So, first off, got confirmation that the Thunder Hero survived. She was apparently saved by the Cloud Hero.

Rou distributed a few of the Sacred Treasures he gained. He thought it would be a waste to just have them collecting dust in his item box or to immediately eat them when they could be used by others. He also explains that, although some of the Sacred Treasures' abilities are sealed when it's not the original owner using them, it's not impossible for a new owner to unseal their strength if they fulfill the right conditions.

All the 8 Generals get a Sacred Treasure for sure, except Aifu since she didn't really do anything.

Avenger doesn't want the Insect Champion's weapon because it belongs to the guy who destroyed his village and killed his lover.

Netsuki gets the Wolf Champion's sword Sacred Treasure as a trophy from the one who made him into a slave before.

Redhead was the one who killed the Loop Hero, so she gets his Sacred Treasure.

Akitainu managed to almost single-handedly defeat the Mask Hero, so he gets his mask Sacred Treasure. He lost his hand in the process of cutting off the guy's head, but Seiji could easily heal it (he did it before, after all).

Or took down the Bird Champion while firing her magic gun everywhere, so she gets the flute Sacred Treasure that lets her control birds and see through them temporarily. Rou surmises that it'll let her observe her targets from a distance and snipe them.

Lastly, Trojuu (the Troll from the hell weak training on Kichi's day) managed to take down the Bull Champion too (just like Or, he managed to kill him at random). So he gets the axe Sacred Treasure. As for other minor characters that were mentioned, Ramura (the Dragonewt beauty) was also name dropped as being one of the heavier drinkers in the celebration due to her race.

The Ground Tiger General and the White General from the Beast Kingdom and Devil Empire both ranked up into Sovereign class. Apparently, it's the ability of the Sovereign Psalm called Sovereign Succession. Kichi and Mi apparently made a promise to their respective opponents from the Crusade to make a visit to their successors. That seems to be the focus of the next update?

Rock Hero went gambling crazy and lost all his equipment except his weapon and a new mask he's wearing (that's all he lost, though, since he didn't bet any abilities). His party, on the other hand, is freaking rich.

Rou made the Meal Hero cook all the heroes he killed, including the clones. Rou expected him to be bothered by this, but apparently he's okay with it since he doesn't recognize them to be the same both on account of them being dead (and thus, not the same 'person') and because the clones are soooooo clean (their innards, especially) that he can't think of them as being the same people. He was a bit bothered when he got around to actually preparing the original bodies, but that's about it.

Rou tested out the two black spears in a training match against the Dragon Empress. They're NOT Sacred Treasures, but they're quite close. Rou describes them as magic items which, when the conditions are fulfilled, will completely turn into Sacred Treasures. This might explain why the Hunting and Meal Hero's Sacred Treasures don't have "Soul" in their names. I wonder if it's possible for the halberd to become a Sacred Treasure too one day?

Anyway, the passive abilities of the End Spear and Origin Spear are, respectively, to turn into black sand and blood the things they cut. The Dragon Empress' body turned into a goopy mess from the sand and blood mixing with each other. It apparently tastes even better than what he had eaten before, so he tries it out on himself and slices off his legs and tests it out. He said he tastes even better than the Sacred Treasures he's eaten. He decides to cut off a few more sets of legs and give some to Redhead to eat some time.

The black spears also have other abilities yet unrevealed.

Nicola is growing up now. Still can't walk by herself, but she's already shown that she's capable of understanding simple words. Rou was a bit worried that Nicola would be a bit distant to him since they haven't spent much time together personally, but she was actually pretty touchy with him, especially in his tattoos (which Rou relates to her Crest Maker job). He later goes out hunting with his kids (including Nicola, who he has piggybacking on his body with his string). Since no monster in the forest is a threat to them now, he mainly teaches them survival techniques like making traps and such. They hunt upgraded versions of the monsters Rou hunted during his goblin days. The horned rabbit? It has 2 horns now.

Oh, also, Rou learned the Book Champion's ability to create copies of heroes from his books. It's called 英勇の複製品. We currently have 英勇 translated as Legendary Hero on this site, but the kana gives the name for this ability as ブレイブヒーロー・レプリカ (Brave Hero Replica), so maybe we should switch to translating it as Brave Hero?

Rou also learned abilities from the other heroes (I assume; Existence Deterioration definitely comes from the Number Hero, so Fragment of Wisdom and Brave Hero's Lineage probably come from the Star Champion and Hunting Hero respectively).

That's it for the more salient topics. There's some issues going on in the Holy Kingdom (the dark side of the kingdom is making a move while the smaller countries are angry that the Savior and Saints lost, making the sacrifices of their heroes meaningless), Beast Kingdom, and the Devil Empire (not everyone is going to accept the previous Sovereigns' children as the new leaders), and Rou expects things to get a bit hectic in the future (since he actually helped to make it that way). Seems like Parabellum might get a lot more work.
