Or will she defy expectations and actually land on a relatively tame alternate form?

If this does happen, then I'd expect it'd be to Blanc's disappointment.

But, as the comic relief, she bounces back quickly. Hm... I wonder what kind of keyword she'd use for her transformation.

@lighthawk96 That's our Hero Golden-Hair for ya.
(and his minions of course...)

Why does the shadow demon want the body?

Wait. His name is Leoniel Lionel? Did his parents hate him?

Gulaf Zaza's developing the mindset that cooking is a strength worth exercising in competition, which will probably drop a bombshell on the next clan meeting where they discuss doing business in town.

After all, Toor Deen, Asuta, and Rimmee Ruu have all already participated in such a contest at the castle. Viewed through that lens and with the benefits of competition between The People of the Forest and the Castle cooks allowing deeper bonds, I suspect Asuta is in for a very big surprise when he's anticipating harsh resistance from Gulaf and said resistance just doesn't manifest.

@Min-Ro I like the way the author wrapped everything up so well. It was a joy to read this series. (and thanks to JNC for providing it)

@Kurzaa
Ooh! I like the idea that the noble pretended to be shocked in order to win.

Looks like we have a streaming break for this week (June 11).

@karasutengu Djoser's a funny one. He has some prejudices, but he will work himself half to death if it means pursuing what he thinks is right. Probably could use to loosen up a bit, but that side of him is what makes him an interesting character.

Yeah, everything about Death Worm we've seen thus far indicates he'd be the kind of assassin who wouldn't take a job that requires him to produce the body as proof or anything that serious.

Also, why do I have a sneaking suspicion Death Worm is, like, the Third Prince of the Empire or something? I would say Second Prince, but unless he changes a lot in appearance over the next four years, Lilliana would've recognized him, right? She did see his face, right?

Definitely the old school teaching of beating the bully back.

Those waffle cookies sound tasty.

@Hylebos said in The Trials and Tribulations of My Next Life as a Noblewoman Vol 5 Part 1 Discussion:

This was originally supposed to be a joke post but now I'm wondering if the assassin was Reinald in disguise.

I doubt it, but I’ve been wrong so many times in life. ;) I like the idea, though. :)

Edit: Got rid of “doubt” in the second sentence above. <sigh>

@LightningLeaf TBH I was on the fence about this already, and if that's what the author really thinks then I won't continue this.

Melt down that sword and bury it.

Mate, after the flag you just raised, they're obviously going to follow you. Just talk it over with your dad. We want the cats!

Lofus, why pick on someone for liking sweet, creamy coffee? I do prefer mine black but not liking bitter things is due to genetics not moral or personal failings.

That bit about his father restraining him despite his lesser mana is fascinating. Is there some affinity with darkness that gives him greater control, or is it more like using someone else's strength against them with skilled techniques?

I don't like Lofus, but he's a great character.

Rais doing an Iai basicly with a broadsword and vis hands is hillariously just him. But Eluria hmm.. you and Raid ely are just muscling away your problems huh

Conclusion?

Hard to have a continuation once all the baddies have been wiped for daring to lay hands on Tutte.

Bringing you own hype man?

That level of preparation is why she's known far and wide as the Great Sage!
