Tokyo was beautiful beneath the night sky, its neon lights of every color painting the world in brilliant hues.
The night was lovely, clear for miles around, with a full moon hanging overhead.
Fang Cheng stood in the Yuguang Family's courtyard, admiring the moon as he busied himself at the grill. Qingxue was beside him, helping prepare the ingredients.
Behind them, Kitajima Maki and Kamikawa Mirei sat at the dining table, holding barbecue and beer, looking like they had nothing to say to each other.
Tonight was the night Fang Cheng had chosen to reclaim all the Monsters in Tokyo. Kitajima Maki and Kamikawa Mirei were very interested, and had come to watch after Fang Cheng agreed.
They were also there on behalf of the Area 11 government to witness this historic moment.
They might not say it aloud, but they were surely worried Fang Cheng was lying. So Kitajima Maki also had the responsibility of "keeping an eye on him."

If he couldn't even take away the Monsters in Prison, that would prove he was just trying to fool idiots.
Kitajima Maki and Kamikawa Mirei had come to the Yuguang Family's home on official business, only to find Fang Cheng eating barbecue.

Kitajima Maki made a mild "protest"
