    Snippets of activity reports and tweets from sensei (mtl version)

    Somewhat inspired by "when the snow started falling," I wrote a conversation between "bookish" characters that fits in 140 characters.
    Enjoy how the positions, names, surrounding characters, and winter customs change from Part I to Part V.

    (Part I)
    Lutz: "Oh, snow! Mine already go into the house. You'll catch a cold soon."
    Mine: "Just a little more. All that's left to do is this work, so wait."
    Turi: "No, no, no. You'll be in bed for days again. Let's clean up and go home. Okay?"
    Mine: "...... you keep saying that, it's going to be spring."

    (Part II)
    Gil: "You said you'd be staying in for the winter when it starts snowing, Master Mine. Have you finished your preparations?"
    Delia: "I'm not slacking. I'm not Gil.
    Fran: "Delia, stop it. We've already prepared the household goods and the rituals."
    Mine: "Soon you'll be spending the winter in the temple. I'm going to miss my family."

    (Part III)
    Brigitte: "Oh, it's snowing. We should think about moving to the castle soon. ......"
    Rosemayne: "Going to the nursery is probably important, but I'd rather stay cooped up in the temple for the dedication ceremony."
    Dahmuel: "If you go to the children's room, you can read the books in the castle library."
    Rosemayne "I will go!"

    (Part IV)
    Gilvester: "When it starts snowing, you realize that the Social and the House of Lords are getting closer."
    Karstedt: "Ah. Hopefully this year will be uneventful. ......"
    Ferdinand: "Can't be uneventful, can it?"
    Rosemine: "Why are you looking at me there! I won't do anything!"

    (Part V)
    Hartmut: "The season is already approaching when Master Rosemine is going to the House of Lords. Why did I graduate!"
    Cornelius: "The House of Lords is no place for you to come and go after graduation. Give it up."
    Rosemine: "Hartmut is overreacting. If you don't graduate, you're disqualified from the entourage."

    Actually, I was wondering whether (Part V) should be a conversation between the candidates for the lords.
    I thought it was the entourage that was on Rosemine's side, so I prioritized the conversation with the entourage, but since I'm going to go through the trouble, I'll leave the lordship candidates VER as well.

    (Part V)
    Wilfried: "Snow, huh? It's almost time for the House of Lords. Have you finished your preparations?"
    Rosemine: "Lectures are no problem. I will do my best to get to the library as fast as possible."
    Charlotte: "Sister, please don't forget about socializing."
    Melchior: "Ha, I want to go with you as soon as possible."

    Good Marriage Day

    11/22 is Good Marriage Day.
    So, I introduced "A Good Marriage" which may be related to [12/10 release] Part X.
    I've written quite a bit about royal relations in my quiet collection "Battle in the Middle," so I thought I'd do a little advertising!

    https://twitter.com/miyakazuki01/status/1594911367060156417

    Trajkovár and Magdalena
    Their first meeting was at the House of Lords, where they began as teacher and student.
    Magdalena is the third wife, but the three wives are good friends and "support team for Lady Traokvar" because they cooperated to survive the political change and afterwards.
    In Magdalena's point of view "Defeat of the Traitor" the names of the first and second wives were finally decided. LOL!

    Anastasius and Eglantine
    As you can see from the main story, he is in love with Eglantine. They have one daughter.
    As has been the case since he was a student, Anastasius is doing everything he can to devote himself to his wife.
    I'm sure he will continue to devote himself to her for a long time to come.
    I also wrote a little about the detached palace in Anastasius' point of view "The Royal Position" and decided on the name of our daughter.

    Verdeclaf and Sieglinde
    Dunkelferfelger's first wife Sieglinde is a paternal relative and childhood friend.
    The warlike flirtation of coordinating ditters continues to this day. The other wives were taken for factional coordination, so Sieglinde has the most carefree relationship with them.
    Perhaps Restylout and Einliebe have a similar relationship.
    The epilogue shows Sieglinde supporting the rear.

    Siegiswald and Naerache
    They don't have a special place in Part XV, but it would be a pity to exclude them from the royal family, so they are an ...... extra.

    He is good friends with Naerache. They have a son. She has a son.
    The couple is happy together, but it can be difficult for those around them.
    Adolfine and I are not a good couple, so...yeah.

