My patience for an official translation broke down and I finally dove into a fan translation of volume 7 of TEIS this past week. Overall, it was great and I had a hell of a lot of fun. Like basically every other arc in TEIS, Cid takes on a new persona/disguise and acts out some contrived chuuni fantasy of his. This is one of my favorites he has done so far and the climax near the end of the volume has me really excited to see it portrayed in the anime eventually. One main difference compared to past LN volumes is that this arc is not done yet. Every other LN volume for the series wraps up an arc by the time the volume ends. So, that is a bit of a change, but hopefully it means the author doesn’t take almost three years to finish writing the next volume.
The manga is currently about halfway through adapting Volume 7, so I think we are going to run into a situation again where the manga will run out of source material to adapt. I will be curious to see what they do this time. Last time, it started adapting volume 7 before the official release. So, it was an interesting state where the manga was the furthest along in the story. With no date yet announced for volume 8, I think it is more likely that the manga will go on hiatus.
Hello Bookworm! I looked it up, and the Library in Alexandria — which just so happens to be the greatest in all of Yurgenschmidt, nay… even the entire world — has the following entries:

Let’s hope the manga doesn’t do a Game-of-Thrones-type move.
