Drake hadn't intended to make things difficult for Kurama to begin with, so he hadn't done anything as he watched Kurama leave.
Resolving Goki on the way hadn't wasted much of Drake's time at all, and Drake hadn't even been late for work.
After finding Yusuke Urameshi, Drake had directly thrown the Orb of Baast to him, asking him to tell Little King Yama to quickly get the information that he wanted.
Nothing else had happened during the rest of the day, and those little familiars that someone had placed in the school had also not affected Drake's mood.
Leaving work as scheduled, Drake had seen Stella, who had been busy in the kitchen, when he had gotten home.
Drake had loosened his tie, sitting down before the dining table, looking at Stella, who had quite a wife-like feeling.
People all said that cooking was the art of flame, but Drake, who could skillfully control flame, didn't have any talent for cooking.
The things that Drake made were only limited to being edible, and as for the taste, the best that he could get was the evaluation of not being difficult to eat.
Actually, Stella didn't have much talent for cooking either, but in order to become a qualified girlfriend, she had spent a lot of energy and time learning to cook.
Drake didn't think that a girlfriend had to be good at cooking, and didn't care about being a virtuous wife and loving mother, but he couldn't go against her, so he could only support her.
Dinner was steak, which was a dish that Stella was rarely good at. After all, as long as the quality of the meat was good enough, the taste wouldn't be bad as long as she controlled the heat well.
Stella had actually been constantly learning Chinese food that suited Drake's taste, but the results weren't very ideal at the moment.
Stella was already considering becoming a chef if she had the chance in the next world.
The two had exchanged what had happened today while enjoying their warm dinner.
After finishing eating, Drake had placed the washed dishes on the draining rack, opening his mouth, saying, "Tomorrow's a holiday, should we go somewhere to have fun?"
Stella was lying on the sofa, with a face mask on her face, eating potato chips while saying, "Okay! It just so happens that the development of the Fire Dragon Group has gotten on the right track recently, and I don't need to worry about anything.
I heard that a new arcade has opened up on the street next door, let's go take a look tomorrow!"
Drake had dried the water on his hands, walking over, saying, "Then it's a deal, but Stella, do you also like video games? I've never seen you play before!"
The action of Stella putting potato chips into her mouth had stiffened, there was no way that she could tell Drake that she and Shizuku Kurogane had played some kind of game that was commonly known as an eroge when she had been at Hagun Academy.
Shizuku Kurogane had preferred ones with brother-sister plots, while Stella had preferred one where the male lead looked just like Drake.
Actually, the developers of that game had liked to design game characters with famous Blazer as a reference, so the model for the male lead in that game had really been Drake.
In addition, there was also a character who had been modeled after Ikki Kurogane, and he had heard that there was also some kind of forbidden route hidden in the game, where the male lead and this character...
You could only say that his reputation had already been harmed without Drake knowing, and fortunately, Drake didn't come into contact with this kind of thing, otherwise, he wouldn't have even given that developer the chance to write a will.
Drake hadn't cared about Stella's suspicious silence, and had begun to plan the itinerary for the next day.
And it was indeed heaven's will, the next day was bright and sunny, which was perfect for going out. Drake and Stella had finished tidying up, and had then set off, heading to the arcade.
Arcades had actually already developed to the point where they were no different from what they were later on during this era, and apart from the fact that the technological limitations had caused many game graphics to not be so exquisite, most of those classic games had appeared.
With Drake and Stella's physical qualities and reaction abilities, they could handle most of the games with ease.
With a dark face, Drake had pulled Stella off of the dance machine, and he and her had then played several rounds of classic fighting games.
And then, after Drake had caught a stuffed animal in time, preventing a claw machine from being smashed by Stella, the two had gone to find a place to have lunch.
Drake had found a restaurant, and what was strange was that the restaurant was empty even though it was lunchtime.
There was only one table occupied in the entire restaurant, and the person sitting there was sitting in a position that was directly facing the restaurant door, and Drake and Stella had seen him as soon as they had entered the restaurant.
It was a man who you could tell was quite tall even while sitting there, with long hair that had been combed back, and a conspicuous scar on his left eye.
Although he was wearing a neat black suit, the deep aura on his body didn't make him look like an honest office worker.
