This week’s stopping point is after the montage at the lake.
Side Quests and Missable Content
If you head to the 湖畔 and are careful to say you’ve still got stuff to do, there’s a surprise character you can have for this section. (It’s ~ケビン~, if you want to know before going there.)
Two new sidequests on the board, and a hidden one. Now. These quests claim to be 長 on the board, but these are LIES. They (all) expire once you’ve checked in at the 湖畔.
-
遠い日の記憶 - you will need to go into your inventory to use the item for each person you want to ask. There are a lot of people around town who have something to say, so even if you think you might know the answer it could be fun to investigate anyway.
-
商人の護衛 - it’s not enough to get her there uninjured, she wants you to avoid battles altogether
-
廃坑の掃討戦[/spoiler] - found by [spoiler]going to the mine and talking to the people out front
There are two hidden books available. One in ラヴぇンヌ村, talk to ルゥイ. The other in ハーケン門, talk to i forgot to grab his name 
but he’s outside.
And if you want a fancy fishing rod, first talk to クワノ at the lake and then backtrap to ボース, first house on your left (opposite the shops), talk to セシル.

Discussion Guidelines
Everybody should feel free to post and ask questions–it’s what makes book clubs fun! But please do not post until you are familiar with Spoiler Courtesy!
Spoiler Courtesy
Please follow these rules to avoid inadvertent ネタバレ. If you’re unsure whether something should have a spoiler tag, err on the side of using one.
- Any potential spoiler for the current week’s reading need only be covered by a spoiler tag. Predictions and conjecture made by somebody who has not read ahead still falls into this category.
- Any potential spoilers for external sources need to be covered by a spoiler tag and include a label (outside of the spoiler tag) of what might be spoiled. These include but are not limited to: other book club picks, other books, games, movies, anime, etc. I recommend also tagging the severity of the spoiler (for example, I may still look at minor spoilers for something that I don’t intend to read soon).
- Any information from later in the book than the current week’s reading (including trigger warnings that haven’t yet manifested) needs to be hidden by spoiler tags and labeled as coming from later sections.
Instructions for Spoiler Tags
Click the cog above the text box and use either the “Hide Details” or “Blur Spoiler” options. The text which says “This text will be hidden” should be replaced with what you are wishing to write. In the case of “Hide Details”, the section in the brackets that is labelled “Summary” can be replaced with whatever you like also (i.e, [details=”Chapter 1, Pg. 1”]).
Hide Details results in the dropdown box like below:
Example
This is an example of the “Hide Details” option.
The “Blur Spoiler” option will simply blur the text it surrounds.

Posting Advice
-
When asking for help, please mention the page number, and check before posting that your question hasn’t already been asked. As the threads get longer, it becomes more convenient to use the Search function, which is located in the upper right corner of the forum. It is the magnifying glass which is near your profile picture! The best way to search is usually to type part of the sentence you are confused about, and select “in this topic”. This will show you all posts within the current thread which has that string of text.

Be sure to join the conversation! It’s fun, and it’s what keeps these book clubs lively! There’s no such thing as a stupid question! We are all learning here, and if the question has crossed your mind, there’s a very good chance it has crossed somebody else’s also! Asking and answering questions is a great learning opportunity for everyone involved, so never hesitate to do so!
Example
For the Kindle version of this manga, the page numbers and the location number are always 3 apart. If you subtract 3 from the location, this will give you the accurate page number!
OR
Please use the chapter page numbers, instead of the volume page numbers. These are located in between the panels!

I’m not at all sensitive to stuff like this, it’s whatever, just was thinking wow they’re really going for it with Olivier’s jokes and even others joining in.
