Thanks for the new chapter!
NGL, there are few action the past few chapters but it really was a battle of wits.
The bit about Blight-sensei was just brutal. Like he was given the mercy of not remembering his torture earlier, but then it was returned to him and that scarred him even more, only to realize he is about to be offed for real. If ever he reincarnates, he'll probably remember that all throughout his next life.
Also funny for Rona to still underestimate Makoto. She still lacks the imagination to even consider that all the personalities around Makoto are not just acquaintances and/or 'employees' but rather direct servants. Well, they did not know yet that he took down MItsurugi and his adventurer companion singlehandedly. Really, no wonder she lost this battle of wits agains Shiki.
