The sixteenth and final chapter of the Kyakkou manga, which covers Chapter 3 in Volume 2 of the light novels.
Summary[]
At the carriage terminal on the day of departure, Yunyun hands gifts to the others as gratitude for letting her join the vacation, with Dust's party members quickly becoming acquainted with her. Dust proceeds to suggest him riding one of the two hired carriages alongside the girls, but at Keith's protesting settles for deciding through paper-scissors-rock.
It ends up with Dust, Keith, and Taylor being stuck into one carriage, a situation Dust and Keith start a quarrel over. That night as the caravan camps alongside the highway, the girls happily chat to a late hour, so Dust itching to try out the magic item given to him by Vanir walks up to the girls who cringe at his approach, then smashes the bead onto the ground when they shut their eyes at a gust of wind. The leaked smoke however seems to have no effect on the girls, thus the disappointed Dust heads to his corner for some sleep, only to discover in horror that Taylor and Keith, under the influence of the smoke blown their way, are now having the hots for him.
The morning after Dust managed to outrun the two of them until the effects of the smoke ran out, the three exhausted men settle for the incident being just an awful dream. Rin who rides with her party members that day though begins cozying up to Dust, and following their arrival at Arcanletia offers to walk around with him, much to his bewilderment. Suspecting the magical bead's effects finally working, Dust is soon lovingly approached by Lolisa and Yunyun, which sets off a standoff between the three girls.
Passing by some hot springs on their way to the inn, Lolisa finds the steam stinging, so Vanir explains how the city of sloth worships the useless goddess and thus made the air quality awful. This attracts the hostile glares from the surrounding inhabitants, at which Yunyun hurriedly tells Vanir not to say anything funny or else the locals who mostly worship the goddess Lady Aqua will play small harassing pranks on them. Shocked at Arcanletia being the headquarters of the aggravating Axis Church, Dust is then approached by an old woman offering for him to sign what she calls discount coupons while covering some parts of the paper. The paper upon being yanked out of her hands turns out to be a conversion form for the Axis Church, following which other inhabitants begin attempting to convert the gang through all sorts of hardsale tactics. Yunyun looking like the easiest to convince soon gets the most focus, until Dust chases all the lunatics off her, which prompts Yunyun to bashfully cozy up to him.
Finally settling down at the inn, Dust enjoys the empty mixed baths all by himself, until Yunyun wrapped in a towel walks in asking to join him. As the pair bashfully sit together, Dust contemplates making a move on her, when Rin in a towel comes up and becomes jealous at Yunyun's presence, followed by a naked Lolisa displeased at the other two girls starting off without her. The three girls proceed to argue about who is most qualified for being with Dust while rejecting his suggestion to have all three of them serving him at once, but just as they are about to fight it out with magic, Dust cools them down with a bucket of cold water. With their wits restored to them, the girls when faced with Dust asking them to serve him one at a time instead cast their magic spells on him.
Taylor and Keith who are curious about the infuriated girls walking out then comes in, to which the beaten-up Dust gives a vague explanation. As the two of them express concern at Dust who has had enough with women for the time being, Dust ponders that having male friends are essential.
Characters[]
Differences to other versions[]
- The manga omits Vanir and the Loli Succubus' rendezvous with the others at the carriage terminal, Dust's failed attempt to cheat at drawing straws in order to share a carriage with the girls, how the monsters along the highway get swept aside by Yunyun and Vanir, the girls' refusal at the campfire to bathe with the delinquent, the lead in to the half-naked Keith and Taylor advancing on Dust, and Vanir's prophesy about the possible horrendous fate awaiting Dust's butt prior to the hour-long chase.
- In the light novel, the first Axis follower hands Dust a conversion form of the Axis Church that is disguised as a discount coupon before describing the delinquent as being similar to them, and Vanir unlike his companions who are merely overwhelmed gets outright infuriated by the conversion attempts that sprout teachings hostile to the devilkind.
- The gang's interactions upon arriving at the inn, as well as Vanir showing up at the mixed baths to savour the negative emotions subsequent to Dust getting beaten up by the embarrassed girls are skipped in the manga.
Trivia[]
- The manga series was terminated at this point because of low ratings from the magazine's readers.
