@Shaun__ Spreading out the release of a work helps foster deeper discussions and more invested fans. Animation fans are relatively familiar with this phenomenon.

Will, there's only one reason she would complain about not being able to make an echo. Just keep up the good work in spreading her faith, and maybe Gus can get those grandchildren after all.

Really not looking to debate you over a comment I made offhandedly 4 months ago.

I know the chances of anyone reading this are slim-to-none but I have to get this off my chest.

What this novel says about mayonnaise is downright incorrect. First of all, I wouldn't trust eating an egg raw straight from the shell anyways, cause the salmonella checks aren't so thorough that it's guaranteed safe, at least where I live. Secondly and lastly, mayonnaise IS perfectly safe to eat because the acidity of vinegar and/or lemon involved in the process of creating kills not only Salmonella but protects it from a variety of other potential bacteria. To quote an article I found in literally seconds, 'A seminal study from 2000 took a look at the fragility of mayonnaise and set the record straight: "Salmonella, E. coli O157:H7, E. coli, L. monocytogenes, Staphylococcus aureus, and Yersinia enterocolitica die when inoculated into mayonnaise and dressings."
To put it just as plainly, but in layman's terms, store-bought mayonnaise contains enough acid (from vinegar or lemon juice) to not only kill food-borne pathogens, but also to prevent them from forming.'

Mind you, this does not mean it cannot go bad and in all likelihood your homemade mayonnaise will not keep as long as storebought one, but you also certainly won't contract salmonella from your freshly made mayonnaise.

WOOF WOOF WOOF WOOF WOOF.

I love the growth of Citrina. She's might be my favorite side character of the series, certainly my favorite Etolie. A petite but graceful poison master with the unflappable sweet smile is a good character combination. I like how her friendship with Bel is genuine now and that she displays minor yandere tendencies. I also like how she is the most capable Etolie of the bunch, being able to act independently on covert operations.

Sign me up.

Mommy? Sorry, Mommy? Sorry, Mommy?

I had gotten behind on this and now getting to get caught up. Just finished volume 10.

Now that Marguerite has joined their party, and their stories about how the original 3-person party formed described what their roles were within that party, it occurs to me that they now have a party that almost exactly mirrors Belgrieve's old party. There's a person in each of the same roles.

Percival = Angeline = the front line fighter that brute forces their way through everything
Satie = Marguerite = the front line fighter that also brute forces their way through everything and happens to be an elf
Kasim = Merry = the support mage
Belgrieve = Anne = the brains of the group keeping track of their surroundings and providing tactics

The story is becoming more and more interesting, I hope we won't have to wait years for the next volume.

I feel like this might be a stupid question but I don't quite understand something.
In the epilogue, Mamao is interested in Chue's "mysterious abilities" (like producing flags, flowers, doves etc seemingly out of nowhere). The following is the exact passage in the volume.

"I thought they might be perfect for when the bigwigs ask me to entertain them,” Maomao replied. Her brothel jokes always seemed to fall flat, so a little performance she could put on instead seemed ideal. Even better if it could help take the tension out of a situation.
“I’m sorry to burst your bubble, but I’ve already shown the Moon Prince what I can do on this trip, and if you’re thinking of amusing His Majesty, I did this for him before we left so he could help me decide where to go with them in the future.”

Where to go! The The quip almost escaped Maomao’s mouth, but she forced it back. Truly, Chue was a woman who knew no propriety.

Perhaps I am completely oblivious but what is the joke here?

As long as the series features adult Sousuke trying to teach the kids self defense, how to use firearms and guerrilla warfare because you'll never know when you'll need those skills, causing adult Kaname tons of headaches, Family would be a must read for me. I hope both the main series and the short stories sold well enough for JNC to consider licensing more FMP material.

Man, I love this bit of the story, but what in the world possessed the author to include that goofy A side story right after such an emotional moment?
Like, I went from goosebumps to mild amusement at best, why wind us down after a cliffhanger that perfect?

@Lily-Garden Oh yes, I think that was it! They'd licensed material out from other Japanese companies to put in the 6.5 book, so J-Novel would have had to sublicense from them on top of licensing the book itself.

"If you wait too long I'll die of old age or an accident or something."
"Oh there's no way that could happen, I made you immortal!"

After all, if potion loli dies, she loses her conversation topic.

So basically, her item box range is only limited by whether or not she can think of the target location. She is entirely capable of taking things out of her item box inside someone's body. She can probably cut things in half with it too.

Her potion-making ability is kinda... not limited to potions whatsoever. They can be magical, or just mundane food/water. And she can create sword...shaped potion bottles.

All together, she has the power of "your head a splode".

If the topography of her chest actually bothers her, she could always make a boobs potion.

I wonder how the "keikaku means plan" line worked in Japanese.

What's she making lead oxide containers for? Those are poisonous.

@meteorsfalling Thank you for clearing that up.

@MrCents_04
Hopefully you'll find other titles you enjoy from J-Novel.
Given this is one of the Sol Press license rescues, knowing that folks are here because of it is something the company will be happy to hear!