    ○ Future Plans

    As mentioned in the afterword and preview of Part V-X, we would like to reiterate the following information.
    Part V XI will be released in the spring and will include a drama CD.
    As mentioned in the afterword, the extra SS is from Gillvester's point of view.
    Originally, I had planned to focus on the battle at the House of Lords and to include "the pale royalty" and "the rite of succession," so I decided to include them in Part V XI, but the scope of the recording changed.
    In the process of creating the script, Mr. Kunisawa asked me, "Do you have any details about the exchange between Anastasius and Laobrut in this area?" or "What is the resolution between Magdalena and Laobrut? I gave him the manuscript of the quiet story collection, saying, "I am in the process of writing it, and I will send it to you when I have finished it.
    I gave him the manuscript of the quiet book and said, "I am working on it and will send it to you when I have it written. Especially from Ferdinand's point of view! As a result, we ended up with a drama CD with no mention of the pale-faced royal family or the succession ceremony. LOL!

    Part V XII will be released in winter. It will also include a drama CD.
    It will be a long time before we can release it, but we have a lot of new work to write. More than half of it will be new work for ......, and maybe two thirds of it will be new work.
    I was too busy to continue the serialization and finished the main story in the shortest way in the web version, but I plan to write up to the inauguration ceremony of Aub, which I omitted in the book, so the main story will increase first.
    I would like to include a collection of quiet stories as well.
    I will keep you all waiting for a long time, but I would like to write the last part, which is the longest one I had initially envisioned.
    I hope you can look forward to it.

    J-novel posted the part 1 preview translation of volume 5-3:
    https://j-novel.club/read/ascendance-of-a-bookworm-part-5-volume-3-part-1
    Unlike the other volumes whose translation were in 8 parts, this one will be in 10, and consequently, the release of said volume, and the posting of the 5-4 part 1 preview will be delayed as well. The English release of part 5 volume 3 will come out on April 05. I'm happy to have read Matthias' POV. Reading the POVs of the former Veronica faction is always interesting.

    I had always found the end of the WN rather rushed. I'm glad it will be extended, and we'll have a lot more content. It will no doubt be worth the wait.

    Author's activity report highlight 1-8-23 (mtl ver.)

    Part V. XI Book work in progress.
    Prologue is from Ferdinand's POV
    Epilogue is from Gretia's POV
    SS #1 is from Eglantine's POV
    SS #2 is from Jiffy's (mob fisherman) POV

    The bonus SS will be from Adolphine's POV
    (This is a special offer for TO Books online store and bookstores that support book lovers.)

    I added a lot of things, so the main story has increased by about 20,000 words compared to the web version.

    ==== [ Author's Twitter Post (mtl) ] ====
    https://mobile.twitter.com/miyakazuki01/status/1612417919807545346

    Eckhart and Cornelius look alike, don't they?
    What? Which part?
    The part where he married his childhood friend who was related to him.

    When I was told ......, I thought about it and realized that Lamprecht is indeed different from one of the others due to Veronica.

    In Eckhardt's case, Heidemarie is a childhood friend with whom he is related.
    He lost his wife early in his new marriage, and people around him pressured him to remarry.
    And the remarriage partner he chose is Angelica.
    Will it be a workplace marriage?
    Although they are not involved in a burning love affair, they can walk in the same direction and are partners who have each other's backs.

    In Lamprecht's case, he and Aurelia are senior and junior colleagues who met at the House of Lords.
    They were both contract escorts (?) to work off marriage pressure from their bosses at work and their families. Neither of them had any romantic feelings for the other, and they both graduated from the school.
    However, the marriage is pushed forward by the people around them...
    A romantic relationship that begins with a renewed courtship.

    Actually, I had quite a lot of things in mind when I wrote the newly written short story "The fork in the road" from Aurelia's point of view in Part IV V, and there are many settings that I haven't finished writing.
    I only have quite a few notes left, such as the meeting, the battle of the territories, the escort, the time of the decision to marry, the tea party with Georgine, etc. LOL!

    Cornelius is married to a childhood friend who is related to him and has known him since childhood.
    No rank, no factions, no workplace, no wife-mother-in-law problems, smooth sailing love marriage.
    The only biggest problem is his boss (Rosemine) who grins at him.
    There are some love episodes that make you grin, but there are no upheavals, and it's really peaceful!

