Based on this post and the fact that the penultimate week has 15 pages while the very last week is just 7 pages (the ここまでの登場人物 has way less text density), should we perhaps combine those two weeks together? 
That would allow for the IBC to start the next poll quicker too. What do you guys think?

I’d be fine with that or keeping it the same. I think a few of us are quite comfortable with the pace/reading ahead, but I also saw a few are a bit behind from last week’s poll, and I wouldn’t want anyone to feel pressured to have to read faster

Agreed on all points.
(And I want to note that I can only read this fast because I read digitally, with mouse-over lookups and added furigana.)

I’m planning to catch up with this club during the spring readathon that’s coming up this week, so hopefully I can manage reading 22 pages at that point, but I’ll always be happy to take it slow ahaa

I am slowly catching up to the group and I hope I will get there this week…If everyone prefers the last two weeks combined, I don’t want to hold up the group!

Seems like we don’t want to change the schedule. Then we keep it as is 
This week we read the first half of chapter 7

My library hold finally came in, so time for catch up! (And then reading ahead since I have to return it in 2 weeks… 
) I’m excited to see what the hype is all about.

Btw, the Bookwalker version came with a bonus short story. It’s very short (only 5 pages), and I just peeked at it and it seems to be a spoiler-free scene from Louis’ POV that takes place in the beginning, probably during chapter 2. Does anyone else have this and got any interest in reading it together?

What’s its title? I don’t think I got it in my digital Amazon version.
The story is called ルイスミラーの無罪主張. But don’t worry if you don’t have it. I just read it and imo you don’t miss much.

If it’s there, it’s not in the table of contents.
Spoil me, please, to assuage my completionist tendencies.

ルイスミラーの無罪主張 short story summary
The bulk of this story is just one scene that’s straight out of the shounen manga/anime/LN “humor” scene 101 handbook. Louis summons Monica to his study to drill her on classical literature to prepare her for Selendia Academy, but Lin serves her strong liquor and she gets sleepy and starts to take her clothes off, and of course his wife walks in and gets the wrong impression.
There are some teensy bit of character and world building info, in that we learn a bit about what kinds of subjects are considered important at Selendia, and Louis really seems to care about preparing Monica for her role, but she sucks at all the “noblewoman soft skills” stuff, but really, it’s nothing you couldn’t have guessed after reading chapter 2 of the main story.

I’m glad I’ll never have to read that. Thanks!

I would remove the final week from the schedule. ここまでの登場人物 is just a few short descriptions of characters we’re already seen and most people don’t read the あとがき. It doesn’t seem worth having its own week for.
