The usual tea.

'Gilmuna Tea: Standard. A plant native to the Ring Pillar Continent, near the Borneid Volcano. Its leaves gather the essence of fire spirits; when brewed and consumed, the fire spirits within the body go berserk, causing a state of frenzy. When diluted, it can also be used as an aphrodisiac. A very expensive medicinal herb, occasionally cultivated around volcanic regions.'

I didn't expect Ferdinand's influence to have such a strong effect. As viewers, we were surprised. Both Hikaru and Jeanne are the type who hide their fragile hearts behind tough exteriors—when that shell breaks, their weakness shows immediately.

Since this is the Hikaru thread, you might not know much about Jeanne-chan, but Jeanne-chan does tend to be like that, you know. Especially before the transfer, she was often said to be emotionally unstable.

203: Earth's anonymous user

I don't know anything about her life before the transfer...

210: Earth's anonymous user

Jeanne lost her biological mother at the age of twelve, and after that she was taken in by her uncle and aunt. Being raised by a single parent to begin with, then suddenly being placed under the care of unfamiliar relatives—it was probably quite awkward for her.

And at sixteen, she ran away from home and started living alone while working part-time. According to her coworkers, she never opened up to anyone at all back then. By that point, she was already the kind of person she is now—reclusive, a gamer, withdrawn.

That's probably why she wasn't mentally strong.

214: Anonymous from Earth

Her strength in battle is partly due to her lack of value placed on her own life—she's practically indifferent.

218: Anonymous from Earth

As Jeanne herself said, it's a gift from her Life Force Level 5. In fact, she probably consciously recognized her own weaknesses, which is why she chose raw physical strength over spirit power.

Honestly, just watching Hikaru and Jeanne's broadcast is already overwhelming.

I mostly just catch up through summary sites or compilation videos

Unlike you, who's unemployed... I'm not...

301: Anonymous from Earth

Well, honestly, the edited version does allow for a calmer, more enjoyable experience. The edited version has higher quality, after all. In Hikaru's case, since there are so many related transfer participants, the edited version makes it even easier to follow everyone's movements. Just watching the three different versions of Hikaru's edited videos made by TwiN/SiS is already a lot. Adding real-time commentary makes it completely overwhelming—so intense that even being unemployed wouldn't make it any easier. Why is a day only 24 hours long?

I confronted Fel with, "When are you finally going to take action?! It'll be too late if you wait until the message comes back to life!"

It seems like Fel ordered us to hide our hostility toward Hikaru. Changing our names and making us wear masks—that was Ozawa's way of giving us a fresh start out of goodwill... that's what the public thinks.

I just assumed it was purely about countering Hikaru and the second-wave transferees.

Hikaru isn't ready to kill someone—doesn't have that kind of resolve.

Maybe he's not worried about being killed, but he might be thinking of killing Hikaru before Hikaru gets suspicious. Ozawa probably underestimates Hikaru, since he knows about Hikaru's past as a shut-in.

You're misunderstanding the temple personnel.

They believe being eaten by the Great Spirit is the destined fate of the beloved ones, so they wouldn't come forcibly to capture anyone. They see willingly fulfilling that duty as the "honor" of being a beloved one.

The temple brainwashes them from childhood with that "honor."
