She was promptly whisked back to Kyoto alongside their sister school's students causing her juniors to plead for her to stay with them.

"No!!! My trip to Kyoto!!" Kugisaki cried. "Yuri-senpai betrayed me!"

Miserable, they decided to eat hotpot once more in the dorms.

In the meantime, the eye-patch wearing student stopped their adviser for a moment while the rest, excluding Kamo, entered the van. "Hime-san, can I take him with me?" Pointing at the older male.

"Why?"

"I've got a mission soon and I need someone to help me," she explained.

"Why didn't you ask the others?"

"I can't." Cheekily smiling, as Iori figured it out. "Sure. Please make sure Kamo returns by the end of the week," stepping into the passenger seat. Yuri only bowed in thanks and waved as they drove away to the station.

"A 'mission', huh?"

"Yep."

He sighed. "How much of a field day can you even do?"

"Isn't dinner around midnight?"

"Still," he murmured. "Don't you have to report it?"

She stifled a laugh. "Don't you remember? I've got a fancy schmancy contract with the director," she explained in English.

Right. She did. That begs the question: "Is it assigned?"

"Depends?" Checking the time once more, it was roughly 6 o'clock. "2 hours, 30 minutes, or 4 hours?"

"30 minutes, first."

It was a rather simple mission, to exorcise some cursed spirits in the area. Then again, that's the basis of all missions. Unless people were involved.

It was now 8 o'clock. The venue changed from some fancy restaurant back to the Kamo Estate. "How inconvenient," she quipped. "They'll probably want me in some fancy kimono or something," she huffed before looking at him and his bandaged head. Softly, she began to wonder: "Can I heal you now? Nobody's watching."

Fed up, he shook his head, "you can cover it up but don't heal it. The others will get suspicious. Nobody knows you can use Reversed Cursed Technique freely either." Since only those on campus knew about the loss of cursed objects, ungraded cursed spirits attacking the students, and her own usage of cursed techniques, they couldn't be caught either way. She bit her cheek.

"Ungrateful brat," she muttered.

Striding, he only uttered: "Says the kid who nearly got executed."

"Oi-oi-oi, I didn't put all my trust in you for this rude behaviour," she quickened her pace. "Well regardless of the rudeness, it's better for you."

"However, considering the time, we should probably just teleport there. So I'll allow it for the night. Until 3 in the morning," he specified.

Just like that, they walked through a nearby window panel and arrived in his room. His head now completely unbandaged and without a single trace of injury. Opening a sliding door, a servant came forward, a bit surprised, and greeted them. "Welcome back, young master. A moment please." Spreading the news of their arrival. "Is there anything we can do?"
