Mukai: "You're friends with the Empress?" Oh boy. Just wait until you find out she's dating the Sacrosanct and the nation's top idol also has the hots for her.

Okay, Emma now secured as a harem member. Though I'm not sure she isn't in it just for access to the younger Hazama sisters... Also, she has a mushroom in her hair.

Aaaand... I'm pretty sure Koganezaki is on board now, too, but both her and Yotsuba are in denial about it. That was a fun little cooking session.

And that conversation in the kitchen confirmed this:

@pcj said in Yuri Tama: From Third Wheel to Trifecta Vol. 4 Discussion:

I don't think it ever said who the PoV was in the prologue, but from the things said in it, I don't think it could have been anyone other than Koganezaki. I'm going to take a guess that Koganezaki may have actually been in that kind of relationship situation once and ran away from it instead of confronting it like Yotsy did. And now because of Yotsy's inspiration, she's having second thoughts.

I really do appreciate Yotsuba's and Mai's relationship though. Yotsuba can share things with Mai and Mai interprets what's going on correctly and explains it to her. Like explaining from Yotsuba's clues that Yuna and Rinka see Makina as a rival (which Yotsuba apparently hadn't clued in on yet). Mai's prior experience may have ended up being a guide for some of these revelations, though.

@Phabiohost I don't remember if Leah has talked about coinage yet but this entire problem goes away if the guild is the global minting authority instead of the nations, and everybody uses a shared coin.

The devs could regulate monetary supply as they see fit by doing so as the guild.

@Darkchaser According to the afterword, this was the end of the web novel, but the series is intended to continue. I don't know the status on that.

@Tacitus
Isn't the bulk of their money kept in their corporate accounts? Though I guess having this much cash is still pretty rare.

I more katana maniac added!

@strangeattractor Mizuha oversaw probably the single worst defeat Druncam has suffered in recent memory. This isn't something the various factions in and around the city are going to be blithely unaware of. Considering the stain on Mizuha's reputation this causes, who would even want to hire her? The toxicity of being associated with her renders her otherwise decent administrative skills moot.

As for whether she's clever enough to have a nest egg stashed away, that rather depends on just how badly her judgment was impaired by becoming part of Katsuya's network.

I like the chicken walks. I would join them if I had a chance.

@karasutengu I agree with you. However I trust that Geord will protect her. Additionally, Ryan wouldn't try anything with Miranda present and he also seems to have a healthy fear of the forest people.

@LeavesCat it was high up in my chart of theories until he got summoned by a magical bell. I'm not saying that means it can't be true, but seems like the emperor is more of a "you have to move at my place" kinda guy

Today's release has given me hope that Tiberio's days are now numbered. But only if Westalia can put everything together and present it like she did with the evidence during the queen's trial in her old country. Time will tell.

@Exkalamity said in Cooking with Wild Game Vol. 29 Discussion!:

I wonder if there was some incident in the past.

They allude as much in previous volumes that something happen in the early days of the founding of Genos and way before the ancestor's of The People of the Forest's Edge immigrated to the area.

I love that despite how close they are, Margit still gets thrown off by the explicit trust Erich shows in Mika. Mika, on the other hand, is jealous of how close Margit is to Erich. I wonder if, in whatever disaster awaits us as the volume's climax, we'll see them bond and become friends.

Also, one of Margit's most known nicknames is "Knapsack" and I find that adorable because of how often she just rides on Erich's back.

Castor and Polydukes are doing well, and it's nice to see them having colts. Part of me wonders if the mares might belong to the bald guy whose name I forgot from Fidelio's party.

Naturally while the giants look down on goblins as weak, the goblins look down on the giants as dumb. I don't really think that's the case; their customs are very straightforward, but the 4+ eye giants in particular seem to have human-level intelligence. The lower-tier giants certainly do seem simple by comparison, and that's what they'd see the most, but the leaders more seem held back by the civilization level of their race.

Queen Lahtrice probably should've stayed behind so that she could've just followed them and staged a rescue, but split-second decisions don't always get thought through. I will also say that she has my respect since she didn't hesitate to put herself in danger for her friend.

Addamsgomes is going to undergo a serious restructuring following this. While the more restrained Davier may retain control, he's definitely going to be short several more aggressive flunkies following a mass kidnapping and agitated Nazel.

@Zahnfee said in Imperial Reincarnation Vol. 2 Discussion!:

Vol 3 added let's go

Preordered it and we haven’t even started reading. 😎

Sounds like the end is in sight. And Claudia learned things in the dream world that will benefit her in the real one after she wakes up. Noah just had to keep going in spite of how she looks and trust that when he gets enough of it there, she'll recover.

...and a rain of bird feces drenched Hodar:
