Lord El-Melloi II Case Files

So is Guénon Ruo's mentor?

That's the logical conclusion of Ergo being initially in a pod with their family symbol. I guess there is the possibility that the Baldanders Gates are all close-knit and sharing with their research so the mentor could easily ask the Gate of Storage to store a guy, but that's a bit of a stretch.

Somehow, Rene Guenon being part of the Baldanders makes sense.

Adventures vol. 3 comes out the 28th next month

FAST!?!!

Narita really scarred proper TM LN scheduling lol

I like the design for the totally-not-Guenon in the background.

So, Sanda made a tweet thread about the announcement, he apologize this doesn't come out on the new years winter Comiket but has two good reasons for it, first while in the middle of writing it his father collapse and got hospitalized and second this will be the biggest book lengthwise in the entire series (Case Files included)

Yeah uh I think that's a good reason! An even longer delay would have been fine with that too.

　そして、極東の地を舞台に、エルメロイⅡ世が解き明かす神の名は――？

Has anyone translated this yet?

"Your face tells me you want to change. Masks exist for people like you."

El-Melloi II was hired by Ryougi Mikiya to rescue a girl name Yakou Akira.
However, the case is expanding beyond their reach. A Japanese magecraft organization setting a silent trap: the Yakou. A disciple of the Wandering Sea kidnapping Yakou Akira and calling himself the god eater Ergo's best friend: Bai Ruolong.
What intrique is behind their conflict?
And what god name will El-Melloi II disclose in the Far Eastern stage?

Nothing new except the opening quote.

Wow, I hope his dad is OK.

Since he did get it out fairly quickly, I'm guessing he had already written most of it?

Sounds very like something someone would say to Grey...

Thanks Comun! So っていう in this context is similar to the word "said" in English direct quotation, I suppose?

Yeah, っていう is a contraction of と言う after all.

Sanda's tweeting that the two Wandering Sea volumes are rapidly increasing sales on Amazon after the FGO epilogue the other night

Gotta love teamwork. One branch of the franchise supporting the other by laying out a trail of breadcrumbs.

Oh apparently Hephaestion (real) was shown in the manga recently

Holy shit, look at those fingers.

Props for the historically accurate burqa worn by high-status women of the Ancient Middle East.

Forgot to post when it happened, but Sanda tweeted some about how Adventures 3 will release this week as the longest Type-Moon novel yet. I just checked Amazon and it says 452 pages, so I can honestly see this staying as the longest Type-Moon novel ever.
