*****

Two Exorcists had visited me without an appointment, it would be fair if I visit their place too, right?

I had never been overseas before, so I didn't know how to get there. So, I went back to my mansion to pick someone. This was a good time for me to get him what I promised.

I teleported back into my room in my mansion and took one of the Phoenix Tears that I got from Sirzechs. I got 2 for myself, while I gave one Phoenix Tear to my old man for him to use in case of emergency.

After I got the Phoenix Tear, I went to the courtyard of my mansion while being greeted by the youkai that was running around the mansion.

"Good morning, Riku-sama!" Shouted a chibi youkai that had smooth white skin.

"Morning, Riku-sama!" Greeted another youkai that was hanging on the ceiling.

"Ou! Do you guys know where Masaomi is?"

"Masaomi? Ah, he's in the dojo!" The white chibi youkai answered as it raised its hand.

"Yeah, he's training!" Added the other.

"Thank you, I will bring you something good later."

"Something good? Ohagi!"

"Yay! Ohagi!"

They began to dance with each other while shouting Ohagi repeatedly.

I laughed seeing their dance and finally I headed towards the Dojo to meet Masaomi. Entering the dojo, I saw Masaomi was struggling to swing a wooden sword with his fake legs. He wore a white hakama which suited him for some reason. Seeing that, I really felt bad because I didn't give him the Phoenix Tears faster.

"Masaomi!" I shouted at him from the entrance of the dojo while crossing my arms to get his attention.

He stopped swinging his sword and turned to me while wiping the sweat that was formed on his face with his sleeves.

"Oh, Riku-sama? What are you doing here?" Asked Masaomi as he smiled.

I smiled at him while approaching him. I took the Phoenix Tear from my pocket and handed it to him, "Drink this and you will get your legs back."

Masaomi took the Phoenix Tear with a surprised face. He held it with both of his hands after he discarded the wooden sword to the floor.

"This is… Could it be?!"

"Phoenix Tear, as promised, I will give your legs back."

"Thank you… really, thank you very much." Said Masaomi as he sat down on the floor.

He began to take off the fake legs that he used all this time and opened the Phoenix Tear bottle cap. But, when he was about to drink the Phoenix Tear, I stopped him.

"Wait."

Masaomi stopped and looked at me with a confused face. I ignored him and extended my right hand towards the Phoenix Tear and touched it.

"Phoenix Tear will have its healing effect enhanced, it will be able to cure anything, even growing a new limb."

I used my Sacred Gear to change the probability and it drained more energy than I thought. It drained more energy compared to my fight with Vali, which meant I will not be able to change something inevitable.

Phoenix Tear was able to heal any wound, but I don't really know if it will be able to grow a limb. Even Azazel in the canon was using a fake arm instead of healing it with Phoenix Tear, so I need to do this much to make sure.

"You may drink it now."

Masaomi nodded his head and gulped the Phoenix Tear. The sight that happened next was a bit disgusting. His flesh around his legs began to move and it grow into new legs slowly. Masaomi was screaming in pain and he threw away the empty flask from his hand.

I looked away as I scratched the back of my head with my right hand. Somehow, I felt bad again giving him the Phoenix Tear. The sight was too gruesome even for me who cut Freed's head and Masaomi stray devil form's legs… right, I was the one who cut his legs.

Masaomi's scream stopped after a minute and then he called out to me. "Riku-sama… thank you"

I turned to look at him who was now standing with his own legs with a smile on his face. He pulled up his Hakama and showed me his new legs.

"I can now serve again to the fullest."

He bowed his head to me as he said that.

"Don't worry about it. More importantly, do you know the way to the Church Headquarters?"

Masaomi raised his head and blinked a few times, "Church Headquarters? I believe they were based in the Vatican."

"Can you teleport to the Vatican?" I asked Masaomi as I smiled.

"I tried teleporting a few times and it was a success. I believe I can teleport to Vatican."

Hearing Masaomi's answer, I transformed into my youkai form and closed my right eye.

"Then let's go to Vatican. We have a Church to visit."

Masaomi looked at me with his eyes widened in surprise, "What happened this time, Riku-sama?"

He let out a sigh as if he expected something big happened. Well, I just want to visit the Church and meet one of their higher-ups to talk about something.

"Two Exorcists named Xenovia Quarta and Shido Irina had visited me earlier. They didn't believe what I said, so I wanted to talk to their higher-up, it's that simple."

Masaomi's body stiffened when he heard Irina's name. Well, that was to be expected, after all, Irina was the daughter of his friend.

"Shido, was it? Was he there too?"

"Who?" I asked Masaomi while tilting my head a little.

"Please don't act dumb, Riku-sama. You definitely investigate me and my origin, there was no way you would accept someone like me in your Hyakki Yakkou without even investigating me."

Masaomi laughed as he said that. I didn't do it though. I just knew from my fragmented memories from my previous life. I had forgotten most of my previous life because I thought it was unnecessary in this life, but I still remember some big events in the canon.

"Hahahaha, that's why let's visit Vatican. There was a third person that came with the Exorcists, but I don't know who that person was. Find it by yourself in Vatican."

"Well, that's fair. Then let's go, Riku-sama."

Masaomi approached me and then a blue magic circle appeared under our feet. The next thing that my eyes saw was a European building and a marvelous Church in front of me.

"We've arrived, this is the Church that was used as Headquarters in Vatican City." Said Masaomi.

I smiled as I took a step forward, "Let's intrude them."
