Will Latrielle manage to get himself named heir before his incipient blindness becomes apparent? Will Altina inherit by being last (willing) heir standing, or will she have to fight Latrielle for it? If disinherited, will Latrielle be willing to serve under Altina as head of the army? (My money is on this last option, but I'm not confident.)

Any idea on how long it would take before J-Novel can begin releasing chapters from volume 9? I don’t know how long the delays between Japanese and American releases typically go for this company.

Thanks for the answers everyone, I'll look into the beta site then

Oh man... this is multi-level suckage.

I really hope our good translator-san gets healthy soon so he can provide us with more of Ruri and Friends' antics! I mean that seriously though, I don't mind waiting for the next volume as long as it takes, just get healthy.

Drink plenty of fluids! @Tomey ! "Drink and Pee" is what my Mom used to say to me when I got sick growing up and it has yet to fail me. Purge the sickness with tons and tons of fluids and pee them away! COVID-19 is no joke, so be very careful with yourself and don't over exert.

@Terabyte It's a pretty loose adaptation with a LOT of characters getting shuffled around, but most of the actual plot of these first eight volumes gets representation by Slayers and Slayers NEXT.

@Rahul-Balaggan Great, thanks for passing that on, will make sure to send to support in the future with these circustances :)

@db0ssman Oh no Chelsea has it way worse IMO. At least Ruri was healthy and not starved or beaten. She also mentions at a few points that her direct family has given her love and attention.

Finished this and have to say in really enjoyed this series. I loved the format of every charity being a separate story (well except the conclusions) and thought the characters were fun and wacky and I liked the twists and turns regarding the Fake Game's identity.

Also felt the length of the series was great, three volumes and done - it felt like a one season anime with a satisfying conclusion. More like this please!

Volume 2 (Premium Edition): 5 Bonus Short Stories Clotho’s Stroll Swimsuit Shopping The Mysterious, Beautiful Angler Tsubaki’s Investigation Top Maid in the Kitchen

I think this volume may have overtaken Trembling into the Blue as my favorite volume so far.

@Terabyte That ending was unexpected. Totally epic, but unexpected.

Loved Charlotte's reaction. "You're late." Priceless.

I'm positive that Fianna is based off Hedy Lamarr, which is amazing

Also did the Saint kill off Fianna at the end of the volume? Cause that would totally suck, we get this amazing character based off one of my favorite female historical figures of the 20th century and then she immediately gets killed? I'm trusting you, author-san, don't just dangle an interesting character in front of us a then immediately say, nope she dead

I did not expect Hilde to get a yuri development, but I am very much for it! I look forward to seeing more of these two.

I love the interactions between Sophia and Daian. As of the end of this volume, I totally support this ship. Sophia deserves to be happy, and so I look forward to their developing relationship :)

@myskaros kewl thanks

@Lily-Garden Crap. Now I might have to buy this series. I've got loads of space left on the SD card.

So this is very late, and I'm sorry for not getting it done earlier, but we did receive a couple insert images to add to the prepub. There are only 2, and both are in part 1, so everyone will be able to see them, not that they can read this message if they aren't members, heh. Unfortunately, at present, we don't think there will be any more images, but check them out!
