Looks like you guys had some fun while I was gone, but even after hunting down a few daemons back in my world, nothing beats the enemies that pop around this place.

Which brings me to the main point of this: anyone interested in taking down that two-headed troll?

[Insert dumb, very ugly scribble of said troll.]

Tried to take it down on my own, but that thing is a lot tougher than it looks. Even I have to admit that I'm not strong enough as I am right now. [Combination of troll being a big high level boss and the fact that he has to work with his Aspect skills and unable to utilize all of his usual artes.] Not sure if anyone could take it down on their own, but I'd sure as hell like to watch and fight whoever does.

I'll be taking another go at it to figure out more of its weaknesses, but I won't deny anyone who wants to take a crack it themselves with me. I'm less interested in the money, so we can figure out how to split the rewards later.

I'll also be working on the other hunts, so if anyone needs help with those, I'll gladly lend my sword.

Of course you would try to fight it on your own.

Heh, it would be weirder if I didn't, right? That's just the kind of daemon I am.

It certainly didn't take you long to pick another fight after ours. [Are you substitute Hyde?]

Did you even give yourself time to recover?

I had enough. Besides, our fight was more of a warmup exercise for me.

The whole healing magic and potions didn't hurt, though.

[Did he immediately get up the next day to train after that fight despite the injuries sustained? Yes. Yes he did.]

I nearly broke your ribs. [That was a warm-up? He can't be heard, but he's sighing.]

What weaknesses did you managed to uncover while taking on the troll yourself? Or any information worth mentioning.

I've ran my own hand through the full length of a sword even after getting my ass kicked and still fought. As long as I can hold a sword, a few broken ribs wouldn't stop me.

[Can't be seen but Rokurou is definitely laughing.]

It is very tall, ugly as hell, and its hide is tough as steel. My blades could barely cut through it. It's also surprisingly agile for its size, but it's also a troll. Not the smartest thing out there and fights more with brute strength than tactics. The two heads, however, give it an advantage as it increases its range of vision. Hard to really sneak up on it.

Not sure how it handles magic since that's not really my forte. From what I could analyze, it does have a few weak points on its body, particularly the joints and obviously the head.

But that's your hand, not your ribs. [Because the difference really matters.]

Having some magic users might still prove to be beneficial. Usually if it's strong on one aspect, the other aspects are generally weaker. Eitherway, it lines up with most stories that have trolls in them.

Still involves pain, and I fight through it like a true warrior. [More like a true idiot—]

But hopefully a few speak up. If not, might have to go into town and see if there are some items that could be used as a substitute. They sell those kind of things right?

[Never actually needing magic, he never paid much attention.]

I suppose, but even with pain, it's easier to keep a fight going when you still have another hand. Broken ribs make it difficult for you to move rather quickly. [Is he seriously getting technical about this?]

I wonder if it can handle ingesting poisons? Might be able to harm it from the inside.

You want to break my ribs and have a rematch? [Rokurou please no. No one would be able to tell if he's serious or joking. He's not that much of an idiot but well.]

Poisons, huh? Is that something you can do?

Don't blame me if you die. [He's not a great influence either.]

I should be able to. I know enough about what goes into medicine to create something deadly.

If you managed to kill me I'd gladly give you all the credit. [At least he's a good sport about it??? And why is no one stopping this.]

But if that's the case, then poison could be useful. Would it be possible to coat our weapons with it, too?

I'm not interested in a killing match. [So he writes.]

I did consider looking into that some time ago, before Hyde assumed all control.

But those are the most fun, you know. [What a daemon.]

Would it be hard to figure out?

Find someone else for your kill or be killed obsession. [Not doing it. Nope.]

I would just need to find a mixture that won't cause wear on the weapon overtime. Or perhaps the weapons need to be coated with something to be durable when exposed to the chemicals.

Think I'm starting to miss Hyde... [Kidding. Mostly. ~~Kazuma is laaame~~]

I'll look into it. Given all the magic in this place, there's bound to something that should work.

Let me know if you find anything.

[He's not gonna bother with that Hyde remark.]

Will do—and let me know if you manage to make something on your end.
