by Hisago Amazake-no, Kevin Chen (Translator), Kurogin (Illustrator)

Ernie and the rest of the expedition have returned! Along with the shocking news they bring comes change—whether it be welcome or not. While the higher-ups of the Kingdom of Fremmevilla reel from the discovery of an entirely new humanoid race, the Order of the Silver Phoenix must go through what the king would call “creative restructuring.”

However, many questions still remain. What will the kingdom do about their new, very large guests? Now that Ernie is back, what will he make next, especially with Ikaruga out of sorts, Kasasagi much worse for the wear given its construction, and Sylphianne still effectively destroyed? How will the new additions to what is now the “Order of the Silver Phoenix” affect all this?

But there is one matter a certain someone would consider most pressing of Now that they’re back, Ernie and Addy’s relationship is in limbo. They were “married” in the forest, but what about now? Ernie’s number one fan must know!

[Pieter · Rating 3 out of 5]

The volume has a bit of slow start with Ernie returning home and having to deal with some of the loose ends of having met a race of intelligent giants and the need for a real wedding. It only takes up speed near the end when Kid gets into trouble during his exploration of a new floating continent. Ending at a rather big cliff hanger at that. The result is a somewhat entertaining if oddly paced story, especially since the action at the end is mostly from Kid's point of view even if it comes with a new intelligent race and impressive monsters (which in all honest do feel less silly to me than the giants). Don't get me wrong, I enjoyed it well enough and it fitted expectations. It just was somewhat lacking and I have never been a fan of cliff hangers...
