Part 17
Update 16: GRINDGRINDGRIND and NO DANTE FOR YOU.
First things first: In this particular area there are new demons, and because it is a SMT game, the random encounter rate is kind of insane. Let's see what's here.
They can change into Avatar Makamis when leveled up. Not something I am planning to do just yet. Or at all. Not when I CAN JUST GRIND FOR MONEY AND SUMMON one if needed. Would take less time.
I posted what a Chichevache is on the SMT2 thread. I don't remember.
Wikipedia posted:
Chichevache is a mythological European monster fabled to feed on "good women".
In Chaucer's Canterbury Tales, this human-faced cow is perpetually starved to skin and bone due to the scarcity of obedient and faithful wives. The Bicorne or Bycorne, a counterpart to the Chichevache that fed on obedient and kind husbands, was reputedly fat and plump because of the plentiful supply of such men.
Chaucer may have borrowed the French word chichifache (thin face) to coin chichevache (thin or meagre cow).[1] D. Laing Purves notes that "The origin of the fable was French; but Lydgate has a ballad on the subject. 'Chichevache' literally means 'niggardly' or 'greedy cow.'"[2]
Here is the paragraph where the word appears in The Canterbury Tales:
"O noble wives, full of high prudence,
Let no humility your tongues nail:
Nor let no clerk have cause or diligence
To write of you a story of such marvail,
As of Griselda patient and kind,
Lest Chichevache you swallow in her entrail.
Next: Asshat conversation.
Aww
Yes.
This demon does not know what he is getting into.
They are asshats.
If you say so... They are ACTUALLY easier than the Nihilo. And both organizations are made of asshats
Next: Early Reason changing decision.
No change.
Agreeing with him obviously gives you more MIGHT MAKES RIGHT points.
I don't know if this choice adds to any of the choices. It makes the Oni angry. BUt no attack
HE IS SCARED, THAT IS ALL.
Ah hah.
FUSION TIME!
Then:
WINE PARTY TIME!
ORGIES!
That's... Bad.
STOP. SHAKING.
uuuh, no, it does not.
Well, so far in this world it does not. WHO KNOWS WHAT MIGHT HAPPEN? they are asshats and the Strenght reason sucks. No.
Recruited one of these:
Why? Because it has some good things. Especially the thing that happens when you level one up enough.
It changes into an Arahabaki. Those are IMMUNE to physical attacks. They are useful.
Boohoo. STOP SHAKING DAMNIT, OR I WILL END YOU.
Fog Breath replacing Sukunda. Why? It is more effective and awesome.
MUCH MORE. And it is kind of a vital skill. Yes.
After one and a half hours of money grind...
ALL IN ORDER TO GET THIS
Hell yes.
And since a FUCKING MANIKIN said it, it is exactly what one should do.
Hahah!
Just look who is there!
Don't worry, Heeho! One day you'll be big and impervous to fire! No, I am not kidding. And it is totally awesome
... No, I don't. And I don't want to know. Shut up now. I am going away.
Oh no! Someone wants to steeeeeeeeal my personal effects!
And since they were two lowly Onis, they lost in less than 3 turns.
Blargharghargh.
RANDOM ENCOUNTER.
Furry minion acquired!
PERMANENT STAT INCREASE GET.
No. You don't.
Sure dude. Whatever. You are creepy.
Buuut you need to actually fight for that skill to work. It IS useful, but does not alllow you to not fight to level up.
You will have to wait more.
Serves you right for SHAKING.
No. But I suppose that in the future one will meet them.
HAHAH!
HAHAH!
Full MP heals for all the party, I believe. Could be useful in the future.
ENOUGH.
Next time: THE BUILDING, and asshattery.
