Everytime Maria goes gushing for cute kids I then remember that Albright is inside, especially this chapter where both Maria and Albright are discussed a lot with Maria gushing.

Albright did care for and kind to kids, but not to the extent that Maria is. So imagining Maria’s action in Albright’s body is quite funny.

Small typo on page 20, first bubble, should be maid, not made

Thanks for the update

I don't mind gushing about kids, but I wish it didn't sound so much like something a ped*phile would say... Especially with the bit about wanting to drink the bathwater a while back.

Yeah, for all of Maria's characteristics, this one is maybe a little too self-insert for the author. Reincarnated girl or not, a normal person would not say that.

And then Maria immediately gets run over by a cart that was coming from the opposite direction.

Japan... This sort of thing is rife. However... While it can go pedo route, I think it's primarily an obsession with innocence, purity, cuteness. "Purity" is one of the main driving forces of social/personal order, and you'll find it rife in other ways in JP culture. E.g. bathing, toilets, ideas of spiritual "pollution".

Chapter 59: Maria finally meets Avein. We're pretty far into the series, and it looks like "Death of Albright" story is finally coming to fore.

• Avein had told Albright to stay away from whats-her-name. Consequently, Albright went to handle it solo rather than ask the kings help. For which the king feels guilty. And Maria feels guilty for not talking to him, and going off on her/his own to die.
• Avein comment that "she doesn't resemble him at all." is curious. Did he go in, with some awareness that Maria was like Albright? Or did he just get mixed feels from that encounter -- that she is both like Albright and not like Albright?
• And maybe whats-her-name showing up very obviously at the end. Seems like she intended to be seen by Maria? Well, that's a cliffhanger!
• Neil might be figuring it out.

Big plus of this series... It's not just a man's mind stuck in a girl's body with no change. Rather Maria is definitely a girl mentally, even though she remembers and very much caries her old self as well. (E.g. I think that the "love of cuteness" is a Maria thing, not an Albright thing.)

I'm pretty sure it's understood that the Prime Minister told the king that people were suspecting her of resembling Albright. My theory is that Maria faked her personality when speaking with the king, hence why she collapsed after he left.

Agreed, that's a strong point of the series. Maria is a girl with her own past and experiences, and she just happens to be a reincarnation of a hero whose friends just happen to be the most powerful people in the country. In many GB reincarnation stories, you basically have "identity destruction" where the male/female past basically takes over their current life and overwrites their personality, lived experiences, and everything else. While Maria inevitably gets pushed back to her old comrades and friends, she still wants to be a normal 16-year-old girl. It also helps that she remembers her memories from birth so she can compartmentalize her Albright life and her Maria life.

This chapter made me cry. I love that we finally get to see the king. It is so sad. The king has so much power, yet he feels so powerless that he can't save his best friend. He lives with that guilt to this day. To the point that he won't see Maria as his friend. It is sad to see the aftermath of everyone who was affected by the MC's death.
