re: tl page at the end
@CloroxWipes Do you need help redrawing/cleaning up?
I have no experience in redrawing manga, but I can draw in general

Yuna abandoning Fina to Eleanora-san at the end there = top 10 anime betrayals.

@CEa_TIde I'll leave a discord invite in the next tl page, right now I can get by redrawing terribly by myself, but if you want to try your hand redrawing I'd love to have your help

Yuna has unfortunately devolved from an Ueberfrau character who didn't take crap to a more typical Japanese pop-lit protagonist. She shouldn't feel the need to yield nor to explain herself to Eleanora, and if Yuna is after all going to leave Fina with Eleanora, Yuna should impress upon Eleanora that, if she undermines Fina's dignity, then Eleanora will literally get her ears boxed.

Being entirely fair, this 'character development' was set up and was a bit of a slow burn for a minute- Yuna is kotowing to all these demands/requests because at this point, she actually gives a damn about ALL these characters, considers them friends or at least good people, and simply doesn't want to make them feel bad/leave them in the lurch, since that's not really what friends do. Elenora has pretty much proven to be a good lady, if a bit flighty, so Yuna likely feels it's overkill to threaten her- she knows that push comes to shove, Fina will be more than safe, and that Fina has long been overreacting about being 'proper' and 'respectful' in that house when the actual owners don't really care. It's not a matter of 'undermining dignity', it's a matter of 'literally no one cares about you being buttoned up in that house BUT you, you gotta learn to chill.'

So yeah, basically, Yuna is more empathetic now because she has people she's close to. Recall she really WAS about to just call the whole thing off until Elenora asked. Elenora is a friend, so she's more amendable to her asking than some random receptionist.

Yuna was never a one-dimensional character, and the dimension of imposition of will is not the same as that of being unconcerned for others. Becoming more empathetic does not entail an atrophy of the spine.

The simplest thing for Yuna to have done would have been for her to tell Eleanora “I'm not taking Fina into battle, but it's not your place to poke into what I will instead do.”

Barring that, the empathetic possibilities protect Fina, rather than putting her in a sink-or-swim situation.

Oh no, yet another sniper.
No no, the other group hadn't dropped it, just look at their name!

MILF had elf ears in one bit

I can't wait for the Golem mine arc.

Spoiler

I can't for the reaction when Yuna's Adventurer friends when she punches a golem, it flies backwards, smashes into the mine wall, and dies.

Well to be fair, it's for the mythical metal Mithril. I feel her gamer soul is taken over especially since Eleanora was able to help her skip the majority of the breadcrumb questline and let her jump straight to the end. That and Yuna probably doesn't believe that Eleanor would do anything bad to Fina.

Yuna is my free spirit animal.
Oh no.

Ah excellent, I could bearly contain my sadness at this manga not being continued since 'infrequent' just quietly dropped it out of nowhere. But the bear necessities have returned, those being this manga being translated, at least my patience has beared fruit finally. I'm running out of sentences to make bear puns with, but I hope everyone was able to bear with me up to this point...
I'll see myself out now.
