The sky was sunny as usual, as Tahara had continued with his warm-up as usual. He received the same rewards for finishing the quest as before because nothing had changed since he vanquished Murayama Teiljo. His dual sword was quickly taken from the screen, and he sat down quickly. He had defeated the Graveyard Devil, but he had not gained any real benefits from it; maybe this was because the demon had been vanquished by another person. Just then, Otake and Robertson—who were drenched in perspiration—appear behind him.
“What were you guys doing?” he asked, staring at them from head to toe.
He suddenly noticed them holding their swords, as Tahara let out a sigh and then smiled.
“Why the smile?” Otake asked, raising his sword towards Tahara.
Tahara didn’t seem to respond as he touched the tip of Otake’s blade before rising. Robertson who was slowly sneaking behind Otake suddenly raised his sword ready to strike at Tahara when he sped backwards.
