1: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)12:11Yeahx3

Finally, the second part is over…

13: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)12:55

>>1Is the side story only done in the comic?
I wonder which one to draw.

2: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)12:32Yeahx5

When I read through everything, I can’t help but empathize with the high priest.

5: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)12:41Yeahx1

>>2You’re giving Gunther and Mine a really intense look, though.
If you’re trying to understand the true meaning behind this eye only through the manga, you’ll have to wait for the end of the fifth part of the comic adaptation…

3: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)12:39Yeahx9

The high priest has been dragging this on since that time…

4: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)12:41Yeahx3

Every time I see this area’s story, I end up crying…
I couldn’t even properly watch anime.

6: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)12:43

In just about seven years after that, we created an environment where we could properly meet…
It’s nice that the end of rebellion is a space where you can be with family.

7: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)12:47

>>6Please provide the Japanese text you would like translated to English.

8: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)12:53

The high priest can get rid of the annoying boss and on top of that acquire a promising young girl—what a windfall!

10: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)12:54Yeahx6

>>8If he were that much of a materialist, he might have been able to live more happily…

9: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)12:54

Even though it’s a tale of rebellion, I endure daily troubles caused by those in higher positions of power.
Even if I become the embodiment of a goddess, I can’t find peace!

20: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)13:04

>>9As the level of power increases, the level of absurdity also rises…
As for God, being such a higher existence that human logic doesn’t even apply is just too chaotic.

11: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)12:55

Well, even if you become a noble, you will still face dangerous situations all the time.

12: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)12:55Yeahx6

No matter how many times I see this scene, I cry uncontrollably, so it’s no good.
As expected, I cried in the comic adaptation too.

14: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)12:57

An event that causes Darmel to be unable to marry a low-ranking noble.

15: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)13:01Yeahx2

A tearful farewell scene with family.
What kind of emotions is the high priest looking at?

16: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)13:02

>>15I can’t believe this person can watch this scene without shedding a single tear; their heart must really be made of iron.

17: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)13:03

Chanting doesn’t matter.
I want to be blessed.
Hey!

18: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)13:04

A man who will interact with me for a while driven only by feelings of self-blame, guilt, and a desire for atonement.
It’s Mine who takes away the poisonous atmosphere or serious vibe around here.

19: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)13:04Yeahx2

If this mine didn’t have strong magical power, would I have seriously disposed of my entire family…?

21: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)13:05Yeahx6

>>19In the first place, if you don’t get involved and your magical power isn’t strong, you would have died from the body-eating before making the paper.

26: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)13:08

>>21Because the magical power is strong, it begins to devour itself.
If my magic power were weak, I feel like Reiko’s soul wouldn’t awaken and she would just be living as a regular poor person.
If your magical power is only moderately high, you will explode at some point.

30: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)13:10Yeahx3

>>26That’s not it.
The increase in magical power is simply due to those who can suppress their magical power with mental strength that can withstand even being devoured, and the devoured ones themselves are not particularly special as they are born from commoners with magical power.

44: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)13:21

>>30?
Was it explained like that somewhere?
Even nobles need expensive magical tools while they are young, and after using blessings and other things at key points, they end up being suppressed by a one-line inherited method of magical power compression.
In the case of the body-eating type, I don’t know how to use it or how to compress it, so it turns into a bomb, and the stronger the magical power, the faster it explodes, that’s my understanding.
Commoners do not leave magic stones when they die, so they have little to no magic power. The flesh-eating beings vary in magic power from below that of low-ranking nobles to above, and the main character, due to a tendency to explode at a young age, had higher magic power. Thanks to managing to compress it beautifully with a strong mindset, they became a monster-class being.
It may have strayed from the topic a bit, but isn’t it correct to recognize that a body-eater with a heat warning for an explosion has strong magical power?

22: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)13:05

>>19Because I’m a commoner, right?

24: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)13:06

>>19Of course.
Well, if the magical power wasn’t strong, this event wouldn’t have happened in the first place, and Jurgen Schmidt would have been destroyed altogether.
I wonder what will happen to the powerless commoners if Jurgen Schmidt falls.
Will I be left alone on the white sand?
Or will it blow up together with the country’s disappearance and all that?

