The Date Continues!

"You're still covered in fur, huh?" My gramps says when he gets back. He, Kallen, and Kagiyama have been healed. Their injuries have vanished like they never existed. I just nod and someone runs up to Kallen.

"We've got a report on the harvest. There are 15 Oni corpses. There aren't any other harvestable resources here." He says before Kallen nods and thanks him. He turns around and walks back toward the bodies we laid out.

"15 Oni, that's like a gold mine." Kagiyama says. He turns to me and my gramps. As he does my tails extend over me again. The feeling of heat comes over me again. This time it's all over me. It fades away, starting with my head and working its way down. Once it's done, my tails disappear.

"You're back to normal." My gramps says, stating the obvious. I nod and Kallen coughs.

"Now that you're back, we need to split the resources. We c-" Kallen starts before my gramps interrupts him.

"No, you guys take them. I barely did anything." He says with a shrug.

"I've already got mine, remember? My powers turned the seven I slayed into raw materials. So you can keep the others and split them how you want." I say and he nods.

"So how many did you kill?" My gramps asks, curiously.

"Seven, and one Chieftain." I say tauntingly and he scoffs.

"Eric, what was that spell? The one you used to fight the Chieftain?" Hino asks me.

"It wasn't a spell. It was this necklace." I say making my Moonlight Necklace visible. "It has the ability to transform me into a Werewolf for two hours. My Soul-Link with Bergeth changed it though. It made me stronger but limited my magic to only Ancient Beast magic and reduced the time by half. Also, I can only use it once a week." I reply and she looks at me amazed.

"If that's all, I'll be heading back." My gramps says and Kallen nods.

"Thanks for your help here." Kagiyama says as my gramps takes out a scroll. He opens it and it burst into flames. A moment later he vanished.

"We should get going too." Kallen says and the others nod. "Myla, do you want me to drive you home?"He continues and Myla shakes her head no.

"Eric, Hino, and I still have plans. If they're still up for it that is." She says while looking at me and Hino. I nod and Hino does the same.

"Okay. When will you be home for dinner, or will you be eating out?"

"We'll be eating out, but I might stay with Eric tonight. We have plans for late into the night." Myla says and her father nods.

"Okay, just let me know if you want me to come to get you." He says before taking a scroll out. He opens it and disappears.

"I assume it's the same for you Hino?" Kagiyama asks and Hino nods.

"We'll see you later then. Good luck Hino." Sugano says before taking a scroll out. She grabs her husband's arm and they disappear.

"So what exactly are these plans?" I ask and Myla chuckles.

"It's a surprise. But let it be known that we didn't leave the planning to just you." Myla replies and I smile.

"Okay, then let's got going." I say while grabbing them both by their waists. They each smile as I pull them close. I cast Exit Dungeon and we appear back in the movie theater. I see a woman near the entrance acting as a guard. She's wearing a janitor outfit while looking around. There's a small pair of tents on the opposite side of the room. One's blue and the other's pink.

"What are those for?" I ask and Myla chuckles.

"They're for privacy. We use them to change into our gear. We can't all just swap our clothes at will as you can. We can't have our people rushing in here while wearing armor after all." She says and I nod. She and Hino run into the pink tent to change before we walk up to the woman standing guard. She sees us and flinches before stopping us.

"Hey, where'd you three come from?" She asks, clearly worried she let someone slip by her.

"We were in the Dungeon. We got sucked in when it formed." Myla says before pulling out a metal badge from her Spacial Pouch. On it is the Silver Gardens sign. I can see a few letters but can't read them in the brief moment I see it. The woman quickly reads it before nodding and letting us pass. We leave the theater and stop outside.

"So where to now?" Hino asks and I shrug.

"I'm not sure. I hadn't planned for after this." I say and she nods.

"How about we go for a walk? The parks close and I'm sure it's not too busy. It is almost 5 now." Myla says and I nod.

"That sounds good, what do you think Hino?" I ask her and she nods. We start walking to the park. "Girls, how was the fight for you?" I ask, curious to learn what they thought of the Oni.

"It was tough. We only attacked from a distance, but I've never been so nervous. And they were very strong. I doubt my shield could've held against them." Myla says and I nod.

"They were fast too. I didn't think monsters that big, could run that fast. I wouldn't have been able to dodge them unless I got lucky." Hino adds.

"Myla, what kind of shield do you have?" I ask and she smiles.

"It's just an Enchanted Steel one. I don't want one made with special materials yet because I don't want to rely on it. I'm still learning how to properly use it. I'm good enough to fight with it, but I still have a ways to go. But it is enough for tough monsters. If I had more raw strength, it would even hold against the Oni." She replies as we get to the park.
