Manga Chapter 12

## Summary

While Milkit thinks back to her past, enemies of the present have their eyes set on her.

## Synopsis

Sara takes Milkit to a cafe to spend some time with her. Despite her progress in reading and writing, Milkit is unable to fully read the menu which Sara assures her that she'll help her out. Milkit is unsure how to process the kindness that Sara and Flum have shown her especially after everything she had been through with her previous masters, especially Satils Francois. Sara sees taht Milkit is a 'lost lamb', and she decides to do her best to help her.

While Milkit and Sara are walking in town, they are spotted by one of Dein's men. Dein along with his men briefly consider killing to get back at Flum, but they decide that this might be a chance at something better than that. Sara and Milkit spot a supposedly injured man on the street. When Sara offers to help him, the man reveals he was faking it before attacking her and knocks her unconscious while Dein captures Milkit.

While walking in town, Flum expresses her annoyance at Y'lla Jerishin for apparently causing her trouble for her at taking requests as well as contemplating what she needs to do about Dein. Unfortunately, Flum is walking in town by herself until she comes across an unconscious Sara. She then sees Dein holding Milkit hostage. Dein gloats and insults Milkit. Milkit tells Dein that she doesn't mind it if he insults her, but she tells him not to insult her Master which causes Dein to assault Milkit and render her unconscious much to Flum's rage.

Ottilie appears to cut off the arm of one of Dein's men. Seeing that the situation is turning around, Dein decides to make tactical retreat.

## Major Events & Continuity

* Dein and his men attack Milkit and Sara following the events of Chapter 10.
* Milkit has a flashback to her time as Satils Francois' slave.
* This chapter explains that Milkit is a good cook because she was the head chef for her previous Master, Satils Francois.
* Dein kidnaps Milkit.

## Adaption Differences

* This chapter loosely adapts a mixture of various events of the Novel series while doing it in a manga exclusive route.
	+ In the Light Novel, Dein has his men attack Milkit while Flum and Milkit are in the village to gather herbs for Leitch, and Dein isn't there himself. In the manga, Dein and his men target Milkit after Flum and Milkit return to the capital and get rewarded for the successful quest, and Dein personally participates in the plan. Additionally, Dein's men assault members of Anichidey in the Light Novel while in the manga Sara is attacked in their place.
* In the Light Novel, Milkit and Dein are never seen directly interacting with each other. While Dein does order his men to attack Milkit on two occasions, he doesn't do it himself. In this Chapter not only does Dein kidnap Milkit personally, but he punches her unconscious as well.
	+ In the Light Novel, Dein's men briefly capture Milkit during the Herb mission at Anichidey. However, their intentions are to assault and murder her, but Flum saves Milkit before they can do anything. In the manga, Dein kidnaps Milkit and takes her away before Flum could stop him.
* In the first volume of the Light Novel, Satils Francois is not mentioned by name nor in the flashback. However, in the manga, Milkit has a flashback to Satils cruelty much earlier than she would in Volume 03 of Light Novel.

## Character Appearances

* Sara Anvilen
* Milkit
* Dein Phineas

## Trivia

* This is the first chapter to primarily focus on Milkit.
* This is the first chapter since Manga Chapter 04 to be released in full rather than in halves.
* This marks the first appearance of Satils Francois in the manga even if it only shows her eyes.
* Milkit's face after she was afflicted with Mustardo Poisoning is partially shown, and this is the first time there has been a flashback to when Milkit was poisoned.
* Flum indirectly references Y'lla Jerishin, but she doesn't appear in this chapter nor this volume.
* Dein's use of wires is somewhat similar to the gear used by characters in Attack on Titan.
