### Summary
The northern expedition begins with the central relationship between Judith and Kaillou in a state of complete collapse, sparking intense reader frustration. The conflict stems directly from Kaillou's recent actions; after giving Judith a significant gift, he abruptly shut down her attempt to clarify their feelings by stating he valued her merely as a "trusted subordinate." This "subordinate-zoning" has caused Judith to become cold and avoidant, a reaction readers see as a justifiable, if immature, coping mechanism given her inexperience with relationships. In response, Kaillou is portrayed as infuriatingly dense, openly wondering what he did wrong and failing to connect his own words to the sudden shift in their dynamic. This forced misunderstanding is widely criticized by readers as an insulting and time-wasting plot device that has "dumbed down" Kaillou's character and stalled the narrative's momentum following the dragon arc. While Princess Olga attempts to manage the mission, the mage Shane is seen as a potential "wing man" tasked with resolving the tension between the two emotionally inept leads. The overwhelming sentiment is one of exasperation, with readers decrying the poor communication and eagerly awaiting the resolution of this frustrating romantic subplot.
