It looks like Luke's village now has gained its own standing army of approximately 5000 trained soldiers.... :D

@Libri-Liberorum It's イゾルデ in both volume 1 and this volume, and was translated as Iseult back then, so ideally it ought to be translated the same way in this instance for consistency.

Hmm. Still enjoying volume 5 quite a bit, but it also feels like the most random so far. Kind of like they're wandering from goal to goal as stuff happens.

The king and elder princess seem nice enough. I wonder what secrets they're hiding, though. Might not even be anything sinister, but it seems clear a lot is going on behind the scenes. Only 3 parts left in the volume, and a lot of mysteries still to uncover.

Oh Lord... I'd forgotten that her step-brother's name is "Hydgene" 🤣

I kind of wondered if there was redemption possible for Lyla. It was apparent back in vol 1 that causing someone's death, even accidentally, had really messed with her head. It just wasn't apparent yet if it would result in a lasting change. And still isn't I guess, but it's a promising start.

Oh, and she is waaaay too young for romance, but she and Kite are undeniably adorable together.

And Lefi and Mrs. Rir trying to teach the guys to hunt. Ridiculous.

I actually thought Lefi's hormones might have been fluctuating due to the pregnancy and causing her over-enthusiasm. But in the end I guess it was just her and Mrs. Rir showing the boys who the "real bosses" were (heh).

This bloody godess needs to die already Jesus God almighty I want her dead. She is determined to make this as painful as possible.

Now will this backfire in the face of the godess is the question. Curious how the childhood friend will play into all this.

Well, you knew the two doting family members would end up causing some sort of scene.

Well, that almost got violet really quick. Thank goodness Shiro's grandma intervened and stopped thise elves from committing a grave error.

@modokin I agree that original timeline Patty somehow prevented Mia's dad from being indoctrinated. Perhaps she was intended to be the agent of this indoctrination and just didn't do it, or perhaps she actively shielded him from other sources of indoctrination.

An interesting question is whether original timeline Patty did this without benefit of time travel, or whether she was/will be time travelling Patty grown up (invoking the timey-wimey ball.)

That said I dont buy the sentiment that having the power to save everyone demands that said person should sacrifice their life to save everyone. Im perfectly happy with old school dr who style anti hero, where they merely pursue their own interests and just persuade the people around them to do things for themselves a bit better. That is far more interesting to me then heroic obligation.

I agree that she doesn't have to risk herself to save anyone. And the divine beasts ignoring the kingdom until her return and even willing to lay waist to the kingdom for their past sins makes since. My issue is people getting hurt or dying because of her mere existence.

People going with the flow and mistreating her, then winding up dead or tortured in the poisonous garden? Sure. Sienna giving into a demon's temptation? Okay, maybe. But her mom hating her from the day she was born seems a little off and is clearly under demonic control right now, which brings into question Lavi's past inaction's.

The spinning gag is definitely not something I was expecting.

@Eolyn said in Fearsome Witch Vol. 2 Discussion!:

Was the side story with Owain, when she has the revelation that she needs to talk to that boy, just for fun-sies?

The entire series is for funsies.

Incidentally, I don't actually think that the underworld needed to be tackled first this volume - this book would have worked just as well if she went to Maple TreeLeaf first, and found out about the gambling epidemic when she got back. This isn't so much a cohesive book as two unrelated web novel arcs compiled into a single volume.

@Hylebos 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

@karasutengu Yeah, but Miss Amelia is waving a doom flag like crazy. What will the reason for her regretting not meeting Liam sooner be? Probably won't phase him very much. If it does, he's got three dragons and a literal army of women to comfort him. Amelia might wind up as a snack for Dyphon though.

Gonna be quite funny when everyone identities are finally revealed.
