Talk:Mahouka Koukou no Rettousei:Volume 5 Friendship, trust and the dubious lolicon

Sorry if I spoil something. Well just wondering how the translators see this as not part of the main story. I have found at least 3 points that relate to the main story: 1) Why Kichijouji is so loyal to Ichijou. 2) What Ichijou did to be able to travel alone in the battlefield. 3) More information on the Ichijou Clan.

While the second point is the only major point that relates to the main story it is a vital point. As stated in the chapter "I think what Masaki must learn is not how to use clever tricks but how to deal with clever tricks" indicating that he has very little ability in active combat were he is alone and not with someone who can guide him through tactics that are not arrow straight. In other words unless he his in a 1-on-1 fight were no underhanded methods are used in his current state he would be fine yet he travel alone and deals with ambushes in the war.

The first and third point are minor but they give more character depth to Kichijouji and the Ichijou Clan members spoken about that could be used latter on in the main story.
