Its been a while, but i don't recall mc being that much of a idiot?..

Trusting the person who was just before outed as biggest and greediest trading company and over the conversation has been given more information from frost, that she is in fact in cooperation with a neighbouring noble halting all restoration 😐

Also, she was pretty much at the beginning shown that Dehlia is a spy from that trading company, without any attempts to hide it

Chapter was pretty frustrating all in all ngl, mc just taking everything she says at face value and not speaking up once, but suddenly speaking up to frost instead (?)..

Shion and Frost are so similar that it is no wonder they are immediately going for each other's throats, that said, Shion is pretty interesting despite being nothing more than a huge Violet simp right now, it must be her design. I'm curious about what Violet is plotting, certainly can't be anything good but I trust Clarice to be savvy enough to deal with her.

Frost just happening to pick the earrings meaning for your beloved is a huge coincidence, could it be that Clarice if starting to thaw her ice heart?
I was half expecting to find that Shion was actually the Graat director or something like that, in a perfect mirror of Clarice and Frost . . .

I'm definitely wondering how much of Frost's apparent barbarity is a con of some sort. Though at the same time, it's hard to see how it'd work . . .

i feel like at some point the mc will be easily swayed by violet and this may lead to a fight between clarice and the black night

No way she was taking any of this at face value - she's definitely not an idiot. But she's not exactly used to playing 4d chess or whatever, either - she's smart and fairly well-informed, but only in the areas where that might reasonably be expected, and she's definitely not some kind of crazy genius character.

Right now she's reeling from a string of surprises and unexpected challenges, and she hasn't had a chance to sort things out in her head and figure out how to respond. Which is entirely deliberate - the more confused and disoriented Clarice is the more vulnerable she is to whatever shenanigans this Violet person is looking to get away with. They probably assume that she's a bit of a naive city girl who doesn't have much of an idea of what's going on or what any of it means, and that if they can convince her that Violet is her friend (her worldy-wise, elegant and influential friend) then they can use her as a way to get access to Frost and his household.

The problem is, Clarice isn't an idiot, she's not taking any of this at face value (even if she's not showing that at the moment), and (most importantly) she doesn't have the kind of relationship that Violet probably assumes she has with Frost - there's not going to be any pillow talk convincing a doting husband to do nice things for her new friend, or whatever the hell they think might be possible.

And the fact that Violet is so ill-informed about the actual situation suggests that their spy is either totally incompetent or deliberately not telling them anything useful . . .

Honestly I'm expecting that this is more about social skills than anything else. MC was alternating being nonplussed and agitated, but as a supposedly canny planner she never seemed like she's keeping track enough to develop conclusions let alone be convinced. I'll reserve judgment until she escapes this succubus and evaluates the situation.

It's not going to be clean; Delia looks unhappy and seems like a useful double agent, but Frost possibly gave up the useful intel that she has been lying about her face.

Lol. Always love the scene when you talking bad about someone, but that someone is in front of you.

Frost and Shion is muscle brain with low social skills. Always go "1v1 bro?" At the end of conversation.

And new info about Dahlia Jane. I still want her. Lol

Guys I'm starting to think the trading company that has a monopoly and is that's charging exorbitant fees as the common folk suffer might be up to no good!

Thanks for the chapter!
I dont get an evil vibe from them. They seem more like quirky merchant archetypes to me.
Mostly because the swordswoman looks like a rival gag for Frost where they fight over whose wife is better. While the trade lady gives her romantic advice. I guess Dehlia does differentiate Clarice from her though so maybe she could be evil.

Poor Clarice, she didn't even have the time to process the information if Frost is actively speaking her mind like that. Also even when she is smart she's not someone who have experience in negotiation (remember how she was when lying to the maids?) I think her reaction due to being overwhelmed by Violet, Shion and Frost is totally justified here.
