Bike bro, I hope your personal situation has improved. Thanks for the chapter

Water is green.
Fire is blue.
Earth is red.
Why?

Because the gods don't represent only elements.

Water Goddess also represents Spring

Fire God is Summer

Earth Goddess is part of Winter

Spoiler

The 4 seasons also represent maturity progress as well.

Spring - birth/childhood (budding/sprouting)

Summer - 'growing'/reaching teen

Autumn - 'ripening'/puberty

Winter - reaching adulthood i.e. seggs

Which is also why the in-universe 'u pedo?' line is 'hastening arrival of Winter'

Water is green.
Fire is blue.
Earth is red.
Why?

this comes from the religion of the world and how it's made. this world of magic has it's influance based in religion and the gods actions despite it going away from it. it was actually explained why at the start of s2 but it's just as good an explenation as others. TLDR colors are associated with their respective gods their domains and the countries foundational myths.
Flutrane the godess of water is associated with spring and the coming of the change (like the changing of the seasons) it's colors are then associated with the things incorporated into that season for spring that's the melting of the snow and the start of new GREENery in the form of plants.
this goes on for all the primary gods. and thus their associated colors.
Leidenschaft-> Fire->summer (strongest god to drive away winter)-> clear blue skys often seen in Middle European lands (the geographical setting of Ascendance of a bookworm even if the world is magical)
Schutzaria -> wind -> Fall -> highly associated with the winds and harvest as the main product of the country is wheat the color follows suit -> yellow for the harvested wheat
Winter is best described with the 2 gods that are both associated with it and their differing personalities
Ewigeliebe -> life -> winter -> color white is associated with snow and a reflection of his possessiveness for his wife which he covered in ice(a real yandere here)
Geduldh ->earth -> winter -> color red is associated with the Hearth (fireplace) a reprieve from the harshness of winter and accepting to all who come near it (reflective of her accepting personality of all ppl)

lastly there are 2 more who don't have a name for all ppl and aren't associated with seaons.
the god of dakness->associated with the night -> thus his color is Black (also associated with fatherhood and thus his subordinates are those who are associated with fatherly actions)
the godess of light ->associated with the day -> thus her color is the noble Golden color of Gold as the sun. (also associated with motherhood and the preservation of order)

In some panels she looks as small as always and in others she looks like her age. Maybe the problem is the face, she is too round in contrast with the other girls her age.

Water is green.
Fire is blue.
Earth is red.
Why?

Water is the color of the spring gods. Spring is the time when all the herbs are green
Blue is the color of the summer gods. So the color of the blue sky when the weather is good in the summer
Earth is one of the 2 colors of the winter gods. The color of the fire in the hearth you make to stay warm. (Second winter color is white for the snow)

love Myne slowly changing noble opinion like this. it’ll probably be really freaking good for the economy if nobles started actually wanting to work hard and improve rather than sitting on their butts. Myne might’ve just created the greatest generation Ehrenfest has ever seen

also for those wondering what the freak s up with Fraularm

Spoiler

she’s count toads sister in law and fully blames Myne for his arrest. Which is a bit like blaming the child instead of diddy/epstein/jackson/catholic priests but the bitch is crazy and only gets worse from here

They were Elon musk posting even back in the old times.

problem is it is canonical that a person doesn't age while in the Jureve it's also canonical that overcompression (which myne did) stuns ones growth (that's why myne at the start of the series i canonically refered to that she looks like she's 3 when she was 5) Also why many wonder (as an isult or genuinely) why a child that looks like they've barely been baptised is at the gathering at the academy. Also she looks better because the clothes that she wears are custom fit so even if she's smaller the clothes would be made in a style that minimises that. though i do agree that in many cases she looks too big for her supposed age. truthfully i think that the best comparison in this chapter is when she's talking to philine in the hallway on page 18. it might look a bit weird because when sitting down a lot of the hight differences severly deminish

Aw... if it had been a cat, we could've called it Longcat magic beast. What a shame.

 

[Hicleric]

Strong Magic Schoolbus vibes here

 

[bicyclebastard]

Thanks for the chapter. I hope at some point you're set up enough to go back to the regular weeklies.

i would give anything for my only responsibility to be my hobbies 😭😭😭 doing it monthly means there's one every month instead of 3-5 in one month and 0 for the next 4 months. my school is getting more serious as i finish up the gen-eds and get into my degree classes

 

[bicyclebastard]

...wind or? WIND OR WHAT???
probably light

this one was a text box error lol. the box was a bit small and cut off the light. soz!!! its fixed now <3

 

[WhimsiCat]

It is based on THE catbus from Ghibli (including the morphing instead of door) just with red panda theme instead.

Unnatural she says.

Spoiler

Yet here they are using compressed children's souls to create mounts.

It's so funny how Wilfried, even though he has a higher position than Myne, is being asked to be her diary writer.

Well he has a way higher position than Myne, but not Rozemyne 😉. Rozemyne is seen as the most competent archduke candidate by nobles of the duchy and I think by this point in the story it's clear she has a larger support base, though this will also be a plot point for later. While Wilfried is actually in a very weak position post the Veronica tower incident and is only in the running because Rozemyne sees him as the best option out of Florencia's children (so far, Charlotte isn't old enough for the academy yet) to succeed as aub, and has zero desire to takeover as the aub and instead wants to strengthen the position of Sylvester's heir while improving the duchy like Ferdinand did for Sylvester, that's the whole reason why Ferdinand, Sylvester and Karstedt conspired to turn her into an adopted archduke candidate.

 

[TsuKano]

I guess Hartmut to Rozemyne is as fanatic as Demiurge to Momonga ehh… he even has that “sasuga” type shi

Anyway thanks for TL!

Actually the reason why Wilfred is tasked with it is because the trio knows that Rozmyne would exclude things that would get her in trouble because they are out of standard so they tasked Wilfred with writing it.

The reports yeah, too bad for them...

 

[CruiserEgg97]

That old bat Fraularm...
Myne's trouble with her are only beginning.

I suspect it won't be long... (The next part probably will still take a year or two to start tho...)

 

[CruiserEgg97]

The reports yeah, too bad for them...

They were after all under training during the period... No time like now to practice...

 

[Aureliano]

Myne is indeed a saint.. for not beating the shit out of that sheltered nepo baby.
