After bidding farewell to the Medicine Seller at Takamagahara, the Substitute Paper Person, emptied of its life force by the Jealous Mask, finally couldn't hold on anymore and peacefully bit the dust.
Kamiyagawa's consciousness returned to reality.
The place he was currently in was "Via Inn," a decent budget hotel in Osaka.
It was near the train station, well-ventilated inside and out, and had a sense of openness. Kamiyagawa's room was on a high floor with a great view, and he could even see Osaka's nightscape while bathing through the window.
The charge here was 6,944 yen per night.
With the money earned from the Official Exorcist Organization and from exorcising the doll Evil Spirit "Koyabu" the last time, Kamiyagawa didn't have to live as frugally anymore.
He slightly elevated his spending when going out.
Compared to before, he could live more comfortably during his outings.
