[shess's art skills aren't amazing, but it looks roughly like a very simple version of this.]

[compendiem]

............Was it anything like what Ookurikara and Hisoka were riding?

[nonbelligerent]

I'm not sure. Since they went on their own path, I have no idea what Ookurikara and Hisoka were doing.

[compendiem]

It looked like they had fun...

[ Hisoka, at least. He can't tell with Kara. ]

Did you have fun?

[ Is this the question to ask? ]

[nonbelligerent]

[hm.]

I suppose I didn't hate it, but I'm not sure if I was exactly entertained either.

[compendiem]

Not hating it is pretty good.

[ It's sort of how Minato feels about fighting, nothing he really enjoys, but he doesn't hate it either.

A glance over at Naminé back there somewhere. ]

What did you win?

[ Assuming Naminé won that car. Sometimes Shadows drop items when they're killed; maybe this is what Satan awards. ]

[nonbelligerent]

[...]

A protective talisman.

[compendiem]

[ ... ]

Like the one Naminé had? Or like an omamori...?

[ a hand-sewn, salt-filled pocket of happiness ]

[nonbelligerent]

Closer to your omamori, I guess.

[compendiem]

[ a pocket of salt... ]

...I hope it does its job. Lots of people here would be sad, I think, if something were to happen to you.

[nonbelligerent]

[...]

Do you think so? Thank you.

[compendiem]

Do you not think so?

[ Anybody else would just says thank you... ]

[nonbelligerent]

Well, who knows? Either way, I don't plan on dying anytime soon.

[compendiem]

...Death isn't the only way to lose somebody.

[nonbelligerent]

What are you thinking of, then?

[compendiem]

Like... getting lost in the woods, or being stuck in that... train... or wherever you guys went. Thank goodness you were with other people.

[ There's also corruption, but ): He doesn't want to think about Shess being corrupted ]

[nonbelligerent]

Yes, it's a good thing that didn't happen.

[the world did not curse them with being stuck with hisoka forever.]

In any case, we all made it out safe and live, so no need to worry about what-ifs.

[compendiem]

[ The world did, however, curse them by spitting Hisoka back out. ]

Yeah... at least there's that. And since you got a charm, something good must've come out of your efforts. Like before.

[nonbelligerent]

[...... yeah unfortunately]

I hope so. It does seem that we succeeded at what we were meant to do.

[compendiem]

Killing Satan?

[nonbelligerent]

Oh. No, that was just one part. We had to stop him from reaching our final destination.

[compendiem]

The... village?

[ Minato could've gotten to see his friend ): why'd they have to stop Satan? ]

[nonbelligerent]

[he shakes his head.]

Deeper into the area. There was someone we needed to wake up, and it seems Lucifer was a threat to him.

[compendiem]

Nyx?

[nonbelligerent]

A Japanese boy. I don't recall if we got his name. He might've been the... "Shaman King", though? Or connected to that.
