Chapter 512: Staying with Friends
Added 2021-08-10 23:01:00 +0000 UTCAutumn Leal was tired. In the course of what she had thought was an ordinary delivery run, she was ambushed by a team of Purity loyalists. Outnumbered and outmatched, she had thought she was done for until the guild team she hadn’t known were trailing her in stealth appeared. They captured and took away the loyalists that survived the resulting ambush, leaving Autumn to complete her supply contract.
She didn’t like being bait, but she did like coming home alive, so she called the whole thing even, completed her deliveries and returned to the airship for the trip back. The airship was diverted slightly to pick up an expedition of adventurers operating in the wilderness, who proved to be an unusual bunch. There was a guild team, some unaffiliated adventurers and prisoners who turned out to be some of the Builder cultists that people had been talking about for so long. The magic rods sticking out of their flesh seemed to be triggering strange aura reaction, making them seem alien and bizarre.
More unusual still, at least to her, was the member of the group she recognised. The final trio of the expedition’s membership was made up of Jason Asano, along with two women with the iconic blue hair of the Rimaros family. They were talking inside a privacy screen when Jason spotted her and left the screen to approach her across the deck.
“G’day,” he said to her, his words accompanied by a smile that looked at weary as she felt. “Another delivery contract?”
“Yes,” she said warily, nodding in the direction of the blue-haired women. “Are they…?”
“Yeah.”
***
The skyship Jason was riding in was an unusual design. It looked like an ordinary ship suspended from three hot air balloons by huge brass chains, except that the balloons were massive, pale blue crystals. Looking for some solitude, Jason slipped over the side and under the ship, conjuring his cloak to keep him aloft. A shadow arm emerged from his back to grip the keel of the ship, forming a tether that pulled Jason along as he watched the landscape pass below.
“Look at this,” he said happily. “This is how it’s meant to be. Magic and wonders.”
Shade emerged from Jason’s shadowy cloak to float alongside Jason.
“Loath as I am to interrupt your moment of peace, Mr Asano, Miss Hurin has requested to speak with you. Again. She is becoming increasingly concerned at my repeated refusals. I normally wouldn’t bring it up, but it is Miss Hurin.”
“Quite right,” Jason said.
As much as he was enjoying drifting through the air, he owed Farrah too much to leave her hanging any longer. He’d already brushed her off too many times during his recent emo rampage. He closed his eyes, felt for the connection to Shade and expanded his senses. He saw through the body Shade had left in the cloud house, where Farrah was pacing back and forth in agitation.
“I’m fine,” Jason said through the familiar.
“Fine nothing,” she said, wheeling on Shade. “I’d reach through Shade and choke you if I could. What were you thinking, running off in that frame of mind?”
“It wasn’t the best choice,” Jason acknowledged. “At least that's on-brand for me.”
“You think cracking jokes will make me forget that you’re one self-impressed aristocrat away from murdering someone that will get you in real trouble?”
“It’s alright, Farrah. Shade pulled me back from the precipice.”
“The precipice of what?”
“Maybe we can talk about this when I’m not hanging from the underside of a skyship.”
“Why are you doing that?”
“Why isn’t everyone? It’s awesome. I just… I needed something fun, Farrah. Something simple and joyous. It’s easy to forget that’s a thing, you know?”
In the cloud house, Farrah dropped into a chair as if the rage propping her up had just run out, leaving only tiredness and concern.
“Jason, I don’t like you being out there alone. Not when you’re running the ragged edge.”
“I’m not alone. And these Rimaros people aren’t so bad, as it turns out. I mean, the royal family dragging me into their mess was a dick move, but they did think I wasn’t around to get hurt. They might have their own agendas, but they seem pretty decent. It’s a little sad that came as a surprise.”
“Are you at least on the way back?”
“Yeah, but I’m not going to portal.”
Farrah nodded.
“You don’t break up the expedition until the contract is done,” she said. “During the monster surge, that means when everyone is home safe.”
***
The airship descended through the skies of Rimaros. As it headed for the sky dock towers on the island of Livaros, they entered a rapidly increasing level of air traffic. One vehicle stood out, both for its design and the fact that it was heading for the royal sky island and not Livaros.
“Is that a flying cottage?” Zara asked.
A rustic garden cottage, complete with garden, was moving through the air within a shimmering orb. Jason took his eyes from the orb to peer at Vesper’s feet. Vesper noticed his gaze.
“What are you looking at?” she asked.
