And with this chapter, everything the anime showed is done. Can't wait for the next ones!

Just a touch different from the anime, but certainly nothing to complain about.

Thanks for the release, and onward to new content!

And so that ends the anime portion. A bit different, but I like the manga version a lot more. Especially since Satou explicitly condemned the annoying scoundrel to execution here, whereas it was more toned down in the anime. Glad there won't be any life-sparing pacifist BS after all the trouble he's put them through, time and time again. He was the type of side-character that was always going to be a thorn in their side even if he was a slave...so I'm happy he's goner now along with the aide. That being said, this series does still have undead skeletons, zombies, and ghosts....here's hoping they don't bring those two back, because they didn't offer much to the overall story.

Looking forward to seeing new content from hereon out with the next chapter.

I love Eraser kun.

@Harry_Dong: Actually, going by the next chapter, "compulsory execution" appears to be a mistranslation, since he was simply sentenced to slaving away in a dangerous mine. Maybe it's supposed to be "compulsory work" (i.e. "forced labor")?

 

[Harry_Dong]

@MarqFJA87 Yeah, was disappointed to know he would still be alive. Makes me curious now to see if he'll pop up again, since they mentioned the Kobolds attacking silver mines.

 

[MarqFJA87]

@Harry_Dong: Yeah, he might show up again, but remember that he's been made into a slave. The magic collars will ensure he cannot do anything that opposes any orders he may have been given; who's to say that they didn't give him orders that explicitly prevent him from straying far from that particular territory on the off chance that he tries to escape?

 

[Seideliot]

Actually, "compulsory execution" is a legal term meaning that, having proved the right of yor claim in front of a judge (in this case there was no jugdment as everyone saw the crime), the state has the obligation to retribute you by taking any necessary measure against the lossing party (like seize a property or sell any good to pay the debt, also called execution of a property, hence the name).
So, in this case, it's not a death penalty, but he has to retribute the 90 gold coins that the officer claims that Satou's potions were priced, so, if he can't pay the money, the state is obligated to find a way to pay the debt (asuming that he doesn't have the money, as he already lost his former job, selling him to slavers might be the only way the state has to force him to repay his debt in this world).
So, he is alive. The other noble's fate is less clear in this chapter, but there is no reason to believe he was forgiven his treason (as was shown it was considered a grave crime in their legal code).

I hope the anime continue ... what it was left ...
