I loved how, when little Tom mentioned liking the white spires, it gave Elias a slight traumatic pause, reminding him of the odd description of the Common Ground project. And there's the "Truck-Kun" saying "isekai time, buddy!" It's also cool that it was a case of a distracted driver who just looked at the GPS at the wrong time, not just a plain coincidence of a random accident involving a random person. I can't wait to see what awaits him.

A nice way to introduce Elias and his motive to spend time with his family, which his architectural work seems to get in the way of, with its monotone cycle that we can tell he is just sick of. I like the bit of mystery here that Peachy is not at her usual spot, and then the new project for Elias is obviously no normal project, but could lead to an epic journey/experience.

I think that's a cool thing you brought up that life comes in turns, and although we always want "our turn" to attack and make a move, in reality, we need help from turns from others that aren't our own to be successful. This reminds me of how God is in control and uses a game controller like Kakashi does, and although we always want to do things our way, God has better plans for us, even if it means skipping our turns for other wonderful things to happen. Thank you for this story, Alita. I certainly enjoyed it!

Quite a fun way to end the story with the rampaging princess's antics. Haha, to counter the empire's threats, Neila threatens to drink. Even the constitution needs an amendment to not give Neila alcohol! But wow, nothing like an entertaining end with Neila having a drunken episode.

It's cool that since all long-range moves don't work, Syorin had to shine since she's the most capable of close combat. Neila doing her funny dance was the best thing ever, haha. It's like those Pokémon moves that lower the opponent's guard by acting cute. It was also cool to see the rebels and imperials work together to stop the white dragons. Baronnt and other imperials thought of mind control using the destructive nature of white dragons, but in reality, it's not something to be trifled with.

Not going to lie, this was a powerful chapter. We finally know about Syorin's regret of being the weakest of her family and gathering light energy to one day return the favor of saving lives like her siblings did for her. Kakashi feels that he didn't have much of a family in his previous life, cherishes his new friends as family, and refuses to let Syorin sacrifice herself. Really, I was deeply touched and speechless when I read this chapter. A very precious moment between Kakashi and Syorin.

It's interesting that Kakashi also needs to use the barrier for different uses, like turning it off and on to nearly avoid the enemy's turn and buy time for allies. I feel the suspense that something's about to be revealed with Syorin and the tree branch. I wonder if it's relevant to the dove necklace earlier. But wow, Syorin is not her cheery self anymore, which means something.

I see a funny little pattern that Baronnt keeps trying to make an entrance and somehow keeps failing. Loved all the problems Kakashi is challenged with. He only has Syorin and a drunken Neila he cannot control. He also knows that giving Neila alcohol may help win, but it's too risky considering how destructive she would be. He can find Four, Five, and Astill for help, but is also considering that Baronnt is using the mind-controlling stone, which could potentially affect them too.

I like the new presented problem that, although a drunk Neila got the party through the jam, they have to somehow calm her down since it wouldn't look good if they want to restore peace between the nations. And wow, I wasn't expecting to see Five at this chaotic moment, haha. But, dang, Neila was just an absolute beast.

I liked how Kakashi's strategy was being challenged here and considered different factors, like Four's three-turn charge for a superpower, or exploring hidden extents of Syorin's healing abilities. Man, I was laughing so hard when it all came down to giving Neila vodka and turning absolute psycho to knock down the elite and the door itself!

Very cool that we see the party face off with Baronnt's elite, and they were totally prepared for every type of move. It posed a huge problem, and Kakashi knew they couldn't continue a standard battle but had to focus on escaping. Love how Neila was just digging random stuff like the "banana peel" oil. And there's the chicken suit! Haha, that truly made my day.

Pretty funny that common imperials and lower-ranked soldiers are much more unaware and aloof about Neila despite being a runaway princess.

It's pretty smart of Neila to use the imperial stamp message to turn the empire against Baronnt's private guard. Man, 900 explosives? I learned not to question what comes out of Neila's bag, haha. The pen that can write anything reminded me of that one episode of Doraemon where he pulled a pen that can do any homework or paperwork effortlessly.

Haha, I knew Neila had lockpicked her way and stolen stuff from the castle before, but man, she wasted no time causing absolute chaos. Makes you wonder if alcohol would perhaps increase Neila's speed and attack. That line of releasing drunk Neila into the castle would result in the nation's independence by tomorrow, assuming she didn't destroy the country. That absolutely cracked me up.
