First of all, I can't help but think of Erza when Irene said: "It seems you showed my "children" quite a bit of affection" Anyways...I feel in-different about this chapter. Seemingly good stuff, turned out to be exactly how I expected (I'm sure, alot of people, and I already knew Brandish would do something.) So already, lack of surprise there.) I just wish Mashima would have written this part differently. Everything before was certainly nice. Actually, Eileen appearing wasn't (while I'm sure it is within her capabilities)... wasn't she more intrigued with Erza beforehand? >.>. Also shrinking the wound of a pierced heart thing doesn't really make sense to me, but whatever. It's great Mira defeated some people (or should I say objects lol) and showcased new powers. However, like what I expected, she is the first important character to be destroyed by Irene. Why must Mashima always treat her like this D:. Also like I said last chapter, while it was a fight... it wasn't a good fight. Mashima needs to write a fight for her where she not only uses her powers, but makes use of strategies as well. (not just whoever has the most power wins). I would've preferred if Mira could have at least dodged some moves and tried to do something against Irene, that way, despite her condition it would've showed her resilience and her will to defend Fairytail :P. Instead of getting straight up dominated by Irene the moment she appears. The initial meet-up between Yukino and Sorano was already badly done, so I didn't really care about it. Though, reading more about it in this chapter, did give me some feels... BUT, I have a minor problem with how Yukino doesn't question Sorano about her deeds, because she knows zero clue about it. Something like: -feel free to skip what's next to come, cause its just me fantasizing- (After Sorano says how she's a terrible person) Yukino: "What do you mean?!" Sorano: "YOU HAVE NO IDEA WHAT I'VE DONE... the people I've hurt, the... the things I've done to get my way... I DON'T DESERVE... blah blah blah... until I atleast do... blah blah blah" lol. Rahkied Dragneel. While I am intrigued, I have a feeling bad future events are to come related to him, just by that name ._. (I hope I'm wrong lol). Overall, I also give this 5/10.
