Having stopped the necromancer’s onslaught and ensured that Hero’s Rest is in good hands, Satou and friends resume their travels across the neighboring countries. However, demons seem to be wreaking havoc everywhere they go! As Satou’s party solves problem after problem, he decides it’s time to give the party members’ gear a much-needed upgrade. And seizing this moment of opportunity, the architect of the attacks advances on the Great Sorceress Arcatia!
Much as expected, an entertaining cosy travel journal mixed in with a bit of light-hearted actions that is carried by its characters. It is good to see the crew grow and become powerful enough to deal with some of the stronger opponents of the series on their own. The world is a bit odd, and the main plot progresses slowly. The fawning over Satou is a bit cringe even if Satou tends to deflect it and shows no romantic interest in them, but that is nothing new. All in all, a solid addition to the series and a good read.
