@NateSA_TL you had everything right except the term. What you and Nasa-kun described is called the "Big Rip" model. The "Big Crunch" model, which is more-or-less discredited currently, was the model in which gravity overpowers the expansion of the universe and causes it to eventually collapse in...
@sherlock0790 I'm willing to bet money on the hero being a girl. "Epona" is the name of an Irish goddess, coupled with the appearance. Maybe the mangaka is trying to play everyone, but I bet not.
@Malikoman I'm a little iffy on the priest's words myself:
ですね... -> Desu ne... -> "Hmm... / Y'know... / That's right..."
二人とも朝が弱いのかも -> Futari tomo asa ga yowai no kamo -> "The two together weak in the morning maybe"
その分夜がすごかったり... -> Sono bun yoru ga sugokattari... -> (this is...
@ultimatehaki I suspect otherwise. There was a woman shown in what appears to be a sleeping gown in chapter 1, pages 8, 9 and 10 who by context almost has to be his mother. I believe that the three in the panel you noted are maids.
@Artemi given their lines about 'the empress will put you to death for this' when the empress isn't the monarch and death is hardly a fit punishment for refusing to testify and attempted escape, you can take comfort in knowing they are well aware they are working for an evil bitch.
@azhuresky vital spot detection isn't a separate skill. It comes from how the rogue skill 'sneak attack' is interpreted.
It depends upon which write-up you read, but some will mention that the reason sneak attack is effective is that the rogue is hitting a 'vital spot'. By derivation, that means...
@Satyam_SSJ10 I'm going to add my vote. "Retire" is the normal word in races and other competitions for withdrawing due to fatigue. If you read competition rules, that's the word that would be used for pulling out. In the context of a job, if she uses 'quit' there it sounds like a threat. 'If...
The name that makes me wish that character carves a giant 'P' with his sword wherever he strikes.
"Look at that, Diego! Do you know what that is?"
"No, Pancho, I've never seen it."
"It's.... the Mark of Pinzoro!"
When I was seventeen, I was broadsided by a road motorcycle while riding my bicycle. I woke up in the hospital with no idea why I was there. The last thing I could remember was sitting in the band while we played for a school pep rally, which would have been a full hour before the accident.

Believe it or not, there's actually a mythological basis for this. The Mesopotamian goddess of fertility Astarte was rewritten in Kabbalah as the demon Astaroth. So, remove the demon part, you revert to a goddess of fertility, I guess. Didn't expect such a deep allusion in a manga like this.
