@chet31 I think that's overanalyzing it. The main worry of the sister older sister is her purpose is to look after her sister, and she can't do that in this world at all, so she's still hoping to go back. The little sister's main worry is being a burden on her sister, and in this world she can be independent and also take care of her sister doing the work that she does.

Its like coming into this world accelerated her little sister's growth as a person and in the blink of her eye, she flew from the nest and older sister is scrambling because she wasn't ready. The dilemma king brought is the realization that little sister found her life here, and might not want to go back. While older sister has been suspending hers (ie. not getting with jade) on the assumption that when business is finished here they're going back to continue their 'real' lives.

The "delusional" thing doesn't really make sense in this context. Visually, I think that's more a consequence of how author draws eyes and the screen tone used over little sister there. And the general sentiment isn't "Go back home I don't need you". Its " I've become independent here, so focus on your life now. and I can help you, as you've been doing for me".

@TheStuffedUnicorn If that is the case, having the baby sister being borderline.. Cant remember the word for it, but when you express emotions going from 0 to 100, might explain things, but if what you are saying is true, then the author honestly did a very bad job at expressing it.

The little sister still hasn't flown from the nest, she behaves like a spoiled child, which is what everyone is doing to her so of course she will be one.

Maybe some nuances in the conversation were lost in translation (hah), but no matter how many times I re-read it, it still feels to moody and down for it to be jovial in any sense of the word.

@chet31 not sure what you mean. You could be projecting or wanting to get some other meaning out of this. Sisters tone was cheerful/optimistic from the start. The gist was:
1. She's in love with the fantasy world that they're in and the opportunities to explore are infinite compared to what she had before.
2. "You had to give up on things because I'm with you. I don't want that. I'll take care of myself and my own matters. You shouldn't worry about me" In the other world big sis was basically fulfilling all the roles a mother needs to for her, which is a big burden to carry. She no longer needs to feel like she has to carry that burden , and can finally live life for herself as she hasn't let herself do before.

Also we don't see little sister at home that often. She's out in the world being the saint, whatever work that entails, which sounds dangerous. She's not dependent on her older sister for food/shelter aka flown from the nest. She's not a fully matured adult yet , she's still a curious wide-eyed spontaneous teenager, but one that has a job only she can do and people that rely on her. But when she's home, like when i'm home from college, I want to be spoiled to death by my mom and have home cooked meals. I don't think that means she's a spoiled child.

Granted, the visual tone of this chapter is very dark. A lot of things and people are shaded in a way that can be seen as omnious. But, shade from the sun is usually depicted as crosshatched. The little sister's front is shaded, so the sun is directly behind her. From the older sister's perspective, looking up at the sister is looking towards the sun which can symbolize the vibrance this world brought and can bring to their lives.

@TheStuffedUnicorn Having re-read it again and looking for the shading, I see now why I missed it, since on page 5 there is no sun behind her, but then we get 2 frames looking at her feet and then we see the sun is behind her, which is what causes the shit shading on page 10, and I honestly didn't think the white spot was supposed to depict a sun flare at the end, since to me it doesn't look like one. So that's my bad and honestly shoddy work from the artist.

This might be due to all the Isekai's I've read before on since everyone needs her to be happy, they spoil her (with the exception of the head trainer), since happy person means more likely to assist. Probably projecting since its how it usually is and we never see her day to day outside coming home. We do know that it is extremely dangerous on the trail bit she does due to Titania, but other then that, we don't know anything about the sister, which might be causing some of this speculation tbh.

I am curious though as to how they both would behave if all of their mod cons were taken away, since this is all about being in a new world with mod cons when it comes to their own home and that everything still works.

This makes me think that at the end of this the sisters will end up separating one returning to earth while the other staying

Might've been the drawing style but I kept getting bad vibes. It almost feels like Big Sister is being left behind.

The "should i go back to real world or not" as the main conflict in this story is pretty weak. I wasnt even sad or worried when reading. I was simply scrolling and not really sympathising with the characters..
Or I guess its just me
