I think she is a thief/rebel. It sounded like her group stole documents from the Baron in ch. 15 that proved he was embezzling. If I am correct, I imagine they believe the saint is evil and are trying to confirm/expose her.
I don't get it, he kills all the grunts without hesitation but just lets the boss go? That is beyond dumb. He had the ability to kill him easily but just decides, "Nah, I'll let him have a second chance because he didn't fight back enough this time."
I hope there is no reconciliation with the terrible mother. When she finally realizes she is a crap mom, she says it would be too embarrassing to act like a mother now. What a selfish and terrible person, and no matter how cute/beautiful the author tries to make her, she will always remain as...
If Noel is male, why are they wearing a skirt? All of the male characters have been wearing pants so far and all the females have been wearing skirts/dresses, it's very confusing.
@HayashidaYuki Yes this has an anime, and season 1 ends after this arc, so it is slightly ahead of the manga. Season 2 has been announced but is not out yet. As far as its differences, it is pretty much the same except the anime montages a lot of the forest and meeting with the beastfolk, so...
@BitterMatte Web novel spoiler for demon girl.
I do agree though, the demon girl was cute and I do somewhat prefer her to Cha, but later in the story I begin to appreciate their relationship more.
@HaikenEdge that would involve him doing something "nice" for someone by giving it as a gift. With the way this story has been going and how dumb this "hero" is, I'm guessing its a cursed shovel and they decide to dig with it, which will somehow create a hole for a demon to be released or...
I'm getting a weird feeling about that party, I'm hoping it's just me being overly cautious because of all the other manga I've been reading with betrayal. I really hope they are just a unique party that will be friendly for the entire time they are together.
There is absolutely no incentive for him to do this, I hope they don't continue with this cliche. My guess is cat girl will arm wrestle. Still stupid because there is no benefit to them, but better than the normal cliche.
Yeah, I have to drop this one. The female lead is just so annoying with the constant self-doubt, even though there is absolutely no reason for it. Maybe I'll come back to it in a year and just skip this arc, hopefully by then the author learns to write a less annoying character that regresses as...
Honestly, thought this was dead, glad to see it's back and thanks for the translation!
Also, who did not see that coming? Legendary dragon tamer plus extremely strong dragon that can't be tamed... Oh well, now there is a new friend for the Holy Dragon.
Best plan ever, kill the new demon lord's family. I see absolutely no problems with that... well other than that could anger him, cause us to be seen as his enemy and then he completely destroys the country. That would never happen though.
@Sharkexpert12 There is also the possibility that, since they seem to be extremely powerful beings, they are able to withstand the 'kill aura,' and possibly even recover quicker than they are being damaged by it.
Or you know they are protected by the best armor in the world... Plot Armor!
I hate the whole mind control trope, it's so overused. It's a way for lazy or bad writers to explain why someone all of a sudden changed their behaviour, that or a way to separate the MC from their friends/family. I really wish people would stop using it.
