Alcanretia.

The home of Aqua's supposed "Followers"...

Now, I expect 3 things to happen on this trip:

I Either A) consistently try to get scammed to buy something completely useless, B) find a bunch of lowlives that probably do jack shit instead of actually do their jobs, or C) get repeatedly 'turn undeaded' because they don't like anything related to the dead/demons.

Knowing Aqua, she'll either have total control over them or no control whatsoever…

As I stood there with all my hopes completely withered away, the driver of the carriage pulled me aside.

"I'm sorry to bother you, especially when you just woke up and arrived at the city, but… it'd be within your best interest to hide that arm of yours…" He said in a very cautious tone.

"You know, I'd like to, but everyone and their dog knows who I am at this point especially when you consider what me and my party accomplished. Trust me, I'd love to live a life where's there isn't constant attention aimed towards me, but that life had already went away the moment I became an adventurer. Thanks for the warning, but it doesn't do much good to me anymore." I said as I sort of ignored his warning.

I really want to live a normal-ish life….

I stepped aside from him and started to unload some of our luggage from the luggage cart.

As soon as I did that and started handing the team their stuff, a man with leather sleeveless coat, corset, and pants started to walk up to us with a metal cane as he looked at an old book reading aloud a poem with a toneless voice.

The only very strange detail about this guy is his tattoos all around his chest and arms.

"Ah Sun-flower! Weary of time, Who countest the steps of the Sun:

Seeking after that sweet golden clime, Where the travellers journey is done." He said within rhythm as he closed his book.

So...here he is….

"V!" Griffon said as he flew down towards him.

The man in all leather with the jesus sandals, who I guess his name is...V, lifted his left arm out as Griffon landed on his forearm.

"V, you bastard!" Griffon angrily said as he faced him, "Do you have any idea how shitty that cage was!? I mean, look at me! Do I look like some kind of pigeon to you? Huh!?"

"Oh, I apologize. I just wanted to make sure that nothing happened to a dear friend of mine while they were out alone." He said in his same toneless voice.

"Dear friend, huh? What Bullshit…" Griffon complained as he started to re-adjust his feathers.

At this point, V walked over to me and the rest of the guys, but he seemed to have a slight interest in me especially.

"I would like to thank you adventurers for not only tolerating my companion, Griffon, but also keeping him away from danger." He said

"Keep away from danger? Ha!" Griffon said before laughing, "Yeah right! I had to save them from some hellbats that ambushed us yesterday. I was the Danger!" Griffon said all high and mighty like.

"Is...that so?" V said in an slightly intrigued tone.

"Besides," He continued, "This kid right here with the demon arm couldn't do shit! Seriously, what a joke!"

I planted the now found Red Queen onto the ground as I revved it a couple times making it spit some flames.

"You know...I wonder if you taste like chicken…" I said while trying to hold myself back from slapping the bird right in his mutated beak.

"Oh...You wanna go!? Come on! I'll tear that shitty grin right off your-" Griffon was about to finish the threat until V held his cane up to his beak to shut him up.

"I apologize for his behavior, he gets...hot headed every once in a while…" V said as he started to take his leave.

"I'll let you lot enjoy your vacation, Farewell…" V said as he left.

V…

~ ~ ~ ~

That man….he...no, it's impossible…

~ ~ ~ ~

A crowd had started to form around the entrance.

Part of me wondered if they gathered because of Griffon's loud shouts, but as soon as they started to look and point in my direction I didn't need to guess anymore.

"Hey Tsukiyo, you're bringing up a crowd, can you do something about that?" Kazuma said as he started to take his stuff towards the Inn were staying in for the night.

Oh boy, Kazuma is still bitter...cool…

Welp...it ain't my problem!

"Hey Aqua, go deal with th- Aqua? Aqua!" I said trying to find her as I looked around.

About 20 ft away from me towards the Inn, I see Aqua doing her stupid party tricks for some kids and elderly people as they watched her in awe.

Okay...let's hope that they don't crucify me before I can speak.

I started to walk up to the small crowd that was looking at me, and by the time I was close enough to even speak out to them, they scattered away from me and into the city without a word.

