Bargain with the summoned

After Gabriel left, Anastasia made her way to where Dante stood and inquired, "Everything okay?" 

"It is," Dante replied, offering her a warm smile. 

"Tomas has been eagerly waiting for you in the backyard," Anastasia informed him. Her younger brother, who had seen Dante fight, was keen to learn from him. 

"Let us go there then," Dante said, and they walked towards the back of the Flores house. 

During the night, when everyone was fast asleep, Dante made his way to the back of the house again and met up with Migdre. The imp had brought a small bag containing tiny bottles and something else mentioned on the list that was indicated with an underline. 

"Everything has been checked, Master," the imp whispered. 

"Mm," Dante hummed in acknowledgment, his eyes raking through the items, and he looked around to ensure no one was present. He commented, "The land here is fertile and pure, making summoning easier."
