Huh… At least the first five Nia books were very recently updated. Maybe more of them were, but I only own the first five. :)

Calling it now, Dialto Berch is the true mastermind. He’s plotting something against his father, Gilmore Berch, and using Sora to accomplish it.

Man I hope so. Gilmore is such an idiot for fundamentally being an untrustworthy pos with how he treats his own family. Literally nobody would actually support him in anything because it is obvious he would betray you for a gold piece.

So the fact that his top son seemingly goes along with his shit despite being vastly more powerful is just bizarre. He very easily could have gone to another house and ruined his father. And it's not like his dad loves him.

It was father Conner with the chest on the mountain.

Are you playing the Making Magic edition of the Clue(do) board game?

Aoi has never told anybody that her sole purpose for teaching, and even her sole purpose for learning magic at all, is to find a way to go home.

Aside from her complete indifference to romance in general, she's going back to Earth the moment she has a viable means to do so. Getting married is obviously out of the question.

My general expectation is that once she masters the means of interdimensional travel, she shall visit Earth for the sake of nostalgia and closure, but then quickly settle for the multiversal commuter lifestyle. She deems teaching her calling, yes, but she loves magic and researching it just as much, and she would feel a binding responsibility to her students. Moreover, she would find mundane life on Earth far too stifiling after having tasted the agency and empowerment of being a sorcerous Goddess-Empress cosplaying as a teacher.

Getting a bit of crossover there with 80,000 gold.

(Part 4) "Kugelschreiber!" Thinks back to high school German class "Hang on, isn't that the German word for pen?" checks "Yeah, ballpoint pen."

I had hopes for this story but the i am so weak feeling sorry for his self protag is got me to the point of dropping this

Tasha (Satori) pointed out that polygamy is allowed (part 13), but... I'm pretty sure the heir of a dukedom is not going to let her imbecile of a husband play around when it is her title and he doesn't have one (you tend to give up your 'prince' title when you marry out of the house).

It's worth noting that polygamy or not, a common theme in historical fantasy is that it's common for nobles to marry for politics, make an obligatory heir or two, and then for one or both of them to have lovers. I don't know how accurate this is to actual history, but there isn't necessarily an expectation for married nobles to be sexually faithful to each other in the first place (except in the facet of actually making babies). However, if the family is like a business, the couple does need to be effective business partners. Regardless of who's boinking who, they need to be able to work together when it comes to the family's wealth and reputation. Right now, the prince seems to be a liability on that front.

@AliceCheshire I was imagining less of a no-holds-barred 2 vs. 2 and more Nero rallies to Alia's side immediately, forcing Cere to assist Aishe, so she doesn't die right away - Alia and Cere would end up having to wrangle Nero and Aishe respectively. Well it's pretty much out of the realm of possibilities, now.

Lloyd is going to fully heal the father, isn't he?

I wonder if the shogi pieces of this world would be adapted to have symbols similar to Chess since it is a pseudo western setting, rather than japanese characters.

I wonder what that blue grass does. Hopefully Melmel will make something good.

Will she also be running Aubright by the end of the next part?

Not quite, but she is "running it to ruin" by acquiring most of its' citizens for her domain.

Yup. She plundered Aubright of its most valuable element. :)

It definitely won't make Hoshimiya happier to know that no, Haibara never dated Miori before going back in time, instead he married her in the original timeline.
Letting Haibara realize that he actually made his friends' lives, even if sometimes they suffered, it's the right idea. Might also be an occasion for Uta and Tatsuya to become a couple, showing him at least a good thing that came out from his meddling, since I believe they weren't together in the original world.
It still doesn't feel the right mood for Hoshimiya abd Miori to peacefully decide to share, so the question about who is going to win remains open.

...like father, like daughter.

Well, at least the false saint was dealt with, although with hiw long this arc was it felt almost anticlimactic. Same for Lydia being saved by the hero in an almost deus ex machina moment.
Seems like this isn't the conclusion, and another arc is going to start, not sure how I feel about that.

So this part is basically setup, showing us who came for Ernesti's summon and the eventual meeting of the mind behind the technological leaps that is happening in this world

@Geezer-Weasalopes

I think you're right. Kalmia by herself is not competent enough to be the main villain. Her mother does seem suspicious.

Keeping our main character in ignorance about the sun witch is definitely a choice. Her grandmother seems suspicious too.
