I'm guessing cuz the North is his backstory with how others mentioned his appearance and work are from that region, so he just matches those as a given.
Also why he sometimes have said that he'd like to go there to see what the North really is like.

Just a recap of everything, in the eyes of an NPC lol

Unless history has changed (cuz of him) that's gotta be a fake main waifu. Or a mind-controlled one.

The sword seals his former shadow power, might be that.

Huh. I thought her dad's soul is taken hostage by the big ghost. I figured it's the same case with that bookmark ghost.

For us in real life, sure. For Lefiya, Filvis is no longer elf. She's akin to those who had killed her fellow adventurers, an evilus. Maybe also the green slime, by the looks of those faces on her skin. I dunno if you'd wanna accept or forgive that, or even understand it.

That said, this series is more serious than that Bell's story. I like it.

But you see it right there.
The only outsider capable of accepting her and thinks she's not wrong as a person, still couldn't accept her knowing what she is.
And Lefiya is starting to trust dungeon monsters, too, but somehow Filvis is something beyond that in form.

Why not her dad? With him gone her house could actually be a safe haven for her from all those ghosts.
I don't want him to attack the train axeman though.

Lol that surely is one way to end the story

This is not over, otherwise the title's concept is done. Gonna be more drama for sure, or maybe she'd turn into yandere mode.

Jinwoo's sister's husband?

I agree, This training arc is just stuck in one place with the same archetype and background. Sure enough it's gonna be boring.

Can't he just pray for that super goddess to him? He could talk to her in his mind, right?

The High King or something like that?

But he's imagining killing one ... and he likes it!

I think it's the AI's way to make sure he stops getting in Akira's way. Alpha told her to make sure Katsuya doesn't become a problem.
Maybe they find with Akira's help they would be closer to their objective, whatever that is?

They haven't even conquered a state yet, surely it's not even half.
I hope the mangaka stays healthy til the end.

It's DBZ all over again.

LOL

I actually like this twist of event. It's been too easy mode with his busted skill. And its his skill that's busted and not himself, so this progression is fair and should be predictable -- otherwise Qubi would have done it to the dark elf.
Now the matter with Qubi is hopefully written well, and not a my-hands-are-tied excuse.
