Safina is really getting to show off, and she's pretty impressive. Victorica agrees.

...It's never a good sign when the new antagonist is considered an idiot by the old (idiotic) antagonist...

You know what the sad thing about their plans is? The archbishop probably could become High Pontiff by currying favor with the next Imperial Couple. I guess winning via politics just doesn't involve kicking enough puppies for his liking, and that's why it needs to be a military conquest...

Edward: "It's all nonsense though."
Gilbert: "I don't know, I am quite the arsehole..."

Teo: "You'd have to be a real idiot to go to the obvious trap."
Carolina: "Ooh, that's my cue!"

Gilbert: "I cannot stand idly by as they slander my mistress's good name."
Teo: "Then maybe you should stop calling her your mistress?"
Gilbert: "Well, I wouldn't go that far..."

Jokes aside, this is another one of those not in the LN events! It's been a while since the last one. I wonder if this means they're replacing the entire Carolina/Monica confrontation from the books?

The discussion of immutable characters in the spells which look like they are written with an alphabetic type of representation makes me think that the writing should be more logographic like Chinese or Japanese Kanji.

Oh, boy. Now there's a rope barrier around the Evil Rock. Surely that will make the Evil King rethink things...

Uh, There sure are monsters here. What's the big deal?...

@kuali Woe is me. I think I'll set the manga aside for now and just concentrate(?) on the LN. At my age "confusion" is my middle name (lol).

@AliceCheshire
Also I'm curious if they'll introduce "him" earlier than in the Light Novel.

Awww… Manager manages well. Hopefully kouhai’s sister doesn’t fall for him. :p

It's been so long between volumes that I totally forgot who Andrew was. Luckily the writing brought context in smoothly. I also don't remember the mystery at the opera, at least at the moment, so reading the manga after the LN (with this spacing, not so much with the Fearsome Witch or Scooped Up) is not repetitive at all. The advantages of being old. 8-) 8-)

Noor has a totally reasonable fear of flying.
Which is, like, you know, the only reasonable thing about him.
