this week spoiler

not much happening this week. The sewing chapter was hard to understand. Had to get google picture help to understand what technique they were using in sewing.
Myne is still talking too much. Spoiling all the recipe’s secrets. On another note, I love Beno’s technique of lowering price during snowstorm. He is right that when some people are bored they just spend more easily.

~まい is a way to say “〜ないだろう”
→ じゃないだろう
(And then just the regular し to give a reason)

I would read 丈 as たけ, but I’m not 100% sure.

Rather than Pope, I’d say bishop, since he is only in charge of the fiefdom. Also he thinks she is from a rich family, not a noble. She cannot be a noble if she is there.

Or, if you’re reading 氷菓, not common but constant.
