more hints that Hakura is different:

he's immune to curses (has some active/automatic defense) so broken in the overpowered sense (and he apparently doesn't know why?! Who (or what) made him that way) he is unaware of other's emotional needs/ cannot read the room(?), cannot understand why a gift would be anything but practical, not a dis, but I know people on several spectrums who are in the same boat as him. Maybe it isn't just social ignorance. maybe not so different, he's dense when it comes to dealing with females (Leen and in his flashback) that silver-haired girl liked him and he made her cry. Pulling the hair (among 8-year-olds) of the girl you like is a awkward form of flirting, is is subconsciously trying to get closer to Leen? At the same time he's oblivious that the redhead knight is a smitten kitten (which is why her retainers are so adversarial towards him) I suspect developments in this area in the next section

Well, Eri got what she wanted from Eugene, without too much protest. Any bets that Princess Airi will meet Eugene's whatever-he-travels-in.

Still waiting for Eugene to admit that he loves Eri.

I quickly aimed a light magic spell at her

"Laser!"

This amused me far more than it should have.

This went from interesting to let's fukken go.

Its still funny hiw Count de Havilla d rly do just think so highly of Blanc when you also consider how silly thr girl is. Like guy is worried abouy what she would do once she becomes more powerfull than him? She will probaly just be smug about it lmao. This might be weird saying considering her race and the side shes playing but Blanc kinda just a bundle of nice

My kingdom for the sister to get reincarnated as a completely ordinary person.

I wonder if Keith knows he has a crush on Patience. He seems like the type who wouldn’t realize it. He’ll just rant “why are you always doing strange things?!!” without the “that make me jealous” at the end.

I'd be shocked if he did. He'd either be way more belligerent or way more heartful and warm about it if he were.

Niice. Really nice.

Gotta be honest, this is slowly but surely becoming more and more tolerable. Mainly because they are minimizing the incesisters plot and being a straight up OP adventure.

Hrm, these past couple of books and this part have just made me think that amyu is going to just up and leave w.o telling him one day soon.

They seem to be growing apart to me, especially since he's telling lies and half truths to her. Not like he hasn't been doing that from the start.

And amyu seems to want to do something and help people as the hero. I can't see how the group will keep on going w.o something happening, it's been years since they set out on the adventures afterall plenty of time to grow up and change

@rkkn I also liked the joke. I thought her being that quick to jump on the first solution she thinks of no matter how crazy is a funny gag. But it's like the entire setting is built on people being that stupid regularly and that breaks my immersion.

Aw, today's bit was so adorable.

I do wonder why Sandra had a sly look when he promised to help her.

Nightmares more than dreams for Claire. Good to hear the humans are ready to grow stronger.

I worry for Liliana. She may meet friends here who make her feel safe enough to not be a dog anymore.

Gender reveal. Wonder if there'll be a party? Princess Diana will have a new commission for the bewildered artist.

Well now something interesting happened. It only took most of the volume to get there.

I believe Sebas is the only one among the observers who knows about his status as a child of the gods. I don't know if Sebas also knows about how Ryoma is a reincarnee and/or his past life, but I do know how that spilled a lot of his details to the three when they were on their way to the prison city.

I wonder if Sebas will counsel Ryoma to consider sharing his past with the rest of them; to help them lay their worries to rest. There are plenty of good reasons for him to keep it secret, but sharing would also help him with developing more confidants.

Our gremlin needs to get back to gremlining.

We did get a moment of that when the duke's spirits answered her unasked question, but yes way too much politics in this part.

Water Magician suffers from that now and then too. The Empire, Kingdom, Principality, Friendship Zone, whatever just fades from my mind almost as soon as I read it.

Dang, this part makes me so anxious, it's going much too well.

Can we please not make the prey so sympathetic...

This almost makes it seem like Marchosias was setting this up specifically to forge Lily into Asmodeus, perhaps with Eligor's foresight. I wouldn't put it past him either, since we know he's a scheming bastard who will do what he thinks he needs to for his goals.
