This greenhorn fiend general thinks having powerful magic means she will never be defeated by humans but she’s about to learn that magic doesn’t always mean you’ll have the upper hand…

Isn't Robert a beefy body builder type?

Isn't Lilia the type who truly loves Elizabeth?

Glad Isaac got that whole issue with a first love straightened out. Though he has loved Elizabeth since he was eight.

@Hylebos I mean, when you put it that way, it's almost amusing, giving the impression of an author trolling us.

But yes, the entire second half of the flashback (i.e. eveything in this week's chapter) was basically just an unnecessary recap. The first half (from last week) was more defensible, since it gave us a look at the underlying family dynamics of Norris, Zach, and the Lenarutian royal family that resulted in the... er... fiasco.

Note: I use the word "defensible", but that isn't to suggest I think it was necessary. Feels very much like the kind of thing that an editor with a red pen should've crossed out with a note of "show don't tell!"

[Speculation] A lot of this volume has felt like side quests/filler. Other than Reid securing the source for the herbs needed for his mother's medicine, everything feels like it could've been cut without any real impact on the story, which makes me consider that this might have been added in during a transition from Web Novel to Light Novel? As I tagged, this is speculation, as I have no idea if that's how this property progressed, but...

@karasutengu To be fair, there are worse Gods to have create your world than Aion, and it sounds like we were one of her first projects, so... at least we got to be a learning experience.

At least it explains why we descended from apes...

If Carmine isn't completely certain as to the most effective response to the Imperium, why not consult with Rosaria? Isn't political IQ one of her strengths?

I dislike Or Gol.

So... how long d'you think Kain will believe Mary's dead? Dude seems pretty confident, but she wasn't just given immense strength by God. As far as I can tell, she hasn't even been injured, not even by the beast that was summoned by the device. I think Mary's got something that not even Nike predicted: true invincibility. Which he is not going to be happy with... and neither will Kain. Which will lead to them both trying, and failing, to take Mary out... and her taking out her frustrations with what Clone Nike did on the both of them, completely wrecking the Papacy and everything they've been trying to do. And hey, maybe Maria can be Pope then!

Jesus allens luck has been aboulste garbage from the get go lmfao, and wow this shows how much lydia has matured over the years. She was way more of a feisty tomboy who would swing her sword in the start, and she really claimed allen asap poor dude had 0 shot from the start.

@Ingraman Thank you! And yes, if I remember right, for this part I probably spent more time researching science, math, and history than I did translating.

@Whacka Nah, Liner was mostly acting on Kanami's behalf, anyway, if he messes things up of his own volition it's fine. Also doesn't seem like Tiara was quite as platonic as she made it seem.

I'm all for a good fight, now, but unless Palinchron shows up or something, there isn't a bad outcome on the table.

he doesn't get the depression "pass" (which is only a little one, cuz depression is great and all but if u have ppl to take care of, especially children, u freaking do something)

One of the something's that's fairly common with depression is suicide, especially if the depression convinces the person that they're causing problems for loved ones.

So much pointless fighting and death.. just tell me the end already.

Krai Is going to say that he came to sightsee and not for the level 9 promotion exam.

Everyone is going to interpret his words to mean that he already knows what the quest is, and participating in it was his primary motivation for the trip.

Ah next volume gonna be interesting one as hoho Will someone finally arriving it seems ( well i mean knowing righr tvou their gonna capsize too tgou lmao)

@LightningLeaf - The author did a really good job of setting up the budding romance with Kamil in the previous volume. As frustrated as I was that we spent such a large chunk of the book away from Little OP Lady, in a series with "romance" in the title, it was a good call to spend so much time in the ML's perspective. What does he really think of Dier? Is he really glaring at her in anger? What's the situation in the country she'll wed into?

@Kotenmaru yeah, I was a little surprised at them sending a Virtue if she was meant to be the one on the cover, as that would slightly overlap in origin with Millicia's history as a nun, but a Vice is much more fitting for the cover girl. Also prevents her from being too much of the sneaky type of undisclosed work, which minimises the Rozbeth overlap

I really hated the twist. Why should a man be a mastermind behind everything? Why can't Iora have her own accomplishments considering she is smart enough to see through the disguises of Leo and Wellmy and still pursue her own research. Why can't Wellmy come up with her own ideas without Aides as well.
I get the humility of the characters when they say they had plenty of support. But if the core idea came from them and is shown in the story that's what matters..now all the sisters' accomplishments are completely attributed to some other man. What the hell!

The whole physical relationship Aides and Wellmy have going feels forced and makes me somehow uncomfortable. Not that I mind reading about it if there is real chemistry between the characters.

Almost a whole volume of main story was way better (you can shove your foam!). Personally I couldn't care less about characters that are long dead or otherwise irrelevant. I'm here to see Allen squeeze rewards out of higher and higher beings.

Finally! I can now get my bi-weekly dose of Tarte cuteness again.

I wonder what Fel would find more horrifying, the bread diet or High Elf fine dining.

More dinosaur shenanigans?

Now we need some dragons based on mastodons, paradactyls, sabretooth tigers and tyrannosaurus that will combine into a giant combat mech.
