Agreed. I'd rather see her with the Lord or Julian. Hell, even Theo.

I did the same thing when I moved away to a new city: I took some kitchenware my mom wanted to sell! They're a beautiful set of four jars, and when I was a child, she used them to hold flour, sugar, beans, and rice. Mine hold rice, beans, lentils, and pasta now, but they make me think of home...

I think it's their reaction to the bitterness. They expected cocoa, got bitter espresso, and had their little moe moment. Kind of like when a kid is offered lemon for the first time and they have an adorable reaction to their first taste of sour.

I disagree, respectfully. She said her mother married a nondescript plain face of a man. Our Nikolaus is a handsome, hard-working guy! :dogkek:

Here's Cooking with Dog's recipe for takikomi gohan 😊

Yup, you're right! My mistake. Regardless, Gen is in Tokyo which is mirrored by being placed in La Parisia/Valisia/whatever the translation is at this point, which is the main center of commerce, fashion, etc, while Aitheria is the old capital of the Empire, ergo, Kyoto.

While I'm still searching for the specific chapter, Damien gets transported to Fushimi Inari Taisha Shrine in "The Witch and the Archbishop." Unlike Gen, where there is a Fox deity specifically looking over the Yoshimura family, Nobu was simply spirited into Aitheria by a kitsune. In the LN...

Nope. Gen is in Tokyo, and La Parisia is in Oilia—they're both the modern and moneyed capitals of their respective worlds. Nobu is in Kyoto, the old capital of Japan, just as Aitheria is the old capital of the Empire (to the north of Oilia/La Parisia.)

While you're right, this is also kind of negated with the recent revelation that it's Edwin who has God's Tongue and Ludwig Sr. had a normal palate. He still pushed himself to achieve something nearly impossible, though.

I didn't realize Lushia/Rushia was Russia until this most recent translation tbh LOL. I kept remembering it as "Lupsia"/"Rupsia" from the older translations.

Wondering if Zezeman, because he's from the south of the Empire, has this world's equivalent of Moroccan ancestry in him. :thonk: Or maybe Algeria or Tunisia? Would love to see some of their cuisine as we did in Gen with lablabi, which is from Tunisia.

Small correction, though I do agree with your overall examination of the time period: In chapter 32, "Raw Oyster Ban," Bertholdt reveals there is a squadron who use guns. They're akin to muskets as far as we can tell by the description—oysters are called "gun shellfish" by everyone, even...

He did reach the Cardinal indeed! But both Ingrid and Rodrigo mention he should be high up in the ranks, so it's rather mysterious as to why he's a simple deacon. But, the simplest answer may be the correct one!! Edwin wanted to indulge once he felt fulfilled and now he is who he is!

You're right on that, actually. Edwin has been mentioned to always be sneaking off, slacking on his duties, etc. Guess something happened that turned him away from the devout priest we see here—maybe Ingrid's self-exile?

I'm not holding my breath LMAO