“I was just wondering if you had ruby slippers.”
“Why?”
“Do you?”
“No.”
Jason pointed up at the cottage.
“You should be careful it doesn’t fall on you anyway. I’ve seen that happen before.”
“You’ve seen that vessel before?” Zara asked.
“Not in person, but there’s a famous story about something similar where I come from. If I recall correctly, isn’t the main road connecting the towns on Arnote made of yellow bricks?”
“What in the world are you talking about?” Vesper asked.
***
Soramir and Liara were waiting on a landing platform on top of the royal palace. Trenchant Moore was standing silently behind them.
“Do not speak unless addressed directly,” Soramir instructed Liara. “She’s not known for being tolerant of mortals. When I bow, you don’t.”
“Why not?”
“Because you’re a Rimaros. Never bow unless you know exactly why you’re doing it. You can bow, Commander Moore.”
“As you will it, Ancestral Majesty.”
Soramir's behaviour gave Liara far more effective warning than his words. For her entire life he had been a legend; an unseen figure representing the pinnacle of power and authority. He had been far more approachable in his sensibilities than she had expected on finally meeting him, but still radiated power that placed him second in her mind only to the gods. To see him almost nervous was an unsettling revelation.
The cottage orb paused at the invisible magic barrier, where even the most prestigious visitors went through rigorous checks. The diamond-rank Zila Rimaros oversaw the checks, going into the cottage for a time before emerging and flying off. The vehicle moved through the magical barrier and floated down to settle on the platform, the orb vanishing to leave a cottage garden incongruously sitting on the roof of the royal palace. The door opened and a woman emerged.
She was a celestine with ruby hair and alabaster skin; a fiery contrast to the cool, sapphire blue of the three Rimaros royals. She wore a white summer dress with embellishments of yellow and orange. The dressed swayed gently as she made her way down the path to stand before the trio, greeting them with a slight nod. Soramir responded with a bow as Trenchant Moore behind him echoed the gesture.
“First Sister, we are honoured by your visit,” Soramir said in greeting.
“I have passed the position of First Sister along,” Dawn said.
“My apologies, Hierophant.”
“I see that you are not unschooled in the disposition of the wider cosmos.”
“Yes, Hierophant. I have spent some time travelling beyond my world. I have only returned in these times of trouble. I must thank you for accepting my request and visiting us. I am in your debt, both for bringing your knowledge and grace to our kingdom and for accepting my request to bring certain people with you.”
“Actually, Lord Rimaros, there was a problem with your request.”
Liara felt Soramir go tense next to her.
“Problem, Hierophant?”
A slight smile teased the corner of Dawn’s lips.
“The list of names you wished me to bring along was incomplete. A failure of communication, perhaps. I took it upon myself to add the appropriate names and bring them with me.”
Soramir relaxed.
“Thank you for correcting my oversight, Hierophant. I am in your debt over again. We have prepared accommodations for you, or will you perhaps be staying with friends?”
“Your accommodations will no doubt be sufficient to my needs,” Dawn said.
“Then please come with me. My descendent, Liara, and the highly capable Commander Moore will see to the disposition of the people you have brought with you.”
Dawn turned to look at the cottage and eleven people emerged, looking around. A half-dozen were silver rank, along with four bronze-rankers and one gold. Most were human but there was a leonid, an elf and a celestine amongst them. There were also two outworlders, both bronze-rank. One had clearly been a human originally, and while the other one was as well, in poor lighting he could be confused for a leonid or even a life-like golem. She had never seen a human standing next to a leonid without being dwarfed before.
Soramir’s attention was drawn to the sword the leonid was carrying loosely by the scabbard. The scabbard was suppressing the aura within, but his powerful senses saw through it. The aura was identical to that of Jason Asano, to the point of Soramir almost felt like Asano was standing in front of him. Part of that was the sword had a profound soul bond to its owner, and part was the nature of Asano himself. Soramir knew what a gestalt being was and that this nature was responsible for Asano's aura feeling almost tangible. His soul was not separate from his physical being, giving a substantive feeling to the projection of that soul, his aura.
Dawn followed Soramir’s gaze and reached out to touch the pommel of the weapon. It disappeared from his senses as completely as if it had been teleported away. Soramir recognised that it was not any kind of essence ability that hid it but pure aura manipulation. He wondered if Dawn had been responsible for Jason’s aura control, which was as formidable for his rank as his aura’s strength. He was not fool enough to ask the question, however.
