The popularity poll forgot to list #0, chapter 118.
...Well, joking aside, the bittersweet-ness of chapter 45 probably has an edge over this one, to me.
I was hoping I would see on there chapter 55 where Frieren and Fern team up against shadow Frieren... I often reread that chapter just because it was so epic how shadow Frieren used the so-called pinnacle of magic to slam Fern against the wall seemingly without even utilizing magic. Shadow Frieren looked badass fighting with her hair down in that moment, too. Anyway, I guess most people forgot that chapter, but I won't. Power levels matter to me!
It seems like Rivale got "something"... did the future get changed? I'm guessing not, since that would make this arc sidetrack the entire novel for a while longer, probably without either of the kids. Anyway, I won't feel completely reassured until I see Frieren come back to Fern and Stark (I wonder if time passed at all?).
