this can't be good

It has to be her father. Just look how smug he is, the same aura of smugness that is innate to Kate.
Also, it seem that Ed is not buying Lewis story.

 

[Trashmaster123]

thanks for the chapter

 

[siqueirapowered]

Is he... on their side...?

 

[SomeMoron]

Author why u holding out on us with joseph's face

Is he... on their side...?

Also yeah, i think he is
Rebelion against grandpa, maybe?
They might be pawns, in that case, though

 

[King_Garb]

Man i love this manga, it has things go awry enough to keep you guessing. Thanks for the scans!

 

[Sakidornis]

So the corpse is really that girl’s, Maggy was it? And Edward seemed to notice the slit wound on her throat.

This can’t be good…

 

[KZO]

Personally, I think the Mia's reveal was the most unexpected.

 

[jinter]

This raises the question, of whether there is a possibility that humans might keep their memories and will after the unification, or that he might be similar to Kate someone who was born already unified.

Well he did say Catherine, which is the name of Kate's mom. I hope we get to see Mia's' backstory, must be crazy if the blue pill is the better option.

 

[thanghe]

This is the first time we see his side face.
I always thought he was bald & fat, not a dandy old man...

 

[Hikineet]

Thanks for the chapter.

Well he did say Catherine, which is the name of Kate's mom.

Also, I skimmed through chapter 107 to see if there's anything else relevant there and there was - Kate's name actually comes from Catherine's pet name. If this guy is actually some original resident of the Mirrors House who somehow kept his memories and was close to Catherine he might actually be able to guess who Kate is.

I want to say they should tell Mia the truth, that she will actually die when she became an adult, but I don’t think she will believe them. I am curious what is the author’s plan for her

 

[recklessribbon]

Uhhh. Mia?? You did what??

Thanks for the translation!

lmao can't wait to see her reaction when she learns this...imagine you killed your entire family to achieve something and then you find out, after achieving that you will have to die no matter what

Holy moly, what a chapter! "Undercurrents" certainly is a fitting title, a whole bunch of threads of the past and present are all coming together and the various forces start approaching the point of (heh) moving out of the shadows. Even introduces yet another potential side:

Also, I skimmed through chapter 107 to see if there's anything else relevant there and there was - Kate's name actually comes from Catherine's pet name. If this guy is actually some original resident of the Mirrors House who somehow kept his memories and was close to Catherine he might actually be able to guess who Kate is.

Yep, particularly if he realizes (and he probably could from that briefcase and a bit of investigation) that she must have come from beyond the island. I hadn't really considered it before, but Kate is in fact the "legitimate heir" of the Household. There have been plenty of stories throughout history where even genuinely loyal attendants served new masters because they were convinced those they originally swore loyalty too were all dead and gone forever. But a Mirror turning back up might throw a wrench in the works if this guy is thinks he can restore things to the original family.

Of course an alternative darker path is just seeing opportunity in that Kate might have more potential then anyone as a completely native fusion from birth. If he's interested in overthrowing the GGF, or merely gaining more advantage, it's quite the card too.

All this will be fun in that it could be another piece of the puzzle Kate needs to solve to beat the adults. Even now she'd still have a hard time against a completely unified Adult side. Anthony being an agent and developing his own splinters inside is an aid, and now he has Unification fragments to work with. So is Patrick's powerful soot neutralization. Those still don't feel like enough though. But if the adults aren't unified and are capable of being split somewhat, that could really shake things up. Also if it's another link to the past might be a good excuse to give us some more insight into what happened at the very beginning of it all, and what went into getting things this far.

I wonder if he is going to be an ally or an enemy, for some reason i feel like he is going to help, no idea why

Too soon to really tell but he's giving old butler vibes. Either the original human body was an old loyalist butler who achieved unity by completely falling into despair and became "empty" enough for it to succeed OR he was the fairy "pet" that Catherine personally took care of and he remembers her through those days. It's possible that it was both and the two interests aligned
