#volume 12

Chapter 63

So, this spell got out of hand when the creature fed on his blood. And the time Coco's spell was way too powerful, it was because the brimmed cap mixed his own blood into the ink... I'm not sure if this is where it's going or not, but is it possible that has something to do with the history of the witches who used magic for healing? Like, I'd imagine if they're working with a lot of injured people, getting blood mixed in with the ink is going to happen at some point, right?

Coco looking at that monstrosity and thinking, however briefly, if it's possible she was responsible for it. I mean, given that she was never told why her spell at the staircase river went out of control, it's understandable she could think it might happen again.

Chapter 64

Ah, there was a second seal that the water was heading towards! I was wondering how Agott was able to somehow make them go directly to the sewer.

(Not gonna lie, that is the only scene I distinctly remember from that movie)

A store of blood, you say? That could either be very useful, or veeeery dangerous, depending on who/what gets there first. (Wait... they know how to do blood transfusions??)

Chapter 65

YES!! GOOD JOB, COCO!

Exactly -- if there is any witch you can trust to skirt around the rules for a good reason, it's Qifrey! (.... graaaaanted, I'm still not entirely sure what to make of the mind wiping thing. I mean, I assume he has a good reason given the kind of person he seems to be, but that also shows he is willing to erase memories for what he considers to be a good reason, right?)

"With the appearance of a young girl"... is she not actually a child? I guess another brimmed cap did mention something along the lines of forbidden magic being able to let you stay young forever. So, that is a possibility.

Is that ink she wants to give the king? Is their goal to reveal the secret of magic to him?

Ooooh. The person whose memories you stole, coming back to save your life.

Chapter 66

Ininia actually does look guilty, hearing that Galga is someone who prioritized saving people. Whatever her motives are, she probably does believe she has a good reason for doing what she is doing. She certainly seems less unhinged than the other two brimmed caps we've seen so far... even if she is still cool with threatening children.

Adults can be apprentices too? Huh. That actually makes a lot of sense as the solution to allowing Galga stay with Atwert then, even without his memories. That's gotta be tough though, caring about somebody so much when they don't even know who you are.

Galga carrying Ininia makes her look so small. I didn't realize how small she was.

Chapter 68

Chapter 67

I get where Tetia is coming from... but there's a pretty big difference of consequences between learning how to properly clean and bandage a wound, and revealing the secret of magic. One of those things might get you an undeserved scolding. The other could get your entire mind wiped.

COCO WHAT ARE YOU DOING?! Qifrey is supposed to be the one protecting YOU!!

Oh. He is maaaaaaaaaaad.
