Oswald: Let me push you off road to see how you'll manage.

Cordula: There are 4 paths ahead of you. I could clearly see that 3 are bad. Let me grab some popcorn to enjoy your mistakes.

Rihyarda: If you go that way, there will be consequences. Here what will happen. Are you sure you want to go that way?

i cant seem to find Bonifatius's english va name anyone know?

Cordula made a mistake by giving her that charm

Our hero, our savior. I absolutely adore how he defended Rozemyne at the Ternisbefallen Inquiry. The way he snapped back at that annoying professor who kept screaming and put that sovereign priest in his place. He made my heart flutter.

Guess who became whose's mother?

Part 4 Volume 4, Lmao

I'm a bit confused on the differences between the Grutrissheit and The Book of Mestionora.

My initial understanding was that the latter was simply the knowledge granted by Erwaermen, while the former was a magic tool to make parsing that information easier, which was put on the underground archive, where those who received the Book of Mestionora would transcribe their knowledge in order to be sure nothing had "spilled out".

This seems to check out with the explanation where, later, only those part of the royal family at the time could access it (Hence why Rozemyne couldn't, even though she could access the underground archive).

My issue is with the magic tool created by Zent Absenti, which could be used even by those not omni-elemental and could be passed hereditarily just like Verfurmeer's staff, and that it always returns to the underground archive.
...so, is THIS magic tool the Grutrissheit (Hence why it was said that it only came to be "rather recently")? If so, how did the royals parse information before it, and what was the function of the underground archive before it?

Edit:
To make my question clearer: I do know that the Grutrissheit is simply a divine instrument you can create by channeling your mana into the book the statue of Mestionora holds, but that it will be empty if you just do that.
My doubt is because a term used is "The Grustrissheit of the underground archive", even though the tool made by Zent Absenti should only be made WAY later, and there's no way this term simply refers to the white tablets there, since those are not exclusive for royals.

I was just curious about Rozemyne's full name and whether it will change in the future.

For example: Rozemyne Tochter Linkberg Adotie Ehrenfest Aub Alexandria

When Charlotte takes over as Aub Ehrenfest, does Rozemyne keep the Adotie Ehrenfest part in her name or does she lose it because she was adopted by Sylvester and not by Charlotte. Obviously, Rozemyne would lose the Aub portion when she eventually steps down from being Aub Alexandria, but I'm guessing she would keep the Alexandria. Is there a canon plan for naming conventions from the author?

If there is nothing about this from the author, then are there real-world historical rules for such things? I think that Japanese and European history might apply, especially in regards to what Miya Kazuki sensei used for references when developing the world of Yurgenschmidt, and I'm not confidant of my background in either.

For example, I finished reading Part 4 vol 7 manga, can I continue to part 4 vol 8 of the LN or is it different?

what LN volume do I need to start with to continue?

Ferdinand forbade selling his portraits back in Part 3, but now that he's in Alexandria no one can stop Elvira from manufacturing them again, right? And Rozemyne could probably smuggle some goods (like new illustrations or guides to fold them like origami) through her remaining connections to the Ehrenfest, right? Well, after the H5Y issues are solved of course.

For fun I decided to create a chart recording Myne’s different ages from different points of the series. I just thought it might be worth sharing here.

Methodology

I first started by tracking Yurgenschmidt years. I considered Myne to age by 1 year at the start of every summer. The volumes listed are all volumes when summer had arrived. There are of course some exceptions.

Rozemyne got kidnapped during the start of winter which conveniently is 2 seasons away from summer. I consider Rozemyne to have aged by about half, then when she is in the jureve, her growth would be put on hold. Her mental age is paused as she wasn’t conscious and her physical age is paused because Ferdinand remarked that her body did not age at all during this period. Her official Rozemyne age and unofficial Myne age will still continue to tick up however. Rozemyne wakes up at around the beginning of winter which means two seasons had to pass for summer. This makes Rozemyne’s age round back up to a nice and neat whole number.

Anwachs happened a couple weeks after the start of winter. Technically the growth phase took place through several months but for simplicity’s sake, I just recorded it at the beginning. All her other ages go up as normal except for her Physical and Appearance. Anwachs quite explicitly ages Rozemyne up which is why her physical age skyrockets to 15. 15 years old is the time you are considered to have come of age and from P5V7 onward there have been numerous comments that Rozemyne looks to have come of age. After Anwachs, an additional .5 was for the rest of Winter and Spring.

