If mikuni killed mahiru in the mirror world:
I've had this in my drafts for a while, but I was busy with some stuff and I haven't been able to post... I mostly wrote about the references.
In the Mirror World, Lily is Mikuni's Servamp and he was named "Judith". (Book of Judith).
So Mikuni has 3 contracts? I guess it was just an assumption that Eves can only have one.
Another reference here is the name of the technique that was used. "Salome" (Girl Hell)
There are two women named Salome in the Bible and most likely the story of the one who requested the beheading John the Baptist was the one the technique was based on.
Girl Hell might be a reference to a collection of stories by Yumeno Kyusaku.
Mikuni: "Even with all the repetitions so far, itβs happened a few times.
When you and Kuro come into contact, it makes you remember the 'first loop' (he means the original timeline) and it looks like the Countβs magic isnβt very effective on the Servamps who were inside the shrine when it was activated. Thatβs why only your contact with Sloth causes the magic to come apart"
So yeah, that's why Kuro and Tsubaki remember the original world, but according to the previous chapters, only Tsubaki could tell that Mikuni "reset" the world a few times.
Uhm, hello? Did Mahiru and Tsubaki make a temporary contract? Is Tsubaki special and didn't need a name and item? Is it considered a temporary contract because only one of the conditions was met? Tsubaki wasn't given an item or another name, so...yeah. It could be that the same conditions don't apply to him?
Mahiru couldn't use magic because he died in the original timeline... His mother brought him back using a forbidden spell that she wanted to use for her parents... In the Mirror World, since Mahiru didn't die, he can use magic. Mikuni looks shocked doesn't he? Was that the first time Mahiru tried to use his magician power? Why didn't Mikuni try getting rid of Mahiru? I mean, he could have killed him using his Servamps and thus no danger of weakening the spell that he used to create the Mirror World. Perhaps, he can't.
Maybe it's a condition from Germaine? Like, c'mon, he's the creator of Servamps, is he really obeying Mikuni's every order? He must have given Mikuni some conditions and maybe not harming Mahiru is one of them because he's important to Kuro and Germaine might use him to get Kuro on his side. Just like Mikuni said, only Kuro and Mahiru are able to cause Germaine's spell to weaken.
So yeah...OMG, only two chapters left! :((
