Good news: after the events of the last volume, Myne is safe. Though we see Ferdinand take a peek into Myne’s mind. It is fascinating to see him reacting to Japan. As there are so many things of the modern world that differ from the fantasy setting. Japan looks progressive in his eyes, while for Myne the fantasy world seems conservative.
One of the saddest parts of this volume is when Myne looks back at her life as Urano Motosu and thinks she never truly appreciated how good she had it, basically. Most of the time when death takes someone away, we think of the people living on and their regrets, but for Myne she was the one with regrets when she died. We see Ferdinand empathizing with Myne’s sadness; this shows that perhaps he can trust Myne and she should not be as cautious around him
Myne has done a good job dealing with people, but the Ink Guild is another matter for Myne that she needs to be more on guard about. Though the crowd in the Ink Guild is much worse than the Merchants Guild, Lutz being harassed accelerates Myne staying at the temple. In a way her being associated with them comes in clutch for him. But still, Myne will now need to adjust to living without her family sooner. The big point is that the attendees aren’t allowed to be family for Myne.
The extra is even more interesting because Ferdinand mentions to Karstedt of him adopting Myne. At the very least it is clear, as more people notice Myne she has to integrate into the noble community sooner rather than later. Add this to her staying in the temple sooner than she wanted. Myne has a lot to deal with in the near future.
