Riko, kuroi and Geto were on an elevator going down on tengen layer.
Here Riko just looks up and her tears keep dropping down.
'Did he not want to see me off, that much! This might be our last time together.. Why didn't he accompany me till the end? why?" Riko was having a breakdown. she got really depressed thinking why Austin didn't follow her.
Geto can't bear it anymore so he spoke up,
" We'll be in Tengen-sama territory soon, (the main hall of the tomb of the stars).
Moving from here we will reach there, then you will have to go inside the special barrier, that's separate from the one surrounding jujutsu high.
Only those invited by Tengen-sama can enter there. From there on Tengen -sama will protect you until the assimilation."
Riko's look down, tears flow out from her eyes, hearing Geto's words. 'It cruel! but it's not his fault it's my fault for being born.' she was in the state of self doubting.
"That's or we can turn back around and go back home with others." Geto continued with a smile.
"Hah!!!" With what Geto just said, Riko and kuroi look shocked.
Seeing their reaction Geto still smilingly said,
"When our teacher told us about this mission, he called this assimilation( erasing ). He was trying to tell us to be aware of how much a sin this mission was.
Our teacher may be a muscle- brain, but he often does roundabout things.
Before we meet you Satoru and I have already talk about this... Also your boyfriend told me to respect your opinion.
So what is your choice Riko—chan."
The tears that were of sorrow and grievances now turn that of joy.
She happily hugs both Kuroi and Geto repeatedly thanking them.
"Thank you! thank you very much! thank you oji-san."
'Ojisan!' Here Geto was confused why Riko was calling him uncle.
"You are going to help me from now on. so, I am giving kuroi's hand to you, after all kuroi is a mother figure to me and she is single for 35 years. so I call you u uncle."
'This brat...' For the first time in his life Geto felt like cursing! He is 16 and here a 14 year old brat is calling him uncle. Geto doesn't want to argue with Riko so he turns to ask kuroi to help him in explaining.
But she was avoiding eye contact with him. 'what are you a teenager!! for god sake you are above 30 Sigh...'
Riko was feeling happy seeing geto face, 'that for teasing me calling Austin as my boyfriend.... we haven't even dated yet! ' * humpp.*

"Gojo are you alright? " I ask worriedly. As we both return to the place were we first come.
"No need to worry. I am totally fine! " Gojo replied with a faint smile," And it was thanked to you. Or else when I was unconscious something bad might happen."
"Well that true... Than you should compacate me right?" To my words gojo look at me with a face that says are you serious !
"Hey it is not much! I was going to ask you to help me and riko in joining jujutsu High." I said annoyed with the way he was looking at me.
"You have a blind belief that Aamani will return. Say, Are you in love with her? I mean you are around my age so I find it kind of creepy." Gejo started mocking me covering his mouth from bursting out laughing he said all of that holding his laugh.
Giving him a death glare I sigh and reply, " it not like that we are childhood friends... Um... if I put it that way... I like her but love... Don't know... Maybe some more time together might slove it!!" The previous Austin might love Riko but I am different. i pity her in the anime but to fall in love i need a little time... After all it has only been 3 days since I come to this world.
" Oh! is that so, not like I care! but for your request i can settle it later. For now let's go meet tengen- sama to talk about Amani.
"Ok,ok whatever you say- please lead the way." I sigh and followed gojo to meet with others and most importantly Tengen.

*Ding*
"Here they come!" Just as Geto said, the door of the lift opened and both Gojo and Austin come out.
"What happened to that man" Geto asked, to that I reply, " maybe In other dimension my tenique swallowed it."
"Yeah damn those hands were creepy if I didn't intervene in time by taking that man down. The whole mountain will be covered by it." Before me Gojo replied putting his hand around Geto's shoulder.
While Gojo were explaining about what happened Riko was looking intensely at me.
"Riko- chan" it was nerve waking being stared by someone like this.
Without saying anything she hugged me, I was surprised but I returned it by hugging her back and comforting her.
"Thank you! " She said to which I was confused, "for what?" Stepping back a little she replied "Nothing."
"Ok enough chit -chatting, lolicon. Tengen-sama has given his permission but only you, me and geto are allowed.
So Me and you, we will be going in. Geto will be by Amani and Miss kuroi side.
"Why me?" I ask confused.
" Well it is you who wants Riko to have her freedom right! then come." Saying that Gojo goes off alone.
"Sigh!! I will be back soon!" saying that I also follow gojo.
