Dirk is way too adorable. His relationship with Delia is also very beautiful. It is also nice to see how much everyone wants to maintain what Rozemyne has built.

Hartmut finally released his power levels. Like many have speculated, he has known for a long time.

P4V5 had this bit:

“Still, Hartmut... I’m impressed you noticed that,” I said.

“Lord Ferdinand and Lord Justus have taught me much about you, Lady Rozemyne. I am glad their teachings have already proven useful.”

Um, wait... Excuse me? What exactly are they teaching you?

Hartmut went on to describe everything he had learned. “This will be necessary to contain your chaos within the Royal Academy, Lady Rozemyne,” he eventually concluded. I had no choice but to reflect on my own deeds and weep.

Did you have to tell him EVERYTHING, and in that much detail?! Stupid, stupid Ferdinand! Stupid, stupid Justus!

There is a fan translated chapter which I think would now be rather safe to read now. It will most likely be printed in Short Story Collection 3 but that has not released even in Japan yet, so we would have to wait for a long time to get it officially in English.

P5V6 sales bonus chapter

It is from Hartmut pov. I would not click "Next/Prev chapter" or "List" if you want to avoid spoilers since there are chapters up to P5V11 on that site. (Ok, P5V5 is safe too, but I would not go further than that.)

Reading the P5V5 one, I suddenly feel much worse for Dietlinde's retainers. I had though they had simply neglected to restrain their lady duing her meeting with Magdalena, but they were in fact unable to be there.

Well... only in part. Detlinde already started spouting treason, while still walking through the upper level of the archive, before going into the place were her retainers couldn't follow.

While they are not mentioned, I'm 100 % sure she would have come with retainers and left them in the downstairs waiting area. With how natural it is for nobles of high rank to always have at least a minimal retinue with them, it would be more natural to point out when there aren't any retainers, than the other way around.
