Sansui isn't a "lowly servant"; he's the equivalent of the duke's champion knight.
Remember: Each of the 4 duke houses have power on par with (if not greater than) the Royal Family itself.
In other words, Sansui is the equivalent of a royal champion or personal royal knight. He's the...
Kane being seemingly oblivious to Noir-chan’s identity was good in its own way since his genuine unbiased kindness (his greatest attribute) was untainted by any ulterior motives.
(“I HAVE to be kind in order to save Noir-chan“ would be an ulterior motive, albeit one with good intentions.)

Why would they blame Lerunda for cursing them if she’s:
1. Supposed to be the “normal/non-miko” child?
2. Supposed to be DEAD?
I suppose they MIGHT blame her simply because she’s the unwanted child, but blaming a child who (probably) did not display any magical prowess for somehow cursing...
@sjmcc13
To be fair, I wouldn’t have known that the mistreatment was pre-miko until I read comments or the novel. Manga hasn’t exactly shown that yet (if it ever will).
So, her real parents screwed up, and Lerunda clearly doesn’t love her old home very much. Wonder how her parents and/or village feel now that everything’s pest infected? Reckon they’ll blame their “only” daughter (Lerunda’s sister) for not loving them enough?
The whole “miko” thing isn’t...
For the people who are confused:
As mentioned by another commenter (Hakurei06), the ship is (presumably) "Noah" the Skyship Divine Treasure.
In the novel, the divine treasures comment that a fireball of that size and strength could probably shoot down Noah if she were flying directly above them...
Had this mini-arc gone a different route, I might have dropped this manga outright.
Thankfully, it was all just an old friend playing a rather mean prank.

This is a world in which the females have all the social power.
Keep in mind that this is the world of an otome game, where the player (presumably female) controls a female saint candidate and single handedly changes history based on her choices in regards to the capture targets.

Self-defense is one thing. Outright executing/murdering men in broad daylight is another.
Remember that MC's plan is to establish a teleportation point and have merchants and people come to his tower.
Most people probably wouldn't be so quick to trust a Lord that outright murders people...

MC knows that SOMEONE in the town is powerful enough and corrupt enough to back these thugs. He DOESN'T know that it's (presumably) the town lord himself (yet), but he suspects that to be the case.
MC WANTS to know just HOW corrupt their backer is, so he left them alive...
@raos044 Yeah, I'm referring to the web novel (the one on Novel Updates). Honestly, I wasn't even aware that there was a light novel for this. Yeah, light novels tend to be more fleshed out than the source web novel.
Shin's growth as a character revolves less about his power creep, op magic, or plagiarized magic appliances and more about him learning "common sense" and gaining the awareness and foresight to understand the potential direct and indirect consequences of his influence and actions.
Several...
