yeah our mc has serious attitude issues, either this is her start to learning to control herself, or we get an amusing "i did absolutely nothing wrong ohohohoho!" scene. win-win imo.

It does make you wonder what the other sins would havedone.

Would Luxuria have tried snoghing the bandit, given how often the oneswe do have pop up?

Audrey is 14 and the bandit was probably somewhere in his late-20s/early-30, so no.

You know, thinking on it further, I'm really happy you folks didn't pick luxuria. Would've made things really freakin' awkward for the first handful of turns.

imo the way to depict luxuria in a fun and amusing way for someone underage like the mc would be to make her a shipper.

She gets there and immediately starts talking with the other squires about which of the knights would make such hot couples.

Our teacher catches wind of these and finds out she wrote fanfic about him running off to settle down with his most hated enemy.

"But seerr! enemies to lovers embodies the love of christ! we should love our enemies not hate them!"

"You killed three bandits last week."

"That's different!" she pouts, "They were ugly."

Commenting on the update itself, while the fight scene was good, I still think that the ending was the best part:

Audrey nods, lips pressing firm, only for Reinald's follow-up to catch her flat-footed.
"Anyways, you should bear in mind for the future that the average bandit is one that survived their first few scraps, so it's no surprise your foe gave you such trouble."

…Average?

This time, Audrey doesn't bother hiding the pout as it forms.

I think that this here is a pure, crystalized moment of perfectly representing Audrey's cockiness. I also really liked the earlier moment where she was first gaslighting herself into believing that the man she fought was actually superior to common bandits, and so ending up actually taking him seriously.

Also, her mentor seems to be pretty canny. Just the right amount of praise in right places so that Audrey truly appreciates his advice, while also partially deflating her unrealistic self-estimation of her own abilities when needed.

Just found this quest and caught up. I like Audrey so far, her flaws make her interesting.

For the record, the vote (ROLL, ARGH) was to decide which of two possible benefits for picking that option we would have gone with.
