A nice short chapter this week; I liked the look at how some of her monster disposal tasks aren’t much to worry about, haha.

I’m enjoying the interludes, too, seeing how クーシュナ and フェリ met.

For me the actual chapter felt like a comedic interlude.

They may not be much to worry about, but so far she did nothing herself. It’s クーシュナ who does all the work.

But I like his character, he is not aggressive, he just wants to be left in peace (third interlude). But I think his boredom and inquisitiveness will lead him to finally talk with フェリ.

Btw: フェリ sounds a bit like フェアリー, which fits her looks.

Yes, but personally I don’t mind that. She seems to genuinely care about all these mythical creatures, so I can understand why they would help her. Though I wonder what she would do if she is ever in a situation where she can’t rely on クーシュナ.

I’m not sure how I feel about the “throwing eggs to celebrate” bit. At first it took me out of the story because it felt unnatural and over the top, but now that I think about the kind of ridiculous festivals we have in our world I suppose it is not that unrealistic. It’s still a waste of food.
