Milfina is such a delight. Her tentacle ball form really sells that whole pure, innocent-yet-devastatingly-powerful vibe.
That's one immediate disaster averted, but I'm guessing that 'black mist' might end up being common to demonkind in terms of how their mana presents. Makes things even more difficult in the short term, but also could hint that the culprit is demonic. Doesn't rule out a conspiracy between demons and humans, of course, and I kinda suspect that'll end up being the case just from a storywriting standpoint.
But it'll be fun to watch our protagonist bumble her way through dealing with the generals and trying not to waste her limited number of Redo chances.
Thanks for the TL as always.
