So does Cattleya have the power to tie down a person's very soul so Kagura's didn't fly off? Or is the soul inside the aramitama and she just plucked it out because it isn't necessary for the key?
Cuz we've basically determined with her remaking Kagura's body that she has full mastery over all...
While I don't doubt that the axe is starting to fall, I kinda call bullshit on this scenario. How does Cattleya know they have to kill each other?
If there are only 3 key parts, and she hasn't gone and claimed the 3rd already, then what is that claim based on?
Is the logic that because every...
I'm not gonna begrudge him for throwing the cash at them and saying scram, and I understand not wanting to do anything in front of her, but I'm pretty sure at least the parents if not all 4 should be reported for attempted human trafficking.
Now that I think about it though, unless he either...
How much time passed that all these companies and that noble had time to show up?
Am I misremembering how big Theo's hometown is? I thought it was pretty rural.
So it's like Cheap Trick combined with the method they used to defeat Cheap Trick, the ghost alley.
It latches to your back, then tries to make you turn around rather than show your back.
And I guess whatever illusion it shows/form it takes to get you to do so attacks you each time you turn.
How the heck do average people differentiate between heroes and villains when they aren't wacky monsters like that guy?
Those civilians immediately clocked him as a monster despite him being perfectly humanoid.
Like, before he transforms he has the mark on his hand to identify him, but we're not...
"Inside I am but an old man in his fifties"
The hell you mean you were in your 50s???
You don't even look 30 in the execution scene!
(lol nvm I read a few pages further)
She even understands the concept of people being jealous of hogging their loved one's time based on her earlier comment.
Either that or she's been taught a ton of stock phrases by her etiquette teachers without being taught the context or meaning of them.
She also seems aware of the optics of...
If this hypothetically was a real offer by the bank, and not a scam by the gang, I feel like the bank would have a halfway decent defense in that it's not them threatening him economically, it's the government.
To prove duress, Howler would have to prove he had the (reasonable) expectation...
My theory at this point is that if the lava rock is working as a magnet for "things of value", then it makes sense that that "value" is also magnetic but of the opposite polarity. Put a big enough stack of cash near it and it's the rock that will get pulled in instead.
Only real flaw I can see...
Howler is looking more and more pathetic and incompetent with each chapter.
I wouldn't be surprised in the slightest if these stand users turn out to be just completely bluffing him on being his subordinates.
Whether their actual boss is another investor like the bank or someone after the lava...
