@Jorelm & @zStella: Several online dictionaries that I've consulted actually confirm that "forelock(s)" not only has "lock(s) of hair that grow(s) from the fore part of a person's head" as a possible meaning, but it apparently isn't considered rare or dated in usage.

For the record, the Japanese term for forelocks/bangs is "maegami", literally "front hair".

@anon763 That's the gag, the one time you are not supposed to notice when a girl changes their hairstyle.

The Princess in this chapter was freaking adorable. And for once, we don't have any "real disaster" or carnage toward the Demons, beside Monk sacrificed at the end.

Have you heard the tragedy of Demon Monk the Wise?

always amused how everyone in the castle is VERY CAREFUL to not upset Suya

@anon763
If it's good, you're supposed to notice it. If it's not, you either pretend you don't notice or tell them they're beautiful whatever hairstyle they have.

oof everyone felt the "need to protecc" feeling... even me...

princess absolut humiliation for once.XDXD

Honestly I think I could get used to that look, but Suya's obviously not okay with it so it's not happening. Demon Monk always revives Suya, so who's the one to revive Demon Monk?

@zStella Japanese puns strike again. 😅

We need more of embarrassed Princess.

And they leave offerings to their local demonic overlord to appease her situation.

@anon763 It's a darned if you do, darned if you don't kind of a situation.

Scissor Demon Suya Suya needs more practice.

She still looks cute! Thanks for the translation!!! 👑👑👑

It's not? I thought the stereotype was that they get mad if you DON'T notice.

The most creepy thing is Demon Monk knows exactly the measurement

Holy shit this chapter is so anime_irl, especially in teenagers. Girls can get REAL sensitive whenever they cut their hair, especially the first few days. Had a schoolmate who cut her bangs short and hid herself in front of book the whole freaking week and avoided conversation with boys as much as she could. Got real mad and cried when some boys teased her hair too LOL.

This whole chapter was just:

@Jorelm There wasn't much of a choice; it was a pun with the word "forepay" in the chapter. Otherwise it would've been lost in translation.

@Qelix

From what I gathered, the fact that it sort of curved in the middle.
