@Acolytus Just to clarify, him buying her isn't what saved her. It's the fact that he made her want to live and verbalize it. He can dress her like a princess, buy her stuff like a princess, treat her like a princess, etc. but it doesn't mean anything if the person herself sees no meaning to her...
@Acolytus You simply don't understand depression, man. That's just not how it works. You can be as rich as Bill Gates and still feel just as depressed as a slave. That's why depression's a big pain. Anybody trying to downplay the situation simply knows nothing of what's going on and trying to...
@Redice Starvation is different from depression. They are, in no possible way, comparable to each other. Understand that, and you can proceed with the discussion properly.
@angerybord Slavery, at least in most kingdoms on this world, isn't bad. They are usually used as workforce or bodyguards. Sure, there are exceptions like some nobles can take note liberties in their "services." That's more of the fault of nobilities though, not the slavery system.
@Acolytus First, he's not saying that to himself, but to Fitts, whom have a worrying look at him, especially considering his early suggestion.
He's portrayed as being heroic in the eyes of his two companions since, no matter how you look at it, he still saved the child and able to at least...
@Acolytus And despair is still despair no matter how you cut it. His experience may not be similar to hers in any way, but that doesn't mean that he's got any more desire to live than her.
@Acolytus Calm down. It's explicitly said here that she's not arousing him at all. He bought her because she's the one with the skill they need. She's young so she there's a huge chance she can pick up chantless magic and even if she can't, she's still a dwarf so they can alternatively provide...
@reallynotallen She's being paranoid over the chance that Rudeus doesn't remember her. Remember, she's not a very confident person.
@HYBRID_BEING *Looks at Roxy* It's too late, bud.
@captain_crunch He's not saying that to himself. He's telling that to Fitts in his mind.
@Izaya_Onisai Rudeus being submissive is because he's depressed AF right now from Eris leaving him. Either way, he's not exactly submissive but rather doesn't want to do much. He can send everyone in the academy to the afterlife in a single spell if he wants to but he doesn't. In fact, he...
@Flavor25 Just checked chapter 1. Legs can bend that way. It feels weird AF though. Definitely not a stance you'd want to take if you're swinging a sword because you'll probably dislocate some bones there if you put too much force to the swing (or hit something really hard).
@mnmega I would disagree with the assumption of the author's opinion of women is bad considering the best characters in this series are women. We've already met quite a few of them.
1. Ange
2. Livia
Serious spoilers for the rest:
So...yeah. Great female characters clearly outnumber the male ones.
@a27wolf That screenshot was from chapter 40. It's not at all explicit, but yeah, she already remembers him by that time.
@monkey123 Chapter 40. Basically, before they went out from Asura Kingdom.
