I was expecting a cutesy story like Douki-chan but this is a welcome surprise. I'm invested.

That's not what everyone in the raid party saw. All they saw was him talking mad shit just to back-track it all and let Airen go without even joining the order. It was all for naught, a humbling experience for baldie, if anything.

his name

now that's foul

Baldie was certain he would 1hko Airen, so my point still stands

Not to mention she's de-facto head of another duchy, I hope for the best

Plenty useful to not get taken advantage of, I reckon

I don't really wanna get into it but there's plenty of "ntr" regarding crushes

Isaki is just too strong

dude same, idr if we knew Chika's parents were divorced.

I somehow hate the mom more than him now, I thought she was dead, not just out of the picture...

MAN I LOVE ISAKI.

if Leti is to be under the Empress' protection, I can now rest easy...

this is probably a first for me reading manwha, trusting the empress smh

From an economics viewpoint, it absolutely makes sense: creating scarcity locally by diverting trade externally would both create new avenues of income and increase the local price. I so very much hope Searshow is being sincere.

They had me in the first half ngl. It appears I judged the Searshow dude too soon...

that's an interesting characterization, by that logic Hana's father's buddy and Michiru's would both be symbiotic or parasitic?

Hana's so OP she shares her divinity with the local deities.

Also, GYARU SPOTTED.

FR, all of us were blindsighted by the surprise NTR but more than anything, I am intrigued. Clearly Yuu helped her come to terms with herself and be a happier person, a better friend even. But then, why'd they break up? Was it when she found out he was her friends crush? When and how did she find out? Why'd she backpedal then?

I am here for it.

Honestly, I'm upset the old master didn't get slapped across the face. Cocky mf.

I hope best boi Kallisto slaps Derrick too. At least once... please.

confidence without competence, as always
