Incredibly cozy vibes this chapter, the flower covered cottage and furniture are just so cute! The different magic plants are so interesting, it reminds me of herbology from Harry Potter.

Just realized it’s the demon who made her. Trouble on the horizon. Wonder how long it takes for her to realize she’s making the zombies. Gotta be a way for her to eat without doing that
In the novel she figures it out during this chapter. I think the manga is skipping it or it might happen later.

Weird grammar indeed, so who’s the main male lead, the sorcerer? Please tell me it’s the sorcerer
The Knight Commander is the ML so far as I read. His scenes courting the witch have more gentle vibes, plus minor foreshadowing is on his side. Sorcerer scenes are more fun and complicated though, like a cute relative.

Warning: This really commits to Flower Witch being an anxious root vegetable without human romantic wiring.

this should've been put in a spoiler

Edit: I forgot the spoiler too, lol

I have no confidence with my english writing skills sometimes. :)

The Knight Captain and The Sorcerer.

I urge you to read the WN yourself if you dont want to get spoiled further. The novel's pretty fun read and the translated version is almost caught up to the JP raw (only 3 chapter behind).

I'm just thinking that if they really committed to the plant monster bit, then that flower on her head is her actual lady parts and she's either got nothing downstairs or any parts down there are purely decorative.

Wonder how she's gonna react if she accidentally catches some pollen from another wild mandragora that escaped harvest and managed to bloom.

Ffuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck!
Yeah... You'll get it when you see the difference approaches to the humor of flirting with an iron wall. It's pretty fun so far as the trope goes.

If I'm to reaaally read into the writing about immortality age-gaps and demon relationship logic, we're meeting her mortal first husband and after maybe a century gap her second partner. So it works out enough I'm not stressing.

That plant the demon guy was tearing... on the first panel with it, it looks like it has dried out fingers sticking upwards. Cabbage Patch Zombie?
Pretty sure it's another mandragora. He seems to be working almost exclusively with them. The MC was grown/born from a patch of the he planted in the woods.

now that I've read the novel, it feels a lot is missing from this title. but don't get me wrong, this probably fixed the pacing that felt very one-note in the novel. I'd suggest for others to give it a try if they want to read more of this, it's written as a light novel so it's almost a one to one with the manga from the earlier chapters.

The chief is a better man than me, I guess, because I sadly learned that people who smile too much are usually the worst rats underneath... so, I would be twice as suspicious in his shoes lol

And of course, the Nobles only come down from their Ivory Towers to ruin the People Peace... sigh...

She totally reads like a witch, fairy, or demon out of a fairy tale. 50 / 50 whether she's slowly corrupting the village with her "too good to be true" offerings, or its one of those stories where you actually have an idyllic situation and it will end the moment you investigate too much.

Damn... so, in those cases, we lose either slowly or either badly lol
