Author's Commentary #89:
Time to talk about Chapter 89: Mimi's birthday.
While Mimi gets to enjoy a nice birthday date with Helga, Rika learns more about her old team from Eluf. I actually do have some drafts written for a novel detailing Mimi's past as a spy, but I'm not sure if I'll ever complete it, though I probably will eventually.
As for the traitor plot line, it will be relevant here. While I did include this as a bonus chapter in the original, it was mainly just as a bonus chapter. Here, the chapter has important significance for the story. I won't say who the traitor is outright, but I will say the traitor will play a role when the remake-exclusive Headmaster selection arc resumes after a few more slice of life chapters.
Fun fact, all the Danablu spies' codenames are Danish foods. Mimi is Laks, Hylda is Hyldeblomstsaft, Millie is Millionbøf, Katrina is Koldskål, Eluf is Kammerjunker, Marzi is Marzipan, Vivi is Kage, and Sherry is Smørrebrød.
マルツィ、ビビ、シェリー、ミル、ヒルダ、カトリーナ (Marzi, Vivi, Sherry, Mille, Hylda, and Katrina) are how all the spies that haven't been given bios would have their names spelled in katakana. As for their codenames, ラックス、 カンマーユンカー、 カゲイ、
マジパン, スモーレブロ, コルツカル,
ハイルデブロムスタフト, and ミロンボフ (Laks, Kammerjunker, Kage, Marzipan, Smørrebrød, Katrina is Koldskål, Hyldeblomstsaft, and Millionbøf) is how they would be spelled in katakana.
(If I made any mistakes with the translations, feel free to correct me).
Most of them don't know their birthdays, though Hylda's is actually August 13th, which is the same as her granddaughter, Helga. And just like her granddaughter, her favorite food is filet mignon.
As for the others, I guess I'll give them birthdays now. Katrina's is December 31st, which is New Year's eve. Sherry's is February 28th, which is the last day in February except during leap years. Vivi's is February 20th, and Mille's is July 31st. Marzi doesn't have a birthday, but everyone agreed to have it be November 10th, which was the day the team was originally formed.
As for their favorite foods, Sherry's was cheese sandwiches, Mille was omelettes, Katrina's was parfait, Vivi's was Brussels sprouts, and Marzi's was baked beans.
That's all for this commentary. I hope you enjoyed it.