I should've just stayed back in the mansion. I can already tell that bad shit's gonna happen.

As I finally made my way towards the Inn we would be staying at for the next day or two, I couldn't help but feel daggers getting glared at me from all kinds of directions.

Even the moment I walked into the Inn, everyone stopped what they were doing and just gave me a glare or some kind of look as if I just spat in their face.

The only exception to this look was the receptionist talking to Kazuma as she handed him the key to our room.

As soon as he got the key and headed towards the room with Wiz still unconscious on his back, the receptionist joined in on the fun and started to look at me with the rest of the room.

I followed closely behind Kazuma to not meet any of the glares and to get out of the lobby as fast as possible.

When we got to our room, we took in the sight as we saw what first class looked like:

High Class King sized beds for one person, a window that leads to a damn good view of the city and a small fountain, high class brick and stone for the walls, and quality bread and fruit on the table for guests to have.

The good shit.

"Hey Tsukiyo, I think it might be better to hide your demon arm. A lot of people were glaring at you the moment we got here." Megumin mentioned as she sank onto one of the beds next to Wiz.

"I wish I could, but not only did I not bring a sling with me but a crowd had already formed around the entrance while catching a glimpse of me and my arm." I said, "They'll be able to connect the dots soon enough and know who we are..."

And if the people here are similar to Aqua, there's a possibility that they'll just suck up to celebrities spending time here to get better tips/pay.

"Tsukiyo's right Megumin," Aqua said as she rudely interrupted me and Megumins conversation, "The people here will have to not only recognize my party accomplishments over the months, but the fact that their own Goddess is here in the flesh!" Aqua declared proudly.

As Aqua started to go off into her own happy place with booze, sunshine, and bullshit, Megumin leaned over to me with a concerned face, "Is she still like this?"

"Sadly, yeah." I replied back.

I mean, It wasn't entirely a lie that Aqua was a Goddess in this fantasy world and that these people might actually be her followers, but because Aqua is a straight up bitch 95% of the time, I'm just gonna deny all that and bully her.

Remember Folks: If someone is a Grade-A Jackass, being an asshole/bully is completely justified!

(Don't quote me on that. -Konran)

"Alright, well I'm gonna try and do some sight seeing. If I don't make it back by dinner, assume that I'm either dead or crucified by some church." I said as I started to walk out the door.

"Oh! Wait for me!" Darkness said from one of the rooms.

She soon came out with some actual clothes that weren't all black and edgy.

A light yellow long sleeve shirt and regular dark tan pants while her hair was down, something you never see everyday.

"Ready." Darkness said happily as she left the room first.

I soon headed out the of the Inn as me and Darkness wandered throughout the city.

While it might've been a good experience for her to explore a place she hasn't been to much, I wouldn't say that it was same for me…

...Why you ask? Well…

~ ~ ~ ~

Duck

~ ~ ~ ~

I ducked as a couple of fiery arrows flew above my head and into the wall next to me.

~ ~ ~ ~

Step back

~ ~ ~ ~

I stepped back from where I was and saw a big potted plant filled with broken glass and bricks fall onto the ground and make a big crash

~ ~ ~ ~

Left

~ ~ ~ ~

I sidestepped to my left as a battle axe flew ahead and hit a wooden store ahead of me.

30 minutes.

30 fucking minutes this has been happening.

Now I wouldn't be listening to Vergil from the issue I have with him at the moment, but after getting hit with 2-3 beer bottles in the back of the head after he warned me, I feel like taking some of his advice…

Of course with this happening, people who weren't ballsy enough to do any of those things to me and see me dodge it just spat in my general direction.

I hated this.

Like seriously hated it.

This cycle would've stayed like this for another 15 minutes before Darkness stopped in front of an open shop with a Dwarf and an Elf each running a stall right next to each other.

"Oh my, what's a beauty like you doing with a sore thumb like him?" The Elf said as he started to check out Darkness.

Darkness ignored this guy's advances and started to fangirl for a moment, "Tsukiyo, Look! It's an elf!" she said all happily, "It's my first time seeing an elf!"

"...and a handsome one at that." The elf added in before giving her a wink.

