Part 1:
I wonder who the girl with the katana on the cover is.
“Spanner in the Works” Well, that sounds sort of ominous.
Why am I not surprised that the guild is a front for the Organization?
General Albrecht joined the nobles’ faction? Oh my.
Part 2:
Yeah, I agree with Meltina and Mikhail that trying to take the fight to the nobles’ faction’s stronghold when they have fewer soldiers than the nobles’ faction sounds idiotic.
I suppose Ryoma wants to strike now before Albrecht’s forces are properly integrated into Duke Gelhart’s army.
Ah, so it’s actually the command structure. Ryoma want’s to strike now before the enemy’s new command structure is finalized.
I wonder what these arrangements that Ryoma made are.
Part 3:
Laura and Sara are up in other work? I assume that has something to do with the ace up Ruoma’s sleeve?
“This decision would be one Ryoma would go on to deeply regret later down the line.” Well, that’s ominous.
Using thaumaturgy for construction? That reminds me of Realist Hero. I’m a bit surprised no one thought of it before now, actually.
Ah. So Sara (and Laura, too, probably) are keeping an eye on the spies, then?
I see they’re making a disposable (probably floating) bridge, then.
Kael? Who’s that?
A dry moat? And they’re close to a river, too. Oh boy, I think I know what’s gonna happen.
Heh. All of the knights on the opposing side are advancing into the dry moat at the same time. The idiots.
Part 4:
Yep! I knew it!
“Chapter 3: The Assassin” That sounds ominous.
So, Sudou is the one who brought Radine, as well? Interesting.
“Sakuya,” huh? That name sounds awfully Japanese.
Looks like the twins are back to their regular outfits based on the that illustration, as opposed to the maid clothes they were described as wearing at the beginning of the book.
Part 5:
Given that illustration, I guess Sakuya’s the one with the katana on the front cover.
Interesting. Sakuya doesn’t appear to be from Japan, or even know what “Japan” is. Perhaps her ancestors are Japanese, then?
So, this Japanese katana is a weapon passed down in Sakuya’s clan. I bet her clan is descended from someone who came from Japan, then. In fact, adding in some speculation from last volume, I wonder if Ryoma’s grandfather came from that clan.
This old man just popping out of nowhere. LUL
Well, that was something. Is this guy a perverted old man, or something?
Part 6:
I wonder what the ninja clan’s “most ardent wish” is. Also, “the Divine Sword has hummed”? What could that mean?
Ryoma finally managed to get his hands on a katana! Woohoo!
Alright, I couldn’t quite tell for sure before, but that illustration confirms at least Laura changed back into her usual outfit.
Part 7:
I wonder who it is that’s in Duke Gelhart’s dungeon.
Normally, I’d say the fact that they didn’t find Mikhail’s body would mean that he would come in and save the day later on, but Mikhail doesn’t seem like the type of person for that… Oh! I bet Mikhail’s the one that’s in Duke Gelhart’s dungeon!
Oh man. Sudou’s made contact with Princess Lupis.
