Maybe I can get Pochi to chew me out later.

...It's never clicked quite so clearly to me before, but Asley's clearly a masochist.

@groudonvert-own27br I was basing it on "So long..." then "such treaties get signed every day" He either read little of it or read it in full and didn't catch what was in it.

Yeah... it's actually hard to tell.
Either Ellie planned something with Lucas to make the trap work even if Friede read the contract or she counted on Friede's greed and conviction nobody was aware of what he was doing to make him sign the contract she wanted.
Technically speaking, Friede is right to think nobody would find out so fast who was behind the counterfeit money. It was a lucky circumstances that Ellie found out so fast.
As a reminder, Friede replaced all Elizabeth's people in Funnel before her escape, so him using Funnel was not a mistake on his side.

Friede is not completely stupid, his education was enough to make him a capable man (I mean, you don't start an operation like this if you don't know how to handle all the logistics and problems), such a shame he used his education for the wrong reasons.

"The packaging helps sell the product" one thinks, seeing the cosplay and the end of the chapter

Too much cosplay, and she might become the packaging for a baby. ;)

The big FAFO double spread causes me to wonder what image files the JNC translators have to work with.

Scenario A:
1 Manga-ka creates background illustration, specifies what to write on it. (Whatever our esteemed translator translated to FAFO)
2 Japanese letterist applies this to the image
3 Image with Japanese text gets sent to JNC
4 JNC artist erases Japanese text, fills in the resulting blank spaces to match the background art.
5 JNC letterist superimposes FAFO on the image.

Scenario B:

1 Manga-ka creates background illustration, specifies what to write on it. (Whatever our esteemed translator translated to FAFO)
2 Japanese letterist creates a the text as an extra layer (in a computer file)
3 These layers get combined to print the Japanese volume
4 The computer files, with letters and image as separate layers are sent to JNC
5 JNC throws away the Japanese letter layer, and creates their own FAFO layer in its place

Clearly scenario B is much less work for JNC. Is this how it works?

"Give me the dagger."
"Nope."
"Wait, what?"

Ah, yes. Time to make a deal with Mithra.

That “fight” definitely felt like a volume-ender. ^^;

@Ingraman I'll admit, I probably should have gone ahead and made the obvious joke about the quality of Ai's vibe coding...

I completely forgot that Emily was a reincarnator from Earth. Boy did she show it off in spades in this chapter.

I dunno, it seems like she's forgotten she could use magic to break free and restrain him so I think Amelia's still got a hand on the idiot ball ^^;

She’s politely waiting for the end of the expository monologue. Maybe it continues in the next part? I’m not recalling (fortunately) the LN that well.

Abel who totally doesn't resemble someone the heirs to nations would recognize.

This liquid attacked me?!
Ha, ha...Al Fa is so funny (holding up a large cloth to shield herself from further "attacks" thus inspiring Asuta to provide "aprons" for future use.

too much boob focus

This thing is so stupidly cute...I love it!