23: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)13:06

That’s what a ruler is like.

25: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)13:07

I survived because there was value in living for the mine.
If they have no value, nobles wouldn’t be troubled even if commoners died.
Even Ferdinand had given up until he realized that the pretense of being the lord’s daughter-in-law was established.

27: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)13:09

I want to see Jurgen Schmidt from the route where Mein was executed like this~

28: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)13:09

Everything is set up to corner Mine, so hypotheticals don’t mean anything.
In such a setting, the story fundamentally cannot exist.

29: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)13:09

When will the comic adaptations of Part 3 and Part 4 end?

31: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)13:10Yeahx2

I can’t laugh because a few months after such an emotional farewell, I was dragged around by the lord’s brat and died instantly.

34: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)13:13

>>31I was shocked to hear that that bastard son got better in the manga adaptation, but will ultimately end up being useless.

38: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)13:17Yeahx1

>>34The sad reality for Vil, who still cannot get married…

40: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)13:19

>>34It’s not that I’m going to go bad, but even if I’m corrected, those around me try to sway me toward a bad direction, so I’m teetering on the edge.

49: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)13:22

>>40The position of nobility can change depending on the people around them, it’s an icon, isn’t it?
Even Rozema managed to become a winning horse, but it was quite a close call.

52: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)13:25

>>49If it gets out that I’m just a commoner and not even of the Reizegang bloodline, Boni-chan might really get mad.

32: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)13:10

I never thought the ending would turn out like that.

33: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)13:12

The number of branching paths heading towards a bad end in your world is too many for each country.

35: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)13:13

I feel like I don’t really recognize one of the attendants, but could it be?

36: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)13:14Yeahx1

The cost of illustrating the House of Lords in Part 4 is abnormally heavy due to the number of people, uniforms, backgrounds, and various other elements.
I can’t say anything about the slow posting tempo.

37: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)13:14

Even though parasitism can occur among nobles, research does not progress on such cases because they are not raised as nobles.

39: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)13:18

No, the publishing pace for part 4 is really good, right?
It gets published almost every month except when there is a work on a standalone book.

41: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)13:19

I’m really glad that I didn’t have to erase the entire family here.

42: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)13:20

The high priest who had his brain burned here.

43: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)13:20Yeahx1

Does the author have some kind of grudge against the eldest son?

45: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)13:22Yeahx2

If a commoner learns the secrets of the territory but promises to stay silent, they can go home as they are.
An unbelievably generous measure; it’s either a wise ruler or a tyrant.

46: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)13:22

Brother Vil is surrounded by hostile factions, and he is easily influenced by them, which causes him to often succumb due to his weak will…

47: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)13:22

The nobility in this world also puts in a lot of effort at the top level.
The lapped Vil could not grow to the point of standing out there.

48: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)13:22

The high priest worries that if he gets burned here, he will end up like Mine’s father…!

50: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)13:24

>>48Thus, for Mine, the Demon King who resolves everything with strategy, cunning, and violence…

51: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)13:24Yeahx2

Even Jill, who hardly had any interaction here, is taking some damage.
Well, they are a person who initially has quite a bit of affection, so they’re not really suited to being a lord.

53: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)13:25

Regarding Vil, while there are some pitiable aspects, there are also many that he brought upon himself, so it’s not surprising.

54: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)13:25Yeahx3

I do think that Jill is actually more of a tyrant.

60: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)13:28Yeahx2

>>54They look good and usually have a pleasant attitude, but…
Both the education of children and the work as a lord are terrible, so as a lord gacha…

62: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)13:29Yeahx2

>>54Isn’t it almost certain that they are an ineffective ruler?
It’s probably because of that old lady who came from Arensburg.
It was noisy and I didn’t care, but when I jumped into love, it somehow worked out with a miraculous balance.

55: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)13:25

Viru was fine until the Ditta event, but after getting involved with Risegang, it’s really just…
The part about Raizegang isn’t very popular, is it?

