[dahhv2]

Thank you for the translation. To think the next chapter showed up right after I finish the previous one

edit: yeah, that's a wife in the making

 

[Hauberk1800]

Clearly I need to go back and read cause I didn't realize the propulsion issue got solved to where Karen could operate it.

Thanks for the translation. Happy to see some signs of growth in Alisha. Gives me hope myself

 

[Salamande]

I wish I could have a younger me read this chapter. I’d shove his face against the screen like a misbehaving dog.

Cavaliere finally realized that his way of doing things was wrong. If he had stayed stubborn, maybe someone needed to smack her on the head once so he’d realize his mindset needed fixing. Luckily, he was able to change because of MC’s words and I like how blunt Mel-san is when she talks, haha

thank you for translation

NGL, even if she is a bit of a cunt, and could have phrased things better, for some big burly blowhard to assault the person who is representing both Myabi and the Duke is a bit of a stretch. I get that it was to develop her character, and it was a boil that needed lanced, but feels like the author skipped over social norms to progress the scene.

Though now that it is out of the way, Myabi can start kicking her back into shape so she can be a better maid for her young miss.

 

[OmegaZeroZX]

Thank you for the chapter!

 

[Chizan]

I'm beginning to suspect the mangaka may have a thing for Mel, the art is getting more alluring every chapter..

 

[Haezer]

Redemption status: REDEEMED

 

[tohkaknight]

foggy day huh

 

[TristhaniaGevra]

She is so pathetic I love her

 

[essensue]

I like that she grew a lot more than typical redemption arc subjects, but is still a work in progress and still has a difficult personality. Feels real.

Edit: Ah, look, she's holding her removed choker on the volume cover. Guess it represents a serious change affter all. Maybe from out of the lady's service and into working with Miyabi. I really hope that continuing to grow and reflect is just part of her character, now.

I suppose how this ended up getting resolved is fine, kinda par for the course for how these events were gonna play out.

The part with the worker assaulting her in anger with how blunt she was about the management turnover, and her retroactively insulting all the workers there in response feels a bit off in some respect.

In a way with how the workers quickly forgave her after she realized her mistake and apologized, makes me think in a roundabout way after cooling their heads the workers also realized they stepped out of line for their postion and were willing to let things go as water under the bridge.

To them working with Miyabi wasn't all just about business compared to Alisha, so having their concern for his wellbeing be swept under the rug so quickly was bound to cause issues.

I hope to god this little side-track for the story is over, i didn’t really care for Alisha from the start and this redemption arc hasn’t made me like her much either

 

[Reqqles]

This feels a bit rushed, both in terms of how quickly she got into a squabble with the crew and how quickly they forgave her. 's almost like 2-3 chapters worth of plot got reduced to just 1. It also feels a bit off how quickly they turn against her and threaten violence even if she was abrasive and blunt in how she addressed everyone. It's almost like the plot is bending over backwards to try to make Alicia out to be the one in the wrong when she was entirely in the right this chapter. Someone needed to step up in Miyabi's absence and Miyabi himself didn't want his injury to slow down the construction. Frankly the workers were way out of line and this kind of assault on Alicia should have been punished. That all of it is magically resolved just a couple pages later in the chapter makes it all the more jarring to me.

...Also this is just a pet peeve of mine, but I thoroughly dislike it when a manipulative character (Chiffon) has the plot make her decisions right. I'm not giving her a pass for just discarding Alicia, but at least Alicia will be better off without serving someone who can only think of the people around her as pawns to be moved on her chess board.

 

[Galder]

[Timewaster_zoltar]

She has been interacting with them. Last chapter (chapter 39) she glared at them after they made a joke until their faces turned dark and they walked away. She called them filthy crafters. She willfully isolated from the rest of the workers and gave off the impression she'd rather be anywhere else, while maintaining her holier-than-thou attitude.

I don't recall the exact time, but multiple days of this have passed.

Edit: It was 10 days.

Edit2: The funny thing about this is that the commentary about the manipulative character being right goes both ways. Alicia did grow through Chiffon removing her from her position, however, the Duke himself had written Alicia off entirely. We saw him comment to this effect in a previous chapter, even going as far as to joke about execution, if memory serves (chapter 38).

It's not solely a "manipulative rich noble knows best" angle, it's "cunning noblewoman understands her childhood friend better than anyone else".

 

[Psychronia]

You'd think someone trained in things like high society manners and etiquette would know how to choose her words properly. It almost seems like she has some kind of communication disorder.

She's still kind of an asshole, but almost all teenagers are kinda assholes at a little bit. That's the point of maturity, and "fake it til you make it" is one way forward. Miyabi forcing Liz to talk herself up had a similar thing going on.
