If I haven't misunderstood, seems like the plan is to stall the UBM while he's calling for heavyweight reinforcement of Caldina's superiors, much like the fight against Greatest One back then.

Volume 9 - Chapter 3:

Page 2 ► Right Box ► MY STORY IS QUOTE SIMPLE. ► It should be QUITE.

@terabyte I know, right? I was planning on reading the LN last month during catch-up, but I just couldn't find the time
sigh I'll get around to it eventually...probably

well I shall cross my fingers and hope for another season of the anime

@amit34521 Steiner posted on Twitter that he finished part 1 yesterday, so it should come up on the schedule soonish. (Also apparently the next volume is pretty chonky.)

Oh no not a popcorn shortage!

c32p7: The announcer interprets Juliet's chuuni as "She's going to treat Juliet to a drink, folks!" but I think it's supposed to be Chelsea being treated.

Also the v7 chapters are not being linked properly in the manga viewer. If you try to change chapters while reading a chapter, the list stops at v6.

@saffire But it's just because that combo of items works best for him, that's all! Promise!

Chapter 2 page 23, 4th narration bubble: "Entering it with a large group of soldiers could been seen as an act of war.
Chapter 3 page 25: Having "Oh right" starting the sentence for two bubbles in a row is a bit awkward.

Will the ebook copy on the kindle automatically update with the Afterword? I got it on my kindle app, so will it auto update or will i have to download it again? And how?

EDIT: Never mind it update.

Something from the volume 2 epub that I wanted to check:

"The countries close to Gideon are Caldina and Legendaria. The latter signed a treaty of commerce with Altar, while the former is a full ally

For some reason, I had the impression that Legendaria was Altar's ally; and Caldina having a treaty of commerce seems more like a match. Is my impression wrong, or did that get mistakenly flipped in the text?

Also, more generally, I remember Steiner commenting that Gardranda's title was being changed from "Demon" to "Hobgoblin." It was Demon in the (recently downloaded) volume 1 premium epub, but is that just a matter of the epubs not being updated, or did it switch back to Demon?

Apparently the theme of the side stories this time is "people dying of overwork".

Well... that was bad :(

A nice set of stories. Nothing earthshattering but I enjoyed them.

Wow, I didn't expect the story to go back and see the start from Shu's side this late in volume 3...

In the Premium EPUB the first part of the volume Gardranda is referred to as demon -- then later in the volume referred to as hobgoblin.

@legitpancake Thank you for the link!!!!!
