 * So Yukina is Keel's favorite, whereas Mikina is a doting mother to Aile. Hmm, sounds like the stereotypical middle child situation to me. Has Shaw ever expressed frustration of not getting as much attention from his parents anywhere in the novel?
 * "Mikina: Have you grown a tad?" What exactly is Mikina asking here? The meaning I'm getting is "You've grown a bit, haven't you?"
 * Are all of the Freesis servants Elphes, or just a majority? Also, did the family take all of them when they relocated to Marlon after the Revolution?
 * I've done a bit of research, and apparently potatoes found a "firm place in German cuisine" sometime after 1774; Lucifenian Revolution takes place alongside 1799, so it all matches up. Can't find anything on roast beef, though. A source I found say they spit roasted oxen, not beef.
