It's not gonna take long at all for the sisters to arrive if Lumeria mentions his name in conjunction with the zombie dragon.

Sigh. I was hoping it would take much longer for the sisters to show up and ruin the story for me with more "comedy" physical and emotional abuse.

It would've been a nice twist on the expected events if he was already happy, successful, self-confident, seeing someone, and told them to stop lying to him and let him live his life.

The sisters drove me away from Peddler and they'll probably do it here. Though as mentioned the story is pretty generic so far so it might not be a loss.

An anime adaption is being considered according to chatter on X, but no official announcement has been made as of Jul 9th.

Nanami and Yoshin then somehow continue swapping the same cold back and forth because they can't stop kissing each other on the cheek

Crazy new theory:

The imperial government wants the lady to be captured by the rebels so that she uses her combination of arrogant ignorance and mind control bullshit to destroy the rebels from the inside--she is basically a Trojan horse. The rebels want to kill the lady to keep that from happening, as they are aware of that plan, but they have to do it in such a way that they can plausibly blame her death on the imperial forces since she is genuinely loved and revered by the rebel faction masses--being known to have killed their own "rightful queen" would result in an internal power struggle every bit as disastrous for the rebels as the lady's incompetent rule.

@Segoth agree. I like @sorvani 's idea that Jade Wings might become part of the main story when the party returns to Lafalan, with the side story being an update on Sai.

Well, I dunno if they will remain a part of the main story after meeting, but they should all meet as part of the main story.

I don't like Nazel's jealousy.

I don’t like it either - but to be fair, Valen is stepping over the line himself, so it’s not entirely without cause.

@GeorgeMTO yeah the forum bits aren’t as well done here as in Bofuri or Late Start Tamer but they’re still fun and provide insight into the wider game world

@GeorgeMTO he didn't have to really, he was cocky enough that he could beat him that he didn't stop to think there are other ways to win and it ended up biting him in the ass that he just let the prince goad him along really.as he said he's a noble at that time the prince has 0 right to be going after her even through a duel really but he thought it would be a straightforward fight when it wasn't. He also should've gotten maybe the king involved to help make things more neutral.

That's what I took the entire thing as anyway.

So he doesn't know about the candles. Well that will be a surprisingly early reunion for him.

Looks like his class turned out to be Hartmut after all.

Uncle Cher just kept promoting me for his own amusement.

...I've long since noticed that Adventure Guilds tend to have one of two policies when it comes to rank.

The first and more common is that it's a skill metric, where the rank is a representation of how strong the person is (by some metric); under this system OP MCs tend to rank up quickly or skip some ranks entirely.

The second is more a reflection of the person's trustworthiness, where the person has to demonstrate they know how to complete jobs and earn points to go up in rank; usually in this case the rank of the OP MC is not reflective of reality.

Allen wishes his universe ran under the latter scheme, but it's been explicitly narrated that it's the former with the whole secret guild rank.

@strangeattractor Sixtus is kind of a weird name, because it might either be a later variation of Sextus and mean "sixth (masculine)" or it could be a different spelling of Xystus, the Latinized spelling of Greek Ξύστος ("scraped, shaved, polished"). It doesn't help that Pope Sixtus I was both the sixth pope after Peter and that his name is spelled Xystus is older sources.

But given that the Kamihara can be somewhat loose with names (e.g. Nika should technically be Nika Saganova, the Kirsten and Dunst families are references to the actress) I'd bet on it either literally meaning he's the sixth child of his family or it just being a name they liked.

@karasutengu
It might be especially traumatic to have a female stalker if you're gay?

Anyone seen the anime yet? 2 episodes are out now. It was better than I expected, but my expectations were very low. Benno voices Michael and Jiraiya (Naruto) voiced Lewin, btw.
As I expected, it got to

spoiler

by the end of episode 1, but it didn't feel too rushed.

@LightningLeaf Since this was the first time Raid and Eluria had seen the spell in action, and that their voices being hearable through the flag was mentioned, I think they felt it appropriate to personally ask the spirits of their underlings for help. That said, it definitely would've made more sense to do it before hand when they aren't in a corrupted mana zone.

DITTER!!!! DITTER!!! DITTER!! DITTER! Ditter! Ditter.

Oops. ^^; Wrong series. I got so distracted by those two syllables that I missed the “sdorf” attached to them.

I’m quite enjoying this book so far. The characters are fun. :)

@Kurzaa said in Isekai Walking Vol. 4 Discussion!:

Any ideas on the cover model cat girl? Don't recall any beastwoman...oops, forgot about Sera. But isn't she older? Pick on the series page is too small.

They post the cover arts of new novels on JNC's discord server, zooming in on it, I can say that it is indeed Sera on the cover. You can compare the four-pointed star hair ornament on her right temple and her general ear fluff with her illustrated depiction in v3p4, about 53% into the pre-pub part.

So beku was already fomenting dissent through policies back then?

Also… what the heck did David think was going to save him if the duo hadn’t showed up? Did he have any plan, or did he just think ‘of course God will save me’ and stuck himself in front of the bullet without any protection?

Well, he also set himself within the nuke's blast radius, so...

True! Dude either has some special skill, or, more likely, he just really wasn’t planning on living.

Or he really does believe he's God's Chosen.
That he'd have survived while all around him was destroyed.

If he's right...he's right.
If he's wrong? No worries, as he won't be around to realize it.
