It's kind of hard to believe the arc isn't actually over after the beatdown at the Shrine. I mean, sure that seemed way too easy considering how they outplayed the cultists, but there was really no breather after that one. It's one ride to the next.
Enchanted swimsuit-mode armor. This is exactly how the eye-rolling "bikini armor" is rationalized - invisible force fields are somehow generated and applied to all the exposed parts of the body. As a subversion of the trope, I do like that it's not only the girls this time who are forced to show some skin, it's only fair the guys do it too. I'm sure Schnee and Tiera appreciate seeing more of Shin's skin. No idea if Konig has a love interest (saintess Hermie, maybe?) but he could brag later about seeing the famous Schnee Raizar in a swimsuit if he wanted to. He's like a priestly paladin type though. Not even a hint of a blush from him.
Hmm, so Milt is under charm, sleep and confusion. I guess her eyes last time served as a clue. She's also, uh, pretty stacked. And this is her nerfed form according to comments from novel readers.
Either some terrible mistranslation (shitty MTL, maybe) is going on or Milt is a male player with a female character from the time this was a game.
