Apologies for the long wait. There were plans for update chapters in a Xenovia Birthday chapter, along with other dates to do an update chapter, but I have been tired with personal life stuff, and overwhelmed. I've also been debating some stuff and getting some plans for future FIREBRAND events from my somewhat tolerable asshole brother. So I've basically having inner conflict with that. In the end, I decided to take some, not all of it, mainly because I don't want a lot of what I work on be fully influenced by others. If I did that, it wouldn't be my work. There can be compromises, but need to draw lines when need be.

I've also been playing story-given games for more reference, like Aegis Rim and Mass Effect: Legendary Edition. I plan to also get Ninja Gaiden: Master Collection, maybe Scarlet Nexus, and if possible, No More Heroes 1, 2, and 3.


Answering stuff area

abyssjumper: wow her peerage has no sacred gears

A: I feel having a peerage with no Sacred Gears would be interesting. I had debated on it while planning the first chapter. Sacred Gears are great, but having characters/beings capable of going toe-to-toe with them sounded like a good idea.


Tr1vium: How disappointed were you that Wonder Woman 1984 was a huge letdown lol. I mean it wasn't the worst movie I've seen but god damn did it have a lot of plot holesoles and other shit.

A: It was alright, but could've have been better, don't know how. I am thinking about editing the chapter with the WW84 scene.


"I can't believe this is happening," said Sona. "I get to do an update announcement chapter, on my birthday of all days."

"This is truly exciting, Sona-kaichou!" The Sitri Queen turns her head to the left and sees Momo entering, looking surprised to see her.

"Momo? I was expecting someone from the other two peerages to do this update." Momo explains how since it was her birthday, it was only fair that the two characters Naruto interacts with the most in the Student Council have the stage. "Also, it seems like a good way to go and do this since you have the most sexual-"

"Okay, let's just tell the readers what's up!" Sona interrupts, her face a bit flustered. "First, what's the status of Stronger II B? It's 40% complete. It's probably not going to be over 10K words in that one, of course I could be wrong, but Writer-san is working pretty hard."

"What is going to be in the II B, Sona-kaichou?"

"A bit more Akeno I believe," said Sona. "No idea what the thing is with readers and Akeno. She is insanely popular in fics, it's crazy. Hard to believe Writer-san bent the knee for her to be one of the girls. There'll also be moments focused on Hoshikari, Raphtalia, and Daigo."

"Speaking of Hoshikari's uncle, why Daniel Southworth as his fictional VA?" Momo asked.

"Why? Because Writer-san really liked Devil May Cry V," Sona answered. "Wished he waited until the Special Edition came out. Back to what's going to be in it, there will be a fight scene with Gen Liu and the Three Weapon Bearers, a talk between Xenovia and Yuuto, and possibly the start of Ange's Loyalty Mission, which will involve a descendant of one of Ange's teammates."

"What about Naruto?"

"All the readers need to know is that he's going to be a busy body as it counts down to his fight with Gen Liu." Sona voiced how excited she was to eventually see Naruto and Gen fight, since it'll possibly be one of his toughest fights yet. "There's another fight going on from the side maybe, which involves Fujino."

"Should we tell them what's to come for future chapters?"

"Oh, good idea Momo," Sona told her Bishop. "Though...Writer-san, should we?"

[Yeah, it's cool.]

"Okay, so besides the Gen Liu fight, we'll have interactions with Naofumi Iwatani, possible development for Koneko, an arc involving Fujino and Akeno, maybe a separate story that may nor may not be canon in FIREBRAND, theeventual arrival of Nito, and a possible appearance from a certain Uchiha."

"But Sona-kaichou, what about the poll about him appearing?" Sona tells Momo that sometimes some polls are meant to be broken, and that the approach on him will possibly be different. "Different how?"

"There are talks on making him a good person, not the usual edgy or so character people hate and would love to bash." Momo voiced how it may backfire. "That's what redos are for, should that come to be. Otherwise, we'll just introduce the guy with pineapple hair, the flower shop girl, the big-boned guy, and maybe the dog owner. This is for an eventual chapter involving Naruto, Akeno, and Baraqiel. There shouldn't be anything wrong with adding Naruto characters from time to time. We are still figuring out when to add Kakashi."

"I am hoping Kakashi's appearance will be done well, Sona-kaichou. I really am hoping it does. Anything else to add?" After much thinking, Sona believes they had covered everything the readers need to know about what to expect. "So that's the update, thank you Writer-san for letting me have this one."

"And also for letting me be part of it too, despite being a side character!" With thankful smiles on their faces, Sona and Momo wave goodbye.
