Tutte has years of experience dealing with a reincarnator, and as such is a natural for attending to Nike as well. And Nike knows it and that's why he's keeping her around so much, not just for a hostage. Kain has always talked about wanting to be by the pope's side, and Tutte waltzed in and took the job he wanted. He's jealous.

I'm getting the impression that the device Nike is building is a gateway back to his original world (which is probably Mary's as well). That could be interesting.

@josephmassie728 No problem. Glad to help.

Why not give Ryo cake weekly? Or even daily?

Because if he succeeds in winning weekly cake, it will eventually become bi-weekly (twice a week) then finally daily. Believe me I know it for a fact.

Queen Orania: "Hmm, this Way of the Empress seems an awful lot like the Way of the Princess. ...No, that can't be true. The differences must just be too subtle for me to comprehend! I must study Master all the harder!"

Though the two artworks did look like decapitated heads sitting on top a crimson cloth, which Mia definitely didn't appreciate.

You cut a woman's head off one time, and she never lets it go... sigh

The Empress' Prayer: Please let it stop glowing, please let it stop glowing...

Imperial Princess Miabel Luna Tearmoon was posthumously dubbed the "Adventuring Princess."

They spelled 'Adventouring' wrong :(

The Queen's Prayer: Let it shine forevermore. Let it shine forevermore.

The origin of Mia's [public speaking] skills goes back to a side story in volume 9 of the manga

...I'm going to need to start putting manga short stories into the omnibus, aren't I?

@Cryten yes, I thought he’s used all 3 kinds before too. Maybe he just forgot?

Seems like unless some8ine decides to play Cupid Maria is going to stay single forever.

It's a bit annoying that the author still doesn't want to make Arata and Reina an official couple despite them basically being married with a kid.

I am missing the dinochicks and sano-kun.. It has been a while since the last volume ended.
This series has 12 books, the last was released on July 10th this year.
I really hope this series continues.

Sometimes there's just random delays in licensing due to the background chaos of the universe. They'll translate the next volume at some point, worry not.

On the bright side, I managed to catch up with the prepubs.

That letter sounds like Emilia has fallen for Quill in the worst way.

@Paul-Nebeling I doubt he comes back riding Raum.

Now Raum being more adventurous because they're raising some fledgling disaster beasts and him bonding with one of those...

@Arcene Yeah probably the "enemy" that did the most damage to Kanami up till now...

@HarmlessDave
Maybe? I thought they met at the party at the end. I should reread it.

Ikki's powers of observation come in clutch again. Information is the best weapon.

The big question now is if we're getting just one new girl or two.

@lighthawk96 said in Backstabbed in a Backwater Dungeon Vol. 13 Discussion:

Looks like a crisis may actually be avoided. Hopefully.

I'm pretty sure we're heading toward an other fight against a Master.
It would be strange to build up that guy just to not have some sort of confrontation against him.

Oh dear. Anyone else think the divinity will abdicate to Carmine at the worst possible time?

@Arcene and that volume 7 doesn't end on another huge cliffhanger.

@josephmassie728

I think this is the original web novel:

Isn't "Brie" a funny looking French cheese?

@ravenchilde happy birthday!
