Another great part. How can we be so close to the end though?

Her library city. After everyone telling her it was impossible.

My mistake. It wasn’t the smile he wears when dumping work on others–it was his revenge smile. 😂

The Zent gives her a final exam of destroying some medals, perfectly logical and normal, of course.

But man - this feystone exchange. It was a delight to see each of them react with such heartfelt feeling, and both messages basically “I will watch over you and protect you and the things you care about.” The image for this part is just spectacular too.

In around 10 days (2024-07-12) there will be a fediverse wide event similar to r/place called Canvas. It have been made last year and we had made Myne pixel art with some additional stuff around her.

Link to an announcement.

If someone wants to find or make another pixel art design you are encouraged to do so.

I’m glad to see there are no more hiccups in Alexandria so far. Although the same cannot be said about the rest of Yurgenschmid going by Eglantine’s constitution and Anastasius’ increased worry. Oh well, you reap what you sow gremlin laughter

I’m quite surprised how shocked all these nobles are that Rozemyne and Ferdinand are not this head over heels couple they thought, I suppose they all let their inner shipper run wildhwith speculation instead of staying grounded in reality. The pair’s reaction to their engagement stones probably undid all of that shock though, actions speak louder than words and they all just witnessed something that will probably be enough material for 5 volumes of Elvira’s Love Stories on its own. I suspect Ferdinand miscalculated Rogemyne’s reaction and is coming to the realization that henceforth he’ll be known as a passionate romantic.

I was quite struck by Eglantine saying she owed Ferdinand and Rozemyne an apology, that there were things she hadn’t realized before becoming Zent. WHAT THINGS? You can’t drop a nugget like that and do nothing with it. 😂 Hoping it comes out in a side story then.

And then Rozemyne CAN WE STOP TALKING ABOUT WINTER PLEASE? Genius of Kazuki to make that her euphemism.

To be fair here Rozemyne’s reaction to the suggestion she and Ferdinand did the deed Pre-Marriage would elicit a similar reaction in our world even as recent as 100 years ago so that’s just perfectly understandable. Although I think it would be best for Rozemyne and Ferdinand to keep the details to themselves, I suspect a lot of what they did would be considered more than scandalous by the other nobles.

As recent as 100 years ago? Keep in mind that Rozemyne is a bit shy of 14 (and just 15 by our calender, if you calculate that their year has 400 days). That would be scandalous… and outright illegal in most of today’s countries. I think the age issue is heavier than the pre-marriage “coming of winter” issue.

some cool links:

There was a side story where a pair of lovers (Cornelius and Leonore?) went to the gazebo and covered themself in a cape to mix their colors.
Not only Ferdinand had done something lewd in public but also with underage woman that he didn’t even marry yet.

I think this is prime time for Rozemyne to publish some smut in Yurgenshmit
