When exactly was this? Iirc Claire wears something imbued so she can see dark ones while at work and later at home too. So unless it's before Claire finding out that Clara and Mc are companions and not at work it is explained.
When she got stabbed by the employee whose name I forgot and she was going to die. I've searched the thread and this question was asked before. The dev never answered it. Where exactly does it say she was given something that allows her to see dark ones?

At work she wears something that is imbued by a dark one, that lets the wearer see dark ones. She also has worn this at home since the fight with AZ when she found out that Clara and mc were companions.

Edit: bit of dialogue I found real quick (Claire's thoughts)

cl "{i}Clara and [mcname] are Companions, who could have known."
cl "{i}But that would explain Clara's new found confidence."
cl "{i}If only once I had taken my imbued chain home with me."

Yeah, okay, but tbh her not having her "imbued chain" on her unless she is at work is dumb. How long was the MC living with them with a companion? How long has she known the MC's brother? She has never taken the chain home? Why not? Sry, as hard as the dev tries that's an obvious plothole. There's absolutely no reason why she would need to take that chain off before she goes home. It clearly works away from the workplace, as you mentioned with your quote, so why would she always take it off? That's a plothole mate. Unless it doesn't work away from the work place, which you proved is not the case with your quote, why would she ever take it off?

She had a work/life balance before. Now she doesn't and now she's a Warcriminalclaire, as Gab put it. This is why we all should strive for the proper work/life balance, lest we start murdering tons of people out of a desire to protect our daughter who has now chosen an inextricably dangerous life.

On that note, does Claire teaming up with Ren mean that she sent mercenaries after us? That was my conclusion after playing the update but that really would put us in direct conflict when it comes out. Can't imagine we'd be happy about the danger it posed to Noel nor Noel happy about the danger it posed to us.

Honestly, I'm going to be surprised if that confrontation doesn't come to fruition ... and I expect explosively so since I expect Clara to be involved.

No. Ren it seems has her own thing. She enjoys her power over puny humans. And flesh. I think she is right after Arsael in that regard, one of most demonic characters. Just less powerful in open conflict, but more cunning and resourceful. So, while some swords were sent for Claire, as deal was made, others were specifically told to hunt all B Comps and lower, for pure bloodlust and powergrab. For future collision with other alliances and primordials.

Ren wants to participate in redistribution of spheres of influence. She represent her own faction and wants to expand. Ren's deal with Clair is devil-deal. We will definitely cross swords with her.

While Claire at the moment even not aware that MC got Noel back and willing to take new quest. We are not in her picture. Atleast before Brotherhood bunker assault. Clair just conducts mass sweeps of threats, using underhanded intrigues and swords part of that cover. Also part to enhance her own guard corp, judging on new details of deal.

Im not see complete alliance between Ren and Claire. They are just using each other for different goals. Goals in conflict, and they will eventually also cross each other.

ch10 will definitely be intriguing in that regard.

Also, there in thread, on previous pages was a picture of the relationship between the primordials posted. And I'm wondering what kind of conflict will be between Dia and Ren noted there. At the moment they sure hide their conflict well.

I really liked this update, the link with Noel is endearing and the scene was what we all expected, it was very good, at least for me, Blake's reappearance was very good too, I don't know if Claire is an enemy now or not and her way of acting gives a lot to think about.
The cameo Alyssa's made me wonder where she was from, until I later remembered Re:Rudy and finally confirmed it.
And finally, Amy's story is surprising, although the MC senses it, now it's time to wait and see how they tell her and how she reacts.
Poor Jacky didn't appear again, not even in the credits to complain about it, although since it was the update it didn't give rise to it, I hope that when she returns to the US she does it and not just her, if not Martha too; by the way the blonde that accompanies Two looks a lot like Vicky from CC, without further ado, let's wait for the next update, greetings DEV.

She had no reason to suspect mc or Clara becoming companions, why would you take something home that could raise questions? "I like your chain where did you get it?" when there would be no benefit to taking it home without something like this happening.

No, Ren independently made a deal with the companion she gave the red sword to. When MC was running to catch up with Noel there were the two male companions who ambushed him. He killed them and left their female partner alive so she could spread the word of Rule B. Instead she made a deal with Ren to try and kill MC.

So I just grabbed this yesterday but it says episode 8 in the corner here. The Mega file and download say Chapter 9, so am I not understanding something? Is this a previously answered question that I failed to search this thread for?

If you downloaded 9 from mega it's 9 that has to be typo or forgetting to change number it's same for me but it's 9

It's a leaked version of chapter 9 not public, I assume this will be fixed with public release, I reported this in the discord yesterday just in case.

I think you misunderstood me, this will probably change for public release, since this is a leaked version it is not final. I am a patron myself and have reported this just in case Berki hasn't yet changed it for public.

A lot of interesting developments in the last two chapters:
  • weird sleepy angel thing
  • Claire's face-heel turn
  • Two's heel-face turn
  • the girl with a sword that is not Ren's slave
  • Zero practically gutting the Legion
  • Amy's condition
I quite like the pace and hope the author won't write himself into a corner like GRRM.
