[He sure was... He's pretty glad Escha was able to piece it together from what he was able to give her though, honestly. He may have taken some risks that conversation, but it paid itself off in the end.]
--Then I'm glad I could get those answers to you. I'm glad we're finally able to do that.
Everyone kept saying we would save everyone and I didn't really believe them. But - even though things are difficult, I've started to think we can do it.
[God he really fucking hopes the dead thots won't just start turning into sex demons in the endgame log.]
...Mm, I think - or at least, I'd like to hope that's the case. If this place can sever your connection this much, no reason to think we can't cut it completely.
[GOD HE FUCKIN HOPES IT'S NOT CONSIDERING THEY HAVE TO KILL PINK SNAKE.]
...Most likely not? Probably just an effect of being in this place in general... Junpei said they were looking into ways to sever the tie more permanently anyway, right?
Haha, trust me! I'm right there with you. A schedule would be nice! A weekly breakdown! Something saying "on the seventh Sunday you'll have to fight a giant snake", you know?
It's what we call it when there are a ton of monsters around getting way too close to the town and we go to thin them out. Or when there's a particularly dangerous monster. That kind of thing!
[ did she not mention that Monster Slaying is part of her profession? ]
Escha! We need to swap tips and recipes for things—! Do you know how much easier my life would be if I could make explosives? I'm a ranged fighter, you know!
I - I would be honored to be your teacher! I don't know if it even works in your world, but I'll try! And - if you don't have the talent to do it the old-fashioned way, we can even ask Logy to teach you the new ways!
[HE MADE ESCHA TEAR UP. ESCHA JUST SAID IF HE DOESN'T HAVE TALENT THEY CAN BRUTE FORCE IT. What a wild turn this conversation has taken, he is looking delighted oh my god.]
What a kind teacher already! I'll leave myself in your care, alright? We'll find a way to make it work - it's fine. Wouldn't be my first time figuring out how to make something out of place fit in my world!
[He holds his hands up, and waves them... vaguely...]
Cultivators - ah, I don't know if I've mentioned before? We handle matters involving spirits, demons, monsters, the undead - things like that! Typically a cultivator uses líng qì to do their work, which is an internal form of energy. I developed a method using yuàn qì, a type of external energy.
[He does not mention that this is resentful energy and that he invented demonic cultivation it's fine.]

[God they're so close to the final stretch that he can really almost taste it now. He just hopes they don't trip at the finish line again.]

Even if we win, do you think we'll be able to go home safely?
[ And that she won't. You know. Be a sex demon. ]
... It's worth it, either way.

Exactly! Like the subjugation assignments at work.

What else have you done?

As for that, haha.]
Ah! Well - I created a new form of cultivation, once!