    If it weren't for Rosemine, .......
    Eckhart and Angelica would never have married. First of all, it is doubtful that Angelica will be able to graduate from the House of Lords, and since Boniface does not put much effort into training escort knights and does not look at Angelica, she is out of Eckhart's sight in terms of combat and rank.

    Lamprecht and Aurelia could not marry either. Aurelia's father allowed the marriage because he was able to increase the amount of magic with Rosemine-style magic compression, and the marriage was consummated when Georgine, who visited Ehrenfest in Part III-IV, saw the usefulness of the epidemic spread by Rosemine, and Ahrensbach pushed for the marriage to take place.
    In that case, Lamprecht would be forced to take responsibility for Wilfried's failure in the unveiling and dismissed, or he would marry a noblewoman other than Aurelia recommended by Veronica and the Knight Commander's house would become completely Veronica-oriented....
    I really felt that it is difficult for Elvira's son to rise smoothly in a world where Veronica's power is strong.

    Cornelius and Leonore can marry, although it will be more of a political marriage than now. At the very least, they will have each other's names on the list of possible marriage partners.
    They are relatives of the same estate, have parental relations, and are of the same generation with the same status, faction, and amount of magical power, so they would be partners who would be considered for marriage at least once.

    Is that the Stronger prototype? update me if there is a nendoroid, I'm more interested in a nendoroid since she looks the same adult/child in a chibi form. And you can change her clothes.

    Hi everyone, hope I can get some answers to these questions, I've read through the 97 pages of this forum and some of it was answered but it tended to leave more questions haha. Any help or answers are appreciated! I love this book and world and my curiosity is simply overwhelming! Sorry for the extremely long list of questions.

    1) From what I understand Yurgenschmidt is -inside?- a pocket dimension away from the normal world/worlds, and the country border gates lead to other worlds, is it all one world and the gates simply go to diffrent locations -such as lanzenave- or diffrent worlds entirely?
    1.1) What do we know of the outside world and countries? I know of Lazenave and that a prior royal family member set up there but I'm confused, did the mages/nobility lose power at that location? Or did they simply want to return to Yurgenschmidt?
    1.2) If Yurgenschmidt is within a pocket dimension, what lies at the country border? Is it actually walled or is it similar to duchy borders, where only the gates are visible, is the outside just white sand?
    1.3) Are the countries outside of Yurgenschmidt living in/on the white sand? Does white sand exist where they are? I remember reading that they struggle with food but achieve it without mana in a limited fashion.
    1.4) I have heard the name of a country (Bosegeist) but can't find info on it, all I know is they have "magic metal" what is known about this country and the magic metal.
    1.5) How do countries -if any- live without mana? Is there objects they rely on? Some land with mana inside it or does the laws of physics differ when one leaves Yurgenschmidt?
    1.6) Why did Yurgenschmidt close all border gates except with Lazenave?

    2) What exactly is the white sand stuff? What are it's properties and how does it interact with the rest of the world, does it change into fertile soil when specific conditions are met? Or does soil just *appear* thanks to the foundation of the country and duchies?
    2.1) Are oceans natural or a product of magic? E.g did the foundational magic turn white sand into ocean and that ocean continues until the Country Border? Or does it continue on? Or are the oceans natural and simply remain when creating Countries/Duchies?
    2.2) If these oceans are created, why would the country actually want to create them? I don't see much benefit of ocean area's that are not farmable and ships take a long time to build for trade.
    2.3) If these oceans are natural then how does life sustain itself within them? If everything is white sand surely the ocean floor is too? Or are they special exceptions within the world?

    3) When a feystone or magic tool exceeds it's Mana capacity, it turns to Gold Dust, what is gold dust? what is it used for and why is it valuable?

    4) A childs mana is based on their mothers capacity, if that is the case how/why do people with the devouring have mana? Since their parents are commoners with trace amounts of mana.

    Thank you kindly to anyone whom helps with my indulgence =D

    I'll try to answer as best as I can, though I wouldn't claim to know everything about the world of Honzuki, I love it precisely because it's a very complex world with their own rules.

