A fantastic chapter that answered a lot of questions! I've been viewing the manga from a 'Christian' perspective of demons this whole time, thinking the manga implied there was no heaven but only a dark ruler and underworld that awaited in death. It's a lot more like Buddhism, sort of, with different worlds and planes.
That witch lady is great, and her house is so peaceful. I wouldn't mind a dozen more chapters of Guts and the gang just staying at her house and listening to her wonderful knowledge and planning things out.
