The dialogue is becoming less and less...interesting?
Nobody talks like this, we had a tiny bit of drama and now everyone is cartoonishly open and honest
Theres gotta be a sizable amount of people in the school that view her as a monster freak people get ostracised for so so much less

At first I wanted to joke that Ruri is clearly at the stage “The only black student in a white school in a rich area”, but this sharply accepted an uncomfortable context when classmates decided to turn her into their personal grill ...

I’m willing to partially agree, but I obviously wouldn’t call it an open situation when others started abusing her fiery ability for free marshmallows and other crap. It may seem that everyone is open and friendly with her, but she clearly begins to suffer from excessive superficial interest, which many children probably experienced with “unusual” ethnicity or identity at school.

I was about to say if she has a problem being called “dragon girl” then at least she still looks Japanese apart from that. This would be a very different kind of story if she was actually black…

I don’t think that black guys would have no problems if they lived in a white society, where everyone called them “black guy” or “blackie” in particularly neglected situations.

Will there be another break week in Japan, or this manga is yet another one that it's release cycle is going to become mess? Honestly, it's kinda annoying how many titles these days are so inconsistent with their release schedule, it's blowing my mind.
Obviously I have no idea what its like in japanese schools, but from personal experience not really. Remember they only know her as the girl with horns that did something to the weather over the weekend, and people call her a dragon whatever that is supposed to mean. It's kind of hard to be racist against a race you didn't even think could exist a couple months ago. Being a Different in school is just experiencing a lot of microaggressions and people expecting you to be an expert in that Difference. I was one of the few jews in school and meeting people outside of my class was a lot like this chapter.

I have to wonder if all of this superficial interest (as others aptly phrased it) is a setup to a more interesting conflict on the horizon or if the author just isn't on their game at the moment or something (like @Kampfarsch said, the dialogue just... doesn't feel good or sound realistic suddenly). I like the consensus on "being the only X in class & being treated like an authority on the topic when you're nearly just as in the dark" but considering the dragon community is much smaller and much more hidden than any other group who the person in question is just separated from, as opposed to possibly being one of the only ones, I wonder if Ruri accidentally becoming too open about being able to breathe fire and shit is going to lead to repercussions in the wider world, be they good or bad; maybe suffocating celebrity status or a "keep your kids away from the godless scary witch" kind of perception...

She's probably not happy about it, she just doesn't know how to say "no", so she's going along with things while trying to make as few waves as she can.
I actually found this chapter pretty fun. I was kinda missing our little dragon showing off her powers. About her classmates "taking advantage" of her powers, I think that's overthinking it. They're just kids having fun, and Ruri doesn’t seem to mind it much. Maybe, if you wanna look at it in a "negative" way, Ruri’s showing off her powers not because she enjoys it but to seem cooler to her classmates and make sure they don’t get scared of her abilities.

TBH, that fire breathing at a small food object on a sick/chopsticks hold out by a hand is really dangerous. Judging from the size of the flame, and the fact that it can charred marshmallow/re-crisp karaage in split seconds, the heat intensity of that is no joke; those kids would get some degree of burns on their hands (hairs on their hands burned and some redness at the bare minimum)
Germs in her breath is probably dead so that's not a concern but not all flame is equal in cooking. Fuel of the flame will be in vapor and imparts its smell onto the food; so, whatever is in Ruri's breath will... or maybe that's the reason everyone seems to really enjoy the food?!

I loved the panel where Ruri roasted the marshmallows. Thanks for the translation
