[Ellie's P.O.V.]
After that day, Kirk was once again pulled away to undergo all sorts of training. Grandmother Mary's coffin was still sitting in Kirk's living room. Rowling, Abby, and I took turns guarding the coffin when Kirk was not around, in case Nazan sent people to destroy it.
Everything was fine when Kirk's coming-of-age day, but we still didn't dare let our guard down. We sent people to continue guarding this place, and while we followed the address that Kirk gave us where his coming-of-age ceremony would be held.
According to the rules, the moment Kirk came of age, he would immediately take over as the leader of Dragon Slaying Gang. However, with Nazan around, even if Mr. Bel and his followers were already on Kirk's side, it was hard to guarantee that Nazan would not use any forceful means to make a move on Kirk.
