彼は寒がりではないが、寒いのが嫌いだ。
Fair enough 
「そうね、回転しながら地面に激突する勢いで降ってきた時の驚きに比べれば、可愛いものだわ」
She definitely didn’t lose any spunk while being there. Good to see her again!
I’m very curious why Louis needed to suddenly see her though. Maybe something happened in her home country and… he needs information, or something?
「『竜騎士団怖い。知らない人がたくさんで怖い』……あの娘は黒竜なんて、これっぽっちも恐れていなかったのです。七賢人〈沈黙の魔女〉が恐れていたのは、討伐についてきた竜騎士団──人間の方だったのですよ」
Yep, that’s our Monica, alright
元々酷い対人恐怖症だったが、モニカの場合、特に大柄で声の大きい男性が苦手らしい。そして、竜騎士団というのは、そういう人間の集まりだ。モニカの恐怖心はピークに達していたのだろう。
“We need a special knight commando to ward against the two strongest creatures in the kingdom: Black dragons… and Monica, if she ever goes rogue.”
「貴女に同行して、ウォーガン山脈に入る竜騎士団の団員リストを作っておきました。これを頭に叩き込んで……」
「いらない、です」
“The dragon is already dead. I killed it from here so I don’t have to attend more meetings.”
Glad we got to see Casey again! And it’s good to see that she still considers Monica as a normal girl and a friend, considering that she wants Louis to get a message to her. (I hope that Casey will play a role in future volumes too!)
And whew, Louis’ view of Monica is pretty grim. I suppose she hasn’t given him much to work with yet, considering that they met at the height of her reclusiveness, and it’s only been very recently that she’s slowly getting better.
From the character portraits:
旧姓はレイン。工ヴァしットは養母の姓。
Huh. Monica has a foster mother, apparently? Have we heard of her at all so far?
And that’s it for this volume. We didn’t get any new characters as impactful as Casey this time, but I liked both the chess tournament and the harvest festival arcs, and Monica got a lot out of this volume. I’m especially glad she got over Bernie!
And now it’s finally time for me to finish the anime 
Haha yeah I wouldn’t be surprised if she snuck out at night to do that just to be able to go back home faster.
Nothing specific yet, I don’t think. She was mentioned in passing
…モニカには二人だけ、自分が七賢人になったことを報告したい人物がいた。一人は養母。…
That’s actually a tricky point that I think is often glanced over in these narou novels. As a king, what the hell do you do when your kingdom spawns a child that could single-handedly wipe out your whole army, the kingdom and potentially the world if so inclined.. Teenage girls are not exactly a recipe for stability.