    1. Afaik, Yurgenschmidt is kind of a kingdom, created by Airvermen (jiji-sama), previously a subordinate god of god of life Ewigeliebe. He descend to the world to atone for his guilt for matching the god of life with god of earth Geduldh. He created Yurgenschmidt specifically to protect people with magical power, because outside of Yurgenschmidt, they are being hunted & exploited. Yurgenschmidt is protected by magical shield so it's currently unknown what lies beyond the shield other than it's hard for people with mana to survive out of Yurgenschmidt.
    1.1. We know that people with mana is exploited out of Yurgenschmidt, and there's many country other than Lanzenave. Previously, when all zent candidate still getting their own Mestionora book, a zent candidate flee from Yurgenschmidt & found Lanzenave (please correct me if I'm wrong). They don't lose their mana, but it's harder for them to live, since all magic tools is created in Yurgenschmidt & the only way to get schtappe is from the garden of the beginning. They tend to have larger mana because magic tool is not readily available too I think. We know how Rozemyne mana is abnormally large because she don't have magic tool to absorb her mana.
    1.2. I think there's a shield between Yurgenschmidt and the rest of the world, but maybe Yurgenschmidt is kind of like a kingdom in the middle of a desert (not sure about this) that was separated from outside, because the climate is depend on god influences instead of the usual climates.
    1.3. I think it's currently unknown, but people other than people that have magical power is thriving outside of Yurgenschmidt. Maybe Miya-sensei will expand more on world outside of Yurgenschmidt after the 5th arc complete, because duchy other than Alexandria is planning to open the border gate.
    1.4. I'm not sure, sorry :blobsweat:
    1.5. Pretty sure they live as well as we do, a world where magic didn't develop surely have science to rely on.
    1.6. Because the current zent don't have Mestionora book, it's essential to open/close border gate, redraw duchy border, and pretty much everything zent needs to do. Without Mestionora book, the current zent can't do his duty.

    2. Are you asking about the white sand outside of Yurgenschmidt? If so, I'm not sure either, but I do know that Yurgenschmidt is mostly white to hide the people from Ewigeliebe. (My understanding is that since Ewigeliebe is insanely possessive of Geduldh & hate everything born out of Geduldh, people with mana is also born out of Geduldh & Ewigeliebe, so Airvermeen out of guilt, create Yurgenschmidt to shelter them) in short, Yurgenschmidt is an artificial kingdom, build out of mana. So, everything is from mana, including soil.
    2.1. Yes, everything in Yurgenschmidt is build out of mana, that's why Airvermeen is desperately demand everyone that capable to reach him to fill Yurgenschmidt with mana. Without mana, everything will turn back into sand. Since it's artificial, as long as one have Mestionora book & enough mana, they can pretty much change everything in Yurgenschmidt. I'm sure the mana needed would be impossible for human though.
    2.2. Pretty sure no one can live without water, all water connected to ocean, it's unthinkable not to have ocean.
    2.3. Since it's artificial, I'm sure everything is up to the one that created it in the first place. If white sand can become fertile soil, why can't ocean floor too? Don't forget the ocean contained Rozemyne's beloved fish :blobrofl::blobjoy:

    3. Gold dust is basically a magical materials. It's used to create everything in Yurgenschmidt. The earliest example is when Ferdinand create a temple in Hasse for Rozemyne. It's also used for some brewing recipe, like Rozemyne & Ferdinand's disappearing ink for example. Aub candidate also use it in class to make mini duchy. It's very valuable because it's chock full of mana & we know how dire mana situation currently is in Yurgenschmidt.

    4. There's an explanation about devouring when Rozemyne first got her Mestionora book, but I don't think it explains why the devouring children comes to be, so I'm not sure either.
    Here's the excerpt from vol 28 (Part 5 Book 7)
    I hope I don't lead anyone astray with my answer :blobsweat: if anyone noticed something incorrect, please do correct me, thank you.

    Just a product of rereading
    1) There are 3 countries already presented
    p1-p5 Sugarland or Lanzeneve
    p1 - ch51 Bath Country (no proper name yet) ~only commoner knowledge so far makes me think some of the commoners are just like Otto (outsider descrndant)
    p5-4 BosenGeites - only description is industrial country, had high demand for metal, the country where the likes of Otto (traveling merchant) came.

