@kuali said in The Blue Sea of Marielle Clarac:

This series is based on the real world right before World War I.

Huh. I would have guessed earlier - probably some point in the mid 1800s, with the equivalent of the Franco-Prussian War still to come...

Agreed. I was surprised by the author's comments alluding to this fact.

@Hylebos @A-James I'm surprised we're only now getting the first appearance of rice in the series.

One evil deed per day, hm? I was giggling at the thought of him at the end of a slow day, racing to find someone he can be mean to to hit his quota :)

Me, too! :-)

Well, there is a prior precedent, I suppose.

Isn't a stone that emits mana more than a curiosity? If it's not inside you causing trouble isn't it useful?

Carol: It's probably nothing. *pays Akira*
Akira: Yay! I got paid for probably nothing.
Viola: You're fighting level 77 hunters in 5 minutes. Good luck!

She looks fierce in that picture.

I hope that baron doesn't become a problem for her later.

Will she pretend to be voiceless if they remove the hex?

I figured Theo would have a different interpretation of the poetry than Evelyn did, but I thought it would be more along the lines of simply running away.

@karasutengu the problem of politics,
You can’t eliminate a prince without creating a lot of chaos and additional conflict

The first prince has been contained, at least for now

@Ardyvee I think the capes will go even further because her finding a way to embroider magic circles is another “new” tech, just one with fantasy roots in that world. All the Knights would want one. And possibly all the royal family, not just Keith. Though I don’t think you are wrong about him demanding one.

Yusurika seems like she’s gonna be the secret MVP

It’s straight diabolical how the author makes every character charming and endearing. I can see the Sword of Suffering. It still has my blood on it.

What do you mean last volume?

@Tacitus said in The Tanaka Family Reincarnates Vol. 6 Discussion:

Was that the queen's brainwashed son, or someone wearing his face?

It could even just be someone else who happens to also have brainwashing magic like the saint.

Anyway, looks like everyone participating in the monster studies field trip is about to get front row seats to the (soon to be established) monster menus class instead.

I'm a little disappointed we didn't get a picture of this tent that they put up though, maybe with a regular tent off to the side for comparison.

@Tacitus said in The Tanaka Family Reincarnates Vol. 6 Discussion:

Though that magic stone shipment coming in at this exact moment could be trouble.

Probably end up being some miraculous save in the end. After all, the saint is in the castle trying to steal the magic stones there, and if what we've been led to believe is correct, whatever's powering the barrier now is practically all that's left, so she'll take it, the barrier will start collapsing, she'll escape and report back to the church the country is basically finished and suddenly crates of magic stones start flowing into the capital to restore the barrier.

When I had turned into a rock that refused to leave my bed, Marie had arrived to boot me from it. That was thanks to Martina. She had seen me chatting with Ern and Marie over tea, and happened to see Marie out in town while she was running some errands. When Marie learned of my condition, she stormed on over. The rest, as they say, is history.

“She’s a bit abrasive, but she has a big heart,” said Martina. “She said you owe her a day out and a cup of tea.”

I reckon that our earlier suspicions that Marie may have offed one or more of her previous husbands are off-base. She may have skipped out of Falkrum simply to avoid getting roped into another "elder-care" marriage.

Wouldn't surprise me if she took some of the silverware though, as a payment for all her parents put her through. She just doesn't seem like a murderer.

@Hylebos awesome, good to see that we have yet another volume awaiting soon ^_^

@Cryten said in Flung into a New World? Time to Lift the 200-Year Curse! Vol. 3 Discussion!:

Something that interests me is that over these last two pre-pub chapter we have discovered that the enchanted monster stones that the master (and now the golems) have created are being called magestones. The same name as the ancient relics the other nations have found around (And the central magguffin of the one used by the humans).

What interests me is that they are sentient. Given that little wiggle when the kids said thank you.

@xdbx without knowing the inner workings of J-Novel Club, all we can do is speculate. I am assuming that they initially only licensed the first 5 volumes of the series as at the time, neither volume 6 or 7 was confirmed to ever be published. As J-Novel Club has never knowingly dropped a series being translated, they may have been waiting for volume 7 to be released and volume 8 to be added to the publishers release schedule before they attempt to license all three volumes for translation.

Of course, once they acquire the rights to the books, they then need to fit it into their translation schedule, ideally keeping the same translators and editors for the first 5 volumes to insure a consistent "voice" to the translations. Of course those individuals haven't been sitting idle this whole time and have started translating other series and need to wait for a break in between those volumes in order to start translating volume 6, 7, and hopefully 8.

I was hoping to get Zagan back, but I guess we might have to wait until the end of the next volume or even the 22nd for that.
I don't think anyone among the good guys, including Asmodeus, is going to die, but given the ominous foreshadowing someone might end up powerless after the battle. I also don't see Marchosias being defeated without Zagan's involvement so I'm curious to see what will happen in the next volume.

Yep stil nonsense. Shame as the first volume was just so good.
