Oh, his earlier rescue of Warm destroyed the father she hated. The princess priestess seems okay. I wonder if Milld knows who her father was?

Still catching up on other translations, but I was really hoping volume 2 would be starting sooner than later. Really enjoyed this one.

Looking forward to Santor going through being curb-stomped by Light before being dragged of to join the others in their former party.

Joking aside, it's nice to see Carmine and Rosaria getting it on, because it implies that imperial heirs will be relevant to the plot which is very rarely explored. As I've mentioned before, it'd be especially interesting if he ends up with a reincarnator daughter, and he has to balance his daughter's modern sensibilities with the expected duties of a princess (he's literally already promised one to the Gotritoir). It could make things especially awkward if said princess's knowledge made her far and away the best candidate to be the next emperor, as female succession is only just now being made explicitly legal.

Realistically, a three-wife output means he should be able to hold a reincarnator or two in reserve, but there is still the factor of Rosaria's children being "more important" than the others; what if she has only girls, or only has one and it's a reincarnator that now can't be used as a "first-wife princess"? The wives themselves like each other enough to tread into Yuri territory, so we can probably assume they won't try to sabotage each other's children, but that doesn't mean that other nobles will be as understanding. There are many available angles that the author could use for political drama.

All this does hinge on the series maintaining enough popularity to continue getting novels, since these things won't come into play any time soon. But currently, I think it has the potential to go the distance.

I would've punched the author if it turned out the entire eeies was just a dream.

Elizabeth, if you want to stop being mistaken for a man, you could try not going out of your way to look like one. Stop padding your waist and shoulders, maybe let the puppies out a little, and shift your look to "handsome lady knight". Otherwise I don't think you can really complain when people see you as what you're presenting as.

Another big mystery solved, by a baby. That didn't sit well woth Gaia, but who exactly would it set well with. Still, they are as always the picture perfect happy family.

I think you have a point.

And I wonder if the change in the grandmother’s behavior more recently is an indication that she regressed through time as well? After all, we already have two regressors, so a third is at least a possibility.

I was thinking the same thing, but I wonder if the grandmother had multiple regressions through time and is trying to prevent Free from killing herself (which we know she’s not, but maybe her grandmother thinks she is too). Look at the facts, she is keeping her away from the school where she would meet that boy, she prevented her from going to picnics where they could meet, she also tries to steer her and Vute together by reminding her to give him gifts.

However I wonder if she also leaned the truth during the last regression since she mentioned Free never returning to the Salt family home.

It just all seems to fit.

Another classic "you can't have my sister" troupe. Still entertaining though.

Meh.

Yes, it was cool to see the growing interspecies... toleration? Maybe even the beginning of friendship? And yes, it was nice to see Sakuya's feelings reciprocated. It was even kinda ok that it was in the form of 'oops, I don't remember you, but I really respect the guts of someone speaking up like that, so let's give it a try.'

What wasn't OK was the 'I'm going to make you my woman.' And the way her brother treated it as handing her over to him, after spending the last couple of parts getting him to realize that she is an independent person with the right to choose her own future. x.x

The character growth is lovely.

"The Duke is eating at my stand with the Fairy Princess... I gotta get my bros, we gotta pounce on this opportunity. Maybe they'll like their stuff too!" I love it.

Don't ever count the original out!
Even his doppelganger is unfathomable!

Gonna be a tough job for Lacey, but I trust she will pull through and finish the request. With some help from Wayne and Yuki. Maybe even Mace might run into her and be of help with some knowledge Lacey might not have realize.

@Hylebos

I wonder when it gets released by J-novel Club. I know it takes some months, but I hope we get news soon.

The standard community rule of thumb is usually around a six month lagtime between when a volume comes out in Japan and the earliest J-Novel Club is able to begin prepublication, but it can easily take longer than that due to schedules or the general rumbling of the licensing process. Stay strong!

@wanderer_1204 mushroom head is the younger brother of the mad scientist.

I hope we won't see Tear ever again.
Anyway, I hope in the next volumes there will be more action involving the protagonist, and possibly a time skip before him marrying the princess.
Curious to see if it will become an harem later, although the author so far seems to be prefer having side couples.

I hope Inami actually needs Aoi for more than continuing to be his fake boyfriend.

Wow, looks like we won't have to wait long to see the conclusion.
