Lera's older brother, who's supposedly useless, was mentioned again. Is he going to be the hidden boss?

Considering Lera already went through with the magic ritual I don't see what the brother could do at this point especially with literally zero support from anyone.

...yeah, I can see Firth and Astrid working out, much as the two of them would protest XD

That was quite the unique afterword, convenient they can't kill him.

Yeah, I've never read one like it before, and I liked it.

"In an era like this, when even boys went to the bathroom in pairs, it wasn't out of the question."

That line made me laugh.

A lot happened in this volume, and it went quite in a different direction from what I expected.
Thanks to Yumina's noble sacrifice (?), Alpha is no longer concerned with Akira becoming close with people, so I'm not so worried anymore for what might happen to Elena, Sara and Shizuka.
Akira keeps getting stronger, and funnily enough this is making Alpha stronger too since she can go all out with her support. The other characters too got some upgrades, especially Sheryl that is making big money.
Nice character development for Carol, who is back being an hunter rather than a prostitute, and earned a spot among Akira's close circle.
Udajima turned out to be sliiiightly less scum than believed, but I'm not going to cry for his death. Wish Akira killed Viola too, but I supposed she's here to stay until the end.
Not sure what will be of Shirou and girlfriend, are they going to become antagonists or allies? I vote for the latter, but who knows. Best outco,e would be fir them to work with Akira in a way that makes Sakashita happy and allows him to keep the fancy front line gear without having to kill them.
Alpha's goal seems definitely to bring back the old world, but if that's a good thing g or not, we still cannot tell.

I really liked pieces' story. The rare moment of weakness his grandfather showed him was also wonderful.

Gay love seems to be a lot more explicit than the yuri stories. In this one the sex scene was important to the story.

It was alright … and it’s over.

The last part of that part was sooo bad. And quite painful.

@irioth I was surprised tbh, im really hoping its fixable as that would leave the mc without any natural hands lmfao, i would've preferred the already artificial limb get destroyed instead.

So the end there makes me think that maybe people keep getting reincarnated over and over.

I was hoping Elisa, Strath, or better yet Shenley would be the ones to show up Hednis. Using your nukes so early is less interesting.

How did Aoi let Owain not teach her elven magic? Admittedly the chatter makes it sound like he only got "substandard" elven magic training, but that's not none and no doubt Owain's experimentation or research made up the shortfall.

@Tacitus that's what I mean. The part ended after a fairly decent amount of stuff happened yet the characters still weren't even named in passing. That just feels like a slight departure. I'm sure the way JNC cut up the parts is more the issue than the writing. It's just a little more odd as a reader than previous parts.

They all probably forgot.

@karasutengu Yeah, as with most things, money is the problem! It's also not so easy to share a single katana between so many people. Wanting to preserve it in its broken form isn't exactly without its merit either, though people might have their disagreements. It's a pretty sticky situation to be honest!

@henshaw33 said in Royal Spirits Vol. 5 Discussion!:

Luftanen has a royal problem? Send in Deir, the tactical nuke!

Some people, when confronted with a royal problem, think "I know, I'll send in Deir." Now they have two problems.

I know this is on the heart imprint, and it feels like the author and people in-universe are really pushing Kamil. But I don't like Kamil! He's patronising (the s usage indicates the strength of my dislike) and condescending to Dre and I don't like him!

She can do better.

Seems like I shouldn't be worried now.

@madfac Yeah, I was kinda hoping it wouldn't come back up... Unfortunately it's already been established in the series in prior volumes.

And we're off on another...hmmm...I don't know...long drawn out battle arc of some sort...I guess.

That's not a lich!

It's Ainz Ooal Gown!

@Phabiohost the initial setup worked much better, Ryo and Oscar clashed over a misunderstanding and that could've lead to many different directions. Sadly I've seen too many Japanese series to not worry about the possibility that the author simply expects us to think what Debuhi did was reasonable or justified and the antagonists are cool.
