@vilobion At a rough guess, he can do all the same things Dahlia can... Though probably with less fine control and a lot more power.

Indeed, this was a world of monsters and magic. The five major schools of magic were fire, earth, water, air, and healing; there were also other types, like enchantment magic, which was indispensable for creating magical tools, as well as the aforementioned body strengthening spell.

Volf, meanwhile, cannot use his magic externally except through blood-bonded enchanted items. So he's actually the most limited of the three!

Banging your sword on the floor has to be bad for it. It's good to see Kariya growing into his role as queen.

Kind of weird that people would push their way into the king's bedroom. Doesn't it have guards?

@Phabiohost I’m pretty sure they were aware of the possibility that someone could theoretically defeat it since they added a note in the message that says defeating the current archangel would still allow players to go back in time to defeat the weaker one. I guess it’s like one of those near impossible bosses that you can actually defeat early if you are good enough…and have a small flying army. Wayne’s party didn’t read the fine print.

Now, who is Nielle? Is there a new surprise awaiting.

I've been struggling to get through the latest saga with the shitty law enforcement bozo as I've found it very boring.

True.. Until now, the "antagonists" and the situations have been interesting in one way or another.

Apparently a safe choice for macarons was Pierre Hermé.

I remember one year, one of my coworkers brought in a ring-shaped box of twenty Pierre Hermé macarons as a shared office gift on White Day for all the ladies in our office, with a note of appreciation thanking them for all the positivity they brought each day.

Each lady took just one macaron, but he was literally everyone's favorite person for like the next two weeks, with everyone (men and women alike) talking about just how sweet and thoughtful that gift was.

I feel like there's a shared understanding that while still within the realm of reasonable pricing, gifting Pierre Hermé is still way above just a safe gift level. Miyoshi absolutely knew it was a power move when she sent Kei out to fetch them.

It's too bad that it doesn't sound like he got ring-shaped boxes of macarons to pair with actual rings.

@koh If you want a low stakes slow burn rom com then its the Dahlia in Bloom series about a magical toolmaker

As a web novel reader, it is very interesting to see everyone's speculation. The urge is there, but I will refrain from spoiling.

As much as I wish to introduce the web novel, unfortunately, it has been privated by the author. Here is the site for anyone to follow in case of anything new might happen.

And there is an anime in 2027! I did not expect that at all.

I love how the princess genuinely believed that nia was just bullying her lol, I mean I did as well but its still funny for her to say that outloud.

@jpwong Just speculation, but I'm pretty sure "Mom" knows Eri is bopping her son and doesn't seem to be doing anything to interfere with their relationship. Now if someone were to get hostile towards Eugene (that could actually hurt him), and that's obviously not Eri, I think they would be dealing with a pissed off mama bear of an angel.

Flattened might be putting it mildly.

@Kurzaa I'm gonna ask what you mean by "worked”. If you mean destroyed that fishtank, nope. If you mean dealt Elizabeth a mortal wound, maybe. If you mean bought enough time for the Dragon King to arrive, definitely.

Freaking awesome fight. Not certain she will die, but Elizabeth will lose the fight.

@MrMonday IIRC, the plot meanders in this section of the webnovel just as much as in the light novel.

More Housekeeping with Slimes! No breaks! Yaaaaay!

Oh? Is a certain someone going to show up for Cedre long before they come up in Tory's diary?

Wonder if he'll try asking his foster mom if she knows a Tory. She should know something if Tory did spend time looking after him.

Yorgos' speech to Yanna sounds like it came straight from the Catechism. Or at the very least a homily. You can really tell the background of the author in these moments. I think it's quite telling that most priests and religious figures in the story are well intentioned, outside of being misled by the Serpents (And that's another religious parallel).

Really though, this is why Tearmoon is one of my favorite light novels. Along with Mia's conversation with Duke Greenmoon, these two topics that rarely come up in media : addressing historical wrongs and the question of privilege. While the treatment isn't very deep, it does at least seem to be well considered. I mean how many other works bring up the concept of reparations when it comes to historical wrongs?

Hah, Rog is intriguing. I really like the idea of sharpening a power rather than simply boosting it.
