Victory is achieved by Fujin and the three worlds when they defeat the demon clan. However the demon clans did not completely end. The women and children who had not previously fought and lived in the Abyss of the Spirit Sea were now being held and imprisoned in the Nobuhide imperial dungeon for a time. Because the empire is the closest to the Ocean of Spirits.
However, Fujin decides to visit Nobuhide's empire and meets Emperor Toshie, who leads the region to free the women and children of the remaining demon clans.
At first Nobuhide empire and other empires felt very objectionable and strongly opposed to Fujin's request. Because after all they are considered part of the demon clan and have contributed with the demon clan. And they too must be punished and destroyed! That's how they think.
But in the end Fujin vouch for him by using himself. He alone would end the rest of the demon clan if indeed they were dangerous. And Fujin would also punish himself with a lightning whip of the sky race if it did happen.
The lightning whip of the Sky God race was a very severe punishment and would leave those who were hit with the punishment severely injured and would not be able to use their spiritual power in a week. To recover also requires a long time. And everyone knows that.
In the end, due to Fujin's determination and persistence, emperor Toshie Nobuhide unleashed the remaining demon clans. But they did not allow him to remain in Nobuhide territory. In the end, Fujin invites them to go to the Fumio Empire. Because the Zhou emperor had also considered everything and allowed Fujin to do so.
They were weak women, helpless old women, and very innocent children. And all this time they did not contribute fully in the slaughter that the demon clans had carried out. That was how Fujin and the Zhou emperor thought. They do not deserve to be punished or destroyed.

Meanwhile in Itsuki empire.
Saika was still lying unconscious for 5 days. Butterfly poison that had been lodged in his body, as well as wounds on his body made his body vitality decrease drastically. Although his condition had improved, he had still not regained his consciousness.
Emperor Yaoyao provided the best care and treatment. Although she had just been mourning after the death of Nouhime's wife, she had promised to look after and care for Saika like her own daughter.
Yeap, even though Saika is one of the demon clan and everyone is already warning to give her punishment after she comes to her senses later. However, the emperors Yaoyao and Fujin promised to protect her, giving her a waiver. Because after all Saika also contributed in helping the three worlds to eliminate Kenshin.
Naru, a boy who is used to accompanying Saika is allowed to stay together and take care of Saika. Until finally on the sixth day, Saika began to open her eyes again. And Naru was the first person he saw.
"Saika's sister. Hiks .. You have finally regained consciousness. Hiks .. I was so scared that big brother would leave and not open his eyes again. Hicks ..." Naru hugged the body of Saika who was still lying down and came back crying.
"Naru, sorry for worrying you." asked Saika softly.
The little boy just nodded in his sobs and now started to help Saika who wanted to change her position to sit down.
"It's been 6 days that Saika's sister was unconscious. The war is over. Prince Kenshin, Nakai's brother and Nakai's uncle are all gone, Kak .. and now we're in Itsuki's empire." Naru explained wiping away the rest of her tears, but his eyes still looked very red.
"Don't grieve. Brother is still here and will accompany you, Naru." comfort Saika gently rubbed Naru's head. "Then, where's Grandma Gu?"
Naru again cried because given the fate of the remaining demon clans, "Grandmother Gu along with the others are heading towards the Fumio empire. First Prince Fujin of the Fumio empire had vouch for them and protected them until they were released from the dungeon as well as the death penalty."
"Prince Fujin .." murmured Saika lirih.
A faint smile was now faintly painted adorning his pale face. Saika felt very relieved when she heard all that, because Fujin had already taken steps and actions to protect the person who had been with her while she was trapped with the demon clan.
Even Fujin had also saved him and freed him from the butterfly poison that had always sealed him and made him trapped with the demon clans.
"Thank God you've recovered, Princess Saika."
A baritone voice of a young man who sounded so clear was now heard and made Saika and Naru turn to look at the owner of the voice.
A handsome young man in his robe was already standing in the doorway, and now he began to wander with his wide stride of gallant pus entering this room.
"Naru, please make brother a pain reliever medicine first with herbs. Ask the herbal medicine to the palace healer. Do you understand, Naru?" pinta Saika looked at the boy. And actually Saika just didn't want Naru to be in this place when Fujin visited her.
There are still quite a lot of things to get straight with Fujin. Especially her previous self was one part of the demon clan that contributed quite a lot.
"Okay, Brother Saika." Naru obediently passed by immediately. He also paid tribute to Fujin before leaving the room.
Feeling strange, very guilty, and full of sin .. that's what Saika is feeling all along. Very different from what Fujin feels today. She was greatly relieved and lucky to still be able to see Saika's pair of clear eyes back.
His fear in the past .. of course he does not want to feel back in the current life. The delay in realizing something that means a lot in his life, and the loss of someone who loves him very much, of course, tortures him. The love that was present was late at that time, and the heart that was late realized it was indeed a lifelong regret for prince Shibata Katsui.
The views of Saika and Fujin were still intertwined with each other for a while, as if they were holding back the turmoil in each other's hearts. With no words spoken and only eyes that seemed to be talking and greeting each other inside.
