What are we supposed to feel for the maid? Happy she goes back to her duty? That's not what she wanted. Happy Chiffon is going to treat her like a possession? A heartless reunion for both characters. Are we supposed to feel like they are both idiots? Because that's what I feel. Couple of knobs. Perfect for each other.

Are they a critique of that trope of admiration based servitude? Yeaaaaaaah, naw. No, thanks.

Trains? Alright, time to fire up OpenTTD, Transport Fever 2 or City Skylines 2. The city will grow bigger and bigger once the transported goods arrive. 😂

Damn that was really worth the wait just for the "I'm home" spread.

I'm still waiting for when Miyabi tell these religious people how he god there. The Goddess of Love sent him to this land to find happiness, and the first person he talked to in the land is Liz.

And Angelum/Berlin family patron God is also the Goddess of Love. The Duke and church may hold a sacred God ordained engagement/marriage ceremony.

"Not as a friend, but as a servant"

That rather strains the definition of a happy ending. End all nobility, end all monarchies, end all caste systems, end all master-servant relationships.

4 beds and a kitchen but no bathroom.
I thought the same but I'd think at this point in this settings development most people would be using something like a chamber pot. Though you'd think a japanman like MC would never miss the opportunity to shove a toilet into basically anything he could.
When did the propulsion system get changed?

Its no longer tossing out a ton of air continually, and these trains are much bulkier then the original design that was stripped down to reduce weight so other crafters could make usable wind blocks, so it can't be just running on wind blasted from the back anymore.

On page 49 it's got the full drive and piston control linkage a steam engine has, so are they driving the pistons using compressed air now or did it switch to steam?
I just assume it's a disconnect between the writer and an artist on a tight schedule. It happens a lot in adaptations like this.

could have been easier if he just make steam train
also every manga forgot that trains system include signaling. without it only 01 train can run per track.

In the real world one or more of the hundreds of labourers would be happy to sell Miyabi out for some money. Unlikely in this series though
In the real world, accredited artisans often work together to support each other at every point. Just look at how Banksy remains anonymous, even with people tracing what publically available information exists and calling in favours and using industry connections to try and figure who he is out.

Duke Greenvale is too short sighted. Berdini is playing the long game. Even if sell the iron on the cheap at break even prices, he's going to way make up for it for being the center for a trade hub. That old man from the production guild is even more short sights. Then again he is big fish in a small pond. He's could not handle idea he would be forced to compete on the larger stage.

How long did they say the trip would take? I thought it was a few hours, but if it's a sleeper car, I'm definitely remembering wrong lol

At this point, if Liz and Miyabi don't end up together, I'm gonna be so pissed. Get yourself a man that will literally ignite the flames of industrial revolution for you

I thought the idiot noble would sabotage the railway (for example by stealing the magic crystals embedded in the rails, which I still find a dumb and dangerous decision), but he went for a more stupid idea.

This one's definitely wandering straight to the meme pile.

By all means take a copy of the plans and start planning out your respective tunnels. Without Miyabi or the Berdini crafters, they will be in production hell for the better part of a decade as they try to piece together their own engine and rail cars.

While they struggle with that, Miyabi will be chunking out a four to six rail lines, a year, complete with regional station and locomotive. So all the half priced iron is going to do is speed things along rather nicely for Berdini backed projects.

And as an aside, i wonder how long it will take to bankrupt Duke Green Vale? He still has to buy all that iron for full price, even if he recovers half it's value. Miyabi is still going to be burning thrue their supplies with astonishing speed. So I wonder which breaks first, the supply of iron or the Green Vale bank account.
Nonzero chance Miyabi hits an iron vein while digging through the tunnels too, so so long as he has permission, he could hollow out an area real quick, drop off the iron with the local lord (or arrange a purchase order for the material) and lower the price even further... making rails cheaper as well.

Fuck yeah, husband wife reunion, now go seal the deal next year.

Also, "as the next head of house berdini"? I was under impression that the prince gonna become one with Chiffon supporting her, so it is possible for a woman to be a head in this story?

I read about 20km/h somewhere. It's around 500 km, that's about 25 hours. Even if it was two days, still an improvement from two weeks

I feel like Chiffon and Alicia are going to be closer now than ever because Alicia now has actual professional pride in her work as a maid rather than 'personal attendant to Lady Chiffon', which I think was the source of the problem.

I dunno, I want to believe that this was Chiffon's actual plan rather than some weird Japanese 'become robot' thing.
