Gotta admit, Girold choosing Alicia so early put a damper in the whole harem concept, even if it was obvious from the start, so I was half-turned off of the story for that very reason(esp since Lily and Suzu always get short ends of the stick while Alicia doesn't... at least half of the time). However, I'm kinda interested in seeing how his plan will turn out, even though i'll probably get to the end of the current translated chapters(which is chp 32) before it does.
