Arifureta Quotes

“Furthermore, I’ve heard quite a few stories about Kaori-sama from ardent believers of Kaorism. According to one adherent, after watching Yue prank Kaori-sama, he approached Kaori-sama and asked, “Should we sneak into her room at night and get back at her for you?” Supposedly, Kaori-sama flew into a rage upon hearing that and said, “Yue’s one of my best friends! If you harm even a hair on her head, I’ll disintegrate the lot of you!”

“Cam: My name is Cambantis, dark hunter of the forbidden depths. And I have only one thing to say. Our mighty Boss, Hajime Nagumo, the crimson sovereign of the white night, divine destroyer of—
A single gunshot interrupted the group’s reading. They all jumped and looked up at Hajime. “Don’t move. Don’t read another word. Move anything, especially your eyes, and I kill you.” He sounded like a terrorist as he gathered everyone’s magazines, ripped out the offending pages, threw them onto the ground, and incinerated them in 3000-degree flames. “Now then, let’s keep reading while I kill Cam.”

“The wave of cockroaches flew up above Hajime and the others, then, as if being pulled down by gravity, crashed into them as one solid mass. The party’s field of vision was filled with wriggling black bodies. Many of the cockroaches were squished on impact and left disgusting brown streaks as their bodies slid down the barrier. Those that survived crawled all around the barrier’s surface, seeking for a way in. “I-I can’t—” Disgusted beyond reason, Suzu fainted. Kouki rushed over to Suzu and grabbed her as she fell. “Suzu, don’t fall asleep! If you fall asleep it’s all over for us!” That was no exaggeration. If the party was swallowed up by that wave of cockroaches, they would no doubt be utterly broken mentally.”

“As the group discussed where to head next, they were suddenly interrupted by the sound of flapping wings. The sound they’d feared the most. Judging from how loud it was, it wasn’t just a few pairs of wings either. “Ah?!” The party’s expressions froze, and they hurried over to the edge of the platform and looked down. As they’d feared, the tidal wave of cockroaches was climbing their way up to them. “Fuuuuuuck!” “Mmm?! Draconic Thunder.” “Get away from meeeeeeeeeeeeeee!” “Nooooooooooooooo! Disintegrate, disintegrate, disintegrate!” “Begone, foul creatures! Dragonbreath!” Everyone’s hair stood on end, and they fired off their strongest attacks in a panic. Hajime unleashed a barrage of rockets from his Orkans, Yue summoned her Draconic Thunder, Shea fired off explosive slugs one after another, Kaori sent down a wave of disintegration, and Tio unleashed her malefic breath. Kouki and the others fired off their best long-range attacks as well. Everyone except Shizuku, who looked like she was about to faint.”

“No, this devil’s way worse. The devil of hell’s nothing compared to this guy. You’ve all seen this devil before... The black devil that dwells in kitchen corners, I mean...” Hajime’s description only made Kouki and the others more confused. In response, Hajime pulled out a single Cross Bit and sent it down below. He then pulled up a small crystal display to show everyone what its sensors picked up on. Yue and the others crowded around, and as soon as the blurry image came into focus— “Aaah?!” There were dozens of them. And for each one that was visible, there were likely dozens more. The terrifying devils whose name started with C. They scuttled around the ground, spreading chaos in their wake. From shadow to shadow they crawled, these devils who were sturdier than any other living creature. Whether in Tortus or on Earth, these devils possessed the unique magic capable of striking fear into the hearts of all. The bane of mothers and restaurant owners everywhere. Cockroaches.”
