Chapter 11 - Chapter 11: "Motivations of a Demon"

Lady replies: "Yes, I'm going to end him." Then, Dante tells Lady: "Well, you'd better forget about it. Because you're no match for him." Lady responds: "Anyway, I have to go. I had the chance to stop him before, but I couldn't. I'm responsible for this mess." Dante looks at Lady and says: "Responsible? Does it bother you that much?" Lady turns around and looks at him: "He's my father. Besides, who else can undo what he's done?" Lady launches a hook with her rocket launcher and tells Dante: "A demon like you wouldn't understand." Then she leaves. Dante watches her walk away and says: "Father and family, huh? Well, I'm going too." Then Dante jokes: "But you'd better worry if you don't want me to take all the credit."

Dante walks to the side and picks up Beowulf, then continues on his way to the top of the Temen-ni-gru tower.

[Guitar Hero: "A lot of things happened."]

[Crimson-Haired Princess: "True, and it seems like it's the final part, right?"]

[Cat Guru: "It seems like family is the central theme of everything."]

[Butterfly That Blooms: "True, sacrificing your wife and then using your daughter to have the blood to start a ritual."]

[Caged Gold Lady in Ice: "And the brothers who can't stop fighting; it seems like none of them have a normal family."]

[Guitar Hero: "By the way, it seems like the objects in this world are magical or something, right?"]

[Crimson-Haired Princess: "True, being able to use a motorcycle to climb vertically is amazing."]

[Cat Guru: "I think it comes more from Dante; after all, he has some normal weapons that seem to contribute the most."]

[Butterfly That Blooms: "Maybe, passing on magic or something."]

[Caged Gold Lady in Ice: "He's a demon, so it must be something to do with demonic power, but it seems like normal objects don't hold up well; the motorcycle exploded shortly after using it."]

After climbing for a while, Dante arrives at a library and sees Lady catching her breath. Dante passes by her and says: "What's wrong? Are you tired? Then step aside." Then, jokingly, he says: "I'll take care of this."

Lady pulls out her gun and aims it at Dante, saying: "No, you stay back."

Dante turns around and grabs Lady's gun, causing her to shoot him in the abdomen. Dante looks at her and says: "I told you, you can't do this! Don't you understand? This isn't a job for humans."

Lady replies: "You're the one who doesn't understand. It's not something that can be reasoned with. It has nothing to do with me being human and you being a demon." Then she starts walking towards Dante while still holding her gun to his abdomen and says: "I'm motivated by the inability to forgive him! My soul screams at me to kill him."

Dante removes the gun from his abdomen. Lady turns around, grabs her rocket launcher, and walks away while saying: "That's enough motivation to keep going. Besides, this is a matter of my family. You should stay out of it."

Dante turns around and looks at Lady as she leaves, points at her, and says: "Alright, miss. Now I understand the situation, but I can't just sit back and watch. I'm pretty mad at him too, you know?" Then Dante pulls out his guns and aims them at Lady, saying: "Now get out of my way, or there will be consequences."

Lady takes the rocket launcher off her back and aims it at Dante, telling him: "Alright. Anyway, I wasn't planning on letting any demon live. Not even one."

Lady shoots a missile at Dante; he dodges by jumping over it, then turns back to aim at Lady and starts the fight.

After fighting for a while, Lady keeps shooting at Dante, leaning against a pillar, trying to take a shot as Dante keeps walking toward her. Finally, Lady runs out of bullets and Dante reaches her side. Dante, near her, says: "I'll take care of him."

Lady stops looking at Dante, causing him to step back, and asks: "Why do you care so much?"

Dante replies: "This whole thing started when my father sealed the entrance between the two worlds." Then he adds: "And now, my brother is trying to break that spell and turn everything into a demon town." He continues: "This is a matter of my family. Frankly, at first, I didn't care at all. But thanks to you, I now know what's important. I know what I have to do." Dante turns around and starts to leave until Lady calls out from behind: "Wait!"

Dante turns back and opens his hands to say to Lady: "Trust me! I'll make sure everything goes well for you. That's what my soul is telling me to do." Then, Lady removes the rocket launcher from her back and brings it closer to Dante, saying: "Use this."

Dante tries to grab it and, while joking, says: "How much is it going to cost me?"

Lady pulls the rocket launcher away from Dante and says: "You can give me your name."

Dante replies: "Dante."

Lady hands the rocket launcher to Dante. He turns around and places it on his shoulder, starting to walk until he hears Lady behind him say: "Dante, please, free my father."

Dante turns around, looks at Lady, and says: "I will, Lady."

[Guitar Hero: "It seems like they're getting along now."]

[Cat Guru: "At the cost of letting Dante kill her father."]

[Crimson-Haired Princess: "By the way, a new weapon has been added."]

[Butterfly That Blooms: "It's a weapon I don't know."]

[Caged Gold Lady in Ice: "It seems to be a rocket launcher, but apparently it's not a normal one. It has multiple functions to fire different missiles, and it also has a bayonet at the tip for melee attacks or as a hook."]

[Guitar Hero: "It's not that expensive, but using a rocket launcher with how heavy it is, I don't think I can handle it."]
