God Sasha…you don’t deserve this. This is so bad, he’s pulling her on a string to do things, then maybe get to spend some time with him (that will never come). God he’s a dick. 

K, that was so freaking tense. But that oddly went a LOT smoother than what I thought was going to happen. Or at least, a lot more classier.

Oh I can already tell that this is going to be so so bad. Because Philly is just trying to be nice, but she has no idea what Lucy is dealing with. And that’s just gonna set things off.

So that’s where I am going to stop at the moment.

It is nice to see Lucy being able to relax and enjoy their day. Looking amazing as always.

I love how we get to see the different interpretations of who Lucy is. To the street-kids, they are Eyepatch, the nice one who sneaks them food when they aren’t looking. And they only sneak food for the kids, because they pay for themselves.

Then you see Ramone seeing Lucy as egotistical, annoying, and thinks they are better than everyone. Which while her mom seems to listen to, also notices how Lucy helped the kids get food. Not something an egotistical person would do you know.

And their house is so chilling. Like, not even a goodbye or note or anything from RotHeart? Does he just do evil villain mourning in the morning or something? Throw Lucy a bone!

All and all, wonderful chapter start.

Sorry, it just felt like my soul was frolicking with kittens for a moment there.

Me when I adopt my new favs.

Ha, love it. Cats are so weird here that even their book ends imply they can walk through portals.

We are just going to see everyone’s day off from Magic Survivor, aren’t we?

Huh, an actual building.

I was sort of expecting the entire market to be just outside stalls so, this is new.

Yep, the power of “show don’t tell.” Actions speak louder than words.

Listen, the idea of a non-magical person winning a magical competition is so glorious to me that I super super hope it’s canon.

That’s their mask. They wear it to show that they are fine and don’t need help.

And the mast is working.

Come on admit it, you like Lucy and you know it.

I love how comics can use the “show don’t tell” rule. Like how the brackets imply they are talking in a different language, how the animals and people look similar, how there is a seal in a wheelbarrow and that is so normal those shopkeepers don’t even focus on her.

Those two do know that there are hoodlums behind their booth, right?

Food trumps potential romance, every time.

No really, how much is that? I don’t know the economy of your world.

And while she got money, they all got fed. So who’s the real winner here?

Congrats on your haul. You stole the whole hat. About $10 worth.

Wow, wrapped around her finger without even trying. It is hard to deny a ball of sunshine.
