Usa a pen to draw a small dot in your right cheek and look into the mirror. The "image" in the mirror will be of you with a dot on your left cheek.

But I have a deep dimple on my right cheek that always appears on the right side in the mirror.

 

[Nie Li]

But I have a deep dimple on my right cheek that always appears on the right side in the mirror.

It appears in front of your right side but, if you pay attention, since the reflection is looking towards you, that means the pimple is showing on the left side of the image on the mirror.

I feel like I'm getting tangled up explaining this but reflections are always inverted.

Okay sir. You meant that I should become the mirror me itself. That is correct then.
But if you become the Tristan in the sword, his eye colors would still be wrong.

How so? If we consider that is "mirror Tristan" reflected on the sword?

I apologize if I sound rude or obnoxious. That isn't my intention.

The only rude part is sir made me feel old.

 

[everythingnice]

Holy Moly the amount of mental gymnastics I've done in the past 30 minutes is more than anything else I've done in the past 3 years.

Let's move on there's no real point in keep arguing about this.

The only rude part is sir made me feel old.

That's a habit to call male strangers lol I'm sorry. I read a bit too much princess manhwas.

@Nie Li , I appreciate your effort in further elaborating the point.

@everythingnice , I suspect your are trying to make jokes here more than being serious. I'm sure the dragon handle of Chaos is not powerful enough to change the way mirrors change. Your mirror seems to be way smarter and scarily more powerful in terms of magic than Percy's sword!

Jokes aside, you can simply put a picture of Tristan Liones in front of a mirror and compare it to this volume cover. It's easier to check it for yourself using real life tools instead of mental gymnastics.

You can also take a look at Tristan's dairies chapter 9, shameless parents, page 193:

"In front of a mirror inside the castle, playing with my chameleon iris, I saw pappaa Mel touching queen's titties. I shout at them so he let go of the right one, hand on the left breast still stayed on. When I turned back to get out of that room, suddenly my mind went fully boom. I saw Pappa was fondling the right tit, left boob freely bouncing a tad bit. I got to know mirrors are liers at that day, never to trust in what these things say."

(sorry I had to do that because sometimes my hands just want to scream)

Mirrors do nooooooooooooot invert a picture.
If Tristan's RIGHT eye is blue, then the blue will be shown on the RIGHT side of the mirror.
What kind of mirrors do you guys use?!!!!! I've never seen one that does the opposite! Not once in my entire life!

The more I think about this the more I feel that what I first said was not properly understood.
I'll take responsibility for not saying the right thing. I wrote one comment and now this thread is debating mirrors LOL

Yes, but...

You have Tristan's LEFT eye: green.

The more you insist on it, the more I get scared of your self correcting AI mirror you are in contact with in your life, and I'm beginning to suspect if you are not joking at all.

However, just put an image of him in front of a normal everyday life mirror and compare it with the volume cover.

It's way too easy to try, and using that, you will learn something wonderful about mirrors and how they create pictures.

Don't worry I'm actually a sound person in brain. I'm sorry if I'm unable to convey well, actually I was also getting confused so I wanted to drop the topic T.T it's your right to be scared honestly

Ok I see your point. I was the one blind with the eyes colors >.< I mistook the blue for green and green for blue

I didn't notice Lancelot before. But now that you mention him he's the wrong one here. Reflections don't invert!!!!!!!!!
I'm not saying this to argue on Lancelot now lol.

 

[Nie Li]

I mistook the blue for green and green for blue

So that was the whole misunderstanding all along. Oh, well, glad we've put an end to the mirror arc here, missy and Blazar.

 

[everythingnice]

I take back the Lancelot one too, because I went ahead to check his scar placement. And it's actually correct.

This day was one big "Woman moment" for me.

I enjoyed this arc way better than second demon king arc!!

I admit we went off topic, but the topic is a cool one by itself. Now all three of us are ready to watch Oculus 2014 to expand our knowledge of magical mirrors lol.

Huuuh? Hmmmm... Somebody I like... I wonder if he counts as one.

Title: ¡Hola! Manga Barcelona 2022!!

My two young editors and I went to the signing event in Spain in December 2022!!
Outside: I finally get to use my polarized sunglasses!
This is M-da-kun, the always-smiling lean glutton.
And this is H-kata-kun, very considerate of others yet a bit taciturn.

After many problems and a nearly 20 hours one-way flight, we finally arrived in Spain!!
You sure are enjoying the Spain trip to the full, huh.♬
I'm telling you we're here for the signing event!!!

I am Uri, your interpreter. I was born in Spain and can make you feel like I'm actually living in Osaka.
So thick!! A handsome guy speaking the Kansai dialect, how unfair!
I am Estelle and I will be assisting you during the travel and the signing event!
W... wow, so beautiful!! Literally a model or a movie actress...!!

Title: ¡Hola! Manga Barcelona 2002!! (2)

Did you sleep well last night, Nakaba-sensei?
Not at all.
First things first, tourism! I know this is super classic but you can't really miss Gaudi!! He's a really great guy!

Oooooooh, the Sagrada Familia!!
The real thing certainly does feel overwhelming.

Now that I'm up here, I'm mega scared!!!
Oh wow, oh wow.
Outside: We're near the top.

The stained glasses inside the cathedral are sublime...!! Even I, despite having no religious faith, want to pray here every morning and evening.
Yep, yep. Okay, we'll use them as a reference for the color title page of chapter 91!!

