The World's Strongest Rearguard manga volume 3 (read for fun)

I am definitely a fan of this series by now. I've only read the manga adaptions, but I plan to read to the original light novels sometime soon. 

The world building for this series continues to fascinate me. A good chunk of the start of this volume is the party visiting a professional treasure chest cracker. Seekers find these treasure chests in the Labyrinth, and they bring them to these chest-crackers to disarm of traps. This is not a simple thing, it's a process, and this treasure-cracker appears to be a single mom with two (very cute) children. She joins the monster-butcher and the guild staff as part of the industry that relies on Seekers to go into the Labyrinth.  

This Seeker party has comradery. This is a True Companions kind of series, and I like seeing that in adventuring parties. There is a dinner scene where Arihito's party expresses their commitment to each other, and some less serious /more funny shenanigans caused by Misaki.  They work together well in battle. 

Misaki is a troublemaker, but it is harmless trouble. She knows enough not to actually endanger her party members. This makes her antics cute instead of annoying.

Morale Discharge. In game terms, these sound like limit breaks. I'm looking forward to these.