    1.1 According to Gervagio, they are already loosing their influence. Lanzeneve had invented anti-magic tech/tools (silver cloth, silver dagger, submarine/ship, turg, other tools that had connections with devouring, might be were shadow clones), many more we dont know, but they all involve for SLAVERY.

    Add-ons Ahrensbach border gate is open to the world for 10 yrs before Roz made it to Alexandria.

    [Theory] NEEDS TO BE DEBUNK OR EXPANDED - former devouring soldiers doing mercenary work when Georgene smuggled herself into Ehrenfest. Are they independent? Who or What is behind them?

    1.2 All we know is the white sand is a mask to deceive the God of Death/Life.

    [THEORY TO BE DEBUNK OR EXPANDED]
    Lanzeneve came with a ship so there are salt water under the white sand? Or Yurgen is hidden within oceans or glaciers. Marvel's Talo is hidden within a Forest.

    1.3 I really think Lanzeneve is surrounded by Ocean, it might be a big continent. Tanned people were spotted by Ferdinand so just imagined the harshness of the weather. My guess might be like Australia? This hasn't been expanded yet as of this moment so just take this as a theory as well.

    1.4 Bosen Geites is the land where the traveling merchants came. It will be expanded on 5-4. 1 book away (prepub is 5-3) maybe Jnovel has different interpretation.

    1.5 Not yet expanded but I think they also live like us (unpredictable weather/farming etc). Only reason why current Lanzeneve Royalty stay in power becoz of their control of artificial foundation in Lanzeneve. Control over foundations means you can control Food Production. Without Artificial weather, Lanzeneve will produce food like Us (possible drought, hunger etc). This is the only reason why the real Power in Lanzeneve dont overthrow them.

    1.6 will be explained in 5-4, just 1 book away. Influence of Foreign Country Bosen Geites on Former Eisenrich. This happened 200yrs ago.

    2) White Sand is a mask to hide them (mana users) from God of Death. Properties not yet expanded.

    2.2 everything inside is artificial, but the ocean connected to Lanzeneve is a real ocean or sea. It hasn't been expanded yet if Yurgen is really hidden in a Glacier or Bermuda Like Triangle. Lets wait for more info on this.

    2.3 there is like a thin layer in the boundary (bypass for water) Maybe there could be a leak/passageway, Lanzeneve ship tried to push itself outwards when it try to escape. Well I dont know. This is just theory and need to be debunk or expanded.

    3) Its use for Creation Magic. Since p3 the use hasn't been expanded yet.

    4) the current info we had right now is from fb7. This commoners/devourers will have small mana box (the size of a laynoble to none). Liz who died at 13yrd old or Myne (who dies at 5yrs old)had a starting box of a laynobles while Dirk had a starting box of a mednobles. Well author told us the box size doesn't matter but the density is more important. Example of this is Gervagio who had a big box but low density of mana. Just read 5-10 when you get there Its very action pack and hard to explain since English is not my main language oTL. Maybe the density is mana strength or attk. I don't know I think this still need to be expanded. Well speed of mana recovery hasnt been explained yet as well. The speed of how mana recovers is really fatal for a devouring child who dont have magic tools to relieve themselves.

    Thanks for the replies!

    I assumed that the entire planet/world was made out of white sand, seems I was mistaken, though I look forward to the Author showing us more of the world, she has done a great job at revealing the world one layer at a time.

    One thing I'm unsure of, you say that white sand masks/hides Nobles/Mages from the god of life/death, why? I understand he is possessive but does he physically do something if he see's finds them the nobles/mages?

    Is the god of life trapped in Yurgenschmidt?

    The whole world of Honzuki hasn't been expanded yet. We have much to learn from Miya-sensei. I hope she get healthy soon & release more stories. :aww::aww:

    I assume the god of life will try to get rid of them. Mestionora, their daughter is rescued by Airvermeen & protected within goddess of wind family with the strongest protection power, her eyes changed by goddess of light, her hair by god of darkness to hide her from god of life. If a literal daughter of Ewigeliebe & Geduldh is so strictly protected by other gods, for fear of what Ewigeliebe might (or maybe has) do, what of living people? They might die from his jealously induced wrath. The god of life bring about winter to kill anything born out of goddess of earth too.

