[Eventually, however... Eventually he nods his head. Even if he had died again properly without transforming like this, with all of his memories, Chikusa can't say it wasn't worth it, although it hurts thinking that Ken has to deal with this. After all... Ayumu would have killed Hakkai if he hadn't stepped in. If he hadn't been able to slice through her legs, she could have still gone after him, and after Ken.]
[He managed to chase her away... even if only temporarily.]
