"Sorry to burst your bubble, but my rain can't exactly put out a Falkar's wings. That'd be like trying to put out fire magic with rain. It doesn't work like that."
Asuna whipped out her sword without much hesitation.:"Let's kick some ass! Come on, if we can beat the fuck out of an entire demonic incursion force --er, uh, no offense, Andras-- then we can beat the hell out of some monsters too!"
"No offense taken, ma'am. I was one of those among my people against the invasion of Generia. The whole endeavour was and continues to be a waste of time, if I may be so blunt."
"M-monsters!? W-why are there monsters?!" "I am afraid I cannot get to any other camp fast enough, good sir. My teleportation can only send me to my domain in Hellrealm or in the vicinity of my lord. However-"
"Don n' I can 'andle it. We can fly proper quick when we need ta! Don, get yer arse off the floor, we're up fer it!"
"Got it, man! Ya lead the way, I'll follow!" "If you aren't loyal to each other, who can you be loyal to, hm?"
"....is that a jet engine?"
"Is it close? I-I think I know what that is, b-but...."
"I'd say that's....a mile out, if I were to guess." "Indeed. These two gentlemen here could not find a party of their own either until Miss Kageyama,", he gestures to Rena, who's walking back over. ",so it can be more than somewhat difficult to join parties if you don't fit what they look for sometimes."
"A pleasure, good sir. Adventurers can occasionally be so terribly challenging."
"The young master's grandfather performed an act which caused myself to be indebted to him, ma'am. To preserve my pride as a demon, I saw no choice but to fulfil my debt to that man, which will be held to be fulfilled by myself and their family upon the conclusion of my term of service for the young master, after having faithfully served three generations of the family." "....I beg your pardon, good sir?"
"This group of peons accepted me not because the dark powers within me made me a valuable ally, unstoppable in battle, as I alone could wield the power of Hellrealm against the forces of Hellrealm itself! The Cipher of Garsabadon in my left eye alone could wipe out a hundred legions with the pure power contained within it!" "If I may, the young master could not find another party that was willing to accept them to allow them to collect Emblems; they apparently believed us to be a pair of Revivian ragamuffins. So, Rena offered to take us in."
"The young master actually hails from an esteemed family in Midgardia, ma'am." "They sent me away because they were in fear of the demonic wrath that pulses through my veins! I can scarcely control it; they sent me away out of fear that my shadowy powers would get loose, bringing calamity and hellfire to-" "The family sent me to watch over the young master to keep them out of trouble after they completed their studies -summa cum laude, I might add with some pride- at the esteemed Linden University of Adventurer Studies and began searching for adventuring opportunities." "Killjoy.""But of course; Allegiance, background, it matters not ;a servant is a servant and should always conduct oneself as such."
"Yet such sentiments seem scarce as of late."
"I could not agree more, ma'am. The savages who call themselves servants of the Demon Lord have much to be ashamed about, among other things."
"A servant must always show pride and proper conduct in the course of the work, even if they are demons. After all, even demons have pride in their work."
"My proper name, ma'am, is Andras Calcifer Denaria. I am a Major Demon of Greed, who presides over Avarice, the greed for gold and material wealth. You see, ma'am, I have been contracted to watch over the young master here, by the name of-" "It's Terrorslayer. Terrorslayer, the Invincible, through whose veins run dark powers, whose name is feared throughout all of Hellrealm and whose left eye contains the Cipher of Garsabadon! We've been through this, you dolt, my name is Terrorslayer!" "Excuse the young master, ma'am. They are very insistent on their new nom de guerre. A servant's honor dictates I keep their name secret, so my apologies."
"Oh, righ'. Ye wer' askin' about Andras? Oi, Jeeves! Get over 'ere!""Dreadfully sorry for the ruckus, good sirs and madams. I'm afraid that that small unpleasantry is an unfortunate consequence of my appearance. How may I be of assistance?"
"Yeah. Yeah, I think I can do that."
"Yeah, I'll....I'll do that in the morning. Thanks for the advice." "I promise, I won't be stealing Rosencrantz from you any time soon."
"I guess I could.....wander a little more, think about things."
