Two individuals expressed their gratitude as Ryūji saved a middle-aged woman. They approached her, and she nodded appreciatively in Ryūji's direction. However, Ryūji appeared unaffected by the situation. As the two individuals walked away, they glanced at Akudama, who looked genuinely confused and gave him a disapproving glare. Akudama's face showed astonishment as he hurriedly approached Ryūji, saying, "You see?" Ryūji turned around and asked Akudama, "What did you observe, my master?" Akudama hesitated to respond and simply replied, "Never mind, let's keep moving."
As they continued walking, Ryūji's gaze scanned the surrounding crowd, and he whispered to himself, "So many women and children..." Akudama glanced at him but didn't pay much attention, simply continuing on their way. However, Ryūji turned to Akudama and suggested, "Can we find a penthouse to relax in for the night? We can enjoy a good breakfast in the morning and then find a nice place for dinner." Ryūji's face carried a slight smile as he made the suggestion. Akudama nodded in agreement and replied, "Okay."
After Akudama realized he didn't have enough money to pay for the penthouse and food, he looked shocked and worried. Sensing his distress, Ryūji turned his body to face Akudama and asked if he was okay. Akudama admitted, "Yes, I'm worried. I don't have enough money to cover the expenses for the penthouse and food."
However, Ryūji smiled once again and raised his hand, reassuring Akudama, "It's okay. I've got it covered, you know. I have everything you could desire, my master. I will buy the penthouse and the food." Akudama felt a sense of guilt for putting such responsibilities on Ryūji but decided to let it go, trusting in his words.
Akudama's smile widened as he responded to Ryūji, saying, "Okay, and thank you for your help." Ryūji smiled back and reassured him, "No problem, don't worry. I'm a very strong guy and can handle a lot of things for you." While Akudama felt slightly underestimated by Ryūji's confidence, he decided to let it slide and simply replied, "Okay."
The leader, who had sent two sorcerers to attack Ryūji and Akudama, was confronted by one of them expressing confusion. The sorcerer questioned, "Isn't Ryūji one of us?" The leader grew angry and responded, "No, he isn't. He betrayed us. Now I want you guys to find him and that demon and eliminate them, using all of your abilities."
The two sorcerers were a boy named Ebiru, also known as the Regeneration God, and a girl named Izumi, the Queen of Explosion.
Ebiru has a distinct curtain hairstyle with green hair and dark orange eyes. He typically wears a white cloak and white clothing, which adds to his unique appearance.
On the other hand, Izumi possesses long black hair and striking red eyes. She, too, dons a white cloak and white clothing, complementing her overall attire.
Both Ebiru and Izumi have been assigned the task of hunting down Ryūji and Akudama, tracking them to their respective locations of residence.
As Ebiru and Izumi continued their journey, Ebiru expressed his frustration, asking Izumi how much longer it would take to reach their destination. He felt as if they had been walking for hours. Izumi turned around and reassured him, saying, "Don't worry, it has only been two hours. We'll get there soon."
Ebiru was annoyed by her response and retorted, "Are you an idiot? I just said it has been two hours. How can it take this long to travel? Can't you hear me, little girl?" Izumi, now with an angry tone, responded, "Don't call me a little girl!"
Ebiru looked shocked and scared by her reaction, and he quickly replied, "Uh, okay."
After enjoying a delicious bowl of ramen that Ryūji purchased, Akudama and Ryūji couldn't contain their excitement and exclaimed, "THIS IS GOOOOODDDDD!!!!!" The surrounding people, including some intoxicated individuals, turned their attention towards them. Realizing they had drawn attention, Ryūji and Akudama quickly covered their mouths and walked away.
Akudama, in that moment, felt like he had found his first friend in life, and it brought him a sense of joy. Ryūji then suggested, "Okay, let's go to a penthouse where we can relax and get some rest." Akudama was delighted by the idea and responded, "Let's go."
As they arrived at the place to get a penthouse, the owner informed them, "It's on room 119." Without hesitation, Ryūji grabbed Akudama's hand and dashed towards room 119. They swiftly opened the door, and Akudama was taken aback by Ryūji's boundless energy. However, he couldn't help but smile and remark, "Now we're here."
Ryūji surveyed the room, finding it quite beautiful. There were two beds, and both of them jumped onto the same bed simultaneously, landing on their heads. Realizing their mistake, Ryūji suggested to Akudama, "You can choose this bed if you want, my master." Akudama replied, "Nah, you can have it for yourself... I'll take this bed." Ryūji began to protest, but Akudama interrupted firmly, saying, "Like I said, it's yours. That's an order." Ryūji nodded in understanding and joined Akudama on the bed they had chosen.
