Nice to have Mia back and the king of Elesia getting his comeuppance. The story now uis more interesting compared to the initial volumes, let's see if the author will keep it this way.

Wow. Alus realized that Loki is a woman, and knows she's beautiful at that. Unfortunately, he's so broken that he's not going to be able to move down that path. Seems like Loki is going to chase him down though.

Now, is Jean or the guy from Lettie's squad going to find them first, or will it be that bastard from Kurima?

This was kind of a waste of a part no? The conflict was completely detached from any of the cast. And everyone important we met this part died in it too.

The world tree resolved its own issue too. Though it apparently took months to get on it. I guess just so Ryo and company would see it?

Not that ever single side plot needs to have some greater purpose, it's just odd that the story introduced then killed a few people just in time for the MC to gain nothing and then leave.

Nicole just lost many points in my eyes after her comment about how Nisshi dared move on from their breakup after just one year.

I wish Lettie can solve all the housing problems in my city too. Bullright apreading the truth as. Arunour is interesting. Looks like the show down will happen pretty soon then.

The Pups: "Wait, we have the same master as mama? KICK! ASS!"

And just like that... more dogs.

Six right? Or, maybe just two? (Heads vs. bodies ha, ha)

Now I'm confused just like Akira...Wait! Does that mean I have "gifts" too? Oh my gods I'm gonna go crazy! Think happy thoughts, think happy thoughts...)

Is it just me, or does it feel like they missed their chance to finish off Nosfy once and for all? - Like, the series could have ended around here if they had prioritised dealing with her over the reunion.

Welp...

I'm not sure if there's more of these or not; the epilogue and parts of the afterword made me feel like this could be the end, but also the afterword talked about the web novel continuing, so.....idk.

Either way, it's probably over for me. I don't think I can take another one. It can be funny when Lavi monologues about R18 stuff in the middle of a fight with a demon, like that's all she cares about, but the bit is getting kind of old (and clearly not all she cares about, after this volume). I was excited when it looked like we were getting into some real plot development this volume. (Oh look, Jabi and the concubine ended the king! Everyone knows Lavi is Bel! Her Japanese husband shows up! We're going to learn about the origins of demons and sacred beasts now, right?) And in spectacular fashion...the epilogue speedruns the retcon with the help of time magic and false memory charms. All the while the pope is reading one of Lavi's novels to the church book club. I can't even.

I mean, I get that this is supposed to be a romance novel (sorta), and not like an adventure isekai, but come on. At this point, I would have preferred the author trolled us by having Lavi not show up at all in the volume after the first part where she says she's going to hide so well that no one will find her during "the game of hide and seek" (which is what I actually thought was going to happen as time went on and she was absent from most scenes). Turns out the author's trolling game was much harder than I expected, or could handle.

"I'm going to see my murderous psychotic sister all alone!"
Rest in pepperoni. Bold choice to kill off the female protagonist halfway in the second book.

"Freesia! It's so good to see you! Would you like some tea?"
"...No thanks, I think I'm good."

Nice break point. Allen gets to meet another god, this time with a couple of warnings to not be his usual self. Picture is good too. Looking forward to seeing how the good of grand spirits reacts to Rohzen being there. My gut is saying it won't be the warmest welcome.

Let's see next week.

Still can't stand Kamil, the guy is insufferable. Also Keith needs to be taken out back for that last comment.

Score her and her life'll get better too.

Why is Kamil's close aid treating Deir like an object? Why is he just assuming her life sucks in Belisario? Why is Kamil casually okay with these assumptions? Deir just got done roasting Deryl for making those same exact assumptions, so why is it okay when Keith and Kamil do it?

I interpreted it differently, but that's just my reaction of course.

Score her = successfully court her = win out over the other potential suitors that she's completely oblivious about like Derryl and Douglas.

Her life'll get better too = having a home in not-Hawaii will add to her happiness, without any implication that she's unhappy now. Keith and Kamil know that she will not be cutting ties with her family, and their king gave her permission to teleport back and forth without going through customs.

...I was not expecting this, but I am not sorry it happened!

Man, the discoveries just keep piling up and now we got us a hype boss fight. The stoke is real rn. Dang.

Curses! Foiled again by Raiza...

Mweh-heh heh.