The Park Güell is also magnificent.
I thought Nakaba-sensei would love it.

Box: I quickly found out after arriving in Spain that
Outside: T-hira-san and S-fuji-san for licensing.
Box: the persons dealing with international licensing who came on the trip with us and especially my editors were very proficient in English!

Damn them... they're spoony on her...!!
Even though I want to chat with them...!!

Page 6:
Title: ¡Hola! Manga Barcelona 2022!! (3)

And... the Spanish meal we were looking forward to!!
Wow, what's that long, slender shell?
It's called the razor clam.

Oooooh, paella!! So huge!!
And that's not all! There'll be more coming!!

But they are beinging enormous amounts of paella...!! It's tasty though.
M-da-kun, how full is your stomach right now?
Outside: You seem very happy eating it.
About 70-80 percent.
Didn't you say that 30 minutes ago?
Below: Good eaters are appreciated by the Norma editor-in-chief...
[TN: The stomach being 80% full is an idiom to say they're eating in moderation.]

M-da-kun...
Outside: The churros are big and yummy.

You've got a stomach into a different dimension...
Outside: The croquettes are the best.

Tomorrow will be the signing event. Do your very best.
Whoaa.
Outside: Let's have a decent sleep tonight.
Ah, Nakaba-san.

This is the foot version of the blindfold, would you like to take it? You didn't seem to sleep well yesterday.
Uh? Oh... yes. I'll have it then. ... actually, we were given blindfolds in the plane, H-kata-kun!
And here are candies if you want them! Oh, umeboshi would be a better choice, wouldn't they?
Are you my mommy...!?
Below: I also received some tissue and wet tissue...

The day for the signing event comes!!!

Page 7:
Title: ¡Hola! Manga Barcelona 2022!! (4)

Manga Barcelona, Spain's greatest manga festival!
Outside: Bwahahahah, the people look literally like paella rice grains!!
It's held in a new venue starting this year, and the sheer number of people it can accomodate is impressive.

First, the press conference!!
Arrows: My editors

Your opinion on which character will be popular in the event,
M-da-kun, H-kata-kun!?

Spain cooking is high-level, so I'm looking forward to the lunch and the dinner!!
What a terrifying appetite Demon!!

At least speak in Japanese with me!!
Below: Estelle-san is very friendly and studious.

No worries, sensei! Count on me to assist you!
The teleportation user Uri-saaaan!!
Below: A technique he used to run up the escalator at high speed while we were taking the elevator to go from 1F to 2F, to ambush us up there.

By the way, one character will be chosen at a time among the ten (7 Seven Deadly Sins as well as Elizabeth, Hawk and Percival) and I will draw them on site.
The signing event starts!!!

Page 8:
Title: ¡Hola! Manga Barcelona 2022!! (5)

A great diversity of fans from the ones cosplaying to the ones with tattoos came to the event!!!
He said he would love to have Escanor as his daddy.
Outside: Drawing earnestly.
Be sure to tell me when your pen runs out of ink.
I've prepared a lot of spare pens!!
That's great... Not many Japanese poeple have manga characters tattooed on them.

Page 9:
And the results after 450 people came to the signing event:
First: Ban - 122 people
Second: Meliodas - 82 people
Third: Escanor - 79 people
Fourth: Hawk - 44 people
Fifth: Elizabeth - 30 people
King and Diane would come on top in Japan but they were fighting very hard in Spain.

I wouldn't mind Ban but my girlfriend likes Elizabeth so please draw her.
I want to give it to her as a birthday present.

I'm often told I look like Merlin.
And my boyfriend looks a lot like Ban, like two peads in a pod!!
No matter what anyone says, it's Hawk!!
Gotta be Hawk!!

Spaniards are shier than I thought they'd be...
Outside: Hey, that's Ban!
But I like how they are consistent in sticking to their opinions.

Incidentally, as Percival was only on the printed cardboard, almost nobody chose him in the event.
SFX: Sob

Page 10:
I also took part in events sich as fan ones and master classes (manga classes?).
These are the sketches I drew in front of people in these events.

The event was really tough on me with one minute per person and 150 people multiplied by three days!!
I really enjoyed the delicious Spanish meals.
Hey, you!!

Aaaaah.
Outside: Aaaah...
Sure enough, it's sad that the trip is ending.

I had no idea Estelle-san was married.
You're married too!!!
That's quite the trash talk there...!

I also visited many famous spots and there were many more events but I had to leave them all out due to the page constraints. Anyway, I enjoyed the signing event in Spain!! Thank you to the Spanish people, Uri-san and Estelle-san!!

The end

Page 15:
I only knew what you were going to say.

This volume also includes the short story about Meliodas and Gilthunder being worried about their kids but we've already seen it, that's why I didn't include it in the batch.

Volume 12 is due to release on June 15th.

Some brat saw me while I was changing!! He saw my super sexy, super erotic body!!!
I see.
What's with that response!? You don't care about it, do you?

Anyway, is the intel trustworthy?

According to Orlondi, the King's familiar, the Four Knights of the Apocalypse group that left Liones yesterday will stop at Wallnack.
[The rest is very similar to the original page.]

I don't think they asked for any of the characters in Mokushiroku, even if they read it, most people are still stuck on the cast of Taizai.
