Thank you for the monthly dose of ÜBEL.

The fanarts is also amazing. Himmel & Serie fainted after moe-moe attack.

I'm complaining because the author usually does a good job with theses things, but here he slipped.
Youre forgetting that the first group Frieren encountered was literally a State Assassination Agency. Stable, functional government, rational decisionmaking, and paranoia fueled safety precautions are not traits of megalomaniacal tyrannical dictatorships that are willing to spend millions on tearing down and replacing monuments and have roving assassination groups just hanging out in border towns while Secret Police walk in broad daylight in uniform through the capital.

embezzelment, overreporting, underperformance, assassination, and being able to sell any lie are the survival traits of citizens of The Empire.

This chapter is the reason why the 1st class mage exam is brutal af. Only 1st Class Mages can pull these shenanigans off.
I swear ever since the anime ended, anime-onlies underestimate 1st Class Mages and criticize how the CMA conducts the exams.

You are not making any sense at all, do you live in a bizarro world? The more tyrannical a dictatorship is, the more paranoid it is and the more it is going to answer heavily against threats to itself. But that is not even needed, go be a foreign agent stirring shit up in ANY country in the world, if you get caught I can guarantee you are not going to be treated lightly.

I don't remember anything pointing that the empire is tyrannical and megalomaniacal. They are like any big state in the world.

And this is your headcannon. Not only that, it has nothing to do with the Special Forces of Magic.

I live in a world where we had Nazi Germany, Fascist Italy and Spain, and currently have North Korea, the Russian Federation, and West Taiwan to rapidly name a handful of entrenched and historical dictatorships, while two cults battle it out for supremacy over the seat of ultimate power. Embezzlement, corruption, and jockying for authority while also appearing harmless are the foundation of success in them

you definitely dont have any deep History foundation considering that people were criticizing this plot the second it started this spy subplot for being "Freiren vs Generic WW2 Evil nation". Its particularly bad having podcasted through World War 2's The War Against Humanity series on youtube because, other then the assassination squad Freiren talked into retirement in the first chapter of this arc, The Northern Empire has been shown to be structured, organized, and operating exactly as The Angry Mustache Model's nation did.

Oh yeah it's back.

The pay off when Frieren/Fern/Serie "solve" the Empire's magic theory would be neat.

Wohoo it's back! Thank you for the TL as always!
I really like the way they figured out how to get out of the tower
