I am once again in awe of how much the manga changes and makes the story flow a million times better. Just a handful of changes to create this scenario:
The Houghtow College never raises a fuss about half-bloods enrolling. Mild concern, but they trust Flio immediately.
His kids are growing so...
I'm surprised they just dropped Yamata like that… for reference, she's more or less mindless at this stage, and since there's so many different brains she never develops much of a personality. But still a really cool concept imo.
This feels… out of character. We of course know that Violet is rather stuck-up, but he would also consider Nemona a friend, so I'm doubtful he would just abandon her after that request for help.
Going back to 24, it seems like this version of Team Star's admins never actually befriended Penny properly? Like they just knew her as Cassiopeia only?
Wait… what? Huh? Why the hell did he do that then? It was already very forced that he used the skill on everyone when he could've explained that he wanted the fruit without coercing them. And then he tells them how to undo it but there's no promise he won't just reinstate it?? But then they all...
Oh wow I didn't notice that. Worth noting however that they don't appear when you check the "Show unavailable chapters" box, which makes me think they were deleted by uploader rather than the site removing them. Still extremely shitty either way.
This was absolutely a very touching chapter in concept, but I kept getting dragged out of it by them constantly stating the cat's name. I know Japanese doesn't use pronouns really like it's commonplace in English, but they really should've used some "she", "her", "they" etc instead of constantly...
Yet another whole scene that wasn't in the light novel at all, and I am all for it. Great to see Sleip not just immediately folding in like he did there, and the human (former) knights being apprehensive on a new demon appearing. Shows that this really won't be a simple fix to the species' dilemmas.
It's been years since I've read the WN for this, but the framing and pacing the past few chapters has felt decidedly off to me. Like we didn't get a good shot of how the trap activated, didn't have them run down the hallway at all, and then it just cuts to them at a bonfire. Then Mimino gets mad...
