Shin is a smithing maniac who doesn't know what "overdo" is and it's fair for her to scold him for that. the bow is probably so strong it needs too much mana too

@degenerateafro - I know for sure as a guy using a 60# Recurve that protective gear isn't just for aesthetics. While I don't have a need for a chest protector, I learned the hard way about using a forearm guard. Thankfully it was when I was younger (22) and using a 40#. Normally a person might just get some painful welts, which happened to me as well. However, I kept putting off buying one -- for no particular reason, really. Then one day as I was shooting in the woods while camping I had an arrow break during release. The broken part of the arrow left a nasty cut below my wrist, and because of the misfire, the bowstring tore off a large piece of flesh on my forearm; in between the middle and my elbow. Needless to say, after the hospital visit I didn't hesitate to buy one anymore.
I kind of just give it all a pass when it's in fiction like this, but I also think many people really underestimate just how powerful a bow is. Which is also, probably, because of their depiction in stories as well.

On page 8, with a bow that size, it really looks like her chest would be in the way of the bow string, especially with that posture.

"People with lots of actual experience, like mom and dad"
She doesn't know her parents are already kinda cheating with player knowledge of the game and it's not merely "actual experience".

Tiera's weapon is amazing, but every "normal attack" she does seems to cost her mana just like using a skill in a game. I kinda understand why she wants to "tell him off" for overdoing it because that enchanted bow, while strong, is just not practical for use in continuous fighting. She'd need to carry a second bow for normal attacks and just use that magic bow for tough and high value targets... otherwise she's wasting mana with each attack especially if the targets are weak and will die to a normal bow just as well. And I don't think Tiera has the same amount of mana as Shin does who probably doesn't know what it's like to run out like she did here.

Man, I just love how Yuzuha also gets along well with the other girls, such a sweetie on page 20. She's like everyone's precious sweet little girl. This would have been unlikely if this were a harem story. I haven't seen any non-enemy who Yuzuha dislikes so far.

I thought Kagerou and Yuzuha will get their turns to show off, but Shin arrives in time to face that dangerous boss. Funny that Tiera's first thought to seeing a strange "knight" coming to assist them was that it's most likely Shin.

I am reminded of the word "Amazon"

The most popular explanation is that the word comes from the Greek words a- meaning "without" and mazos meaning "breasts". This theory is based on the idea that the Amazons removed their right breast to improve their ability to shoot a bow. However, Amazons are depicted in ancient art with both breasts, though one is often covered
