#Aogami is alive as much as everyone else

Shad Plays SMTV Footnote 4: Die For Me

Following my fight with the swordsman, he told us to head to the Fairy Village, where he had taken the other humans to be treated by the fairy folk there. Thankfully Mr. Cool Glasses' sister was among the people there, she had apparently protected Dazai before getting taken but the fact she’s alive is good. With the Bethel squad back together, treating the students comes first. So we gotta go get some Golden Apples, but apparently Loki stole a lot of them. Gathering what he dropped, we deliver them to the king and queen to make medicine for the hurt students. There’s a lot of quests to do to help further assist with the medicine, as well as helping a Incubus get with a Silky (he’s in love, aww!), so I do the quests to get me prepped for the boss fights ahead. But one quest actually had me go after Loki since he...kind of kidnaped the goddess that handled the Golden Apples. As part human I couldn’t help but eat the fruit though, but she seemed to not blame me. The immortality Loki promised seemed not to happen...however. Or did it...? Anyway, following a bunch of quests and grind prep (I refused to be stuck on another bossfight) I ended up finally fusing Alice! I was informed by my friend Art that she wouldn’t be helpful in the fight, but I’m stubborn. Well reaching the area where Tao’s friend was, we make a move to stop her from becoming a Nahobino....by vowing to save her. The fight starts and...well first you gotta get rid of all the tentacles, and mutli hit attacks are obviously the better choice.  Lamda’s weak to Force and Bless, which I thankfully had at least one of the two on a demon and the other in the form of Shards.  I actually got unlucky my first attempt. I reached the second phase, where he becomes weak to fire and just...got hit with a lucky crit. I’d rather lose that way though. Being level 40 I was able to outlast it easy. Now here comes why I worked to get Alice: during the first encounter with this thing, it used Dark attacks. This is much the same in this fight. In SMTV if an attack misses, is blocked, or is absorbed, the turn for the side that attacked gets reduced and might even end instantly.  Alice absorbs dark, I myself block it.  We’re outlasting the fight. And getting our turns as fast as possible. Even if all Alice can do is normal attack, it’s still damage. And yeah that’s how I won the fight. But then tragedy struck... We wanted to save the girl...but we were too late to stop the Nahobino transformation. And unlike with us, the DEMON is the one who’s mind is in control. Aoi and Aogami are killed, and Tao is killed as well. However, Tao’s saint powers seem to activate and she uses her own life force to bring the Nahobino back from the dead. Sad as it is...we have no choice, and need to kill Tao’s friend as an act of mercy just to make sure everyone else is safe... When our other two allies come, Aoi has to make the tough call and tell them both...that both the person we tried to save and the one we tried to protect...are dead. The news hits them hard and Aogami even questions if we could have done something different. Aoi comforts him and they both seem to bond a bit more. Despite the serious loss, the PM doesn’t seem to care. And even when the four talk on the roof...it’s clear the loss hangs on their heads. With the school being attacked, it’s now closed for a while and once it opens, it’s Online Schooling for a while. Perfect excuse for us to do more world saving. But with the weakened power of Bethel Japan, we can’t go into the huge strike that is acted because of the attack committed. Yet despite all that, we’re told to go anyway. Aoi wanted to anyway, Tao gave him a second chance at life...better to use it fighting for what she wanted...right? But...the PM doesn’t trust the existence of the Nahobino, calling it the opposite of what God wants. 

But what does Aoi want...? What does Aogami want...? What...do I want?
