Just because he can bypass the entrance tax, he thinks it's okay. That's exactly what smuggling is. Illegally transporting him and his party across a border.

imagine watching HGTV and Pornhub on the same channel, that's what this manga is now lmao
@AnacondaHL
I would actually like watching that. Mixing porn in with other media seems like a good idea, actually.

Page 2. Title Page. Roxanne in glasses.
I both love and hate those sorts of title pages.
Love because seeing hotties in glasses is always good.... but sorta hate because I know it won't ever be canon and we won't see it again. =(
Heh... imagine living in a country where it doesn't rain equally all year round and they have a "rainy season". Pfffft!
Anyhow... I don't get why they're renting. Wasn't he talking about buying a home before?
@GrimGriefer : Smuggling is a just and appropriate response to the unethical act of assigning taxes / tariffs simply to take stuff from A to B. It'd be one thing if it was payment for the manual labour of transportation, but having to pay just for access is bullshit.

"Why are you grinning? Can you tell that Roxanne is a slave?"
I mean...she literally has a slave collar, so...
@SotiCoto I see your point about smuggling, but I think it's a bit more complicated. It was said that labyrinths near cities are managed by the lord (danger of monsters?), so the soldiers need to keep watch or something. That means salaries, so taxes seem kinda fair, generally speaking.
Think a museum. You pay to enter, and then watch all you want. Would you say sneaking into one is fair game too?

@Tatherwood : ... But most museums in London are free entry. There are special exhibits, but for the most part you can just walk into a museum here and hang out the same would at a park or library. The British Museum was my preferred hangout spot when I was in University.
But as for places I would have to pay to get into... whether or not I'd consider it fair to sneak in is whether my being there would cost anything... e.g. in maintenance or whatever. If my presence or absence makes no significant difference then I'd gladly sneak in.

@SotiCoto Fair, I guess. I still see a difference, but I'm not sure I'd be able to provide a good example.
I could mention public transportation, for instance (you pay for the ride, and with that money the government keeps the service running), or... Idk, public infraestructure (through taxes your city pays to turn on the lights at night), but I fear we'd enter into a deeper debate and there's no point.
I could say again that I see your point about smuggling, and even understand it, regardless of whether I agree with it or not. But I also still feel that comparing this with smuggling is not quite correct.
...that said, I'd also warp myself in to not pay XD

@Tatherwood : Some things it seems obvious to charge for, other things it seems obvious not to... and some things it isn't so clear-cut... at least from my perspective.
The public transport thing is an odd case, at least here if not other places... I mean on one hand I have to pay all these taxes, and you'd think that would account for the public transport too... BUT on the other hand I also have to pay fares directly for the transport. Fares which forever seem to escalate here in London to ridiculous prices, especially considering the way the city functions basically necessitates using them. Makes me think maybe the tax money isn't actually going to the public transport at all... in which case where the fuck IS it going? Anyway... yeah... if a vehicle uses more fuel to transport a greater load then it makes sense to pay some amount... but paying twice leaves a bad taste in the mouth.
But paying simply to be somewhere... as long as I'm not tracking filth in that needs to be cleaned up, my presence doesn't cost anything.... so there is no reason I should have to pay. And lights are often more of a nuisance than a help to me since I'm photosensitive. I can see better by moonlight than I can by sunlight.

Mc: how did she know Roxanne was a slave
Everyone reading this: Ayo she got a collar on bruh

So assuming a price to rent ratio of ~10 (like modern day Japan, it'd be lower if interest rates are high or if loans are difficult to get), then the House costs roughly the same as Roxanne.
Actually, from this it kind of looks like in this world, the value of 1 nar is roughly equivalent to 1 dollar, for large purchases or investments? That means that his labyrinth income was equivalent to roughly $1k per day (with Durandal making him OP and almost risking his life ofc), which is comparable to what say, a Blackwater mercenary would make.
Overall the economics of this world look well fleshed out.

He took it the long way, talking about mcArthur and the French Revolution to say he feels useless and unaccomplished in his life.
