's trademark to cover up traces of crimes he committed using techniques I don't even know about. It seems I have to tighten my guard over Touya and Shiina so something like this doesn't happen again."
"Father probably won't be angry, because he's afraid of you," Touma said. "But grandfather did you know that mother would not accept that grandfather's actions. Because she want to live as a normal human being without any interference from anything abnormal and supernatural, even though in this world supernatural things have become something normal."
"I don't care what Shiina thinks, because for me the most important thing is the safety of my only daughter," Hiko said firmly. "So even if I have to be hated by my daughter, I will still do whatever it takes to keep her safe."
Touma could only agree with his grandfather's decision, because he himself realized that his grandfather's decision was the most reasonable.

After a brief conversation between Hiko and Touma, Hiko decides to take the shard from Nalakuvera and bring it back to his safe so he can fix it later. Touma doesn't understand why Hiko would want to repair a weapon as dangerous as the Nalakuvera, but Touma knows that it's none of his business.
Because Nalakuvera was a collection that belonged to his grandfather, after all he also didn't want to know about what his grandfather's goal was by repairing Nalakuvera.
Touma himself, lying down on the bodies of Sayaka and Yukina in the lobby of the Yuragi Sou clone. Then he went to the kitchen so he could get some food for Kasumi and Ukyo. Touma may have had a dimensional pocket where he could store a large number of objects, but he never stored any food in his dimension pocket except perhaps Senzu beans which Touma considered more healing medicine than food.
Touma walked very carefully and raised his guard to maximum level so he wouldn't run into Shizuka or anyone else he knew. After he got the food he needed Touma put all the food into his dimensional bag then went to the forest where Ukyo and Kasumi were waiting for him.
Unfortunately, no matter how wary Touma was, he still missed one small thing. Because he is too focused on the sensitivity of all the senses he has on people close to him. Touma didn't notice at all that Mikoto, who had just finished bathing in ofuro, saw him running towards the forest from the window of the room where he was staying with his mother.
Mikoto had no idea what Touma was doing by running towards the forest like that. But she felt suspicious of Touma, because Touma seemed to be in a hurry. She really wanted to chase Touma to find out what Touma would do. But after Touma's cold treatment of her this morning, she was afraid that Touma would do the same thing a second time.
But on the other hand he was worried about Touma because Touma was walking towards the forest where she accidentally seeing a two suspicious and dangerous looking people yesterday.
Mikoto knew that Touma was very strong because he could defeat the strongest Esper in Academy City. But Mikoto wasn't sure if Touma could beat the spider-shaped robot she saw yesterday. Mikoto could sense something dangerous, and the sense of danger she felt surpassed any sense of danger she could feel from Accelerator.
Finally Mikoto made a decision, she knew that it was impossible for her to be able to follow Touma, because that would be tantamount to looking for trouble so Mikoto decided to look for Shizuka who she knew was the girl who had the closest relationship with Touma. She would tell Shizuka her suspicions and then she would let Shizuka chase Touma.

Touma in an instant arrived at the place where Ukyo and Kasumi were waiting for him. Besides the food, he also didn't forget to bring a special women's kimono for hotel employees. Because he knew that the clothes worn by Kasumi and Ukyo were tattered. When Ukyo and Kasumi saw Touma coming with food, they both naturally felt happy. Because their stomachs were growling.
"Aaaah thank goodness!" Ukyo said as he devoured the bentou brought by Touma with gusto. "I haven't eaten all day and if Ran-chan is even a little late bringing food, I might faint."
"This bentou tastes is standard!" Kasumi said who ate as much as Ukyo. "But since I'm starving food with standard taste will be very delicious!"
Touma smiled as he saw Ukyo and Kasumi eating very well, he was happy and relieved because he could bring food for Ukyo and Kasumi on time. In his past as Ranma, Ukyo and Kasumi were two people who were quite precious to Touma. Of course he would never let them both feel hungry. He has lots of questions from Kasumi and Ukyo about what happened after he sacrificed himself so that Nodoka could be cured of her cancer.
But he postponed the question, because he didn't want to disturb Ukyo and Kasumi who were busy eating.
After Kasumi and Ukyo finished eating, he gave the kimono that he had taken secretly from the staff room earlier. So that Kasumi and Ukyo could at least change their tattered clothes. At first Kasumi and Ukyo were confused because Touma suddenly gave kimonos to the two of them. But after Touma pointed at their tattered clothes.
Kasumi and Ukyo's faces turned red. They forgot that their clothes were tattered because of the lightning strike and they needed new clothes, quickly the two of them grabbed the kimono that was in Touma's hands and then they started to change their clothes behind a big tree not far from where the two of them ate..
