Leaving the Western nations, Satou and his companions visit the Great Forest Labyrinth. In the fortress city of Arcadia, which serves as their base, they encounter an extraordinarily beautiful girl who looks exactly like Lulu. While helping her revitalize her general store, they set out to conquer a new labyrinth… But what challenges await them?
Nothing really big happening this time. The gang is fighting big monsters on their own in the wilderness after asking Satou to take a step back while Satou himself is enjoying a slow life as a shopkeeper and crafter of cheap insect repellents and good tasting trail rations. The gang is getting there, slowly being able to defeat powerful demons on their own. Anyway, nothing surprising, but a fun entertaining popcorn read carried by its crew more than its plot which is exactly as expected.
Note that I noted quiet a few minor mistakes such as e.g. assigning actions to the wrong person, using the wrong words and so on. While for me none of them were disrupting my enjoyment of the story, it is a bit sloppy, and I know it is more of a gamebreaker for others, so be warned.
Satou and his friends reach the Forest Dungeon. There, they meet beast folk who don’t like certain people. We get some slurs here and there and a few fights. The girls want to grow stronger without Satou, so they go off to train for several days in the dungeon area. We find someone who’s the spitting image of Lulu except she is blonde. All in all, good stuff.
The usual fun, but this volume seemed to have more errors than usual. Things like using the wrong currency, location, and descriptions made it harder to follow.
Please continue the anime! One season for a series this good is criminal! This book also felt a decent length this time too. Good work on expanding the story, author.
Yet another addition to this wonderful series. While each book has a lull that can make reading a bit tedious, it always bounces back and finished strong. I love this slice of life in a fantasy world story. Worth every moment spent reading it.
Was a fun short adventure. Sadly way less focused on Sato but was still nice. Felt like the adventure ended faster than usual but might be deu to not being Sato focused
