Ruizu is surprisingly suicidal. I supposed having your loved one sacrifice himself to save you might exacerbate one's desperation, but she truely goes overboard -- **actually jumping off the roof in order to die** I cant respect that no matter how much she loved him.
Siesta is .... simply too good of a person. Her taking care of, saving the life of, and ultimataly making an alliance with Ruizu is so unexpected as well. Im finding it hard to grasp her motivations, unless she is some sort of ero-saint or something.
Saito's actions I can sympathize with. He knows how ruizu feels, and he knows that going back to her as a mere weak boy is only going to put her in danger. Putting her safety above his happiness is rather noble for your average teenager. Despite the resignation there, he continues to train and tries to get stronger.
Aniesu: wow! This is the first time she's gotten to show off her cool side, and the first time Ive liked her as a character. She totally put what she thought was right ahead of "orders", and I have to respect her for it. Perhaps the events from the previous volume have changed her personality, and finally she sees the world in three dimensions. A welcome change.
And Tifania. I can only describe her as a present, all wrapped up with a bowtie.
Yamaguchi-sensei is sparing no expense in reminding us of just how hot she is.
In so many ways she is the total opposite of Ruizu, and her near total lack of hubris
puts even siesta to shame. My only exception to her is that... well... ridiculously over sized blobby breasts are not that attractive. (I guess thats her human half expressing )
She has stated her intention to go off adventuring, and I get the impression she wants to go with saito. It makes me wonder what she plans to do with all the orphans though
Don't take on obligations if you have wanderlust babe.
The change of pace in this volume is very welcome.
I get the impression that if saito gets a second chance at being Gardaarubu, he's going to be much more impressive the second time around.
