I like angst and well-written characters. And sweets. Lots and lots of sweets.

    They know Amon from when Mr. Fool “used” Mr. World to engage with him in the Forsaken Land of the Gods, I think.

    Judging from Monette's familiarity with Underground Trier, it is evident he has traversed these passages countless times. Yet, that level of familiarity should have taught him that barging into a well-lit spot amidst the darkness could easily trigger conflict…

    Nobody remembers the existence of the missing people, so there’s not even a way to tell how often these incidents happen… scary. Reminds me of that memory-eating whale from ReZero.

    I've always wondered. The catacombs are open to the public, and university students often take risks and dance among the bones. Are there truly no issues?

    Seems like everything is keeping each other in check in a veeery delicate balance…

    "Of course, we could relocate Trier elsewhere and resettle its entire population. Then, after five to six years, when the Tree of Shadow has weakened due to the loss of nourishment, we could uproot it. However, by doing so, the other perils lurking beneath Trier would become uncontrollable."

    YESSSS!

    Standing over 1.5 meters tall, her features were exquisite, and her eyes exuded a commanding aura of dignity, demanding submission and obedience.

    What an entrance!!!

    The sword descended, and a figure stood unwavering in the middle of Rue Anarchie.

    Sigh… these poor siblings didn’t deserve any of this. I feel so bad for them. I get why Elodie did what she did, and in a way it was selfless, but leaving your kids all alone like this when they needed you the most is cruel, too. There’s just no good answer. I’m also nervous about the dark path Lumian seems to be leading Jenna down. I do think he’s trying to help in his own way - his mentality is just twisted. (That and her wanting revenge against his enemies gets him a guaranteed ally.) But I really don’t want Jenna to lose her kindness. I want to see the journey of the kind female demoness who breaks all the strereotypes of her pathway! Oh, Jenna. Please stay strong and become happy :(

    Jenna stood in the darkness at the doorway, gazing blankly at her brother. It felt as though she was slowly descending into an unfathomable abyss.

    WHAAA-

    She slowly turned back, forcing a smile, and greeted Elodie with a loud voice, "Mother."

    Just admit you’re worried about your friend, Lumian!

    "I'd prefer it if he wasn't," Lumian mumbled, pursing his lips. "He's just an imbecile, bound to mess things up."

    Wait, actually, does LUMIAN know that the organization he’s in is the Aurora Order? He doesn’t know, right? That explains his attitude towards the newspaper.

    Although Mr. K's gathering was scheduled for 9 p.m., Lumian intended to arrive early.

    Ah, I missed this! The Aurora Order taking the blame for literally everything!

    Where did this scapegoat come from?

    Awww, good for you, Charlie!!!

    Charlie couldn't conceal his own grin. His tone brimmed with warmth and enthusiasm as he replied, "Right? I am now a true gentleman. I'm still in the process of mastering classical grammar. Madame, Monsieur, please allow me to extend my civilized greetings."

    I love their friendship!! Lumian has a soft spot for Charlie but won’t admit it.

    After sizing up Charlie, Lumian couldn't help but smile.

    Dang, this hurts. While Lumian isn’t a totally unkind person, it’s rare that he acts with such a lack of ulterior motives, just to help someone. And the one time he does, this happens… it’s tragic. I hope he doesn’ take it to heart and decide to stop helping people.

    Lumian had aided Flameng in evading the Montsouris ghost, not driven by a desire for personal gain or reward. It was simply because he saw a reflection of his own predicament in the man who had lost his family. One had succumbed completely, descending into lunacy, while the other persevered, clinging to a glimmer of hope and desperately struggling to maintain his grasp on reason.

    This makes me miss Creeping Hunger and Arrodes…

    He made no deliberate choices, allowing Fallen Mercury to exercise its own discretion.

    Thanks for the chapter! That title doesn’t bode well.

    Rest in peace.

    Late that night, inside the gypsum furnace, the tramp convulsed suddenly and succumbed to suffocation.

    I’d say this is cruel, but Lumian did specifically make sure that the tramp had no family left - no collateral damage here. It still feels vicious, but at least he’s taking precautions to hurt as few people as possible.

    It departed from the mercury river and condensed into a droplet that seeped into the blade of Fallen Mercury. Simultaneously, the fate of encountering the Montsouris ghost shifted entirely to the tramp.

    Lumian is ruthless and crazy, but he’s much kinder than he’d ever admit. He reminds me of Gehrman Sparrow in some ways.

    After approximately 45 minutes, he returned to the gypsum furnace, carrying a Rouen meatloaf that filled the air with its enticing aroma.