I'm guessing that Darkness forgot the time when the Elder and Meryl came over to let me know they weren't dead…

But it's strange, compared to Zofia, Meryl and the Elder, this guy's attitude feels...off...

"Oh shut your damn trap pretty boy, Can't you see the man has character! A real display of Manliness!" The Dwarf argued trying to defend me.

So does this Dwarf. While I haven't talked to the other dwarves back in the village, they were much more muscular and gruff than this guy. He looks fat compared to them...

"Manliness? Oh please, all I see is another meat head with a strange arm. Completely unsightly." The Elf criticized once again

"You should get some of that glitter out of your eyes, maybe you'll see quality from trash. Now that I think about it, you don't own a mirror, don't you?" The Dwarf said as he started to laugh by himself.

"Forget him, Sir, can I interest you in some homemade Dwarven meat buns. Ma's secret recipe." The Dwarf said as he pulled out 2 meat buns and napkins.

"One for you, and one for your very special lady friend. Hell, I'll even throw in a discount for couples as well." The Dwarf said.

"Ugh, of course food. Instead of offering a steaming pile of grease for a lady, how about you buy something of quality I know she'll like." The elf said before pulling out a silver woven style bracelet with a small orange/gold gem in the center.

"If they're here sightseeing, then you'd think they'd have enough jewelry back home to sell to real designers!" The Dwarf started to argue again, "The best way to a person's heart is to through their stomachs, wouldn't you say my man?"

"Food will come and go and turn into shit, big whoop. Jewelry exactly like this are far and few. Besides, a woman's best friend is diamonds, what do you think Citrine is known for? Wouldn't you agree M'Lady?" The elf argued back.

At this point, I'd rather leave and not look back but I'm dying of starvation and the bracelet would look nice on Darkness so..

I sighed to myself as I pulled out my Eris pouch, "How much for both?"

"5,000 for the buns." The Dwarf said.

"10,000 for the bracelet." The Elf said.

The fuck are these inflated ass prices!?

I sucked up as much pride as I could for this buy and handed them the money.

The Dwarf gave us the buns, which had now gone cold from their arguing and the elf was still trying to make advances towards Darkness.

"Pleasure doing Business." Both of them said before leaving to head inside their own houses.

We ate the buns in less than 3 minutes with it's pretty odd taste and I was given the bracelet.

"Hey Tsukiyo," Darkness said "You didn't have to buy the bracelet, especially at the prices they were selling it for…"

"Hand me you wrist." I said ignoring her concern from the bracelet price.

She hesitated for a second before handing me her right wrist. I grabbed her hand gently as I placed the bracelet on top of her hand and tied it firmly.

"I know it's not as fancy or over the top as most of the stuff you probably have, but it looks nice on you so why not." I said with a slight blush.

Darkness pulled her hand back slowly and started to caress the bracelet gently, "No, it's perfect." She said with a bright smile.

Both of our stomachs started to growl lightly breaking the mood between us.

"You know, I'mma ask those two for directions to a cafe, I don't feel like dying of starvation." I said before heading up to the house and lightly knocking on the door of the Dwarf.

While I did knock gently, the door that I thought was closed wasn't closed, and creaked slowly as the door revealed the inside of the house.

What I saw only made sense of some things, but also disappointed me in a way.

Inside the house, was just one room. Right next to the doorway I was in was the door I saw and thought that lead to another house. Inside the room itself though was just a table, and two old chairs with the fake elf and dwarf counting the eris I gave them.

The elf had his fake ears on the table in front of him while the Dwarf was holding onto a clip on beard he had.

Both of them froze in place as they saw me with a disappointed gaze.

"You….weren't supposed to see this…." The fake elf said in a normal voice

"Now I know this looks bad, but there's a pretty good explanation for this!" The fake dwarf said as he stood up and tried to explain himself.

I was walking back while giving them an uninterested gaze, before I closed the door I whispered, "Fucking Phonies…" before fully closing the door and leaving the combined house.

"Were you able to get directions?" Darkness asked as I walked away from the house.

I switched gear from being disappointed to be somewhat clueless, "Oh, they said to keep walking around. There was a lot of cafes around, so it's impossible to miss them."I said in a somewhat convincing tone.

