Reading the new chapters and I feel like the boringness that's been there since the deviculum arc is slowly going away,, actually really excited for the new battler party arc!!!! I hope Kiriwo gets a mention at least once
Also very very in love with Beem and Marnie they are such fun characters already. Osamu Nishi never misses with designs it's crazy
With the backstories we're getting for the cast in irumafia I'm reaallly curious about what's gonna happen with Kiriwo. I'm wondering if he's going to join Babel at some point...? Or be someone on the outside? I'd be shocked if he didn't make an appearance at all but also I wouldn't be shocked if his role was smaller
Anyway. Au where, instead of finding Baal, Kirio bumps into Balam, whose immediate reaction is "how in Satan's name did this toddler return to origins this is BAD". So by the time Kirio manages to enroll in Babyls, Balam reaches out to him. Kirio eventually admits that he wanted to find demons that were "messed up" like him, and Balam responds with "oh, people used to think I was weird and messed up too but I eventually found demons that genuinely loved me as I was and that helped a lot" or something like that. And yeah basically Balam looks after Kirio and actually helps him deal with his trauma instead of saying "you're fine, become a terrorist"
Kirio is still very fucked up and a weirdo but he's happier and healthier and makes weird art instead of bombs