Once the people had walked off the cottage garden and onto the large landing pad, the cottage floated into the air. The globe once more appeared around it as the cottage rapidly shrank. Once it was small enough to fly into Dawn’s hand, she set it at the point where her dress cinched at the waist, the globe hanging like an ornament despite not being attached to anything.
Soramir led Dawn away, leaving the gaggle of people to Liara and Trenchant. Trenchant moved up to stand beside Liara as one of the group stepped forward. To the surprise of Liara and Trenchant, it was not the gold-ranker, who stayed at the back, but one of the silvers. He was a large human with broad shoulders, olive complexion and dark hair. He bowed to a carefully measured depth to each of the gold-rankers, demonstrating his etiquette training.
“My name is Humphrey Geller, of Greenstone.”
“Liara Rimaros. This is Commander Trenchant Moore of the royal guard.”
“Greetings, your highness. Commander. On behalf of my companions, I thank you for your hospitality.”
“That’s a princess? This day’s turning out pretty sweet.”
“Taika! You’re making Humphrey look bad.”
“Sorry, Neil. Sorry Princess, bro. It’s nice to meet you all.”
The man-mountain’s voice was friendly and surprisingly high-pitched. The celestine and another silver rank woman snorted out laughter while Humphrey took on a long-suffering expression.
“Lindy!”
“Clive, he called her Princess bro. How are you not laughing?”
“Time and place, Belinda,” Clive said.
“Sophie’s laughing too,” Belinda pointed out.
“I don’t think Clive’s stupid enough to tell her off,” Gary said. “She’s too scary.”
“That’s sweet of you to say, Gary,” Sophie told him, putting a hand on his forearm.
“I apologise for my companions, your highness,” Humphrey said. “They’re working adventurers and spent little time in high society.”
"At least we won't need to double-check who they are," Trenchant said. "They're very obviously the companions of Jason Asano."
The auras of the group had been a mix of curiosity, wonder, eagerness, trepidation and nervousness. As soon as Jason Asano’s name passed Trenchant’s lips, that changed. Six auras locked onto Trenchant like snipers. The others reacted, but the six that were now raptor-focused on Trenchant were suddenly so sharp and alert that Liara felt her hackles rise. Even though she outranked them all and the attention wasn’t directed at her, it was pointed enough that she was impressed at Trenchant’s lack of reaction.
Of the visitors, only the unreadable gold ranker at the back maintained her equanimity at the mention of Asano. She stepped forward to defuse the situation.
“We are all acquaintances of Mr Asano,” she said, with a short bow. “Arabelle Remore, of Vitesse. While we don’t wish to be rude, we have travelled far to meet friends long thought lost to us. We do not wish to dismiss your hospitality but we would like to see Jason Asano and Farrah Hurin at the earliest opportunity. My son should be with them.”
“Jason Asano is currently on a contract,” Liara said. “It was moved up unexpectedly due to Builder activity, so he is expected back shortly. As far as I know, Miss Hurin and Mr Remore should be at their shared residence on Arnote, one of the main islands of Rimaros.”
“If you will follow me,” Trenchant Moore said, “I will take you there directly.”
Comments
Not to minimize addiction but, I swear that I go through the relaxation from getting my fix, only to start getting stressed again when the end of a new chapter is nearing. Is there a twelve-step program for this?

loco
2021-09-01 13:16:12 +0000 UTCSomehow, I wish Soramir knew about Jason "killing" her projection.
Meerschaum
2021-09-01 01:41:42 +0000 UTCHere is a suggestion for more clarity: To the surprise of Liara and Trenchant, it was not the gold-ranker, who stayed at the back, but one of the silvers. "... it was one of the silver rankers, not the gold ranker, who stayed in the back"
Bert Babb
2021-08-28 15:32:06 +0000 UTCIm glad that Autumn is ok, l really like her. Also glad that Rimaros' Adventure Society is on the ball and taking action against the Purity cult by covertly following deliveries with an interdiction team.
Bert Babb
2021-08-28 15:04:10 +0000 UTCGood, Jason needed a mental bacta bath. He’s been running on nothing but mental stimpacks for months, if not years, now
2021-08-14 00:16:11 +0000 UTCThis didn't even occur to me... The horror
Evernap
2021-08-11 20:09:01 +0000 UTCGood, Arabelle can knock some mental health back into Jason
Rebecca
2021-08-11 12:36:44 +0000 UTCThe dressed swayed
Midjji
2021-08-11 09:02:19 +0000 UTCAt first I was hyped that Jason got another person he could trust coming from earth. Then even more hyped they are about to meet. Now I'm worried that Jason will see him and just snap a little. Seeing as there is now a chance for Muppet to get brought over and used.
