"his private life is not our concern, that's not our job"
Um... it is very much your concern, since you're a, you know, detective??! And it is absolutely your job; in fact, you're supposed to do a deep dive into that shit and follow every possible lead and clue you dredge up. This might be the stupidest thing a fictional detective has ever said (≧∀≦)
You fell in love with a tsundere trolling artist--you're in for a rough time, buddy (≧∀≦)
Do your best, book designer-kun. Fighto
What's extra funny is, we'd all be rooting for someone in Diane's position IRL. Working class girl maneuvering herself into a legit palace? Live your best life, friend, get those stacks. We know all those billionaires and modern royalty are quite literally the absolute worst, all looking down their inbred noses at someone who has done genuine labor in her life when they've never had to do real work for a microsecond, spending their considerable leisure time destroying the planet and hoarding cash while half the world starves. Disgust emoji.
Not to say I don't like the Empress, LOL. She is a true Queen, my Queen CAN cry if she wants ヾ(☆▽☆). Grand Duchess Elizabeth is naturally the best candidate to rule instead of her useless brother and she's so beautiful she almost makes me cry! That one red dress omg. You know the one I mean. It's just funny to find myself cheering for all these fantasy-land royals when IRL I'd like nothing more than to see them all at the bottom of the sea.
Oh, Diane, just stuff your valise with all those costly gems nobody seems to be keeping track of and hightail it out of that nest of titled vipers. Open a little shop on a cute meandering gram-bait village street somewhere, pry those diamonds out of their fancy settings and resell, resell, resell (I'm sure they don't have security inscription numbers in that backasswards universe). Eat fancy desserts with one hand while keeping your rude-ass brother in line with the other. The emperor is trash, the palace is a cage, and you've hustled long enough to deserve a vacation. We'll all root for you then! Pfft.
So, I looked it up, and this manga has 50 episodes in total and just finished up a couple of months ago. I hope we will be able to see the whole story! I really like it so far.
... Ra knew what was up the whole time, huh. Waaayy back at the beginning at the trial, remember when she was saying, "Oh, DO tell us, Osiris--WHY were you killed? Is it possible that perhaps you may have provoked Set in some way? Just a li'l? Hmm? For WHAT REASON did you let Set kick your ass and chop you up, care to relate??" like she was sitting up there trolling and Osiris was just like "...", and everybody else was all upset going "um he's the VICTIM here?? how could U". And Ra was like: SUUUUUURE whatever U say LOL
Ohhh my God this is so cute.
From now on I'm going to write all my "do you like me" notes like this:
"will you go to Capital City with me, check one: yes or no"
I love the way the artist represents the way people operate in game chat: a whisper--two people off to the side literally whispering in each others ears; somebody lurking in the chat--JJA hiding behind a light post eavesdropping. Funny!
I think the chapter where we experienced the most suspense dangling in wait for the next one was when we had to wait to see her finals test results, ngl
