@AliceCheshire while you're not wrong, that sounds like exactly the kind of thing a 3 year old would understand.

Something like messy would still be simple while not running into the same issue.

When you fast-forward through the sex and through the fights, the book really zips along. It’s not one of the better titles here, but it goes quickly.

I'm surprised that the narrative didn't state that the girls passed on the piece of cloth with the frayed embroidery of a crest on it when they told the story of their attack to Marius. Like Helen had said, I would consider it an important lead. Or were we as readers supposed to assume that they did?

It passed it to Eizo so the rest of the group could have Lucy track the attackers by scent

@George-Wang-a98vag7 His standards are a lot lower for people where it's just a one night stand compared to wife material.

Not sure what their potato alcohol is, but was surprised it wasn't vodka

Probably Shochu. They are japanese, it uses koji mold and some brands use white potatoes though it's traditionally sweet potatoes.

Real test of courage: Facing their families.

There hasn't been any new chapters posted to the WN since Nov 2024.

There's just enough material remaining to publish a volume 7, which will finish the current school arc. So even if the series doesn't continue, at least it won't end on a cliffhanger.

It's interesting that the anima is your "true self" but Sora's anima is a being with history. Does that mean the original soul eater died and reincarnated as Sora In a kind of Hindu system?

Or did it override his original Anima as an opportunist attempting to revive itself?

I kind of get the vibes that his knowledge of Anima is more propaganda than fact. It just seems like anima users are people with corrupted/mutated souls of monsters inside themselves.

Woooo, time to see how their relationship advances.

A painting of homesickness.

Guessing the lord had a bargain with the mermaid for her tears and it broke down when the entry fees went up. She's probably much older than thirty eight.

This was a nice stroll down memory lane including the banter between Sol and the girls. I was also surprised by Sol's blaming himself for what happened to Mark and Alan and wondering if things would have been different if he had been more forthcoming with them. I never expected him to feel that way this far along in the story, especially since they had attacked him.

The previous book came out a year ago, and my notes say that I’ve been underwhelmed by this series (having read through volume 5). Will I start v6? We’ll have to see how much other stuff I have to read… This’ll be a rather low priority. :)

@madfac Yeah and creepy too.

So, is the black world tree a person? It certainly seems to be a bit of luck for Krai.

@Hylebos Could be Dozran, the fact that he waited till the final charge indicates to me that the plan was to have the spider kill either the emperor or Duke Raul, considering Volk took the place of Duke Raul to keep up the pretense of that objective hiding the fact that it was actually artilleryman #22. who killed Duke Raul

I would not be surprised if it ends up being someone in the Eins group.

I wonder if the spider is someone that Volk has successfully gotten under his thread thing that is close to Carmine as well.

Question about Ernesta considering the Mountain Capital.

I don't remember her backstory, but is she adopted or are side effects of heralding random? I mean - Karen's mother forgot about her, but did Ernesta's also? Cause her current banished mother doen't seem to.

Kids and heros grow up fast. Gotta love Shii's take on Yuki's question though.

It is frustrating to see Stella be unable to go 3 sentences without mentioning Allen at all

Allen did finally show up, and looks like Elna has been calmed down for noslw

Allen wants a high school romance with holding hands and going on innocent dates, but at the same time doesn't want to really get involved with anyone yet because that would tie him down. Especially higher nobles like Fey and Jewel.

The epilogue did a nice job of showing why they all care for him so much - he gave Nifl and probably others a home and a family when no one else would accept them.
