@Makine It's military-grade.

Finally having read everything this is easily my favorite of the batch. It's quality through and through.

I totally understand Martha's reaction to seeing a yard full of meter-long versions of these: (youtube vid of tailless) - https://youtu.be/VQ1m3jfcLYU?si=qMwQ2e6IPCjmJTg9

@GeorgeMTO thanks a lot. I remember the tournaments and so on. but I had no recollection of the war.

Dang Regina, let the man rest after a day of hunting XD

What can I say i mean... yeah Francette was kinda a musclehead and so is her descendant still. Good thing she cleared the misunderstanding but yeah for Kaoru it sure must be a headachr thinking that so many ppl still kinda hung up on her but i mea ... atleast Falsetto shouls not be to big a problem since ... well shed a musclehead

@HarmlessDave

Definitely later :)

Ahhh...

It has crossed my mind a few times that it feels odd for a story that seems to be pretty carefully plotted to have introduced us to Kite and then abandoned that thread without any further acknowledgement. Apparently, that was not the case.

Is it just me or do others think Misha's uncle (Ryne) is a prick?

Yes. Not because of how he treated her father - though I don't agree that her father is to blame for her mother's death - but just in general.

Guys - calm down. I know it looks like we're making progress, but we've still got a lot of bottles of estrevino to drink and describe at nauseum, and we've gotta keep hearing about Volf closing his beautiful golden eyes when he eats Dahlia's home cooking - also described at nauseum.

It's not gonna take long at all for the sisters to arrive if Lumeria mentions his name in conjunction with the zombie dragon.

Sigh. I was hoping it would take much longer for the sisters to show up and ruin the story for me with more "comedy" physical and emotional abuse.

It would've been a nice twist on the expected events if he was already happy, successful, self-confident, seeing someone, and told them to stop lying to him and let him live his life.

The sisters drove me away from Peddler and they'll probably do it here. Though as mentioned the story is pretty generic so far so it might not be a loss.

An anime adaption is being considered according to chatter on X, but no official announcement has been made as of Jul 9th.

Crazy new theory:

The imperial government wants the lady to be captured by the rebels so that she uses her combination of arrogant ignorance and mind control bullshit to destroy the rebels from the inside--she is basically a Trojan horse. The rebels want to kill the lady to keep that from happening, as they are aware of that plan, but they have to do it in such a way that they can plausibly blame her death on the imperial forces since she is genuinely loved and revered by the rebel faction masses--being known to have killed their own "rightful queen" would result in an internal power struggle every bit as disastrous for the rebels as the lady's incompetent rule.

I don't like Nazel's jealousy.

I don’t like it either - but to be fair, Valen is stepping over the line himself, so it’s not entirely without cause.

@GeorgeMTO yeah the forum bits aren’t as well done here as in Bofuri or Late Start Tamer but they’re still fun and provide insight into the wider game world

So he doesn't know about the candles. Well that will be a surprisingly early reunion for him.

Uncle Cher just kept promoting me for his own amusement.

...I've long since noticed that Adventure Guilds tend to have one of two policies when it comes to rank.

The first and more common is that it's a skill metric, where the rank is a representation of how strong the person is (by some metric); under this system OP MCs tend to rank up quickly or skip some ranks entirely.

The second is more a reflection of the person's trustworthiness, where the person has to demonstrate they know how to complete jobs and earn points to go up in rank; usually in this case the rank of the OP MC is not reflective of reality.

Allen wishes his universe ran under the latter scheme, but it's been explicitly narrated that it's the former with the whole secret guild rank.

@strangeattractor Sixtus is kind of a weird name, because it might either be a later variation of Sextus and mean "sixth (masculine)" or it could be a different spelling of Xystus, the Latinized spelling of Greek Ξύστος ("scraped, shaved, polished"). It doesn't help that Pope Sixtus I was both the sixth pope after Peter and that his name is spelled Xystus is older sources.

But given that the Kamihara can be somewhat loose with names (e.g. Nika should technically be Nika Saganova, the Kirsten and Dunst families are references to the actress) I'd bet on it either literally meaning he's the sixth child of his family or it just being a name they liked.

@karasutengu
It might be especially traumatic to have a female stalker if you're gay?

@LightningLeaf Since this was the first time Raid and Eluria had seen the spell in action, and that their voices being hearable through the flag was mentioned, I think they felt it appropriate to personally ask the spirits of their underlings for help. That said, it definitely would've made more sense to do it before hand when they aren't in a corrupted mana zone.

DITTER!!!! DITTER!!! DITTER!! DITTER! Ditter! Ditter.

Oops. ^^; Wrong series. I got so distracted by those two syllables that I missed the “sdorf” attached to them.

I’m quite enjoying this book so far. The characters are fun. :)
