"Bracha's homework"? I thought the bracelet was from the Silken Petal leader?

Bath fun. Bracha being Bracha, as always. Glad to see Agni found a fellow former man.

Haha, poor Gates is dying from embarrassment. :)

You're posting your replies twice. Accident?

I don't think this was mentioned, but I could have missed it.

Could be because they made her emotional trauma from her past life resurface that she feels stronger against it now.

Now that's some homework, hoo boy. That certainly confirms that author plans to introduce male intimacy as well.

Since quite a while, the status that was previously referred to as "First Death" (when you die and get the debuff) is now referred to as "Second Death". Why is that? I thought it was a mistake at first, but it's been occurring more.

I think something as important as the fact that the first death / second death system apparently doesn't work inside shards should have been mentioned earlier. The whole time, I was under the impression that the party members were just sent to their respawn location. Why didn't they have one of those return crystals that Agni und Katrin had during their first shard adventure? Wasn't it so they could escape from the shard if things got dicy? Or is it something like "the shard blocks the use of return crystals and they only had the return crystal for a quicker walk home after the shard adventure"?

I think what really broke him was being treated like he was mentally ill or perverted by teachers, students and his so-called friends.

Stole love... Netorare?

However, it feels weird that everyone seems to be taking death so seriously in this series (even first death).

If you die before the weakening effects of first death wear off, then you stop being an adventurer and become a normal. You are then teleported somewhere random in the world and lose all memory of your adventurer existence. Not too bad honestly, compared to living as Gaines's toy.

Oh boy, so the instant they joined, they were already done for. What a truly devious trap.

Honestly, who could expect the chapel they join to be a trap that enslaves them magically? I would say their decision to try it out and get out if something happens was pretty reasonable from what they knew.

"you can leave at any time... provided you break through our mind control first"

I will never understand sadistic people.

What a cliffhanger with the new look. XD At least I can simply read further.

I knew it was Shula! It had to be xD

"It's a part of my body. Why wouldn't I be able to control its size?" Well, can you control the size of your head or hands? No, unless you have a special skill like Agni's extend thingy.
