Goshujinsama no Shikabane - Vol. 3 Ch. 15 - Kotomi and Ursula

[KanchouM]

Loved the art and premise. Wish it could have been longer, but it's a fine short series. There's longer ones that feel more rushed in their endings.

Not a bad series or ending, it's bittersweet but the resolution for the main character is purpose beyond accepting others unconditionally. I also like the hint that he's working with his dad to improve their relationship- the pacing of this was remarkable given the amount of chapters.
Thank you for translating this title~

Short but nice and entertaining story, the author manages to have your attention to the end of the mangas she writes.

when the first chapter was first uploaded I searched everywhere for more and didn't find it, now I've finished the final chapter thanks to you, so thank you from my heart, truly.

The author is always desperate to write smth really deep with fantasy settings like this but somehow her romance stuff will always be deeper for some reason. Probably just that the author has time to pace the slow and meaningful growth in those stories compared to this where action has to be constantly happening

Maybe it’s something she wanted to write about herself. Authors always insert themselves into their work, so reading this from the perspective of “Is she Ursula?” “Is she Kotomi?” “Is she Dodai?” The atmosphere changes and it becomes more interesting. I’m more inclined to say that she wrote her feelings into the part where Kotomi drinks the tea then Ursula disappears because it feels like a composition that’s been waiting for a long, long time to be drawn. I’ll have to check out her other works. 👍

Fuck I don't know if I'm dumb, but could someone explain what the translator meant when it said to look at the sleeve of the person who picked Kotomi's tissue?

That small detail is easily missable, don't blame you for not noticing it (neither did I when I read it).


Now, for those who want to figure it out themselves, here's another hint:
The one who picked it up has a different sleeve compared to those two maids.


For those who want another hint:
That sleeve looks exactly like the sleeve of the typical Valkyrie Maid uniform (typical look) (this chapter's sleeve).


And for those who don't care and just want the answer, here it is (with proof):
It was our lovable dumbass who picked it up, a.k.a. Zepto.
As stated above, the sleeve is that of a uniform, and Zepto happens to be one of the maids who has such sleeves (Zepto's sleeve). Zepto is known (or at least hinted by Emily) to be no good in any role that isn't being a Valkyrie Maid (Emily's comment) and had the counter-measure division actually been dissolved, he would have been out of a "job." Since Emily stated that they don't know for sure whether the threat has been eliminated or not, this dissolution did not happen (dissolution). Now given the fact that the Valkyrie Maids don't have any targets to actively pursue, they must have been tasked with observing everything in case something happens. Since Kotomi is pretty much the target of the mastermind, observing him is an absolute must. So who else but Zepto is the most suited to perform this task?
And additionally, the 'person' who picked up the tissue packet is using a rather informal tone (even in the raws), so I decided to have them use "ya" instead of "you" to indicate that ("ya dropped this"); which is how Zepto usually talks.

Damn I just realized it, thanks for the hint

Hmmm.........

Definitely on weird spectrum

 

[Gblok]

Damn

I would rather have had the MC actually sacrifice himself than this.
Ofc the best ending would've been both of them being together because this being a sappy ending doesn't even hit in the kokoro, I can only say "Okay, And?" to this. Today there was a oneshot uploaded which made me cry, so this definitely could've done better.

Which oneshot? Out of curiosity. Also yeah, I agree. I'd honestly rather have them both die together than this. (I rejoice in my villainy.)