Victor Mijares
2021-08-11 09:01:30 +0000 UTC"Very obviously" would be better as clearly
Midjji
2021-08-11 08:49:57 +0000 UTCAnother issue that is common is the use of "They’re" its alllrigt to shorten "they are" this way, but isnt the general rule to only do so when somone in speech would do so?
Midjji
2021-08-11 08:49:18 +0000 UTCThere are a bunch of grammar errors in this one: "They’re working adventurers and (have) spent little"The aura was identical to that of Jason Asano, to the point (that) Soramir almost felt like Asano was standing in front of him
Midjji
2021-08-11 08:46:21 +0000 UTCAnd I think that is precisely the reason why the phoenix gave her that job
Leander
2021-08-11 08:31:36 +0000 UTCThe "She’s not known for being tolerant of mortals" when we know she had to deal with Jason is kind of fun ^^
Nicolas Hebert
2021-08-11 06:49:26 +0000 UTCThank God!
Joel Sasmad
2021-08-11 06:48:05 +0000 UTCWill be fixed shortly, thank you.
Shirtaloon
2021-08-11 05:49:26 +0000 UTCNice, Jason's therapist came with.
Kotawa Ma
2021-08-11 05:45:46 +0000 UTCDawn has been running around briefing big wigs about the surge and builder attack. Her name should be known. Plus it sounds like Soramir has already heard Dawn's name before
Vindico
2021-08-11 05:13:25 +0000 UTCIf there isn't a monster attack, that forces everyone to go to action stations, just before they all get to meet up, I'm going to be sorely disappointed ...oh the anticipation is sweet
Vindico
2021-08-11 05:09:33 +0000 UTCI'm so hype up for tomorrow's chapter!
Asurathe13th
2021-08-11 03:49:59 +0000 UTCHave soramir apologize to stash pretending to be jason (naked of course!), and stash asking for a biscuit.
2021-08-11 03:48:32 +0000 UTCI feel like I’ve waited years for this reunion
John Bell
2021-08-11 03:40:41 +0000 UTCThe waiting sucks only because we like the story so frigging much.
Bryce
2021-08-11 03:40:01 +0000 UTCI just read both books and caught up to this chapter in just over a week…. I need more!!!
2021-08-11 03:00:56 +0000 UTC*Raptor Screech!!!*...*Claws for friend reunion with bloody abandon!*
SimpleGreen
2021-08-11 02:53:21 +0000 UTCI'm seriously considering just ignoring the story for like a month, and coming back when it's all here. Waiting like this is KILLING MEEEEE
Melchisedec Bailey
2021-08-11 02:29:02 +0000 UTCLook man, all you need to remember is, be it gold, or whoever, anyone who fucks with Jason, now has his whole team to deal with and they didn't come to take any of their shit. They'll take the whole kingdom down with them.
2021-08-11 02:08:13 +0000 UTCIt gives his aura new debuffs but doesnt actually strengthen the aura itself. See Chapter 411 on Royal Road.
Russell Widger
2021-08-11 01:53:03 +0000 UTCThis was a really great paced chapter. We are due for a nice long reprieve before the drama ramps up again. Other wise it will be like the book is stuck in a single gear.
2021-08-11 01:52:43 +0000 UTCShirt I would pay you double this month if you could just have Dawn give Soramir shit in front of everyone for getting Jason tangled up in his petty family BS, when he should have been given time to rest and have fun after saving Earth. Maybe have her throw in a little comment about how his princesses could only dream to catch his eye.