I just started walking ahead of Darkness taking the lead hoping that there was a cafe around and to my surprise there was one.

The cafe we were at was sort of an indoor/outdoor hybrid where there were tables outside the cafe if you wanted to eat with great weather or sit inside with the shade to take a break from the heat.

Since we didn't mind the heat as much, a surprise coming from me since I nearly died from being inside the carriage, we decided to take a table outside near the edge of the cafe.

Of course, I did get most of the attention because of my arm, but aside from weird stares and peeks there weren't any people coming over swinging a battleaxe to my head or crucifying me on some kind of cross and offering my head as some kind of sacrifice.

"Hi, Welcome to the Axis Bar and Grill, I'll be right with you." The waiter said as she gave us two menu's with a smile as she left heading back inside the cafe.

Seeing as she wasn't as disturbed about my arm as others, this was a definite sight for some sore continuous near death eyes.

"These prices are….a bit much…" Darkness said as she looked through the menu.

I looked through the menu and saw what she was talking about, nothing in the menu was under 1000 eris, which completely killed the purpose of it being a Cafe in the first place.

(At this point, I'm just gonna convert Eris/Yen to US dollars just to make comparing things very easy. -Konran)

Breakfast Croissant with a side of eggs and some OJ? 1500 Eris. ($13 US)

A tomato soup with some bread sticks on the side? 2000 Eris ($18 US)

A fucking regular breakfast with eggs, toast, OJ and half a grapefruit, 3000 Eris ($28 US)

Are these ingredients made from jewels!? Do they chemically engineer this to the literal point of Perfection!? Can they even do that in this time period!?

I honestly don't care about starving to death at this point, but holy shit, these prices are literal robbery...

I basically forced myself to buy the cheapest lunch there was which was 1200 eris ($11 US) which was a chopped salad, while Darkness got something called Pain Au Chocolat which was 2 small sticks of chocolate wrapped in bread (I had this in a Panera when my sister used to work there, it was so fucking Dank. Try it.) with Earl Grey Tea, which was 3200 Eris combined ($30 US)

When the waiter came back with our food, all my respect and positive vibes I had about her went down the shitter, like straight down no swirl around the bowl.

Remember that salad I ordered? Yeah, they literally just pulled some grass from a fucking pot and tossed it on a bowl with dressing on it, they didn't even brush off the dirt when they pulled it out, it's straight up weed from a plant with dirt and dressing.

Darkness on the other hand got a palm sized croissant filled with chocolate, and a teacup of tea, so yeah money well spent.

The waiter looked at me with a confused face, "I'm sorry sir, but this is what you ordered right?" She said in an innocent tone.

I looked at her with the most dumbfounded face only to see her face looking confused but have her eyes look like she enjoying every moment of me looking like a fucking tool.

"This is unacceptable." Darkness sternly said as she stood up a serious face.

"Miss, please step away from this gentlemen. He could be very dangerous, maybe even an Eris worshipper, or both." The waiter said as she tried to get Darkness away from me.

"Oh? And what if I said I was already part of the Eris Sect.?" Darkness said questioning the lady.

"Is that so…" the waiter said in an unamused tone, "Here, let's fix that shall we?"

The Waiter then proceeded to take the top off of the teapot and pour it on Darkness.

Having her defense very very high, I don't think this hurted Darkness at all since she stood there shocked from the waiter, but it really did piss me off.

Out of pure anger and seething fucking rage, I pulled out the Blue Rose and shot the teapot point blank making hot tea and sharp glass shards flying everywhere.

I held the Blue Rose in my other hand as my demon arm used its bigger spirit arm to grab the waiters shirt and pulled her about 2-3 feet off the ground.

At that time, I unawarely pulled my Devil trigger making her not only tremble in absolute fear, but definitely freak out most of the guest there.

"At this point, I would've killed you for what you did," I said with my voice having a slight demonic tone to it, "But I'm gonna give you 5 seconds to apologise before I break every bone in your body."

The color in the Waiters face had gone beyond pale, and it didn't help that Vergil's spirit stand stood behind me with the Yamato drawn, making her almost faint.

