potential cheat abilities > potential cause for discord between 2 worlds
They knew his circumstances yet they still put him in the worst environment he can be in. That isekai must have been desperate for cheat abilities.
@Petnavis
Whatever your preferences are, it's fine. Just as Norio-sensei's are fine too and I actually like her other serialized works and they are probably more... dangerous than this one.
What was weird was that your explanation seems to be based on assumptions and you even got the author's...
@Petnavis
That's some long explanation trying to say you're not creeped out by a depiction of a sexualized middle schooler.
Thing is, if you know who Norio-sensei is, her subject matter tends to lean towards primary schoolers. I think they settled on the the middle school setting as the middle...
@chickenstalker
I don't even know how you got that impression from this chapter.
were you calling inarizushi a junk tier food?
sure, it's mundane, but that's the whole point of it all - it's packed lunch that you can prepare at home. it's no Laughing Buns nor Magic Panda Tofu.
@HiraOmnibus
you probably don't like a lot of foods then
if you liked any sushi at all, then you probably like some food with vinegar in it
pickles tend to use vinegar too
@Kredim
Hmm it sounds more like it's just that nobody has patrolled the forest as much as before, including Kikuru. It could have been dealt with even before it grew to that size only if it was discovered earlier. It wasn't any hint of Kikuru's strength. iirc, there was a senior who had just...
@RanmaChaos
I skimmed the pages but I couldn't find where in that arc Kikuru says that. I remember some statement like it, but it wasn't in the yokegumo arc itself.
If the larger monsters weren't being culled regularly, then wouldn't that mean that there would be less chances for a yokegumo to...
@Kredim
I mean, aren't all the monsters that showed up have been regular low level JRPG monsters? I imagine the author would reserve the designs for the usual more menacing fantasy monsters like orcs and ogres for actual strong monsters. Sure enough, the first strong monster we saw is a spider...
@Kredim
The area around the town is relatively peaceful, and the monsters they fought aren't too strong if something like an overgrown spider could easily upset the balance of the local wildlife. Hanabata can also handle them all just fine if Tokishikko doesn't incapacitate her first. It's just...
@Kredim
Relatively weak monsters
Thing is, he never denied their criticisms. I don't recall there being anything saying that he does hunt strong monsters. He couldn't solo the overgrown yokegumo they fought for example, which is really a bad match for him when his specialties are preemptive...
@RanmaChaos
Well, considering that Kikuru wants to quit to "enjoy his youth", it sounds like he did nothing but guard work for 2 years. He only hunts relatively weak monsters too. Because he hunted solo but there were also other guards around, it probably also took him more time to hunt...
not a fan of "big sis" when they're not even related
some terms just don't translate the same into English
in this case, the usual localization would have had him call her by her name, but that wouldn't have worked for these two either for story reasons
Mani's level was lower than I thought
is a level 7 supposedly this strong?
perhaps having a regular profession that lets her have money for items plus the relevant skills made her a better fighter than an impoverished level 8 adventurer
It's more of a personal thing.
Zess wanted to cut ties with his friends and devote himself to redemption.
To him: guilt of poisoning his brother > friends
and bringing prosperity to Athens is just a means to redemption
Not everyone is rational in this series.
The Difringe(?) has only a few minutes of battle operation time. It would just get stranded again if it acted alone. It needs a supporting team, but there's nothing in Krishna's arsenal that could catch up with it other than the captured Artemis, which is very difficult to pilot and is now out...
