Thx for the more detailed Arpeggio analysis, Ryll, fully agreed. And I really like her, too. I never liked genius/prodigy characters, though. Be it Neji, Sasuke, Kirito, Byakuya, or the many others. Itīs so much more enjoyable to watch a miserable, but strong-hearted hero eventually grow strong. Arpeggio is all that, she just never got the chance to go out on an adventure. Itīs actually really sad how such a great girl is wasted in that dead-end business of hers.

Btw. I totally forgot about the "portal closing and opening". Was there any mention about how long it stays open? This is SUPER IMPORTANT news for the JSDF! Unless they find a way to keep it open (which would be so much bullshit), they can forget about all their conquering plans Fuck you, JSDF! Haha!
And suddenly it makes a whole lot sense for Zolzal to keep fighting for his kingdom. He only has to keep up the resistance until the portal closes.

The only problem would be if the JSDF throws millions of tons of military equipment into their world and leaves some of their men, only to spite Zolzal. Which wouldnīt fit the attitude shown so far.

Keep it up, Zolzal, time is working in your favor!
