I said it was going to take a while, didn't I? Well, at least we made it.

With batch 2 ending, I guess I can say we got out of the "prologue" portion of the story, though that wouldn't be quite right. I wanted to take care of stuff like the relationship with Chisato and all at the start so I could follow the story without any worries, but that took longer than I expected, so this batch 2 contains what I had originally planned for it plus some leftovers from batch 1.

And now we're going to the demon realm. Well, this time won't be like the last fanfic were it was just for a chapter or two. At the very least, all of batch 3 will take place there.

Speaking of batch 3, real life is still quite busy, so once again it might take a while. I'd like to say I'll try to make it until the end of the year, but I'm thinking about doing something special to post on the holidays, so I'll only be able to start working on batch 3 once I decide whether or not I'm going to do that.

Now, onto commenting on stuff. First, what I said I was going to talk about in the last note.

About how I introduced Chisato into the harem. A lot of people got my intention (Basara delayed it so much it came back to bite him in the butt), but they also pointed out that Chisato's scenes weren't all that good. I don't know what to say, for some reason I didn't think about writing Chisato's sex scene in the bath instead of that chapter I wrote. You guys are going to have to forgive me for that and take a rain check on another Chisato sex scene for a while.

But at least I know that people got my intention, so I'm already happy with that.

About the Reapers. Well, they're the group of villains this time. I tried doing something different were Basara's group isn't the one being targeted this time, because of that, as long as they play their cards right, they might be able to avoid most battles. Obviously, I plan to develop more on their story and introduce more Reapers as things progress. There's one in particular I'm kinda exited to have show up, but that'll still take a while (like, after Basara comes back to help the heroes).

Now, about Anna. Well, for those who didn't know, she's an original character from my previous fanfic. It took me a while to decide whether or not I should bring her to the sequel, but when I finally decided to, I knew just what her role would be. If for whatever reason you want to know more about her, you can check the previous fanfic or wait here for a while, whichever you prefer.

And, one thing before anyone points it out: no, I didn't forget to post part 2 of Anna's chapter, that'll come later in the story. As for the condition to unlock her memories, maybe you have an idea, but unless you're some sort of psychic I'm pretty sure you didn't get everything I have planned.

Now, to the stuff from this batch.

Honestly, while writing the first few chapters, I was feeling really tired because of everything that's been going on and that might have shown in those chapters. Hopefully I managed to get rid of that during proofreading, but if I didn't, then you guys now know why.

About the "brothers." Well, I don't think I need to say anything that wasn't said during the chapters. In general, children like that will be the Reapers' "disposable pawns," but those two(?) are different and quite special, so they'll be a bit more trouble. They'll likely last more than a lot of the other Reapers I have planned.

There was one chapter that was basically dedicated to talking. I wanted to have Chisato and the girls talk and settle things between themselves, since I felt the LN was kinda lackluster on that part. But when I went to write it myself, I noticed it was a lot harder than I expected, so I went with something basic and I plan to let their living together develop their relationship further. Hopefully it didn't end up too bad.

Nothing else is coming to mind right now, so I guess that's the end of the commenting section.

Again, batch 3 might take a while. Hopefully 2020 will be a bit better on that part (though I know it won't for at least half of January). For now, that's it for me. See you all some other time.