    No gods trapped in Yurgenschmidt if you don't count Airvermeen, but their power help form Yurgenschmidt, so I think what Rozemyne means with god of life power is sealed in the middle is only the power necessary to form Yurgenschmidt, not the actual god.

    I'd also like to add a few things I remember.

    - - - About other countries - - -
    Not much is known as of now. We might learn more about them in the eventual part 6 (would likely need to wait a few years if it ever comes to be...)
    Lanzenave: they have lots spices and sugar, so I'd say it's a warm/hot country. They have the silver material that doesn't allow the passage of mana they can use for soft clothes, weapons, armor, paint. They also have black stones that allow passage of mana, and thus allow them to pass the country gate. They see the people with mana as nothing but feystones, and thus energy sources. They seem to treat women like commodities (if not trash).
    Bossgeitz: the country that traded with the then large duchy Eisenreich. I'd also infer they were an industrialistic, and militaristic country, they wanted the magic metal produced in the mines of Eisenreich, and incited the duchy into rebelling against the Zent of the time. Zent who beat them back, closed the country gate and broke Eisenreich into several duchies, one of which is Ehrenfest. The mines that were north of Haldenzel went to Klassenberg.

    - - - about the sea - - -
    must be filled with mana. Due to lack of mana, Ahrensbach's sea was dirty but after Rozemyne filled it with the mana of the gods, it became pretty and lively. Also, the sea of the other duchies were shrinking because their country gate was closed. However, since only Ahrensbach had an open country gate the sea stayed at full capacity.
    Now that the Arensbach country gate is closed, the sea will surely shrink gradually and the country will have lost its trading partner. On the other hand, since Eglantine can open the other duchies's country gate with her GH magic tool, we might see a reversal of the situation in the future the other country gates opening while Ahrensbach remains closed. If those other gates open, the duchies' seas will grow again and return to their former levels, and we might learn more about the other countries.

    - - - about the sand - - -
    Not talking about the white sand here.
    In the archduke candidate course, the students are given a box of sand. They must fill it with mana to transform it into fertile earth.
    We also know what happens when the land is deprived of mana. It happened after the trombe, and the ternisbefallen incident. As it loses moisture, earth gets dry, lighter (in color) brittle.... and the next stage would be crumbling into sand.....And maybe then turning white??? Who knows... It was just a sudden thought I had lol. Going back... After Count Bindewald of Ahrensbach was imprisoned, his province had no giebe to replace him and after a few years the province had begun its desertification process, its vegetation now ressembling savana, unlike the still green Gerlach from Ehrenfest.

    + + + + + + + + + + + + + +
    On another note: the translation of the Honzuki drama CD 7 should be released quite soon. Currently translating the last 10 minutes. The last few minutes are gold with Ferdinand's added lines/thoughts :meowpuffymelt:

    Nope. But Since Ss collection is already underway, those special paper book bonus will be compiled. Thats the only chance the English readers will read the bonuses. The only problem will be the merchandise (bluray/teaset/any other products with bonus Ss) Ss'. I hope it also got compiled along with the Drama Cd bonus Ss.

    ○ Love Your Wife Day

    https://twitter.com/miyakazuki01/status/1620429686835916801
    Since it's Love Your Wife Day, let's talk a little about Lamprecht's beloved wife, Aurelia.

    As tensions were rising after Rosemine ran out of the castle during the Ehrenfest defense and the knights of Reisegang joined them, Lamprecht flew Ordnants, saying, "The danger is imminent, but neither your father nor I can leave the castle.

    'I know because your father-in-law has also contacted me. As the first wife of the Knight Commander, your mother-in-law says she will protect the pavilion, but if it is only to protect it, wouldn't I, a former knight-at-arms, be better suited?"

    He is surprised to hear his wife say that she has left their son, Siegrecht, in the care of his mother-in-law, Elvira, and that she herself is clad in simple armor.

    I have been away from training for a while due to childbirth, and from your point of view, as a knight escort of the knighthood and the next lord, I may be unreliable. However, as someone who has married into this family, I will do my best to ensure that our family members can fight without any worries in the rear. Please leave your mother-in-law and son to me."

    When she said this to me so forcefully, I fell in love with her all over again.
    "Hey, don't you think my loving wife is cool?"
    My colleague stared at me in love.

