So many thanks to the translation team for these bulk updates, I love this series!

I wonder if the reason he loves her is because she was carrying around his ghiosa when she was trying to turn back time and somehow he has memories of all the things she did? Or maybe there was an alternate timeline where they were lovers that only he remembers perhaps because he also turned back time?

Can't wait to find out!

I thought everything in the camp was an illusion created by the knot? Her clothes are fine, so does that mean they can extract items and others' possessions to duplicate them into the real world?

Based on the commentary on the knot appearing mirroring real events, it can be assumed that that was the original timeline but even then... seems exploitable.

It is another case of: "if you remove the male lead, the story becomes much better". That would remove all the silliness that revolves around FL playing dumb and the neverending misunderstanding that is so pointless and omnipresent that it actually hacks the pacing and prevents the story from actually taking flight. Remove all this, as well as 'manly effeminate' Yurien, and story finally starts to be endearing. Because all this get in the way. Bahara is all we need from a storytelling standpoint. All this with Yurien is just a sorry excuse for fan service geared towards middle school girls: when she reappeared, Yurien had to go through the fan-service motions and i am at a point where i start to skip these parts entirely. Admittedly, i am not the target for that, and this means i can't appreciate it at all. But more objectively speaking, this is obviously forced and made for the sole purpose of checking boxes. Even Yurien's chara design is the catchy stereotype of the effeminate male with 'cool' hair colour. Such a lazy and obvious bait... Yurien so far is a 'non-character'. There is nothing that defines him, beyond being the 'male lead love interest', and the 'cool guy, that has to be cooler than any other cool guy ever'.

No need to try and dig too deep what is no more than a shallow puddle. It is just the author that does whatever is convenient at a given time. Author needed an excuse for FL to get out of the knot looking like nothing happened, and it was impossible to have her bring an actual change of clothes to the battlefield. Hence author used the knot concept. Said that monsters and everything weren't real, but whatever needs to be real for plot convenience will become instantly real.
