@Firebird44 Thanks. I knew it was something along those lines, but, as I said, it's been a hot minute since I read the beginning.

@monkey123 Admittedly, I haven't read the first few chapters in ages, so this is just based on my vague recollections, but weren't they roflstomped because they hadn't thought to bring basic supplies and potions, figuring they could just further abuse their (so they thought) drug addled healer?

@Crombs They do, indeed, know that Rokudou is the cause; a chapter or so ago when they actually kidnapped her, they had their female members blindfolded so they couldn't be captivated by Rokudou's mark.

@Riger The way I understood it is the "Water Technique" is something like a multi-person ritual that takes time to properly perform, but the MC's shikigami showed up, so he's rushing it; and his flame release is just a personal combat technique.

@Raydnt Any content about the Duke and Alice where they can properly touch each other would involve a series of 6 digit numbers, my dude.

@REMasher Probably a slit along the top edge so they can slip in and out; it allows the scabbard to hug the lines of the blade, but it's also a terrible way to construct a scabbard, because it's nowhere near as secure as a full scabbard (speaking from experience, here, as I own a sword with a...

@JavelinJoe Not necessarily. For all their power against humans, bullets are incredibly tiny and against other species, their effectiveness is more diminished. Some places ban certain calibers for hunting because they're too small to be immediately effective (that is, to put down the animal in...

If you knew anything about how whips are actually constructed and how swords work, this wouldn't surprise you. Most functional whips are made of rawhide (not rope), a material that's honestly a pain in the ass to cut at the best of times (when properly treated), that is then braided to further...

@Kisato Nah, man, it's definitely the rainy season; can't you see Poemu getting drenched in certain panels?

@OrcaCat Assuming the author put any thought into it instead of just using it as a way to get the MC to have a slave, it's probably a distinction in social status. His beastkin "slave" and the main "slaves" he shows off seem closer to indentured servitude than actual slavery, so he's able to buy...

@cryum I imagine he would, if certain people would pay their rent.

@WillLi If you just want to swing the sword, anyone can do that. If you want to use a sword, that's a different beast altogether. It takes entirely different muscles to wield a sword properly than it does to use a rifle, bayonet, or knife; the stances are also entirely different (though you...

@Greenfrost Dunno if it's been mentioned before, since I can't remember either, but it's probably something like "otherworlder"; wouldn't surprise me if others have come over before and wondered, a little too persistently, just how sensitive those Elven ears are.

@FgoSegul @quagzlor Could be she's ostensibly a knight, but is more like a lady-in-waiting, so her normal duties would be sedentary enough to explain it.

@magnetsmangadex Basic elevators have been around since the 3rd century BCE and several royal palaces in Europe had some form of elevator in the 17th-18th centuries, so it's really not that strange.

@Temeraire Remember that this world was originally just a video game; probably one of those dime a dozen MMOs that spring up like weeds and have balancing issues, often lack consistency, and are just all around poorly made. But people play them because those things give it a certain charm.

@Richman Considering the power of headpats, I'd be more surprised if you couldn't.

@Asbolus As was mentioned, Lady Claes believes that Keith is her husband's bastard. For whatever reason, Lord Claes never explained the truth; presumably, for all that he seems a pretty decent guy, he's a product of his upbringing where the head of household's word is law. In the main story...

@reu Western martial arts were very much forgotten. We have the treatises, sure, but those haven't been practiced in their original form in some 500 years. That's why HEMA enthusiasts aren't so much "teaching", as they are "recreating" the style. Following the German traditions of longsword...

@greyhud90 Regarding the lack of leg armor, it was explicitly mentioned that they had nothing better in Eco's size and greaves, more than any other armor piece (except, maybe, the helmet) has to be very carefully fitted to the wearer's legs; that fitting is the difference between a protective...
