Well, no one left review or PM me. Ah well, I know that is a double edge sword, which I can understand. I hope know that the story pacing feels everywhere. Still, I will make this interlude as a way of explain some bits of his PTSD. I hope you guys like this small interlude I did. Again, if you guys want to see something small, just ask.

Alright, on with the show.

-Set during the three weeks in chapter 2-

Fernando found this world very exhilarating. Mainly since for once he doesn't have to kill anymore. He found that to be the greatest joy for once.

"Huh, a nice break," he said as he continued his way to see Marilyn.

Despite being a Mamono, she was very kind to him. He doesn't get why she is seen as a threat to the Order. But he will leave that for later.

He continues the path before finding her at a secret spot to meet up. She, and Sasha as well, told him that being friends with Mamono near Lescatie will be enough to give him a death sentence, which he understood. He walked up to her, letting the jingle of his Elite Knight armor set to gain her attention. The Satyros turn around to see him, causing her to smile and waving at him.

"Ah, hello there, Fernando," the Mamono said to him with a smile.

"Ah, Miss Marilyn," the human replied with a cheerful tone. "It's good to see you again."

"It's fine, Fernando," she said with a smile. "Doing a mundane quest?" She rhetorically asked.

"Yep," he grinned at her as he held the quest tag. "A simple one. Finding some special silk worms. Think you can help on this?"

"Mhmm, this is interesting," Marilyn said as he found it surprising. "I do know that, as ironically it is within a forbidden area that the Order would say it's dangerous."

"Due to it's origins?"

"Yea, unfortunately," Marilyn said sheepishly. Instead of being angry, the knight just shrugged, which surprise her. "I'm glad you are open minded, you know that?"

"I understand, Marilyn," Fernando told her with a smile as they trek through the forest. While walking through, he began to wonder the silk worms. "So why are the silk worms in the forbidden part of the forest?"

"The silk worms are sorta blessed by a Mamono, a Mothman," the Satyros explained, which made the knight to stopped.

"What?" the knight asked, stunned on what he heard. "Wait, hold on a minute." He said to her as she look at him confusedly. "How the heck does that work? Didn't you told me all Mamono are Monster girls?"

"Oh. My bad! Tehehehe!" Marilyn giggled as she realize her mistake. "You see, Fernando, the Mothman is definitely a Mamono. We just keep her species name the same."

"Couldn't you guys just make it Mothwoman to be safe? Especially since all are monster girls," He asked her. This then made her think about it.

"Maybe," she said, stunning him. "You are right, but we are hanging out since Lilith the Demon Lord promise us sons one day."

There was a few moments of silence as the human let the information sink into his brain. Mainly at the utter fact that despite being a monster girl, they insist on keep the masculine name for this particular Mamono.

"If you say so," Fernando said as he found what he heard to be ridiculous. 'Just what is this demon lord smoking? LSD crack or something? That is a date rape drug.'

Somewhere back in Makai, the Demon Lord took offense at an insult but doesn't know what kind of insult or why.

The two continue to trek before finding.

"Don't worry I got this," Fernando told her as he got his sword ready to hack the branches. He took a deep breath and-

SWOSH!

CRACK!

Fernando swung his sword as he rolled forward as he turned around. The crazy Undead Hunters in this swamp and waving around those logs, trying to kill him.

"Fuck!" He swore as he continued to run before seeing one of those freaks. The Lycantrope folks. The lanky giants staked to the cross. One saw him and went berserk as he roared, gaining the attention of it's brethren close to him.

Fearing, he looked up to see the bridge and an idea formed to him.

"Fuck it," Fernando growled as he took a deep breath. He ran again, this time to the wall. Took a step to the wall before jumping off of the wall, bouncing off. He then landed quickly on the Lycantrope, stunning it as he jumped again. He landed on a part higher of the wall as he jumped again, as he now grabbed onto the bridge's edge.

Grunting in relief, the shinobi trained knight look up and then smirked as one of those hollow sorcerers was startle. Not taking any chances, he used his Astora Straight Sword and stabbed the fucker in the pelvis before pulling him down. Throwing its corpses on the second Lycantrope that tried to snatch him. The knight then got up as he sighed in relief. He smiled a bit as the hunters fought the Lycantrope. Chuckling at the infighting he caused.

"Sayonara, fuckers," he said as he is ready to give them a fiery-

"-Fernando!" A feminine voice shouted, panting being heard.

Fernando snapped out of his flashback as he began to pant heavily.

One that he didn't wanted to relieve. It was after he sacrifice himself to get Anri and Horace through the swamp in the Road of Sacrifices. Getting mauled to near death by those hunters was bad enough but he survived that. Then being squashed by the fucking giant crabs made him want to fry the fuckers as a form of vengeance.

"Huh-what?!" Fernando said as he looked at her and then to his sides. "What happened? Where are we!?"

"Fernando, calm down!" The Satyros yelled again, as she began to shake him. He began to let out a gibberish noise as he grabbed her arms. Reacting quickly, Marilyn hugged to at least calm down. "Calm down, Fernando. Whatever you're remembering, it's over. Don't worry to much about it. Please."

It was here that after a few minutes that the knight finally calmed down. He managed to stopped hyperventilating as he began to cry, letting some tears out as he remembered that. He nearly caused a scene because of it. Especially when she told him he went on for a good mile before she caught up to him.

After calming down but mentally exhausted, Marilyn told him that she will get the goods for him. He understood that as he wasn't in a good spot at the moment. She went ahead and, asking to a Mothwoman, grabbing the magical silkworms and returning back with them. He thanked her, which she doesn't mind as she told him it was for a friend after all. That is what friends for.

While the quest would be completed, it also serve as a warning since it seems that flashback episodes can still happen to him.

Even out of the blue. No build up or anything.
