Thanks for the chapter!

Poor kid, trying to understand the secrets of the universe. Everything starts with "hey it's working" to "maybe this is why" to "hey it isn't working" then repeat.

i love mangas that focus on the actual magic and how fascinating it is

First thing to come to mind, of course, with "It's not part of Jupiter's territory..." was "...yet."

Japanese superstitions in a Roman setting feels really out of place.

I don't think elemental spirits were a jp superstition? They had a more varied superstition with their "kami"s and "youkai"s iirc.

Can't actually remember where it supposedly originates from however, besides bland spiritual beliefs (I think the proper term is animism?) from everywhere in the world (but even then most of those are more varied and not truly connected to "elementals" of the "classical elements").
If anything, romans believing in it does make some amount of sense actually, since it was somewhere around that area (greece?) that the idea of those 5 classical elements were invented, iirc (even if personifying it as spirits were not part of that, and if it is related then it is likely some later development when that philosophy encountered and mixed with animism).

I was talking about page 30, the "getting wet makes you sick (but only in very specific circumstances, so swimming for example doesn't count)" thing.

She's such a bundle of curiosity

 

[Wildfire]

An isekai that actually focuses on where matter comes from :O nice.

Oh. Well that is not exactly a superstition, as getting wet in some circumstances leads to getting cold. And getting cold does increase the risk of getting sick (mainly through weakening the immune-system, but also in terms of feeling shit simply because your core-temp has dropped, and there's probably interactions with mild fevers preventing them from doing their job, and overall being a more hospitable temperature for more hostile microorganisms. There's also the possibility of pathogens existing in the water itself taking root, but that would exist in any water and this is more a question of all the factors together producing a noticeable - if far from absolute - increase in probability).

 

[ForTheJerusalem]

Pure water is actually pretty bad.
Also, A WET LOLI UOH.

They really need to make it clear that there is a timeskip. She was first year, and the next page she is second year already lol
