No matter how many monsters I beat, I can't level up. I know this isn't The World, but since I'm in my body from there I should be able to level up, right?

It's not working and it's really annoying.

There aren't any quests or events to do either. It's annoying.

As the last of the Shadows disappears, Desco's purring slowly trails off into a drawn-out, satisfied sigh.

Right now she is one happy axe.

Welp. Tsukasa pats her on the... top of one of her mouths.

"Thanks, Desco."

This is actually kind of fun. He heads out to see what else they can find.

After about another block or so of walking, there's a strange clicking sound as three strange creatures scuttle out of the shadows. Are they scorpions or crabs or some kind of weird hybrid?

...well, it's not like Desco really cares either way, although hopefully these things will taste better than those Shadows did.

Ew. Scorpion... crab things. Tsukasa smashes one with the flat of one of Desco's mouths, and then slices through another with ease. The third tries to run, and Tsukasa brings Desco down right on its head, crushing it.

One drops a potion, and Tsukasa scoops it up.

"I needed one of these... unless you need it, Desco?"

Both of Desco's mouth-blades are busy chewing the remains of the scorpicrabs, so when she does reply, it's through the two smaller mouths set below the main ones.

"Uh-uh!"

...apparently she can still talk intelligibly when she's an axe.

[aurathread]

... Well, okay then. He sticks it into his inventory pocket inventory and pats her on the top of the head.

"Thanks."

[tyrantball]

Desco finishes her meal and swallows noisily. It might be your imagination, but...somehow, Desco's handle feels a bit heavier. One of her smaller mouths starts speaking.

"Desco doesn't have any use for healing items, because she has four million HP."

"I figured, but I thought I'd ask."

He heads off down the street, before pausing for a moment. Using an axe makes him think of Subaru, whom he hasn't thought of this clearly in a bit.

But she'd tell him to keep moving, and find something that makes him happy. He misses her, though. He takes a moment to breathe deeply, and then continues on.
