After the intense battle between you and Mikado, your words changed his mind. He openly expressed his sympathy for the oni. This led to his being stripped of his position and moving to a rural prefecture as a Troop General.

When you met Mikado again, it wasn't as acrimonious as before. You easily became close. You apologized, still feeling guilty about his demotion, and he shook his head. "It's not your fault; I chose this path. Our previous battle proved you're strong. I hope you can continue fighting for justice." He smiled and stroked your head.
