Saito finally completed one of the tasks from the celestials and is now walking alone, in a dark forest, on his way home. With his hands behind his head, he walks with a free gait and heals his wounds with his rune. He recently killed a demon who stole young girls and then tortured them.

Saito heard something... A rustling and the flapping of wings... He thought it was a bird, but for safety's sake, he pulled out his scythe.

Meanwhile, Gabriel was watching Saito... It had been four years since their last encounter. Now, Gabriel would protect Saito... No more would he be left alone.
