@George-Wang-a98vag7 Yep. It just remains to be seen if Bulat is sold on the idea of replacing Friede as heir with the more functional spare, or (perhaps more likely) he is going to double down with using the spare as the de facto ruler for the Friede figurehead. It might well be the latter, at least this time and until the idiot prince screws up again. Ofc, this strategy would have the obvious downside that the spare can claim the throne with a palace coup or succession war even if Daddy disagrees...

Yeah, I know innocent people might get caught in cross fire through no fault of their own but that’s realistic if you look at wars in history. It’s like firebombing or using nukes to try to end a war faster

Yep, and as a rule, this kind of collateral damage gets worse as military technology progresses. Magic often works in fantasy stories as an effective replacement of technology, so...

To be fair, in premodern societies civilians got much less lethal collateral damage of the 'getting bombed' kind in wartime. However, they got much more of it in the 'rape, pillage, and burn' kind. This was the expected norm back when armies robbing and raping civilians (and torturing or killing them if they resisted) was a cheap substitute for regular pay and having an effective logistic train.

I find it ironic and sad at yhe same time that Yuri's actions blindsghted the queen and made her lose focus on the real da German.

Everything is back to normal between Yoshin and Nanami so we'll keep getting our weekly sugar overdose.
Curious to see what is going to be the truth behind the rumors about senpai.

I think the question is whom Chue's reporting to right now. The Emperor isn't here, after all. So... Taomei?

Sad we didn't get our Wolf Princess interacting with the capitol wolves while she was there, but we did get that cute illustration.

@kuali kinda wanna see Granny Chise for thr giggles

This was my thought as well. I'm looking forward to Ekaterina being caught between her affection for her brother, and Flora getting romantically entangled with him.
"Ugh, I HATE that my brother marrying the heroine is probably the most surefire way to save his life."

I was actually thinking it might turn out more like this:

Ekaterina: My two favorite people are marrying each other, so I'm happy about that. I'll get to have Flora as my sister! But... if Flora is marrying my brother, who is going to marry the Prince?
Ekaterina: <Turns head and sees the Prince staring at her in longing.>
Ekaterina: No. No! NOOOOO!

The prince doesn’t seem too bad. Ekatrina in game seems like a real shallow girl due in part to abuse and such so Flora was his choice. But the new Ekatrina would probably be a better wife for the kingdom due to social status, dowry, etc. this series makes it pretty clear that Ekatrina and Alexei are biological brother and sister so the series shouldn’t go too far.

eat, drink, throw up

lols..

Poor, poor, misunderstood Liz, getting the blame for so many things that she didn’t do.

<pffft> ^o^

Run Lily, run! As fast as your little elf feet will carry you.

Clearly he's already got the support base.
He just needs to see if they offer the tests on weekends or during Golden Week or some such.

All of them whipping out pens when he mentioned writing on the face was a nice touch.

Three faced?
Two faced has leveled up!

The best thing you could do is read EVERYTHING ELSE on the site just to make this one look worse in comparison.

Sorry, while there are some really good things on the site and I've spent quite the amount of ducats and/or points on epubs, there's also stuff that's just a big fat NOPE from me, such as this one. I'll happily enjoy the ones I support, though.

Gonna bow out here, but good on anyone else who gets enjoyment out of this bucket of cringe, however alien it may seem to me.

Damn, poor Violet.

I guess this is Airena’s real reward after over a century of slaving away for Acer’s whims. At least now she’ll be by his side while cleaning up his messes.

@Phabiohost I doubt it's ex-heroes, though I can't recall anything in text that'd contradict that. It sounds like a secret of that sort would have gotten out given how large the expeditions are. Hero being an earned title and not an inherent power also makes that link a bit rough.

It could totally be "demon lords are intelligent monsters who remember their past lives in other worlds" or "demon lords sometimes appear from among creatures (including humans) with Goddess Zoya's silver hair color" though. It sure feels like the author is setting us up for "Asura is a demon lord".

Thrown away, eh?
...such a treasure trove of unique items brought into existence by Yuki would seem likely to find space in a research facility...
Leila would never do such as that.
Right?
Right?!

@Geezer-Weasalopes What's interesting is they did briefly get a reading from the 40th floor before they lost it again. Presumably everyone didn't die because Abel dying would be kind of a downer at this point in the story. The only current explanations on why it disappeared again would be the operators are dead, the device only works to 40 floors for some strange reason, or they're no longer in this particular dungeon.

Does make you wonder how long this phenomena lasts after the eclipse clears out.

Yeah, they can't be dead with how the story has been written, but then again the story changed a lot from book 1 to book 2, so who knows what is planned.
