Kinda surprised Delia is that fast to think of Dirk as her brother. Not sure if Myne did it intentionally or not. Also how is the name Dirk and Delia similar lol
Maybe we will have three childhood friends if Dirk can go out with Kamil and Renate. I want to see older Renate, she seems like she will be a beauty.
It’s interesting how milk will help with the Devouring? And with how immense Dirk’s power is and how the temple needs more power, shouldn’t it be a good thing? They don’t need to be dependent to Myne and can just don’t tell anyone that there is someone other than Myne that will give a mana?
Delia has sever abandonment issues so she quickly imprints on those close to her.
Dirk and Delia are close in the japanese katakana dirks name "ディルク" and Delias "デリア" share the same first letter you can't really go 1 to 1 with the names so while it's not written simmilarly the "Di" part of dirks name and "De" from Delias do phonetically sound the same as "duh"
when it comes to the devouring you have to remember that it's mana and it flares up when you get emotional (as we saw with Myne and her books and during her rescue of Fran and Rosina) a child will get emotional when they are really hungry as babys can't really regulate their emotions. that's how the milk helps because he's no longer hungry he's not emotional.
the ammount of Dirks power will prob be discussed in the next chapter when Ferdinand measures him. As for the temple thing there's a problem with tradition. Only Blue priests being allowed to dedicate mana cuz of tradition (that's why Myne was even afforded blue robes in the first place) but a Blue robed priest also has to employ gray robes... how exactly is he supposed to do that at 1 or 2 years old. Also while it may seem that Myne is actually really well of she's really not. while it wasn't covered in the manga it was in the anime during the events of chapter 39 Myne actually approaches Benno to start selling books because she doesn't have the funds for winter prep for everyone.
