Oh I see... they weren't planning on putting Akiko's friends in danger just yet... but rather her family. That is so cold on the Empire's part, traveling back to the old world to grab her parents and trapping them in a dungeon. Thankfully she'll get the chance to see them again after many months away from home, but it may be the last time she'll ever see them too. That will definitely break her if she doesn't give into the Empire's demands... God damn, what a hate sink this Empire is.

I've got a bad feeling about what that captain is planning... and I fear for both of Akiko's friends. I am happy that plan was a success, but I still can't help but feel bad that it had to be caused because of Masako's slaying of several people. The empire is losing and that is good yes, but... I guess the ends justify the means here.

KEIKO IS THE SMARTEST PERSON HERE, pointing out all the weird things Masako is showing since they reunited. Especially the murder thing, the talking to yourself can be excused somewhat depending on what makes you comfortable, but someone so dedicated to kendo rules... yeah that is a problem. So glad she's constantly feeling uneasy about Masako, and she'll likely be the first person to confront her about this behavior... hopefully, and if that's the case I wish her the best.

Ah, Keiko is teaching Akiko how to use magic? So the student becomes the teacher... Her explanation is quite intriguing, being able to focus your energy and channel your magic makes me want to try it myself, stupid reality... That plan of theirs might be crazy, who knows if the infighting will cause a ruckus in the way they hope it will, but what else can they really do? Masako's way of doing it though... yeah I feel the same way, Akiko, something is so off with her and I know just what it is...

Don't blame Akiko for being suspicious of the Seer's motives, even if he is telling the truth there's no telling what he can pull later on. Keiko's such a smartie, I think I like her most so far! Changing up strategies will certainly help Akiko overcome Masako, not just in training either. She needs to try switching things up, or else she'll get sloppy and get more bruises during training!

Masako is right, you gotta keep honing your skills and develop a fighting style that works best for you! Relying too much on Akira's skills will only make Akiko much more of a predictable fighter, so thank goodness her friend is back to help her... even if that sword of hers is still getting in her head. Oof, Kenji getting called out for not being able to save Akira, that'll get to him even more...

I knew that sword was still controlling Masako, damn it! And with how she was arguing with Keiko about staying or leaving this new world, I called there still being more conflict. The fact that being the Emperor’s heir gets you some disdain from your friends’ allies will not help in the matter either. Akiko’s speech about the three of them sticking together no matter what… as admirable and sweet as that was from her, that doesn’t seem to be the case when the friend you just reunited with (and fought with) is talking to a sword in her room alone… I wouldn’t say that is a good sign of unity between you three on her end anyway.

Keiko rightfully calling out the seer and the empire for their cruelty, overcoming what doubt she had about them since arriving, proud of her! Showcasing how smart she is, now for her to go save her friends! And thank goodness she did! That was so close… Okay girls, you three need to find somewhere to lay low and catch up. Because after almost fighting to the death like this, there needs to be some clarification on both sides. I have a feeling that the tension between Masako and Akiko will be over anytime soon as long as the former holds that soul blade. That weapon could push her into betraying her friends…

Masako’s experience overpowers Akiko’s will in this intense bout! The choreography was one of the best I’ve read through, and that’s no exaggeration. It felt like I was watching a medieval action flick with a duel between two reincarnated souls raged on, and yet they failed to see that they are fighting their own friend. And with the way that Masako is showing no mercy… I have to wonder what her reaction will be once she realizes who she’s fighting. I can picture the regret…

Akiko is so brave and caring towards her friends, jumping right in so she could check on Keiko. Masako whispering to that soul sword of hers in an unsettling way, fully prepared to take on the person who killed her predecessor… And the chills Akiko feels when she spots her, not recognizing her as her friend behind that helmet… Oh dear god I’m shaking… I just can’t handle this…

A shame that Masako’s good memories with her friends like that one with the festival will likely be forgotten as she pursues her previous life’s killer. Well Keiko’s steal mission didn’t last long, and this seer is already setting up the confrontation between Akiko and Masako… I pray that Keiko won’t have to see her own friends get killed, whether it’s one or both of them, and be forced to carry that with her for the rest of her life…

That damn emperor is getting on my nerves, really hope that Masako will learn that she’s being manipulated into fighting her own friend and rebels against him in the future. Feels so sick… Yeah, this stuff really happened and she’s feeling the memories flow through her but still… this isn’t just some enemy, that person has been reincarnated as your FRIEND. Here we go… Akiko and Keiko are in the base, but we’ll see just how far they’ll go…

Enchanting weapons or perhaps building some kind of super weapon using magical crystals, very interesting… I have a feeling Akiko will find some way to upgrade her own weapon in order to keep up with more powerful individuals… Lol I laughed at that special bracelet being covered in blood, such an important keepsake should be kept clean, girl! Something massive is definitely being built, as Kenji points out, it really is a superweapon huh? The empire is crazy…

Both Masako and Akiko showcasing their fighting skills to extraordinary levels! Masako in particular having such a unique style with taking out multiple opponents out at once! The upcoming duel between the friends will be heartbreaking, but I won’t lie and say that it isn’t going to be spectacular to read. You write fight choreography so well, amazing work!!

Ech, I don’t drink alcohol at all but hearing about the taste that Akiko described in that just made me retch. I hope they find some good food soon! Also that talk she and Keiko have… yeah saving Masako will be a lot harder than you two thought. On the bright side you will have a lot more time to think about what to do after that! Ah ha…
