fuck me, part II is gonna suck.
But yeah. Rea being..if not in full-on romantic love with Shien, then at least heavily enamored with her, explains her behavior at the river/lake-side in the pre-flashback chapter.
Given how her need to make money (magically or otherwise) is ingrained in her very being, that same magnetic pull toward Shien would make just as much sense, as an unconscious component of her core self that even this amnesia couldn't erase.
I'm bracing for the reveal of whatever Rea went through. I.....kinda wonder if it won't be self-imposed, because she witnesses something so traumatic that she'd rather forget everything than live with the memory. But that's more because I'm not sure how she would survive physical wounds/injury that leave the sort of mark that we see reflected in the windowpane of the diner.
It feels like it'd be much more likely as a metaphorical scar, than a literal past one, at least.
But - hopefully even with getting those bad memories back, getting these good ones, and of course recalling who Shien is, and is for her, will see Rea begin the process of healing and finding herself again. Mode-chan is on her way.
May Rea, and whomever else Tama stumbles upon next, join their ranks and rebuild this family of witches.
Thanks for the TL.

Oh man how will the next part completely make us cry? Maybe her will to keep going during the witch hunt was to see Shien again. Which is sad and poetically beautiful.

Look out Tama, you've got some competition for Shien's heart...or if the flashback was anything to go by maybe cooperation?
Like everyone else here I'm dreading how pt. 2 will emotionally destroy us.

Wow, I guess she really was heavily enamoured with Shien-san, but there's not much trauma so far...
No worries though. During last time with Mode-chan, we also get to see her cute side only on the first half of a chapter, and the trauma came later.
I see now that she really is the Tama-Shien duo's powerful sponsor, giving them gold so that they're able to provide medicine for the people for free.
I mean, I believe it's not really as bad as they led us to believe. Unlike Mode-chan who loves her animals and Tama, her biggest fascination is Shien-san here first and foremost, so I'm guessing that her loss of memory was a personal decision because she wanted to protect her beloved witch. Or (more likely), she heard about the hunt first from common people, and afraid that Shien-san was caught or wasn't able to get money to live anymore, so she tried to make money and go to the war zone (for witches, it's burning stakes) and got captured with gold and got suspected, or maybe she saw Shien at her worst, tried her best to save her, barely succeeded, and got in a devastating place herself.
After all, she doesn't display much witch properties, so her possibilities of being taken out during the hunt is rather low. If she really was caught in the witch hunt, Shien has to be the primary reason. Not to mention I believe Shien-san was the only one who is able to erase memories with witch magic. (Rea is only Alchemy, right?)
Who knows, maybe she also has something to do with her like towards cigarettes (albeit used cigarette butts) before cigarette were even invented. During the Hologram Tama Recruitment, she was the only one who smokes among three vegabond witches, the other two being Mode-chan who is just a dependent child at heart, and one final witch who uses a lolipop.
I also hope that Rea's tale can have more than one chapter, though. I somehow think that her journey needed more than a single chapter to cover. Her desperation feels like it would be better told in more detail to the memory-loss Breaking Point. But can the manga justify a trauma event so bad it warrents an empty head in half a chapter? Or give an accident memory-loss that feels not so forced? Let's wait and see.
Also, Happy April Fools! hehe, who would know that a simple fool moment could have been a fact check on black tea? You really got me there~

I'd like to clarify, because I actually hate when people upload joke tl/funny language/edits and then pass it as a new chapter, that the translation for this is the same as the rest.
So to be clear, in the 16th century, Portuguese seafarers and missionaries were among the first Europeans to encounter tea, thanks to their extensive travels and trade with China and Japan. The Portuguese referred to tea as 'Cha,' a term derived from the Chinese word for tea. This terminology, along with the cultural exchange surrounding tea, greatly impacted how tea was perceived and consumed in Europe. In 1610, the Dutch East India Company introduced Chinese tea to Europe via Batavia, now known as Jakarta. As the Dutch solidified their dominance in the tea trade, Europe began to adopt this exotic beverage, signaling the emergence of tea on the continent. The Portuguese were the first to introduce tea to Europe in the 16th century, but it was the Dutch who made Chinese tea more accessible through their frequent imports.
Tea arrived in France during the reign of Louis XIII, at the same time as other luxury colonial products, chocolate, and coffee, and gained in popularity with the arrival of Jules Mazarin at court, who attributed medicinal virtues to tea. Sources differ as to its precise introduction: either via the Dutch, who received their first shipment of tea in Amsterdam in 1610 and then redistributed it in Europe, or directly by the Jesuits, notably Alexandre de Rhodes, a missionary sent to China from 1618 to 1653. Jules Mazarin's arrival at court increased tea's popularity among the aristocracy: tea was thought to have cured his gout, and French medical treatises of the seventeenth century constantly extolled the merits of tea.
During the French Revolution, tea, synonymous with luxury and the gulf separating the upper classes from the rest of society, was decried and its consumption discouraged.

More like they're currently in France at the point of the Witch Hunts.
They are already shown to live for centuries. They just as likely predate the country's founding as you--or rather, your conditioned disparaging--would recognize it.
I would have guessed earlier, along the Silk Road, though it would take shipping to drop the price to where even nobles could afford it.
Just like America, though we associated it with the British. But America was sending ships to China for tea during the Revolution. Caffeine had us like—
"Conditioned disparaging" lol. You mean "banter"? There's only one frog we tolerate around here, his name is Pepe, and he speak-a da English.
(Huguenots were grandfathered in by the Revolution, so they don't count.)
