Smooth moves Natori

Ooooo it thickens! The Plot, the drama, the triangle, all of it!

Poly! I demand POLY!

It's so annoying... Last chapter had Diana with her eyes glued on Lapis, but then this chapter goes again down with her being obsessed with Natori. It's been going on forever - one chapter gives me hope by having various character interact, the next one goes back on it and has everyone act like some dumb harem romcom character with Lapis and Diana in love with the MC no matter what she does and putting her above their own life and wishes.

Diana standing up for the nobles was literally the perfect opportunity for her and Lapis to discuss and cross their opinions, and for Lapis to act kindly towards Diana, but no, Lapis decided to take a vacation out of the plot when it was most critical.

I wish the story would commit one way or the other, either towards poly or by kicking someone out of the triangle, but noooo - gotta have the isekai MC with several love interests competing, obviously.

Is this the first time Natori has enforced a boundary with Lapis? If so, their relationship just got a lot healthier, especially if she keeps it up. Diana is the one taking all the Ls, unfortunately, unless the story does go the poly route, after all. Natori is well on her way of taming both lead ladies at the moment, though I am not seeing any romantic interest in Diana in her behavior. In fact, the fact that she is so casually intimate with her indicates a complete lack of self-consciousness -- very unlike when Lapis took her hand just a moment earlier.

Welcome to serialized storytelling, where your job is to keep the central tension running until your series is axed. :-)

And thus natori becomes active

Natori has two hands its okay.

Apropos of nothing, Nekotarou tweeted smth yesterday about the contrast in Natori's hugging scenes with Lapis and Diana respectively. A neat lil thing that~

Spoiler on that the second picture is from an untranslated chapter.

I'm not really sure what you mean. Diana admires Lapis, but she's constantly talking about Natori with her. She doesn't have her eyes on Lapis in a romantic way, and nothing in the previous chapter indicated such.

I will say it again and again, there's no other way than poly way for this one. I really don't want any of them to get hurt.

Lapis decided to take a vacation out of the plot when it was most critical.

Odd way of putting "Lapis wanted to be involved but Natori pushed her aside with unusual determination".

Same. But deep down I think we know how this will end...

Lapis X Natori is the only way!! Nah, not the only way, but what I wanna see! no poly stuff, that's cheating! (not literally, but it's like ,less exciting)

Hhhnnnggg. I’m a thirsty little flower. You have to water me, you have to use new fed up office lady chapters

More than Lapis, it's Rubeus who currently deserves the title of the villain, at least as far as Natori's fight is concerned. She's doing well to foil his plans for now, though.

I can't fucking get enough of Lapis neediness and possessiveness. Which made Natori's decision kind rough to read, even though it makes sense.
Also Diana cute.
Also also, I wonder if Natori caught on Rubeus messing with Diana already.
Thanks for the chapter!

oof, everyone is going to be hurting soon I can feel it

The new chapter 14 is missing two pages that someone can let Arite know about and the effort is appreciated despite waiting 2 eternal months

I just eant the heroine to have a happy ending too dang it. Curse these love triangles with extremely good characters

Is amazing how fast Rubeus went down the villain route, and I can't be the only one getting some serious repressed gay vibes from him, can I? He's coming off as a mirror of sorts to Diana's attachment to Natori, in the sense that they're fixated on the person they built in their mind but not on the real person.

As an aside, I don't get why so many people want a poly ending, I feel like that would cheapen the themes of the series and feel like a cheap copout.

The "Nat" in "Natalie" stands for "Natural 20 on all rolls involving rizz with crazy girls".

We want everyone to be happy. Also it'd be hot. And I don't see what themes would be cheapened.