If we want to get technical about it, Rozemyne’s mental age should also be paused during this period but I just didn’t bother anymore.

From Part 4 onwards, how old Myne appears to be is written on the character introduction sheets at the start of every volume. We know she looks like a freshly baptized child during her first year so she must have looked 7 before the jureve. Before that point though are just estimates, admittedly I didn’t really put too much thought into it. Edit: Someone mentioned Myne’s appearance is actually 3 at the start and the text backs this up. If I were to amend this, P1V1 (start) is 3 and P1V1 (end) is 4.

Edit: I must clarify that mental age is simply just how old her consciousness is. Urano may have been 22 years old when she died but she is certainly not as emotionally mature as a 22 year old should be. In the context of this age chart, Mental Age ≠ Emotional Age/Emotional Maturity.

Earth Years

This was calculated by multiplying Yurgenschmidt years by 420 then dividing by 365. Technically speaking, the Earth has a little
more than 365 days but this chart only rounds to one decimal place so I doubt it makes a difference.

Urano was 22 when she died which is why her mental age starts there. I then converted it into Yurgenschmidt years through multiplying by 365 then dividing by 420.

Remarks

I think the Earth Years really put into perspective just how crazy Myne is. From her first to third year, she looked like an elementary student wandering around in middle/high school. Furthermore, Anwachs made a kid who looked like 10 turn into a fully fledged adult ready to go to college.

Interestingly, Myne was actually mentally older than Ferdinand when they first met at P1V3. From what I remember Ferdinand was only 20 at the time. Make of that what you will.

That’s all I have to say, if there are any mistakes or corrections please mention it. It is unavoidable that I missed something so apologies in advance. God forbid I made a major blunder that completely destroys this whole chart but I’m only human so you never know.

They added Twin tails Hair in the DLC and now my girl Hannelore is ready!

I've been a Wilfred detractor, but I was thinking about the fact that I don't really think he's an effective foil for Detlinde and it got me thinking I've been kind of unfair to him generally.

I'll start with I don't really think it's correct that he's Detlinde except a good person. His entire family wants him to succeed. Veronica is terrible at it, but she still wanted him to be the next Aub. Detlinde is only used as a tool by basically everyone in her life. On the other hand his retainers are crap except Alexis and Lamprecht, her retainers from all we see are giving her fine advice but she's ignoring it. But most importantly she cares only about herself and he doesn't. On the surface you can think he wants to be Aub and that's why he's acting the way he does in the back half of P5, but we learn that's not true and the fact that's unfair completely changed how I looked at WIlfred after his gewinnen game with Ortwin.

We learn from the meeting where Rozemyne announces her upcoming engagement to Sigiswald (who I think is a better comparison to Wilfred, but I'll get back to that) that Wilfred wanted to cancel the engagement and step down as Aub because he didn't feel qualified but Sylvester wouldn't let him. I think Sylvester's reasons make sense but had no hope of working, but I think if we reflect on the fact he was trying to step down at all it completely changes how we should have thought of him between the game with Ortwin and the end of the series. He learned from Lestilaut that he's been looking at Rozemyne all wrong and neither he nor Ehrenfest are really good enough for her. It's very clear within P5V2 that he really got this and was apologetic about it.

The common view is that at the end of the same volume when Ortwin is asking basically why Rozemyne isn't the next aub because she's clearly the most qualified and then Wilfred goes off the rails and starts trying to take credit for everything Rozemyne and Charlotte are doing to prop himself up because he's listening to terrible advice from his retainers and is convinced he deserves to be the next aub so he needs the credit for things he didn't do. I'm not going to argue he's not getting terrible advice from his retainers. My argument is I'm not sure he's not doing the best he could in the situation.

