Shirahama-sensei really said social anxiety (or any other mental disorder) is an ailment that needs to be taken as seriously as any physical disorder. 👏👏👏 I'm really grateful to both Beldarut for taking Riri in (after the trauma with his first abusive master) and for Eoleo for being so understanding and respectful of Ririfin's difficulties with crowds.
This chapter also truly highlights that, despite the fact that magic can't be mixed with medicine, Witches are as much in need of doctors (for example), as humans without knowledge of magic are in need of Witches. Thus, a steady balance is necessary...
which is why both King Dean and Eoleo seeking magic knowledge foreshadows a lot of trouble (and that explains why the Brim Hats want to meet them, while Belda is scared of what might happen).
Still, if Belda and the others can't trust their magic community as well as the King with enough info to understand why these rules exist in the first place, then knowledge indeed only flows from one side to the other, creating a rift. That's why the balance is already crumbling, and that's what the Brim Hats try to use even further for their own goals.
A ray of hope, though: clearly the kids play it less political at heart and, as such, Eoleo was able to exchange knowledge with Ririfin, Riché and Tetia, leading to a bigger opportunity to use for everyone's sake. So...
"Speaking up, talking about your pain, these actions create opportunities for overcoming diversity"
akjbrezkbjrez this sentence is pretty cool and accurate summary.
It’s an amazing manga, please give it a try!

So we have three persons in deadly danger: dadga, tartah and coco. (since they seem to be both severely hurt, right?). What if the king couldn't save all three. I mean he may be powerful with healing magic but it must be terribly hard. Maybe too much for him. Maybe saving three persons from death the same day will be too hard. So there would be a choice. Well Coco will live, that's sure but if Tartah die because of the Brims Hats plan, i don't think that she'll forgive them or join them.
Hey Anon! Well, maybe I interpreted ch67 wrongly, but I was more under the impression that Coco was unconscious and not "hurt" (besides, like, maybe a concussion), meanwhile Tartar...
... is indeed suffering from a much more likely to be fatal wound.
As for Dagda, he keeps on "dying" but he's under a "time rewind" forbidden spell that, for now, works...
...so I'd say the current priority is Tartar++, then at a later time Dagda (from the moment the spell wears off), while Coco will most likely be fine without the King's intervention (to be confirmed).
Also, while I agree that Coco would never forgive the Brim Hats for hurting Tartar, she's also currently treading on very thin ice and anything happening to any of her friends (including Tartar, Coustas and, by proxy, Dagda) "because magic and medicine can't be mixed" might most likely tip her scale in favor of the Brim Hats.
All that being said, I'd also be lying if I said I believed Dagda had a real chance to make it through this arc. :// Sadly, the truth is, Dagda is a literal walking forbidden spell and the Brim Hats want to make themselves known to the King so, narratively speaking, Dagda meeting/being saved by the King is equal to a victory for the Brim Hats.
Of course, it could be what Sensei is after, since this arc is clearly challenging all the laws fueling The Secret as well as the forbidden link between magic and medicine, but Belda was quite clear as to what he fears about King Dean getting knowledge about magic and...
...as much as I truly enjoy the King's character and despise The Secret, I think he's right. For now, plot-wise, it wouldn't be a good idea at all for the King's family to figure out how magic works, because it would simply further the Brim Hats' cause and they're too chaotic to be the real answer (meanwhile the Prince learning the truth from, say, Tetia? highly more interesting and less prone to chaotic results :))).
TL;DR at this point, I don't fear for Tartar's or Coco's safety, whereas I really doubt Dagda will make it. And even if the King were to manage saving him, he's at a very high risk of getting his memory erased which will anger Coustas to no end, causing Tartar and Coco much grief. ://
At some point during the arc, I really though there could be a way for, say, Atuarto to become Ininia's, Coustas' and Tartar's teacher, since he offered to protect Galga from the Island of Lost Memories...
...but that probably won't happen for Coustas if Dagda can't escape death + the Witches' law for being a walking forbidden spell, like Eunie did.
We'll have to wait and see. I hope I managed to answer your question. :)) Have a good day Anon!