56: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)13:26

Wilfried doesn’t seem to be making significant progress even in Hannelore.
I think it’s enough to live my life reasonably.

57: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)13:26Yeahx1

The lord’s family had a disposition so suited for commoners that it would have been better if they had been born into a commoner’s household.
The love for family is so deep that I can’t fit into aristocratic society.

58: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)13:27

If it weren’t for the tyrant, there’s no way I couldn’t stop my mother’s rampage until the territory is in shambles!
That being said, Lady Jill’s intuition is amazing! It wasn’t passed down to Lord Vil, though.

59: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)13:28

If they weren’t concerned about future matters, there would have been no reason for them to give up on Vil and support Charlotte instead when the thread image was poisoned and they were sleeping.

61: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)13:28Yeahx2

Sylvester is relatively explicit.
The character doesn’t have the talent of a lord, but they never fail due to luck correction… It’s also a story about how terrifying the protection of the gods is because it’s too powerful.

66: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)13:31

>>61I prayed desperately during my student days…
I wish that luck had poured down on my eldest son as well.
It may be because of that result pouring down.

70: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)13:32Yeahx1

>>66If even one of the various complex factors is missing, it’s only natural to be doing batteries in the tower, so it’s pouring down heavily.

63: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)13:29Yeahx2

(There is such beautiful family love in this world…)
(There is such beautiful family love in this world...)

68: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)13:31Yeahx1

>>63It looks like they’re in a bad mood, but in reality, it’s a face unable to look directly because it’s too bright.

72: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)13:32

>>63Even while thinking such things, not a single tear falls.

76: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)13:33

>>72Well, that’s because it’s noble…
It’s immature to show emotions on the outside…

64: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)13:30

I think both Jill and Ville have a mindset that is just right for a status similar to Geebe.
Not suited for aube.

67: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)13:31

Since mid to lower rank Aubs almost don’t appear, I don’t know how they compare to others…

74: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)13:33

>>67It seems like I was constantly getting taken down by the major territories, and I’ve also directly been scolded about how things are going in your territory, so I don’t think it’s going well…

85: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)13:36

>>74In this regard, it is quite clear that it is a small territory that’s just large in size, specifically Ehrenfest.

69: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)13:32

Well, to be honest, I also think the love of the Main family is abnormal.

75: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)13:33Yeahx1

>>69Günther’s presence is significant.

80: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)13:35Yeahx1

>>75The son of a craftsman becomes a knight! Just changing professions seems quite amazing, but it’s filled with so much love, it’s incredible.

71: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)13:32

Do not continue to burn the High Priest’s brain.

73: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)13:33

The high priest was helping with both the front and back of the lord’s work.
They throw work at me without hesitation, acting like I can handle it even though it’s too much hard work.

77: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)13:34

Anon likes Iguuchi-kun a little too much, don’t you think?

82: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)13:36Yeahx1

>>77I like it, but it’s not really about I-guchi-kun.

87: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)13:38

>>77It would have been fine to stay as Sawashiro Mine.

78: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)13:34

It was in a recent special SS, but it seems that if the eldest son of an upper-class noble messes up, it’s accepted that it’s inevitable for them to face punishment…
It’s understandable to have complaints if the disposal is not done forever.

79: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)13:35

I guess the only one that had some depiction, at least, was the Frebel Talk.
Well, considering the standards of Florentia, I don’t think he seems worse than Giroud.

84: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)13:36

>>79I think it’s excellent how they quickly change the handling of the temple and smoothly receive benefits.

81: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)13:36

It’s sad that even though I love you this much, you’re not really you… Huh? Isn’t this a takeover of Mine? Seriously!? It’s unbelievable, right?

83: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)13:36

The high priest was secretly very envious of Lutz’s parent-child quarrel.

93: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)13:40

>>83It’s a great concept with the chief priest being jealous of Lutz, who has neither money nor power.