    ...... That's the kind of place I'm talking about.
    I remembered that I had a story like that.

    Ah.. There's so many SS to request, unfortunately I have no Japanese language skill to post and it was last day to request yesterday :notlikeblob:

    Anyways, I saw this funny request and like to share with you all: :blobpopcorn:
    [mtl] I would like to see the point of view of the entourage immediately after "coming home". Rosemine's hairstyle has changed and Ferdinand came out happily drunk. I wonder what happened and how she interpreted it. :blobthinkingsmirk:

    Another one requested:
    Later, Cornelius' point of view after returning home... Ferdinand-sama, you've been drinking, right?
    He smells like alcohol...and Rosemine has her hair tied up...(or I notice the position of her hair ornament is slightly different)
    So I'm going to have quite a bit of trouble lol.

    hmm... Aurelia is usually rather timid and introverted, but when it comes down to it, she seems to be much cooler and more reliable than Lamprecht.... :hmm:::bloblove::

    I also have a few things for you.
    The translation of the 5-10 volume manga (I do thank saix2 again for the pictures)
    [​IMG]
    Cornelius: the disgrace of Ehrensfest
    Leonore: indeed....
    Harmut: The goddess descended upon Lady Rozemyne!!!

    Ferdinand: it's only natural for us not to trust our aides and remain vigilant to defend ourselves
    Rozemyne: I don't live that kind of life though?
    Elvira: how are things lately?
    Rozemyne: I'm busy with the dedication ceremony and preparing for the printing of the new book. It would be the best if I had more time to read.
    Lieseleta: your meal doesn't seem to proceed, Lady Rozemyne
    Rozemyne: I feel that fatigue has accumulated a little. I believe I will recover if I lie down and read for a bit.
    Rozemyne: I was overprotected much more than I thought.
    Ferdinand: I feel I heard requests whose indulgence went beyond overprotectiveness a few times?

    [​IMG]
    Angelica: as soon as she appears, wrap her up and carry her out. As soon as she appears, wrap her up and carry her out.
    Rozemyne letter: I just returned.
    Angelica: as soon as she appears, wrap her up... and carry her out!
    Cornelius: Angelica! Be a bit more courteous!

    Trauerqual: Magdalena, will you truly rest in that outfit?
    Magdalena: Lord Trauerqual, please sleep at ease. I will definitely prevent the invasion of ??? (couldn't get the kanji right) - please, use that room –
    The direction of the room where Magdalena went to sleep
    Magdalena's aura: I will protect you
    Trauerqual: I can't feel at ease.......

    Also, trollcity translated a new SS from Tuuli's POV, when she realized both what sort of feelings she has for Benno... and that nothing could ever come out of them... Do prepare tissues...
    https://trollcitytranslations.wordp...-pov-realisation-in-the-midst-of-the-clamour/

    Now, as for my thoughts...
    The main story and Otto's SS had made it seem as if Benno was entirely against that mariage and that he had no feelings towards Karin, that while she certainly was a great help, she was too much of a potential threat, and that was it. However, it seems that Karin was a woman on par with Liz or maybe greater, and that he had actually fallen in love with her. Tuuli, Karin, Benno... you want to cheer for everyone. But not everyone can be happy. Not everyone can have their love fulfilled. In that sense, Honzuki is quite realistic. However, Lutz is excellent husband material, and we can hope that his kindness and consideration will heal Tuuli's broken heart...... But what about Benno???!!! Death separated him from Liz, and when he finally found another woman politics separated them! He's much more aware than Otto, Gustav, or any other merchant of how the nobles around Rozemyne would react should there be any slipup on his part so I do understand he prioritized secrecy and thus safety above everything else... Still that's just SAD! Will he forever remain a bachelor? Will he find someone in Alexandria?!
    As for Karin I remember from one of the fanbooks she'll have a huge fight with her dad upon her return, go independent, and make her her own store... She's really cool too... :blobpopcorn_cool:
    You also gotta hand it to Sensei.... when in Elvira's romance novels there's spring with blooming flower, and suddenly there's this autumn wind blowing, and protagonists crying, indicating heartbreak and separation. And heartbreak happened for Benno and Tuuli during a time of separations (the merchants leaving and returning to their duchies) with the autumn breeze blowing...
