3 x 5 hats

[footnote]

Judging by the hat for this volume, we might get to know more about Ininia’s master this time.

Chapter 82

Yup, whenever things are looking up, and a character says something to the effect of “we’re almost there”, you know there’s going to be a dramatic twist

Chapter 82

The endless night continues but dawn is finally appearing…?

That was a fun chapter to kick off this volume with. Children applying things from their past learning in new ways that surprise the adults, water dragons, clever new applications of magic, hiding in an ice bubble.

It doesn’t feel like this manga is going to kill off any of the main 4 girls but we will see, Agata in a tricky spot there…

I don’t think we have ever seen anyone die in this series (not sure if the gold statues melting count), so I would say she is safe. Besides, they now have the “time reverse medbay” to treat even the gravest of wounds.

[fyrember]

Yeah I feel like this is how they will get rid of Koko’s scar. It will be hell to have to animate that consistently for long in the anime eventually

Actually, I doubt they will. Unless I misunderstood how the device is supposed to work, it just resets the subject back the selected amount of time, which includes their memories, and I don’t think that is something that Koko would agree with, losing everything she has experienced since.

Besides, it is probably just a bruise and not a permanent scar. I mean, she only wore those bandages like an hour of in-universe time, and that is all that is left after being struck by high-velocity magic. So nothing that a good night’s sleep won’t cure

Chapter 83

Ding dong the wicked witch is dead! We finally get to move onto a different plot point. Now I’m interested to see if the brimmed hats manage to get access to the king like they wanted. The brimmed hat girl is hanging out with the dude with the wiped memory, and Kustas doesn’t seem to be on their side anymore, so maybe not.

[Micki]

Chapter 83

I don’t know if I can quite believe it yet! Can’t help feeling like the dust will clear and the thing will bounce back to life again! I think we’ve been battling this thing since about the start of July in our reading group timeline.

If it is defeated - I wonder if that poor guy in the prison cell who got bitten in the first place will be restored to normal?

Like you say, there are plenty of other plot points still to play out from this night, defeating the leech was only one! In particular what is going on with the brimhats original plan…?

Oh man, if they pull a “Wait, it’s not dead!” here, I’m not going to be happy

Summary

@aamunoz

Oh man, if they pull a “Wait, it’s not dead!” here, I’m not going to be happy

Ok, I didn’t need to worry about whether the leech was really destroyed. This guy finished him off swiftly.

Had almost forgotten about the prisoner who was bitten by the leech originally! He makes a brief and annoying appearance and also quickly dispatches.

Funny how the machine reverses not just the leech’s time, but also undoes some of the damage done by the leech. This could have some really interesting implications for what magic could achieve. Also potentially could be some complex rules about how such magic could work.

So finally we can move on with other plot lines. What will be Ininia’s next move? And what about the king?

Seems he only sealed both of them in some kind of force field in close proximity for convenient potential for shenanigans if left unsupervised

On a different note, does anyone have an idea what’s going on in this panel? At first, I thought the king threw his jacket (and gloves? note the “hand”) onto the floor, but in the preceding panels, he’s already not wearing/carrying any.

[Akashelia]

Not sure! It kind of looks like to me like he is throwing a person on the floor, that was blocking his way through the door?
Also I think people are celebrating but the person on the left could also be looking angry…

That would be quite harsh. I did not peg the king as prone to such outbursts…

Oh well, maybe the next chapter(s) will bring some revelation. If not, I’ll just file it under “continuity goof”

Chapter 85

Okay, this was a good chapter. I was worried they were going to drag out the reveal of what’s happening to Kustas too much, given how long things have taken to get here. But the reveal was very dramatic. It’s very hard not to read ahead!

This tree seems like bad news! I feel like this is basic knowledge we should have already. This certainly puts things in a new light. I remember the wonder Coco (and I) had at seeing the tree at the magic shop early in the series. Hopefully that was grown from an animal and not a person!

The idea that it may work with animals too popped into my head as I was writing this. So, I guess it’s not necessarily an ethical disaster that these trees exist and are used to create magic ink. But I bet there are more than a few of them grown from people like this one.

Man, Kustas and Dagda just cannot catch a break It’s kind of getting to the point where it’s hard to invest in them emotionally as characters since we know they’re just going to get tragedy dumped on top of them by the story. And yet! Dagda asking ルルシぃ (no idea how to romanize that) to make Kustas her apprentice still hit me in the feels.

This is a great new plot point. Now, just don’t take several volumes to resolve it!
