Thanks for the story! __MD is one of the few stories that I have really followed from the start all the way to the end, and I really enjoyed it. __I really liked all the interactions between the characters and the main trio especially, even when they acted in frustrating but believable ways. By extension, the one thing I didn't really like i think is having Kaori being absent for so long, and then losing her memories of her time unconscious. __Seeing all the characters - and especially Ash - grow throughout the books was great, and it's sad that we won't see them anymore. __If there's one character I disliked, I'd say it's Keiko's grandmother. I feel like she was maybe a bit too one-dimensional, but there aren't any others that really come to mind. __Overall, thank you for the amazing story, and I'll definitely be checking out your next story (and trying to catch up with AA)... Though I probably won't do the same comment every chapter as for this one.

Thanks for the chapter! __So Kaori is going back to her university. As she said she probably doesn't really need to, but it's not a bad idea. Though it's going to get annoying with her pregnancy. __Keiko actually took charge of the Compound in order to change at least some of the stupid traditions they have. Hopefully it'll work, they'd be much better if they weren't so stupidly against their own magic. Though I think she's severly underestimating the time it'll take for them to accept magic. __And Ash is having some fun with the maids. I am not that surprised honestly. Still I hope that they can do something for the damage she caused herself with that dark spell, she really deserves more than "just a few years" after all she did. __Luvine is cute as usual.

Thanks for the chapter! __Well that was something. __So Kaori is still somewhat intimidated by Sinneah huh. I guess she didn't have much time with her either, but it'll probably get better once they've lived in the same house for some time. __And well, the three maids certainly have their work cut out for them. And it's unlikely to be the last mess of that type too, though maybe not quite as big the next times.

Thanks for the chapter! __Well, Keiko and Yumi are just slightly attracted to each other... just a bit. And Sinneah is even more shameless than Ash, and that's saying something. __I guess now Kaori and Yumi will know each other a lot better. __This is going to get wild next chapter.

Thanks for the chapter! __A nice quiet chapter where they get to relax is always nice, and they very much deserve it too. __Ash may end up being needed sometimes, but they should have already killed most of the high leveled Nightmares out there, so others should be able to take care of what's left. __Kaori is definitely not losing any time in getting drunk.

Thanks for the chapter! __Well that's a fun scenario that Kaori thought of... and a pretty likely one too. The new maids are going to have a lot of work if that party goes as wild as it can. __And Ash may not be the best with words, but she does have other ways to show Keiko how much she cares for her.

Thanks for the chapter! __Well, seems the manor was a good investment, it seems like it's a really nice place. Also Ash immediately went for the loot, but I'm not sure they'd want to use what she found. __That conversation was super wholesome, and I'm glad that they were able to have it and not keep it in the back and ends up causing problems. Plus it shows a lot of growth on Kaori's part, which is really nice.

Thanks for the chapter! __Keiko does have a point that she's going to need something to do. As we already saw before with her pregnancy, she's not someone that can just stay doing nothing for long periods of time. __And Kaori actually asks Keiko to talk, let's hope that it goes well (though I don't really doubt it will, both Ash and Kaori really love Keiko, so there's nothing to worry about on that point).

Thanks for the chapter! __And it looks like it's Keiko's turn to suddenly feel insecure. She's severely underestimating how much the other two care about her though. __At least the others seem to have noticed that she wasn't feeling too great, so she just need to actually open up when they ask her.

Thanks for the chapter! __They both agreed, so they're (unsurprisingly) going with that plan... after a few weeks of rest and "normal" dating stuff, insofar as they can actually do normal with Ash in the mix. __And honestly they all deserve some time to rest and relax a bit after all that happened.

Thanks for the chapter! __Ash is hesitating a lot, but she really wanted to have a kid back then with Keiko, even if she didn't really admit it. So I can't really see her not accept that option. __Yumi and Sinneah going for a trip just by themselves now that everything is mostly over is pretty nice. They deserve some time together to just wander around and explore. __So a house outside the city for all of them. That would be pretty nice indeed. Though having to ask the royal council for it feels bad.

Thanks for the chapter! __I think Kaori made Ash and Keiko worry for a bit there, with the way she approached that conversation. Thankfully it's 'just' a new option to solve their problems. __Huh, that was not what I'd have guessed. And I guess the Higher Powers will force Niven to drop his control of the demons if they choose that option, since I don't really see how it would cause that without some action on their part. __Still it is a really good option, and it also ties up with what Ash was feeling earlier about Keiko's pregnancy and creating a family, which is nice. __It is pretty likely that they'll go through with this option, even if it is a big commitment. Though raising a baby with literal godlike powers is going to quite the undertaking...

Thanks for the chapter! __I wonder if Kaori will regain her memories of her time unconscious at some point. Though I guess it's not that pressing a problem. __And Yx leading off immediately with the hard questions, but Kaori's answer was pretty good I think, at least it certainly aligned with what the higher powers wanted to hear. __So the alternative seems pretty good according to Kaori, and it revolves mostly around Kaori and Ash (poor Keiko...). I'd guess them taking over the role of goddesses for Nova, though it would be strange that they asked only Kaori, and not Ash herself too. I guess we'll find out on next chapter.

Thanks for the chapter! __Ash is giving some uhh... convincing... arguments to Kaori on why she should choose that option. __I really hope that Ash and Keiko will succeed at getting her to accept that she really shouldn't sacrifice herself like that.

Thanks for the chapter! __Well that is certainly a plan I can see those two coming up with, and it may even work too! __Mestumi is (unsurprisingly) really not well, and there isn't that many people who can help there either. I guess Kasumi would be the one most likely to be able to help a bit. Though likely it'll 'just' take time. __And Ash is, as usual, brutally direct! It's super effective!

Thanks for the chapter! __That's a pretty good take on this from Kasumi. Kaori dying is the "best plan" for everyone... except all the people whom she cares about and all those that care about her. __Though once again, all the other plans are terrible too, so I'm really not sure how they'll choose one.

Thanks for the chapter! __Yay for relaxing... or at least trying to. It's kinda hard given what they still have to decide. __I don't think Ash is quite giving Kaori enough credit there, she did already think about it and chose not to back in Amber. Though I guess Ash wasn't there for it. __Though I guess giving her some uh... persuasive... argument can't hurt either. And maybe that will be a better way to relax than the festivities.

Thanks for the chapter! __None of the plans given seem good. Alkoth's because it would just make everything pointless and they'd just end up repeating it again down the line. Magia because no one would enjoy having her rule everything. And the others are obvious. __The problem is that they don't really have a way to come up with a different plan since they probably need one of the god's support (Though Lumina could likely be convinced) and the Higher Powers's agreement too. __I'm really looking forward to seeing how they'll manage that. But for now it seems that they've earned a bit of a celebration to go and relax, which they definitely deserve after all that happened.

Thanks for the chapter! __Poor Opah. And Metsumi is holding herself together, but it clearly hit her hard. __I think we all know who Luvine thought of when Ash explained that to her. __And we're getting quite close to the end, with only how to deal with the gods' plans left to choose. I'm looking forward to seeing how they'll decide, because with what the options presented are, I doubt they'll just simply go with any of those.

Thanks for the chapter! __They're back to Jade and Ash remembers to mention Satsuhiro dying to Kaori. __Talo and the royal council have burnt through any goodwill long ago, and I hope that the next time they even try to ask anything of Ash or anyone around her they get sent packing. And judging by how they acted until now, it's very likely that they'll try. __Well, time to see how Metsumi and Opah react to the news. At least they'll have the rest of the group with them to help them through that.
