Minus the skimming I did to check on when Emilia reveals her true appearance to Luke, this chapter ends my foreknowledge. That being said, there was one small background detail that might interest people that was mentioned in the WN that was glossed over. The enchantment's five slots and weight limit were the base everybody gets for inventory limits. Even the worst off magically with zero aptitude have exactly that. The more magically inclined have better inventory limits, and of course Luke basically has infinite storage (because of the Goddess giving him that).

Why iron for the rings? Wouldn't silver and mithril produce better results? It's not like a prince, even if he's an orc prince, couldn't afford silver or even gold. I assume 10% of mithril keeps the iron from rusting, but I still don't see the need for iron. Traditionally iron certainly isn't giving a boost for enchantments either, that's for sure.

I think it's because he was just experimenting and they weren't intended to be the final product. No need to waste money.

Isn't he wasting it anyway? He could just use the final composition. If the enchantment isn't sufficient, just melt the thing and make it into a new ring, free of the failed enchantment. Then try again. What is he going to do about these iron rings after all is said and done? To retrieve the valuable mithril, he probably needs to grind the ring into powder and dissolve the iron into strong acid, leaving mithril behind. Quite an annoying process and unnecessary if you ask me. But then again, he can just tell the fairy to do it. Let's hope his storage/workshop dimension has really good ventilation.

Do you know that's possible (serious question, not rhetorical; I'm losing track of some things, since the story comes up with new stuff and rules for it all the time, while the translation isn't always perfectly understandable)? My take was that he just wanted something to experiment on, the mithril content may have been needed to guarantee the minimum requirements for the enchantment he had in mind, so he wrote it off.

Hard to see why it wouldn't be possible. Surely a random enchanted ring isn't something like the One Ring, only able to be destroeyd in the fires of Mount Doom. I mean, if any random enchantment made things nearly indestructible, one would just need to enchant an armor with whatever and anyone inside of it would be like Ultron. It would be beyond strange if that was the case.

But yes, like you said, the author just keeps inventing new rules for the story in every other chapter, so it's probably not worth analysing it too much. I just find it strange he uses cheap iron in the rings, even if mithril turns it into stainless iron (steel?).

Who knows? Mithril is a fictional element, it's anyone's guess what kind of results you'd have making an alloy of it and silver or gold in this world. The story isn't very forthcoming with actual rules as to how things work, to boot.

I used ChatGPT to translate the part where they mentioned "Species level" because it always sounded odd to me, after ChatGPT translated it to "Species level," I asked it if there was a different translation for it, because "species level" sounded odd.
ChatGPT then said it could be translated into "species level," "race level," or "class level," and that in this context, "class level" sounded best. I have to agree, "class level" sounds a heck of a lot better than either of the two former ones.

And just casually transformed it into a quick change ring with functions for patterns and stuff.

Must be nice waking up to her bright face.

That seems a bit overprotective. Someone might hit on her, so remove her from the area.

Giving him all the credit for healing TBC is a good idea. And it is his accomplishment anyway. Standing on the shoulders of modern medicine.

She is calculating. Nice to see that both of the parents fulfill their political roles.

I'm not sure that, "I'll do my best!" fits her. Her daughters, maybe, but not her.

She looks the most determined when she says she's going to give up in a year if not successful. Shouldn't it be the other way around?

"So cute!"
Indeed.

So cute.. dang.. MC.. be strong.
Why? What's the problem with going forward?

it could be translated into "species level," "race level," or "class level,"
It would be easier if we knew exactly what that level improves (novel readers?). Sounds like it's the general base character level, which may or may not be the same as class level.

My lascivious mind is sensing oyakodon even though this is not that kind of manga xD