2021-08-11 01:46:35 +0000 UTC“I’m not alone. And these Rimaros people aren’t so bad, as it turns out. " ??? excuse me Jason did your only choice to not crack was desillusion and a dream path? they are like the other you know, so buddy buddy friend with them now is kind of ........its like he do a 180 turn or his psychee gonna crack hard (or he have cracked already and its one of the thing who happen because he cracked) and that doesnt change what they do and have done So the author gonna again stop the cracking and let Jason return to have a happy smile and be buddy buddy with them in the end when they stomp and keep pushing on his face and he accept it all with a smile because he cant crack a little and say fuck you to them? and so he smile and accept to be the bich with smile, when he gonna finnaly say fuck to people like them? And its now that Dawn move and get spotlight and etc on Jason and blabla, why she not move before when she know for sure what Jason was living, i dont see the difference moving now or before, except that stop and help Jason to not suffer and crack, and with what she have planned with phoenix for his future suffering, she is truly a bitch in the end in my view I want to see Biscuit ;P (more scene with this, its too good to pass :) Im really excited about the next few chapter when they gonna regroup ;P and what Shirtaloon plot and writting he have prepared for this and for the future (so much possibility with all the character and line of plot and sub-plot, i cant wait to get to read them :p
Zarik0
2021-08-11 01:42:37 +0000 UTCThis is how I wish the passage went: “Thank you for correcting my oversight, Hierophant. I am in your debt over again. We have prepared accommodations for you, or will you perhaps be staying with friends?” I will be actually, I’m sure Jason will be eager to catch up given it’s been a few months. Besides his barbecue’s are legendary, I wouldn’t want to miss that.
2021-08-11 01:25:43 +0000 UTCJason needs a good comeback for what dawn last said to Jason about "better to be a queen than a pawn"
LEMON
2021-08-11 01:25:32 +0000 UTCI guess. I’m hoping for some Dawn POV to get some details on the trip to the other side of the planet. And how does Soramir even know to involve her? Adventure Society?
Robert Nugent
2021-08-11 01:24:35 +0000 UTCI’m guessing that the builder, having bent the agreement, has freed up Dawn a bit in response
DB
2021-08-11 01:12:51 +0000 UTCSo what happened to Dawn’s whole, “you gotta get Jason yourselves because I’ll draw too much attention?” Forty chapters later and not only does she bring the team, but she lands a flying house on the roof of a royal residence.
Robert Nugent
2021-08-11 01:09:53 +0000 UTCAs the cliud house is one of Jason's spirit domains, I feel that Vesper being in there would be quite dangerous for her
Russell Widger
2021-08-11 01:06:03 +0000 UTCLove the chapter, so looking forwards to what comes next! One correction, shouldn’t: ‘ Clive, she called him Princess bro’ be ‘ Clive HE called HER Princess bro’?
Catherine
2021-08-11 00:59:05 +0000 UTCI’m looking forward to Dawn hearing that the Builder took vessels, threatened Jason through intermediaries, and shared information about Asano that no one other then a GAB should know. Which seems like it broke both the spirit and the actualities of his non-interference agreement. Should open Dawn up to being able to offer more assistance at the very least.
Craig M
2021-08-11 00:57:49 +0000 UTCSo we can expect an initial meeting on Friday?
Robert Nugent
2021-08-11 00:50:56 +0000 UTCFinally
Albert Garcia
2021-08-11 00:43:31 +0000 UTCHe called it out to Zara (or was it Liara?) in their meeting because Purity responded to his deliveries and his contract only allowed that if he was directly interfering.
Alexander Dupree
2021-08-11 00:35:51 +0000 UTC“You don’t break up the expedition until the contract is done,” she said. “During the monster surge, that means when everyone is home safe.” No death flag there. Nope. No death flag at all.
Robert Nugent
2021-08-11 00:34:43 +0000 UTCMore shade?
Alexander Dupree
2021-08-11 00:33:44 +0000 UTCSounds like the adventure society is taking more notice of the deliveries going missing. I bet Jason's team gets to investigate a certain one east of his previous deliveries.
Austin
2021-08-11 00:28:45 +0000 UTCCue the every “everyone is Jason” complaints now.
Robert Nugent
2021-08-11 00:28:04 +0000 UTC> “Clive, she called him Princess bro. How are you not laughing?” Should that be "he called her Princess bro"? Otherwise I'm not entirely clear how to parse that exchange.
Monadologist
2021-08-11 00:27:57 +0000 UTCYup that's my count too
Austin
2021-08-11 00:27:32 +0000 UTCTook me two readings to sort out the passenger list. 1 gold ranker = the badly needed magical therapist. 6 silver = the biscuiteers plus Gary. 4 bronze = two Earthlings and Farrah’s folks. Right?
Robert Nugent
2021-08-11 00:27:04 +0000 UTCJason Has to have wizard of oz on crystal in his cloud house and someone is going to unwittingly share it with Vesper.
Scott
2021-08-11 00:26:23 +0000 UTC“I was just wondering if you had ruby slippers.” An 82 year old cultural reference from the other side of the planet, I grew up in Kansas and am still occasionally shocked by the cultural hegemony of the Wizard of Oz. This is, what, the third reference in the series if you include the Sean Connery classic Zardoz?
