"Ooooor let's not rush into this without actually knowing what we're fighting. How about we take a look, sneak around, see what we're up against, and THEN actually go get some gear after we know what we're up against? I mean, we don't exactly know what this Demon General's packing and I'm sure as hell not paying for all of your equipment for you if you end up taking dark magic to a light magic fight. I only literally just met you."
"N-neither am I! Payment on delivery, as you mortals say."

2942
"Yeah, t-thugs will be thugs. I-it's not uncommon to try something like that."
Stabbo le footpad

"Yeah. Look, I trust Rio here to kick ass and take names. She's pretty reliable at ass-kicking. And also someone I owe a LOT to- still gotta pay you back for my idiot brother, I'm STILL so sorry for that- but.....is she really going to be enough to fight a Demon General?"
Suddenly, Kazuto chimes in.
"If I could point something out, your goblin friend there just jacked a Demon General's weapons, we're in the middle of one of the most adventurer-filled cities on the entire continent, we have a literal goddess....I think....on our side, and also, they don't exactly have either an army or all that much incentive to go loud. Think about it. If those demons were trying to go drag them back to wherever the Demon Lord is......that means they're not exactly popular back home, either. You see where I'm going with this, right?"

2944
"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!"

2945
"A demon like that? He's probably some low-level guy who got promoted. They wouldn't waste their big guns on Begnin. As for fighting a Demon General?"
"I kinda figured you people could handle them. It's not like they're any different from the demons you just sliced up into a million pieces. They're just, uh, packing a lil' more firepower!"
"Okay. Please tell me Serena didn't just suggest we go and fight a Demon General. Come on, even 42-1 here has to get that that's a terrible idea, no offense."

2946
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?"

2947
"Good, good. This is going to be the beginning of a beautiful friendship, my new errand monkey."

2948
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."

Acquired 4400 rhea!
Acquired the Prototype Powder Blade!

"What are you, a vamp-actually, you know what, that WOULD explain the blood drinking and the paleness. Alright, that was a stupid question."

2950
"Nekketsu? Holy shit you're old."

2951
"Alright, maybe, maybe we can go and appeal these wishes to my mom. Yes, even you, Rio. We can get your wishes appealed if it means you'll quit glaring at me like I killed your cat every time I so much as move. However, you want that done, I need you to do me a favor and help me get rid of the Demon Lord, because my mom won't let me go back up there if I mess up down here and come home a failure. Deal?"
Then 42-1 speaks again.
"....ah. I see. You're one of those fancy construct thingies. You look real.....fleshy, for one, though. Alright, here's the deal. You tag along with me, do what I ask you to, and I give you a LOT of shiny pieces of metal that you can use to exchange for things like, uh, food! Or more tea to make for me! Or....whatever it is people like you even want."

2952
"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.

"Oh, you don't even know the half of it. You think she screws up your wishes? Why do you think I keep complaining about Freya? She can't even do the one thing I get to do, because MOOOOM decides that I have to learn to share! At least give me Discordia; she's a total nerd but she can actually do things right!"
Then 42-1 speaks up.
"You don't know what rhea is? Where've you been for the whole of mortal existence, under a rock?"

2954
"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."

2955
Serena takes a proffered cup, a smug grin on her face.
"Thank you.....whoever you are. It's nice to know that someone appreciates my contributions. Maybe I should take you on, a servant who'll give me what I want. What would you say to, say, a million rhea?"

Kazuto looks up.
"Okay, firstly....I was here to help bust a bunch of people out of here, as many as I could. Not because I'm particularly looking to be a hero, but because they offered us like two-hundred rhea per person we got out of here. I'm due twelve-hundred rhea. Maybe another four because of these succubus chicks. Secondly....
"Did she just say one million rhea?"

Then Yliss speaks.
"Okay, lady. One, I can't just warp out of here. My mom would kill me. And then you. And then everyone else. Two, I can't undo wishes on Generia. That's ALSO my mom's thing, that was the deal; you mortals have to be smart, because we need smart mortals to kill the Demon Lord. If you're not smart, that's NOT my problem. If you want to kill Freya, you'll have to find a way to get her here, and if you want to undo this wish, well, no takebacks. Unless you want me to go all the way to my mom, the top goddess of literally everything that lives on Generia, to make her fix you!"
