I think Arai just accidentally turned the new girl gay. That was quite the rizz she demonstrated. On the other hand, maybe she already was... she is cosplaying as a magical girl after all.
@arghc yeah, the anime never told us how they got the princess out, only that they did. It was never mentioned that Grist had infiltrated the royal guard.
Note for all: The streaming dates were incorrect due to an internal mix-up and ended up running later than the ebook release date. To resolve this, the last two chapters have been made available now.
I like the one on one here. It dives deeper into Inori's mentality and helps explain the why of alot of what he's done in the series up until this point. It also circles back to the point of Inori feeling like Ariya was the same as he was.
I did like that it turned out his father took one look at Dias and said, "I'm out of here!".
Because that proves that this pose thing isn't complete BS. NOT.
I commented as much on the Discord, but the manga for Imperial Reincarnation really does make the story seem much more fluffy/easygoing than the Deep Dark Deadly Politics of the light novel.
