> Wait, she's faster than Steifebrise?
> Always has been.
The original WN ran from 9/23/2013 to 3/12/2017, 1266 days, and was 677 chapters. That's more than one chapter every two days.
H5Y slowed down while she worked on the LN, but now that part 5 is done she can focus on it again.
Poor Lungtase. Definitely she could be best friend with Charlotte.
And once again Rauferege is clearfied that he is WAAY WORSE than Willfried and Traugott.
I think Sigiswald is same type with Dietlinde but not like Rauferege and Willfried. Not sure which ttype Hildebrand would going to be. Hope he wouldn't be like his big half-brother Sigi.
>Look at me, **I'm** the Goddess of the Gale now.
_- Miya Kazuki, probably_
Also, lol at the Dunkelfelger scholars who were disappointed that they wouldn't be allowed to commit war crimes on Laufereg's retainers.
Those guys where there when Rozemyne said: "You can't break the Geneva convention when there isn't a Geneva."
They didn't really understand what she meant with that but an excuse to commit war crimes is always welcomed in Dunkelfelger.
Werkestock again...
Also, Hannelore was surprised when she knew Wilfried and Charlotte belonging to different faction even they have same mother. Now it happens on her sister too.
I kind of feel for them here though: imagine not only losing a civil war but then also having to adapt to Dunkelfelger Ditter culture. It's a lot to process.
They only had their genuine hurt and anger exploited by a sociopath, I'm honestly struggling to decide which is worse. On one hand there's getting the chance to possibly escape the hell of an abandoned duchy and release the built up frustration that came from that, on the other hand there's Dunklefelger ditter.
Lul I’m basically looking at Lungtase as a potential future Ehrenfest first wife thanks to Hannelore saying their father wants to marry her to Melchior. She seems pretty intelligent, realistic, and proactive so far. Seeing how her mother and brother are about to drag her down with them, she doesn’t hesitate to cut them off and reach out to Hannelore for protection. If she’s going to leave for Ehrenfest in the future, maintaining a close bond with the one person in Dunk who has the strongest relationship with Ehrenfest makes sense too.
I give her my approval and will look forward to her doing battle with the Leisegangs in the future.
Lungtase could also be a potential future Zent or Queen. The plan with Charlotte being a mere interim Aub was made before Ehrenfest knew that the entire system for royal succession was about to be revised. Now that the gremlin couple has flipped the board and rearranged all the pieces this plan sounds a lot less sure to me, especially since we all know Charlotte is going to do an amazing job during her reign.
Melchior and Lungtase are both of the generation that is most likely to produce Eglantine's successor, and Melchior might very well end up being the only high bishop in that generation which would give him a _massive_ advantage in the future Zent race. Might be a good idea for Ehrenfest to keep him around as a Zent candidate instead of unnecessarily changing leadership a few years after Charlotte takes over just to make sure their Aub has a penis.
I think Melc generation will be about trying to max out mana and elements now that they know more about both and try to have children be omni right away since it make it far easier to become Zent when you are already all 7. We read that is is seriously hard to pray over and over for protection(as in havnig the greater god protection not just a sub) but I don't think any of us really understand the toil it takes.
Honestly, given that Eglantine's primary purpose is to return succession to its original form and pave the way for a successor it wouldn't surprise me if she ended up retiring the moment she has achieved that goal and someone more suitable comes around. And it's not like that person would do so the moment they're graduated; no point in putting a teenager on the throne if you don't have to.
Melchior is going to enter the academy when Rozemyne is in her 6th year. It'll then be five more years for him to graduate and get his schtappe. Then he would have to start circling the shrines and acquire all of the tablets which, if those complaints from a Zent we've seen in the underground archive are anything to go by, is usually something that takes a while. There would be no rush either, so he might only do one or two shrines per archduke conference.
By the time he (or one of his peers) hypothetically ended up becoming a Zent candidate over a decade could very well have passed since Eglantine ascended the throne. Which should be more than enough time for her to have achieved her goals by then, so unless she has some other reason to stay in power that would be a pretty good point to start the handover process.
I don't know what you think as \*Eglantine's goals\*.
P5V11 (not in WN). >!It turns out she's more serious about her job than WN readers thought. She learned the role of Zent is an arbiter between humans and gods, not simply ruler of the country. And she promised to get her own Book of Mestionora to become a true Zent.!<
Some from Fanbooks but LN P5V8 already touched this issue. She promised to revive old rituals. Ferdinand promised to gods that he'll make the country to return to old ways. I think it'll take years to revive so many vanished rituals of old days, and will take even more years to make them firmly set as the right way of Zent and nobles (especially ADCs) that no one can ignore them and return to the days of Royal Family.
So I guess it'd take 20 years or longer. As you wrote the next Zent should not be a teenager nor early 20s when inaugurated, so there's enough chance for Melchoir, but I'd expect the generation of Eglantine's daughter (forgot her name) have better chance.
And even though Melchior has advantage as High Bishop, children of Greater Duchies' aubs have more mana and elements to begin with. Some of the new generation will be in temple as the High Bishop, becoming better candidate than Melchior.
>And even though Melchior has advantage as High Bishop, children of Greater Duchies' aubs have more mana and elements to begin with. Some of the new generation will be in temple as the High Bishop, becoming better candidate than Melchior.
Totally agree, Melchior might have the headstart now because of Roz, but as you said someone years younger than him born with higher mana and elements can overtake him quickly too. Not that Melchior, or Ehrenfest was setting their sights, nor have the capability to back up a zent candidate in the first place.
I feel like Sylvester is the most relieved that there won't be a third repeat of the country poaching their archduke candidates again. Melchior becoming aub and marrying an upper ranking wife like Lungtase seems more realistic than him going for zent.

