2.5 Stars.
The Dragon Lord Battle and the Carriage Lines chapter were really lackluster. Azusa started to get a bit annoying in this volume (especially the pyramid one), so I'll probably take a break from this series here. The Rosalie parts were really cute though (one peeve: she's already teared up in a previous book... Azusa should know by now that ghosts can shed tears. And yes, we know, they're not corporeal; the floor will not get wet). And Flatorte is great as ever. The Beelzebub sidestory was nice as usual. I liked the first one better than the second.
And look, what's happening with the fashion in Thursa Thursa... we have a minister dressed as a modern maid but crop top, but we also have the whole Not-Egyptian shenanigans going on (A faric that wraps only the breasts? I came here to rest my brain not Mash it up)... Well, they also have computers, I guess... Yeah, let me shut down my brain again. It shouldn't be turned on for this book. I love Benio's illustrations though, don't get me wrong, but did they scramble my brain? Yes.
Anyway what was happening in this volume? Perhaps my mind is scrambled or something, but there were some sentences I didn't get. And this is Killing Slimes, not something like the Fall of the Roman Empire or whatever...
I mean, what does this even mean:
"Well, I am the demon king..."
Yeah, she's right. If I searched for demon on a computer in Japan, I would get pictures of cute little demon girls. Really, it made more sense for a cute girl, rather than a repulsive monster, to prank people.
Or this???? Yea girl we get it, you're 17, StraightTM and have a boob size complex. No, seriously, what was the point:
"Humans are among the creatures unable to detect its presence."
"Hey, don't call people creatures."
That was terrible. I am eternally seventeen, by the way.
If this sounds negative it's just because it feels worse than the previous volumes by a fair bit. It's not a Political Intrigue filled Genius Fest, I know, but compared to the other volumes it's a bit of a letdown. I'll take a break from the series here, but will probably get back to it eventually.