100: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)13:42

>>93It was surprising to find out that Lutz was the greatest rival of the last high priest.
Moreover, it seems like they were even considering opponents that they absolutely can’t win against…

105: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)13:43Yeahx1

>>100Because when my memories were sealed, I was still there, but when I found out that only my family and Lutz were sealed…
But isn’t this goddess being manipulated a bit?

110: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)13:46

>>105Isn’t it because the High Priest’s memory was called upon while channeling magic power?

113: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)13:47

>>105It was designed so that if you used magical power, your memories would be restored.
So I was panicking about what to do for the commoners.

86: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)13:37

The lord’s excessiveness is not good.

88: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)13:38

>>86If you’re not free-spirited, you won’t be able to master Rosema…

98: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)13:41

>>86(A lord who, for some reason, enjoys hunting alongside commoners in a world where it’s easy to be rudely attacked.)

89: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)13:38Yeahx1

Since Sawashiro Mine seems to have a bit of high intelligence.

95: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)13:40

>>89I feel like it’s just right after Part 1 and binding.
2 to 4 is, well… smart… uhn…

90: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)13:39

In reality, Ehrenfest has a border or rather a gate to another world, and there is a lot of potential for growth in the future.
The central area is adjacent to the territories! It seems like the small territories that used to be like that are going to become quite hellish.

91: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)13:39Yeahx2

I preferred Junichi Suwabe as the high priest. 😡

101: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)13:42

>>91Author’s response

92: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)13:39Yeahx4

Performing family love dramas repeatedly in front of the chief priest, repeatedly burning the chief priest’s brain…!

96: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)13:40

>>92And the killer phrase that is served as family-like.

94: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)13:40

Well, if it weren’t for Jill’s solo performance, everything would have ended a little while ago.
Looking back, what was I thinking when I handed over that necklace?

106: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)13:44

>>94I don’t think Jill has thought about that much.
I think so, but the parts that come in the second half are really cool.
That transition is bad because adult things will be exposed.

97: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)13:41

In Ehrenfest, a candidate who shouldn’t have been chosen in terms of ability has become the lord for three generations in a row.

99: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)13:41

The high priest seems to get really excited, even if they don’t show it, especially when invited to Main’s house.

103: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)13:42

>>99When I was standing at the entrance, I think I was still wondering if it was okay for me to come in here…

102: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)13:42Yeahx2

Wasn’t Ehrenfest just in a middle position due to the political upheaval, while in reality it remained a lower-ranked territory?

104: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)13:43

Hayamin’s voice is a bit too aged and leans towards sounding like an old man…
No matter how much of a high priest you are, you’re not that aged…

108: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)13:44

>>104So Hayamin is that way…

107: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)13:44Yeahx1

I bet the High Priest was super happy when Gunter ruffled his hair and then told him to go bring the alcohol next.

109: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)13:45Yeahx1

I’m glad you became happy, Main! Rather, I’m glad the priest’s family was formed!

111: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)13:46

It’s not that it was left over; it was just right in front of me when I woke up, so I remembered it immediately!

112: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)13:47

Well, expecting a maiden’s heart from Lady Rozemyne…
She’s a woman who doesn’t understand the feeling of a blue anpha fluttering.

115: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)13:48Yeahx2

>>112Regarding that, it’s something that makes readers’ eyes glide over…

118: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)13:50

>>112What kind of training is the high priest providing, I wonder?

114: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)13:48

I wonder what will happen with the side story.

116: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)13:49

Even fifth graders find reading romantic descriptions quite tough at times.

117: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)13:50

The chief priest seemed to be mentioned in the original work as having an unusually deep voice, though it’s hard to say for sure.

119: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)13:50

I want to read it again after a long time.
Shall I read?
From Part 1

120: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)13:50Yeahx2

Even after reading the entire series and understanding the myths to some extent, I still can’t empathize with the conversation between Muriela and Ryuururadi at all.

122: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)13:54

>>120Darmel is trying to understand, but he can’t stop Philine…

121: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)13:53

I don’t really care, but when I was reading the original work, the high priest had an impression of short hair and glasses, which I overlooked in the descriptions.
