After 15 days.
Inside Kijin Hall.
"Here's where the High Level Demon known as Kijin is sealed," Guren said upon entering the hall full of oni masks.
"It's so hot," Yuu said, undoing his shirt collar to make it easier to breathe.
"Arata!!" Yuu exclaimed in astonishment upon seeing Arata surrounded by Black Flame.
"..." Guren stared at Arata silently and didn't say anything.
"He's turning into Namanari," said a pretty woman with light purple hair and red eyes, as she stared intently at Arata's naked body.
This girl was Hiiragi Mahiru, Shinoa's older sister, and the genius behind making Cursed Gear.
"But there's something strange," murmured Mahiru as she analyzed Arata, who seemed to be very comfortable with his transformation into Namanari.
Normally when a person transforms into Namanari, Demons will fight back as an instinctive reaction, but Arata's body doesn't seem to show a normal reaction, which is why Mahiru was very interested.
"It's your chance if I want you to kill him to silence him," Mahiru whispered in Guren's ear as if trying to seduce him, which is what she's really trying to do.
According to Mahiru, Arata was undisciplined and knew a lot of things he shouldn't have known.
"Shut up, Demon!" Guren whispered, pulling his gaze away from Arata and looking at Yuu and the others.
"Why is Arata here, Guren?" Yuu asked seriously, because Arata had disappeared for half a month and nothing was known about him.
"Arata has initiated the Demon Contracting Rite, so don't disturb him, choose a weapon, and enter the contracting circle," Guren said, ignoring Yuu's question.
Although Yuu was annoyed that Guren ignored his question, he decided it was more important to obtain the Cursed Gear first.
As Guren commanded, Yuu and the others went to the weapons they wanted, looked at Arata for a moment, and entered the circle of knots.
"Did anything happen, Mito, Shigure?" Guren asked, looking at the red-haired beauty and the black-haired beauty.
Shigure hasn't left the place since Arata started the knot ritual, and on the second day Mito joined her and they never left the hall, even the food Sayuri was preparing for them.
"No, not yet," Shigure replied calmly, but anyone who knew her well would know that she was very worried.
As they spoke, the temperature dropped, and the Black Flame enveloping Arata's body receded.
"I hope you will find peace in your next life," whispered Arata, opening his eyes. "As for the Shikama Doji, leave it to me."
Arata got up from the ground and stood on his feet. He felt a great strength in his body and wanted to experience it, but he stopped when he saw two people jumping on him.
"Arata!!" x 2
Mito and Shigure both shouted at the same time and hugged Arata without noticing that he was naked.
"..." - Arata didn't say anything and hugged Mito and Shigure silently while patting their backs to comfort them.
As they rested, Arata thought about Benimaru's memories, which he obtained during the fusion.
It's true that not only did Arata get Benimaru's power, but he also got his memories and absorbed part of them.
Benimaru was someone who had lived for more than 1,000 years, so Arata didn't dare absorb all of Benimaru's memories at once so that it wouldn't affect him.
Arata was only 16 years old, and if you add his past life, it wouldn't be more than 50 years old, which is why he didn't dare to absorb more than 1,000 years of memories.
Absorbing another person's memories was extremely dangerous, and in the case of Benimaru, who had lived for a very long time, it was even more dangerous.
"Ahem, I know I should shut up, but Arata, you're naked," Sayuri said shyly, covering her face, but there was a gap between her fingers, which allowed her to see Arata's dragon.
"Kyaaaa!!" Mito yelled and quickly pulled away from Arata, her face red as a tomato.
In contrast to the noisy Mito, Shigure turned away silently, a clear blush on her face.
"I'll go get some more clothes for Arata," Saying this, Mito rushed out and quickly felt her heart beating so fast as if it was going to explode.
"Then what happened to you?" Guren asked, not caring that Arata was naked from head to toe.
"I'll tell you later in private," Arata refused to answer and grabbed Mahiru's head, who was curiously examining him, and blew it into a mist.
"Hey!" - Mahiru protested with a gentle pout at Arata's head smash.
"..." - both Arata and Guren ignored Mahiru because she would get more annoying if they paid attention to her.
Nobody said anything, and the room was silent, and nobody did anything except for Shigure and Sayuri, who were glancing at Arata's body from time to time.
After a while, Mito returned with Arata's clothes, and Hiiragi Shinoa was next to her.
"Thank you, Mito," said Arata, and took the clothes from Mito and quickly put them on.
After getting dressed, Arata stood in the corner away from Guren with only Shigure and Mito with him.
"Sorry to bother you," said Arata, looking at the visibly tired Mito and Shigure.
"It really worried me... so don't do that again," Mito said in a tsundere style, then silently hugged Arata.
Shigure hugged Arata and enjoyed the familiar warmth.
Four years ago, Arata was taken in by Guren and his comrades, and Mito and Shigure were the ones taking care of him, which is why the three had a very good relationship.
Because of his relationship with Mito and Shigure, Arata decided to cooperate with Guren because his only hope was Guren, but now with the system, there must be a way to save Mito, Shigure, and the others.
"That's right, it's been a while since I logged in." - Arata remembered the order to log in now.

"Looks like I'm the first to wake up" - At this time, Kimizuki, who was the first to finish contracting with Demon, woke up.
"..." - Arata looked at Kimizuki for a moment, then looked at Guren, ignoring them and focusing on Status.