The waiter stuttered her words very badly trying to say something, but the very menacing aura I was pressuring on her made it impossible for her think straight.

"Tsukiyo, That's enough. I think you made your point." Darkness said calmly as she grabbed my shoulder gently.

I turned off my devil trigger and let go of the woman who just fell to the ground almost motionless and in utter shock.

Me and Darkness turned around and left the Cafe with all the stares and glares burning a hole in the back of my head.

We were able to walk towards a small harbor where sailors were unloading and loading boats at the same time.

I took a couple of large breathers as I tried to regain my cool from what just happened.

After getting back to normal, well sort of, I turn my attention to Darkness whose hair and shirt were still covered on tea.

"Are you okay? Does the Tea burn?" I asked out of concern.

Darkness looked at me with a normal gaze, "Yeah, I'm ok. Tea didn't burn as much I wanted to…" She said with a slightly disappointed tone

"Come on, let's go back to the hotel, you need a change of clothes." I said as I grabbed Darkness' hand and headed towards the Inn.

Darkness, despite being covered in tea that was boiled and poured on, had a small smile on.

"You know, that was a bit of an overreaction for tea being poured on me." Darkness teased, "...But part of me feels happy that you reacted that way. Made me feel very important to you." She said as she started to cuddle close to my right arm.

"Yeah, maybe that could've gone better, but that waiter had it coming. I'm not gonna let anyone do something completely fucking horrible to you." I said with a slight blush, can't believe I'm actually saying something like this…

"Hey Tsukiyo…" Darkness asked, this time blushing a it more than usual, "When it's just the two of us….call me Lalatina...ok?" she hesitated for a bit before telling me.

"Sure thing Dark-...Lalatina…" I said as I corrected myself.

She leaned her head on my shoulder the rest of the way to the Inn where we found Wiz now awake and not unconscious anymore.

"Welcome back you two, how was your- Oh my! What happened!?" Wiz asked as she placed a Towel over Darkness' head.

"Well, some things happened here and there, Darkness got covered in tea for being a Eris Follower and let's just say they really don't like Demons here…" I said as I paraphrased my general experience.

"So, how was your 2nd near death exper-...I mean short nap?" I asked Wiz.

Wiz looked at me weirdly before dismissing it, "My nap was ok, but it might've been better if-" Wiz got cut off by the sound of our door getting knocked on followed by loud-ish voice.

"Ma'am have you decided that you want to join the Axis Cult!? We're gifting a once in a lifetime deal of soap, holy water, and coupons to the Cafe if you join now! A deal like this doesn't come around everyday!" the voice shouted as it was followed by more loud knocking.

"...if that person hadn't been knocking on the door every 5 minutes asking me to join the Axis Cult..." she said with a exhausted sigh.

"Hey," I said, "Since my demon sword can cut some portals, what are the chances that one of it's random locations takes us back to Axel?" I asked Wiz.

Wiz seemed confused by my question, but thought seriously, "Hmmm….42,745,920/1 maybe?" Wiz said

"Alright, I guess that isn't so bad…" I said to myself.

"Oh wait, since it's a demon sword, it might be 130,845,900/1 if you take the underworld into account too…" Wiz added in.

"Well shit, there goes my plan." I said, Can't leave secretly with those chances…

I heard the door open along with a couple of tired sighs. Both Kazuma and Megumin looked tired, but Megumin looked lifeless.

"Oh Wiz, you're up." Kazuma said tiredly.

Megumin didn't pay attention to what was happening as she walked past me and Darkness just to flop onto the bed and not move for a couple of minutes.

"Tired?" I asked Megumin

"Mmmm…." she just groaned while not moving.

"Yeah, pretty relatable." I said pretending as if she said something that made sense.

"So, how was your guys' walk around the town?" Kazuma asked.

"People tried killing me for the first 30 minutes, we sort of got scammed but not really, and I was served trash while Darkness got covered in hot Tea." I said recalling everything that happened.

"Wait, we were scammed?" Darkness said all confused.

"The Dwarf and Elf were fakes…." I said

Darkness looked disappointed after hearing that, "Oh…"

"Yeah, sounds about right." Kazuma said unfazed from what I told him.

