Rozemyne: It is nice to see you again. I heard from Roderick that you wished to speak with me before your graduation.
Judithe: Indeed, Lady Rozemyne. I have a favour to ask which is rather selfish, but I don't see any other option.
Rozemyne: Please. You've protected me for many years, if you are in need of something I will of course help.
Judithe: It is about who'll be escorting me during my graduation ceremony.
Rozemyne: Have you found someone you like?
Judithe: My parents have decided on someone.
Rozemyne: And I take it you are not pleased with their choice?
Judithe: They want me to be the second wife for an older Leisegang archnoble, but he is one who does not appreciate your changes and intends to make one of Brunhilde's children the next aub.
Rozemyne: And you have informed your parents why such a choice would greatly displease you, me and Ehrenfest's whole archducal family, including Brunhilde?
Judithe: They never listen. They just assume that the Leisegang family is dominant now so they want a connection with them by any means necessary.
Rozemyne: That is quite troublesome. But I am not sure what I could do to help without causing even more problems for you in Ehrenfest. The Leisegangs who have feared interference from arrogant Ahrensbach for so long would not take it well if I act too forcefully against their interests.
Judithe: In that case, please just take this. I asked Roderick how to brew it.

Ortwin Aub Drewanchel: You never learn, do you?
Lestilaut: It is a Dunkelfelger tradition to never give up! By the way, how is your sister?
Ortwin: You really never learn, do you!?

@Quof i found a mistake in this older volume when rereading. In Corinna's side storr Frenbeltag is misspelled as Frobetag.

@Awwkaw There are no actual Sovereignty residential settlements on the royal academy grounds. There's no farmland being worked. There's no commoner population base from which to draw taxes or tithes from. The Sovereign temple will in the future no longer be doing things like spring prayer or fall harvest, or even really baptisms. There are no noble families aside from that of the zent's own that reside there, just working adults or underage students.

About the only similarity is that it has a foundation and a magical border, but that similarly holds as much for a province, even a city, or even a giebe's estate, as it does for a duchy. In pretty much every other way, the shrunken Sovereignty doesn't serve as a duchy from an administrative and logistical perspective.

@Awwkaw said in Bookworm Part 5 Vol. 10 Discussion!:

Yes, but he was not confident to let Gervasio die, should he make it back to the Royal academy, before his medal had been destroyed. He rushes through the destruction to avoid that scenario, indicating that he expects to be punished, should Gervasio make it in time.

He rushed because waiting's for suckers. Ever heard of the hare and the tortoise? If he'd waited until Gervasio had dyed the foundation, Anastasius would have lost the ability to destroy his medal. Just like when Alstede lost the ability to teleport back to Ahrensbach.

I was legit just about to post about this lol.

I used to be seriously into musicals back at the height of SeraMyu. Hoping they'll have DVDs of the shows available at the end of the year 🙏

Rozemyne is now Aub Alexandria, but she's still registered with Ehrenfest's foundation

This unusual circumstance may allow for Remote Toad Execution

Added version 0.22.11 to the OP.

This version adds a notification of which books you are missing from the full omnibus during omnibus creation.

It also adds mappings for P5V11 and Fanbook 4.

@kuali said in Alternate Reading Order:

(mostly) Liz's Liz's Apprentice Selection. This involves at least two characters that are dead by the start of the series (Liz and Benno's Father), meaning it should go before Urano awakens in the first chapter. The only real question is, whether it goes before or after Urano's P1V1 Prologue. Thoughts, anyone?

Hmm, its pretty awkward at the start. There's an as yet untranslated chapter between P1V2 "The Guildmaster and the Hair Ornament" and "The Guildmaster's Granddaughter" that would be pretty good. Unless there's another Liz SS that I'm forgetting about?

Shuu: [Err, what am I doing here?]
Myne: [Shuu, is that you!?]

@JonaStubbe Fair enough, it's

わたしは急いでメスティオノーラの書を閉じる

So it's really just "quickly closed"

...well, literally really "I quickly close..." because in Japanese Bookworm actually uses non-past in narration as well as the past...

Hello,

The color illustrations are available in the versions purchased directly from J-Novel Club.

Just to make sure you are downloading the ebook and not trying to look at them through the pre-pub parts?

The pre-pub parts do not have those illustrations they are only available in the final ebook.
