With her apprentice Yuicia and the little cat-sith Kuro gone, Chise resumes her daily life in the Wasteland of Nothingness alongside her trusty companion Teto and their twenty-odd attendant dolls. Over the years, what used to be a desolate, barren land has turned into a beautiful, lush forest and the new tenants from the floating island have left it busier than ever, to Chise’s delight. But these changes soon catch the attention of the nations next door, and it isn’t long before they start making “housewarming visits.” Unable to live in hiding any longer, Chise has to do the one thing she’s been dreading the most: open the wasteland to the rest of the world.
A nice wholesome comfortable slice-of-life chapter to Chise's story with a bit of action near the end focussing a bit on the characters from previous volumes more so than meeting new ones. It was an entertaining read, exactly what I expected from the series.
This is the point where I stop. I have gotten tired of the non-existent slow life. Also, this series touches on a trope I have less patience with these days- the loli baba. So I guess after 6 volumes, my patience has run out.
It's a bit fragmented compared to usual because there are more character POVs, but it's still a good read. I thought for a terrifying moment it might be the last in the series and was deeply relieved when I realised that wasn't the case.
