Houseki no Kuni - Vol. 9 Ch. 67 - Cairngorm

[Harlow]

Craig doesn't deserve this kind of suffering. What will become of Ghost though? Will she somehow get a new artificial body to bond over? Stay dead perhaps?

 

[Alhazred23]

And the story continues to twist in unpredictable ways, with the only common thread seeming to be that each new revelation is like a sucker punch for at least one character in particular. Ouch...

 

[ElBichoRaro]

Kind of sad, but understandable that many of the gems can't be restored.

 

[moel]

Shouldn' read this after woke up... Ughh the feels... I need porn now

And yet Phos is still a Frankenstein's monster of different minerals, yet this advice wasn't offered. In fact, this just seems to me like a move to remove one of Phos' best guardians. Never had a choice? So Ghost just told him to punch Phos several times when they first met? No, this guy just knows exactly what to say to make someone vulnerable and easy to manipulate. I'm betting on a grand betrayal by the what's his face the Lunarian leader, to show Adamant yet another horrible thing they'd do to get him to break down: using his children and making them regret it. That is, assuming they're even telling the truth about that, too much of Adamant's honesty speech is cut out to be sure, it's very likely Phos was told just enough lies to garner sympathy.

Man what a creepy chapter.

 

[Monky]

Despair and wonder. This manga never does the obvious or easy.

 

[Sonata]

Bet the sea life will eat up the 4s and lower and shit out bricks of multi facinated gems

The gems themselves have tried that before Phos, it doesn't work well on anyone but Phos thus far. Padparadscha for instance. The inclusions in Phos are apparently far more adaptable than the ones in everyone else. At best, trying what they did with Phos on the others might make a bunch of cases of Sleeping Beauty style gems.

I'm not gonna ignore the possibility of this all being a scheme on his part either, but dude we just saw some crazy shit go down in this chapter that doesn't seem well explained by "Cairngorm was talked into thinking this was a thing." There was something physically super sketchy going on there, I'd like to know more before I judge that particular event one way or the other.

@sonata it should be a crime to make someone laugh after getting hit with a truck of betrayal and feels
