If you wanted to keep to the household theme, though, Henry and Nassius are part of her household and she feels responsible for them, so surely finding them and retrieving them could be considered a task to help with the household. And, of course, for a noble household it would be important to know your land and if there are strange things in it, so surveying the land is a household task! People's definitions of household and household related tasks are too narrow. Smh.

On a more serious note, yes, I concour that it is most likely that household magic is unaspected magic and thus can do a lot of things if you happen to know a lot about how the world works, and otherwise have plenty of examples of how things can work (such as sonar/radars, etc).

Today's events though are going to make Patience so much more interesting/valuable, though, and I look forward to seeing how royalty reacts once they hear of this. I would be very surprised if they didn't hear of Patience's exploits.

Poor Karla.

So we're on the fourth volume and the heroine is finally considering romance.

Just a thought, but I wonder if the elf in Elesia who trained Kotori to use spirits is Morrigan, the elder elf that helped raised Chris, Rurika, and Sera.

Really no pictures of the kissing?

The finished book’s color artwork?

@Kurzaa Hope is on the horizon. It looks like volume 15 was just released in April, so we’ll hopefully get it here within a few months from now.

@Rom but he has put items into the economy. They may just have to barter dragon blood for bread eventually.

my thoughts were that owata seems like a monster version of bamboo - and I wondered if the pressure cooker (tunnel )method w/ the seed pod was similar to how rayon was manufactured, but I don't know enough about the industrial process to speculate if there is a parallel

If I had to guess, luna has no ancestor or is the start of a new lineage.
That or her ancestor comes from arata’s world, so she just doesn’t understand who her ancestor is.

Reception window 7, where they direct all the anomolies.

Kudo is slowing increasing the number of people he has food trained.

Yes please. Want to be the fly on the wall when Akira asks Sensei about fusion magic.

Probably won't be nearly as spectacular as fusion magic is in DBZ

@Tacitus said in The Villainess Speaks Not Vol. 2 Discussion:

The boy hired to spectate her poisoning and the swarm attacking her, seems to be death worm? Death worm was noted to be fixated on someone and the boy was fixated on her, both are also associated with apples. Death worm was noted to be summoned by the main family of the Bringers in this week's part. Is the duke really involved with the Bringers since he was checking her survival personally?

Agree that Death Worm and the boy are the same individual. I also believe he has the ability to control the miasma swarms.

@Tacitus said in The Villainess Speaks Not Vol. 2 Discussion:

The merchants from the empire seem to be targeting neutral nobles for whatever reason.

I think they are targeting the neutral nobles to avoid suspicion, and the "hexed" cloth they are selling is part of the conversion process for creating swarms.

@Tacitus said in The Villainess Speaks Not Vol. 2 Discussion:

Though the duke has been heavily implied to be involved, I wonder if it's a red herring. The "noble with a competent butler" rode a horse to the noble sector after the swarm, while the duke was noted to stay in the castle and unlikely to go home before Liliana could leave for her estate. Though I might be reading too much into that since whoever's targeting Liliana would need access to her bedroom, and unless that is a different plot from whatever the mystery noble is up to, her father is the prime culprit for messing with her sleep.

The Duke's family is said to swear loyalty to a single individual for life and for the Duke, that individual is assumed to be the original King (Riley's grandfather). So him wanting to resurrect the king could definitely be a red herring. Especially seeing as how his "deceased" brother devoted himself to the Duke, heavily researched magic and curses, and the butler should be loyal to both. Though I believe the butler is the one discussed preparing the "vessel", assumed to be Lily.

While there's been no official statements from JNC, some of the authors have mentioned working on a v2, though I don't have memory of who has said what off the top of my head.

Please note that there will be a streaming break the week of Part 6.

Part 5 streaming date: June 30th
Part 6 streaming date: July 14th

@Makine I'm under the strong impression that he's adopted and none of them are blood related to him. I think there was something of the sort mentioned in a blink and you'll miss it moment.

Even if she and the gargouille shared the same STR, its blows would still land harder than hers.

I mean, is this not actually obvious? A larger limb has more mass behind it. There's a lot of difference between being hit by a baseball traveling 60mph and being hit by a truck traveling 60mph.

So, anyway. I was thinking that if we find out what the condition is to unlock Pervert, I’d be totally down to try mixing myself with a little something something.

So Blanc wants to become a pervert?

it's pretty good but doesn't it follow the same serie of event as hell mode just with a lot less bloat. Licia is even krena and cecil mix.

i'm not complaining though i would never have enough of this kind of stories.

As always, best boy is back, Carlos. It's funny to see him ship Fol and makes sense. If a harem ensues Fol has backup, watch out Lofus

The last part is giving out strong "last volume" vibes. Does anyone know if this is the case?

Yes, this is the final volume.
