Like just now, the little tapir had wanted to find the mutated dream creature, but instead came across a large group of masterless dream creatures at the unfinished building.
Mr. Funakoshi's efficiency in drawing out the mutated dream creatures might indeed be faster and more reliable than Kamiyagawa with the Dream Devouring Tapir and "The Mirror Beyond the Clouds" heading to the fourth subterranean level.
...
In the dream, that very night.
The exorcists parked their truck at an abandoned gas station on the outskirts of Setagaya Ward.
They planned to rest up and then carry out the plan to exterminate the mutated dream creatures the next day.
Inside the gas station.
Everyone took turns keeping watch, while the rest rested in pairs or in threes.
Kamiya and Onizuka sat resting beside the truck, where they could look up and see the brilliant Milky Way in the night sky.
For some reason, the other exorcists tacitly left these two young people some private space.