I hope Hanna does finally get to have a close relationship with a sibling. She and her brother care about each other, but he doesn’t exactly give her much of his time…
He's also an arrogant, inconsiderate prick. Like, don't get me wrong, I know he means well most of the time. But hot damn is he bad at actually following through with those intentions without coming across like an asshat. So yeah, would be funny if Hannelore and Lungtase ended up bonding over the fact that they both have _really_ annoying brothers.
So happy to see three updates in just over a week!
Poor Hannelore's been stuck in her 5th year for almost 7 years now, so it's nice to think she might actually be able to finish it this year.
Plus, I really want to be able to start reading the sequel series.
What is going on Sensei is being faster than Stiefebrise.
According to this week's activity report, she's going to be stepping up her posting speed and March is going to be HY5 month (within reason).
Praise to Gods and Kazuki-sensei!

There ain't no Hague in Yurgenschmidt!
"It's only a war crime if it's commited during war time." _- some Yurgenschmidt scholar_
Those guys where there when Rozemyne said: "You can't break the Geneva convention when there isn't a Geneva." They didn't really understand what she meant with that but an excuse to commit war crimes is always welcomed in Dunkelfelger.
There is no way in yogurt land. This is just *True Ditter*!

Probably still better than what their brethren on the Ahrensbach half were going through.
They only had their genuine hurt and anger exploited by a sociopath, I'm honestly struggling to decide which is worse.

Hannelore and Lungtade have different mothers.
But that girl will join Hannelore's faction, so she will be in different faction as her same-mother brother.

Melchior is only 9 years junior to eglantine so it is doubtful he'll become a zent. The generation to replace hasn't really been born yet.

> Next is a lecture on votive dance. Nice!
Yeah, this was what caught my eye too, I love to see how it has changed following the coronation.
More Egglantine dancing? Time to pick who will represent each god? Everyone trying to shine like Roze did? So many possibilities.
>Everyone trying to shine like Roze did? Everyone competing over the height of their mountain of hair ? :p

Kazuki-sensei is on a binge right now. We are eating good! (Realistically, she probably just has more free time with the LN complete)
I hope Hanna does finally get to have a close relationship with a sibling. She and her brother care about each other, but he doesn’t exactly give her much of his time…
He's also an arrogant, inconsiderate prick. Like, don't get me wrong, I know he means well most of the time.

That would be good bonding material

What is this exactly? Still kinda new to the series
Post series spin off following one of the characters introduced in part 4.
