After the first chapter I went and read both translated LN volumes. They're really good. Thank you for translating both the LN and the manga. I do wonder how the differences from the LN will play out in the long term.

And some misspellings:

Page 6: "good-quality important good" -> "good-quality important goods"; "sadines"->"sardines"
Page 11: "want to ebrace"->"want to embrace"; "The one to stopped"->"The one who stopped"

I dont feel anything from their date. It is the very thing which is good in novel. Claus, lily, and "several girls with different color hairs". Author never wrote the others with their name/codename. But lily and claus in this chapter, i still remember it. Their training etc, yes i FORGOT everythings.

An incompetent amateur spy accepted a mission with 99% competent spy death rate.
Then tried to bail out when she sees her teammates can't carry her.
I already hate this girl

 

[rluka]

She's bailing the whole team out though.
They expected their team to be gathered because the higher up sees their potential and will prepare them. Instead what they get is a boss who can't train them properly.
The near impossible mission became a suicide mission.

Claus see Lily is able to judge the situation is bad, and actually took a move rather than regretting of her fate.

@versub

but she never accepted the mission. she was assigned.
not to mention what @rluka said.

frankly, i respect that.

 

[versub]

@quagzlor

It was mentioned she was scouted in chapter 1; not really assigned per se.

> The near impossible mission became a suicide mission

It was already a suicide mission in the first place.
Even that instructor/principal figure from the spy education facility said so

 

[AnimuVsMango]

So could you say it's an...
... assassination classroom?

A context about the "impossible mission" they hasn't explained. It doesn't mean the most difficult mission in the world, just like that team from Mission Impossible keep getting job one after another.

Spoiler

In short, "impossible mission" is cleaning up for other team's failure.
After a failure, the spy organization has lost advantage of surprise. The enemy know they are coming and more prepared to put traps for the next attempts.

All the members are not that bad, for a spy in training, but they have problems with personality that kept them back. Lily's case is, obviously, gets over her head easily and made stupid mistakes (she got lost on street, forgot to bring antidote, same voice actress as goddess of the Axis Cult, etc). The rest is, in my opinion, lack of experience required to make observation and think many steps ahead like active spies.

Lily really believe she got potential to be a super spy, and the school can't bring it out.
When recruited, she believe the higher ups are seeing her potential. They will be given a trainer who can bring out their real strength.
That dream is crushed because Claus doesn't even realize he can't teach.
They are not going to challenge the mission with optimism from being well prepared. It will be like thrown into battle without any equipments.

By the way, if this is made into anime, Claus' catchphrase is probably going to irk people like Strike the Blood.

You know, I always thought being a spy was more about information gathering, rather than assassination and combat.

Damn she tried to off him right off the bat
