New volume, new ウォーミ様:

Speculation regarding the cover

So far it seems that the character featured on the cover gets more exposure in the volume, I hope that it means we’ll get some Tetia-centric chapters. She hasn’t done much lately.

Just noticed something else that is different for every book + seems to be correlated to the story

Edgy!

“I’m not trapped here with you, you’re trapped here with me” – K-dog, before morbing everybody

I think they used the wrong kanji here:

p29

I think it’s supposed to be 均衡.

Agreed! It was wrong in my edition too (bookwalker), noticed it too (since I learned it not that long ago, it being taught on WK at level 57)

ch24

Very dark chapter!

I give up on understanding those shape shifting cloaks. Why would the statues see them as フデムシ? I guess that’s also how they saw Alila at first but then they said it was a mirror thing. No idea. I do like the comedic potential of the statues being unsuspicious of two giant fluffy worms running around the dungeon.

I thought the answer to the riddle was 死. I don’t think I was wrong, all things considered.

I have been chronically 3 chapters behind for weeks and just finally got caught up this weekend!

Glad Simias posted new wormie on the cover, eating little sunflower seeds so cute.

(I don’t really post on content since I am up to date with English release so I don’t want to spoil anything though).

The cloaks reflect the creature they are near. Explanation from vol.4: “影借りの鏡外套
まとっている間目の前にいる獣の姿の幻を見せてくれる魔法器さ”

I thought the answer was 人生 :sweat_smile:

Nice catch, I didn’t notice wormiesama in that cell! But then why do the wizards still see each other as humans except for that one instance at the start with Alila?

I still think that it doesn’t add up.

An artistic choice, perhaps? It might be difficult to tell who’s who otherwise.

Yeah that’s probably the most coherent explanation.

Chapter 24

Poor Koco! All she was trying to do was help the statue people and she wiped out the entire population!!

Maybe wearing the cloak cancels out the effect of other cloaks on you?

I was team 命

Thanks for this! Saved me probably at least 5-10 minutes. :sweat_smile:

Reply to @MaraVos

I think she did help them though, but doesn’t realise it. Hence the ありがとう. They’d been forced to live in eternity without relief, and she inadvertently gave them that.

7 Likes

Yeah, I think she just probably won’t be able to understand that for a long time. But even so I think she’d have done anything she could to help them by making them be able to live rather than able to die. (Albeit in a delicious warm golden sauna, which is probably the best way to go, to be fair.)

I will be offline for the next two weeks (a bit more) so I won’t be posting for chapter 26 & 27, but please read on schedule as usual :slight_smile: (and if someone wants to make the posts you are welcome!)

I can probably post them, but may not manage to do so with images. So happy if someone else is more tech-savvy. Or I could learn.

Edit: silly question but do you just take a screenshot of the page? I can do that.

5 Likes

Yes, if you are on digital edition you can just screenshot the page and crop it to the bit of the picture you want.

You are obviously an outlier tech wise, it feels sometimes like most people here seem to write computer programs in their spare time!

Aside - I came across the kanji for とんがり this week in another book - it’s 尖り. It’s such a cool kanji - big at the bottom and small at the top - pointy!
