The werewolves look between each other, as do the nagas, confused. Mammon actually legitimately looks deflated.
"....you....don't know what Mammon looks like?"
One werewolf, making a half-whimper, half-cough, slowly approaches Jade, taps her on the shoulder, and calmly points at Mammon, sitting on the wyvern, to say "that's the guy you want". Mammon stares at the werewolf.
"....Lycaeon?"

The werewolf simply shrugs, as if to say "she asked", and sheepishly walks back over to his side. Mammon clears his non-existent throat.
".....in any case.....how should I trust that you have no violent intentions towards me? You already have that woman trying to hunt me down. And you have two godlings helping you. If you truly claim to be seeking the truth, how dare you side with them?"

Suddenly, a chorus of "wao roods" and "waos" sounds from the outside. Rhea whips around, her spear at the ready.
"....another General? You said you couldn't summon them, Beelzebub."
"am blobbo, am bad at lying"

The soldiers that were watching the fight got back to work. Kensuke nods at the restless party.
"Please, follow me. We don't have much here at Sangonomiya, I'm afraid. It's more of an administrative estate than a real city, but with the Resistance working out of here, we've been building up a little. We have a blacksmith's, and a pharmacist's, if you need to restock - and of course, the market is open for you to buy food. My sister, Natsumi can provide you with some new clothes and armor if you need some; she's rather good with those. Lord Kiritani is, unfortunately, not here, but he sent some messages for you to be read. I'd like to convey them, but somewhere quieter."

Beelzebub feels comfortably warm to the touch, conducive to patting.
"demogorgia was queen of demons, yis. good lady. kept blobbos fed. kept beelzebub fed. even gibed cushions and house in blobbonia, yis."
"all parts of me in pedestals, yis. is why you need gibe fud to summon me; am store all of it here"

"wao, am not fragment of demon general, am actual demon general"
"smol blobbington is fragment of me, yis, other blobbos just leftovers from creation of demons"
"no wait for memory to come back, am dum blobbo, what you see is what you get, yis"

"....so that's where Discordia went. I see. Alright."
Rhea sighs, pinching the bridge of her nose.
"I can't say I'm not used to this. My sisters have always been....troublesome. It's why I moved away from home. Always the type to try to make cliques and exclude the rest. My mother, bless her heart, is a kind woman, but....this means she can't see the cruelty of her own daughters to each other."
The goddess exhales deeply.
"In any case, I always suspected that this war was a ruse, but....sadly, my hands are tied. My sisters have my mother convinced that I want nothing to do with her or them anymore, and in any case if they've gone as far as to hide whatever happened with the war, then I suppose they've taken steps to prevent me from getting to her."
"what is curse? is fud, yis?"

As Sir Blobbington is placed back on the pedestal, the food begins to levitate into the air again. A pinkish aura manifests around the small blob, them still wondering at everything going on as if it were something mundane like a beautiful snowfall.

A distant rumble of thunder ripples through the sky. The food suddenly flies at Sir Blobbington, whose mouth opens and inhales the food.
"am fed, yis"

Suddenly, the pink energy that has been gathering completely covers Sir Blobbington, which floats off the pedestal and swirls around the room, growing in size to dwarf Keith....before landing on the floor to the side of the pedestal. The energy dissipates entirely, smoke surrounding the form of Sir Blobbington.

"....S-Sir....Blobbington?"

The smoke clears after a moment, revealing a giant, pink blob.
"wao"
"am beelzebub, yis"

"Heh. I guess we Chiefs owe you one for saving Cassius."
Junius turns to the two Chiefs that accompanied him, who have just finished heading off the remaining Runners.
"Go home, get some rest. I'll finish up our business here."
Nodding at him, they leave.
"You Warriors are alright. Maybe I'll talk to our boss about working together. Once we go legit, of course."
