Chapter Summaries

Broly and Aqua returned from a successful hunt, and Guild staff helped arrange the sale of their Running Lizard meat. At the Adventurer's Guild, Eris confronted Darkness about their earlier encounter, but Darkness’s question about whether Eris had any friends left the goddess brooding over her loneliness.

• Broly returned to Axel with a large haul of Running Lizards, and Guild staff arranged to process and sell the meat.
• Aqua called Darkness a masochist who could not use Swordsmanship, and Darkness went to claim a table for their feast.

• Eris explained that she had planned to return Darkness’s wallet if Darkness became her friend, but Darkness pointed out that she had caught her first.
• Darkness asked Eris whether she had any friends, prompting Eris to remember her lonely life in the Heavenly Realm and crouch in a gloomy corner.

Darkness tried to befriend Eris by giving her a chance to steal her wallet, but Aqua and Broly interrupted and misunderstood the situation. Broly then offered Eris his wallet and said he wanted to become her friend before inviting her to become his wife, leaving her alarmed at being targeted by a child.

• Darkness offered Eris her wallet and suggested they pretend the earlier theft had never happened so they could become friends.

Aqua confronted Wiz in Axel’s Cemetery, but Broly stopped her and claimed Wiz was the wife he had been looking for. Wiz explained how she became a Lich and why she cared for the cemetery, leaving Aqua to reconsider her suspicions.

• Aqua prepared to purify Wiz, but Broly intervened and said Wiz was his wife.

After Aqua asked Wiz to become Broly’s concubine, Broly pleaded with Darkness to accept his search for more wives, and she agreed. Wiz hesitated because she was a Lich without warmth, but Broly accepted her anyway, leaving Aqua and the others to misunderstand his remark about being kept warm and fed.

• Wiz warned that her body had no warmth, but Broly replied that he only needed to be kept warm and fed, making Wiz, Darkness, and Aqua misinterpret his meaning.

Wiz revealed that she was one of the Demon King Army's Eight Great Generals, but Aqua accepted her after learning that her role was limited to maintaining the Demon King's Castle's Magic Barrier under a pact protecting civilians. After Wiz purified the Cemetery's Ghosts, Broly visited her Magic Item Shop and found her unconscious and translucent.

• Broly found Wiz weak and offered her a breadstick, then learned that she needed Life Force rather than human food.
• Wiz used Life Drain on Broly, but his abundant Qi surged into her and restored her until she was full.
• Broly learned Wiz could dissipate without enough Life Force and offered to give her more Qi if she needed it.
• Broly copied Wiz's Life Drain skill onto his Adventurer Card and used it, prompting Wiz to beg him not to drain her again.

Broly struggled to master Wiz’s Life Drain skill, so Wiz began teaching him how to control Life Energy. Aqua and Darkness rushed to the Magic Item Shop after misinterpreting their conversation, then learned the two were only practicing the skill.

• Broly found that he could drain the Life Force he had absorbed from Wiz, but his attempt to pass Qi to her blocked the Life Drain channel.
• Wiz explained that Broly could cast the skill but lacked the magical theory to use it proficiently, and she agreed to teach him not to pass Life Force to her at random.
• Darkness warned Aqua that Wiz might seduce Broly, and Aqua hurried with her to the Magic Item Shop after they discussed Broly’s body and bathing together.
• Aqua and Darkness heard Broly and Wiz speaking suggestively outside the storage room, so Darkness broke in with her sword and Aqua followed with her staff.
• Broly greeted them and explained that Wiz was guiding him as he learned to master Life Drain, while Wiz confirmed that she was teaching him the skill.

Broly learned to use Life Drain with Qi, first experimenting on Aqua and Darkness and then developing a new technique. By evening, he had created Life Bullet, leaving the women refreshed and Darkness eager for another dose.

• Aqua compared Broly's ability to a gas station for men and a beauty salon for women, Broly wondered whether he had become an Oyster Spirit, and Darkness asked for another shot.

Darkness struggled with her addiction to the Life Energy Broly gave her after the excess vitality kept her awake and worried her family. Broly suggested she vent the extra energy through an activity she enjoyed, but the chapter ended before she responded.

• Darkness practiced swordsmanship through the night, and Ignis grew concerned when she kept doing so without sleeping.
• Ignis had a doctor examine Darkness, who was found healthy but unusually full of vitality; the doctor suspected she had taken tonics.

• Wiz worried Darkness might become dangerously dependent on Life Energy, while Aqua advised her to accept that she could not have everything she wanted.
• Broly suggested that Darkness vent her excess energy through an activity she enjoyed.

Wiz’s Vitality Potions became wildly popular after rumors spread that they could extend bedroom stamina, and Aqua, Broly, and the others learned that Adventurers had fueled the frenzy with scarcity claims. After Axel’s lord Aldarp nearly electrocuted himself with a mosquito repeller and blamed the shop for an assassination attempt, the Succubus Shop owner offered Wiz eighty million Eris for exclusive distribution rights.

• Aqua questioned Dust, who explained that Adventurers had spread exaggerated stories about Vitality Potions’ bedroom effects and falsely claimed they were scarce.

• The owner of Axel’s Succubus Shop offered Wiz eighty million Eris for exclusive distribution rights while promising to buy the potions at their usual selling price.

Darkness invoked her family’s authority to halt the guards, leaving the standoff awaiting someone with power to negotiate.

Wiz’s Shop faced a public accusation that its products had nearly killed Aldarp, but Darkness exposed how he had misused the electric mosquito repeller and forced him to withdraw the charge. The case sparked demand for Broly’s Vitality Potions, leaving Wiz’s Shop flush with money as Aqua took everyone to look for a house.

• Aldarp’s butler accused Wiz’s Shop owner of attempted murder, and Serena brought both sides to the Town Management Office to settle the dispute in court.
• Darkness defended Wiz at the public trial, while Serena’s Lie Detector confirmed that Darkness had warned Aldarp’s butler to use the repeller carefully.
• Darkness suggested Aldarp had inserted the electric repeller into his body, and the crowd’s calls for him to demonstrate made him withdraw his accusation.
• Serena helped recruit Adventurers to testify that the repeller was not life-threatening, while demand for Broly’s Vitality Potions surged after the trial.
• Aqua eagerly took Broly, Darkness, and Wiz to look for a big house with the shop’s new wealth.

The spirit accepted their offering, and Broly and Wiz went to the Succubus Shop to arrange for an agent to sell their Vitality Potions.

• Aqua investigated the villa and learned that its spirit was Anna Philanti Esterno, an abused girl who liked dolls, so the group offered her cloth dolls before moving in.
• At night, the spirit's dolls stared at the newcomers, but Aqua chased them around with Purification Spells, and the next morning she said Anna had accepted the offering.
• Broly left an extra breakfast serving by Anna's Grave Mound and reflected that the spirit's cold aura had made for a comfortable night's sleep.
