Kiyoshi awoke to have the brightness of the afternoon hitting his eyes directly. He looks up to see Lilly staring at him.
"Long was I out and what time it is." Asked Kiyoshi as he arose from Lilly's lap.
"It's only about twelve noon." Replied Lilly.
"Thank goodness." Replied Kiyoshi.
"The following day." Lilly giggled as Kiyoshi was in horrified shock as he was sleeping for over twenty-four hours.
"How can fall asleep for so long?" Shouted Kiyoshi as he forgot to call his master Sairon to give him an update on the mission.
"You were tired. You fought a super-powered assassin with the power of a commander. You're lucky to be alive. You're only human Kiyo." Replied Lilly as she tried to calm Kiyoshi down.
Suddenly Kiyoshi's pocket start glowing blue as Sairon was calling. Lilly quickly retreated into the as Kiyoshi answered Sairon's call.
"How was your mission, Kiyoshi?" Sairon remarked with a voice of concern.
"It was hard. The entity was a member of the Isamashii clan who was overtaken by a demon commander inside of Mempo mask. So it was difficult, to say the least." Replied Kiyoshi as he and Sairon continued their mission update.
"Isamashii clan. I thought they had died out. They were said to be top-tier warriors with only a few able to take down the nation. And demon commander, hmmm, now I understand why you took so long to update me. But now all that matter is that you are ok, and the mission is completed." Replied Sairon as he stroked his beard gently, overwhelmed by the turn of events that had happened.
"It's ok, am fine. What is the next mission?" Replied Kiyoshi, reassuring his master of his well-being.
"No mission right now. I want you to go to the town of Lilax Rejesha and take a few days off and restore your body. It is not up for debate either. Enjoy the rest of the day in Uragiri and, first thing in the morning, head to Lilax Rejesha. A hawk will be waiting there for you. Sairon out." With those Sarion ended communications with Kiyoshi as Kiyoshi sighs stating he was fine and didn't need a vacation let alone want one.
But Sairon was his master and he must follow his master's wishes regardless of his own opinion.
Lilly laughs as she manifests herself rolling on the ground. As she knows how much Kiyoshi hates to relax or take time off from the mission. Lilly flies up and grabs Kiyoshi by the arm as if they were a couple in a loving relationship.
"Let's go to the town and going shopping dear!" Proclaimed Lilly as she squeezes Kiyoshi's arm tightly to his displeasure, as he sighs and bows his head.
"I hate time off." Replied Kiyoshi as they trickled back to the town of Uragiri.
"Why, I never understood why you hated going on vacation or relaxing between missions?" Asked Lilly as she rested her head on Kiyoshi's shoulder as they stroll through the forest.
"Mission keeps my mind at bay. Am afraid if I don't keep myself occupied were my mind will wonder too." Replied Kiyoshi as an awkward silence filled the air of the forest.
Before either Kiyoshi or Lilly could say a word, the sweet melodies of someone playing the guitar could hear throughout the forest. Intrigued, both Kiyoshi and Lilly ran to where the beautiful music was coming from.
They soon arrived to see Hama sitting on a rock stringing a guitar. Hama smiles and was glad to see that Kiyoshi had finally awoken. She ushers the two to sit next to her as she continues playing the sweet and soft melodies of her guitar.
As she continues playing, she congratulates and thanks Kiyoshi for completing his mission and putting the vengeful spirit to rest peacefully. Kiyoshi nods his head and asked how the town was going and if his and Aina's battle affected the town.
Hama bows her head before answering. She remarks that they destroyed a fraction of the town from the rubble and other debris from the battlefield. Over a hundred people died and more were injured. Hama then smiles and remarks that even though their battle caused the people of Uragiri to suffer. It was more important than the battle took place to free this generation and future generations of the fallen warrior and for the fallen warrior to rest in peace.
Kiyoshi remarks that he is going to the town to see what happens and, thanks to Hama for her information, he and Lilly leave Hama and proceed into the town of Uragiri. As they enter the town, Kiyoshi asks Lilly how come Hama wasn't scared of seeing a woman make out of wood.
Lilly states that it is because she is using an illusion that makes her look like a young woman of Chinese descent with long red hair, grey eyes with a slim-thick body.
They soon arrive in Uragiri to see the horror that unfolded two nights ago. Boulders and trees completely crushed buildings and other infrastructure. The roads were destroyed as if something exploded from underneath them. Ambulance and other emergency services are still trying to rescue people from the chaos.
Kiyoshi remarks to Lilly if it was actually worth it, as it seems that they caused the people of Uragiri more problems than solutions. Lilly tells him as she holds on to his arm like a married couple that it may look bad now, but imagine how worst it could have been if Aina was allowed to roam free. She continues by noting that Kiyoshi did the right thing and sometimes the right thing is hard, but it must be done.
Lilly then kisses Kiyoshi on the cheeks as they continue walking through the town of Uragiri.
"Let's go back to the hotel and prepare for the next mission, sweetheart." Remarks Lilly as she gently rests her head on Kiyoshi's shoulder as he smiles and replies let's do that.
