Did you know the Elves' goal is to awaken to magic?

Hikaru's going to become a target for the Elves too.

22: Anonymous from Earth

Really?

25: Anonymous from Earth

From what I heard in Gran Alisma, many Elves are diving into the labyrinth with that goal in mind. Elves are basically rich by default, so it's not about money. Most of them aim to gain magic ability and become the Spirit King.

Spirit King... Another new term...

37: Earth's Anonymous

It seems the Spirit King refers to an elf who's proficient in all spirit magic.

Not an elf per se, more like White Brilliance.

It's fine, the translation says "elf," and they look like elves too.

Is spirit magic the same as "Chaos Spirit Magic," which is obtained through points?

Yeah, probably.

The strength debate thread got pretty heated too. Seems the main point of discussion is whether magic can bypass Jeanne's resistance.

It's "Spirit Magic of Chaos," so of course it'd be resisted. Jeanne can nullify spirit magic after all.

I've said it so many times—just the dark fog affecting the battlefield would almost guarantee victory.

So that means Jeanne is a real threat even to Lady Ai. Being able to nullify spirit magic is really dangerous...

That's an extremely clever move, though. You won't get buffs anymore, and healing spells won't work either.

Entering a negative spiral where hunting causes hunger, which leads to more hunting, seems to be shortening the monster's lifespan.

Since Ai-chan-sama is provided food by Nanami-chan-sama, she can maintain a half-asleep state indefinitely.

If we kept monitoring the region continuously, we might catch signs of monster emergence, but there's no real point in doing that deliberately.

several months until the Earth resident arrives, so by the time we reach Alimari, the chance of contacting the Second Group will be almost zero. And indeed, any Second Group members prone to problem behavior would have already

"finished their work" by then

? 432: Earth resident, it's

basically zero. If it

weren't for the Oozawa Mask, we'd probably just laugh at ourselves for being so foolish. 438: Earth

resident, doesn't it just mean

we can just push back whatever schemes they might have, no matter what?

Hikaru would be vastly stronger if they fought

444: Anonymous from Earth

Well, we don't know yet if he's scheming or not. Plus, originally Origami only sees Ozawa Mask and Fell as part of the second group—basically, fellow humans from Earth. We know Ozawa Mask is the killer, so we can talk freely. But if the person we introduced turned out to be a saintly type, would that make it okay?

Fell said something like "It's about time we move" to Ozawa recently, so there's definitely something brewing.

Hikaru's plea came across as being dismissed too lightly—couldn't Origami have said something more?

Hmm. From Origami's perspective, it was just "a Japanese boy suffering from wrongful accusations and depression"—that's all the info she had, so she ended up going to Meltya, right?

Then she finds two beautiful girls, forms a party with them, and Hikaru himself is actively contributing as an explorer—so from her point of view, "Well, he seems to be doing just fine" would naturally be the conclusion.

590: Anonymous from Earth

You're expecting too much from others. Usually, people don't think about others that much. Maybe OriGami wanted to gently guide him as an adult, even though he's still just a 15-year-old boy. Living with distrust toward people is too heavy a burden for someone so young.

What kind of message about Hikaru did OriGami receive?

"Hikaru isn't the culprit. He's not the one!"

"Please tell Hikaru to read this message..."

"Hikaru killed Nanami. The real culprit hasn't been caught yet. Circumstantial evidence is undeniable. As fellow Japanese, only OriGami can judge him."

The boy chosen to replace Nanami, Hikaru, is trapped alone in the labyrinth, suffering mental trauma from a wrongful accusation. Meltya is close to where Origami-san is—why don't you go visit him?

"The real culprit's caught! Hikaru wasn't the criminal after all!"

"Hikaru was falsely accused, but he has a huge fanbase—collaborating with him would definitely be a hit!"

"Hikaru's become distrustful of people, so we're counting on Origami-san's humanity to help him."

—something like that.

There are probably more details if you dig deeper, but Origami-san likely doesn't know all the specifics.

Honestly, messages come from all sorts of people with their own biased opinions, making it not just difficult but nearly impossible to find the truth from here.

620: Anonymous from Earth

From Worigami's perspective, the fact that Hikaru actually met her and said, "You're happily living with two beauties, aren't you?" is everything... There's no point in saying anything else, right? I'd feel the same way.
