[Viakana]

Oh ... well that ended fast, didn't it?

 

[Scarifar]

Oh no, Oscar's gonna get 7 years of bad luck now.

 

[WhimsiCat]

Well, he said animal cruelty is wrong.

Not animal weaponry.

[BasilD]

Damn I don't remember when oscar heard about killing our lovely cat
Also, more animal thoughts!

 

[ArchJester]

@WhimsiCat fair point

@Scarifar like having a black cat didn't already give him bad luck...

 

[Darthskippy]

I need to remind the fans that this is not a battle series so drawing out this all will just add more needless dialog.

 

[Darthskippy]

@BasilD Part 270, Chilo mentions it was the reason that the maids/butlers were attacking him.

 

[kami_chan]

Coffee is like "please, next time could your words match your actions?!"

 

[SlingToken]

Is the nice butler also a mirror demon?

 

[Hacete]

Yeah, your face was ugly.
(Please don't take that to heart)

 

[Nunally]

After you hit your enemy with a cat: Animal cruelty is wrong!

 

[pokefairy]

Oscar is peta confirmed

 

[hife]

How did Oscar know to break the mirror? Wouldn't it make more sense to go after the paintbrush? The witch was holding up the paintbrush and it had way more panel time. Even as a reader, I only saw the mirror when Flora was doing the self portrait and its significance was never made clear.

 

[Mato]

@hife I've checked myself this arc to make sure you're right and... You're right. Nada mentions the witch is using magical items, but she doesn't mention the mirror. Oscar maybe hit the item closest to him thinking it's a magical item, which is true, but it's still too metanarrtive (not sure if this term exists in English, it isn't my first language).
Like, the mirror only appears when Flora starts painting and it doesn't have any relevance until now. Let's wait and see the next chapters ^^

 

[BasilD]

@Darthskippy thank you for letting me know! Also, for the first bubble, it might be good to use "what is the hundred-foot cat doing here", it makes it clearer that she knows Coffee

 

[Darthskippy]

@BasilD I like to think that there are more hundred-foot cats and she is shocked some random small town cop managed to get one. Maybe they are like a Kitsune where the older they get the more tails feet they have.

@hife @Mato If I just bitched slapped and evil witch with a cat and noticed that there was a random mirror on the ground I'd probably think its important and smash it, and if that didn't work then move on to the next thing.

Also back in 292 Oscar and crew came into the room that Flora was stuck in just after the red haired bitch witch had vanished. Flora also didn't say anything about a paint brush so they seem to be under the assumption that the paintings were the only thing hurting Flora.

 

[hife]

@Darthskippy so basically Oscar just went on a rampage and started smashing things, and the first thing he hit (after the witch herself) just happened to be what defeated her. I can live with that. Maybe other protagonists should take that approach more often, instead of standing still letting the villain explain the whole evil plot and then get away.

The witch was mighty sure of her victory for someone that can be defeated by smashing a notoriously breakable object. Maybe she was expecting the "talking gloating is free action" approach.

 

[Sheepholata]

To be fair, we see in 316 that the witch is standing over or very near the mirror too (panel 3).
Maybe they saw something we didn't.
But yeah, the witch was clearly counting on "gloating is a free action" ^^;
