The battlefield finally felt… quieter.
Not peaceful.
Just less hostile.
Kashimo stood off to the side, still catching his breath after the execution sequence, his expression unreadable now that the fight had fully settled.
Ryu leaned back slightly, rolling his shoulders like he'd just finished a long spar.
Uro hovered a little higher than before, still wary of the domain remnants.
Yuta stood near Takeru, watching him closely.
Hakari and Kirara remained at the edge of the group, already adapting to whatever direction this was going to take next.
Then—
a familiar winged skull shikigami popped into existence above Takeru's shoulder.
Bright.
Cheerful.
Completely unfazed by the aftermath.
"Kogane reporting!"
It spun once in the air.
"…You have now gained 593 points!"
A beat.
"…Your point value is now 1289!"
Ryu whistled softly.
"…That's a lot of points."
Hakari grinned.
"…Yeah, that's a lot of rules waiting to happen."
Kogane continued, still energetic:
"…Tokyo Colony 2 is now defeated!"
A pause.
"…Bring everyone to Tokyo Colony 1?"
Its skull tilted slightly.
"…I heard your plan to go to Yuji Itadori!"
Yuta straightened slightly.
"…That confirms it."
Uro clicked her tongue.
"…So the system is actively tracking movements now…"
Kashimo stayed silent, observing.
Ryu smirked.
"…Everything's getting funneled into one place."
Takeru nodded once.
Calm.
Decisive.
"…Yes, buddy."
A pause.
"…And make it all of us."
Kogane spun happily.
"…Okay!"
For a moment—
the air shifted again.
Not hostile.
Not heavy.
Just transition.
Kirara narrowed her eyes slightly.
"…That's a mass transfer request…"
Hakari stretched.
"…Guess we're moving again."
Yuta looked at Takeru.
"…We're going straight to Yuji."
Takeru nodded.
"…Confirmed."
Ryu exhaled through his nose, amused.
"…This group keeps getting bigger."
Uro crossed her arms.
"…And louder."
Kashimo finally spoke.
"…Yuji Itadori…"
A pause.
"…I'll see what kind of fight he is."
Takeru didn't respond.
He just looked forward.
And as the system prepared the transfer—
Tokyo Colony 1 became the next convergence point.
