[Sousei won, somehow, because he's a stubborn, immovable asshole when he wants to be. And that meant he was free of the Orochi, free to go back home to the Yamainu and the Kumous and... Well, bring someone with him, as well.
Introducing the tall, ginger foreigner to everyone earned perhaps the expected reactions, teasing and greeting and welcome from the squad, because anyone Sousei approved of was automatically welcome, with the exception of Takeda's vague uncertain jealousy. And from the Kumous... Well, Tenka of course was the cheerful bully he always was, and Chuutarou followed along. As for Soramaru--it wasn't the one from Court, but it was still a good meeting between his student and Francis.
All in all, it was triumph and success and celebration for the death of the Orochi. Francis was set up in Sousei's room, at no one's protest, and Sousei, for once in his life, let himself sleep in. He'd earned a day off.]
