~Timeskip:Three Months Later~
A long three months have passed as both the Demon Hunter Organization and the Messie Déchu fully recovered and strengthened their forces. Currently Ochita was sitting inside of the sanctuary of the church as he was offering up his prayer. By the time he was finished, he sensed the familiar mana of a single person. With a smile on his face, he turned around as he saw the look in her eyes.

"I must say, you improved quite a lot during these last three months. You truly have a lot of potential, Megumi-kun."

"You give me too much credit, Ochita-san. It was thanks to you and Ayumu-sensei that I even got this far. For that, you both have my gratitude."

As she said this, a smile formed on Megumi's face. Truth be told, the girl grew a little bit taller as her hair was a bit longer now. Not only that, she felt the biggest change of all. Her output with her powers and her control over her vampiric side was far greater than before her training.

"I wonder just how much Olivia and Shiki changed."

"Don't worry, Megumi-kun. The two of them should be here any moment now. You just have to be patient a little bit longer."

"You could tell what I was thinking, huh? I can't help it, we went our separate ways for three whole months. Obviously i'd be excited to see them again. Plus, don't you think our little group is pretty amazing, Ochita-san?!"

As Megumi said this, Ochita stopped as if to ponder her statement. A cursed priest, a human/vampire hybrid who's ancestors drunk the blood of a raiju, a mage who possessed the ability to absorb mana within the area and manipulate it to her will, and finally a boy free of all mana and cursed energy while being blessed with eyes that could kill almost anything as well as having the Nanaya blood within him.

"You're correct, Megumi-kun. Our group is rather amazing."

"......Ochita-san....it's really rare for you to smile. Guess we've grown on you a bit, huh?"

Before Ochita could respond, they heard the doors to the church opening up. A strong wave of mana could be felt crashing down on them like an ocean. By the time they saw the person walking in, the two executioners smiled as they saw Olivia standing before them with a smile on her face.

"Hey, Sendai Branch! It's been a while, hasn't it."

"Olivia!"

As Megumi jumped towards Olivia and gave the girl a hug, Olivia couldn't help but smile as she pats the head of her kouhai. Meanwhile, Ochita was still in shock by what he felt earlier. Olivia was already considered one of the strongest mages of the new generation, now she managed to get even more powerful. Things were looking up for the organization as its manpower has definitely increased.

"Geez, you're as monsterous as ever, Olivia. How am I gonna impress our junior with you around?!"

"Oh, chill out, Megumi. Shiki can't even sense mana anyways, so he probably wouldn't tell who has more power."

"You're right, I guess that's tru-"

"You shouldn't be talking about someone behind their backs."

Olivia, Megumi, and Ochita all looked over to the pew in the front row as they saw Shiki sitting alone as he was playing a game on his phone. This one simple action told the three executioners many things. It was already a given that they couldn't sense him since Shiki lacked any mana or cursed energy to sense. Not only that, he was fast and quiet enough to go through the doors and sit in the front pew undetected. Yet something was off about him.

"This is........Koritsu Shiki, right?"

Even from where they were standing, the group of experienced executioners felt it. They felt as if they were in the range of an attack. One that could fatally end all of them in the blink of an eye. They don't know what kind of training the boy did, but one thing was certain. A monster in human clothing was born as a result of it.

"Hey.....how come you all got excited for each other's return and not mine? Even I have feelings too!"

"Now he's pouting?!"

Seeing his expression, Olivia and Megumi both looked at each other before nodding their heads. Suddenly the two of them lunged towards Shiki as they tackled him to the ground. As Olivia held down the boy, Megumi began to tickle him as Shiki was laughing uncontrollably.

"Ahahahahah. I give!!!! I give!!!!! Just stop!!!!"

"Oh no you don't. You wanted a happy reunion, you're getting one!!!!  Megumi, don't hold up the attack!!!!!!"

"Understood!!!!!!"

As the two girls were tormenting Shiki, Ochita could only look at the scene as a chuckle escaped from him. However, the moment he clapped his hands together, everyone stopped the shenanigans as they looked at the priest. Seeing that he has their attention, Ochita finally spoke up.

"I'm happy to see you all are well. As you know, we took three months for the organization to rebuild itself and to train ourselves. While this was a necessary move, this was also a risky one. Since this also gave our enemies time to do the same.

Ochita walked towards the center of the sanctuary. The moment he did so, he reached his hand towards the altar as he retrieved a file from underneath the cross. The moment he opened it up, he looked at the group as he was giving them the next mission.

"Listen closely as I will not repeat myself. During the three months we took to bolster our strength, Naoya Zenin took control of the chaos that sparked within the Zenin clan. As of now, he is effectively acting as their leader. The Zenin's don't care about loyalty, but power. Should Naoya have his way, the entire Zenin clan could go against the organization. That's why a Purge Designation has been placed on the entire Zenin clan."

Olivia and Megumi both had a look of shock on their faces. A Purge Designation is when a clan has been seen as too difficult to control, threatens to reveal the supernatural side to the public, or betrayed the organization entirely. With Naoya working for the enemy, all three applied to both him and the Zenin clan. Seeing the look on their faces, Ochita decided to continue his explanation.

"Shiranui Ouma has already selected the executioner they believe is fit for this important task. By the order of Shiranui Ouma, head of the Demon Hunter Organization, Koritsu Shiki has been appointed as the Zenin Clan's executioner."

Silence filled the room with what they heard. While Olivia and Megumi were shocked, the expression on Shiki's face didn't change in the slightest as he simply walked forward. The moment he stood in front of Ochita, he had one question.

"Where?"

"I take it that you accept this task. Shiranui said to meet them tomorrow in headquarters and they'll brief you on the whole subject as well as giving you the information needed for this mission, such as their base of operations. But you don't seem opposed to this decision in the slightest, may I ask why?"

"Because....there is someone in the Zenin clan I need to see again. This may very well be my best chance to do so."

~Meanwhile~
"So, they actually grew a pair and decided to execute us. Dammit."

As he was sitting alone at a park, Naoya was contemplating on what to do next. He had the whole Zenin clan backing him up, but depending on who they send to execute them, things could get problematic. Though a smile formed on his face as he took out his phone.

"Why am I even worried? I'm nothing like my father. Unlike that idiot, I am able to see true strength beyond simply sensing someone's cursed energy or even mana. Even some without mana or cursed energy at all can be a force of nature. That's why, unlike my father, i'll use him to the best of his abilities."

~????~
As he was seen sitting down enjoying his meal, one man saw his phone was ringing. A sigh was escaping his lips as he used his right hand to answer the phone while his left hand still held chopsticks as he continued to enjoy his meal.

"To think someone of the Zenin clan would go out of their way to reach me? Have you all fallen so low that you would come running to a powerless monkey like myself?"

"You are truly strong. Despite being born in a clan well known for their cursed techniques, even without cursed energy, I could tell when I first met you that you were strong. That's why I want you. The Zenin clan has been deemed worthy of execution. I want you to assist us in preventing that. By doing so, i'll even offer you 2 million yen."

The man laughed to himself inside his head. He was the one who gave the Demon Hunter Organization info on the enemy and the Cursed Treasures whereabouts while getting paid by the former Zenin clan head. Now he was getting offered even more cash by the current head of the family that was desperate to avoid execution. This was irony at its peak. The very clan who wanted nothing to do with him was now begging for his help.

"Fine then, send the money to my account then i'll gladly help you avoid destruction. After all......"

"......a family should help each other out, right?"
