And now it seems we have an end goal of creating a record player.

Sooner or later she is gonna combine that with the camera and make a video recorder.

@lighthawk96 Asuta did react somewhat negatively to the eyeball, admitting that he grilled the giba eyes before using them in a dish.

It's still kinda funny to see a story where monsters explode into particles of light when killed and randomly drop some of their items in a neat little pile when killed, and everyone just accepts that as a normal thing.

Just got to reading the current chapter today, and wtf, that came out of left field. This book started of so well too.

@heimdal7 - there's also the duty from having a privileged upbringing with servants, an expensive and wealthy lifestyle, a noble's education, connections, opportunities.

She's made herself wealthy through her inventions, could work as a magic researcher or forest hunter, and is powerful enough to also be some kind of court mage, but that's partly from having opportunities and connections that a commoner would not have.

Taking over Duvall and repairing it would be is paying the country back.

Sure, but given the foreshadowing regarding growing things I'm more expecting something ridiculous like growing some super hot peppers and turning them into mace.

If this were the author for the other ongoing villainess LARP story, I could see a last boss villainess cameo where this trio combines their magic to create that dragonplant that fires lasers.

@Kurzaa said in The Reincarnated Mastermind: Sundering Fate with Magic Swords Vol. 3 Discussion!:

In volume 2, Fiona was falling in love with someone she never met just because he stumbled across a rare material needed to save her life. Then she ended up superimposing those feelings onto a random adventurer because they had a magical static shot when they touched each other by accident. Sure, it was the same guy, but she didn't necessarily know that, she was in love with the idea of being in love and finally free to live her life.

She found out that "Mr. Adventurer" was Ren pretty quickly. He managed to give it away only a couple days into his time at the fortress thanks to him saying something about her medicine having used monster parts, and she then proceeded to verify it with someone else behind the scenes (she just didn't admit that to him until later). So, most of the time she was interacting with him, she knew exactly who he was even though she continued to call him "Mr. Adventurer."

So, she went from wanting to thank the guy who had gotten the monster part which saved her life (and who had done other amazing things that her father's butler would have told her about), to wondering if "Mr. Adventurer" might be him, to fairly quickly knowing that it was him, and then after she'd gotten to know him a bit better, he proceeded to save her several times - including from a legendary dragon. Whatever her initial feelings were and how much she knew about him, by the end of that, it would be pretty normal for her to have fallen for him.

So, I think that it's seriously selling her short to say that she was in love with the idea of love. And whether there is any truth to that read of things initially, she quickly had every reason to fall for the guy for real after having actually met him. By the time that Licia meets her in the third book, it makes perfect sense that Fiona would have genuine feelings for the guy and be determined to pursue him.

We know it was briefly mentioned how the Corpse King when he was the only one to return to his world was questioned, and just kept apologizing. So I wonder if his sister knows anything or heard anything from him. And that is informing her cold procedure.

Ah so the return of the Not Witch of the Highlands and her guardian.

Why would I not be surprised if the "Nameless Great Saint" woud somehow be Chise herself.

I thought they made it clear that is her.

I like how the author has given everyone personalities that aren't one-word tropes, and has revealed new aspects of them as time goes on, like Nell's daffy side and Leila's flirting.

Eh, he was a chump. If he hadn't had her weapons he wouldn't even have been worthy of being named.

The text notes the goon as rank 4 which is supposed to be impressive. Though maybe that meant that it's impressive for humans and dark elves can still be chumps at rank 4. Or maybe we're just getting power inflation.

You might also be overlooking that this is Alia we're talking about. The master of making a disparity in combat rank/power meaningless. And as she's now rank 4 herself, that means in general that anyone of rank 4 probably doesn't stand a chance.

The volume of food porn in this volume is a little exasperating.

@arghc said in Scooped Up by an S-Rank Adventurer! Vol. 5 Discussion!:

Even without magic, people are just not as observant as Lloyd? His group didn't spot his other group with Stella

Even Lloyd only noticed them upon leaving, while the others went to the meeting. They literally might not have been able to spot each other.

Well, well, well. Seems these elves are about to get schooled. And unfortunately for their "Spirit King's Censer," it's a lesson on why priceless relics ought to remain home. After all... while Rei is almost completely invisible to them without them using some bullshit Gifts... she's perfectly visible to Noor. Which means he far outclasses them. And which, in turn, means a single stone thrown at the censer will both be unblockable... and enough to shatter it.

Meowdine Rules OK!

I agree, sympathy for whoever wears the mascot costume next.

YES! Great news. Thanks @Coelodonta.
