A minor demon outbreak; an event that shouldn’t have happened in the new world, yet it did, anyways. One of the seals had malfunctioned, and it was the duty of JP’s to see to it that it was fixed. Naturally, Yamato would be going as well, as the demon in question happened to be quite powerful.
“May I accompany you as well?” Alcor had asked, and Yamato had agreed--both surprising and unsurprising. Alcor was an asset in terms of knowledge and his abilities as a Septentrione made for a very efficient demon exterminator indeed.
