After Kiyotaka used his pyramid setting, Kenta ended up in a world created by Kiyotaka himself. Sand everywhere and a huge pyramid in front of him on which Kiyotaka stood.

"Now you will die Kenta." Kiyotaka said with great confidence.

"We'll see about that, Kiyotaka," said Kenta.

"Of course we will." said Kiyotaka with a short laugh.

"Well, I'm not going to let a pervert get away with it," Kenta said teasingly.

"You're a dead man Kenta." Kiyotaka said with anger.

Kiyotaka raised his arms and created a huge ball of sand.

"Sand avalanche!" yelled Kiyotaka.

The sand ball flew towards Kenta while Kiyotaka made several and fired them one after the other.

"Shit." Kenta said as he squatted down.

Kenta raised his hands to the sandballs.

"Firecharge!" Kenta shouted.

Just before the sandballs arrived, Kenta's Firecharge struck.

Firecharge is a huge charge of fire and magma mass that he fires at once to either protect himself or cause huge damage to others. Costs a lot of god aura.

Kiyotaka was completely hit by Firecharge but still stands because he put armor on his skin with his hand to reduce the damage. Which did him little good in the end.

"Not bad Hephaestus' successor." said Kiyotaka, coughing.

"Now we seem to see who has the upper hand, don't we?" Kenta said with confidence.

Kiyotaka's pyramid settlement has crumbled and they are back in the real world.

"Oh thank God!" Shiori said as she ran straight to Kenta when he returned.

Shiori hugged Kenta directly, but Kenta immediately turned back to Kiyotaka.

"Give me one reason why I shouldn't kill you," Kenta said.

"Who's talking about killing Kenta? I can still be very useful to you. But it's up to Mordred to decide my future," said Kiyotaka, exhausted.

"Who's talking about you being useful to me?" said Kenta.

"I'll do it. Shiori alone is a reason for that." said Kiyotaka.

"Pervert." Shiori said quietly.

"That should be a reason why I should kill you. Shiori doesn't want that, so I can't accept it." Kenta said as he held his katana to Kiyotaka's throat.

"If you want to kill me, do it! Your divine soul will fall into darkness! The God of Darkness and Mordred can then kill you or win you over for them much more easily!" Kiyotaka said angrily and confidently.

"I'll never be for them." said Kenta as he stabbed Kiyotaka right in the heart.

"Before I go, grab your god aura in your arm and take out my power. Give it to someone who can use it. Mordred has no control over me right now because my death is almost here. Mordred is not yet at his peak with his power, he still has to increase it to get your power. He's buying time with us to distract you so he can rebuild his strength! Kenta be careful, he'll get you," Kiyotaka said with a clear mind.

Kenta does as he says and pulls a bullet out of his chest. This is a sign that Kenta can also use the god power absorption.

"I think I recognize Mordred's plan now," Kenta said with confidence.

"He manipulates his people like Kiyotaka to attack us. His strength is not at its peak... Then it's time to get much stronger very quickly to defeat him before he has a power." said Kenta.

"That's a good idea Kenta. But where are Suzume and Jin?" asked Shiori.

Kenta looked at the way Shiori came to him. Kenta froze in shock and ran over to Suzume.

Suzume was stabbed several times in the chest. She died.

"This can't be true! How did it happen? Who could have killed her when I was watching Kiyotaka the whole time?" Kenta said as he looked at Suzume's body in shock.

Kenta and Shiori are in shock. Completely clueless. Jin is missing. Suzume has died and questions and questions arise.

Kenta took Suzume's god power and put it in his bag together with Kiyotaka's.

"We can't leave her here." Kenta said with a tear-streaked face.

Kenta took a white blanket out of his bag and put it over Suzume. He then carried her away.

"We should go back to Kyoto. Explain to Suzume's family what happened and bury her there. That would be the right thing to do," Kenta said desperately.

"Yes, that would be best." Shiori said with a broken voice.

Kenta carried Suzume in his arms and walked all the way to their home in Hamamatsu. They took all their things with them and went straight to the station where they took the first train to Kyoto.

Once on the train, they carefully laid the body down and took their seats.

"I never thought we'd go back to Kyoto so soon," Kenta said as he looked at Suzume's body, suppressing tears.

"Kenta...." said Shiori in a broken voice, hugging Kenta directly.

"We'll make it...it will be anything but easy, but we'll overcome it together. Just like always, right?" Shiori said as she suppressed her tears and sank her head into his shoulder.

"Yeah, somehow we'll make it..." Kenta said as he hugged Shiori.

"I want to avenge them. I want to avenge Suzume." Kenta said in frustration.

"We have to concentrate on Mordred, Kenta. The murderer will still get his punishment, but not from you or me for now," said Shiori to calm Kenta down.

The train set off and they both sat down in their seats.

Who would have thought that they would be back home so quickly.

And who expected such a tragedy?

And who is Suzume's murderer?
