Oooooooooh yes they do. to briefly summarize the res of this long ass arc has, in about this order:
- MC trusts Rona. big mistake.
- the MC Fucks up again and is basically going to lose his company and having to go through some self examination before shit goes down and puts the consequences of his fuckup on hold.
- pulls a fast one on the church.
- ends up meeting bigshots from every major country. they want to try taking advantage of him.
- when shit goes down, he, realizing he's not in danger and can resolve this whenever, sits down and actually weighs his options for his own benefits instead of just jumping to save everyone immediately. he still saves everyone.......after letting them go up shit creek for a bit so that the town basically worships him after he does act and let the monster problem take care of his prior issues in collateral damage.
- the bigshots start realizing they might be biting off more than they can chew
- Gets yoinked by the Goddess again to unfuck the other heros. this time he mans up and demands compensation out of her or he'll just leave the hero to die because fuck you. some unexpected intervention forces her to agree (her bosses are pissed).
- Riding on that moment, he calls Tomoe and Mio and basically says "that country my parents are from? The ones the demons have? Conquer it." a certain Dragon, Spider and horde of orcs are VERY eager to comply and a very unfortunate Demon general gets a really bad day.
- Saves Hibiki's ass, realizing she's here in the process.
- Kicks Io's ass while dressed as a power ranger. Rona and Sophia join in. At this point our MC realizes EXACTLY how overpowered he is, drops the Sentai suit, shows off his new power (basically creates a Stand). Io gets a fastball special'd over the Horizon (he lives), Rona Nopes right the fuck out and leaves Sophia to die. and gets some bad news regarding point 8 later and realizes she was basically fucking with a walking doomsday weapon. Sophai made the mistake of explaining that she plans to hunt down every superior dragon. including Tomoe. that put her right at the top of MCs kill list.
- meanwhile Shiki gets his Lich back on and kills Lancer (YOU BASTARD!). Tomoe and Mio are jealous AF
- MC Nukes the fortress everyone was fighting over and goes to bed.
next arc setup off points 1 and 4, he goes on tour and visits the other 3 major countries, and the Demon Kingdom. and pounds the everloving shit out of trashmoki while he's in the empire.