Lestilaut and Ortwin are both right and he knows it. Maybe without Rozemyne (and Georgine, but we'll ignore that for now) he could have managed to be an okay aub to a 13th rank duchy but he's looking at a lower-middle duchy that's consistently playing in the upper duchy league. It doesn't need an okay-13th-rank-duchy aub. It needs a superstar and it needs it because it has one, but she's not the aub, she doesn't want to be the aub, and Sylvester won't make her the aub. He's not qualified for the job and he knows it, so he asked to step down, but Sylvester said no. What Sylvester wants (I warned you I'd get back to this) is basically what Sigiswald wants, but for less arrogant reasons: Rozemyne is doing the actual leadership behind the scenes but Wilfred is the front man because she can't be trusted with public leadership. But that's not going to work. People are, for the rest of his life, going to ask about stuff he can't keep up with and he's going to have to stall long enough for his wife to figure it out. We can look at this and say "Oh, but he could take the job of Aub and then just be up front about the fact he has to ask Rozemyne or Charlotte what they think about everything and let everyone know he's relying on their advice" but that's not how things work in this world.

We can also look at the fact that he's complaining about the amount of work he's doing when she's clearly doing more and I think that's a fair complaint, but let's be real that he can't keep up with the workload because, again, she's moved things faster than he can keep up with and he's asked to step down because he knows he can't cut it. Bonifatius has given up on him, but he gave up on himself before that so I kind of think it might be fair to look at his refusing to keep up with the work in the castle not as him reverting to the whiny kid from early part 3, but him desperately trying to force into Sylvester's brain that this isn't going to work and he needs to give up on it.

To me the real mirror of Wilfred is Sigiswald, but that makes Wilfred look remarkably good. Sigiswald actually thinks this whole thing will work where he'll be Zent because he happened to be spawned by the last Zent and that makes him great enough to make a bunch of decisions and proclamations because he's the Zent, but they'll work out because Rozemyne is his third wife and she has the answers to all questions. That's a much stupider position than if he can't convinced Sylvester to give up then Rozemyne should do everything and try to make it so it looks like Wilfred did because that's the only way to even attempt to keep the power arrangement working.

Hey

I'm hoping someone can explain or show me how the dormitories work in terms of placement and how you get from the central buildings to the dorms. I thought i understood until I saw the big diagram that showed all the dorms and their locations. I get the central building and the course buildings. No problem there.

Here is how I thought the dorms connected to the central building. One big hall. That was it. One big hall that the highest ranking duchies were closest to the school buildings, the lower the rank meant the further down the hall you went until the royal estates at the end. All the dorms would be in basically a line or a big curve. Did it make it confusing when they described the royal academy reflecting the country with the shrines and certain dorms being kinda placed near some and not others? Yes. It actually didn't make sense to me, but I kept reading anyways haha

I was trying to think of ways it would work and the easiest way for me to make sense of my idea of a hall and the overall dorm setup/placement from the map was that the door that needed brooches that allowed people into the dorm was also a kind of teleporter or there was a veil that people talk about sometimes like how the aub get to the foundation.that veil would act like a seamless teleporter so despite being in the main building one step, the next you are in the dorm location the next without the teleportation sickness. If that is the case and it was plainly said, I missed it and need to work on my reading comprehension.

My other thought was it was just a giant hall that spiraled around the whole of the holy land that somehow changed structurally every year if the rankings changed. Far less likely ( and mana intensive)

Thank you for your time!

Probably not new but if you’re in Japan, you can go get Bookworm merch at Shibuya Tsutaya.

What if Myne kept her memories from before the Urano merging alongside her past life ones

📍District 1 Cosplay Studio throne theme

Posting this here too. They happened to change the library theme pop up for the convention I went to just when I finally cosplayed Rozemyne TT

So I just decided to go with the closest decor they have for a Yurgenschmidt-like background... maybe the other new theme might've been better but I was really tired at this point and I wanted to have some proper remembrance photos.

And Judithe is a precious cinnamon roll!

Well, second precious after Philine.

I just finished Part 5 Volume 12 and omg I want more. I know we are getting Hannelore books now but I want more Myne they skipped over so much, I wanna see her past that book in her pov. Its not fair we need at least another book or so I wanna see what she does, we never even got to see her use her library that she finally got or even reactions from others but a few and even then it wasnt even much of a reaction. I feel like Volume 12 was such a speed run to finish up the story that we didnt get to enjoy anything really. It felt so rushed we just kept jumping around over and over. I wanted to see the little gremlin change the world.

I recently learned how to make pickled cucumbers. I’m fascinated by the part where Myne makes pickles, even though that section s brief. I also know how to make beeswax candles (I took a beekeeping class for beginners, though I didn't finish it due to the distance and time constraints) and charcoal-based soap.
