Shinju no Nectar - Ch. 100 - Divine Curse, Divine Blessing

[Powerless]

Suzuri is so assertive here.

my kind of woman

 

[DarkeLourd]

Isn't it swell when someone thinks that burning hundreds, maybe thousands, of years of history is preferable to their little petty squabble being their loss?

I mean if the only person that can read it is an enemy and you're a psychopath whose only goal is personal power and/or enrichment, then yeah there really isn't a good reason to keep it around.

"If there's a chance, surely it rests with the girl who can read the ancient dragon script in the library!"

[Jadeite_McSwag]

They're gonna keep baiting us with him finally meeting Sakura, despite being so close, huh? Lmao. If she just added the word "Adaari" when talking about the girl who can read the texts, that would've been it.

Glad to see best character Victorius is still reading his mystery novels

 

[homogenized]

Wanna throw a wild guess out here:

They won't find the Jade Seal because there isn't one. Not right now, because it's not the Jade Seal, but a jade seal, the last one was destroyed because they're meant to be replaced, they were nothing more than a fancy way to stamp a mark of the emperor's authority. So all they need to do is make a new one.

so... im taking odds on dhala girl having ambrosia despite the fact that dhala is trying to kill all magic.

I thinking same way, strongest next ambrosia holder is first queen kai arc ending sharing with next emperor/current crown prince imagine drinking same source with emperor Huang lia

 

[Lunasol]

curious to know who the traitor or mastermind behind library burning is reaching 100 chapters with new problems

thank you for translating

Not the Library of Alexandria incident!!!

 

[Phaaze]

Well, Monroe is the current cover girl, so odds are very good.

Right? Almost* all the volume cover girls are spirit carriers.
[I don't remember the volume 2 girl.]

Looking back through this chapter, that's funny that Dhala man is commenting about how the days of invasion were over years ago in Albion, and saying it's a good thing, and talking about colonies having independence. It wasn't that long ago chronologically where Dhala completely took and overthrew Sakura's country, and tried to invade the dwarf country?

Even last chapter or so Monroe pointed out the country falling into disarray would be in Dhala's interests lol.

But I guess China is such a big deal that it falling would spark a huge world war like they say in this chapter? Still odd that Victorius seemingly wants to pursue the preservation option, when we saw in the Sinchar arc he says he has to pursue Dhala's interests above everything. Wonder what his leader would think about his choice lmao

 

[Invisobill]

Suzuri is absolutely the best wife.

Still odd that Victorius seemingly wants to pursue the preservation option, when we saw in the Sinchar arc he says he has to pursue Dhala's interests above everything.

The way the ambassadors discussed the situation previously, and comparing it with real life history, the feeling I get is that the reasonable ones (like Victorius) want to avoid a world war. Bullying a small country into aligning with your nation's interests or forcing a "protectorate" on them? Fair play. But Not!China is too big, too rich, and if every colonial power wants a piece, the risk of a conflict among them is too high. Same reason colonial powers arranged the Berlin Conference of 1884; they couldn't care less about African well-being, but they wanted to avoid unnecessary conflicts among each other.

But yeah, I bet Bred Regan wouldn't be happy. As with Albion, there's probably a division between hawkish and dovish factions in Dhala. I get the impression that the series is building up Victorius as an alternative to Bred Regan (both even come with their own female subordinate!) for a potential Entente Cordiale in the face of a very aggressive Not!Germany.

Mr. Gutter Brain says that she DOESN'T NEED ambrosia to get her titties sucked ... he'll just point me in her direction because if Kai doesn't want her he WILL volunteer. Then she'll see magic.

You are Evil Colonisers. We are Agents of Liberation for the Downtrodden Classes.
It's a critical element of the Socialist Disease.

 

[Amenohi]

Seeing the first page, I realize that I can't remember exactly which girl is what element. Only remember lightning, water and the recent wind.

[I don't remember the volume 2 girl.]

Volume 2 is his second in command. A normal girl, but would probably love getting sucked. The entire unit and other harem members knows she likes Kai.