Stella, who had been joking with Drake just now, had become serious all of a sudden, opening her mouth, saying, "It seems that he's come specifically to find us!"
Drake had the same feeling, but he had recognized this man's identity.
Sakyo, the well-deserved big shot of the dark world right now, so big that he could become the boss of the Dark Martial Arts Tournament, sending out his own participating team.
The so-called dark world wasn't just the yakuza, and all of the things that weren't suitable for ordinary people to know were included within it.
And Sakyo was the person who could influence the direction of the entire dark world, and the wealth that a big shot like him possessed was enough to be equivalent to the annual national budget of a developed country, and he was a veritable person who was richer than an entire country.
And this person Sakyo was even more complicated, after all, Drake had never been able to understand the thought process he had for wanting to open the demon world's passage.
But Drake wouldn't be afraid of him either, after all, he was just an ordinary human. And he was a person who valued aesthetics, even though he used any means.
So Drake and Stella had walked over together, sitting down before Sakyo.
Sakyo had taken the cigarette that he had been biting in his mouth off, opening his mouth, saying, "Allow me to introduce myself first, I am Sakyo, and my identity can be considered to be that of a merchant. I've always wanted to meet the leader of the Fire Dragon Group, so I've been waiting for the two of you here.
To compensate for my uninvited visit this time, I'll treat you to this meal, please order anything you like!"
Drake had taken the menu that a waiter on the side had handed over, but hadn't opened it, but had instead said to Sakyo, "Then we won't stand on ceremony, but let's make things clear before eating!
Mr. Sakyo has been able to take the time to meet us despite being so busy, and it shouldn't just be that he wants to get to know us. You can just say anything that you want to say directly."
Sakyo had smiled, saying, "I've heard that the two of you have been collecting information about Kanesada Kurama recently, are the two of you also interested in him?"
Drake had understood in a flash, opening his mouth, saying, "So Mr. Sakyo feels that we've stolen your prey, and has therefore come to warn us?"
Sakyo had stretched out his finger, shaking it, saying, "No, what I want to say is that we can cooperate. I imagine that the two of you aren't interested in Kanesada Kurama's money, are you?
In this way, we will have a basis for cooperation, and as a reward, I will help the two of you take over Kanesada Kurama's seat in the dark club."
Drake had spun the menu in his hand, opening his mouth, saying, "It sounds like a win-win idea, I have no reason to refuse."
"Then I wish us a pleasant cooperation! I won't disturb the two of you's time alone here any longer, I'll take my leave first!"
Saying this, Sakyo had stood up, had slightly bent his back, and had then turned around and left without hesitating.
Watching Sakyo's back disappear, Stella had said, "Something feels weird."
Drake had smiled, saying, "Of course it's weird, he said that he wanted to cooperate, but he didn't say what he wanted us to do."
Stella had also reacted, and couldn't help but ask, "That's right, then why did he come to find us?"
Drake had said, "That's because no matter what actions we take, the result that he wants will appear, he's really a confident guy!"
Stella had become even more confused, asking, "Then why did he still come to find us to cooperate? He can achieve his goal anyway."
"Who knows!" Drake had sighed, saying.
In the original plot, Sakyo hadn't cooperated with Yusuke Urameshi, and there must be his own goal for coming to find them this time.
Drake understood this very well, but he just didn't know what his goal was.
Drake didn't have any interest in understanding the way that a person with an abnormal logic thought, and as long as he still had the ability to flip the table, Drake wouldn't be afraid of what he was planning.
Sakyo had walked out of the restaurant door, and a man whose height was even above his had walked over.
"How was it?"
Facing Sakyo's question, the man's hard lines, which were like they had been carved by an axe, had moved a bit.
"How was what?"
The man's rhetorical question had made Sakyo smile before opening his mouth, saying, "You understand what I mean, and your mood is about to be unable to be suppressed, right!"
That's right, the muscles on the man's face had all tensed, revealing clear outlines on his skin, and that was a manifestation of the man being unable to suppress his inner emotions.
"Very strong! So strong that it makes me feel like my entire body is trembling even from this far away!"
Sakyo had lit a cigarette, saying with a smile, "Is that so! Then you won't have to work so hard to act then! But for there to actually be this kind of person, this world has become interesting as well!"
