[Tiresias]

Spoiler for 312:

As suspected, this is is the obligatory 'heroes getting mauled' following the previous 'plan gone wrong' chapter. That's what you get for explaining your plans in detail to the reader - it never goes as planned. Interestingly, there's no sign of Sextum doing anything yet; now I'm really starting to suspect what's in stored for her.

Still, My guess is that the faint light of hope won't show until halfway through the next chapter. Or probably its last page cliffhanger.

Is there any 'author taking a break next week'? I can't read Japanese...
