Wee! I made it just on time! For those wondering it took me 48 minutes to catch up 👀 ---

For all three parts or just this one? ---

That’s what I want to know! xD For all 3 parts that’d be a page a minute (accounting for the half pages), which is… pretty impressive. 😃 And would also explain the 50-100 pages @Naphthalene reads in a day. ---

For two parts plus one page at the time of posting. You know, since that meant I was “reading along”. I took ~20 min for the third part alone (hard to say exactly since I did spend an unknown amount of time on the forum in between). > [@Belerith](#): > > For all 3 parts that’d be a page a minute (accounting for the half pages That sounds close to my current reading speed? Although it’s probably more 1.5 min per page. I have seen some crazy improvements since I started my 多読 thread last year 🙂 ---

What, an actual question posted in the weekly discussion thread? 😮 > **Question around 12-13%** > > （お母さんは、きっと…） > > 祖父のように、闘蛇を大アル公ハンのために育てていたのではない。そんな気持ちで育てていたのなら、音無し笛や特滋水を使うことを、厭いとわしく思いはしなかっただろう。 > > * * * > > I’m getting thrown off by the negations here. Take 祖父のように、闘蛇を大アル公ハンのために育てていたのではない for example. Is this saying that unlike the grandfather, the mother didn’t raise the 闘蛇 for the sake of the アルハン? And if she did feel that way (raising them for the sake of the アルハン) she probably wouldn’t have felt so negatively towards using the 音無し笛 and 特滋水? ---

Yup exactly what you said. (Unfortunately, a boring answer. Or fortunately!) ---

Nah, it’s okay, I still appreciate the answer. I was really confused when I started writing the question, but I was more confident in my understanding by the time I finished. ---

I was bad this week and just finished reading so I missed the read-aloud. And there were so many readings I wanted to find out about too… ☹ The chapter was interesting. As someone already said, it doesn’t seem like having a whole school know is a great method for keeping secrets, but oh well. It seems it’s just a matter of how long it will take to leak at this point. You got me with the fake spoilers. ---

I just finished this part. Strangely the whole section with エサル explaining what happened to the teachers hooked me and I ended up staying up late reading most that in one go where I would usually start falling asleep after a couple of minutes. I really liked how this section ended but I have a feeling that it might be one of エリン’s last nice scenes for a while… 😰 ---

Very late (sorry!) but I still got a question. > **14% (on the last page or so)** > > なにか腹に一物ある、怖い人だと思っていたエサルの顔に、。。。 > > 1. Does this mean “In the face of Esaru, who thought that it is a frightening person who has some hidden agenda, …”? I’m a bit confused because the current narrator is Erin, so how would she know for sure what Esaru is thinking? > 2. Who is this frightening person? We have not heard about other persons for some time at this point… The only person I could imagine here from the context is Aruhan?? > > Thanks for any insights! ---
