Princess is amazing as always. And as far as her not having the scissors, well, Princess being Princess I'm sure she could jury rig something from local materials in a pinch (or just summon the forbidden grimoire from afar)!
Thanks so much for seeing this through to the end. I'm still a bit regretful it couldn't be just one more volume, I definitely feel that it got rushed at the end in ways which detracted a bit from the grand finale. But that as much as anything is a testament to how good it was, and no punches...

Awesome, thanks for picking this up. Has a different feel from that other girls taking fighting games seriously manga, but both really successfully get a lot of the feels across to an unexpected degree. A lot of fun.

What a wife. That she beat her opponent not merely physically/magically but completely psyched her out at the end was great too, she followed more of Baiser's strategy vs Lord's. Now we've just got to see what Baiser is going to pull off out...
Thanks for another chapter! I wonder how much we'll see crammed into the final two, the harsh treaty but also Scipio's Triumph and perhaps a bit of the later years of how he and Hannibal ultimately ended up.
Sweet use of more lore, in this Ainsworth worldline Kiritsugu never used up his Mystic Code, so it was still there to be found.
And I guess this at last gives Illya herself a completely selfish personal reason to seek the Heaven's Feel. She is still an Einzbern, and if she was able to achieve...
Excellent, it's time for the Hero「Princess」 to rescue the kidnapped Princess「Demon King」 from the dragon's tower and claim victory「sleep」 over the dragons!
@rrolo1
I don't disagree with you, but it seems like that wouldn't have the same feel either without the events following the Battle of the Great Plains. If we'd gotten to see Carthage panic, plead for peace while Hannibal was still in Italy and Scipio granting it on generous terms, ratification...
Nah, Scipio actually looks worse to some extent in this adaption given it completely cuts the entire intermediary stuff. I think the author was just in a rush at this point. Not sure if the series was pushed to finish by the publisher, or he was just running out of steam, but there are only 3...

I think a major lesson of history was that it's not just cunning, but everything leading up to it, logistics, support from the home front, intelligence, and how victory in battle can itself be a trap in war. Rome suffered heavily at the start, so they were forced to adapt. But Rome...
@Ternekielkotto
Yes, particularly with such a short time to put it into action. I think Kagano did an alright job in this amount of space to try to emphasize how much it was a unique strength of the Roman organization and part of why they were considered fearsome long-term even if individuals...
