@awwkaw said in Bookworm Part 4 Vol. 3 Discussion!:

noticed one thing in particular. in the afterword, a book called "the royal academy stories: year 1", is that licensed by j-novel club, and when can I buy it in english?

If you want to add your voice to the beggers for this to be licensed here is the link to the forum "Gaiden" side story book

I will ;-)

I also think that we will not see a change of aub in Ehrenfest.

The story is around the "child" Rozemyne, I doubt we will see her as a full adult. She may reach her coming of age cerimony (so maybe age 15-16), but I doubt Sylvester will abdicate to her at that age, and I doubt he will die.

@grobinson2k1 said in The Tree:

@angelus

Or even, "we chop up trees to make books", which is probably what Rozemyne would think.

I wonder what type of pages that tree would provide us

Pages soaked in the tears and blood of whatever foal dares attack Treesus

In this volume, there are a couple of "knight barracks" for the translation of 騎士寮.
Except for P2V3 and this volume, it is translated as "knight dorm" in all other volumes.

Thanks to Pikamaru @ discord.

Considering that BOTH Effa and Gunther have dead parents... not that long for the lower city. Just about the oldest lower city resident introduced was the Guildmaster at 50. We see from the fanbook that Bonifatus was introduced at 61 and his main wife would be the daughter of the old giebe Leisegang. Same source gives us Karstadt at 37 and Eckhart at 18. Yeah, nobles do tend to live longer, so long as they don't die young (I suspect that Veronica is the source of much of this death, as she is a plague upon Ehrenfest).

We know for sure that Grey priest can't marry, but we do not know for sure for Blue priests.

That said, being able to marry and being able to have sexual relationships are different things.

We know for sure that sex is not forbidden in any way for priests, since Flower Offering is a thing.

.

My opinion is that Priests can't marry while they stay in the temple, for the simple reason that officially marrying would mean starting an household and recognizing the eventual child as heirs.

A priest, not being indipendent but being supported financially by the temple and its parent family donations, probably can't support a family. It doesn't make much sense for the temple to provide for his childs and wife, and even less the future generations after that.

It would also create the problem of how to classify his wife and childs. Would they be considered nobles or parts of the temple?

I think that in general Priests and Shrine maiden can't officially marry while in the temple, and every potential childs made would be sent to the orphanage as an orphan.
.

That said, I think that there is nothing stopping one priest to marry if he is able to return to the noble society. I doubt that there is any sort of oath of celibacy or anything similar.
As an example, if Ferdinand (who is able to return to the noble society) decides to marry, he would simply stop being a priest and start a family as a noble. Same would happen to all the ex-priests returned to noble society like Shikza or Christine.

Also, nothing stops priests from having love affairs. They just aren't able to marry and make things officially recognized.

That is also confirmed by we knowing that the former High Bishop had a mistress, and Delia wish to be able to become one since they get blue-priest like treatment (with their own attendants).

@kurosov said in Solutions to mana buildup in excess noble and devouring children:

It's possible the small chalices are partially filled locally before winter. It's unlikely though because it seems like they're handed out randomly from a sack rather than each lord getting the same one back

I can't remember where it is said exactly but don't giebes pour they're own mama into the land as well? If so, they probably use the chalices because there is no sense making their own magic tool for that purpose when they already have one from the temple and if the chalice was unnecessary the dedication ritual wouldn't be necessary because the blue priests could just do it that way (at least in the case of priests with sufficient mana to do it all at once without having to save up like Rozemyne or Ferdinand)

It was mentioned they do so when they're returned during spring prayer. The Giebe also performs the ceremony instead of a priest, who only do so for the central regions controlled by the Aub.

We don't know if they do so throughout the year. I say it's unlikely because when they're handed back to them it seems as if a random one is removed from a sack, though this may not be the case in reality.

It makes perfect sense for them to have/use their own tools. Their mana has uses other than filling the land.

@poisonedbite Umm, not as such. It has to be an archducal candidate since they're the only ones taught how to use the creation magic, but requiring "access" to the foundation is a bit more of a stretch. Technically the only one with direct access to the foundation is Sylvester. What Ferdinand and the others have access to is the terminal in the castle, but whether that constitutes "access" to the foundation is more open to interpretation.

@ufhd said in Thoughts About Myne's Reincarnation:

@alfonso_rd_36 Good points. We'll probably know for sure when Rozemyne meets the guy.

Hopefully

@mystyk said in The true secret behind Bookworm's release schedule:

@legitpancake That may have kicked off a quantum dimensional crossover event. The multi-quofs are from different realities, connected by that common electricity-surge incident, and quof dutifully ensures that each version gets independent credit for work completed.

@xdrfiredogx Risky upvote if I ever saw one...

I'd say that it's more that parallel Quofs translate their version of Bookworm, then our @Quof converts it to our Bookworm (like, for example, the Quof that happens to translate about the boy who was born to a female soldier and a male dyer)

@weasalopes Sometimes a marriage is just two aces looking to get their families off their backs?

Hello,

So after sleeping on it (literally) and reading the feedback in this topic, we will proceed with the suggested spoiler policy.

If someone makes a new topic and does not specify in the title it involves future content, or in the opening post that future content is present, I will treat them as volume discussion topics and remove future spoiler content.

Now that being said, unless someone specifically says the topic is a no spoiler zone, if someone wants to drop some ambiguity in a spoiler tag, I will leave that be, if they are direct about it I will do what I usually do, delete, and send a DM.

Please see the previously mentioned thread for an example, as I have edited some posts.

@hiroto
How about "forbidden archive" then? Sounds a bit more grand and mysterious than "forbidden book storage room."

Just wanted you to know that I made sure that this is used in this latest part.

F: Well it mostly just takes care of itself.
M: ...What?
F: After investing enough mana over sufficient period of time the baby appears before the mother as a complete being.
M: ...Excuse me?
F: Well obviously it's a little more involved. I presume the mother uses a magic circle of some sort to teleport the infant out of the belly. How else would you extract it from their person?
M: Oh Ferdinand. Oh no...

So does Ferdinand think that dying during childbirth is due to a teleportation error, or... X3

Nobles probably don't die during childbirth very often considering all the magic tools they have and considering that Ferdinand didn't seem to think it carried much risk when the grey priests asked him about it, and it is pretty clear that even Ferdinand doesn't know that much about commoners. We have heard a lot about nobles dying of illness, but the only instance I can think of where we have been told a noble died in the proximity of giving birth was Bezewanst and Veronica's mother, who was ill throughout the pregnancy with Bezewanst and may or may not have actually died during childbirth, I can't remember if that was ever specified.

Your insightful and I believe accurate comment killed @ShibariUsagi's joke more thoroughly than a childbirth-telefrag could a noble mother. XD

@the22dragons said in Speculating about Grun:

In the last chapter Cornelius said that the Grun smells awfully. That's indeed not something an archnoble daughter should use as reference for her highbeast.

Honestly, I would have preferred if she had made a Shumil highbeast, since she is so often compared to one and since that would be a lot more acceptable by nobles standards.

Seriously, Ferdinand could have just shown her what a shumil looks like.

Yep. And Rozrmyne could even adapt the ears to act as windshield wipers. A highbeast even more cute and useful than lessy.

@biehl Attendant do need to know how to clean.
