I've been reading 'I'm Just a Villager, So What' without realising it was the same author vol. 2 just came out yesterday so I was literally reading it before and after this part - it's my favourite of the Hanashi ones.

This wrapped up better than I thought it would. Everything explained and we get a taste of how things are going forward - although at that point he could've just regained his memories - I do appreciate that the author is willing to leave affection unrequited, I don't have a problem with it, but 'harem ever afters' are getting a bit old; admittedly this is toeing that line, especially with the sister, but you can't say that's what happened.

The j-novel club premium edition of the ebook includes text less images or something, but there's no mention of bonus side stories with this volume?

Old man knows who she is, and wisely decides that she is not with the trouble. Finally someone who doesn't want to commit suicide. Though the text says that he died? Huh.

Considering that his men seemed to fail to understand his warning despite the piles of corpses strewn about, I wouldn't be surprised if they betrayed him. That or he faked his death.

... fuck...

Man, that was a rough way to end.

In addition to whatever "heaven blessed" related material might be in what he was going to burn, there's likely info on some of what he was developing for the castle as well. That could prove very dangerous in a few different ways...

Oh... well actually I didn't quite picture it playing out quite like that...

I kind of want a PoV from one of Beowulf's guards because I can only imagine they have no idea what's going on, probably lots of quiet whispering going on once they get off duty.

Man, she's in for a rude awakening ittn't she...

Well, it was funny. Stella being a closet pervert, Shizuku never managing to stray too far from the path of the yandere brocon, and Okko's admissions the school thorough a climatic duel.
We also learned a bit more about the ojou sama student council member, that in about every other series would've lead to her falling for Ikki after he saved her from an arranged marriage, but km this case the author decided that we didn't need another harem series in an OTP series.

Ooo, what will we find deeper in the dungeon?

While I'm curious about the where (gestation) and how (delivery) of male pregnancy, no need to toil through another volume to answer that question. I should just see if I can find Junior on streaming. 8-) 8-)

@Kotenmaru That felt somewhat random after building up the idea of the Wards.

Imagining Emilia being cute is failing me.

My biggest complain "Why no Nina dress up pictures?" If they had cameras there they could have taken a real photoshoot and sold them for money.

I’m half-expecting that one or more of the outfits will be part of the full ebook’s color artwork, since we didn’t get them in black and white. We’ll find out in a month, I guess. :)

O_O

We didn't get any of the dress-up session in the color art. Nina’s always in her maid uniform in the color images! ;_; <sniff>

@PeachyGreen would be ok for me. I wouldn't mind if it keeps going but ending while it's still good is a good strategy.

There were several issues with the pacing (especially clumsy time skips!) but I am surprised how many times this story made me full-on ugly cry.

I’d definitely be interested in more by this author

So... where is vol 5 and 6 ? I think waiting whole year is bit long ? Or the series didn't sold as well ?
That would be pity, especially since there is new manga from it and it is really well drawn.

J-Novel has never dropped a series mid-translation just because it wasn't doing well financially, the only time they've dropped series has been when the publisher requested them to due to (if I recall correctly) author-related controversy. Sometimes the licensing process is hellish and things take this long, there are many people to coordinate between before streaming can begin.

I too pray every week to see the series on the schedule, for what it's worth.

I was assuming that the second sister would too move near Noa but it didn't happen (yet?). Wonder if the author is setting Raiza as a sort of main heroine or is just using different approaches for the sisters.

I asked it before and I'll ask it again: Why did nobody just melt Bahamut Dominion into scrap?

@grevvvv
They're only almost finished.

Yeah, right. Keep telling yourself that dummy...
