Thanks for all the hard work you put into scanlating for us! (^_^)
I’m thinking this is more of the “I can fix her” or “I can save her” type things here. We already know that the MC likes taking care of things on her own and overworks herself, and there’s already been some sympathy points with the whole “she’s tough on the outside but looks lonely and sad on the inside.”Your avid Diana supporter reporting in—
My views still haven't changed much. Lapis is cold as heck, everything she does and says feels very calculated and performative, and the fact that MC is swooning over her every gesture can't be explained by anything other than plot convenience.
Or gayness. Perhaps Lapis is simply more of her type.
But that aside I liked how despite being OP on paper the skill has clear disadvantages that need to be worked on practice.How dare you talk back to us you're just a commoner with a gun!
I'd say the opposite. Diana has pushed herself on Natori and given her debatably overbearing affection but Natori has not responded in the same way she has with Lapis. Lapis has had far fewer interactions with Natori recently, yet still, the few words she's said have been more finely tailored to Natori's self-worth issues and have affected Natori far more than anything Diana has desperately tried to do. Hence Diana's feeling of inadequacy. Currently, Lapis understands Natori better but is clearly busy with her schemes, which have kept her away and afforded Diana more time with Natori (yet still even with that time Diana's behind in the game). Lapis is calculated, yes, but we know that she is working behind the scenes. Towards Natori, she's been nothing but loving, if not a bit restrained (as she also seems afraid to fully commit to her growing feelings; remember Natori's "burning sensation" for Lapis from Chapter 5, which scared Natori, who seems to think that level of affection will make Lapis dislike her). Here Lapis shows that understanding of Natori in their brief moment together. Lapis understands Natori and therefore tells her exactly what she needs to hear, explaining that she does have worth and that she must find her own self-confidence, asking Natori to work amongst good people (like Diana and the Prince) who can help her see how amazing she actually is. Diana has done little of that. She's had something more like a teen crush.I’m thinking this is more of the “I can fix her” or “I can save her” type things here.

personally not a huge fan of this since the Lapis route so far has felt more and more like the romance is being created rather than flowing well.
