"Yeah, t-thugs will be thugs. I-it's not uncommon to try something like that."

"How can I lie? It's not like it's my job to fight the Demon Generals, so I only know whatever gets to me up there, which isn't exactly much! Besides, isn't that your whole thing as adventurers, fighting the forces of the Demon Lord?"
"In case you haven't realised, the Demon Generals are, like, the most powerful demons in existence. 42-1, Demon Generals are very, very powerful. We're talking 'they make Rio with her sword look like a kid with a pointy stick fighting a bear'."
"That's why we summon you mortals to do it for us! You're supposed to have the whole imagination thing down pat, right? It got you this far!"

Asuna peeled herself off of the ground, a process that took a little while and a lot of grumbling, and only ended up being able to contribute to conversation after a good while.
:"...getting my wish appealed, huh...? Yeah, I’d like that. Real talk though, I’d kinda be coming anyway... shredding shit is the only thing I’m really good at." Asuna sighed, and then looked at Keith. “Also, we TOTALLY could have fucked that other guy up.”

"Good. Then....we might not be friends, but at least MAYBE I might get a little less hate. I don't know what whacko mortals did to you here, but if it's a choice between maybe letting myself sleep at night without thinking I'll have my throat slit and facing my literal dragon mother, then I think I'll take my odds with the dragon mom. A gracious goddess like myself should have the priority of watching out for mortals, after all."

Kazuto shrugs, whipping out a flask for himself and sidling up to Jarvis.
"Hey, man. Don't make us ALL look like weirdos. I'm Revivian and I don't even know half the shit those guys come up with. So.....we looking for Belphegor?"
"Wait, what do you mean look for Belphegor?"

As the party continues discussing, Rosencrantz pops up from around the corner, a look of slight disgust on his face.
"Well, I found some stuff. Belongs to Belphegor, who I'm assuming's a demon. They had a real messed up sword and a bunch of stuff. Figured I'd swipe that."
"....I've been around my useless younger brother too long if I know how to pick locks."

"Nekketsu? Holy shit you're old."

"I figured that. You think I didn't figure that out? Why do you think I didn't push?"
Don't let him see your hand; that was a thing Minato picked up. Not something Shou had taught him directly, but he figured a conman like him would know.

Of course, Minato's hand was a constantly shifting deck of cards that threw up nothing but low suits and he was holding straight flushes up his sleeves, but Minato was used to fighting on the back foot. He needed to bait the attack out, see how it operated, know what he was up against. He was pulling more tricks out of his sleeves, the longer they fought. Ordinarily, he'd be relying on intel, or someone like Shef or Noriko to see what was going on, but he was alone.

Alright, he could deal. After all, Minato had tricks he hadn't revealed yet too.
Summon Rho Aias and load it into Gandiva. Blast Minato out of the way, fire Rho Aias out of Gandiva to create a shield to catch the charge and the lasers. Get a close look at what the Bodhisattva is doing. Also prep a healing potion.

"Like I keep telling you, I'm a goddess. I can do whatever I like. Within reason. I'd do this myself, except I'd FLOOD Generia and I happen to, like, not want mortals to die horribly."