Megumin, on the other hand, shot right up as sat up on the bed, "Covered in hot tea!? Darkness, are you okay!?" She said completely shocked

"Oh it's alright, the tea wasn't even that hot to begin with." Darkness said reassuring Megumin.

"By the way, where's Aqua?" Darkness also asked.

"She went to the baths early. Said something about wanting the bath all to herself, I didn't listen to her much to be honest." Kazuma said.

"Oh! speaking of the baths, I went to it earlier. The water is very soothing and it melted all my fatigue away." Wiz sid happily.

"Earlier?" Kazuma said to himself

Wiz continued, "Yeah, but I went into the mixed bathing so the hot springs were much bigger, can't say for sure about the women's area."

"Mixed Bathing!?" Kazuma said to himself as his voice cracked a little bit.

I looked at him for a moment and saw him trying to so some intricate college level Statistics in his head as his face grew a bit bright while muttering to himself.

Ah, now we probably have the real reason for him wanting to come to the Hot Springs…

"Wow, I never knew you were this brave Wiz." Megumin said sort of amazed at Wiz

"It was nothing, no one was there at the time so I had the place all to myself. It felt like I rented out the entire springs!" Wiz said as she joked around.

Kazuma looked completely defeated when he heard Wiz say those words.

"Ugh, I'm gonna go to the baths now, I feel exhausted…." Kazuma said as he slouched over and went to his room and grabbed his stuff, "Hey Tsukiyo, wanna join me?" he asked.

"Are you sure?" I asked him. I don't know if he's still bitter or not, but if he's inviting me then I guess he got over it?

"Yeah, I don't really care anymore…" He said tiredly…

Ok, well I guess his disappointment is immeasurable and his day might be ruined….

I left to my room and got my stuff that I needed for the bath as me and Kazuma headed for the Baths.

Before we left, I was able to hear a conversation between the girls back in the room.

"Did Tsukiyo buy that bracelet for you?" Megumin asked.

"Yeah, it was overpriced but it didn't seem to stop him though." Darkness replied back.

"It's suits you very well, I like the color." Wiz added in happily.

I couldn't near the rest of the conversation, but that conversation was enough to make me happy.

"What're you smiling so brightly for?" Kazuma asked while still being salty about his 'missed opportunity'

"Oh, it's nothing." I said leaving him with those words as we continued to the baths.

-- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- --

Just a quick heads up, I got bored playing on my cpu and wrote this on the 29th, so maybe I lied again about not doing shit during the rest of the month of May.

Another thing is that I've reached the halfway point in the LN since this volume is very short, so you should probably expect the end of Vol. 5 in maybe next couple of chapters.

Don't worry, I won't pull any bullshit plot armour or at least I don't think my way of ending things count as plot armour…

I'm not sure if I made this Vol. short because of the 9.5k chapter last chapter or not, but hey the Monster Hunter edition will be coming very soon, and I feel like you guys might enjoy those chapters.

Edit: How is the pacing on this chapter, feeling a bit skeptical...

Edit 2: Holy Hell that Death Stranding trailer….

-- -- -- Questions -- -- --

DxHologram:

That future vision that Tsukiyo saw, are you going to start a similar event like that of DMC 5?

-Yes, but to an extent. I'm gonna have to skew a lot of things and stretch others, but he will be corrupted.

….and Kosuke is going through the same thing that Dante did, his Rebellion broken. I don't think he has the Sparda though?

-I mean...Vergil was able to spawn the Force Edge with his powers and fought Bael (or Dagon) with it back in the Off-Grid chapters. This will be important later.

Gen2324:

Griffon's appearance was a surprised, does that mean V would make an appearance soon?

-No

Heron (Guest)

Seeing Griffon was great and pretty hilarious. His owner is V right? Or is it one of another character that actually possess a DMC character powers like Tsukiyo and Kosuke?

-Yes.

Morals (Guest)

Do you think Tsukiyo would be able to hide himself from the city, long enough to meet Hans with his party?

-Yes.

