I believe it is explained, but I forgot the exact placing. I know it has to do with Banica pulling royal blood from Maylis and Beelzenia and Marlon still trying to be buddy-buddies after the whole "Count that killed our Duke overthrew our indirect control over Marlon" incident.

Also, some of you are going to like what I found:


 * Meta Salmhofer and the Duel or Merigod gets mentioned by the waiter; Merigod Plataeu is apparently well-documented in stories and lore.


 * Meta "spreading chaos" in MKL is known, which apparently ties to Merigod; the battle between "a powerful mage and her apprentice" and "the leader of Pere Noel" also comes up.


 * Duke デミランブ (Demiranbu [Demilanbu?]) is a thing; so that's Donald, Demilanbu, Conchita, Oruhari, and D'Autriche (yay, five Five Dukes at last!); I'm also finding mentions of a pig of the same name but I haven't found that part in the novel yet.


 * Allegedly, the fake twin swords Elluka got are unique but the specifics needs me to dissect the text more; the (trustful) user on the forum says he/she was reminded of Mariam's daggers.


 * User then said "Mariam herself had to say that "Elluke got me the knives", so I have no doubt that those were the fake Twin Swords of Levianta." I have no memory of this quote and will now have to dig Interlude, Fanbook, and the light novels for its existence... lovely...


 * Platonic apparently has some "crystal ball of black luster" (or at least saw one); the user mentions in Cloture how such an item was in Keel's collection (In our translation we have "black crystals" but it might be another "guns-pikes" scenario).


 * There's also apparently a pig called "Murara" which the user notes how may come from Meguru apparently saying in passing how Muzuri wanted to name Banica "ムララムラジャコタスポポポ".

Funny thing is that in the Waltz interview, a question was asked:

"Banica was almost named "Muraramuajakotasupopopo". The origin of this name?"

mothy's answer:

"Please ask Mr. Muzuri."
