Tensei Shitara Ken Deshita - Vol. 5 Ch. 26 - Named Item

[Med1um]

@Randomizer
Didn't he said that protection was due blessing/naming of the god, and blessing was quite narrowly focused, so only black cat kin can use it.
It's pretty much god blessed fran herself with that armor, there is no way that every random soldier will get the same treatment from the god.

tl;dr, god want fran to use skimpy clothing, so god made it impossible to prefer actual armor over skimpy one, atleast on perfomance side :)

Finally, some vitamin Fran! I've been suffering from emotional malnutrition ever since ST dropped the WN...

 

[Werebearguy]

The perfect way to describe the latter half of this chapter; Old man pounds loli catgirl. Bad jokes aside though, Fran is too precious. I want my own Fran.

 

[Brightamethyst]

I like the dress armor better, honestly.

 

[Operatix]

Ain't it nice having your smith follow you to the next town heh.

 

[orochijes]

ooooo dude full set black cat leather belt? AUHAUGH

 

[Harvester]

Does it bug anybody else how the belt is worn entirely as an accessory... yet she needs an additional sash to keep her shorts on? (Assuming the belt is actually the, uh, belt, and not the cord across the chestguard as the image indicates.) It doesn't even act as something to position her right hand's dagger higher up, as that appears to be the job of the aforementioned cord.

Every time Amanda opens her mouth, I just hear Horie Yui talking.

 

[zenyo]

One more for the Too Many Belts tv-trope page (along with a leather variant of the chanmail bikini with deflector shields)...

Well at least it's only one too much, so still far for the Final Fantasy level...

Spoiler

 

[zenyo]

Ooops double comment sorry, is there a way to erase it ?

 

[mahtan]

So that's their excuse for having the same blacksmith is all cities?
Nice.

 

[monkey123]

Ah there we go again with less armor -> more def theory. Strange thing I got a boner from it. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

 

[Kaiju27277]

Gods' naming sense; "Black Cat [insert item name]" Aside from the species only thing, that's a very uncreative name Gods.

 

[Wordsmith]

Fatherhood intesifies...

 

[degenerateafro]

They inadvertently explained Amanda's lack of armor as well. A good double bonus. Although I have to wonder, why the blessing does top high speed attacks up to a certain amount of force, does it stop a slow attack? For example you see Fran can grab Amanda thorough the armor and I would imagine that someone would be able to touch Frans stomach if they aren't applying too much force. Does that lead to a situation where you can push the knife in real gently ala Saving Ryans' Privates and bypass the protection.

 

[criver]

Plot has degraded little by little into 'equipping my pet isekai'.

 

[Shirobane]

@thejadmaster the web chapters are split into a couple of parts.

 

[chanmyse]

You know you're protagonist when NPC also follows you to the new map.

 

[boag]

DO NOT LEWD THE LOLI MURDER HOBO CAT!

 

[Drifter]

Now featuring Fran's cute belly button.

At least the author bothered with an explanation for how less armor can be more.
