Benno and Corinna's other sister had to get married into a different city to avoid the Guildmaster's family.
After Benno's fiancée died, Gustav offered one of his daughters. Since then, he's been harrassing the Gilberata company such as blocking their requests for Myne and Lutz to be registered. The Guildmaster tried to swoop in and marry Benno's mother the day that the news arrived but she rejected him. Corinna understands and think that a weight has been lifted from Benno.Īt the poundcake testing Benno's father was killed by bandits shortly after Benno came of age. Benno regretted how he couldn’t help her and so he wanted to do all he could for Myne (this also explains how Benno feels about Lutz). He explains that Myne has the Devouring and that the Devouring is how Benno's fiancée (whom Corinna knew well) died. Corinna can read her brother though so Benno admits the truth. Benno tries to be tsundere and say it was only because he wanted to keep the money Myne brought in. Normally he has always prioritized the store. It explains some of Benno’s perspective After hearing the negotiations went well, Corinna asks Benno why he risked the Gilberta company by getting involved with this noble business. There is a bonus story from Corinna's perspective that comes with one of the manga volumes that takes place shortly after Benno learns how the negotiations went. The restaurant has a dog that eats food off the floor Gunther doesn't feel like explaining that he knew because he had done the same thing when Effa was first pregnant. Gunther responds "Hey, congrats on having your first kid" which shocks Otto. Otto is just extremely smiley and says told him not to tell anyone yet.
Otto doesn't tell Gunther he's having a kid. (And there's also a meme I made a while ago in there) I think they're neat but don't worry, they aren't plot spoilers. This is the point where we see my favorite sequence of side-perspective stories in the series. I just want to share a couple details and scenes from the source material that weren't really covered for the anime.