-- -- -- General Responses -- -- --

DxHologram:

DMC5 is probably my next favorite game of 2019, aside from KH3. Been playing BP ever since launch and I still haven't beaten it, can't get past floor 60 for all characters and I'm really trash with Dante, can't go SwordTrickGunTrickSword like Donguri, but I'm sort of close.

The trailers were amazing and the music choices were great, still having a little bit of trouble getting used it Subhuman. But man, that last trailer….absolutely perfect.

As said above, there will be some similar events from DMC 5. I don't know how I'm gonna add Devil Breakers, if I even add it in, but ya boi will lose his good arm.

Gen2324:

I've still got some DMC4 stuff left in my mind that I wanna add along with some DMC5 stuff, but most of it will have to wait.

I really want to take my time with the Development between Darkness and Tsukiyo since, I really want to hold off on the ship sailing until much later in the series. That and the process of them falling in love is really fun thing to write in.

Yeah, he still has some training he needs to do and he will get some training and experience soon.

DoorToLight47 (I'm not sure if that's a KH reference or not.)

Thanks for reading all the way up to this point. Don't know how long it took, but I guess it took a good minute to read all 48 chapters.

I wanna ask if my pacing is okay, because I'm already at the Volume's halfway point.

Thanks for the compliment on the Tsukiyo's abilities this far. To be honest, it's a bit hard trying to scale down his strength and level out the playing field since DMC doesn't have much info on how much each slice/bullet does in terms of damage.

Yeah, he still has a long way to go, a very very long way since the "final boss" of this series is where I'm hoping I can get his skill level going from swordsman in training to almost DMC canon fighting. He will be training more and getting more experience, but he just has to keep on learning.

I haven't read much other Konosuba fanfics, so I don't know how they do romance. But they aren't in a relationship just yet, still holding off…

Journey To The End (Cool name btw)

Thanks for the compliment, and thanks for the DMC lore in a nutshell I'm gonna have to screen cap. that to show to other people if they ask about it.

As I mentioned to DoorToLight47, I haven't read much of the other Konosuba fanfics so I don't know how common a DarknessxOc or Kazuma is, but I do know that the Megumin ship is sort of common since she is the meme of the show and beloved character.

Tsukiyo still has a long way to go, but his fighting experience will go up and probably be on par as Kosuke's by the end if this series.

Ina (Guest)

Tsukiyo will get better, he just needs some experience, trust me.

For the second part of your review, I can't respond cause it'll be spoiled…

Oran (Guest)

Yeah, I know it's weird. I just needed some kind of excuse to put tension between them, Why? I don't know…

Besides, it wasn't his party's fault this time, so he probably had no obligation to help out with a fight.

Tenshu (Guest)

Yes

"So I think Tsukiyo should try his best to stay hidden and cover his Devil Bringer."

"...Stay Hidden..."

Hahahaha….you're funny...

Avalon (Guest)

Don't worry, you'll probably get another one that gets interrupted, that's how these kind of cliche stuff works right?

Aside from that, didn't they show Nero and Kyrie kiss at Trish and Lady's ending?

Edit: Ok, just rewatched, they didn't. Fucking Capcom, I wonder how many people they pissed off by not showing that scene.

Oh well, doesn't matter we have Tumblr for tha-

...Oooo, too soon…

Jardezky Mioza

Thanks for reading all 48 chapters, it must've been a long ass time or not.

By the way, become one of us! We have pizza!

Lorenzo (Fancy Guest name my guy)

I was there for the whole ride and man the end was satisfying, now I hope the next game gives more info about Sparda. They never really said if he died or not, not sure how long demons can live…

I don't even watch Star Wars and I found that meme funny, I think at one point in the Mission Genesis where you find the Sparda and fight the Nobodies, he says something close to "It's my turn to play with the Devil Sword Sparda."

Thanks for the review.

Don't worry, both of them will admit it at some point. I'm just trying to build it up and find a right time to let the ship sail.

Guest that didn't put his name down, but reviewed this morning (June 1st, 2019)

Thanks for the review and opinions of my story. I'm glad you could enjoy my story even if you don't like the Kono Subarashii ani-verse.

If you did read up to this point, I do recommend watching watching the Anime itself if you haven't, but if you did, well then I guess I did a good job in letting your opinion of the series be a bit better.
