so let’s say they will start heading to the mansion in the next chapter, they would still need at least the first half of the chapter to exchange information, making plans and shit, so the best scenario would be that the next chapter ends when Allen reaches the mansion. I doubt anything would happen along the way since that would be dragging the story way too much, however, i’m not really sure if Allen even know where that mansion is, so i guess we should expect the journey lasts 1 or 2 chapters. Not to mention, i don’t think Kanda would follow along. There is basically no one at the Order is on Allen’s side right now, so Kanda need to go back there (and he still need to become a General or else it would be pointless for Tiedoll to even bring that up, hell i though he and Tiedoll would be half way back to the Order by this point but apparently i forgot it’s not almost a year in the manga…) Anyway, we might stay at the Order for 2-3 more chapters before actually go back to the mansion. Now, we know a “Bookman” is staying there and I honestly doubt it’s Lavi. So i guess it will take around 1 or 2 chapters for Bookman to explain things he know to Allen. Now that’s 7 chapters. If we lucky, we would get to know something about Lavi’s whereabouts, and it would take at least another chapter for Allen to reach him. So that would be 8 chapters, which means waiting for 2 more years, maybe 1, if the chapters are about 50-60 pages long as it should be. Gosh, just thinking about it pains me. I might as well book a flight to Jump Festa this year to ask Hoshino myself when the fuck we would see Lavi again.
