No Game No Life 10 - Yuu Kamiya

 The siblings have been ousted by a coup d'etat (which they staged themselves) to start... a pharmacy!



That's quite a start for this 10th, and for now final as when I finish this novel I will have caught up with the released books for the moment.

But as stated above, they have decided to step down from being the monarchs and withdraw into business, when they meet a dwarf, apparently growing from their garden.  It turns out this is Tilvilg, a dwarven (looking like a cute monster lolicon) lady send to get medicine from Sora and Shiro, but also triggering extreme jealousy from Shiro, and enimity from Jibril and Fiel.

The group joins the siblings in travelling to the dwarven capital of Hardenfell, where they witness the creationist magic of dwarves firsthand.  Including one giant robot that seemingly was build after the Great War and the 10 Covenants, meaning it might actually be operational!  They find out that Til is the niece of the rather foulmouthed, drunk chieftain of Hardenfell, who challenges them... a mecha fight!  They also learn that his weakness is that the royal bloodline can only find true love with a woman with big buubs, something that doesn`t appear in Dwarf society.  So he uses a spell, enlarging the bossoms of all the women present in Sora's party, and putting a severe strain on him to keep concentration.
 
When they find out Til was destined to marry him once she could build a better spirit arms then him,  they need to convince her to pilot the machine, something she flees from.  Blank gets a bit desperate, as it involves a battle of souls as well, meaning actual physical fighting.  And violence is something that Blank, being the coward that Sora is, shies away from.  They know that the Dwarf race is created around the idea that making mistakes is a mistake, hence limiting their imagination.  And during an alcohol induced stuper, the Forge God himself doesn`t seem to be much help either for them.



While Eimir-Eins finds out Blank actually sees Steph as the crop of the crop in economics and politics, the protagonists face off the dwarf king in mecha combat, putting their two old and refurbished creations against his pinnacle of craftmanship...  But they overcome the narrowmindness of Veig and Til grows beyond herself, going as far as actually animating the whole battlefield into a mecha and making Veig see her as his equal.

And so it ends for now, as we will have to wait on further volumes to be written to know how Blank's adventures in Disboard continue.

I for one cannot wait, achente!