Robert Nugent
2021-08-11 00:23:39 +0000 UTCAm the only one excited for Jason to finally get his soul tuning set back? If I remember correctly, it increases his aura strength as well.
Graham Murray
2021-08-11 00:21:11 +0000 UTCMore Taika is always a great thing.
Logrus
2021-08-11 00:13:58 +0000 UTCAmazing!!! Shirt, I’m not crying, you are crying. Great chapter. Wizard of oz reference was classic asano. So much fun
Greg Lambert
2021-08-11 00:11:42 +0000 UTCJason (formally) bows: I'm sorry stashe please accept these paltry offerings. Two forms dart forward and begin to chomp on the biscuits offered. Jason looking up: "Uhh, why are there two of you?" Neil looking up and brushing cumbs off: "Someone had to take over taking the piss out of everyone..."
Grasenrack
2021-08-11 00:10:43 +0000 UTCThe reunion at hand is near. Good god I think the entire narration of the announcement of the ff7 remake is perfect for this moment. You are such a tease shirt.
rizen
2021-08-11 00:07:13 +0000 UTCFinally
2021-08-11 00:03:48 +0000 UTCI’m hoping it can slash open apertures at least
James Faulkner
2021-08-11 00:02:48 +0000 UTCYes, let the ship truly begin haha
James Faulkner
2021-08-11 00:00:49 +0000 UTCI wonder what would be the most jaw dropping way Jason could say hi to dawn, probably hitting on her. That would be hilarious. “Hey gorgeous, What’s a girl like you doing in a place like this?” In front of all these terrified gold/diamond rankers.
Hayden Leech
2021-08-11 00:00:10 +0000 UTCOh there’s definitely still time for that when she hears about how Jason has been treated
James Faulkner
2021-08-11 00:00:01 +0000 UTCI wonder if that's who Dawn added
Joseph Dizdar
2021-08-10 23:57:02 +0000 UTCI feel like Jason didn't really make many crystal videos on earth. The only time it's mentioned is when he's in the first transition zone Plus if they reach the cloud house before him he'll probably feel them arrive. It is part of his domain.
Austin
2021-08-10 23:56:06 +0000 UTCI was hoping Dawn would rip soramir a new one. Fucking prick.
jeffrey niski
2021-08-10 23:54:25 +0000 UTCLmao, Jason roasting Vesper as she’s standing there confused is so good. I hope Taika hears him later and laughs in her face, I bet that’d make her implode 😂
James Faulkner
2021-08-10 23:51:50 +0000 UTCBoomjams

2021-08-10 23:51:45 +0000 UTCOooooooooooooooo. Yass!!!

2021-08-10 23:48:06 +0000 UTCYay tyftc! Now I have something good to look forward to tomorrow :)
2021-08-10 23:46:00 +0000 UTCI guess it's "Dawned" on Soramir ;)
Severin Hans
2021-08-10 23:45:20 +0000 UTCIt's chapters like these which make me think Shirt should hold the title "The King of Tease"!
Myzifer
2021-08-10 23:42:17 +0000 UTC….we want MORE!!!!!!!!!
Louis Glick
2021-08-10 23:39:52 +0000 UTC“ As soon as Jason Asano’s name passed Trenchant’s lips, that changed. Six auras locked onto Trenchant like snipers.” This line gave me goosebumps. So good. Showing us just how honed his friends are on seeing Jason safe.
2021-08-10 23:38:43 +0000 UTCThanks for the chapter :)
Alsia
2021-08-10 23:38:02 +0000 UTCPerfect. Jason proves to Autumn he’s princess worthy. The power balance in Rimaros shifted massively in Jason’s favor. And Liara was named a bro. Just perfect.

2021-08-10 23:33:02 +0000 UTCI would have to go back and check but i think in the first interludes between vol 1 and 2 something was said about being the head of the cult in this region of the cosmos or some such, so each area might have their own "first sister"
2021-08-10 23:31:10 +0000 UTCCan’t wait for yet another legendary Asano barbecue! Should be coming up soon I hope.
2021-08-10 23:31:09 +0000 UTCThey got the band back together. Squeee! I hope.

2021-08-10 23:28:57 +0000 UTCI wonder how big the cult of the World Phoenix is, or if the World Phoenix has lots of cults with lots of first sisters. Because if the cult has to cover the entire cosmos... that’s a massive undertaking.
