About this ebook

Rozemyne now only needs the ruelle fruit she failed to gather last year. With it, she and Ferdinand can brew a potent potion known as a jureve, the power of which will finally make her a normal, healthy girl! Well, probably...

Her joy leads to a flurry of activity as she pours her all into advancing the paper-making industry and gathering more support, all so that she can create a world with more books for her to read. As the High Bishop, she eventually has to travel through the Central District for the Harvest Festival, and in the midst of all this, she even gets her first little sister.

But as everyone prepares for winter, the political struggle between nobles intensifies. Their plots sow discord within the temple, and what happens next will change Rozemyne’s future forever...

Shocking developments abound in this climactic conclusion to Part 3! This volume ends with a series of short stories leading into Part 4, alongside the now familiar four-panel manga drawn by You Shiina!

Ratings and reviews

I still feel like a lot has happened in this volume, having other character got their own pov during Rozemynes sleep is fine to me. Again, I did not regret spending money for this book.

Be prepared. Only half the book is focused on Myne's perspective. But for the first time since I started reading light novels, I feel like the 3-4 short stories after the main story ended were actually needed and not just filler. I can't give 4-5 stars because I absolutely abhor when light novels only concentrate on the main story line for a brief time (as it feels like you're being deceived when you have to pay for the book to find out), but this felt the most natural I've read so far so ill give it 3. Pretty good considering how mad I was when I saw the word epilogue so early. It was close to a 1.

Wow. I can't express how much I enjoyed this volume, it was so good! I have a new favorite character 👾
