The section was a bit long, but not too hard. Not much happened, but I still found it interesting. It was nice seeing エサル’s perspective on the whole situation. I also have a bad feeling that the teacher who disagreed with エサル from the beginning is going to leak these events, but I guess we’ll see.

I also got that same impression. But even without him, it seems like an impossible secret to keep. What about when they have to return リラン to the palace? エリン said that she will never allow the 音無笛 or 特滋水 to be used on リラン, but what will she do when リラン has to leave? Surely the palace won’t give up a valuable 王獣 just because someone at the rehabilitation facility became attached to him. Even if the grumpy teacher doesn’t say anything, it seems like through her own convictions Erin will end up revealing the secret herself.

Did they ever say that they return the 王獣 to the palace’s 王獣保護場? I was under the impression that the sick/injured 王獣 just stayed at the current 王獣保護場 until they died, but maybe I’m misremembering or assuming.

I don’t think they ever did, but I had assumed that because he was so young and only had a shoulder wound from the arrow, that he would return. It seems a little weird for them to keep him if he fully recovers. If it was an older 王獣 who was injured, I could understand that, since he would be less useful in battle or as proof of the ヨジェ’s power. I guess if they don’t have to return リラン then that could make things easier for エリン. I can’t see her wanting to leave his side now.

I should probably get to reading so I can follow along with all these spoilers. :upside_down_face:

We now know the secret Arion method to heal and tame 王獣 it’s called love and compassion. Just kidding but one of the teachers was so mad. I now wonder what path the school will choose. Defy the rule and treat the 王獣 differently or stick to the rule and continue not having the best method. Also I’m sure someone will rat on Erin. Some of the children and even the teachers seem angry and biased against her because she comes from Arion.

The ending of this chapter gave me warm fuzzies. :smiling_face_with_three_hearts:

Well you would wonder why the author has gone to all the trouble of introducing us to the palace inhabitants if the star of the show is not going to end up there…

Plus some bonus extra fake spoilery stuff just to intrigue Belerith. :upside_down_face:

My favorite kind of spoiler the one that is not a real spoiler but just a troll. But let me show you how to do it properly.

@Belerith it’s sad that you haven’t caught up because in the book dfffewfewfefpejfpijfpiewjfpewjfewpjfpewjf But the most important part was when wefiewfiewfiewfiewfpiewfpepewf I’m sure you will be as surprise at me about what tabout at the end.

It was worth it. I wanted to give you motivation to read or just wanted to make a joke. One of the two. I supose you finished this week reading then.

Yep. And I see @Kyasurin is also a trolling troll who trolls. I had such faith in you. :cry:

I really enjoyed this weeks reading, even if I read it in segments. (I usually read these in one go unless it’s very political/a history lesson) The breaks just made it so inviting. :smiley:

I definitely think this is going to leak at some point, but I’m somewhat expecting another time skip before that like we had at John’s, to give エリン and リラン time to bond, エリン time to learn more about politics and the importance of the 王獣 and 頭陀. (I think this is the correct kanji but :man_shrugging:)

I’m also really liking エサル more every time she shows up. She’s strict but fair, like the best teachers are. <3 She’d totally like to bond with one of the 王獣, but she’s also really prioritizing her students in her role as headmaster/protector.

I actually added 闘蛇 to my IME on my laptop so I could type it directly, but I don’t know how to do that on my iPhone. :slightly_frowning_face: Typing たたかい (delete い) then へび is annoying.

I don’t remember the steps offhand. I’m sure there’s a guide somewhere online.

Right click on the “A” or “あ” in the taskbar to the right, there’ll be an “Add Word” context menu item. This is the same for Microsoft and Google IMEs.
