I was expecting that this Kukuri would drag their punishment a little but she dealt with it pretty quickly.
This next arc will be tense, but i have a little gripe... it isnt with the writing of the series, i understand the point of view of those that disliked the last arc but i am fine with it and still think this series holds very well, but... the page count has been a little low, with this series being monthly and the author has been nurturing a taste for long arcs this page count will/is affecting the series, there is only so much you can expect patience of your readers when even if the story still good the pacing falls short.
I understand that art of this quality doesn't come cheap but the author should think about this, this chapter is a good example, until the end, it is very good and well-paced but i think that the fight with the servant should have started already in this one then continued in the next so that a conclusion could be reached soon.
