Coming on Friday seemed to go well with a great deal of user schedules, so I do plan to run 11 next Friday, not Thursday.
...Also, I missed an afterword that for some reason was collected with the start of this volume. Instead of shoving it up front, I'll post it at the end today.

And a You're Welcome and Thanks once again to those joining in, whether for the first time or yet again.
>Hizu has no concept of rationality when it comes to Saike.
I'm wrong. He has the rationality of "It's bad if Saike dies because he has more good he can do than this." Of course, in far too many ways, it's singleminded.

Shinonome is natural-disaster tier.
His Oracle is kind of fascinating given the way Oracles manifest.

The Healing God is great. It's like user said about Kumagi, characters like these in Fukuchi's manga are refreshing.

Well, Johann, when you make poses like that, it makes me think you're Robert, and Will's Hanon.

I'm surprised, did they actually get Raj to go along with this without charging over 9000 rupees?

That's an interesting limitation, given how oracles manifest from the user's desire. Though I can see something like that happening if Hizu met Saike before he awakened his power, due to his undying loyalty.

This is probably the largest scale battle in the series and I love it because it build up tension so well for it.

>Though I can see something like that happening if Hizu met Saike before he awakened his power, due to his undying loyalty.
Also interesting.
