    Unfortunately so, in my opinion. I really do not like the Rozemyne Ferdinand ship… They have far too much of a parent/child or mentor/pupil relationship, so having them marry makes me really uncomfortable. Also I don’t like how Ferdinand derives pleasure from causing Rozemyne physical pain and how he’s constantly gaslighting and using her, even while helping and protecting her.

    Plus the whole age issues. I know that mentally one could make an argument for Rozemyne to be even older than Ferdinand, if you combined her two lives together, but I think that’s a mistake. For starters going through childhood twice doesn’t make you any more grown up, I’m sure. Someone who went from 0 to 9 twice isn’t suddenly going to behave like a full adult. And that aside, to me Rozemyne is not an adult reborn in a child’s body, but a child infused with memories of a different life. She’s often been acting even more childish than the children of this world, which makes this point rather clear in my opinion.

    There’s also the issue of her reacting outright disgusted, when the issue of her potentially marrying Ferdinand came up in the past.

    I’d much rather see her marry Hildebrand. With how hard he’s working on increasing his mana, their current mana disparity should be something they can overcome, by the time he comes of age. Especially if he also takes to circling the shrines in the royal academy, to become omni-elemental and maybe even a full-on Zent candidate, or even owner of a True Book of Mestionora in his own right.

    In regards to the spell name, this is only the pre-pub. This would hardly be the first time Quof corrected such spellings between pre-pub releases. It’s only final, once the official e-book hits.

      I think this one is a bigger age issue. Rozemyne is far more mentally mature than Hildebrand; sure she can be childish at times, but we’ve seen Hildebrand’s POV and he thinks like an actual child. Plus Roz herself expressed discomfort with the idea of marrying anyone younger than Urano.

      Rozemyne explicitly allowed him to pinch her cheeks. And for the past few volumes she’s been going to sleep cuddling the shumil lecturing her in Ferdinand’s voice. And back in P3 she downright ordered Benno to yell at her.

      I think she might like it too, even if she doesn’t want to admit it to herself.

        Rozemyne does not enjoy the being yelled at or being caused pain. She just craves honest interactions and physical contact so much that even abuse is better than complete neglet and she outright states that in her mind more than once. Taking advantage of this vulnerbility to cause her physical pain is deplorable behaviour, no matter how much “permission” she might have given.

        Also I find it sick to enjoy causing pain to other people, permission or not, unless the recipient did something to really deserve it.
